Gargoyles

As I said previously, I referred to these mysterious fast flying black boomerang 'things' as "Gargoyles" because I saw them as 'sneaky' evasive and verging on threatening. After the one that had small lights spaced along its front leading edge, and dived straight for me resulting in me having a severe adrenaline rush, I was fully convinced that what ever they were, they were real.

Since first authoring this web page, I decided to do a Google search on 'Gargoyle" to see what I could learn. Following are a few extracts from various web pages containing a small amount of information. Most web sites were selling art pieces in the shape of Gargoyles. However some sites contained photos of Gargoyles on old buildings. This was a real hobby for some and I can understand why. The origins and history of Gargoyles would be interesting. The question I have to ask is, "were they real to the medieval people?" I think they may have been. The Ancient Greeks also spoke of Gargoyles.

Consider this!

Because people of ancient times spent more time outside than we do to-day, I would expect them to be much more aware and alert to any movement or unusual occurrences that may happen around them. No City lights to brighten the night skies would make the sky very dark and full of stars. The ancients were very aware of the Planet movements and progression of the seasons as has been demonstrated through Stone Circles and legends of the times. The 'Astronomers' of the day would probably have spent many hours a week observing the skies with the naked eye plotting the movement of the Stars. It may have been these people that first observed these same fast moving dark objects and studied them as best they could. They would describe them as mystical 'Beings' for they knew nothing of flying machines as we do to day.

Are these same 'Gargoyles' flying the night skies today as in ancient times? I think it is quite feasible. I know of only three other persons that describe seeing these same objects. Until more witness start describing them, they remain a UFO type that stands alone and hidden from the typical 'accepted' UFO described phenomena. I speak of them here only because of my certainty that they are real. I have seen them! ( There is a similar phenomena of the same boomerang shape made of dull white light that I call "Rods of light")

I have noticed that they only appear when other types of UFO observed confirm UFO activity. During 1997-98, these "Gargoyles" were most prevalent, as was other UFO activity. When the UFO activity decreased during 1999 to today, the only time the "Gargoyles" are seen is during "Waves" of UFO during each year and for a few months only. I have made it my job to record this UFO activity on video. I use video as a 'Research Tool' to record the activity showing Time and Date of each event. This way, I can keep practical records with visual evidence.

Assuming what I say so far is correct than what would this mean, and how does it effect us? Lest us just toss around a few ideas.

  1. The "Gargoyles" could be a "Watch Dog" for the UFO. Keeping a lookout for any danger that may effect the UFO.
  2. "Gargoyles" could be the 'Guardian' for the UFO
  3. Or protecting us from the UFO.
  4. Or an ancient seperate phenomonon of an ancient living entity originating form Space or Underground.

Originally, gargoyles were used as decorative coverings for waterspouts, to divert rainwater away from the building, but later came into use as decorations for the higher reaches of churches and cathedrals. The name seems to have originated from the myth of La Gargouille from France, the word itself meaning 'throat', or 'gargle'. The earliest original waterspouts, pouring a cascade of rain, sounded as though they were gargling, so this may have been how they were named. These creatures, it was said, kept an eye on the good people of the villages.

Throughout the Middle ages, gargoyles were the lofty residents of the higher reaches of many Churches and Cathedrals.

Myth of the Gargoyle

Gargoyles were known to stand guard and ward off evil spirits and frighten away other creatures that sought harm. The more hideous and frightening in appearance is all the better to scare off all sorts of dark creatures. At night they come to life and protect while one is asleep and vulnerable. And the winged gargoyles can fly around the whole area and cover an entire village or town as well as the church. As the sun rises the Gargoyles resume their place once more to serve as guardians during the day when their fierce visage can be seen and frighten off those that see their faces.

One other myth dating back to ancient Greece is that a gargoyle can purify any tainted water. Seeing as how many served a functional purpose as rainspouts, it was thought that when it rained they purified the water descending from the skies and prevented diseases and foul water supplies.

Curiously, almost all (of the old ones at least) are individuals, no two are the same. And perhaps significantly although gargoyle-like roof drainage has been found from Ancient Greek and Roman times. Almost all of what we think of as classic gargoyles are found in what were the last bastions of Celtic resistance to Christianity shortly before or during early medieval times when they first really appeared.
