Astronomy and Geology: Consider reading our Genesis 1 concerning the creation of our Solar System with all its planets, dwarf planets, moons or satellites, comets, meteoroids, and asteroids and see the article below.
A Sample of a Recent Mini-Dwarf Planet or Spherical Meteorite Found one summer in about A. D. 2000 at Camperville, Manitoba, Canada. It is the size of a beach ball of about 15 inches/38 cm. in diameter and has a weight of about 162 pounds/101 kg. This photo was taken April 24, 2004 by Cliff Besson This mini-dwarf planet is simply a spherical rock meteorite. Until this spherical rock was seen flying through the sky by three or more people plus many of the dogs in the area and landing in a field, the experts on spherical rocks had no sensible reason for their existence or explanation for their origins. They called these near perfect spherical rocks concretions because they were rocks that were hard like concrete. This rock meteorite was found in a field within twenty-four hours after a Ronald Chartrand told his friends about seeing it falling out of the sky into a field in Camperville, Manitoba. The man that found it, found it in the field just across the road where he grew up and were his mother was living and may be still living at this moment. Constable Paul Sutherland, who found it, knew that it was never there before, because he played and hunted in that field for years, since he was a child. In other words, it is not an Indian artifact as Paul Sutherland is an aboriginal himself. There is another one, almost exactly the same size that was found a year or so earlier by a landscape contractor on the Pine Creek First Nations land, across the road from that same field, but a few miles away.
Many so-called concretions, mini-dwarf planets, or spherical rocks have been found throughout the Earth but astronomers and geologists have been indoctrinated so much by their professions that it is very hard to convince them of the real origin of their concretions.
Most professionals are proud of their realm of expertise and knowledge, which they gained through attending numerous hours of lectures and studying many text books on subjects in their profession. The trouble is though, they often believe everything they are told, like many people of pagan religions and of religions of America and of Canada. These above mentioned professionals appear to have a like religious faith concerning everything their professors or instructors have told them, believing everything to be the whole truth when some or even much of the information they were told were just unsubstantiated guess work.
It could be that some may want to believe that the spherical rock concretions are really meteorites but they would likely be fearful of being ridiculed by their peers or fellow professionals. These so-called experts have such a religious faith over the accuracy of their profession that it might take one or more of these spherical-rock mini-dwarf planetary meteorites to fall through the roof of one of their universities or into one of their yards, in the site of many people to get them to finally realize the origin of these spherical concretions.
If necessary, I pray that one will do so shortly.
Just last month in September 2007, one professional truck driver of about thirty years driving, saw for the first time, a round spherical like object flying past his truck into a wooded area off to the side of the highway. It was going in the same general direction that he was going, east or south-east towards Thunderbay, Ontario. It had a white tail of possibly thirty feet long and the object seemed to be about a foot and a half in diameter, like the one pictured above. It was night time and the driver was on the job so he could not stop to try to find it.
If he did look for it and found it, would it not be still in a spherical shape as he saw it flying through the air unless it exploded before impact or upon impact with a rock?
A few years ago, in 2004, about twenty people saw a similar flying object pass over their heads. It appeared to be of similar size but it only had a tail of about three feet long. It also seemed to be flying about thirty feet above their heads and may have landed in one of the many forests in that area near Camperville, Manitoba, Canada.
Now if one or more of these people found that same object after it had landed, what would it look like? Would it not be spherical in shape as they saw it flying in the sky?

Solar Big Bang:
When?
or
Determining the Possible Mutual Origin of Ten
Comets, Meteorites, and Spherical Rocks
Introduction to this Whole Book
This whole book is on
determining precisely when there could have been a solar big bang strong enough
that could have brought about all the meteorites, spherical rocks, and ten
comets that are flying around in our solar system.
First of all, let us consider that
there are many theories as to the origin of comets, meteorites, meteors,
asteroids, and other objects or bodies that make up our Solar system. This
author though has not been satisfied at all with the regular explanations given
about them, especially on the make up of comets “as dirty snowballs.” Nor does
he agree on the prevailing theories on the origin of meteorites, and of
numerous spherical rocks that have been found around the world. He therefore read
much about them and tried to make some sense of everything pertaining to them
and this world that we are living in and especially the wonders of the seeable
universe about us.
With some help and much
thought, the author came up with a theory on the mutual origins of comets and
of spherical rocks.
As a supplement to this
paper, an earlier work on the origin of spherical rocks is also included to
help prove the mutual origin of smaller rocks and ten comets.
Please examine the
spreadsheet work to see how he determined the origin of comets and of spherical
rocks and to find out the amazing results.
Clifford Besson
Chapter One:
The Reason, the Theory, and the Method
This author has been
interested in astronomy from the time he was a teenager, which was more than
fifty years ago. During these many years, he has wondered and studied about the
makings of our solar system, of comets, and of meteorites.
Because of the news
media interest in comets around 2002, this researcher therefore returned to his
teenage interest and love of astronomy.
Shortly after this renewed interest, while
talking to friends in Camperville, Manitoba, Canada, about comets and meteorites,
they mentioned that two rocks, about the size of beach balls were found in
their area during the previous few years. Shortly after that, this writer
located, viewed, weighed, measured, and tested the rocks for iron or nickel
content with a compass. Later on, they were also analysed by staff at the
Universities of Brandon and of Winnipeg in Manitoba.
This writer also tried
to get one or more astronomers of the University of Manitoba to check out these
spherical space rocks but they refused to believe that they were actually rocks
that had fallen out of the sky.
They would not listen
to reason, just like religious people that this writer has dealt with. People
of religious faith are often very dogmatic and appear to feel insulted that one
should question their beliefs. They seem to be thinking:
Are you trying to tell me that I am ignorant and gullible while you are
smart? The nerve of you to say that. Whom do you think you are? Are you also
saying that my parents and forefathers and all my friends at church are also
ignorant and gullible, believing lies? You yourself are the stupid, naive, and
crazy one. Look, thousands of our preachers and even millions of people in my
religious denomination cannot all be wrong, so you Mr. Besson must be wrong.
This is called blind faith:
Blind: 4. not having or based on reason or intelligence;
absolute and unquestioning: She had blind faith in his fidelity.[1]
As it is with religious people
described above, most people in some of the sciences and arts just parrot words
off what they learned from their past
teachers, professors, and text books had taught them, not questioning those
beliefs, philosophies, or theories.
When this writer took
his ideas to three universities concerning comets and meteorites, he found that
their beliefs were quite different from what this writer was finding out in the
field of investigation of eye witnesses.
A booklet was prepared
on the rocks that he was informed about
and got to see but it is now out of print and is in need of revision. There was
an error or two plus he needed to list more names of people who saw the most
recent one falling out of the sky.
So with this stirred up
interest in astronomy and geology, more spherical objects were soon pointed out
to him. These were noted to have been found by others and then examined by this
researcher. On trying to understand the nature of these found objects and their
formation or origins plus that of comets, a theory was developed as to how they
all may have come about.
He then worked out a
way to try to prove his theory that comets came originally from a massive
explosion on the Sun. This paper therefore sets out to do this very thing by
going back in time to when a number of comets all seemed to have been at our
Sun at the same time.
He first matched up
comets of similar Astronomical Units (AU)[2]
when they were at their perihelion or closest part of their orbits to the Sun.
Secondly, he then
worked out the time periods of as many matched up comets as he could find. At
that time it was only ten. This was in about the year 2002.
Thirdly, he then
experimented first on graph paper, yards (or metres) long, to try to determine
when and if the ten comets were ever all together at the Sun.
Fourthly, on using a
computer spreadsheet program he came up with some amazing results using these
comets (shortest periods to longest along with their AUs): Halley (last seen in
1986) @0.59, Ikeya-Seki (1965) @0.006, Great January of 1910 @0.11, Great Comet
of 1901 @0.25, Bennett (1970) @0.52, Great Comet of 1861 @0.82, Coggia (1874)
@0.67, West (1976) @0.20, Hyakutake (1996) @0.21, Hale-Bopp (1996) @0.92.
It was realized during this study
that the length of the above orbits depended on the mass, weight, and the area of
the massive explosion that the comets were in, when the explosion occurred.
After the explosion occurred, the very strong gravity of our Sun tried to pull
them all back into its control and its huge hot mass of liquid rock of minerals
and every element that can be found in all the meteorites that land on our
planet Earth. The comet Halley got away for
out 76.7230080585249/2
years which = 38.36150402926245 years. This was worked out with the strong
gravity of our Sun tried to pull them all back into its control and its huge
hot mass of liquid rock of minerals and every element that can be found in all
the meteorites that land on our planet Earth. The comet Halley got away for
about 76.7230080585249/2 years which = 38.36150402926245 years. This was worked
out with the consideration of twenty-seven (27) of its orbits, going back to
records of its passages in time to 2071.5212175801723 years before February 9,
1986 in 87 BC on August 6.
Please see the end
section which has a spreadsheet program that shows how this was done.
On working out his
theory, that most, if not all found spherical rocks and present day comets came from a super
explosion on our Sun, thousands or more years ago, he examined and studied the
article: Great Comets in History by Donald K. Yeomans[3]
of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. A number
of other records of comets were also studied to see if there were any
indications of the periods of their orbits (such as the length of time it takes
to come back to its same point in its orbit around the Sun, such as its closest
point to the Sun, its perihelion). In other words, he wanted to see if the same
comets that were just seen lately were also seen before. For example, the famous Comet
Halley, according to Yeoman’s article had perihelions of 0.58 or 0.59 AU (the mean or average distance that the Earth[4]
travels about the Sun). In 1986 though, its orbit was worked out more precisely
to about 0.587 AU.
So in any ancient
records of comets being at a similar distance from the Sun, at their closest
part of their orbit before they zoom out, like a boomerang or yoyo into space again, may be that same Comet
Halley. So it should be with other comets mentioned in Yeoman’s history.
Therefore, on searching
through Yeomans’ list of comets, ten pairs of similar perihelions were figured
out and noted but there were six comets that could not be matched up. We have
listed them as well in our spreadsheet program, in case the periods of their
orbits could be worked out later on.
To then test out the
theory that all our present comets and meteorites were once part of the Sun and
came from an explosion on the Sun, the periods of each of the ten comets were
then worked out back in time to hundreds of years before Bishop Ussher’s estimated
year for the Biblical creation of Adam and Eve, that of 4004 B. C.
Since the above
calculations were made an eleventh comet and its period of its orbit has also
been worked out. This one though, will be considered in a future publication.
As almost all the
elements found on Earth have also been found to be in the Sun, through the
analysis of Sun light (67 of them), what we find on Earth could have come from
the Sun or from the same material from which came the Sun. So please consider
the following pages as possible proof of the real origins of the listed comets.
On considering any
explosion strong enough to eject those ten comets millions of miles/kilometres
into space, then most likely our presently found meteorites and spherical rocks
were also expelled at the same time as the comets.

An Introduction to this Supplement
Throughout
the world, many spherical or globular rocks have been found but geologists have
not been able to agree on how they may have been formed or how they originated.
Well, a few years ago, one meteorite was said to have been seen falling from
the sky into a field in a forested area on the outskirts of Camperville,
Manitoba. This writer on talking to people about four or five years after it
fell out of the sky, was told that this rock in the above picture was seen
falling down into Camperville at about four a. m. while others said it occurred
sometime after dark on the night before it was found. Another meteorite was
seen slowly flying across the sky by a number of people, south of the same
village but was not found because of the forests all around that area. Two
other ones, about 6-8" (152.4-203.2 mm.) were found as well, but they
started to fall apart after being kept indoors for a year.
These
clues have therefore helped immensely to understand the origins of spherical
rocks, for each one of these rocks that were seen were said to have been
spherical.
Could
it be that most rocks that are spherical,
are really meteorites?
These
days, a number of people have been seeing objects falling out of the sky. On
Saturday, 23 April, 2005, during the daytime, about fifty or more people
reported seeing and/or hearing a meteor explode overhead in the sky near St.
Ambroise area of Manitoba, north of Portage La Prairie. It is thought to have
been about the size of a suitcase. Scientists would like to be able to find at
least a chunk of it. See one story about this sighting at http://winnipeg.cbc.ca.
In
the following chapters we will try to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that
most ancient spherical rocks found on our planet are not man made but were
naturally made in space and not on the Earth.
It
should be realized than any hot or liquid metal like mercury becomes spherical
when it falls away from its container and when on the floor, it rolls around
like a ball bearing or bb from an air rifle. So does hot molten iron which
sometimes flies away from the area which is being welded. The same thing applies
with regards to molten rock being ejected from volcanoes or from the Sun.
Chapter Three: What are
Meteorites?
Perhaps we
should first answer the question, “What are meteors and meteorites?” Well, we
are told that meteorites are rocks that were “ejected from an asteroid or
planet by the collision of another meteoroid or asteroid.”[5]
Has anyone seen this happen though? Has any scientist seen a collision in space
as mentioned and then seen the debris fall onto the Earth immediately after or
even years later? We have never known of anyone lately seeing such things. Have
you?
The ancient Book of Jasher[6]
though, at chapter VIII:2 has this account of one star [or comet]. It “came
from the east and ran in the heavens, and [it] swallowed up the four stars
[illuminated objects, small moons, planets or comets] from the four sides of
the heavens.” This happened on the night that Abram was born (VIII:1). But
there was no mention of seeing any debris falling in their area of the city of
Shinar [possibly near Babylon].
Another
question though, if the meteorites came from the asteroids, from where did the
asteroids come? Perhaps they came from a similar collision that was noticed by
the wise men and conjurors of Nimrodon that night when Abram was born?
This
was very likely in 1939 B. C., five hundred years before the Exodus of the
Hebrew slaves from Goshen in Egypt in 1439 B. C.[7]
That
above mentioned collision though, may have been the very one that brought about
the tens of thousands of pieces of debris that formed the asteroid belt between
Earth, Mars, and Jupiter.
Former
research physicist Stan Deyo of http://www.standeyo.com said on 17 May 2005, on
The Power Hour short-wave radio program[8]
that the number of asteroids in the belt between Mars and Jupiter are probably
the equivalent of an object about one quarter the size of our moon.
Could
it be that there were such objects that size that may have broken apart in a
big collision in space? Maybe it was that very collision that was observed on
the night that Abram was born?
We were told that the Shoemaker-Levy
9 comet that smashed into Jupiter in July 1994 had already previously broken
into at least twenty-one
fragments that were up to two kilometres in
diameter (www.jpl.nasa.gov). Most likely those fragments were pieces of debris
from an explosion or collision in space one day. They just so happen to be all
going in the same direction as the main body of the comet. Examples of this can
be seen in areas of the world where there are fields of spherical rocks such as
in Cannonball North Dakota and in places in Central America, mentioned later in
this book.
Upon
circling the planet, all these pieces apparently, remained grouped together
until impacting the planet in about twenty-three different places.
The
impact is said to have been the equivalent of about 200 million megatons of
TNT. Surely a comet this size, hitting a
small moon-like object, one-quarter the size of ours would have caused
sufficient damage to perhaps smash it into thousands of pieces.
Most
likely though, the meteoroids anywhere in space are really just left over
debris from one or more huge nuclear explosions on their closest parent
stars.After the explosions, they would fly around in orbits like our planets,
comets, and asteroids. They generally would
only fly around the star from which they got expelled and would mostly be found
within or close to the same plane as the orbiting planets of their stars.
The
planets of our Solar system and possibly of other planetary systems are generally all spread out in a plane
perpendicular to the equator of the parent star. Most of them, also circle the
same star in the same direction as the rotation of its gasses, fluids, and any
black or dark “sunspots” that
regularly form near the equator of the star.
Chapter Four: The Sun and Sunspots
The Sun is the central massive main
body of our Solar System, the area of the Universe where we reside. Scientists
say that it is a dwarf star, about 4.5 billion years old and on the outer area
of the Milky Way Galaxy. It “was formed from material that had been processed
inside other stars and supernovas.”[9] It
has a radius 108.97 times that of the Earth.[10]
This
writer believes that our sun came from an explosion from the central body of
our Milky Way Galaxy, possibly 30,000 years ago[11]
to a million years ago.
The
photosphere is “the luminous visible surface of the Sun,”[12]
the next layer is the chromosphere, and the corona is the outer atmosphere. The
sun spots seem to be indentations on the surface, in other words they are
probably of heavier matter.[13]
The Sun does rotate every 27 days at its middle . . . . it rotates about
every 35 days near its poles.[14]
When
explosions happen on our Sun and on stars, any matter that gets expelled far
enough and fast enough above their surfaces get exploded into orbit. The same
thing happens on Earth when mankind shoots rockets, with tremendous explosive
power straight up or to the east and very high into space, they end up going
into orbit around our planet.
One
of the reasons is that all things on or near the equator of our sphere, before
leaving the sphere were
already travelling fast around the
centre of that same sphere. In the case of our Sun, which has a diameter of
about 865,400 miles/1,392,428.6 km,[15]
they would be travelling at about 2,312 kilometres per hour or about
1,445.22 miles per hour (see below) in an
anticlockwise motion as seen from the north.
So
when a super huge nuclear explosion occurred in the past history of our Solar
system, the mass, blobs, and spittle of molten soupy matter[16]
from the lower and upper plasma and gaseous atmospheres went up and mostly into
orbit in the same direction they were going It is the centrifugal force of the
expelled objects travelling around the sun, seemingly trying to speed away from
the parent body but at a certain time of its travels the forces of gravity from
the sun and its centrifugal force balance out. The object then remains locked
in that same orbit until something gets in its way or comes close enough to it,
to slow it down or speed it up. It will then change its orbit closer or farther
away from the Sun. This often happens to the smaller objects in space, like the
comets, especially with Comet Halley. Its period of an orbit has varied at its
perihelion from 74 years 324 days to 79 years 91.9 days.[17]
while on the sun. Most likely all the biggest
explosions on our Sun occur in sunspot areas on or near its equator.
The
escape velocity is said to be 618.02 km/sec (384.01 mi/sec).[18]
In other words, any matter that gets exploded from the Sun’s surface faster
than the above figures can escape the very strong gravity of the Sun and goes
into short to very far distant elongated orbits like with comets.
Every
object in our solar system has a perihelion (closest distance of its orbit
around the Sun) and an aphelion (farthest distance of its orbit from the Sun).
This illustration is from Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (for computers),
Random House, ©1999.
At
times, some objects slow down enough by getting too close to another orbiting
body that they no longer can stay in orbit and get pulled back down into the
Sun and disappear.
The Radius, diameter & circumference of our
Sun is as follows: “The sun is nearly a perfect sphere. Its equatorial diameter
and its polar diameter differ by only 6.2 miles (10 km). The mean radius of the
sun is 432,450 miles (696,000 kilometers), which makes its diameter about
864,938 miles (1.392 million km). You could line up 109 Earths across the face
of the sun. The sun's circumference is about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km).[19]
It is
very likely that it is from some of these sunspots
that there are huge explosions. The sunspots build up on the equator of our Sun
and very likely on the equators of other stars. Apparently the under surfaces
of the sunspots can overheat too
much and cause explosions and flares.
It
has been estimated that the top surfaces of sunspots are 4,200 degrees Celsius
while the other areas are hotter, at 5,700 degrees Celsius. They have “strong
magnetic fields choking off the rising heat.” This might be from “gases boiling
up from the Sun’s interior.” A small spot may be the size of our Earth. The son
spots increase and decrease in cycles of 11.3 years. “. . . Solar flares occur
near sunspots.”[20]
They are caused
by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection by an effect comparable
to the eddy current brake, forming areas of reduced surface temperature. They
usually appear as pairs, with each sunspot having the opposite magnetic pole to
the other.[1][21]
Sunspots do not appear
in random locations. They tend to be concentrated in two mid-latitude bands on
either side of the equator. They begin appearing around 25 to 30 degrees north
and south of the centre. As the solar cycle progresses, new sunspots appear
closer to the equator, with the last of them appearing at an average latitude
of 5 to 10 degrees. Sunspots are almost never found at latitudes greater than
70 degrees.
It takes approximately 11 years for
the sun to move
through
the solar cycle that is defined by an
increasing
and then a decreasing number of
sunspots.
As it reaches the close of a cycle, new sunspots appear near the equator, while
a new cycle produces sunspots in higher latitudes. The cycles overlap; sunspots
from the previous cycle can still develop even after sunspots from the new
cycle appear. So solar scientists have a very difficult time saying exactly
when one cycle ends and the next begins.
As it
was earlier found that explosions of solar flares occur near sunspots and that
any future dangerous explosions could affect our Earth’s electrical power
lines, as has happened in the past, we will consider this topic of sunspots
further. We will consider old records of sunspot activity and other records
that could have been referring to sunspot activity. Furthermore, sunspots
activity may be the source or engine for propelling meteors and comets into
space.
The
Chinese and East Asian countries have kept records of seeing sunspots for
centuries, from about 206 BC on. In AD 15 [China] Mar 10–Apr 7 “. . . a star
appeared in the Sun.” AD 20 Mar 17 [China] “The Sun’s center was black.” But
nothing is mentioned about any sunspot in AD 31, eleven years later. This was
likely the year when there was three hours of darkness in the Jerusalem area
when Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. It was probably a huge Sunspot. The
prophet Isaiah wrote the following about what may have happened about two days
later:
Isaiah 9:2 “The
people who walked in darkness have seen a great
light. Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the
light has shined.” (WEB[22])
[and at] chapter 30:26 “Moreover the light
of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be
sevenfold, as the light of seven
days, in the day that [JÄ“h´-wah] bindeth up the breach of his people, and
healeth the stroke of their wound.” (AV)
The Book of Enoch at chapter XCI:16 has
this citation on perhaps this same event: “And all the powers of the heavens shall
give sevenfold light.”
Zechariah 14:7
It will be a unique day which is known to [JÄ“h´-wah]; not day, and not night;
but it will come to pass, that at evening
time there will be light. (WEB)
Could
this be in reference to the man of Nazareth rising from the dead before sunrise
on a Sunday morning after his crucifixion? For see what the famous prophet
Isaiah said: Isaiah 60:3 “Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the
brightness of your rising.” (WEB)
Then there is the strange phenomena of a double dawn
which occurred in China: "In the first year of KingYi (of
W. Zhou) the day dawned twice at Zheng,"[23] In articles on this strange phenomena,
the astronomers have made a bad guess as to the timing of this event. This
whole phenomenon would have naturally happened around 4:30 a. m. in China, when
the moon would have gotten so bright it seemed like the Sun was shining. After
a short while the moon went back to normal brightness and then the real Sun arose as usual at about 7
a. m., making it look like a second dawn had occurred.[24]
An
explosion on the Sun, as described by its brightness just mentioned must have
sent thousands of tons of molten rock into space. Whether it launched some
comets as well, who can tell? This is just mentioned to indicate that huge
explosions have occurred on the Sun and could happen again.
As of early 2011, solar
cycle 24 was under way, headed toward a peak of activity expected in 2013[25].
“. . . the Sun does rotate every 27 days at its middle .
. . . it rotates about every 35 days near itspoles.”[26]
As
the Sun is said to have a diameter of about 864,938 miles (1,391,685 km) and as
sunspots revolve around its equator in about 27 days, then they travel about
100,496.5 miles/161,698.9 km per day and 4,187 miles per hour or 6,737
kilometres per hour. Therefore when a big enough explosion happens on the sun
much of the molten matter could end up rotating the sun in an orbit like a
short or long period comet.
With regards to what happens on the
Earth, the speed of its rotation is much less though. Of course the military or
space organizations can also tilt the angle of takeoff to perhaps 45 degrees or
steer the projectile in such a way, to take advantage of the approximate 1070
miles per hour or 1,670 Kilometres
per hour[27]
speed of anything at our equator, as the Earth spins eastward. On doing it this
way, it therefore takes less energy to put anything in space near the equator.
With
regards to us on Earth, people usually see the meteorites first as “shooting
stars” or meteors flying quickly or slowly across the sky. Occasionally some
are found shortly after they fall but most often they are never found. Once
they are found, the landed meteors or meteoroids are then called meteorites.
As
discovered by two people we will mention later, some meteorites break down to
small particles or grains upon being exposed to heat and moisture, as found in
homes or out in the outside elements. This therefore accounts as to why not
many spherical meteorites are found intact, if not found right away.
Sometimes the smaller explosions on our Sun
are just seen as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. An explosion that
would be great enough to cause sufficient mass to be ejected to form a number
of huge objects as in our solar system would have to be much greater. One would
likely have occurred as a super-nuclear volcanic-like explosion from way
beneath the surface of the Sun or stars. Explosions such as these would likely have occurred hundreds or thousands
of miles beneath the liquid, gaseous, and plasma surfaces of the stars, because of the ejection of all kinds of
elements into space, from the lightest elements to the heaviest known elements.
When
one considers the numerous different shapes of galaxies, especially the pin
wheel types, those shapes must have been caused by two or more huge explosions
on different areas or opposite sides of the central huge bulge of the star of
those galaxies, not necessarily at the same time though.
Even
our Milky Way galaxy must have come about by a huge explosion to drive our Sun
and its neighbouring other stars into orbit about its centre, which must have
been spinning around very rapidly. It follows then that our own star, our Sun,
most likely had its own day of a time when things got too hot and a huge
explosion developed.
By
the fact though, that our Sun as well as all the other nearby stars of our
galaxy are travelling at great speeds around the central star and core of our
galaxy, the explosion must have been close to the spinning equator of the
parent star.
Most
likely the rings of Saturn were also caused by a huge explosion while it was
still hot from the explosion from off our Sun. That explosion must have also
occurred on or near the equator of that planet. Is this not logical?
It
therefore follows that if our Sun is fifteen or 4.5 billion years old or
whatever age it really is, then all matter that gets expelled from this same
Sun or star goes into orbit about it with the same age as its parent. This is
so, even if a planetary formation just got formed, let us say, only about one
hundred thousand years ago. Its material would still be of the same age of the
star that created it, though the planets themselves only got into those
spherical-like shapes, let us say, one hundred or more thousand years before,
when they blew off from their parent star.
When
these super huge nuclear explosions occur, not only do they expel enough mass
to form planets but also all their satellites or moons, the comets, asteroids,
meteors, shock waves, light, and radiation. With regards to any meteorites that
are found on our planet, most likely every one of them has come from our own
star, the Sun.
About
three hundred years ago, in England, numerous stones from the heavens fell on a
village in the daytime. Lately, one fell through the roof of a house in
Australia and bounced off a couch very close to where a baby was sleeping and
flew up to the ceiling, to then bounce back down to the floor. It then rolled
under the television set. It was about the size and shape of a loaf of bread.
Another one in another place crashed through the roof of a car garage and
destroyed the back seat of the car that was in the garage. One other time, one
whizzed past a golfer. It was the size of a baseball. Then there is also the
case of a woman who got badly injured and burnt by one that fell on her leg and
hip.
Now,
of these five instances, seeing these people saw and perhaps heard the sound of
meteorites flying in the air, while no professor or teacher of physics or of
geology ever have, who would you say is more of an authority on what are
meteorites or what a meteorite could look like? Would you not say it would be the actual ones who almost got killed by
one, than those who only have theorized or conjectured about what a meteorite
might look like? In other words, if you had the chance to speak in person to
one of the victims or near victims of falling meteorites, would you rather
speak to him or to a person who has never had such an experience? If you chose
the former, then the latter may not really be the ones to whom we should seek
for advice.
Until
just lately, no scientists or lay person has been known seeing a spherical
meteor that landed intact and close enough to the one sighting it, to be easily
found. Because of this, geologists do not even know that there are such things
as spherical meteorites except as very small grains of spheroids called
chondrules.
There
are actually, quite a few large spherical meteorites that have been found
throughout the world. Some are small like little grains of the chondrules to
one that is about nine feet (three metres) high and even “more than 11 feet[28]”
but the geologists have been told by their predecessors or instructors that
they do not exist, for to them, as spherical rocks are not meteorites, then any
spherical rocks of any bigger size than
spherical chondrules do not exist.
This
writer has been told or has read that spherical rocks are rock concretions
(like concrete) which grow out of the ground, gradually form in river beds, are
made by mankind [meaning ancient aboriginals because none today have ever been
known to make any] or were formed in glacial ice deposits.
This
is in spite of numerous meteorite craters that are almost perfect circles. Note that the craters are not square shapes
or rectangular but are mostly circular. Most likely the front parts of all
those meteorites were also round, as well as the back or top parts of them. The
large craters were very likely all made from falling spherical meteors,
spherical comets, or asteroids.
To
this writer though, asteroids would never be spherical because they are the
results of collisions in space.
Upon
looking at the craters on our moon and on the satellites of the other planets
and on asteroids and comets, they all suggest that the objects that hit them
were in the majority of cases, spherical. Why? Because of the circular
indentations that were left on their surfaces.
The
satellites or moons that circle many of the planets are simply very large
meteors or planetoids that got caught by the gravitational pull of their
respective planets and went into orbit around them. These same meteors or moons
were part of, most likely, the same mass coronal ejection that happened
thousands of years ago, which sent the ten listed ten comets into space of
which this book is about.
There
was very likely a much smaller mass coronal ejection after the crucifixion of
Jesus of Nazareth, as mentioned earlier. At that time though, there would have
been just small objects like short period comets, because there was no
noticeable difference that was ever mentioned, as far as this writer knows, of
any changes in our Solar System after that event.
Why
have the geologists not realized the true origins of the spherical rocks? Could
it be because they themselves have never seen one fall out of the sky, nor have
they known any credible witnesses that have seen one do so? It is also perhaps, because none of the
geologists are very knowledgeable about astronomy. Then again, the astronomers
do not seem to realize the real origins of spherical rocks either.
The
geologists, not having seen any spherical rocks fall out of the sky themselves,
have therefore come up with fanciful names for spherical rocks and absurd ideas
as to their formations, from being made by aboriginals or natives, to having
been formed right in the ground that way or by water erosion.
The
last one is not really an absurd one but this writer has checked
almost-dried-up river beds and creek beds in stony areas and in fields of
hundreds of rocks in his neighbouring farm areas and could never find one
spherical rock. Many rectangular ones with the edges rounded off but never a
spherical one.
As no
spherical rocks have ever been found partially made in any quarries of the
ancient world, while statues of gods or of other things have been found,
suggest that spherical rocks must have been made naturally by some natural
forces rather than man.
The
archeologist, Matthew W. Stirling wrote an interesting account in the National Geographic Magazine years ago
whereby he concluded that the spherical rocks of the Agua Blanca “were
naturally formed.” [29]
We drove to the ruins of the old mine
headquarters, then climbed on foot to an elevation of about 6,000 feet. There, atop a mountain spur, lay the five spheres
[in Jalisco State, in West Central Mexico].
Three of them were half
buried, the fourth, washed clean of rubble, stood in an arroyo, and the fifth
perched on the top of the ridge. It had a bulge on one side, and it was split
in two, as if broken while being shaped and left incomplete. All appeared to be
made of soft volcanic stone similar to the mountain itself.
The following morning
we began digging out the three half-buried spheres and in their vicinity found
six other buried ones. We discovered 11 more large stone balls the following
day, bringing the total to 22 at this site. They varied in diameter from
four-and-a-half to six-and-a-half feet.
On the flat excavation
area someone, sometime, had built a small rectangular foundation of stones. We could
not determine its age, but it seemed an ideal spot for a ceremonial site.
I was nevertheless
bothered by the fact that we found not one fragment of pottery or any other
artifact indicating human occupation. And the spheres, though almost perfect in
form, did not exhibit the fine surface finish of the Costa Rica specimens.
On the third day Jesus
Lopez straightened up from his shovel and asked why we were doing all this
digging and mapping.
“At Agua Blanca, just
over the top of the hill,” he said, “there are many, many of these balls lying
in the open ground.”
Still another site? I
was sceptical at first, but decided to investigate. We arranged for horses in
the village of Tiro Patria below the old mine entrance and set forth.
A two-hour ride took us up a mountainside throughforests of oak, pine,
and acacia with inspiring views of distant valleys. As the ground level[l]ed
off at the wild and lonely crest of the Sierra de Ameca, stone spheres came
into view. First they appeared singly, then in clusters where they had
accumulated in small arroyos—more and more, until we estimated there were
hundreds.
A spectacular sight!
The scene suggested some giantʼs bowling alley or the ball park of the Aztec
gods. The spheres lay fully exposed; they ranged in diameter from about two
feet to one giant of more than 11 feet. The average I estimated at five or six
feet.
The profusion of stone
balls at Agua Blanca completely changed our concept of their origin. Such great
numbers surely indicated natural formation. Some of the stones were pear shaped
and a very few were joined as twins or had a dumbbell shape, and these sports
certainly also to deny human fabrication.
But if the spheres were
not man-made, then how had they been formed? Where had they come from in such
fantastic numbers? We realized that our expedition had made an astonishing
discovery—but that the explanation for it would have to come not from an
archeologist but from a geologist.[30]
Following this thought
a Mr. Bill Baird wrote the article below on the possible origin of the
spherical rocks in the Aqua Blanca area in Central America:
It was not until 1967
however, when Matthew Stirling and his colleagues saw hundreds of spheres littering
the ground at Agua Blanca, near Guadalajara, in Mexico, did they suspect that
the origin of the spheres was a geological rather than an archaeological
problem. Stirling's report to the National Geographic Committee for Research
and Exploration resulted in a joint National Geographic - Smithsonian
Institution - United States Geological Survey expedition to the Agua Blanca
area in 1968. The members of the expedition concluded that the spheres were
indeed of geological origin and had probably formed by the nucleation, at high
temperature, of glassy material around individual, widely spaced glass shards,
within the matrix of an ashfall tuff. The tuff was formed during an episode of
Tertiary volcanism. Hot gases were released as the glass solidified, permeating
the rock in all directions and remelting the surrounding material to form the
spheres. The process of sphere growth continued until either the rock had
cooled sufficiently or the spheres coalesced.
Spheroidal structures
are not uncommon in rocks, especially those of volcanic origin, but most are
the intermediate products of weathering processes and not normally perfectly
round. Many geologists will have seen examples of onion skin weathering in the
dolerite exposures of Scotland's Midland Valley and structures of this type
within igneousrocks appear in the literature, from as far afield as the Karroo,
of South Africa and Klondyke, Arizona. What is uncommon about the stones of
Central America is the near perfection of their spherical form. Perhaps the
master stonemasons of that unknown culture first credited with making them,
simply honed to perfection the spheres they liked best?[31]
“ Barringer’s Evidence
In
1906, and again in 1909, Barringer and Tilghman presented their arguments for
the impact origin of the crater to the Academy of Natural Sciences in
Philadelphia. They included:
The presence
of millions of tons of finely pulverized silica, which could only have been
created by enormous pressure.
The large quantities of meteoritic iron, in
the form of globular “shale balls,”
scattered around the rim and surrounding plain [regarding the Barringer
circular Meteorite Crater in northern Arizona].[32]
See what it looks like at http://www.barringercrater.com/ and at
http://www.amusingplanet.com/2013/07/the-incredible-barringer-meteor-crater.html.
Note
that seeing the Barringer Crater is mostly circular, does this not suggest that
the object that made that crater was also quite circular or spherical?
Part ii., vol. Iv., of
the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections (p. 203, No. 1725) contains an interesting illustrated
discussion of the Canyon Diablo meteorites, by Messrs. G. P. Merrill and Wirt
Tassin. The former discusses the distribution and physical characters of the
shale balls found in such large quantities in the vicinity of the canyon in
Coconino County, Arizona. These balls are roughly globular in outline, of all
weights up to 50 lb., and consist of an exterior coating of hydrated oxide of
iron frequently enclosing unoxidised iron centres, or nuclei, the intermediate
shell showing a green hydroxide of nickel mingled with oxides of iron. The
inspection of a number of these balls and of the ground in which they are found
apparently strengthens the theory of the meteoric origin of the crater
[Barringer Crater].
Mr. Tassin deals with
the chemical analysis of the finds, and shows that these shale balls differ to some extent in their chemical
composition from the ordinary Canyon Diablo iron. They contain appreciable
quantities of chlorine, whereas none has been found in the ordinary iron, and
also contain more phosphorus; to the presence of these two elements the
increased oxidation of the shale balls may be
ascribed.[33]
A Mr. Ray Vaughn in his article: The Mystery of the Spheres comes very
close to understanding how the spheres came about:
Others believe
natural forces may have caused the creation of the spheres. One of the two
prevailing scenarios envisions huge chunks of molten rock ejected into the air
millions of years ago when the Talamancas were an active volcanic chain. The
ejecta then took on a spherical shape as it cooled in its fall to earth—much
like a raindrop does.[34]
Another article on globular rocks can be found at this
site: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ article/pii/0024493793900177. It is about a find of Globular ferropicritic rocks at
Pechenga, Kola Peninsula Russia.
During the last several years, a number of
planetary systems have been discovered by astronomers. One can find many sites
on the internet of such things, such as “theplanetary.org.” Two scientists even
saw one apparently being made, as reported by space.com around
2003. It was a so-called dwarf star,
about the same size of ours, ejecting a huge amount of mass, sufficient enough
to cause a planetary system like ours.
It
was previously thought that our Sun was too old, cool, or too small to be able
to bring about a planetary system. This theory has therefore been proved wrong.
This
is because when molten mass goes out into the vacuum of space, they naturally
form spherical-like objects, provided that most of its composition is of the
same or similar weight or specific gravity. A similar thing happens when
mercury, which is always in liquid form at room temperature, is spilt on a
smooth surface. It breaks up into small bits of spherical ball-bearing like
structures, running all over the place. When this author saw this happen, they
were about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm) in size.
If
any of the molten blobs and spittle of matter that get ejected into orbits
start to rotate, and apparently most, if not all do, they expand a little at
their equators while they are hot, just as what has happened to the Sun and to
our planet Earth.
This
phenomenon is another reason why some of the spherical rocks are not exactly
spherical, for one was found in a similar shape to a watermelon. It apparently
got blasted from the Sun in a molten blob or shape similar to that of a rugby
ball and most likely, only spiralled about slowly, about its longest axis.
Another
thing to note about many meteorites and especially the spherical ones is that
the cores of the meteorites are not always of the same exact composition as on
the surface. So when the hot heavier core cools and shrinks, the outside crust
of the meteorite will often fold in creases, in similar fashions as to what
happens with pie crusts and cakes, when they cool off. They wrinkle and you
will see that this is the case in the three large meteorites in our photos.
Sometimes
cracks will even occur as happens with concrete, if it dries and sets too fast.
So in space, similar things must also happen. You will also see evidence of
some kind of gas, vapour, or liquids, having bubbled out and escaped through
holes on the surface of meteorites as they were ejected into space and on into
orbit. These kinds of escaped matter would then form little dried up river beds
on the meteorites.
While
some blobs of a dense like soup of all kinds of elements and molecules of
matter that were boiling in the sun’s molten rock were flying off into orbit
about our Sun, the heaviest elements would very likely be in the centre of the
molten mass while the outside lighter elements get cooled off first. At times
though, lighter elements or matter gets trapped in the centre core and later
bubbles out or bursts out and causes structures like little volcanoes, vents,
creases, and air holes on the outside surface as it cools.
Look
for some of these signs in the following photos of our samples of meteorites.
Some though may have been weathered for years before anyone found one. These
therefore may lack signs of the air holes on most, if not all of its surfaces.
In
the light of the above explanations, please consider with due thought and
reasoning, the following remarks and discoveries.
As
our theory is that all meteorites were originally from the sun thousands of
years ago and that some may have come from an asteroid belt of debris from
objects like comets or small planets or moons which once collided. Since they
too came from our Sun, please look at the following photos for signs that the
spherical rocks were at one time molten masses from our Sun as well.
If
they were from the Sun then there should be signs of cooling, of water or other
material, coming out of the cooling crusts and causing vent holes, creases, and
appearances similar to that seen with bread dough, pastry, and cakes as they
cook with water and steam escaping from them. Then while cooling, there will sometimes
be areas which will collapse and cause wrinkles, creases, valleys, and hills.
A
short while ago, when this writer’s brother and sister-in-law were in Chile,
South America, they were startled one day upon hearing a loud crack in the day
time. A formerly cold rock suddenly got so hot in the daytime sunshine that it
split apart into two or more pieces.
This
helps us to understand the nature of how rocks have been splitting up and
breaking down for centuries, thus providing material for our soils for plant growth.
This also explains why more spherical rocks have not been found in certain
areas.

Chapter Five: The Photograph Section on Spherical and other
Rocks
The included photograph
section has photos of one spherical rock found by Constable Paul Sutherland of
Camperville, Manitoba; another one about the same size by Mr. Gordon McKay of
180 McKay’s Point Road, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba (about one or two
kilometres away from the first one); pieces of another one by Trecia Bersi
(formerly of Camperville area) and her friend Mr. Fred Geekie, (also formerly
of Camperville area), and a very large one by Mr. Peter Lysiuk of Winnipeg.
It
was a Mr. Ronald Chartrand (about forty years old at that time) who first
reported to the above-named constable of seeing a meteor going across the sky
over Camperville during the early morning hours (about four a. m.) while dogs
howled all over their village in the spring time, possibly in April 2000. It
was seen going slowly across the sky and then falling into a forested area on
the outskirts of Camperville but within the village limits.
Sometime
that same day, when Constable Sutherland was told about the falling object, he
found it in a large field across the west side of the road from where he used
to live as a child and where his mother still lives (at the time the rock fell
out of the sky). As a child, he and his neighbours never saw that rock in that
area before. It is next to a forested area.
After
hitting the ground on a slant, it bounced about twenty feet (six meters) away out of the dent it made on
the frozen ground and then rolled to a halt, about seventy-five feet (22.8
meters) away. As it rolled it made a furrow in the ground and it got deeper as
it slowed down to a stop.
The
meteorite, being the size of a regular beach ball, was fairly easy for him to
find, as it fell onto the snow-covered ground in a large field near the edge of
a forest. It apparently got quite dirty when it hit the snow covered fertile
grassy soft ground, as it was quite black and multicolored when he first found
it.
Sutherland
thought it was too heavy for him to lift, so he left it there for a week. He
then asked his son Clayton (about fifteen or sixteen years old at the time) to
get some help to somehow bring the strange rock home. He did so with his friend
Tony Korchinski with a trailer and an all-terrain vehicle. Since that time, the
Sutherlands washed some of the black debris off of the stone plus it was out in
the rain, sleet, sun, and snow for years before this writer examined it.
Around
the time that the constable found the rock, he was afraid that someone might
want to steal it, so he hushed things up about finding it. Mrs. Susan Bone, who
lives close by, found out about Paul finding it. She therefore informed this
writer on Saturday, April 24, 2004 (115th day) about it, when he was
sharing his interest in comets and meteorites.
The
rock was found to be about fifteen inches (38 cm.) in diameter, 162 pounds
(about 73.5 kilograms) and having a specific gravity of about 2.42. Geologists
said this stone is mostly a granite rock concretion and was most likely man
made. On moving a compass close to the rock, the arrow was deflected, thus
showing there is iron or nickel in the rock.
Geologists,
astronomers, and one instructor at the Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba
refused to believe that this stone and another one were meteorites. So this
author went about the area where the rock was found by Paul Sutherland and
sought for other witnesses of this rock falling out of the sky. This was in the
spring of 2005.
On
going door to door across Highway 20 in Pine Creek First Nations on the north
side of the field where the spherical rock was found, this writer met a Mrs.
Annette Nepinak who said that she and her son Randy (fifteen or sixteen at the
time) had also seen it falling into the field one night, possibly in the spring
of the year 2000. They said that it was a greenish falling star or meteorite
that just plummeted down into the field one night. The Nepinak house faces
south and they saw this event through their living room windows (their address
is House 10 on Highway 20, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba).
Later
that same evening of visiting the above people, a Mrs. Mildred Catcheway of
House 705, Duck Bay Road in Pine Creek First Nations, said she saw a greenish
falling star or meteorite fall that night in the same general direction of that
field.
Mr.
Allen Sutherland, Paul’s brother, heard about the meteorite that was found. He
later went to his brother’s place at 205 River Road, Camperville, Manitoba to
examine it.
Mrs.
Susan Bone who lives just down the road from Constable Sutherland’s place, said
that everyone in Camperville knew about that meteorite falling into their area
that particular night.
She
just did not know that according to geologists and astronomers there is no such
thing as a spherical meteorite. So according to them this was a none event,
that is, it did not really happen.
School
teacher Zelda Chartrand, sister of another Ronald Chartrand, said she
remembered hearing her brother mentioning about a meteorite falling into
Camperville one night some years ago.
One
of the teachers at the Minegoziibe Anishinabe School, Maryann Simpson of
Camperville, Manitoba wrote “I heard the story about the meteorite: It landed
in a field (somewhere) across the highway [#20 to Cowan, MB] from Thomas
Nepinak’s place. There’s [also] a landowner who tried to say that it fell on
his land and that he should get the meteorite [referring to Mr. Julien Cottyn
of Swan River, MB who was actually leasing Crown land for hay for his cattle].
On
7 October 2010, this writer met a Mr. Miles Nepinak (ph. 204-524-2130) in that
same area. He said that the time that Constable Sutherland’s rock fell out of
the sky, he was coming back from Dauphin, Manitoba, which is south of
Camperville. He saw that same rock fall out of the sky as others did. He
estimated that it fell into the wooded area just south of highway 20 where a
number of houses were built and are still there. He went looking for it in the
bushes and woods on the edges of the field but he could not find it.
Mr.
Gordon McKay, who found the other one in a deep pit of clay behind the arena at
Pine Creek First Nations, said that around the time that Paul Sutherland found
his meteorite, a number of meteorites were seen by others.
The
other spherical meteorite is about fourteen inches (35.6 cm) in diameter, 133
pounds (60 kilograms) and a specific gravity of about 2.61.
It
was found some time ago, possibly in the summer of 1999, about eight kilometres
north of the area where the other was found. The smaller one was found while
Mr. McKay, a landscape contractor, was digging clay out of a pit. He did not
notice the rock until starting to take away the clay that they had brought to
the surface of the eight to ten-foot pit.
While
a few kilometres south of Camperville, a Mrs. Shirley Parenteau and numerous
other people saw a light-green ball-type of meteor or comet with a greenish
tail of about six times the length of the size of the object at the front. There were also sparks at the end of the tail
and it was making a swishing noise as it went by. They saw this about 9:30 p.
m., while they were coming home from Winnipegosis at about the end of January
or beginning of February of 2005. It was the size of the moon, when it was seen
overhead in the sky. As it was going slowly toward the west of Camperville, it
must have also fallen into a forest in their area. It has not been found as
yet, as it is in quite a wilderness area.
Her
husband, Chuck Parenteau and their children saw another slow-moving falling
star, which was a “golden-green” colour in their area on about 3 April 2005.
The
bits and pieces of similar spherical rocks, as seen in the photo section, fell
apart after about one year in their home. They were about six to eight inches
(15 to 20 cm) in diameter when found and they had a glassy outer shell to them,
which soon broke down in our atmosphere of our Earth and in the dampness and
heat of their home.
The
reddish one that is attracted to a magnet was found by Mr. Fred Geekie about
twenty years ago in the Garland area, in the first gravel pit near Boggie
Creek, just before Duck Mountain Provincial Park. According to geology
instructor Peter Adamo of the University of Brandon, it appears to be made of
iron sulfide (FeS) with some magnatite (Fe3O4).
The
one with the larger black and white crystal-like pieces was found about
thirty-two miles (51 km.) south of The Pas, Manitoba, in a gravel pit, on the
west side of the road, about three miles before the spring water, south of The
Pas. This was found about August of 2003 and it too was the only rock like it
in the pit. According to instructor Peter Adamo at the University of Brandon,
it appears to be made of plagiooclase feldspar (NaAlSi3O8
to CaAl2Si2O8) and pyroxene gabbro.
One
spherical meteorite that was found by the lady, Trecia Bersi, was light and
seemingly hollow, as if it was a bubble of gas that flew off into space, with a
membrane that froze solid into a tough shell as it traveled away from the Sun.
This broke down too and had to be discarded after a few years.
The
huge three feet (about 90 cm) in diameter meteorite was actually found about
seven miles (about eleven kilometres) east of Danbury, Saskatchewan, Canada in
about 1970. It was found by Mr. Peter Lysiuk who lived some miles away. He was
working for the provincial government, building roads at the time, driving
bulldozers and other road grading equipment. He came across a large round stone
one day that was protruding about one foot (about thirty centimetres) out of
the ground. Upon digging it out, he
found that it was quite circular and spherical in shape. He therefore kept it
for a souvenir.
As pointed out in a video we made of the rocks
and in our photos, there are many holes and crevices that could have let out
gases as it cooled and was being shot out into space and into orbit. As the
inside core was probably of a heavier composition than the outside, it would
shrink at a different rate than the outside and could very likely have caused
the creases and wrinkles on the surface.
When
Mr. Lysiuk retired, he later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, he brought his large
spherical rock with him on a strong truck and placed it on a concrete pedestal
in his front yard at 191 Garden Park Drive at Templeton Avenue, Winnipeg,
Manitoba.
There
is another huge one in Winnipeg, that this author first saw before he saw the
ones found in the Camperville area. The really huge one was at the side of a
construction site, possibly near the forks area. It was about six or seven feet
tall (about two metres high).
On
later looking for it, he could not find it. Apparently the contractor never
knew the tremendous find he had. Hopefully, somebody reading this will remember
seeing it and might know where it is. If so, please contact this writer as to
its whereabouts.
Though
there were much indications of iron in the two smaller ones, there was no signs
of iron in the three feet wide one.
A
John Wiebe, of Box 53, Tolstoy, Manitoba R0A 2E0 found in about 1990, a very
interesting rock, which he believes is a meteorite and so does this writer. He
found it on his farm while digging a trench about 6 or 7 feet (183 to 213 cm)
deep in clay soil where there were no rocks or gravel. What is unusual about
this one is that it is in the shape of a watermelon and is about 10 inches (25
cm.) long.
A
Bart and Linda Prior of Neepawa have a rock similar in size as to the ones
found in the Camperville area. Their rock weighs about 168 pounds (76.36
kilograms).
A
Melody Giesbrecht of Altona, Manitoba sent this writer the photographs of the
rock at the Gretna Manitoba Cemetery. It is about fifteen inches (thirty-eight
centimetres) in diameter and was originally found in North Western Ontario.
A
Mr. Ben Andres of Steinbach, Manitoba lent this writer, pieces of a large
spherical rock that he found at one time but through the heat and cold of
Manitoba weather it broke down into many pieces.
Chapter Six: Questions and Answers
1. Question: An astronomer told me,
“There are no holes in your spherical-like rocks. Since there are no holes, how
could they have been hot and molten as you proclaim?”
Answer: As you can see by the article Photos of Former Space Objects, there
are many small holes. Some are only dents in the surface as if smaller meteors
bumped into these meteorites before they landed on the Earth.
It
could be that the astronomer’s glasses were dirty, he was not observant or did
not even want to see the holes, otherwise his schooling would have been proved
wrong. It could be that to him holes
are ones that are big enough to insert one’s fingers in as with tenpin bowling
balls. He should realize though, that if these rocks or meteorites came from
the Sun as we believe they did, then they were molten or liquid rock that even
expanded to their present size as they were shot into space and got far away
from the strong gravity of the Sun. While cooling off in space though, anything
lighter than the rock would slowly rise to the surface of the rock, especially
if they were spinning in space. Some of the lighter materials escape through
vent holes that they make when coming to the surface, like little volcanoes.
From
the fact that the rocks are not perfectly spherical, show that they must have
been quite liquid and spinning at one time. They are wider at their equators
than at their poles, as all the planets and
their respective moons.
One
of the rocks has a circumference of 120.3 cm. at its poles while it is 120.8 at
its equator. In fact this difference is essentially the same ratio to that of
our planet Earth. The smaller rock in one of the photos has a circumference of
110.7 cm. at its poles while it is 115.3 cm. at its equator. This may be
indicative of it spinning faster than the other one while it was still molten
rock.
The
heavy liquid would then slowly fill in the escape passage way. As the outside
would be cooling off faster than the inside, marks or signs of the holes can
still be seen on the surface. Some of the holes show signs of a lip of molten
rock having cooled off just before it could completely close off the hole.
There are actually hundreds of small holes on
these two large rocks, which are similar to many of the holes on lava rock.
Most of the hundreds of holes though, on examining more than one hundred photos
of the two large spherical rocks, seem to be vent holes or holes where vapour
or liquids escaped to the surface of the rock. There are possibly two or more
places where the liquid may have been iron that came to the surface, like a
little volcano but as with many of the other holes or bubbles, the iron was
kind of burnt off as it entered our atmosphere.
2. Question: Are there not signs of worms
crawling on the surface at one time?
Answer: There are similar marks on the
spherical rock at Templeton Avenue and Garden Park Drive, but they too are very
likely from the teeth of heavy equipment which was used to lift it out of the
ground. Later it was transported to his property in Saskatchewan and then later
on to its pedestal in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The
one from Pine Creek First Nations has similar scratches or gouges, which
probably got there from the back hole that was used several times on it to get
it out of the clay pit, onto a truck or trailer, off the vehicle and onto a
large boulder for display purposes.
People at times would even knock it off and
then it would be put back up on it again and again until the owner finally just
left it on the ground near the large boulder.
3. Question: How come it is so different
from the other meteorites?
Answer: One should realize, that at one
time our planet Earth was quite similar to these meteorites for it too was a
huge molten rock flying in space. As it revolved it got bigger at the equator
because of the centrifugal force of trying to send everything away from the
center of the Earth.
As
the surface of the Earth cooled, it became one huge spinning spherical rock
with a greater diameter at its equator than at its poles.
As
there was constant heat and cold as the Earth went into orbit about the Sun and
continued for thousands or millions of years of circling the Sun, the rocky
surface cracked and cracked, and weathered so much that eventually there were
enough dust and soil for plants to grow.
Furthermore,
just as our planet Earth is made up of about 105 different kinds of elements
and hundreds or thousands of compounds of these same elements, so we should
expect all the space rocks that have fallen and will be falling from the sky in
the future will be of similar elements and compounds, except for those due to
biological formations of plants and animals. These same plants and animals are made out of the same elements or
substances as can be expected to be found on any object that came from the same
parent star, that is, our Sun as did our planet Earth at one time.
4. Question: If your rocks are from space,
how come we do not find many or hardly any of them?
Answer: As noted in the above chapter;
some or maybe even most spherical meteorites start to deteriorate from the
moment they enter our atmosphere and fall on the ground. If brought in doors,
they may be slowed down or even deteriorate faster, depending on what
substances they consist. Even the big ones like our main two meteorites start
to crack apart and will eventually split apart if left in the sunshine or in
the freezing cold. The one that fell onto the clay soil was spared some deterioration
until it was put on display. The one that fell onto the prairie soil of
Saskatchewan, sunk into the soil enough so that it helped prevent it from
completely cracking to pieces in the hot sunshine.
5. Question: How can we tell whether what
you are saying is true?
Answer: You do not have to believe me but
just use common sense and basic physics and your faculties should tell you that
what we have been told by those who should know, does not add up or answer all
the properties that can be seen on these samples of rocks.
You
can also phone Constable Paul Sutherland and his son Clayton of Camperville,
Manitoba (204-524-2392 or 2270) and the Mayor of Camperville (204-524-2212)
plus Mr. Gordon MacKay of Pine Creek First Nations (204-524-2262). You may also
be able to track down Mr. Fred Geekie who may have moved back to The Pas,
Manitoba.
6. Question: Since Fred Geekie claimed he
found his spherical rocks in gravel pits, does that not prove they were formed
naturally on the Earth like the other stones and rocks in the pits?
Answer: No! If one considers the
difficulty of ever finding a spherical rock meteorite in a hay field, prairie
grass land, or a forest in comparison to finding one amongst stones and rocks
in a gravel pit, what one would you choose? Would it not be vastly easier to
find one in a gravel pit than in other places such as in lakes? After several
years in a field or forest, the spherical rocks would probably breakdown and
become part of the soil or would soon sink too deep into the soil to be ever
found before it would breakdown and become part of the land.
If
Mr. Geekie had not found his spherical rocks when he did, it could be that they
too would have cracked and deteriorated as quickly as the ones that fell on
other areas of the land. As he was observant at looking for unusual things, he
found his first one and after that he would be constantly hoping to find
another. That is why he found them in the gravel pits.
During
many years of travelling in the country, shovelling gravel and dirt, and being
at beaches, this writer has never noticed spherical rocks of any size like the
ones mentioned in this book, except for one huge one in Winnipeg. He did not
realize what it was though and neither did the ones that found it, otherwise
there would have been a big news article about it.
One
time though, he found an aboriginal sledge hammer or mallet head amongst some
gravel at an Auto Wrecker on Springfield Road in Winnipeg, some years ago.
Chapter Five: The Photograph Section on Spherical and other
Rocks
The included photograph
section has photos of one spherical rock found by Constable Paul Sutherland of
Camperville, Manitoba; another one about the same size by Mr. Gordon McKay of
180 McKay’s Point Road, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba (about one or two
kilometres away from the first one); pieces of another one by Trecia Bersi
(formerly of Camperville area) and her friend Mr. Fred Geekie, (also formerly
of Camperville area), and a very large one by Mr. Peter Lysiuk of Winnipeg.
It
was a Mr. Ronald Chartrand (about forty years old at that time) who first
reported to the above-named constable of seeing a meteor going across the sky
over Camperville during the early morning hours (about four a. m.) while dogs
howled all over their village in the spring time, possibly in April 2000. It
was seen going slowly across the sky and then falling into a forested area on
the outskirts of Camperville but within the village limits.
Sometime
that same day, when Constable Sutherland was told about the falling object, he
found it in a large field across the west side of the road from where he used
to live as a child and where his mother still lives (at the time the rock fell
out of the sky). As a child, he and his neighbours never saw that rock in that
area before. It is next to a forested area.
After
hitting the ground on a slant, it bounced about twenty feet (six meters) away out of the dent it made on
the frozen ground and then rolled to a halt, about seventy-five feet (22.8
meters) away. As it rolled it made a furrow in the ground and it got deeper as
it slowed down to a stop.
The
meteorite, being the size of a regular beach ball, was fairly easy for him to
find, as it fell onto the snow-covered ground in a large field near the edge of
a forest. It apparently got quite dirty when it hit the snow covered fertile
grassy soft ground, as it was quite black and multicolored when he first found
it.
Sutherland
thought it was too heavy for him to lift, so he left it there for a week. He
then asked his son Clayton (about fifteen or sixteen years old at the time) to
get some help to somehow bring the strange rock home. He did so with his friend
Tony Korchinski with a trailer and an all-terrain vehicle. Since that time, the
Sutherlands washed some of the black debris off of the stone plus it was out in
the rain, sleet, sun, and snow for years before this writer examined it.
Around
the time that the constable found the rock, he was afraid that someone might
want to steal it, so he hushed things up about finding it. Mrs. Susan Bone, who
lives close by, found out about Paul finding it. She therefore informed this
writer on Saturday, April 24, 2004 (115th day) about it, when he was
sharing his interest in comets and meteorites.
The
rock was found to be about fifteen inches (38 cm.) in diameter, 162 pounds
(about 73.5 kilograms) and having a specific gravity of about 2.42. Geologists
said this stone is mostly a granite rock concretion and was most likely man
made. On moving a compass close to the rock, the arrow was deflected, thus
showing there is iron or nickel in the rock.
Geologists,
astronomers, and one instructor at the Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba
refused to believe that this stone and another one were meteorites. So this
author went about the area where the rock was found by Paul Sutherland and
sought for other witnesses of this rock falling out of the sky. This was in the
spring of 2005.
On
going door to door across Highway 20 in Pine Creek First Nations on the north
side of the field where the spherical rock was found, this writer met a Mrs.
Annette Nepinak who said that she and her son Randy (fifteen or sixteen at the
time) had also seen it falling into the field one night, possibly in the spring
of the year 2000. They said that it was a greenish falling star or meteorite
that just plummeted down into the field one night. The Nepinak house faces
south and they saw this event through their living room windows (their address
is House 10 on Highway 20, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba).
Later
that same evening of visiting the above people, a Mrs. Mildred Catcheway of
House 705, Duck Bay Road in Pine Creek First Nations, said she saw a greenish
falling star or meteorite fall that night in the same general direction of that
field.
Mr.
Allen Sutherland, Paul’s brother, heard about the meteorite that was found. He
later went to his brother’s place at 205 River Road, Camperville, Manitoba to
examine it.
Mrs.
Susan Bone who lives just down the road from Constable Sutherland’s place, said
that everyone in Camperville knew about that meteorite falling into their area
that particular night.
She
just did not know that according to geologists and astronomers there is no such
thing as a spherical meteorite. So according to them this was a none event,
that is, it did not really happen.
School
teacher Zelda Chartrand, sister of another Ronald Chartrand, said she
remembered hearing her brother mentioning about a meteorite falling into
Camperville one night some years ago.
One
of the teachers at the Minegoziibe Anishinabe School, Maryann Simpson of
Camperville, Manitoba wrote “I heard the story about the meteorite: It landed
in a field (somewhere) across the highway [#20 to Cowan, MB] from Thomas
Nepinak’s place. There’s [also] a landowner who tried to say that it fell on
his land and that he should get the meteorite [referring to Mr. Julien Cottyn
of Swan River, MB who was actually leasing Crown land for hay for his cattle].
On
7 October 2010, this writer met a Mr. Miles Nepinak (ph. 204-524-2130) in that
same area. He said that the time that Constable Sutherland’s rock fell out of
the sky, he was coming back from Dauphin, Manitoba, which is south of
Camperville. He saw that same rock fall out of the sky as others did. He
estimated that it fell into the wooded area just south of highway 20 where a
number of houses were built and are still there. He went looking for it in the
bushes and woods on the edges of the field but he could not find it.
Mr.
Gordon McKay, who found the other one in a deep pit of clay behind the arena at
Pine Creek First Nations, said that around the time that Paul Sutherland found
his meteorite, a number of meteorites were seen by others.
The
other spherical meteorite is about fourteen inches (35.6 cm) in diameter, 133
pounds (60 kilograms) and a specific gravity of about 2.61.
It
was found some time ago, possibly in the summer of 1999, about eight kilometres
north of the area where the other was found. The smaller one was found while
Mr. McKay, a landscape contractor, was digging clay out of a pit. He did not
notice the rock until starting to take away the clay that they had brought to
the surface of the eight to ten-foot pit.
While
a few kilometres south of Camperville, a Mrs. Shirley Parenteau and numerous
other people saw a light-green ball-type of meteor or comet with a greenish
tail of about six times the length of the size of the object at the front. There were also sparks at the end of the tail
and it was making a swishing noise as it went by. They saw this about 9:30 p.
m., while they were coming home from Winnipegosis at about the end of January
or beginning of February of 2005. It was the size of the moon, when it was seen
overhead in the sky. As it was going slowly toward the west of Camperville, it
must have also fallen into a forest in their area. It has not been found as
yet, as it is in quite a wilderness area.
Her
husband, Chuck Parenteau and their children saw another slow-moving falling
star, which was a “golden-green” colour in their area on about 3 April 2005.
The
bits and pieces of similar spherical rocks, as seen in the photo section, fell
apart after about one year in their home. They were about six to eight inches
(15 to 20 cm) in diameter when found and they had a glassy outer shell to them,
which soon broke down in our atmosphere of our Earth and in the dampness and
heat of their home.
The
reddish one that is attracted to a magnet was found by Mr. Fred Geekie about
twenty years ago in the Garland area, in the first gravel pit near Boggie
Creek, just before Duck Mountain Provincial Park. According to geology
instructor Peter Adamo of the University of Brandon, it appears to be made of
iron sulfide (FeS) with some magnatite (Fe3O4).
The
one with the larger black and white crystal-like pieces was found about
thirty-two miles (51 km.) south of The Pas, Manitoba, in a gravel pit, on the
west side of the road, about three miles before the spring water, south of The
Pas. This was found about August of 2003 and it too was the only rock like it
in the pit. According to instructor Peter Adamo at the University of Brandon,
it appears to be made of plagiooclase feldspar (NaAlSi3O8
to CaAl2Si2O8) and pyroxene gabbro.
One
spherical meteorite that was found by the lady, Trecia Bersi, was light and
seemingly hollow, as if it was a bubble of gas that flew off into space, with a
membrane that froze solid into a tough shell as it traveled away from the Sun.
This broke down too and had to be discarded after a few years.
The
huge three feet (about 90 cm) in diameter meteorite was actually found about
seven miles (about eleven kilometres) east of Danbury, Saskatchewan, Canada in
about 1970. It was found by Mr. Peter Lysiuk who lived some miles away. He was
working for the provincial government, building roads at the time, driving
bulldozers and other road grading equipment. He came across a large round stone
one day that was protruding about one foot (about thirty centimetres) out of

When
Mr. Lysiuk retired, he later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, he brought his large

in his front yard at 191 Garden Park Drive at Templeton Avenue, Winnipeg,
Manitoba.

until it was put on display. The one that fell onto the prairie soil of
Saskatchewan, sunk into the soil enough so that it helped prevent it from
completely cracking to pieces in the hot sunshine.
5. Question: How can we tell whether what
you are saying is true?
Answer: You do not have to believe me but
just use common sense and basic physics and your faculties should tell you that
what we have been told by those who should know, does not add up or answer all
the properties that can be seen on these samples of rocks.
You
can also phone Constable Paul Sutherland and his son Clayton of Camperville,
Manitoba (204-524-2392 or 2270) and the Mayor of Camperville (204-524-2212)
plus Mr. Gordon MacKay of Pine Creek First Nations (204-524-2262). You may also
be able to track down Mr. Fred Geekie who may have moved back to The Pas,
Manitoba.
6. Question: Since Fred Geekie claimed he
found his spherical rocks in gravel pits, does that not prove they were formed
naturally on the Earth like the other stones and rocks in the pits?
Answer: No! If one considers the
difficulty of ever finding a spherical rock meteorite in a hay field, prairie
grass land, or a forest in comparison to finding one amongst stones and rocks
in a gravel pit, what one would you choose? Would it not be vastly easier to
find one in a gravel pit than in other places such as in lakes? After several
years in a field or forest, the spherical rocks would probably breakdown and
become part of the soil or would soon sink too deep into the soil to be ever
found before it would breakdown and become part of the land.
If
Mr. Geekie had not found his spherical rocks when he did, it could be that they
too would have cracked and deteriorated as quickly as the ones that fell on
other areas of the land. As he was observant at looking for unusual things, he
found his first one and after that he would be constantly hoping to find
another. That is why he found them in the gravel pits.
During
many years of travelling in the country, shovelling gravel and dirt, and being
at beaches, this writer has never noticed spherical rocks of any size like the
ones mentioned in this book, except for one huge one in Winnipeg. He did not
realize what it was though and neither did the ones that found it, otherwise
there would have been a big news article about it.
One
time though, he found an aboriginal sledge hammer or mallet head amongst some
gravel at an Auto Wrecker on Springfield Road in Winnipeg, some years ago.
Chapter Five: The Photograph Section on Spherical and other
Rocks
The included photograph
section has photos of one spherical rock found by Constable Paul Sutherland of
Camperville, Manitoba; another one about the same size by Mr. Gordon McKay of
180 McKay’s Point Road, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba (about one or two
kilometres away from the first one); pieces of another one by Trecia Bersi
(formerly of Camperville area) and her friend Mr. Fred Geekie, (also formerly
of Camperville area), and a very large one by Mr. Peter Lysiuk of Winnipeg.
It
was a Mr. Ronald Chartrand (about forty years old at that time) who first
reported to the above-named constable of seeing a meteor going across the sky
over Camperville during the early morning hours (about four a. m.) while dogs
howled all over their village in the spring time, possibly in April 2000. It
was seen going slowly across the sky and then falling into a forested area on
the outskirts of Camperville but within the village limits.
Sometime
that same day, when Constable Sutherland was told about the falling object, he
found it in a large field across the west side of the road from where he used
to live as a child and where his mother still lives (at the time the rock fell
out of the sky). As a child, he and his neighbours never saw that rock in that
area before. It is next to a forested area.
After
hitting the ground on a slant, it bounced about twenty feet (six meters) away out of the dent it made on
the frozen ground and then rolled to a halt, about seventy-five feet (22.8
meters) away. As it rolled it made a furrow in the ground and it got deeper as
it slowed down to a stop.
The
meteorite, being the size of a regular beach ball, was fairly easy for him to
find, as it fell onto the snow-covered ground in a large field near the edge of
a forest. It apparently got quite dirty when it hit the snow covered fertile
grassy soft ground, as it was quite black and multicolored when he first found
it.
Sutherland
thought it was too heavy for him to lift, so he left it there for a week. He
then asked his son Clayton (about fifteen or sixteen years old at the time) to
get some help to somehow bring the strange rock home. He did so with his friend
Tony Korchinski with a trailer and an all-terrain vehicle. Since that time, the
Sutherlands washed some of the black debris off of the stone plus it was out in
the rain, sleet, sun, and snow for years before this writer examined it.
Around
the time that the constable found the rock, he was afraid that someone might
want to steal it, so he hushed things up about finding it. Mrs. Susan Bone, who
lives close by, found out about Paul finding it. She therefore informed this
writer on Saturday, April 24, 2004 (115th day) about it, when he was
sharing his interest in comets and meteorites.
The
rock was found to be about fifteen inches (38 cm.) in diameter, 162 pounds
(about 73.5 kilograms) and having a specific gravity of about 2.42. Geologists
said this stone is mostly a granite rock concretion and was most likely man
made. On moving a compass close to the rock, the arrow was deflected, thus
showing there is iron or nickel in the rock.
Geologists,
astronomers, and one instructor at the Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba
refused to believe that this stone and another one were meteorites. So this
author went about the area where the rock was found by Paul Sutherland and
sought for other witnesses of this rock falling out of the sky. This was in the
spring of 2005.
On
going door to door across Highway 20 in Pine Creek First Nations on the north
side of the field where the spherical rock was found, this writer met a Mrs.
Annette Nepinak who said that she and her son Randy (fifteen or sixteen at the
time) had also seen it falling into the field one night, possibly in the spring
of the year 2000. They said that it was a greenish falling star or meteorite
that just plummeted down into the field one night. The Nepinak house faces
south and they saw this event through their living room windows (their address
is House 10 on Highway 20, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba).
Later
that same evening of visiting the above people, a Mrs. Mildred Catcheway of
House 705, Duck Bay Road in Pine Creek First Nations, said she saw a greenish
falling star or meteorite fall that night in the same general direction of that
field.
Mr.
Allen Sutherland, Paul’s brother, heard about the meteorite that was found. He
later went to his brother’s place at 205 River Road, Camperville, Manitoba to
examine it.
Mrs.
Susan Bone who lives just down the road from Constable Sutherland’s place, said
that everyone in Camperville knew about that meteorite falling into their area
that particular night.
She
just did not know that according to geologists and astronomers there is no such
thing as a spherical meteorite. So according to them this was a none event,
that is, it did not really happen.
School
teacher Zelda Chartrand, sister of another Ronald Chartrand, said she
remembered hearing her brother mentioning about a meteorite falling into
Camperville one night some years ago.
One
of the teachers at the Minegoziibe Anishinabe School, Maryann Simpson of
Camperville, Manitoba wrote “I heard the story about the meteorite: It landed
in a field (somewhere) across the highway [#20 to Cowan, MB] from Thomas
Nepinak’s place. There’s [also] a landowner who tried to say that it fell on
his land and that he should get the meteorite [referring to Mr. Julien Cottyn
of Swan River, MB who was actually leasing Crown land for hay for his cattle].
On
7 October 2010, this writer met a Mr. Miles Nepinak (ph. 204-524-2130) in that
same area. He said that the time that Constable Sutherland’s rock fell out of
the sky, he was coming back from Dauphin, Manitoba, which is south of
Camperville. He saw that same rock fall out of the sky as others did. He
estimated that it fell into the wooded area just south of highway 20 where a
number of houses were built and are still there. He went looking for it in the
bushes and woods on the edges of the field but he could not find it.
Mr.
Gordon McKay, who found the other one in a deep pit of clay behind the arena at
Pine Creek First Nations, said that around the time that Paul Sutherland found
his meteorite, a number of meteorites were seen by others.
The
other spherical meteorite is about fourteen inches (35.6 cm) in diameter, 133
pounds (60 kilograms) and a specific gravity of about 2.61.
It
was found some time ago, possibly in the summer of 1999, about eight kilometres
north of the area where the other was found. The smaller one was found while
Mr. McKay, a landscape contractor, was digging clay out of a pit. He did not
notice the rock until starting to take away the clay that they had brought to
the surface of the eight to ten-foot pit.
While
a few kilometres south of Camperville, a Mrs. Shirley Parenteau and numerous
other people saw a light-green ball-type of meteor or comet with a greenish
tail of about six times the length of the size of the object at the front. There were also sparks at the end of the tail
and it was making a swishing noise as it went by. They saw this about 9:30 p.
m., while they were coming home from Winnipegosis at about the end of January
or beginning of February of 2005. It was the size of the moon, when it was seen
overhead in the sky. As it was going slowly toward the west of Camperville, it
must have also fallen into a forest in their area. It has not been found as
yet, as it is in quite a wilderness area.
Her
husband, Chuck Parenteau and their children saw another slow-moving falling
star, which was a “golden-green” colour in their area on about 3 April 2005.
The
bits and pieces of similar spherical rocks, as seen in the photo section, fell
apart after about one year in their home. They were about six to eight inches
(15 to 20 cm) in diameter when found and they had a glassy outer shell to them,
which soon broke down in our atmosphere of our Earth and in the dampness and
heat of their home.
The
reddish one that is attracted to a magnet was found by Mr. Fred Geekie about
twenty years ago in the Garland area, in the first gravel pit near Boggie
Creek, just before Duck Mountain Provincial Park. According to geology
instructor Peter Adamo of the University of Brandon, it appears to be made of
iron sulfide (FeS) with some magnatite (Fe3O4).
The
one with the larger black and white crystal-like pieces was found about
thirty-two miles (51 km.) south of The Pas, Manitoba, in a gravel pit, on the
west side of the road, about three miles before the spring water, south of The
Pas. This was found about August of 2003 and it too was the only rock like it
in the pit. According to instructor Peter Adamo at the University of Brandon,
it appears to be made of plagiooclase feldspar (NaAlSi3O8
to CaAl2Si2O8) and pyroxene gabbro.
One
spherical meteorite that was found by the lady, Trecia Bersi, was light and
seemingly hollow, as if it was a bubble of gas that flew off into space, with a
membrane that froze solid into a tough shell as it traveled away from the Sun.
This broke down too and had to be discarded after a few years.
The
huge three feet (about 90 cm) in diameter meteorite was actually found about
seven miles (about eleven kilometres) east of Danbury, Saskatchewan, Canada in
about 1970. It was found by Mr. Peter Lysiuk who lived some miles away. He was
working for the provincial government, building roads at the time, driving
bulldozers and other road grading equipment. He came across a large round stone
one day that was protruding about one foot (about thirty centimetres) out of
the ground. Upon digging it out, he
found that it was quite circular and spherical in shape. He therefore kept it
for a souvenir.
As pointed out in a video we made of the rocks
and in our photos, there are many holes and crevices that could have let out
gases as it cooled and was being shot out into space and into orbit. As the
inside core was probably of a heavier composition than the outside, it would
shrink at a different rate than the outside and could very likely have caused
the creases and wrinkles on the surface.
When
Mr. Lysiuk retired, he later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, he brought his large
spherical rock with him on a strong truck and placed it on a concrete pedestal
in his front yard at 191 Garden Park Drive at Templeton Avenue, Winnipeg,
Manitoba.
There
is another huge one in Winnipeg, that this author first saw before he saw the
ones found in the Camperville area. The really huge one was at the side of a
construction site, possibly near the forks area. It was about six or seven feet
tall (about two metres high).
On
later looking for it, he could not find it. Apparently the contractor never
knew the tremendous find he had. Hopefully, somebody reading this will remember
seeing it and might know where it is. If so, please contact this writer as to
its whereabouts.
Though
there were much indications of iron in the two smaller ones, there was no signs
of iron in the three feet wide one.
A
John Wiebe, of Box 53, Tolstoy, Manitoba R0A 2E0 found in about 1990, a very
interesting rock, which he believes is a meteorite and so does this writer. He
found it on his farm while digging a trench about 6 or 7 feet (183 to 213 cm)
deep in clay soil where there were no rocks or gravel. What is unusual about
this one is that it is in the shape of a watermelon and is about 10 inches (25
cm.) long.
A
Bart and Linda Prior of Neepawa have a rock similar in size as to the ones
found in the Camperville area. Their rock weighs about 168 pounds (76.36
kilograms).
A
Melody Giesbrecht of Altona, Manitoba sent this writer the photographs of the
rock at the Gretna Manitoba Cemetery. It is about fifteen inches (thirty-eight
centimetres) in diameter and was originally found in North Western Ontario.
A
Mr. Ben Andres of Steinbach, Manitoba lent this writer, pieces of a large
spherical rock that he found at one time but through the heat and cold of
Manitoba weather it broke down into many pieces.
Chapter Six: Questions and Answers
1. Question: An astronomer told me,
“There are no holes in your spherical-like rocks. Since there are no holes, how
could they have been hot and molten as you proclaim?”
Answer: As you can see by the article Photos of Former Space Objects, there
are many small holes. Some are only dents in the surface as if smaller meteors
bumped into these meteorites before they landed on the Earth.
It
could be that the astronomer’s glasses were dirty, he was not observant or did
not even want to see the holes, otherwise his schooling would have been proved
wrong. It could be that to him holes
are ones that are big enough to insert one’s fingers in as with tenpin bowling
balls. He should realize though, that if these rocks or meteorites came from
the Sun as we believe they did, then they were molten or liquid rock that even
expanded to their present size as they were shot into space and got far away
from the strong gravity of the Sun. While cooling off in space though, anything
lighter than the rock would slowly rise to the surface of the rock, especially
if they were spinning in space. Some of the lighter materials escape through
vent holes that they make when coming to the surface, like little volcanoes.
From
the fact that the rocks are not perfectly spherical, show that they must have
been quite liquid and spinning at one time. They are wider at their equators
than at their poles, as all the planets and
their respective moons.
One
of the rocks has a circumference of 120.3 cm. at its poles while it is 120.8 at
its equator. In fact this difference is essentially the same ratio to that of
our planet Earth. The smaller rock in one of the photos has a circumference of
110.7 cm. at its poles while it is 115.3 cm. at its equator. This may be
indicative of it spinning faster than the other one while it was still molten
rock.
The
heavy liquid would then slowly fill in the escape passage way. As the outside
would be cooling off faster than the inside, marks or signs of the holes can
still be seen on the surface. Some of the holes show signs of a lip of molten
rock having cooled off just before it could completely close off the hole.
There are actually hundreds of small holes on
these two large rocks, which are similar to many of the holes on lava rock.
Most of the hundreds of holes though, on examining more than one hundred photos
of the two large spherical rocks, seem to be vent holes or holes where vapour
or liquids escaped to the surface of the rock. There are possibly two or more
places where the liquid may have been iron that came to the surface, like a
little volcano but as with many of the other holes or bubbles, the iron was
kind of burnt off as it entered our atmosphere.
2. Question: Are there not signs of worms
crawling on the surface at one time?
Answer: There are similar marks on the
spherical rock at Templeton Avenue and Garden Park Drive, but they too are very
likely from the teeth of heavy equipment which was used to lift it out of the
ground. Later it was transported to his property in Saskatchewan and then later
on to its pedestal in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The
one from Pine Creek First Nations has similar scratches or gouges, which
probably got there from the back hole that was used several times on it to get
it out of the clay pit, onto a truck or trailer, off the vehicle and onto a
large boulder for display purposes.
People at times would even knock it off and
then it would be put back up on it again and again until the owner finally just
left it on the ground near the large boulder.
3. Question: How come it is so different
from the other meteorites?
Answer: One should realize, that at one
time our planet Earth was quite similar to these meteorites for it too was a
huge molten rock flying in space. As it revolved it got bigger at the equator
because of the centrifugal force of trying to send everything away from the
center of the Earth.
As
the surface of the Earth cooled, it became one huge spinning spherical rock
with a greater diameter at its equator than at its poles.
As
there was constant heat and cold as the Earth went into orbit about the Sun and
continued for thousands or millions of years of circling the Sun, the rocky
surface cracked and cracked, and weathered so much that eventually there were
enough dust and soil for plants to grow.
Furthermore,
just as our planet Earth is made up of about 105 different kinds of elements
and hundreds or thousands of compounds of these same elements, so we should
expect all the space rocks that have fallen and will be falling from the sky in
the future will be of similar elements and compounds, except for those due to
biological formations of plants and animals. These same plants and animals are made out of the same elements or
substances as can be expected to be found on any object that came from the same
parent star, that is, our Sun as did our planet Earth at one time.
4. Question: If your rocks are from space,
how come we do not find many or hardly any of them?
Answer: As noted in the above chapter;
some or maybe even most spherical meteorites start to deteriorate from the
moment they enter our atmosphere and fall on the ground. If brought in doors,
they may be slowed down or even deteriorate faster, depending on what
substances they consist. Even the big ones like our main two meteorites start
to crack apart and will eventually split apart if left in the sunshine or in
the freezing cold. The one that fell onto the clay soil was spared some deterioration
until it was put on display. The one that fell onto the prairie soil of
Saskatchewan, sunk into the soil enough so that it helped prevent it from
completely cracking to pieces in the hot sunshine.
5. Question: How can we tell whether what
you are saying is true?
Answer: You do not have to believe me but
just use common sense and basic physics and your faculties should tell you that
what we have been told by those who should know, does not add up or answer all
the properties that can be seen on these samples of rocks.
You
can also phone Constable Paul Sutherland and his son Clayton of Camperville,
Manitoba (204-524-2392 or 2270) and the Mayor of Camperville (204-524-2212)
plus Mr. Gordon MacKay of Pine Creek First Nations (204-524-2262). You may also
be able to track down Mr. Fred Geekie who may have moved back to The Pas,
Manitoba.
6. Question: Since Fred Geekie claimed he
found his spherical rocks in gravel pits, does that not prove they were formed
naturally on the Earth like the other stones and rocks in the pits?
Answer: No! If one considers the

grass land, or a forest in comparison to finding one amongst stones and rocks

Chapter Five: The Photograph Section on Spherical and other
Rocks
The included photograph
section has photos of one spherical rock found by Constable Paul Sutherland of
Camperville, Manitoba; another one about the same size by Mr. Gordon McKay of
180 McKay’s Point Road, Pine Creek First Nations, Manitoba (about one or two
kilometres away from the first one); pieces of another one by Trecia Bersi
(formerly of Camperville area) and her friend Mr. Fred Geekie, (also formerly
of Camperville area), and a very large one by Mr. Peter Lysiuk of Winnipeg.
It
was a Mr. Ronald Chartrand (about forty years old at that time) who first
reported to the above-named constable of seeing a meteor going across the sky
over Camperville during the early morning hours (about four a. m.) while dogs
howled all over their village in the spring time, possibly in April 2000. It
was seen going slowly across the sky and then falling into a forested area on
the outskirts of Camperville but within the village limits.
Sometime
that same day, when Constable Sutherland was told about the falling object, he

After

Mr.
Gordon McKay, who found the other one in a deep pit of clay behind the arena at
Pine Creek First Nations, said that around the time that Paul Sutherland found
his meteorite, a number of meteorites were seen by others.
The
other spherical meteorite is about fourteen inches (35.6 cm) in diameter, 133
pounds (60 kilograms) and a specific gravity of about 2.61.
It
was found some time ago, possibly in the summer of 1999, about eight kilometres
north of the area where the other was found. The smaller one was found while
Mr. McKay, a landscape contractor, was digging clay out of a pit. He did not
notice the rock until starting to take away the clay that they had brought to
the surface of the eight to ten-foot pit.
While
a few kilometres south of Camperville, a Mrs. Shirley Parenteau and numerous
other people saw a light-green ball-type of meteor or comet with a greenish
tail of about six times the length of the size of the object at the front. There were also sparks at the end of the tail
and it was making a swishing noise as it went by. They saw this about 9:30 p.

Her
husband, Chuck Parenteau and their children saw another slow-moving falling
star, which was a “golden-green” colour in their area on about 3 April 2005.
The
bits and pieces of similar spherical rocks, as seen in the photo section, fell
apart after about one year in their home. They were about six to eight inches
(15 to 20 cm) in diameter when found and they had a glassy outer shell to them,
which soon broke down in our atmosphere of our Earth and in the dampness and
heat of their home.
The
reddish one that is attracted to a magnet was found by Mr. Fred Geekie about
twenty years ago in the Garland area, in the first gravel pit near Boggie
Creek, just before Duck Mountain Provincial Park. According to geology
instructor Peter Adamo of the University of Brandon, it appears to be made of
iron sulfide (FeS) with some magnatite (Fe3O4).
The
one with the larger black and white crystal-like pieces was found about
thirty-two miles (51 km.) south of The Pas, Manitoba, in a gravel pit, on the
west side of the road, about three miles before the spring water, south of The
Pas. This was found about August of 2003 and it too was the only rock like it
in the pit. According to instructor Peter Adamo at the University of Brandon,
it appears to be made of plagiooclase feldspar (NaAlSi3O8
to CaAl2Si2O8) and pyroxene gabbro.
One
spherical meteorite that was found by the lady, Trecia Bersi, was light and
seemingly hollow, as if it was a bubble of gas that flew off into space, with a
membrane that froze solid into a tough shell as it traveled away from the Sun.
This broke down too and had to be discarded after a few years.
The
huge three feet (about 90 cm) in diameter meteorite was actually found about
seven miles (about eleven kilometres) east of Danbury, Saskatchewan, Canada in
about 1970. It was found by Mr. Peter Lysiuk who lived some miles away. He was
working for the provincial government, building roads at the time, driving
bulldozers and other road grading equipment. He came across a large round stone
one day that was protruding about one foot (about thirty centimetres) out of
the ground. Upon digging it out, he
found that it was quite circular and spherical in shape. He therefore kept it
for a souvenir.
As pointed out in a video we made of the rocks
and in our photos, there are many holes and crevices that could have let out
gases as it cooled and was being shot out into space and into orbit. As the
inside core was probably of a heavier composition than the outside, it would
shrink at a different rate than the outside and could very likely have caused
the creases and wrinkles on the surface.
When
Mr. Lysiuk retired, he later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, he brought his large
spherical rock with him on a strong truck and placed it on a concrete pedestal
in his front yard at 191 Garden Park Drive at Templeton Avenue, Winnipeg,
Manitoba.
There
is another huge one in Winnipeg, that this author first saw before he saw the
ones found in the Camperville area. The really huge one was at the side of a
construction site, possibly near the forks area. It was about six or seven feet
tall (about two metres high).
On
later looking for it, he could not find it. Apparently the contractor never
knew the tremendous find he had. Hopefully, somebody reading this will remember
seeing it and might know where it is. If so, please contact this writer as to
its whereabouts.
Though
there were much indications of iron in the two smaller ones, there was no signs
of iron in the three feet wide one.
A
John Wiebe, of Box 53, Tolstoy, Manitoba R0A 2E0 found in about 1990, a very
interesting rock, which he believes is a meteorite and so does this writer. He
found it on his farm while digging a trench about 6 or 7 feet (183 to 213 cm)
deep in clay soil where there were no rocks or gravel. What is unusual about
this one is that it is in the shape of a watermelon and is about 10 inches (25
cm.) long.
A
Bart and Linda Prior of Neepawa have a rock similar in size as to the ones
found in the Camperville area. Their rock weighs about 168 pounds (76.36
kilograms).
A
Melody Giesbrecht of Altona, Manitoba sent this writer the photographs of the
rock at the Gretna Manitoba Cemetery. It is about fifteen inches (thirty-eight
centimetres) in diameter and was originally found in North Western Ontario.
A
Mr. Ben Andres of Steinbach, Manitoba lent this writer, pieces of a large
spherical rock that he found at one time but through the heat and cold of
Manitoba weather it broke down into many pieces.
Chapter Six: Questions and Answers
1. Question: An astronomer told me,
“There are no holes in your spherical-like rocks. Since there are no holes, how
could they have been hot and molten as you proclaim?”
Answer: As you can see by the article Photos of Former Space Objects, there
are many small holes. Some are only dents in the surface as if smaller meteors
bumped into these meteorites before they landed on the Earth.
It
could be that the astronomer’s glasses were dirty, he was not observant or did
not even want to see the holes, otherwise his schooling would have been proved
wrong. It could be that to him holes
are ones that are big enough to insert one’s fingers in as with tenpin bowling
balls. He should realize though, that if these rocks or meteorites came from
the Sun as we believe they did, then they were molten or liquid rock that even
expanded to their present size as they were shot into space and got far away
from the strong gravity of the Sun. While cooling off in space though, anything
lighter than the rock would slowly rise to the surface of the rock, especially
if they were spinning in space. Some of the lighter materials escape through
vent holes that they make when coming to the surface, like little volcanoes.
From
the fact that the rocks are not perfectly spherical, show that they must have
been quite liquid and spinning at one time. They are wider at their equators
than at their poles, as all the planets and
their respective moons.
One
of the rocks has a circumference of 120.3 cm. at its poles while it is 120.8 at
its equator. In fact this difference is essentially the same ratio to that of
our planet Earth. The smaller rock in one of the photos has a circumference of
110.7 cm. at its poles while it is 115.3 cm. at its equator. This may be
indicative of it spinning faster than the other one while it was still molten
rock.
The
heavy liquid would then slowly fill in the escape passage way. As the outside
would be cooling off faster than the inside, marks or signs of the holes can
still be seen on the surface. Some of the holes show signs of a lip of molten
rock having cooled off just before it could completely close off the hole.
There are actually hundreds of small holes on
these two large rocks, which are similar to many of the holes on lava rock.
Most of the hundreds of holes though, on examining more than one hundred photos
of the two large spherical rocks, seem to be vent holes or holes where vapour
or liquids escaped to the surface of the rock. There are possibly two or more
places where the liquid may have been iron that came to the surface, like a
little volcano but as with many of the other holes or bubbles, the iron was
kind of burnt off as it entered our atmosphere.
2. Question: Are there not signs of worms
crawling on the surface at one time?
Answer: There are similar marks on the
spherical rock at Templeton Avenue and Garden Park Drive, but they too are very
likely from the teeth of heavy equipment which was used to lift it out of the
ground. Later it was transported to his property in Saskatchewan and then later
on to its pedestal in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The
one from Pine Creek First Nations has similar scratches or gouges, which
probably got there from the back hole that was used several times on it to get
it out of the clay pit, onto a truck or trailer, off the vehicle and onto a
large boulder for display purposes.
People at times would even knock it off and
then it would be put back up on it again and again until the owner finally just
left it on the ground near the large boulder.
3. Question: How come it is so different
from the other meteorites?
Answer: One should realize, that at one
time our planet Earth was quite similar to these meteorites for it too was a
huge molten rock flying in space. As it revolved it got bigger at the equator
because of the centrifugal force of trying to send everything away from the
center of the Earth.
As
the surface of the Earth cooled, it became one huge spinning spherical rock
with a greater diameter at its equator than at its poles.
As
there was constant heat and cold as the Earth went into orbit about the Sun and
continued for thousands or millions of years of circling the Sun, the rocky
surface cracked and cracked, and weathered so much that eventually there were
enough dust and soil for plants to grow.
Furthermore,
just as our planet Earth is made up of about 105 different kinds of elements
and hundreds or thousands of compounds of these same elements, so we should
expect all the space rocks that have fallen and will be falling from the sky in
the future will be of similar elements and compounds, except for those due to
biological formations of plants and animals. These same plants and animals are made out of the same elements or
substances as can be expected to be found on any object that came from the same
parent star, that is, our Sun as did our planet Earth at one time.
4. Question: If your rocks are from space,
how come we do not find many or hardly any of them?
Answer: As noted in the above chapter;
some or maybe even most spherical meteorites start to deteriorate from the
moment they enter our atmosphere and fall on the ground. If brought in doors,
they may be slowed down or even deteriorate faster, depending on what
substances they consist. Even the big ones like our main two meteorites start
to crack apart and will eventually split apart if left in the sunshine or in
the freezing cold. The one that fell onto the clay soil was spared some deterioration
until it was put on display. The one that fell onto the prairie soil of
Saskatchewan, sunk into the soil enough so that it helped prevent it from
completely cracking to pieces in the hot sunshine.
5. Question: How can we tell whether what
you are saying is true?
Answer: You do not have to believe me but
just use common sense and basic physics and your faculties should tell you that
what we have been told by those who should know, does not add up or answer all
the properties that can be seen on these samples of rocks.
You
can also phone Constable Paul Sutherland and his son Clayton of Camperville,
Manitoba (204-524-2392 or 2270) and the Mayor of Camperville (204-524-2212)
plus Mr. Gordon MacKay of Pine Creek First Nations (204-524-2262). You may also
be able to track down Mr. Fred Geekie who may have moved back to The Pas,
Manitoba.
6. Question: Since Fred Geekie claimed he
found his spherical rocks in gravel pits, does that not prove they were formed
naturally on the Earth like the other stones and rocks in the pits?
Answer: No! If one considers the
difficulty of ever finding a spherical rock meteorite in a hay field, prairie
grass land, or a forest in comparison to finding one amongst stones and rocks
in a gravel pit, what one would you choose? Would it not be vastly easier to
find one in a gravel pit than in other places such as in lakes? After several
years in a field or forest, the spherical rocks would probably breakdown and
become part of the soil or would soon sink too deep into the soil to be ever
found before it would breakdown and become part of the land.
If
Mr. Geekie had not found his spherical rocks when he did, it could be that they
too would have cracked and deteriorated as quickly as the ones that fell on
other areas of the land. As he was observant at looking for unusual things, he
found his first one and after that he would be constantly hoping to find
another. That is why he found them in the gravel pits.
During
many years of travelling in the country, shovelling gravel and dirt, and being
at beaches, this writer has never noticed spherical rocks of any size like the
ones mentioned in this book, except for one huge one in Winnipeg. He did not
realize what it was though and neither did the ones that found it, otherwise
there would have been a big news article about it.
One
time though, he found an aboriginal sledge hammer or mallet head amongst some
gravel at an Auto Wrecker on Springfield Road in Winnipeg, some years ago.
Chapter Seven: Some Photographs of Spherical and other Rocks
Figure 1 on the front cover of this
supplement (Chapter Two) is the first spherical rock that this writer was told
about and examined. This was photographed in the back yard of the one who found
it around the year 2000, in the spring time (March) while the ground was still
frozen in a field a short distance away, where he used to play as a child.
Note
all the vent holes and folds, as one would expect if objects like these were
ejected as molten rocks into cold space at one time.
Photo 2. Arrow is pointing to a measuring tape
that was used to find the circumferences and to indicate the size of any
crevices and small dents or holes in the rock.
