(most of page 19) 'Trevor James Constable found a greater understanding of the etheric sciences inthe teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of the Anthroposophical Society, and during this same period he became acquainted with the work of Wilhelm Reich as well as with the energy healing formulated by Dr Albert Abrams and developed by Dr Ruth Beynar Drown under the title radionics; this also brought him into contact with Reich's daughter Eva who was also an avid supporter of Drown's teachings. Gradually Constable was able to align his own views of UFOs as ether ships with Reich's concept of orgone energy, particularly its association with both the ORANUR experiment of 1951-2 and the flying saucer mystery. This convinced him even further of the existence of invisible lifeforms living in the upper atmosphere so-called 'Critters' or 'sky creatures' as he decided to christen them.

During the summer of 1957, the year of Reich's tragic death, Constable teamed up with a colleague named Jim X. Woods for the purposes of trying to obtain photographic evidence of his 'critters'. Having chosen a suitable location in the Californian desert between Yucca Valley and Old Woman Springs, the two men set up their camera equipment loaded with infrared-sensitive black and white film. The agreed plan was for Constable to stand on a slight eminence and conduct a meditational practice known as the Star Exercise. This was believed to align his body with the earth's magnetic field, while setting himself up as a 'bioenergetic beacon' in the hope that it would attract inquisitive critters' into the recordable ranges of the IR (infrared) spectrum.

At the same time Woods would take up position a little way away and photograph the empty sky against background features, generally with Constable in the lower part of the frame. The experiments would normally take place in the pre-dawn desert air - the time they decided most conducive for this kind of psychic experiment.

By mid 1958 the results of the two men's photographic sessions were clear to see. In just one year they had captured over 100 anomalous images on film. Some showed dark objects, others showed extraordinary ellipses looking like living cells. while still others resembled more classic UFOs. All appeared to be of considerable size and were framed by physical features such as desert landscapes, hills and people.

The potency of what Constable and Woods had achieved can he judged by the remarkable series of images recordeon an IR motion film in the Mojave Desert on an unspecified date. The sequence. shot at 24 frames per second and reproduced in his 1976 book 'The Cosmic Pulse of Life', shows six consecutive pictures in which Constable stands some distance away with his hands raised in the air. Descending into frame is a clear amoeba-like anomaly that, in a mere quarter second of exposure. divides in two. joins back together, before finally ascending out of frame.

Constable came to believe that his photographs showed 'aerial fauna' - conscious'bioforms' of etheric energy of the sort believed in by followers of Rudolf Steiner and studied scientifically by Wilhelm Reich. In the years that followed Constable constructed a cloudbuster and used it not just for weather control operations, but also to draw alleged bioforms' into manifestation (in contrast to Reich who used the device to make them fade from appearance). By employing this process, Constable and Woods were able to obtain many more photographic anomalies to support their case. To Constable it eventually became clear that whether he used the Star Exercise or a cloudhuster they both appeared to produce exactly the same results.

By far the most intrigueing of the photographic anomalies recorded by Constable were the dark elliptical shapes captured on IR-sensitive, black and white film, often set against a suitable backdrop such as a distant horizon, a hill summit, or, on occasions. the upright tubes of the cloudbuster. These amorphous images were believed to represent invisible bioforms encroaching the very fringes of the IR frequency range, hence their appearance only on IR-sensitive film. Constable noted that Reich had achieved almost identical black 'dots' when attempting to photograph microscopic bion cultures. Although minute, these black and white photographs taken in 1944 showed sharply defined circles with a less sharp periphery or 'field'..................'

MEDITATION, THE HORN SOUND AND OTHER EVENTS (pages 183-9)

(SEE MORSE 94 also)

Orgone 94 Andy Collins (left) and Rodney Hale during the hot summer of '94. The white box is an orgone device based on Reich's work.

I have described the events leading up to the Furious Host meditations (one of several types employed in Orgone 94 - JPH) in the light of what was to transpire when they actually took place. Some of what follows mav seem a little hard to swallow and perhaps out of character with the rest of this book: however. I feel it is worth citing in its entirety.Six people took part in the Friday lunchtime meditation on Woodborough Hill which was conducted by Debbie. The visualisation featured her recall of the 'wild women' ceremony conducted in the presence of children at the crossroads in the great woods she first saw in her mind during the initial meditation in April. The whole experiment was monitored using the usual equipment and a steadv increase in the background radiation count was, once again, registered during the meditational period. Aside from this result. however, no further anomalies were reported.

The Orgone 94 team returned to the hill shortly after nine o'clock that evening to set up the equipment for the final experiment. For this we were joined bv a whole host of visitors including German journalist Jurgen Kronig, farmer Polly Carson, Austrian crop circle researchers Oliver Stummer and Daniela Schroter, as well as John and Julie Wakefield.

The pre-control period began at 21.27 and following the call for meditation nine people took their places in the circle - Polly Carson, Jurgen Kronig. John Wakefield. Earthquest members Duncan Bittle and Grace Carey, Sue and Andy Batey from West Overton, and, of course, Debbie who once again conducted the session. Oliver Stummer monitored the Jupiter radiation counter, Rodney Hale tended the electromagnetic instrumentation, while Karl Dawkins and myself operated the camera and video equipment, which was directed north-east, through the group of meditators, towards Tawsmead Copse. Standing with us were Julie Wakefield and her friend. Kevin NIuttett.

The sky was perfectly clear, the air was warm and there was a very slight southerly wind (at 7 knots, according to the meteorological office at RAF Lyneham). Bv the time the meditation got under way at 21.42, the sun had vanished and the light was fading fast The wind began gusting some one minute into the session and continued to do so periodically for the next several minutes. Photographs were taken at 21.42 and 21.47 without incident and then, at exactly 21.51, the tenth minute into the meditation. those gathered around the camera bank heard the sound of voices approaching from the direction of the trees, just beyond the southern extremes of the hill-top. All could plainly hear what appeared to be several people talking all at once, in between the clear sound of children laughing and yelling.

My first reaction was one of mild frustration. Quite obviously a group of people with children was ascending the only path onto the hill and very soon they would appear over the ridge and make their way over to our position; this was all we needed to spoil the meditation. Unexpectedly, we each then heard a distinct sound identified as a long horn blast - one single note lasting for approximately two and a half seconds. The video recording of the experiment records that this noise took place nine minutes and 17 seconds into the meditation. It happened again inside a minute (although on this and on all subsequent occasions it was not picked up by the audio mic) as the cacophony of voices grew steadily louder, leading us to jokingly suggest that the commotion heralded the approach of the Wild Hunt.

Seeing my frustration, Julie Wakefield finally said: 'I'll go and talk to them,' assuming that she could persuade the visitors to either keep the noise down or leave the hill completely.

At this moment Paul Hailey, who had been approaching the group by making a long perambulation around the outside of the 'background' EM coil, arrived at the camera bank.

Morse 94. I walked up from the van (past the camera position) to join the others on the hill. The shaman was singing! (Pic by Paul Hailey)

He revealed that as he had approached the southern edge of the hill he had distinctly heard the sound of low chanting of the sort that an Amerindian medicine man might make when in a trance. It had appeared to be close and had continued until he was within sight of the meditational group, a time period of perhaps two to three minutes. He assumed it had originated from the group of meditators and so wondered what they were doing as chanting was not normally used in such sessions.

On the other side of the hill Julie now approached the copse of trees with the sound of the male voices and children laughing and yelling directly in front of her. She continued down-hill towards the wooden stile, over which anyone must pass if approaching from the Woodborough barns. Half way between the edge of the trees and the wooden stile, she became aware that the aural commotion seemed to be right upon her. It was coming from all sides - voices, some of adults, some of children, laughing, talking. yelling - and yet despite all this she could see no one at all. Deeply perplexed, she continued on. assuming she would be able to see more from the stile. The voices then ceased, but still she could periodically discern the peculiar horn-like noise as well as a strange, low chant which, like Paul Hailey, she later compared to the sound an Amerindian shaman might make when in a trance. It seemed to be coming from just metres away. and on reaching the stile she climbed onto its wooden step hoping to trace the source of the voices. In silence, she gazed around her and realised that she was completely alone. No one was hiding in the thickets, or concealing themselves in the ripened wheat fields below. Yet still the clear sound of the low shamanic chant continued unabated. Most eerie of all, the only signs of life she did notice as this vocal cacophony came to an end were small animals, rabbits most probably, scurrying wildly about in the nearby undergrowth as if greatly disturbed by something; never before had she noticed this type of uncharacteristic behaviour in local fauna.

Julie waited and listened for another couple of minutes before returning to the camera bank and revealing what had occurred. I cannot doubt her word in this matter. At the time she was highly mystified and unnerved by the whole experience, but later, once she had begun to unwind at The Barge Inn, Honey Street, she became quite overwhelmed by what had happened. She later admitted that the event had so profoundly affected her that she had been unable to get it out of her mind for over a week.

The rest of the meditation had gone without incident. However, on analysing the results it was found that Rodney Hale's triple-tubed Geiger counter had registered a dramatic increase in the background count rate during the meditation. This was confirmed on the Jupiter counter which also measured a similar rise. Furthermore, the local EM channel had recorded a whole sequence of low frequency oscillations, the most in any one experiment for the entire week. These had begun during the first minute of meditation and had petered out one minute into the post-control period at a point when those taking part had still been seated in a circle. Even without any knowledge of what had happened. some of the meditators later revealed that they had come out of the visualisation so 'spaced out', they had still felt like they were in an altered state of consciousness some hours later.

Screaming Goats or Rutting Deer?

Peculiarly enough. none of the meditational group, or those monitoring the equipment, heard any voices whatsoever. Most did, however, hear one or more of the strange sounds identified by those positioned at the camera bank as long horn blasts. Some, however, interpreted them in a different way. Polly Carson initially identified the sounds as one of her goats screaming in agony a noise she had heard before. So much had she believed this that she nearly broke the circle, feeling that she should return to the farm and deal with the problem. It was not until after the meditation that she had begun questioning this explanation. Although she still describes the sound as like a goat in pain, she realised that the farm's own two goats could not have been responsible for the noise as at the time they were located 1.3 km north-west of Woodborough Hill. Since there was a gusting southerly wind during the period of the meditation it would have meant that any animal noises would have originated from this direction. In addition to this, no one heard anything at the Old Manor and the goats were found to be in perfect health upon Polly's return around 23.30 that evening.

This left the possibility that the strange sounds were in fact made by some other animinal, a rutting deer perhaps. Although most types of deer rut in October, roe deer rut between mid July and mid August. The sounds they make might be described as sounding like horns or the cries of a goat, so could they have been to blame for the curious sounds? Roe deer are known to inhabit the area and have been seen on the Alton Barnes estate, especially around Tawsmead Copse, so there is always a possibility that this was the case. This solution does, however, pose a few fundamental problems. Firstly, the sounds were coming from the south where only corn fields, the Woodborough barns and the Kennet and Avon Canal are to he found, and these are not normally the habitat fisr rutting deer. Secondly, Julie failed to see any sign of deer when she had stood on the stile and stared out across the open fields towards Woodborough Barns in the half light, though the horn blasts had seemed to be coming from just metres away.

In addition to this, John and Julie Wakefield lived in a caravan at the base of Woodborough Hill for over a year - and say they never once heard the sound of rutting deer. Polly Carson confirmed this fact, adding that she is familiar with the noises deer make and feels that what she and others heard that night is incompatible with this sound. What's more, those who did hear the strange sounds all agree that they sounded as if they were relatively close, possibly only 100m or so away. This is borne out by the fact that the video equipment has preserved this sound on tape and yet it failed to record any of the phantom voices. Those who have listening to this recording confirm that the noise is that of a horn, not an animal of some kind.

Appeasing Hela

There was obvious excitement among the assembled party after the realisation of what had just occurred. Yet more important was to establish from Debbie the exact contents of the meditation, bearing in mind that only Polly had known the full details of the original Hosts of Hela material. As those taking part will confirm, following some simple breathing exercises and the raising of the cone of power, Debbie had asked everyone to visualise the torch-lit procession approaching the crossroads in the darkness carrying aloft a young man. Before the silhouetted crowd walked a wild shaman, covered in animal skins, tattoos and dried blood. On reaching the central clearing the young man is made to sit down and face north. The crowd then move slowly around the crouched figure and begin to chant and bang drums and bells. They gradually increase in speed and fervour until he is writhing around in a trance and small globes of orange light are moving towards him through the trees. They then stop abruptly as the shaman raises his arms and starts chanting an invocation. Once this has been completed they leave behind the seated figure and depart the area. As the silhouetted crowd disappear in the distance, the entranced man discerns, coming from the south, a low vibration in the ground, a distant rumble that gradually increases in strength until it becomes a constant drone of thunder and horses' hooves.

Neither the meditators or the man are permitted to look around at what approaches, even as the dreadful din grows steadily louder. Not until the very last moment, when the sounds are right upon them, were those taking part allowed to turn around and witness, all at once, the dark silhouetted riders racing through the air upon black horses with eyes of burning light, fiery exhalations spurting from their gaping jaws and glowing balls of fire keeping pace with the hunt. The victim is then yanked upwards by the clutches of unseen hands and carried high over Tawsmead Copse until the whole nightmare slowly fades into the darkness. With the yearly offering of a human soul made in the name of Hela, the crops could now be harvested without fear of storms or blight. The meditators were then asked to return in mind to Woodborough Hill and see the cone of power being slowly dismantled.

These were the essential elements of the 29-minute meditation, and this is all it was - a meditation featuring creative visualisation. So could there have been a direct link between its vivid imagery, played out in the mindscape of those involved, and the very real sound effects heard by Karl Dawlcins, Paul Hailey, Kevin Muttett, Julie Wakefield and myself? The answer is quite clearly yes. None of us were aware of exactiy what visualisation Debbie was going to use. Yet despite this there are clear elements of what she had asked the group to visualise in what occurred that night. For instance, there was the approach of mature voices from the south, the direction from which the Furious Host was seen to come. There was the repeated sound of horn blasts, like those that accompanied the Wild Hunt seen at night in the deer park and woods around Peteiborough in Northants and Stamford in Lincolnshire, according to the entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for AD 1127. On this occasion of its appearance it was said that 'a pack of huntsmen in full cry' rode spectral black horses alongside 'black bucks' and 'pitch black' hounds 'with staring hideous eyes'. There was also the shamanic chanting heard at two different locations at least 200 m apart - this matched the chanting of the shaman invoking the Furious Host (no meditator actually chanted aloud). Lastly, there was the clear sound of children approaching - the souls of unbaptised children were taken by the night riders of the Furious Host.

I re-emphasise that no one, not even myself, was aware of exactly what Debbie intended using in the two meditations on Friday, 29 July 1994.1 had some idea, of course, but these thoughts would have been lost in the constant co-ordination of the Orgone 94 monitoring programme. If this can be accepted then the most bizarre aspect of this affair is that the aural commotion, including the shamanic chanting, occurred between the tenth and fourteenth minute of the 29-minute meditation. Knowing that the preliminary breathing exercises and raising of the cone of power takes around seven to eight minutes to complete, then the Furious Host visitalisation would hardly have begun when the strange events occurred; this is confirmed by those meditators who actually heard the horn blasts soon after the raising of the cone of power. In other words, the audible sounds, especially chanting, appeared to pre empt the sequence of imaginary events created by Debbie during her meditation.

'Supernatural thing'

If the sound of the voices and the horn blasts were paranormal effects, then what on earth, then what on earth was happening on Woodborough Hill that night? Firstly, it is important to remember that particular experiment also produced noticeable radiation increases and more low frequency oscillations than at any other time that week. All this strongly hints at the fact thet the meditation was having its desired effect - modifying instrumental and environmental conditions through unconscious non-local interaction or psychokinesis. Indeed I have to admit that in this capacity the Furious Host meditation worked better than any of the extra-terrestrial meditations we had conducted on previous days. With this in mind, it is therefore not outside the realms of possibility that the human mind had also catalysed the manifestation of sound effects impregnated into the fabric of the localised energy matrix through past human interaction with the site, whether in Saxon or more recent times. Again, this may seem as if we are going outside the parameters set during the earlier phases of this book, but read on.

There are already precedents for paranormal sounds of precisely this nature occurring in Wiltshire. For example, Kathleen Wiltshire recorded that the 'sounds of horses galloping, chains rattling and horns blowing' were associated with a round harrow named Gun's Church in the parish of High Deverill, near Warminster. This spectral activity was seen as evidence of a 'phantom hunt' that, although linked with the ghost of an eighteenth-century lord of the manor, almost certainly has Norse origins.

Kathleen Wiltshire also recorded details of a 'haunted field' bordering Berricot lane, Badbury, near Chiseldon. A Mrs Trixie Setman of Iterricot lane was out walking her dog when it suddenly froze to the spot and displayed 'signs of terror'. The animal was trembling all over and refused to budge. Puzzled, Mrs Selman and her two children then clearly heard the sound of 'many children's voices and laughter, which went on and on.' Moving on with a very reluctant dog, the three searched the field for the source of this joviality but found nothing. Returning to the same spot, situated next to a gate, they again heard the children's voices. Passing back through the gate into the adjoining field they could hear nothing, but on returning once more to the original spot the same sounds were discerned. The party repeated the process several times, always receiving the same result. Eventually they concluded that it must be some kind of 'supernatural thing' and thereafter spoke of the location as the 'haunted field'. These events took place in 1961. Eight years later when the field made way for the M4, 'the remains of a Roman villa' were apparently unearthed.

If we can accept these accounts at face value, and also accept that the unaccountable vocal cacophony heard on Woodborough Hill was indeed a 'supernatural thing', then it is possible that if Saxon processions and dark goddess rites did ever take place in Tawsmead Copse around the beginning of August, then conducting the meditation at the correct time of year increased our chances of success. Of course, this knowledge could simply have induced the right psychological state of mind in those taking part, or perhaps the human mind is naturally more receptive at certain times of the year. It could also be possible that the annual solar cycle temporarily recreates an energy-related environment receptive to the sort of activities once conducted in the same area - in this case rites to appease Hela, the Norse goddess of the underworld.

We had hoped and expected that the Furious Host meditations would catalyse the appearance of mysterious light phenomena over Tawsmead Copse. And yet other than the glistening, golden light witnessed by Paul Hailey on Thursday, 28 July, this was not to be the case. Instead, something quite unexpected had occurred - an unaccountable vocal commotion of no apparent human origin. This I must accept until such time as I know otherwise.

The Last Laugh

In the wake of the excitement surrounding Orgone 94's final 'terrestrial'-based experiment, the rest of the group departed Woodborough Hill leaving Paul Hailey and myself to quietly reflect on the week's activities. We remained on the hill until two o'clock the next morning and in this time, despite constantly scanning the skies, we saw nothing out of the ordinary.

On the other side of Fast Field, however, it was quite another story. Tom and Kerry Blower from Cardiff were sky-watching from their vehicle in Knap Hill car-park when around midnight they noticed something highly unusual above Woodborough Hill. Looking closer they could see three square lights - one white, one orange and the other red - stacked one above the other at a slight angle as if mounted vertically on the underside of an invisible object shaped like a spinning-top. In sequence, these lights continually blinked out to be immediately replaced by an identical set on their right-hand side. In turn these would then blink out and be replacad by a similar set, and so on and so forth until after a fifth line of lights had blinked out the invisible object would be left momentarily in darkness as the lights on its reverse side presumably continued the sequence. The first set of lights would then re-appear and the whole sequence would start again. This light spectacular continued for some 60 seconds before the couple made a grab for their video recorder. Holding it in position they pressed the operate button, only to find that the battery was flat. Replacing it quickly, they were frustrated to find that this battery was also flat even though both had been fully charged only a few hours beforehand.

Sketch by Tom and Kerry Blower explaining the mysterious sequences of 'square' coloured lights they witnessed directly over Woodborough Hill during the late evening of 29 July 1994. At the time Paul Hailey and the author were relaxing on the summit of the hill, but saw nothing. Why?

All they could do was continue to watch the revolving light display from their elevated position for an estimated three to four minutes. During this time they became certain that it was positioned directiy over Woodborough Hill at a height of no more than 30 m above the copse of trees crowning the summit. So clear were these strange tights that when they did finally extinguish, Tom and Kerry Blower concluded that they must have been connected with the Orgone 94 experimentation - some sort of aerial balloon perhaps. Furthermore, shortly after this event they also saw bursts of light, like 'fireworks fanning out', that appeared to come from the side of the hill. Others apparently joined them by their vehicle who had also seen this 'firework' display. They too concluded that this activity must have been connected with the Orgone 94 experiments.

Well, I can safely assure Tom and Kerry Blower that none of this was connected with Orgone 94 in any way, shape or form. Furthermore, neither Paul Hailey or myself saw any rotating lights above Woodborough Hill. I have often been accused of being 'blind', but I fall to see how either of us could have missed such blatant aerial activity, whatever it's origin. It was for this reason that I later asked Tom and Kerry Blower if they were sure the lights had been positioned above Woodborough Hill. There response was emphatic - yes, they had been positioned directly over the copse of trees!

The weather that night had been fine and clear so there is very little chance that what the Blowers saw was some kind of laser light show bouncing off low cloud, so how might we explain what they quite clearly witnessed that night? Perhaps there is a logical explanation for what they saw, but if so, then why did neither Paul Hailey nor I see of what was going on? There are too many cases in ufological history where one set of witnesses see inexplicable aerial phenomena, while another group of people down then road see nothing, so the Blower's sighting cannot he dismissed lightly. In the light of the results obtained during the Furious Host meditation only an hour or so beforehand, the lilelihood of aerial light phenomena occurring in the vicinity was, I believe, extremely high. The fact that the stacked sequences of square tights were seen directly over both Woodborugh Hill, and our own heads, shortly after the completion of the final Orgone 94 experiment, seemed like the cosmic joker's last laugh, particularly in view of our opinions regarding structured spacecraft, and perhaps there really is a message in here somewhere.
