Hi Jim et al!

Yes, if you could scan or photocopy it (so I could scan it), it would
be interesting to see...I've never known of any other information
about it and I'd only seen a brief description many years ago, but it
sure caught my attention as something I'd like to check out.

Interesting how Ed Leedskalnins Coral Castle in Homestead Florida is
also claimed to have been erected using sound. No one actually saw him
do it, but reports are he placed his hands on the stone to be lifted
and sang to it, deviating the gravity in the stone so it could be
lifted like a big styrofoam block.

Something is certainly going on as in the reports in the file saucer
song with all the comments about ancient levitations using sound...the
file is;
