 | Church of Scientology's Alien Mountain Bunker A FUNDAMENTAL belief of Scientology is that 75 Million Years ago an ALIEN OVERLORD (called XENU) brought billions of ALIENS to Earth in SPACECRAFT (that resembled the McDonnell-Douglas DC8) and, after stacking them around VOLCANOES, he blew them up with HYDROGEN BOMBS. When man evolved (about 74 million years later) the ALIEN GHOSTS attached themselves to the newly formed humans and continue parasitize us today. Hubbard called these Alien Spirits "THETANS" and Scientologists place considerable emphasis on NEUTRALIZING these Alien Souls and their ILL EFFECTS (i.e. MENTAL PROBLEMS AND DISEASES). As modern PSYCHIATRY doesn't take into account ALIEN SPIRITS, Scientologists reject this branch of Medicine completely. In this video, a CNN reporter takes to the skies to view the huge ALIEN LANDING SITES that the Church of Scientology has carved into the ground in New Mexico. These strange symbols, like ancient NAZCA lines, can only be seen from the air. Adjacent to these carvings is the highly-guarded Church of Scientology's ARCHIVE BUILDING (which holds L Ron Hubbard's original writings transcribed for eternity onto Titanium plates). The whole area is HIGHLY SECRETIVE and the Scientologist's frightened off all the local pilots, who refused to take the CNN crew over the site. However, CNN managed to persuade one very brave pilot to take a risk. And this is the video that was filmed. |
 | Hiking to the Summit of Mauna Kea, Big Island of Hawaii Aloha! I'm Donnie MacGowan and I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. Today, I'd like to take you to the top of Mauna Kea. At 13, 796 feet above sea level, Mauna Kea's summit is the highest point in the State of Hawaii; since its base lies at 19000 feet below sea level, its has a base-to-summit height of 33,000 feet, making it the tallest mountain on earth. It's also one of my most favorite places on earth. Mauna Kea began forming on the sea floor about one million years ago. Its name means "White Mountain" in the Hawaiian language and it is snowcapped much of the winter, and the summit is covered with permafrost 35 feet deep. During the ice ages, Mauna Kea's summit was glaciated 3 times, starting about 200000 years ago and ending only 11000 years ago. One can see the U-shaped valleys and cirques, striated bedrock, glacial tills covering the summit area and remnants of ice-damned lava flows from those times. There are even the remains of extinct rock glaciers near the summit. Produced by Donnie MacGowan; original musical score written and performed by Donald B.

 | Devastation Trail, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Written and produced by Donald B. MacGowan; videography by Frank Burgess and Donald MacGowan; Narration by Frank Burgess; Original Music by Donnie MacGowan When Kilauea Iki erupted from vents on Pu'u Pai in November of 1959, several feet of hot ash and cinder-sized pieces of pumice fell on the lush fern forest downwind. Devastation trail follows the edge of this inundation, linking the Kilauea Iki Overlook Parking lot with another parking lot at the intersection of Crater Rim Drive with Chain of Craters Road in a wonderful and interesting 0.7 mile, 30 to 45 minute) hike. During the eruption, fire fountains of molten lava shot up as high as 1900 feet tall from the eruptive rifts. For a sense of scale, the world's tallest building, the Taipei 101 which is 101 stories tall and 1667 feet high, would be dwarfed by these fire fountains. These immense fountains spread ash, pumice and spatter all around the area, as well as fed liquid lava to the lava pond within Kilauea Iki crater. The spatter was hot and plastic enough to weld together into the spatter cones you see on Pu'u Pai, however, the tephra and ash pumice spread out and fell downwind, depositing an immensely thick (as much as 3 meters) blanket when the eruption column collapsed between fountains. This pumice buried lush forest, which is preserved on the eastern side of Devastation Trail. On the west side of the trail is the sterile, moon-like devastation surface of pumice. A few o'hia trees, dead and bleached, poke up through the pumice and very gradually some o'hia, ohelo and ferns are beginning to recolonize the dead zone. Look for numerous tree molds along the trail in the section about a third of the way from Pu'u Pai to the Devastation Trail parking lot. Pumice results when there is a lot of gas and water dissolved in the liquid lava. As the lava is erupted, pressure is released, the melt begins to cool quickly and the gas is rapidly exolved from the liquid lava—much the way carbon dioxide is exolved as a bubbly froth when you shake a can of soda pop. The spatter and lava in the ponds cool slowly enough for all the gas to escape, and the resultant rock is very dense when it finally solidifies. The pumice, however, chills so rapidly it forms a glass-like, frothy substance because it traps the bubbles. This is why pumice has a low enough density to float on water.

 | Zuni Sunrise - Newspaper Rock Canyonlands National Park Utah A version of Zuni Sunrise played by Brent Haines on a Woodsounds flute at Newspaper Rock at Canyonlands National Park in southern Utah. These rock petroglyphs are ancient symbols of the Native People that lived there. Under the top petroglyphs you can see older ones that have long faded away. They were etched by stone tools through the dark patina. They tell stories of game hunts, animals and also Spiritual beings, such as the large, strong, amazingly impressive horned 'Elk Man' & 'Bison Man'. www.woodsounds.com |

 | Achim Hagemann, Pu'u Loa, Hawaii, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Just a little paragliding flight in the middle of the day in perfect conditions. There is a resident thermal right in front of launch. I have gotten up 1000 f. above launch but low cloud base can be an issue. Located at the base of Mauna Kea, Hawaii at 7200 feet Pu'u Loa makes for one of the best paragliding and hang gliding training sites in the State of Hawaii This site turns a student into a complete mountain pilot in very short order. Conditions are usally calm in the morning and then build to strong with great xc potential. Our club has permission to use several hundred acres of pristine wilderness flying sites. This site is great for all pilots pilots who want to try mountain flying in moderate to strong conditions with huge landing areas and also enjoy a a breathtaking view of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Great chance for experienced pilots to access some of the more remote parts of Mauna Kea with high altitude wilderness take offs and strong xc conditions. Very beautiful sites with lots of wild life. Wilderness Camping is available at the base of Pu'u Loa. For more infomation contact Achim Hagemann at 808 895 9772 |
 | Thurston Lava Tube, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Written and produced by Donald B. MacGowan; videography by Frank Burgess and Donald MacGowan; Narration by Frank Burgess; Original Music by Donnie MacGowan Nahuku, the Thurston Lava Tube, gives the visitor an opportunity for a close-at-hand inspection of the inner plumbing of a volcano. It also makes for an interesting and unique way to escape the noonday heat or afternoon shower briefly. Lava tubes form when the outer crust of a flowing river of lava begins to cool and crust over, but the lava continues to flow beneath it; when the flow has completely drained away, the lava tube is left behind. Thurston lava tube is a remarkably large, well-preserved and accessible example of a lava tube-type cave. An easy, 0.3 mile trail (about a 15 minute hike) winds through lush fern forest alive with singing bird and buzzing insects, down into a collapse crater entering the lava tube and slipping about 300 feet through the well-lighted, floored cave, popping up through a skylight in the tube and returning to the parking lot. A very easy walk and certainly a "must see" for any visitor to the park. When Lorrin Thurston, founder of the Honolulu Advertiser, found the cave in 1913, the roof reportedly was covered with stalactites—it is said that rapacious tourists removed every one in the intervening years.

 | Halema'uma'u: Kilauea's New Show Produced by Donald B. MacGowan; videography by Frank Burgess and Donnie MacGowan; original musical score by Donnie MacGowan. Aloha! I'm Donnie MacGowan, I live on the Big Island of Hawaii where, as luck would have it, we have a number of active and dormant volcanoes. Right now, even as we speak, our Kilauea Volcano, the world's most active volcano, is erupting in two places simultaneously...if you love volcanoes as much as I do, you know that's pretty sweet. In the past few years I've made several videos of the eruptions from Pu'u O'o and vents further down the Southeast Rift zone, of lava flowing down the pali and entering the ocean, most recently at Waikupanaha. But today I'd like to take you to the other eruption, the one at the summit of Kilauea within the Halema'uma'u crater. It's amazing, captivating, awesome. It's as if the door to the Goddess Pele's home had been left ajar... Unlike the fountaining littoral explosions down at Waikupanaha, the eruptive vent at the summit of Kilauea Volcano appears quieter but is certainly no less spectacular. Earlier this August when lava stopped flowing into the ocean in Puna, disappointed tourists were dismayed that this eruption might be their only chance of seeing a live volcano, figuring it might be pretty tame and passive. Ho-ho! Come the night time, Madame Pele puts on a show in her own home that is entrancing, beautiful and inspiring. The eruption at Halema'uma'u may be second best to seeing lava flow into the ocean, but it's a very, very close second. If this is the only volcanic eruption you ever get to witness in person, it's a fully awesome, amazingly powerful and spiritual experience. The eruption consists of a huge, roiling plume of gas, steam and ash issuing from hole exploded out of the base of the southeast wall of the crater. The hole and the plume glow wickedly in the dark like the portal to Hades itself. Earlier in the spring, this vent on Halema'uma'u ejected a great deal of rocks and dust, as if clearing its throat; some bombs and spatter apparently were molten or near-molten at the time of their eruption. Currently, Kilauea is erupting huge amounts of sulfur dioxide and water vapor with very small amounts of ash, prompting the Park Service to close the south part of Kīlauea caldera and Crater Rim Drive to the public and issue occasional air quality alerts for areas adjacent to Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park. Current eruption updates are available by calling the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Information Hotline at 808.985.6000. According to recent information from the U.S Geological Survey, the fact that the composition of the gases from Pu`u `Ō `ō and Halema`uma`u appear quite similar may indicate that lava throughout Kīlauea has been recently recharged with new magma from depth. Further, the USGS suggests that the decrease in hot solid material ejecta concomitant with the steady summit gas emissions may indicate either that magma is receding or that the plumbing and conduits of the vent have become choked off from the surface. This could be due to a mix of rock debris, spatter and ash accumulating in the vent. Molten rock seems to lie just a few hundred feet below the surface of Halema'uma'u crater; however, if the molten rock is in fact retreating, the pool left behind will rapidly cool to a semi-plastic plug. If the vent plug cools for a substantial amount of time, summit activity will eventually die out and life around Halema'uma'u crater will return to its inter-eruptive, "normal" state. Until the next time fresh, hot magma rises into the volcano, that is. Man...I could watch this all day, couldn't you? This is Donnie MacGowan sending you a warm aloha from the slopes of Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii...
