C'era una volta un signore chiamato Zebra e detto Horace Reid, che si guadagnava la vita nella Chicago del 1965, leggendo i giornali ed ascoltando la radio, alla ricerca di determinate notizie. Era uno strano tipo di spulciatore, il signor Zebra. I titoli da infarto sulla guerra nel Vietnam e la rovente atmosfera ai confini indocinesi non lo interessavano, nemmeno gli angosciosi interrogativi sul contrastato fidanzamento di Beatrice d'Olanda valevano a dargli un brivido di deliziosa angoscia. In compenso, il nostro amico, sconvolto, s'appellava al cielo per trafiletti del genere: «Nei pressi d'una cittadina dell'Illinois, il professor Forrestor, della State Normal University, ha localizzato con i suoi allievi della facoltà d'archeologia, un nuovo tumulo indiano risalente a 400 anni fa. Sono stati portati alla luce diversi scheletri, sepolti con armi, monili ed oggetti vari. Si tratta di reperti notevoli, se pur non sensazionali, a cui ha fatto però seguito una scoperta del tutto insolita: quella del corpo d'un pellerossa con un braccio solo, avvinghiato ad un vaso di coccio pieno di pennies che recano impressa la testa d'indiano. «Il professor Forrestor ha dapprima pensato d'esser stato vittima d'uno scherzo dei suoi allievi, i quali hanno però energicamente protestato. Un accurato esame ha infatti permesso d'accertare che sia il pellerossa monco, sia il vaso contenente le monete, sono stati sepolti contemporaneamente. Esperti dell'Università dell'Illinois

In fact there are numerous genuine texts from the Indian tradition that contain data on this subject: the problem is that such texts are often incorrectly or inaccurately quoted by some authors to support theories that are opposite to the teachings explicitly presented in those same original texts.

  • Peter Kolosimo
    Peter Kolosimo 1 NON È TERRESTRE Peter Kolosimo, autore dei fortunati Terra senza tempo e Ombre sulle stel- le, affronta in questo libro una nuova ricerca, che non mancherà di appas- sionare i lettori: l´archeologia spaziale. Egli sostiene che l´uomo è un anello di una catena evolutiva iniziata «altrove» nel cosmo e continuata poi sulla Terra, e le prove che adduce a favore dell´esistenza di questi nostri «ante- nati e fratelli» portano a conclusioni sorprendenti. Un teschio di bisonte preistorico ucciso da un´arma da fuoco: gli esperti non hanno dubbi di fronte a questo enigma balistico, il foro nell´osso è stato prodotto da un proiettile, non da una lancia né da un sasso. Un altro esempio, che fa medi- tare su inquietanti interrogativi: nella caverna del Vallonet sono stati rin- venuti scheletri di elefanti, di balene, di macachi, ecc. risalenti all´inizio del Quaternario; questi animali non si sono certo ammassati spontaneamente in una cavità di 25 metri quadrati, qualcuno deve averli trascinati lì... E an- cora: il «Lunar Orbiter 2» ha fotografato sul nostro satellite alcune «guglie» la cui disposizione, secondo un sistema basilare coordinato, fa pensare a vere e proprie costruzioni ad opera di esseri intelligenti. Se fosse stato il caso a produrle ― aggiunge l´autore ― ci troveremmo di fronte a qualcosa d´ancor più strabiliante della rappresentazione grafica del teorema di Pita- gora, realizzata da una scimmia alla quale avessimo regalato un gessetto. I dati riferiti da Kolosimo sono innumerevoli, le sue tesi sostenute con prove analizzate con meticolosa precisione: la sua proposta ne risulta affascinan- te.

  • Flying Saucers Would Never Land in Lucca: the Fiction of Italian Science Fiction1
    *Please click on ‘Supporting Material’ link in left column to access image files* Flying Saucers Would Never Land in Lucca: The Fiction of Italian Science Fiction1 Arielle Saiber Fig. 1: Giordano Pitt, Storie di domani (Milan: Fratelli Fabbri, 1963). Reproduced with permission from Giuseppe Lippi, ed. Dalla terra alle stelle. Tre secoli di Fantacienza e utopie italiane (Milan: Biblioteca di via Senato, 2005). Worse, perhaps, than calling Italian science fiction “derivative”—as has often been recited by science fiction readers and critics—is thinking it does not, or could not, exist. Consult a science fiction (hereafter, “SF”) anthology in English, the “it” language of SF, from any period and you will be hard-pressed to find a single author from Italy (see Appendix I). The same goes for encyclopedias of SF and companions of critical studies of SF written in English, where French, German, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, and Latin American authors are, on the other hand, discussed (see Appendix II). A large number of monographs in English on international SF has been published in the last few decades, including SF from Germany and Austria (The Black Mirror [Rottensteiner 2008]) and Latin America and Spain (Cosmos Latinos [Bell and Molina-Gavilán 2003]), as well as African American SF (Dark Matter [Thomas 2000]), feminist SF (Women of Other Worlds [Merrick and Williams 1999]), gay SF (Kindred Spirits [Elliot 1984]), Canadian SF (Northern Stars [Hartwell and Grant 1994]), Russian and Eastern European SF (Beneath the Red Star Zebrowski [1996]),
