Photographic Proof of Huge Invisible Protozoa
Some of the scientific discoveries which have had the most impact on our society since the Enlightenment were part of a larger corpus of work that has since been cast aside. For example, Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated a mathematically quantified account of gravitation and elaborated the calculus, was a practicing alchemist and a Biblical fundamentalist. Likewise, Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough contains a vast archive of information about magic rituals throughout the world still used by anthropologists, who reject, however, its major hypothesis that belief in magic precedes religious faith, which in turn gives way to empirical methodology. Trevor James Constable is a thinker like these: he discovered something amazing and new about our world, and yet chose to present it to the public in a format which guarantees its dismissal. Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Horror of the Heights," the writings of Charles Fort, and perhaps H.P. Lovecraft's "From Beyond," Constable postulated that we share our world with huge invisible creatures related to the protozoa. The sky overhead is filled with these beings, who may have some intelligence, and are sensitive to radar and radio waves. Some of them are perhaps carnivorous, and responsible for the spate of cattle mutilations which has become such a problem in the past half-century. Constable's discovery of these creatures makes him the equal of Anton van Leeuwenhoek, inventor of the first microscope, and discover of another invisible world which exists outside the reach of our unaided vision. Just as Leeuwenhoek had his microscope, so too did Constable have his camera, fitted with black lens filter and loaded with infrared film, with which he took photographs of a seemingly empty sky. When developed, the pictures showed organisms nearly identical to the amebae, euglenae, and paramecia which exist all around us, but with the difference that Constable's critters were vastly larger, like invisible whales and sharks of the atmosphere. These creatures are perhaps responsible for some of the sightings of UFOs throughout the ages. Through his application of technology, Constable had made visible a new world with strange new creatures in it, which had previously remained unknown to us. Unfortunately, Constable chose to present this bold new discovery in the form of a challenge to established science and government, instead of attempting to incorporate it into the scientific mainstream, where it belongs. His hostility would be understandable if he could have proven that the government knew that these creatures exist and had been hiding this fact from us, or that the critters were somehow involved in humanity's spiritual evolution, and if he didn't waste time postulating that President Nixon's downfall had been the product of manipulation by psychic forces whose objectives were the destruction of America. Some or all of these things are possibly true, but he makes no effort to prove any of them, and all of them are secondary to the discovery of these creatures and the publication of actual photographs of them. Only the film Overlords of the UFOs offers better proof of these creatures' existence (it has footage he himself shot). The discovery itself would be sufficient cause for celebration, but the book also includes an account of the psychologist Wilhelm Reich's battle with these creatures at Orgonon, his estate in Maine. As anthropologist Andrew Gaze points out elsewhere, this tale is Lovecraftian in its power. The inclusion of this account increases the value of the book, but ultimately the framework undermines the author's purported intention, to present to the world a group of creatures as amazing as anything cryptozoologists could ever hope to discover, and which may this very moment be all around us, without our even being able to see them. |
