The Starchild Project has captured the interest of many at the Phenomena website. Here, Lloyd Pye gives us the latest information on this strange skull and the on-going analysis. Please note - Phenomena Magazine does not act as an agent for Lloyd Pye or the Starchild Project. This letter is included here as information to the interested community.

Hi, Everyone:
Two months late, but better late than never, issue #2 of Phenomena Magazine has finally made its way onto newsstands across the U.S., particularly at Barnes & Noble and other large outlets. Don't look for it in small venues because its publishers have printed "only" 50,000 copies, which must be shared with other English speaking countries. 50,000 lasted two weeks for issue #1, so this announcement is for those who might want to secure a copy from a newsstand, or order it through your local vendor (tell them to specify "Cinescape presents Phenomena"---Cinescape is like a parent magazine).

The article relating to the Starchild is a summation of where things are after five years of struggling to get it noticed by mainstream media and taken as seriously as it deserves by mainstream science. This has been so vastly more difficult than I could have imagined, I don't know how to adequately express my frustration over the lack of progress. Perhaps such uniform resistance suggests how viable--and valuable--it is.

In any case, the article begins thus: "It is unnervingly misshapen. Eye sockets implausibly shallow. Eyeballs? Maybe, maybe something else. Jam-packed with a third helping of brain. Inner ears big enough to hold small gyroscopes. Sinuses, gone. Rear of the head, flat on flat. Pencil neck under it like a lollipop stick. Tiny face and lower jaw. Crease along the center of the crown. The bone too thin, too light, too hard to be a normal human. All told, it seems otherworldly. Hence, its name--the Starchild."

The purpose of the article, as you might recall, is to generate contributions to finance a trip to the Kureha lab in Japan to have a wide array of detailed tests run on the Starchild's bone itself. Bone 1/2 as thick as normal, 1/2 the weight of normal, yet 2 or 3 or possibly 4 times as strong as normal (one of the tests we need done) is not likely to be close to normal in its chemical makeup. Our goal is to establish that the bone's matrix is far enough from accepted norms to indicate what we have assumed all along--that it is not entirely human.

We will of course accept whatever results we obtain, and if they don't break our way, that will be that. However, we can't reach that point without significant help from at least some of you. As I explained in a previous update, I can only let the morphic field of your generosity and belief in the Project determine whether or not I take it to Japan. In nearly three months since I announced our need for this testing, the morphic field all of you comprise has been thunderously quiet. We have received less than $500 of the minimum $5000 required for a trip of this nature, less than 10% of the goal. Obviously, this is humiliating and a metaphorical slap in the face.

I have a life and a career, folks. I can write and I can speak. Since the Starchild came into my life, I've had to keep those talents on a tight leash so it won't appear to critics that I'm beating my own drum at the expense of the Starchild research. However, I don't have to live this way. If you want me to go to Japan and secure what I think is critical information toward determining the truth about the Starchild, I will do that and give you the best return possible for your money. If, on the other hand, you don't think this is worth your money or my time and effort--which has been the unmistakable message up to now--then so be it. I'm able to live and function no matter how you decide. I can hold up my end, but the other end belongs to everyone reading this.

For those interested in the Phenomena article but who can't obtain a copy--I know many of you will be in that situation--I will be happy to email you a text-only version. It's not the same as with the outstanding photos and illustrations in the article, but better than nothing. Simply email me and let me know who needs it that way.

As always, if anyone reading this knows anyone else who might be interested, please forward it to them. The goal now is to go to Japan in April, so we need all the help we can get, and we need it soon. Thanks!

Sincerely,
