Brooks - Jay Brooks BROOKSWAVE #2                                                                                     Drone Footage - Tunnel Exploration - Dr Clockheart Series 2006 The story of Dr Clockheart is the story of the unrecognised  now.

The idea was that this device, when a candle was lit within it, would generate an image on a glass wafer that was inserted within the viewing device. At the top of the artifact is a candle flame and within it you can see four men jumping. Below the crown and nearer to the center of the object you may see four men walking in line. An accompanying note that came with this particular purchase from auction in 1945 stated that the four men were associated with insects and would change the world. Another note mentioned a geographical area - Liverpool. Another one described a location four the walking men as Abbey Road. Used as ...
