Beyond Belief

The book I read to research this post was Beyond Belief which is a very good book which I bought from a car boot sale. This book is about strange phenomenon from yeti's and almas to the legendary island of Mu to alien beings visiting the Earth. Almas are similar to the yeti but are more like prehistoric man although are covered in hair and live in the Caucasasus Mountains in the Russian republics. Mu is a legendary island that was in the Pacific and was similar to Atlantis in that they were an advanced race that died out in a cataclysmic event and gradually disappeared under the ocean. There was also reputed to be a land of Lemuria but the documents to this land that was meant to be in the Indian Ocean were mistranslated and reputedly were about astrology. Nevertheless some influential people like the psychic Madame Blavatsky have argued it existed and have even written books about. There seems less evidence for the existence of Lemuria than either Mu or Atlantis. An interesting phenomenon in the book is USO's which are unidentified submarine objects and some of these can fly as well as go underwater. Quite a lot of government agencies around are interested in this phenomenon and take it quite seriously. People have seen craft travelling at high speed just under the water and producing a wave as it goes. Many of these are people like sailors and are unable to identify these craft and some people have seen strange alien creatures coming out of these craft. There have also been occasions where people have seen UFO's land and been attacked by the beings. One person even died the next day. I did really enjoy this book which is written by a team of writers and an editor. It presents a lot of unusual phenomenon a lot of people haven't heard of.
