Project Briefing and Background

The WingMakers and Time Travel

NSA Investigation Site in the Canyon There were, however, two very puzzling
questions. All but one of the artifacts could be dated to the 8th century AD. The
exception, known as the "compass" artifact, appeared to be an unusual form of
technology, and was found among more typical artifacts like pottery and simple
tools. The compass was covered in strange hieroglyphic symbols, some of which were
also found on the pottery. Secondly, the pictographs that were found in the area
had inexplicably appeared, and they were strikingly different than any of the other
native petroglyphs or rock art found in the southwest or the entire continent for
that matter.

Because of these two anomalies, the artifacts and the entire project quickly became
the property of the US government, or more specifically, the National Security
Agency. It was decided that these artifacts might suggest a pre-historical,
extraterrestrial presence on earth, and that the NSA had the appropriate agenda and
wherewithal to initiate a full-scale, scientific expedition to determine the nature
and significance of the site.

The site was completely searched by a secret department of the NSA in 1973, but it
only resulted in a few additional findings, and none of them were designated as
technologies or evidence of an extraterrestrial presence. Additional pictographic
symbols were found, but decoding them was a difficult and frustrating process.
Experts were called in to help, but it was impossible to reach a consensus as to
what the pictographs meant. As quickly as the project had risen as a priority
investigation, it fell into the archives of the NSA under the code name, Ancient
Arrow.

Twenty-one years later, in 1994, a series of rockslides opened up a section of the

Ancient Arrow site. The canyon was in a naturally obscure section of park land held
by the state of New Mexico. After its discovery in 1972, it had been officially
sanctioned off-limits to hikers and campers and was to be left in its natural
state. From time-to-time, scientists -- sponsored by the NSA -- would visit the
site hoping to uncover new evidence, but were invariably disappointed.

Time Travel in Ancient Arrow Canyon

Entrance to a Hidden Cavern Shortly after the rockslide occurrence, a small team of
operatives from the NSA visited Ancient Arrow canyon to do some follow-up research.
They discovered the rockslide had exposed an entrance to a hidden cavern that led
deep within the canyon walls.

At the back of this cavern, the research team discovered a well-hidden entrance
into the interior of the canyon wall or rock structure of the Ancient Arrow site.
There they found a system of tunnels and chambers that had been carved out from
solid rock. There were a total of 23 chambers, all intricately connected to an
interior corridor, and each chamber held a specific wall painting, series of
pictographs, written hieroglyphs, and what seemed to be dormant, alien
technologies.

Entrance to Time Travel Technology

Entering the Technology Site Once this entrance to the cavern was found, a report
was immediately filed with the Director responsible for the Ancient Arrow project.
The project was then formally brought under the jurisdiction of the Advanced
Contact Intelligence Organization (ACIO), which organized an inter-disciplinary
research team to assess the exact nature of the site and attempt to discover
additional artifacts or evidence of an extraterrestrial visitation.

The ACIO is a secret or unacknowledged department of the NSA. It is headquartered

in Virginia, but also have personnel in Belgium, India, and Indonesia. They are
largely unknown, even to senior directors within the NSA. The ACIO is the lowest
profile organization within the entire intelligence community. Its agenda is to
research, assimilate, and replicate any technologies or discoveries of
extraterrestrial origin. Its personnel consist mainly of scientists who are
completely anonymous, yet are paid salaries in excess of $400,000 per year because
of their security clearance and IQ. This secret organization not only possesses
enormous brain power, but it is also in possession of technologies that are far in
advance of any other research facility on the planet. They are, in a word,
privileged.

The artifacts found at the Ancient Arrow site were virtually incomprehensible to
the research team. There were many mysteries. Why would an advanced culture leave
their artifacts in such a precise and seemingly ordered manner? What was the
message they were trying to leave behind? What were their technologies and why did
they leave them behind? Did the creators of this site intermingle with the native
tribes or remain an isolated culture? Who were they and why were they here in the
8th century? Were they planning to return? These were only some of the mysteries
that challenged the research team.

Throughout the seven months of restoration, cataloguing, and analysis, the Ancient
Arrow project was a complete enigma. More of the energy went into the safe
preservation of the artifacts, rather than attempting to solve the puzzle of their
existence, though speculations were a topic of every conversation. Gradually, a
hypothesis was structured by the research team that an extraterrestrial culture
established an earth colony in the 8th century and isolated itself within the
Ancient Arrow canyon. They brought with them a very precise mission to leave behind
a massive "time capsule" that would prove to be discovered in the late 20th
century. While the exact nature of the time capsule was unclear to the research
team, it seemed probable that it was a cultural exchange of some kind and had no
invasive intent to earth or its people.

It took a team of researchers nearly two years after the restoration was completed
to decipher a partial meaning of the chamber artifacts. The 23 separate chambers
seemed to be linked together to form some specific message or purposeful mission.
In the 23rd and final chamber, they recovered a small optical disc that was
presumed to hold digital information that could be the key to deciphering the
artifacts. Scientists eagerly analyzed the disc, but they could not figure out how
to access its content.

The ACIO's finest computer experts were called in to try and unlock the encoded
disc, but to no avail. Several more months were spent trying every conceivable
method to access the contents of the disc, but nothing worked. The Ancient Arrow
project, for the first time in nearly a year, had hit a dead-end and funding for
the project was rapidly weaned by the ACIO.

After two more months of unsuccessful efforts, it was decided that the technology
to access the disc was simply not available. The optical disc and all of the
artifacts and findings would be carefully placed in secure storage until the
technologies were available to unlock the disc and harvest its content. It was
presumed that the disc held star charts, translation indexes, glossaries, and all
the answers to the various mysteries of its creators and, perhaps more importantly,
their intentions for earth.

Ancient Artifacts inside the Time Machine Cavern

Ancient Artifacts Inside the
Time Machine Cavern While the optical disc was considered to be the key to
unlocking the meaning of the time capsule, the ACIO had little choice, but to place
the project into storage and await the arrival of technologies that would permit
them to unlock the disc. However, there were two scientists from the research team
who theorized that the disc could be unlocked by understanding the meaning of the
wall paintings in each of the 23 chambers. In their minds it was not a complex,
technological solution, but rather a language or translation solution that would
unlock the disc.

After much persuasion, the ACIO agreed to allow the two researchers to assemble a
replica of the time capsule's contents. The replica time capsule consisted of
detailed drawings and photographs of all the artifacts from each of the 23
chambers, including detailed, high-resolution photographs of the wall paintings.
The two scientists would be allowed to continue their research on their own time
provided they maintained utmost secrecy and reported all of their findings directly
to the ACIO division head and project director.

The optical disc was securely stored away in a vault within the ACIO. The project
was officially put on indefinite hold, and all personnel associated with the
project were reassigned (with promotions) to different projects. The Ancient Arrow
project was not to be spoken of again until which time the technologies or some
other means provided a way to unlock the optical disc and access its contents.

The scientists spent nearly five months in partnership, trying unsuccessfully to

decode the Ancient Arrow artifacts and establish the means to unlock the optical
disc. During this time, the ACIO regularly experimented with new technologies or
methods, and they too, were unsuccessful in unlocking the content of the optical
disc.

One day, late in the summer of 1996, one of the scientists (a linguistics expert)
had an insight into how to unlock the optical disc by reducing the symbols of the
wall paintings to their closest facsimile found in an ancient Sumerian text. While
the Sumerian language is extinct, it was sufficiently comprehensible to this
scientist that he was able to decode the symbols of the paintings, and, placing the
23 words in the same order as the Ancient Arrow chambers, he was able to finally
unlock the optical disc.

The connection between the Sumerian language and the time capsule was the
breakthrough the ACIO team had been waiting for. A simple set of 23 words elicited
over 8,000 pages of data from the optical disc. Unfortunately, the data was
incomprehensible because there was no character set in the computer that could
emulate the hieroglyphics and unusual symbols of the language. Thus, a translation
index needed to be developed, which took an additional six months.

Finally, once a translation index was programmed into the computer, the data, while
it could be printed out or viewed on the monitor in its hieroglyphic form, still
required translation to English. And this translation process was extremely tedious
and could not be facilitated through computers, owing to the subtlety of the
language and its intricate connection to the wall paintings and pictographic
representations elsewhere within the Ancient Arrow site.

As partial translations began to be developed, it was determined that even within

the optical disc there was a segmentation of the data into 23 units. Each unit
appeared to correspond to a specific chamber. As the first two chambers began to be
translated, it was further shown that each unit contained philosophical and
scientific papers, poetry, music, and an introduction to the culture and identity
of its creators.

The creators of the time capsule referred to themselves as WingMakers. They

represented a future version of humanity who lived some 750 years in our future.
They claimed to be culture bearers, or ones that bring the seeds of art, science,
and philosophy to humanity. They had left behind a total of seven time capsules in
various parts of the world to be discovered according to a well-orchestrated plan.
Their apparent goal was to help the next several generations of humans develop a
global culture; a unified system of philosophy, science, and art.

In early 1997, the ACIO scientist who had originally discovered the access code for
the optical disc became strangely sympathetic with the WingMakers' mission. He was
convinced that the ACIO would never share the discovery with the public, and he was
certain that it was too significant to withhold. He also claimed that he was in
communication with the WingMakers and that they were watching the ACIO's progress
and would, at the appropriate time, make the time capsule and its contents
available to the public.

This assertion troubled the ACIO and particularly the Ancient Arrow project
director, who eventually recommended a leave of absence for the scientist and was
summarily dispatched from the project. The scientist was afraid that his memories
would be tampered with or destroyed altogether, and so he defected from the ACIO,
quite literally the first to ever do so.

Soon after his defection, the scientist disappeared. However, before his
disappearance, some of his materials regarding the WingMakers and their time
capsule were given to a journalist that he had selected at random.

The author of this document is that journalist. I am in possession of photographs,

music, poetry, artwork, translation indexes, copies of secret documents, and a
variety of translated philosophical texts that all stem from the Ancient Arrow
project. I've taken every precaution to remain anonymous so I can't be traced. I'm
convinced that these materials are released against the wishes of a secret
organization that probably has powers that even our government is unaware of.

Before the ACIO scientist had contacted me, (whom I will hereafter refer to as Dr.
Anderson), I felt little or no interest in matters related to time-travel,
extraterrestrials, secret organizations, or anything else similar to these issues.
When I initially heard the story it seemed preposterous, but I kept my journalistic
objectivity, and met with Dr. Anderson and reluctantly concluded that it would be
unlikely for an individual to fabricate this story with such detail and supporting
evidence, and then desire to remain anonymous.

Dr. Anderson had brought files of photographs and drawings of odd-looking

technologies that had strange symbols engraved on their outer casings. Research
reports referencing the translation tables, cipher protocols, star charts, and
dozens of memos from the ACIO department heads discussing the Ancient Arrow
project. Everything, including about 400 pages of philosophical text had an
authenticity to it that I was unable to reproach or ignore.

In fairness to those who will suggest I should investigate further in order to get
independent corroboration before I present these materials, let me just say, that
I'm unable to corroborate his story because of the very nature of the ACIO.
However, for whatever reason, I trust Dr. Anderson who gave me these materials. He
asked nothing from me. He desired no money or recognition. His only request was
that I decide how best to bring these materials to the public. He counseled me not
to investigate the ACIO because he was convinced the NSA would use misinformation
tactics that would simply waste my time and make the goal of releasing these
materials difficult if not impossible.

I've not contacted any other office of the government because Dr. Anderson told me
that this would be traced by the ACIO who had high-level operatives in both the NSA
and CIA, and, at best, would only invite misinformation tactics from one or both.
I'm in possession of certain documents that I'll withhold from the WingMakers' web
site, but if anything were to happen to me, I've arranged to have these documents
shared with major media companies whom I know. These are my only safeguards in
presenting these materials.

My only interest is in the release of these materials to the public, and then they
can decide what to do about them. They may desire to pressure their politicians or
take other action, it's their choice. I'm convinced that this story is too
important to be held in the hands of an elite organization whose only interest is
to re-engineer the technologies found in the Ancient Arrow site and apply them for
their own agenda; no matter how noble that agenda may be.

Let me be clear, these documents provide incontrovertible evidence of this secret

organization known as the ACIO, and its elite directors are named and their real
identities exposed.

I've spent the last several months agonizing about how these materials should be
presented, and it seemed most appropriate to place them on the Internet to enable a
global audience to access them. I have a close friend who created this web site
whom I trust completely. Other than that, no one knows what I have done here
(including my web site host).

You might ask why I've chosen to reserve full-scale media disclosure of the
materials given to me by Dr. Anderson. I can only tell you that I don't want to
create a circus atmosphere surrounding this discovery. It may ultimately end-up in
the mass media, but for now, my instincts are to keep a low profile for both these
materials and myself. In doing so, I hope to preserve some sense of the dignity of
these artifacts and let it grow from there.

I've never been involved in any story approaching this magnitude of importance, and
I'm certain that if you spend some time on this web site and suspend your
disbelief, even for a few minutes, you will see how important a discovery this time
capsule is. The best way you can help is to spread the word about this discovery,
and open the eyes of your political representatives. If you have web sites of your
own, please link to the WingMakers' site.

Dr. Anderson had warned me that the ACIO has an advanced version of a technology
based on what he called remote viewing. As I understand it, remote viewing is the
ability to ascertain the whereabouts of people through some sort of "psychic
insight" by someone trained in this technology. I know this sounds far-fetched, but
Dr. Anderson was insistent that they had this capability and that it was one of
their most feared technologies by those within the ACIO. In effect, it was known to
keep their personnel loyal. Unfortunately, this will force me to stay underground
and remain very mobile over the next several months.

Believe me, I know that this whole story may seem impossible, but I can only tell
you that I've seen detailed drawings and photographs of the artifacts taken from
the Ancient Arrow site, and these are most assuredly, to my eyes, not of this time
or world. They're unlike anything I've ever seen. Either the WingMakers are real,
or someone has gone to a lot of trouble to convince me otherwise and again, I'm a
simple journalist without any ax to grind relative to secret government operations,
ETs, time travel, or alien artifacts.

I'm not here to convert anyone. There is nothing to convert to. I simply want to
disclose this material and let each individual absorb it as they choose. I will add
additional documents and artifacts from the Ancient Arrow site when I feel it is
safe to do so, but for now, there's enough material on this site to introduce
anyone to the culture of the WingMakers.

I hope you take the time to immerse yourself in these materials. If you do, you may
be surprised at the result.
