According to a series of surveys conducted by opinion pollesters, about 1 in 10 Americans has seen a UFO. Questioned in a CBS News poll in 1989, one American in four reported having personal experience of paranormal phenomena. Former President Jimmy Carter filed a report stating that he had sighted a UFO in 1969, when he was governor of Georgia Over 70 gigantic stones, each weighing between 30 and 50 tons, were used to construct the ancient stone circle at Stonehenge, England. According to Gerald Hawkins, author of the book Stonehenge Decoded, it would have taken 1,000 men about seven years to move the stones to the site, with the simple technology available at the time. In 1971, under close scientific scrutiny, Felicia Parise, a laboratory assistant at the Maimonides Medical Center, New York, moved a quarter-full medicine bottle six inches across a flat surface, without physical contact of any kind. Concentrating intensely, she was able to stop or reverse movement of the bottle at will. In 1898, Morgan Robertson published a novel in which an "unsinkable" transatlantic liner called Titan strikes an iceberg and sinks during her maiden voyage. Forteen years later, exactly the same fate befell the real-life ocean liner, the S.S. Titanic. Ambrose Bierce, an American journalist who specialized as a collector of stories of mysterious disappearances, himself disappeared without a trace in Chihuahua, Mexico, in December 1913. In December 1972, an Eastern Airlines Tristar jet, Flight 401, crashed into a Florida swamp, killing 101 people. Since then, crew members of other Eastern Tristars have reported seeing lifelike apparitions of two of the dead crew on over 20 occasions. In 1968, in a church at Porto Alegre in Brazil, a large wooden crucifix over 300 years old suddenly began to bleed.
