The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
321
I
think
of
the
Dominants
as
I
think
of
persons--not
meaning
that
they
are
real
persons--not
meaning
that
we
are
real
persons--
Or
the
Old
Dominant
and
its
jealousy,
and
its
suppression
of
all
things
and
thoughts
that
endangered
its
supremacy.
In
reading
discussions
of
papers,
by
scientific
societies,
I
have
often
noted
how,
when
they
approached
forbidden--or
irreconcilable--subjects,
the
discussions
were
thrown
into
confusion
and
ramification.
It's
as
if
scientific
discussions
have
often
been
led
astray--as
if
purposefully--as
if
by
something
directive,
hovering
over
them.
Of
course
I
mean
only
the
Spirit
of
all
Development.
Just
so,
in
any
embryo,
cells
that
would
tend
to
vary
from
the
appearances
of
their
era
are
compelled
to
correlate.
In
Nature,
90-169,
Charles
Tilden
Smith
writes
that,
at
Chisbury,
Wiltshire,
England,
April
8,
1912,
he
saw
something
in
the
sky--
"--unlike
anything
that
I
had
ever
seen
before."
"Although
I
have
studied
the
skies
for
many
years,
I
have
never
seen
anything
like
it."
He
saw
two
stationary
dark
patches
upon
clouds.
The
extraordinary
part:
They
were
stationary
upon
clouds
that
were
rapidly
moving.
They
were
fan-shaped--or
triangular--and
varied
in
size,
but
kept
the
same
position
upon
different
clouds
as
cloud
after
cloud
came
along.
For
more
than
half
an
hour
Mr.
Smith
watched
these
dark
patches--
His
impression
as
to
the
one
that
appeared
first:
That
it
was
"really
a
heavy
shadow
cast
upon
a
thin
veil
of
clouds
by
some
unseen
object
away
in
the
west,
which
was
intercepting
the
sun's
rays."
