Pigeon Man

Pigeon Man PDF Author: Jim Emerton

ISBN: 1861516916
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 502

Book Description
Jim Emerton bred and raced birds for 40 years and had birds return to the loft from as far as 879 miles away. Now in retirement from active racing, he devotes his time and energies to sharing his experiences, his observations and his expertise with the rest of the fancy. Here in one volume is a comprehensive collection of his thoughts about pigeons and pigeon racing, ranging from short pieces originally written for the leading fanciers? magazines to full-length articles and interviews. What unites us in principle is the common good of the sport, and with this in mind I do what I can for others ? it all oils the cogs of the sport. Some will see me as a know-all, yet I am a quiet little man making my mark, that's all. What is true is that I have made a life study of pigeons, and as a teacher I like to impart knowledge and experience? My aim is purely to tell it as it is to me, and if this is illuminating to others, then so be it.?

HAUNEBU: THE SECRET FILES

HAUNEBU: THE SECRET FILES PDF Author: David Childress
Publisher: SCB Distributors
ISBN: 1948803402
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 408

Book Description
David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, brings us the incredible tale of the German flying disk known as the Haunebu. Although rumors of German flying disks have been around since the late years of WWII it was not until 1989 when a German researcher named Ralf Ettl living in London received an anonymous packet of photographs and documents concerning the planning and development of at least three types of unusual craft—craft which we would classify today as UFOs or flying saucers. Ettl went on to make several television documentaries based on the material in the packet and released most of the documents and photos to researchers in Austria and other parts of Europe. What the Ralf Ettl document dump shows us is what many have suspected for a long time: that WWII did not end in the manner in which we have been told, and a remnant of the Nazi military—particularly the SS—continued to operate flying saucers and submarines around the world in the decades after the end of the war. This activity—involving a flying saucer known as the Haunebu—was particularly notable in South America, but it ultimately involved all the continents of the world including Antarctica. Join Childress as he shows us the secret files involving the Haunebu, the Vril craft, the Andromeda craft, and others. Includes a 16-page color section. Over 120 photographs and diagrams.
