| Map in Book Authored by George Fairbanks Published in 1881. |
In my notes on old coin sites are many in the St.Augustine area. I won't attempt to detail those, but I will give you a link to the book Antiquities and St. Augustine Florida by George Fairbanks (1881). While you are probably already familiar with much of the history of St. Augustine, you will probably find something interesting in the book such as the old map shown above and others like it.
Here is the link to that book, which you can read free online.

- The 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, which sold for $10 million in 2013.
- The 1787 Brasher Doubloon, which sold for $9.36 million in 2018.
- The 1343 Edward III Florin, which is estimated to be worth close to 5 million GBP.
- The 723 Umayyad Gold Dinar, which sold for $6 million in 2011.

Wednesday congress held a hearing on UFOs. It appears that UFOs (or UAPs) are not only accepted as real by many in government now, but there was also testimony that the government has possession of wrecked UFOs (any treasure onboard?) and also has found biologic nonhumans.
Given the big UFO news, I couldn't pass up revisiting my Treasure Coast UFO sighting.

| Unidentified Object Just Above and To the Right of the Lip of This Bottle. |
The Tic-Tac shaped object showed up in my photo. Below I zoomed in on it.

Of course it could be something else, but to me it looks a lot like the Tic-Tac UAP. It even has some wavey lines around it, which is common on UAP photos.
I originally posted this several years ago after discovering the object in my photo, but these days such things seem to be taken more seriously than they were back then.
My brother-in-law (now deceased) was a big UFO fan and thought I was very fortunate to catch a photo of a UFO.
He, along with his mother and my wife had a sighting back sometime in the early 1970s. It was a huge black square, that sounded like one described by one of the witnesses to congress yesterday. It stood motionless and soundless over them for a while before disappearing. About a year before he passed away, I asked him to draw a picture of it for me, but I lost track of the drawing. I discounted that sighting as probably something else when I was told about it, but these days it seems more possible.
Of course, and the government, "scientific community" and public talks about the sightings mostly in terms of technology and biology.
There are others, however, who talk about them in terms of spirit, good and evil, angels and demons.
Is it pure coincidence that it is becoming an acceptable subject during what I call the age of deception, involving fakes, counterfeits, AI, deepfakes, misinformation, disinformation, photoshops, holograms, and all kinds of fascinating imagery and illusion. That goes right along with a spiritual view of things.
Check out the following for examples.
For me, I'm interested in it at another level - the epistemological. Epistemology addresses the question of how we know. It is a foundational question. It is about the process of sensing, perceiving, interpreting, testing and concluding what is true versus what is fake. It applies to both the physical and spiritual domains. It is at the same time a physical and spiritual question, but at the root, it is a philosophical question.
It might take more than physicists, biologists and engineers to give a satisfactory answer. Reality, in my opinion is deeper than that. It is also psychological, philosophical, and spiritual.
To make "good" decisions, you must get beyond what most consider the realm of science. The word "good" by itself tells you it is a value judgement - a matter of morality.
Science involves value judgments. It must. It values certain things, even though it pretends to be beyond that. Objectivity, for example, is valued. Why? Why is it not just as good to sit and hallucinate whatever fantasy you like? And by the way, there is more argument lately for drug induced expanded mental facilities (not to mention those of the past like Timothy Leary) by pretty mainstream leaders.
You can not avoid value judgements. No matter what argument you make, value judgements are involved. Face it. If you do not have an absolute, you are stuck in an infinite tangle of relativity.
The UAP question is timely. It might help people take another look, question, and investigate the process of how we know - how we decide what is true. I assure you, those who earnestly start down that path will fall many times in the process, but hopefully will arrive at a deeper understanding and be closer to the ultimate answer.

The map is cleaner today. Not so much out there. But there will be more. Keep watching.
Good hunting,
