and sleep states. Various psychological theories have been formulated to
explain the event, with partial success.
Most interesting is the report concerning the evident discovery by some other
party of my penetration through the hole. In accord with published reports of
other experimenters, penetration of the "hole" was visible to a person or
intelligence at some location other than the immediate vicinity. If this followed
the pattern of other such reports, the time element would be identical. There
is no means to verify this one way or another.
My emotional reaction to the meeting with the "Someone" had many of the
aspects of a mystical experience. It is significant that I felt a sense of humble
ecstasy which triggered an emotional release.
That was the beginning. A series of experiments followed that were
remarkable in their consistency of data, and defied any historical explanation.
The curious intellect cannot dismiss the collective experience as
hallucination.
Locale three, in summary, proved to be a physical-matter world almost identical
to our own. The natural environment is the same. There are trees, houses,
cities, people, artifacts, and all the appurtenances of a reasonably civilized
society. There are homes, families, businesses, and people work for a living.
There are roads on which vehicles travel. There are railroads and trains.
Now for the "almost." At first, the thought was that Locale three was no more
than some part of our world unknown to me and those others concerned. It
had all the appearances of being so. However, more careful study showed
that it can be neither the present nor the past of our physical-matter world.
The scientific development is inconsistent. There are no electrical devices
whatsoever. Electricity, electromagnetics, and anything so related are nonexistent. No electric lights, telephones, radios, television, or electric power.
No internal combustion, gasoline, or oil were found as power sources. Yet
mechanical power is used. Careful examination of one of the locomotives
that pulled a string of old-fashioned-looking passenger cars showed it to be
driven by a steam engine. The cars appeared to be made of wood, the
locomotive of metal, but of a different shape than our now obsolete types.
The track gauge was much smaller than our standard track spacing, smaller
than our narrow-gauge mountain railways.
I observed the servicing of one of the locomotives in detail. Neither wood nor
coal was used as a thermal source to produce steam. Instead, large vatlike
containers were carefully slid from under the boiler, detached, and rolled by
