This book was given to The Black Vault many years ago, when I appeared to give a lecture at a conference. It has sat in my archives until recently found again. I do not vouch for the information, as I did not conduct it, but wanted to share it for research purposes and discussion.

Copyright notice: An attempt to find the author, Edward Mcbride, failed. In addition, a search was made to find commercial copies – a bound version for sale – to find the copyright. That came up negative. It does not appear to be published in any form, nor appear anywhere on the internet or for sale. So, it was decided that it would be posted under “fair use” with a copyright notice attached attributing the work to the author, wherever he may be. If anyone knows him, please let me know.

In August and September of 2016, I received a letter from an anonymous book collector who came across a text from the 18th century. Published in 1716, this book clearly has a flying saucer shaped craft depicted in it’s cover art.

Although I have been made well aware of many of the ancient and antique texts that have similar references, this one seemed new to me, and I was intrigued.

This was the original letter I received, to quote exactly:

I would prefer to remain anonymous but, that said, I can give you a little more information that makes this a riddle to be solved. Most of my skeptical friends dismissed this as a religious reference to the shield of God as quoted in Ps 84. But an associate who spoke Latin found a reference in the book that describes the sighting of a UFO in the classical saucer shape. I think this is important since there is a general dismissal of historical illustrations that are easily interpreted as some type of flying craft (Jung notwithstanding).

The issue is that the passage was shown to me many decades ago before the internet and I have no way or will to research this any further. I am an ex antiquarian collector/dealer specializing in books on occult and science. I guard my privacy very carefully so I cannot participate any further than this.

I am wondering if you could throw this out there and have some researcher dig into the volume and find the reference once again. I did see a scanned copy online with free access so I figured now was a good time to bring it up again.

After sharing some messages back and forth, I then received additional information on how this person became aware of the text:

It was after hurricane Hugo took a swipe at Charleston in the late eighties. I survived as did my shop but many were less fortunate. There were quite a few antiquarian book dealers and collectors whose collections took damage. I made a good bit of business restoring books and ephemera and often, when a book was damaged, the owner would lose interest in it. They were usually a Roast Beef collector -an old derisive term the Brits used when selling decorative bindings to wealthy patrons looking for interior decoration. They would buy roast beef (an old volume of obscure poetry) for the price of a steak.  I traded many rare volumes with bad bindings for worthless decorative books -assuming the bindings were dressed up with a good dose of mink oil and wax.

Such was the case for the volume in question. The leather had been soaked and contaminated so it to be removed. The frontispiece itself still has water damage. When I opened the volume up, I almost lost my poker face. Fortunately, the owner thought it worthless even when new and gave it to me for fifteen dollars.

I took this information, and did verify the book existed (and special thanks to them for finding me the digitized version of it linked below).

There are a huge number of incredible artifacts lying scattered across the floors of abandoned, forgotten basements of the world’s greatest natural history museums.

In the dim, dusty corners of these museums we find some of the keys to the greatest mysteries of Mankind. Strange and unlikely artifacts found, studied and discarded are more common than most people know.

Thousands of things have been discovered that argue against the natural order that scientists have deemed as the official record of the rise of humanity. Among them was the remarkable discovery of a stone embedded with a three-pronged plug that is approximately 100,000 years old.

This mysterious archaeological finding was discovered accidentally by electrical engineer John J. Williams in 1998. Like many other precious, though undervalued artifacts, it may constitute a proof that extraterrestrial visitations to the planet Earth widely influenced our ancestors, so they became advanced and civilized and walked the earth long before any of the known ancient cultures came into existence.

Based on a few, preliminary consultations with an engineer and geologist, the artifact has an appearance of an electronic component embedded in a naturally formed, solid granite stone composed of quartz and feldspar – including very small percentages of mica – already existed at the time of the formation of the rock.

In addition, it resembles an electronic XLR connector or another very similar component and reveals no trace of having been glued or welded.

It shows a weak magnetic attraction, and ohm meter readings reveal that it has a strength approaching that of an open circuit.

The three-pronged plug is held by a matrix of a thus-far indeterminable origin. The 0.3-inch diameter piece does not appear to be manufactured out of wood, plastic, rubber, metal, or some other recognizable material.

NOTE: The above image is real.

KENS NOTE:  I feel this earth has been here for millions of years and thousands of civilizations have come and gone from this earth.  When will it be our turn ?
