The Bear & the Chariot – Folklore, UFO memory & Descartes in Finland & BavariaThis video explores a 300-year-old finland mystery involving a letter describing possible ufo sightings passed to the Interplanetist Society. It delves into the history of the case and the potential ufo encounters that may have occurred. The video ultimately highlights the enduring fascination with ufos and unexplained phenomena.We trace the folklore around old man Tiittu: blacksmith, sorcerer, healer, protector of cattle. A capercaillie omen, a giant disc over the village, and a speaking “Forest Elder” bear converge with Descartes’ 1619 visions and the later mechanistic sky of Les Météores.But that’s only part of the story.🔹 Capercaillie omens over Tiittu’s roof🔹 Gigantic disc halts above Sahalahti🔹 Bear — “Forest Elder” — speaks to humans🔹 Priest’s curse, sudden illness, reversal🔹 Descartes’ room alive with sparks🕰 Chapters0:04 – Roots in Folklore: A Finnish Letter (1967)0:42 – The Healer-Blacksmith of Sahalahti1:26 – Midsummer Accusation from the Pulpit1:56 – Illness, Cattle, and a Reckoning3:01 – A Bear That Wasn’t: The Forest Elder3:19 – Gifts, a Cottage, and the Omen Bird4:11 – The Giant Disc Over the Village5:36 – Silenced from the Pulpit: Story Suppressed5:58 – From Legend to Record: 17017:30 – A Torch in the Darkness7:53 – Superstition vs. Science: Framing the Question9:31 – Young Descartes in Bavaria10:31 – The Three Dreams of 161912:26 – “Est et Non” — Yes and No13:13 – Reading the Signs: Descartes’ Interpretation15:29 – From Clockwork to a Living Cosmos16:32 – Your Call: Keep Looking?Sources:https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Finland/Vimana%20(1967-1972)/AFU_19670000_Vimana%20no%203-4.pdfDescartes.
