Blue
Grid
by Bill Nelson
What
is this Blue Grid?
You're
probably familiar with this Planetary Grid System map. Let's start by
looking at this:
The
following credits need to be given when reprinting this photo:
The
Planetary Grid System shown [here] was inspired by an original
article by Christopher Bird, "Planetary Grid," published in
New Age Journal #5, May 1975, pp. 36-41. The hexakis icosahedron
grid, coordinate calculations, and point classification system are
the original research of Bethe Hagens and William S. Becker.
Now
the pattern in the above map corresponds to the Becker-Hagens grid.
The only problem is, the coordinates for this grid don't fit too well
into real life once you go walking along the lines attempting to feel
some energy. That's where this website comes in:
http://www.gewo.applet.cz/earth/planetary_grid.htm
This
website has a similar grid pattern also inspired by Christopher Bird,
but these coordinates are shifted quite a bit from the Becker-Hagens
grid. The site also calls these lines the "Russian Grid".
But
if you just consider the basic lines of that Russian Grid, it's not
enough to just draw the white lines like you see in the main menu of
this site. There are these extra "blue lines" that are
needed to tell the rest of the story. So I found those extra blue
lines from the work of Buckminster Fuller, in his book, Synergetics
2. Here's his lines for one triangle:
http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s09/figs/f87132f.html
However,
I first found out about these extra blue lines from Dan Shaw's
Vortexmaps.com site. There, these lines have a more pleasant sounding
"EarthStar" name.
So
here's where the story gets confusing: at the time I thought it would
be helpful to draw those "EarthStar" lines all over the
globe. So I attached this EarthStar system to the Becker-Hagens grid,
thinking it would help. To make a long story short, it turned out
that the Becker-Hagens grid itself wasn't allowing energy-sensitive
people to feel any energy along these lines.
So
that's when I remembered the ol' "Russian Grid", and
thought that maybe... The "EarthStar" pattern would fit
into real-life better with this grid. Little did I know just HOW
well...
So
when I was drawing the Becker-Hagens grid, I used RED lines in maps.
That's because I only had four basic colors to choose for a line.
When I went to draw these EarthStar lines into the Russian Grid, I
was forced into using BLUE. That's how this "Blue Grid" got
started. And it's better to use blue because my only other color
choice was green.
So
the Russian Grid is not my idea, and Buckminster Fuller's EarthStar
lines are not my idea either. I haven't found anyone on the web who
has drawn these EarthStar lines into the "Russian Grid", so
maybe, this linking of two ideas is the only thing you could call
"mine". Not that it matters. You can have the idea be
"yours" too if you want.
I
didn't plan on this (EarthStar)-(Russian Grid) idea lining up with
NORAD, UFO sightings, Lake Vostok, and Eltanin antennas, but it just
happened to turn out that way. It's also good to know that if you
walk along these blue grid lines, you have a much better chance at
sensing some energy.
The
odd part is: a lot of people have already BEEN to some of these blue
lines. They've known all along WHERE they can feel the energy -- they
just didn't have a precise grid pattern like the Blue Grid to follow.
I
cannot think of a better name for this (EarthStar)-(Russian Grid)
idea, so for the lack of a better catch phrase, I'm just calling it
the "Blue Grid".
TECHNICAL
INFO
This
area is for explaining how I arrived at the coordinates for the Blue
Grid, etc. This page (after this first paragraph) was all written
back when I was first figuring out how to find places along the grid
lines. My current version now uses thousands of pre-calculated
headings, to speed things up in MS Access XP. I'll explain it all
later...
How
to find the proper Second closest grid point:
Repeat
this over and over until you get it down pat:
Remember:
Latitude degrees for North have positive (+) values.
Remember:
Latitude degrees for South have negative (-) values.
Remember:
Longitude degrees for East have positive (+) values.
Remember:
Longitude degrees for West have negative (-) values.
Wisdom:
Why are West values are negative? Because some group decided that the
degrees should start with zero in the Eastern Hemisphere. Then
imagine as you fly in the direction from London to Moscow, the
degrees get higher and higher: 10, 20, 30. But when you fly beyond
Japan, you approach 179 degrees East. When you go beyond this point,
you end up in the Western Hemisphere and the values would go higher:
190, 200, 210, etc., up to almost 360 degrees. If you ever see
longitude values above 180, that means they're in the Western
hemisphere, see? So to force these values to be negative, you
subtract 360 FROM that degree value in the West. For example, 260
minus 360 is -100 degrees. Usually you see observatories listed with
longitude values ranging from 0 to 360, and they don't do that
"subtracting thing" because they use a whole different ball
game to note their global position. That's the parallax method, and
it's too complicated to try and describe it here.
Wisdom:
with this grid of 62 points around the earth, six of them are NORTH,
and six are SOUTH. Whenever you find one of these points, that means
TEN lines radiate away from that spot. For all the rest of the
points, either FOUR or SIX lines radiate away from each point. When
all the points are connected right, the whole earth ends up being
covered in triangles. The short end of each triangle is about 1254.3
nautical miles (nm). The medium line is about 1903.04 nm, and the
longest line is about 2242.6 nm. If any of the 62 points isn't placed
right, they'll have to get prodded back in place so that the distance
for all lines related to that spot are either Short, Medium, or Long.
That's important, as we'll see soon.
Wisdom:
the distance between two points on the earth is called the Great
Circle Distance, or GCD. The usual method with trigonometry functions
will suffice here, because we don't have to care that the earth isn't
perfectly spherical. That's because in a separate process, we'll let
our earth location be up to TWO degrees away from a grid line on
EITHER side.
Wisdom:
the direction you're headed in from one point to another is called
the True Course, or Heading. Even more complicated-looking
trigonometry is used to get this handy-dandy value in degrees.
BEWARE: because this grid has starting and ending points that share
either a latitude or or longitude number, you have to remember the
180/360, 90/270 rule with finding true course. If both longitudes
match and you're headed from more north to more south, the true
course is 180 degrees; if you're headed from more south to more
north, the true course is 360 degrees. Likewise, if both latitudes
match and you're headed in one direction, it's 90 degrees; the other
direction is 270 degrees. My programming factors this in to properly
find the true course.
NOW,
let's find the best Second closest grid point!
01.
Set LineShort to 1254.3.
02.
Set LineMedium to 1903.04.
03.
Set LineLong to 2242.6.
04.
Start with a location (MY)'s two values: latitude and longitude.
05.
If either latitude or longitude is blank, then STOP here and say "--"
is the answer.
06.
Somehow remember the locations for all 62 grid points. You'll need
them.
07.
Now find PT1, the closest node to point MY, by finding the lowest GCD
between point MY and each of the 62 nodes. Keep a list of all these
62 GCD values; we'll need them too!
08.
Remember the GCD of PT1 to point MY! I'll tell you why at the end.
09.
Now ignore that node for PT1, and find the second closest node to
point MY. That's PT2.
10.
Now ignore PT1 AND PT2, and find the third closest node to point MY.
That's PT3.
11.
Now ignore PT1, PT2 AND PT3, and find the fourth closest node to
point MY. That's PT4.
12.
WAIT! Check the GCD from PT1 to PT4. If the distance ain't LineShort,
LineMedium, or LineLong, then forget about using PT4 from now on.
That's because the PT1 to PT4 line would be an ILLEGAL one; meaning,
you'd be trying to connect THREE triangles! Not good. We HAVE to care
about this because: for nodes where there aren't many lines, PT4 is
IGNORED; for nodes with ten lines emanating, we HAVE to consider PT4
because of all those TEN lines having all those angles.
13.
HOLD ON AGAIN! Check the GCD from PT1 to PT3. If the distance isn't
LineShort, LineMedium, or LineLong, then forget about using PT3 from
now on too. However, if PT3 is no good, chances are PT4 WILL be used.
14.
Find the Heading of PT1 to PT2, and call it TC2.
15.
Find the Heading of PT1 to PT3, and call it TC3.
16.
Find the Heading of PT1 to point MY, and call it TCX.
17.
If we're allowed to use PT4, find the Heading of PT1 to PT4, and call
it TC4.
18.
Now play "To Tell The Truth" with TC2, TC3 (if you're
allowed to), (and PT4 if you're allowed to), by taking the absolute
values of TCX-TC2, TCX-TC3, (and TCX-TC4 if you're allowed to). If
you get a relative heading of more than 180 degrees, you have to
subtract that number from 360 (i.e. 360-x). The lowest value WINS and
is the Best PT2 point!
19.
Put your answer together so LOTS of values all fit in one field. The
Best PT2 point goes first, then a space, then PT1 and a space, then
PT2 and a space, then PT3 and a space, then PT4 and a space, and
finally that GCD of PT1 to MY.
20.
HERE'S WHY you need to save that GCD of PT1 to MY: if your point MY
is insanely close (within a couple nautical miles) to one of the 62
nodes in the earth, who cares at all about PT2, PT3, OR PT4? When
your point MY is close by distance like that it doesn't matter WHAT
the heading is: you just say your point MY is close to a node by
distance alone, and note that point MY. You HAVE TO do this because
OTHERWISE, your Heading is all outta WHACK: the system says your
point is like 20 degrees away from a grid line, and you'd ignore the
point not realizing how close your point is to a node.
After
this, you take that crummy-looking answer and paste it into a field
in a table. Then pull out the values you need and compare the Heading
of PT1-PT2 to PT1-MY. If the headings are within 2 degrees of each
other, then you're flying in the same direction. You'd have to be!
And that means your point MY is along the PT1-PT2 grid line.
If
your method of finding the Best PT2 node is quicker than my version,
then we'll all use your version! Good luck. I'm baffled as to how
pilots would do this process any more efficiently. At least my
version won't ignore any grid lines like it did before.

The
following list is a sample of what's available... as of 09/28/2003,
the links ARE here!
And
HEY! Knock, knock, knock! Some of the text files are in Unicode
(UTF-8) format!
These
lists show what places are found along these blue grid lines. All the
lists have at least three extra columns:
Triangle
- To tell you the grid triangle where the point is found
ESpt1
- This is the closest junction to your point X
ESpt2
- This is the second best junction to your point X.
If
you see a field called ESpt1nm, that value tells you how far away
your point X is from that ESpt1 junction. This is IMPORTANT when you
are trying to get close to a grid junction, because when you're
really close to a junction, heading comparison does not matter.

Lake
Vostok
Here's
a photo of Antarctica showing the Blue Grid lines. After getting
this done, doesn't make you think "HEY isn't this NEAT?" I
labeled the major nodes connected by the white lines. And would you
look at that?! LAKE VOSTOK is placed right on junction point [31]
(Lat. -77.4734121648443, Lon. 104.690146373659) of the Blue Grid!
Note
here how minor grid junctions [22] and [28] are northeast of Lake
Vostok. All these junctions are placed inside the S1-47-46 grid
triangle. And in the map below, the perspective was fixed to overlay
the Blue Grid lines. The map is upside-down, so the south pole is at
the top of the map, along with the Vostok science station
(78°27'51"S, 106°51'57"E). So because this map is
upside-down, junctions [22] and [28] are northeast of junction [31]
in real life.
By the way, if you look at the path
the vehicles take as they head northwest across the lake, the
vehicles pass right over junction point [31].
Now
what are the odds of coming up with a grid pattern that BY CHANCE
just happens to line up with Lake Vostok? I wasn't planning for this
to happen. Lake Vostok is placed near a junction point of two blue
lines and runs through the middle of a grid triangle. I've called
Vostok's junction point <31>, because it was the original
number used for the same point in Buckminster Fuller's book,
Synergetics 2. Most of the other junction points have letter names
so that the map doesn't get too confusing.
You
may want to check out the other places along the blue grid lines in
Antarctica, which you can get from the GET LISTS menu. Or you may
want to just visit the junction points themselves.
PS:
The Eltanin "thing" was shown to resemble a sponge in
October 2003. In the 1911encyclopedia.org site, there is an entry
for Cladorhiza Longipinna. If people had been allowed to see the
figures on that encyclopedia page, we might have all seen the
resemblance to the Eltanin object long ago. Even still, it doesn't
take away from the fact that it is placed on a junction point of the
Blue Grid.
Here's
some important notes from this Wayback Machine archived webpage:
http://web.archive.org/web/20020221100805/http://www.clever.net/tenthmuse/paranormal/uso.html
From
time to time strange mechanical objects have been found and, in some
cases, physically contacted on the beds of the world's seas. During
an expedition to the coast of Cape Horn in 1964 the ocenagraphic ship
Eltanin photographed a strange "machine" at a depth of
13,500 feet. The object had a number of rods or antennae protruding
from it. Attempts to determine what it was or how it got there have
been unfruitful. On July 26, 1970 a diver in water 25-35 feet deep
and 200 feet off the shore of Alcocebre in eastern Spain came across
a 20 foot long cylindrical metal object on the sea floor. He tried
unsuccessfully to move the cylinder and had equal luck in an attempt
at scratching its surface with his knife. The following morning he
and a friend were in a rowboat in the same area when the friend saw
something suddenly fly out of the water. A subsequent dive several
hours later revealed that the mysterious object was no longer there.
On July 27, 1984 an object was seen crashing into the waters off
Lummi Island, Washington, USA. Shortly afterward divers in the area
came upon a metallic, egg-shaped object that seemed to be orange or
gold in color. One diver actually stood on the object and felt it
"humming." When he returned to the surface he found that
his boots were covered in red dust. Another dive several days later
showed the object to be missing.
{So
tell me: how many unscratchable 20-foot-long cylindrical objects do
you find on the sea floor? By the way, Alcocebre is right near major
node N5 of the Blue Grid. AND: Lummi Island is ALSO along a Blue
Grid line!}
