India’s most famous Godman exposed There has been much publicity highlighting the criminal background of India’s most famous Godman, Sai Baba. At the height of his power he had the President and Prime Ministers of India literally kissing his feet. This documentary went public with Baba’s murder intrigue and paedophilia way ahead of time. Shot over two years it scrutinises the original miracles that made Baba famous, builds up a picture of how people were magnetised to Baba, talks to rationalists who explain Baba’s childhood background and how he merged magic trickery with Messiah status. Finally we speak to ex
followers who still believe he has vast power but that his use of it is malevolent. |

Holy
Hijacker - Seeking the third secret of Fatima
How
one Australian helped unearth the world’s best kept secret In 1981 an Australian hijacked an Irish plane while flying over England. He ordered it diverted to France in order to force the Vatican to reveal the Third Secret of Fatima, purportedly uttered by the Virgin Mary to a group of children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. The
hijack took place one week before the Feastday of Our Lady of Fatima, the day of the attempted assassination on Pope John Paul II.
The Polish Pope did not ignore the coincidence, he put down his
survival to the intercession of “the Divine Mother.”
Lawrence James Downey, the Australian hijacker, explains what drove him to this extreme action. He leads us into the apocalyptic world of Fatima’s secrets - the fall of Communism, Church chicanery and a possible end of the world before the millennium. The Catholic Church finally revealed this mystic last secret of Fatima in June 2000. |

Me Captain Strange
UFOs over Ireland – one man’s
attempt to get the mother of all snaps of these coy visitors That there are UFOs flying over Ireland is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary proof. Hearsay, anecdotes, drunken eyes, sober minds, wobbling cameras, squiggly lights, precision telescopes, bleeping radars, state of the art spectrographs; who or what can you trust? The ancient Irish, the Tuath De Danaan were said to have landed in a great shaft of light on a hill in Leitrim. The Irish Annals mention anchors from skyships coming stuck in the belfries of Clonmacnoise. A 1980s schoolgirl sees a giant craft outside her dormitory window, a pre-war child speaks for the first time in 62 years about the craft that landed in front of him. A multiply witnessed sighting of a flying saucer took place in Kerry five days after Roswell. A managing mental health nurse cannot admit to his patients that he saw a craft 20 years ago. An old man from South Armagh relates under hypnosis the craft he was let into. Why did President Clinton while turning on the Christmas lights in Belfast, 1995, reveal the final truth about what happened in Roswell? Weaving round a plethora of sightings is one man from Roscommon who is determined to trap the first decent proof that these craft exist, using sophisticated optical devices, . Attempts are made to imagine who owns these craft and who might be captaining them. |
