When I was stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky as an Army Instructor for OPFOR (Opposing Forces) Soviet Threat, I met up with Lt. Beale Henderson in one of my classes. Lt. Henderson and I, both went to Military Intelligence School in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The lieutenant and I had a lot in common. We were both interested in UFOs. The lieutenant was from Shiloh, Illinois and told me about Monks Mound in Collinsville, Illinois (located at the Cahokia Mounds). Monks Mound is a very strange place, it was built by the early Natchez Indians of the Lower Mississippi Valley. At one time 20,000 people lived at Cahokia. When explorers came upon the mounds, the people that inhabited Cahokia had already vanished. Where did they go? Explorers discovered 120 mounds and in the present day, 68 of those mounds are preserved. The trappist monks farmed terraces along the mounds in the early 1800s. Some mounds became weathered and fell in ruin. When the lieutenant related all of this information to me, I knew I wanted to see these mounds. I wanted to know where these mysterious mound builders disappeared to.
Egyptian pyramids as we all know were built with stone, these mounds were built with soil and clay. The lieutenant was from Shiloh, Illinois which isn't too far from Collinsville. The lieutenant heard stories that UFOs were at times seen near the mounds. One story the lieutenant told me that a storekeeper named Luke from Shiloh told Lt. Henderson that he saw a boomerang shaped UFO hover over Monks Mound for a couple of minutes and then shot straight up in the night sky. Luke said this happened in 1975 on a hot Summer night. When Lt. Henderson and I visited the mounds, I felt an electric sensation near Monks Mound. The electrical sensation lasted about 5 minutes. A local historian told us that the mounds were built for the worshipping of the sun. A bearded god in a flowing robe came and visited the mound builders. This god instructed the mound builders to live in peace and harmony and to build these earthern works for the gods. The mound builders even built a "woodhenge" with 48 wooden posts that create a 410-foot diameter circle.
I was totally fascinated at what I was seeing at the Monks Mound. I pondered in my thoughts on how in England you have Stonehenge and here in Illinois you have something similar called "woodhenge". There must have been some kind of communication with the Stonehenge builders in England and the "woodhenge" builders in America. Then you have the mounds and pyramids that are found all over the world. Mounds in America, mounds in South America, mounds in China, mounds in Japan. What was the purpose of these mounds and why were mounds created all around the world? Because I felt an electrical sensation at Monks Mound, I believe that Cahokia is an energy source and a leyline convergence center. I believe where leylines crossover are energy sources for UFOs. This crossover area becomes a sacred site for native people and a "gas station" for extraterrestrials to fuel up on energy. Legend has it, that when the bearded god in a robe left Cahokia, he told the mound builders to love each other. When the god left and didn't come back, the native people of this land went back to human sacrifice and war.
The lieutenant told me that not only UFOs frequent this area, but it's also haunted by ghostly apparitions. Locals have seen shadow figures and apparitions of what looks like native Americans walking the land. The lieutenant told me that the first time he visited the site with his parents, he was a little boy, about 8 years old. As he broke away from his parents for a few minutes, he heard a disembodied male voice talking through his right ear. The lieutenant was not able to make out the language, but it was enough to scare him. He immediately ran over to his mother's side and grabbed her hand. Yes, the lieutenant was a scared little boy. The lieutenant says that with the human sacrifices and war, many people died on this land. Because of that, it would only be logical that the spirits of this land do not rest and continue to haunt Cahokia.
