Yes! This is a great topic.
In the early 1950s, Aime Michell noticed that some UFO sightings fell in straight lines when plotted on a map:
Then in 1958, abductee Buck Nelson wrote of UFOs travelling along "lines of force" in his account My Trip to Mars, the Moon, and Venus:
The whole situation gets bogged down in the question: What is a ley line? Are they lines indicating astronomical epidermises, like the path of the sun or its alignment to the moon? Or perhaps they are lines connecting various interesting geological features, or places and routes of human significance? Maybe some kind of spiritual highways, like the German idea of Geisterwege ('ghost roads')? Or, what I find fascinating -- a result of geological electromagnetic fields and telluric currents? Perhaps all of that!
The issue of causality also comes in to play. Do these lines exist because of the formations and significance of the points along them, or are those points influenced to be in that location along the lines by some deeper cohering force?
It's a great topic and I could chase rabbits here all day! Thanks for bringing it up!
In the early 1950s, Aime Michell noticed that some UFO sightings fell in straight lines when plotted on a map:
Quote:Michel published Mystérieux Objets Célestes in 1958, which covered the 1954 wave of UFOs in France. After the publication with help from Jacques Bergier, he devised a theory called Orthoténie [fr] (English: orthoteny) in a corner of a restaurant booth. Michel postulated so-called "alignments": straight lines that corresponded to large circles traced and centered on the earth. Michel claimed that UFO sightings could be clustered along these grid lines. He proposed, for example, that there was a line known as “BaVic,” pointing from Bayonne to Vichy, where, out of nine UFO observations cited in the press on 24 September 1954, six aligned (Bayonne, Lencouacq, Tulle, Ussel, Gelles, Vichy).
Then in 1958, abductee Buck Nelson wrote of UFOs travelling along "lines of force" in his account My Trip to Mars, the Moon, and Venus:
Quote:Another reason they come to my place, or rather this part of the country, is that the magnetic currents are just right here. (This is a section of the country where there are caves; it might mean something to a scientist).
The spacemen tell me that the places where the magnetic currents cross is comparable to a cross roads sign. These currents or lines of force are named and numbered. The moon has an effect on their travel also. I suppose that might be when they are near here, but really I don’t know. They didn’t tell me just how far the moons effects reach. Th technicalities and distances would not have meant much to me anyhow.
