Once
Upon a Time in Land Far, Far Away: Turkey
by Farah YURDOZU GORE
The First Creation Stories: The Alien Connection
As a UFO investigator
I always considered myself lucky to be born and raised
in Turkey. Our land, which is also known as Anatolia,
has been a very rich cultural, multinational geographical
bridge throughout thousands of years: the classic “crossroads”
civilization. Turkish people have always viewed it as
an interplanetary crossroads as well. The widespread interest
in UFO’s that took hold in the western world in
the last half of the Twentieth Century has been a regular
part of Turkey’s folkloric fabric for countless
generations.
It’s
possible to see the very early contacts between aliens and
earth people in ancient Turkish creation mythology.
One of the creation stories begins with the description
of earth:
Now there is no earth,
There is only water, only endless water
Clear to the four corners of nothing
Within this brightness, within this blankness,
Is only God Kara-han, the Gander flying lonely.
One
day Oguz Kagan was praying to God. It got dark. And a
piece of light fell to earth from the night sky. The light
was brighter than the moon. Inside of the light there
was a girl. Oguz Kagan saw the girl, she was alone. She
was wearing a spark on her head, a spark that was brighter
than the North Star.
Oguz Kagan
liked the beautiful girl. They slept together and she
got pregnant. The next day while Oguz Kagan was sitting
in his tent he was visited by a male wolf. The wolf came
from a ball of light which suddenly appeared in the tent.
Oguz
Kagan is a human being from the earth, and he makes love
with an alien woman. The story is reminiscent of the famous
1957 Villas Boas case, in which a young Brazilian farmer
was abducted and by aliens and sexually used. The aliens
let him know that the goal of the abduction was to impregnate
one of their own by Villas Boas.
Additionally,
in many contemporary abduction cases we know that sometimes
the episode begins with the sudden appearance of a wolf
in the abductees’ presence. For old Turkish tribes
the wolf was a very important and noble animal. The symbol
of the wolf was everywhere, in visual arts such as painting,
pottery or carpets, or in the lyrics of songs. This is an
element of Shamanic tradition shared by the Native Americans
of North America, to whom the wolf is a powerful symbol.
The importance of the wolf could point out a cosmic connection
to Sirius, which is known as Dog Star. And Oguz Kagan wasn’t
the only one who was visited by the wolf. Here is another
tale:
A
Turkish hakan (tribe leader) had two beautiful daughters.
They were such gorgeous girls that no man from earth was
worthy to marry them. Hakan had a dream. In his dream he
was told that his daughters were made to marry to Gods,
and a new nation would rise from this union. Hakan built
a high tower and put the girls there. They started to pray
and wait for the Gods. And one day the Sky-God they had
been awaiting arrived. The God was in the shape of a male
wolf. The girls realized that he was the one that they had
to marry. The wolf took the girls with him. They got married,
and from this marriage was born the Oguz and Uygur Turks.
Another
story from the Uygur Turks:
There
was a huge tree between two rivers. One day from the sky
a light landed over the tree. With the light, music started
to play. At
the same time the trunk of the tree was swelling out and
getting larger. The tree was opened and inside there were
five rooms. Bugu-han the leader of the Uygurs was born from
these rooms (or he came out from there).
Something
landed from sky with light and music. Here a tale from Turkey’s
ancient tradition anticipates another tale which has become
a modern classic of UFO lore: “Close Encounters of
the Third Kind”, in which the flying saucer sends
code messages with color and music.
Mysterious Entities from Another Dimension
Every
westerner is familiar with the story of Alladin, whose magic
lamp contained a genie. But to Turkish people, Genies are
much more than characters from fairy tales, or ‘60’s
TV. And even a casual student of UFO’s will see the
parallels between Genies and the characteristics we attribute
to aliens. Genies, or the djinns, are a very important part
of Turkish mystical life. According to the Koran they are
created by the same God who created all the universe, galaxies
and life. Genies come from the same source as us, but they
have very important differences from human beings. First of all, the Koran says that they
are made of “fire which has no smoke.” What
could it be, that fire that has no smoke? A kind of electricity,
pure energy?
Djinns
belong to another dimension which is not physical. But they
have full access to our dimension. They can see us, talk
to us and affect our minds. Opposite to humans, genies have
a very long life, 300-400 years by our measurements. They
can travel back and forth in time, and they are extremely
intelligent beings. They don’t have a physical body.
Their body is a kind of etheric formation, and they can
change their shape into other temporary physical bodies
such as an animal, sometimes a cat, or a dog… or sometimes
a perfect looking man or woman.
According
to Turkish tradition, djinns have their own social and family
life and their own belief system. They get married, have
kids and often they like to have close relationships with
us. They visit us in our bedrooms during the nighttime.
And they enjoy playing with human children. They abduct
or tempt them from the bed, take them somewhere to play
together, and bring them back to bed. The next morning the
child wakes up with a brown color substance on his hands.
The brown color paint or substance is a very clear symptom
of being abducted by the genies. Today many abduction victims
find a strange brown paint on their bodies and sometimes
on their clothes in the morning after the abduction. We
have lots of questions but for now answers are limited.
The only thing we know is it’s a trace of alien abduction.
These
shape-shifter djinns are also interested in having sexual
relationships with adults. Attractive male-looking genies
make love to human women, and beautiful female-looking ones
visit human men in the night time. Turkish families share
the stories of their visits-- this is not a secret, to be
hidden from others-- as the genies are an accepted part
of our belief system.
Cappadocia: Stargate of the Ancients
Mysteries, unexplained phenomena and paranormal cases are
always connected to history and historical places of Turkey.
Almost every region has a particular myth, a sacred place,
or an invisible guardian being. Cappadocia is one of these
places. Geographically it’s situated in central Turkey,
close the capital city Ankara. It’s in the east of
Konya that is defined by Aksaray to the west, Kayseri to
the east, Nigde to the south and Kirsehir to the north. Cappadocia is a very wide area which is
famous for its “Fairy Chimneys”, strange rock
formations have been sculpted by wind and rain.
This is what we see on the surface… but Cappadocia
also has a hidden, underground world consisting of several
underground cities. The underground cities Kaymakli and Derinkuyu are the most famous
ones in the area.
Between December 15, 1981 and September 1982
the Nigde-Aksaray region was a very busy place for UFO
sightings. Hundreds of UFO sightings and some landings
were witnessed by local people, press, and TV personnel.
People watched this UFO activity in the night and in the
daytime. But especially in the night groups of UFOs showed
themselves in the sky. Astronomers and scientists denied
the UFO visits. For them any bright light in the sky was
Venus, day and night. UFO investigators tried to understand
the message… but still today nobody knows the reason
of that intense UFO activity.
The
following well-documented case is one of the hundreds of
remarkable UFO sightings over the Cappadocia region:
Witness: Mr.
Ertugrul Demirci, cab driver
Place : Nevsehir-Aksaray
highway
Date :
Jan, 16, 1982
In the night of the sighting, Mr.Demirci was traveling
from Nevsehir to Aksaray in his car. Suddenly he noticed
a very bright source of light at the right side of the road.
First he thought that it could be a cab. But soon he saw that the thing was a huge egg shaped object.
He stopped his car and turned off the lights. At the same
moment the lights of the egg shaped object went off too.
Mr.Demirci turned on the lights of his car. The object turned
on its lights and it started to take off slowly. While it
was rising into the sky the lights got stronger. It grew
so bright that Mr.Demirci had to close his eyes. When he
opened his eyes, egg shaped object was flying with an incredible
speed in the sky.
According
to some writers there is a connection between UFO visits
and Cappadocia’s underground cities. No one is certain
as to the number of underground communities that exist in
the region or even by whom they were built. The two largest
communities that have been unearthed are located at Kaymakli
and Derinkuyu.. It is thought that the Hittites may have
excavated the first few levels in the rock when they came
under attack from the Phrygians around 1200 BC. However,
some archaeologists believe that the oldest caves, those
hewn with stone rather than metal tools, are substantially
older. These chambers were later expanded into an extensive
complex by Christians escaping the Arab invasions of the
7th and 8th centuries.
Meanwhile
some other investigators think that underground cities were
built by aliens who had high technology to carve the hard
stones and to create a hidden architectural masterpiece
for some reason…
These cities challenge modern notions of the
capabilities of our ancient ancestors. Seven to eight floors
under the surface a large complex of stairs, large rooms,
entrances give access to elaborate subterranean systems
with airshafts, waste shafts, wells, passageways and chimneys.
The upper levels were used for living quarters while the
lower levels were used for storage, wine making, flour grinding
and worshipv. There is a connecting tunnel between Kaymakli
and Derinkuyu.
It’s
impossible to ignore the mystical past of Cappadocia. The
region has a very strong energy which causes various paranormal
activities. Some investigators think that there is a connection
between Cappadocia’s underground cities and Agartha.
Agartha is another hidden, mystical underground world set
up by “alien people” under the Himalayas. And
according to these investigators Cappadocia is a kind of
time gate to other dimensions. UFOs are not coming from
the sky: they’re coming from this time-gate to visit
us. A kind of stargate… ?
Who knows?
There
is something we know definitely: from up or from down, “they”
have been coming to visit us for a long time. Still today UFO investigators visit Cappadocia
with the hope that some evidence will descend from the sky.
But maybe we shouldn’t wait for the evidence from
the sky... maybe the biggest evidence was carved on the
solid soil of this planet long ago.
The parallels between
Turkish tradition and today’s knowledge of UFO’s,
aliens and abductions, indicate we have long been face
to face with an invisible intelligence that influences
our lives. Their names have variations, but their actions
are the same. Genies and aliens have similarities in characteristics
and behavior. Are they coming from the same dimension
and the same race? Do they need our help to survive, or did
we get their help for thousands of years and are unware
of this reality? Who feeds whom? What kind of a secret
bond is there between us? It’s hard to confess that what we
know is not enough to explain all the process. What we
are looking for in far distances... with satellites...
with radio telescopes... with signals... maybe it’s
very close to us... and while our eyes are searching space
for an alien signal, we are missing the close reality
which is living between us... in our cities... our neighborhoods,
here and now.
