    Strange Things are Afoot at the "Circle (R)"

    O*****[============- -============]*****O

    One thing that I know for sure is that "you never can be to sure"
    what is going on and what the truth really is about certain things.

    Just a few days ago my little sister called me on the phone and said
    "I am returning your call." I set there for a moment and said "what ?"
    She said that I had called her that morning just before 8am and that
    she had just gotten the message and was returning my call. Quickly I
    questioned myself and recounted all of my actions that morning up to
    that very moment and I said "I haven't called anyone this morning, in
    fact I have only been on the phone once this morning and that was to
    answer a call from the wife, and this is the second time on the phone
    this morning."

    Gina didn't think long about what I had said before she came back
    with a "well it sure sounds like you on the recording and it gave this
    same number."

    Well it was my number all right. She played the tape for me and I
    took a recording of it. Sure enough it was my voice, and I had even
    give the time of the call and my voice phone number both of which were
    correct. It was just as if I had made the call, only one small catch, I
    had not made that call.

    Her answering machine is computerize and counts the number of calls
    that come into her office and it had counted that message as a new
    call.

    That morning she came into the office before 8am and had 3 messages
    on the first part of the tape. She listened to them and then reset the
    tape as she always does every morning. The machine always records right
    over the top of the last messages unless you tell it to save the
    message. She left the office for a little bit and came back and checked
    and the machine said there were two new messages and she played them
    back. There was my voice as big as life, it gave the time and made
    mention of our elder sister who is deceased as if she were still alive.
    This made me think it was an old message, but the tape had been
    recorded over, it had run several other messages over the top of any
    old messages that might have been at the start of the tape. If that had
    been an old message it would have been from last December and that
    would have made it at least 4 months old. The next thing is that the
    computer counts all of the calls that come in since the last time they
    were reviewed and it said there was two new calls which counted "my"
    message as a new call.

    The next message after "mine" was from her husband and after it the
    machine gave the date and time of the call. We noticed that after my
    message it had not given the date and time after the call but it was my
    voice that had given the time of the call. This was unusual to say the
    least. It had counted it as a call, yet had not posted the time and
    date after the call. It played it and counted it as a call so why
    didn't it put the time and date after it as it normally does ? Right
    after that was her husband and it counted the time and date as normal.

    How could an old message come through an old tape as if it were a new
    message ? How could the computer count it as a new call and not put the
    time and date after the call ? The time was right on the money and was
    given by "my voice." Had I actually made the call the machine would
    have placed the time and date after the call and there would have been
    little doubt that I had made the call myself and just "forgotten about
    it" or perhaps was lying and saying that I had not made the call when
    in fact I had. The oddity itself indicates that something out of the
    normal had taken place though and gave certain evidence to prove that I
    was telling the truth and I had not made that call.

    The fact that her husband had called right after my "call" had proven
    very close to the fact when the call had been recorded and it was right
    in the correct time slot.

    I told her of a UFO crash that had not been to many days ago at which
    certain people had gathered to talk about the event. Certain other
    people were seen and some even talked to others there and later when
    they were contacted by these people about the crash they knew nothing
    about it. They said they had not been there at all and could prove it.
    So how is it these other people swear that they saw and even talked
    with certain of these other people if they were not there ? And what
    about the UFO crash ? Did the thing just up and vanish without a trace
    and with no other "media" reports ? Was it as if it had never actually
    happened ? If so then what did happen ?

    So strange things are afoot at the "Circle (R)" and if you see or
    hear from someone who later says they were not there or had not tried
    to contact you, and don't know what you are talking about don't be
    surprised.
