Mountains are universally associated with deities and spirits. History suggests part of the reason native peoples considered Mt. Graham “holy” involved unusual heavenly activity there in ancient times, when UFOs called “spirit lights” moved through the sky, something that seems to have

contributed to their attribution of “powers” to the solar system and natural phenomena. Interestingly, the base of the mountain hosts the Saint Paisius Orthodox Monastery, a women’s cenobitic community dedicated to intercession by the alleged Marian phenomenon. As biblical Christians, we do not

accept Marian dogmas. Our position is that the so-called Marian apparition is likely one and the same as the deceptive UFO phenomenon. For example, note this description of the October 13, 1917

Fatima sighting witnessed by an estimated seventy thousand people who had stood in the rain all day to see it, as recorded by Vallée:

The sun appeared as a disk of brilliant silver, “a weird disk that turns rapidly on its own axis and casts off beams of colored lights in all directions. Shafts of red light shot out from the rim of the sun and colored the clouds, the earth, the trees, the people; then shafts of violet, of blue, of yellow and of other colors followed in succession.” These colors have been described by an objective skeptic as “monochromatic sectors,” and they were definitely revolving. The reports speak of a flat disk rather than a globe. After a while it stopped spinning and “plunged downward in zig-zag fashion toward the earth and the horrified spectators.”… Finally the disk reversed its motion and disappeared into the sun, the real sun, once again fixed and dazzling in the sky. The astounded crowd suddenly realized that their clothes were dry.[92]

While the Orthodox presence at Mt. Graham is not officially under the Roman Pontiff, it does share many heterodox Marian doctrines, including the belief that apparitions like Fatima are

visitations by Jesus’ deceased mother.[93]

It also affirms problematic doctrines like Mary’s

perpetual virginity[94]

despite the Scriptures’ many explicit attestations to Jesus’ siblings (Mark 6:3;

Matthew 13:55–56; Galatians 1:19). The Saint Paisius Monastery home school for teenage girls is dedicated to the “Protection of the Theotokos,” meaning the protection afforded them through the intercessions of the Theotokos (“Virgin Mary”). Yet, as addressed in our former work, Petrus

Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here, Scripture states there is only one mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5). Perhaps Mt. Graham’s association with Marian idolatry is more than coincidence?

Arizona is quite famous for UFO activity. Witnessed by thousands of people across Nevada and Arizona, as well as the Mexican state of Sonora, the Phoenix lights UFO was the United States’

largest mass sighting—not just because of the sheer number of witnesses, but because of the quality of their testimony. Then-acting Governor Fife Symington has testified in writing:

Between 8:00 and 8:30 on the evening of March 13, 1997, during my second term as

governor of Arizona, I witnessed something that defied logic and challenged my reality: a massive, delta-shaped craft silently navigating over the Squaw Peak in the Phoenix

Mountain preserve. A solid structure rather than an apparition, it was dramatically large, with a distinctive leading edge embedded with lights as it traveled the Arizona skies. I still don’t know what it was. As a pilot and a former Air Force officer, I can say with certainty that this craft did not resemble any man-made object I had ever seen.[95]

Documented activity like this suggests something inherently strange about the area, begging the question, “Does Arizona host a dimensional portal or wormhole?” While extradimensionality is addressed generally in chapter 13, needless to say, the area provides a uniquely hospitable climate for the well-yoked marriage between Jesuits and extraterrestrials. According to Apache lore, this geographic proclivity toward the peculiar has ancient roots.

The San Carlos Apache have preserved an ancient tale concerning a race of giants known as the Jian-du-pids, who were judged and destroyed by the Great Father, the sun.[96]

In fact, the enormous Phoenix metropolitan area, covering Maricopa and Pinal counties, is often referred to as the “Valley of the Sun.” According to the legend, a miniature race of three-foot-tall Indians called the Tuar-tums lived in the valley as peaceful farmers. They prospered until one day they were invaded by the Jian-du-pids, described as goliaths who used tree limbs for toothpicks. These Nephilim, led by a massive man named Evilkin, allegedly came from the Northeast and were headed south to their home beyond the Gulf of Baja. The giants nearly wiped out the Tuar-tums before they hid themselves underground in the mountains and Father Sun threw a huge fireball that seared the monstrous Nephilim into the scorched mountain rock. While elements of the tale are obviously mythological, it has a remarkable thematic coherence with Genesis 6.

The Apache Creation Myth is also interesting in this regard, as a particular version involves the

“One Who Lives Above,” who descended in a flying disc at the start of Creation. “In the beginning

nothing existed—no earth, no sky, no sun, no moon, only darkness was everywhere,” the legend starts before noting that “suddenly from the darkness emerged a disc, one side yellow and the other side white, appearing suspended in midair. Within the disc sat a bearded man, Creator, the One Who Lives Above.”[97]

While no single Apache Creation Myth dominates all tribal beliefs, most groups share key

precepts as well as symbolism within their oral histories. Besides the creator who rides in a heavenly disc, a Dragon with the power of speech turns up, bargaining with men, as well as supernatural

gateways associated with mountains (ch’íná’itíh) through which spirit beings can come. Sometimes these spirits are represented by the Owl (to an Apache Indian, dreaming of an Owl signified

approaching death, while the Hopis see the Burrowing Owl [Ko’ko, “Watcher of the dark”] as the god of the dead and the underground), which is fascinating, given the connection with “alien

abduction” accounts in which the Owl is a disguise wherein the abductee is led to believe the bug-eyed alien in their memory was actually an Owl they had seen somewhere and had lodged in their memory. Throughout Christian history, owls have been associated with sorcery and flying witches, and the source of these legends seems to mirror many abduction tales, which we shall consider later.

Suffice it to say that these ancient native ideas involving flying discs, flying creators, spirit lights, owls, a talking dragon or great serpent, and even supernatural gateways tied to mountain ranges began long before the Vatican cast its eyes on Mt. Graham.
