Welcome to the World of Terry Tumbler

Do any of you share stories of blackouts in the 1960s? This was when they were widespread, and one was even used in the TV program Heartbeat.    Well, I had my own encounter at the age of 12 in the village where I lived called Dunvant, outside Swansea, South Wales. This was in 1956. One evening, in the dark, cold winter months when we Boy Scouts played team games in the village hall, the village suffered a blackout. A number of us were returning home.   We lived on the other side of the village up a steep hill, at the foot of which was a railway bridge. A few of us carried torches. Most were met by their caring parents; while mine stayed at home, normally ensconced in front of the telly, and would hardly notice me when I went indoors. We talked loudly as we went up the hill, and stopped for me to cross to the other side of the road for the long walk home along the bumpy lane, carrying my torch. Before leaving the others, I turned round to say goodbye when I...

This creature has been seen flying in the Yosemite natural park, and others.  People have died and their bodies recovered in the most unusual places. It seems that their clothes made them slip from its talons. The head is central, tilted to one side. A DERIVATIVE THEREOF? By Megan Shersby published March 2, 2024 Shoebills reach up to 5 feet in height and they are formidable ambush predators, standing still in swamps before lunging forward to swallow their prey whole with their giant bills. Although sometimes incorrectly referred to as a stork, the shoebill is actually the only member of the Balaeniceps genus and the wider family Balaenicipitidae. Why it's awesome: This menacing and prehistoric-looking bird can grow up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall – and is equipped with a sharp-edged, 1-foot-long (0.3 meter) bill — the third-largest bird beak in the world.  Its giant bill and long, skinny legs make it a formidable ambush predator —standing completely still before lunging fo...

  Last month, Lockheed Martin and NASA jointly revealed the X-59 experimental aircraft , which is expected to fly at 1.4 times the speed of sound (925mph) without generating an explosive sonic boom. The sleek jet is expected to play an instrumental role in bringing back supersonic commercial air travel. But what if I tell you that researchers are working on a submarine that could travel more than three times faster than the X-59 jet? Yes, you read that right, and it is possible to travel at those speeds underwater, at least theoretically. Back in 2016, a team of researchers at Penn State Applied Research Laboratory funded by the US Navy started the development work on a revolutionary submarine that can attain supersonic speeds. Obviously, the biggest problem for vessels reaching high speeds both on the surface of water or below it is the huge amount of drag created while moving through it. But there’s a simple solution to overcome drag underwater – a bubble. The researchers are wor...

Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, Lord of Roslin ( c.  1345 – c.  1400 ) was of Scottish nobility . Sinclair held the title Earl of Orkney (which refers to Norðreyjar rather than just the islands of Orkney) and was Lord High Admiral of Scotland under the King of Scotland . He was sometimes identified by another spelling of his surname, St. Clair . He was the grandfather of William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness , the builder of Rosslyn Chapel . He is best known today because of a modern legend that he took part in explorations of Greenland and North America almost 100 years before Christopher Columbus . What the authors of this modern myth don’t know is that a unique tower has been preserved in Newport, Rhode Island.  It is in exactly the same style and method of construction as that used in Rosslyn. Secondly, on the shoreline of the nearby sea has been found a stone, declaring it as being ‘owned’ by the Knights Templar, to which order he belonged. It was preserved in mud, and w...

I should add buildings as well, since some aspects of the techniques used range from Egypt to South America. The first is rock softening. Rock Softening Hiram Bingham roamed South America in the early 1900s and is credited with rediscovering Machu Picchu in 1911. He relates the following: The modern Peruvians are very fond of speculating as to the method which the Incas employed to make their stones fit so perfectly. One of the favourite stories is that the predecessors to the Incas knew of a plant whose juices rendered the surface of a block so soft that the marvellous fitting was accomplished by rubbing the stones together for a few moments with this magical plant juice! By the time the Incas came along, they had to use much smaller stones (as seen in the background). The original methods had been forgotten.

Unearthed 'alien bodies' in Mexico are real - and retired expert claims he has proof. In our exclusive interview with Cliff Miles, the so-called "Mexican alien bodies" have been revealed to be the real deal. By BERNADETTE GIACOMAZZO Daily Express 00:54, Sat, Sep 30, 2023 | UPDATED: 08:38, Sat, Sep 30, 2023 A so-called "alien autopsy" was conducted earlier this month on the bodies of non-human lifeforms found in Peru. The bodies, which were first unearthed in 2017 in a cave in Cusco, Peru, were found to have "no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls," leading experts to believe that the remains were, indeed, those of extraterrestrial life forms . While this discovery was shocking to the millions of viewers who tuned in, it wasn't shocking to Cliff Miles, a retired palaeontologist based in Orem, Utah . Miles has been studying the aliens long before they were publicly autopsied, and his Miles Paper proves that they we...
