“WE ARE ALREADY HERE, AMONG YOU”“Some of us have always been here, with you.“Now, however, our numbers have been increased in preparation for a further step in the development of your planet: a step of which you are not yet aware…“We have been mistaken for the gods of many world religions, although we are not gods but your fellow men—as you will learn soon…ˮ In this fascinating report, an acknowledged expert brings forth an astounding new theory on outer space that explains the inexplicable.Throughout recorded time, beings from other planets with super-human powers—mistaken for gods—have guided men on earth through critical periods in history. Now the earth is about to undergo another period of crisis. The warnings are here and so are THE SKY PEOPLE!” – scribd.com
“William Francis Brinsley Le Poer Trench, 8th Earl of Clancarty, 7th Marquess of Heusden (18 September 1911 – 18 May 1995) was a prominent ufologist. He was an Irish peer, as well as a nobleman in the Dutch nobility.
“He was the fifth son of William Frederick Le Poer Trench, 5th Earl of Clancarty by Mary Gwatkin Ellis. He had four older half-brothers born to the 5th Earl’s first wife, Isabel Maud Penrice Bilton, the actress known as Belle Bilton, who died of cancer in 1906. Brinsley was educated at the Pangbourne Nautical College.
“From 1956 to 1959 Clancarty edited the Flying Saucer Review and founded the International Unidentified Object Observer Corps. He also found employment selling advertising space for a gardening magazine housed opposite Waterloo station.
“In 1967, he founded Contact International and served as its first president. He also served as vice-president of the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). Clancarty was an honorary life member of the now defunct Ancient Astronauts Society which supported the ideas put forward by Erich von Däniken in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods?.
“In 1975 he succeeded to the earldom on the death of his half-brother, Grenville Sydney Rocheforte, 7th Earl of Clancarty, giving him a seat in the British Parliament. He used his new position to found a UFO Study Group at the House of Lords, introducing Flying Saucer Review to its library and pushing for the declassification of UFO data.
“Four years later he organized a celebrated debate in the House of Lords on UFOs which attracted many speeches on both sides of the question. In one debate, Lord Strabolgi, for the Government, declared that there was nothing to convince him that any alien spacecraft had ever visited the Earth.” – Wikipedia
