In The Beginning
I cannot be at all sure when the '33' phenomena first started, or when I first noticed it. Nor have I any definite idea what of it really means. At times I feel it is somebody saying, "Look I am here". At others, I am sure the object is to get my attention.
For years I thought I was on my own. Nobody else appeared to have experienced it. Then one or two friends reported back that it was happening to them, after I had told them my story. When I discovered from a number of web sites that the 11.11 enigma was prevalent around the World, it was a great relief to know that I was not imagining it all. Judging by the postings,thousands of people have noticed the same double numbers appearing regularly on a variety of digital displays.
How and Why?
The number of ways in which it has been presented to me, is as curious as the continual repetition of the number '33', sometimes several times a day. I didn't start to record the event until December, 1997, so cannot be sure when I first took note of it. Had it not been for an eye complaint, which necessitates a frequent eye bath during the night, it may have taken somewhat longer before the penny dropped, since it occurs more frequently at night. At first, I noticed that almost every time I looked at a digital clock, I saw the number '33' in the time. It didn't matter whether I had happened to look at the Micro-wave clock, Oven clock, my bedside timer, or the computer clock. Eighty per cent of the time, there was '33'.. ..3.35, 5.33, and so on. I wondered whether it was anything to do with the year of my birth. The more I wondered at it, the more puzzling it became. I tried to explain it away to myself, with the notion that any two digits would be bound to appear every so often. I even tried to work out the odds by counting the number of '33's in each twelve hour period. I didn't need to for no other figures were appearing so consistently.
Second Clue to Title
`Suddenly it all stopped. Somehow this was stranger than, seeing '33' a number of times during the day as well as by night, no matter where I looked. When after some three or four days, it kicked off again then I was convinced that it was no mere act of chance. Something or somebody, in some way, was calling my attention to digital clock displays, no matter which one I looked at. I rarely look at the time when driving. Yet, I only had to stop for petrol, or go into a supermarket, and a quick glance at the dashboard, while turning the key to start the engine up again, invariably displayed another '33' timing.
Variations, Other doubles
Eventually, I noticed that it was taking a different tack. I was getting doubles, like 10.10, 11.11, 3.44, and so on. Sometimes it would play around with a reversal like 12.21. Only on an odd rare night did it ever stop. One night in November 1997, I must have had a dozen examples, even a strong one like 5.55. I say 'strong' because this was the thought that came simultaneously when spotting it. Strangely, by the light of day, it didn't seem to be important. The intensity of an idea or thought when lying in bed, half asleep,is very acute. So why should this be? I imagine that scientists would say that it is all down to a change in the brain wave pattern of anyone lying in a comatose state. Many times, when half dreaming and half awake, we resolve determinedly to do something, only to have second thoughts, and throw it off as unimportant from the moment we are up and out of bed. An explanation might be that we are getting guidance by night, and on our own by day.
One night, I was woken with a voice calling my name and telling me to look at the Clock. Sure enough it was what I can only describe as 'a strong one'. When I saw that the time was 3.33, I thought there might be danger from the 3 trees next door. Then I wondered if there might be a message hidden in it all. But no matter what I deduced could be the answer, like page numbers in a book that I might be reading at the time, it never proved to be a solution.
Next, I wondered whether it was linked to an inbuilt time clock. Studies into the jetlag problem show that the body knows when to sleep and when to wake. Also I never had any need for an alarm clock. I only had to tell myself that I needed to be up at a certain time, and would do so. That proved not to be the answer, for one morning, I was lying in longer than usual, when Edith woke and asked me what the time was. Looking at the clock, I read out, 8.33. This time the direction had come from my wife. Another time, I only awoke and looked at the clock to see yet one more '33', because Edith had turned in her sleep, and kicked me in doing so.
There has hardly been a day during these last few years when I haven't seen a '33' timing when taking a casual glance at a clock. When ever it did cease, it was usually for a few days, the longest gap being about a week.
33 In Print
Whenever a different way of displaying those magic figures came up, it enforced the accompanying sensation. One day we drove into our nearest Shopping Centre and went straight to the multi-storey car park, next to the main malls. As usual, I popped the parking ticket into my wallet, without looking at it. A couple of hours later, we made our way back to the car. When I got in, I pulled out the parking ticketand then saw that the time printed on the docket was 13.33. Glancing down at the dashboard, I saw that it was then 3.32.
This invoked two immediate thoughts. Firstly that I had no chance of getting down to the exit within the minute, so saving forty cents on the parking fee, and secondly that 'they' had failed to give me a '33' on the clock. I don't think the timings from three o'clock onwards count, since that display lasts half an hour. But 'they' had had it all planned out. For the first time in memory there was no queue or hold up in the drive down from the second floor to the ground floor exit. Even so, I was surprised when the fee came up as fifty cents instead of ninety. I looked at the dashboard again, and the clock was now showing 3.34. Checking it later on, I found that the clock was a minute fast. So now I knew that I didn't have to see the figures '33', but to be aware that it had happened. It was a demonstration to show me that '33' could be presented in more ways than one. It didn't have to appear on a clock.
Magazine Page 33
Early in December, 1998, it came up in print again. Maybe this time it was only a coincidence. I guess they do happen innocently, sometimes. Nevertheless, when searching for the "treasure chest" logo in the "That's Life" magazine, I had usually found it on the first run through all the pages of the magazine. If not the first, then nearly always on the second hunt.
That particular week, it was much harder to find. After three slow and determined examinations, I was convinced that it was like the time that they left it out altogether. Edith had a go, and her verdict was a most definite - "It's not in". The next morning having completed the other puzzles, I had one more go, and there it was, as clear as a bell, on Page 33. The point here is that afterwards I felt so sure that it hadn't been there, on that page before. Were 'they' making both of us miss it the day before.
Orange Juice 33
By this time, I was not only making a note of every occasion that '33' appeared on a clock, but every instance that I saw it, no matter how trivial. It might have seemed important at the time, but I wonder now if I was making too much of it, when I noted the 'use by' stamp on a carton of Orange Juice, which read, "4/2/99 15:33". Later that month, I went as long as four days without seeing the number. Then it came back, displaying 1.33 on a parking meter.
33 Flashing
During March, 1999, sightings became very few and far between. Although there was one that I couldn't possibly miss in the middle of the month. I had actually gone through to the early hours of the morning before having to bathe my eyes. It was something of a shock, when I looked round and saw the figures 33 actually flashing on and off. Then I realized that there must have been a power failure at 12.33. But only the last two digits were flashing, and not the hour.
33 In The Supermarket
Another unusual display came up about this time. We had gone to a new supermarket in a nearby town, and I was standing by Edith, while she was having some cheese weighed and priced at the delicatessen counter. The Scales read out was 1.33, when the assistant remarked that it was quite a bit over, and should she cut some off.
33 Here, 33 There, 33 Just Everywhere
In May,1999 I decided to keep a check on the new Water Meter. The local water company had just been privatised, and subsequent to them exchanging our old meters for new, everybody received astronomical water bills. There were many complaints in the local Press, but nothing could be proved since no-one had deemed it necessary to make a note of the figures when the old meters were taken away. I went out to the front garden, and opening the meter lid, was surprised to see that the figures were stationary, and read, '96333'. Now it seemed that '33' was popping up everywhere in the most unlikely places.
The ingenuity of whoever is behind it, was unbounded. One day not long after getting 13.33 on the oven clock, I scanned a picture from a book. When it was finished, the memory used was given as 1.33 megabytes. Another morning having risen early at 6.33am I had an early and lengthy session on the Net. When I disconnected the duration came up as 1.33 hours. A few days later, I decided to watch something that I had recorded on a Video Tape. First I had to rewind the tape, not to the beginning, but to the start of a particular programme. Having found it, and put it on 'play', I settled down to watch the recording. After a few seconds, I decided to have a look at the display, and pressed that button on the remote. At that very moment it came up with 1.33.08. If I had had the display switched on when rewinding, I would not have got this read out.
House Number 33
When I went house hunting in Cairns, one of the early inspections that an Agent took me to, bore the number '33'. I wondered then if this was an omen, perhaps even the purpose of the countless '33'displays. I soon rejected any thought of buying that house, since it was not only a mite too small, but it would have needed a fair amount of work to be done on it first. I was near to a state of severe despair and desperation by the end of yet another round of house inspections, on the second day. Then there it was. Another house numbered '33', only this time, the street number was in fairly large characters, on the front of the house, instead of the usual spot on the fence or mailbox. As I waited for the Agent to find the right key, I felt something of a tingling sensation. This was the right home for us.
Email peppered by 33
A few weeks later, I sent emails to my solicitor and conveyancer to let each of them know the other's contact details. This time there was no holding back the '33's. I had quoted the address, "33 ...... Street Cairns, the Cairns' Real Estate Agent's phone number, "07..33 ..33", The Cairns Solicitor's phone number, "07 ......33", and the local Conveyancer's phone and fax numbers, "......3311, and 03 ......33". There were six of them in the one message.
Et Tu Brute? VV and XXXIII
Another time, I noticed a run of '55's, yet still accompanied by the regular '33' display. Checking back, I saw that it was nothing new. Double five's were on the clock nigh on three years earlier. I couldn't help but notice the first instance that '55's appeared. I had had a strange dream. The only piece that I could remember after I awoke, was that it ended with my being given, or told, a Roman 'V', and this was followed by my being given a second 'V'. "Ah Ha!", I thought in my dream, they cannot put that on the clock". Upon which I awoke, and the time was 4.55am.
About a year later the Romans were back. I had already observed two '33's during the night, and a third at 1.33pm on my computer clock, when for some reason or another, I decided to have a look at a report on the American Football Final, on television Now, I have never been interested in American Football. To me, it is far too slow and interrupted, compared with Australian Rules Football. Why I should have bothered to turn the television on just then, is as much of a mystery to me now.
I had never before noticed that Grand Finals were numbered in any code of football. I probably wouldn't have noticed it with the American Final, had it not come up on the screen in Roman Numerals, 'XXXIII'. It just happened to be the one and only time that I was drawn to this game. Could the finals number have been the real reason behind my decision?
Equations instead of 33
Sometimes there wouldn't be a '33', nor any other double displayed through the night, and yet I would get that peculiar sensation that was telling me that the timings were important. Eventually I noticed that the readings could be taken as very simple mathematical equations. For instance, one night, I woke at 3.58, and instead of counting sheep, I pondered on the figures. I found myself thinking, "Well, three plus five makes eight". It sounds silly, but once the idea was there, I began looking for it each time, I woke. At 4.28, it was obvious, four times two is eight.
This went on until I got a timing that didn't equate in any way. Or so I thought. I just couldn't make anything of 7.22, so I thought the run was over. But the idea that it did mean something, wouldn't go away. I think I was even up and out of bed before the penny dropped. Twenty-two divided by seven is a very rough value for 'Pi', which is the ratio of the length of the circumference to that of the diameter of a circle. Any navigator would know this, as it is essential in calculating great circle courses. Edith's late husband had been a Sea Captain. Was all this, Dick's way of telling me that it was he?
33 on Freecell
Ever since I installed the Windows programme into my computer, I have been addicted to the game of Freecell. I find it relaxes the mind, and eases tension. Eventually I saw that the random numbers thrown up by the game, were reaching far beyond the rules and odds of chance.
In the beginning, I let the game itself proffer a game. In Freecell, they are all numbered from 1 to 32,000, and one can easily see that the random selection has no favourites but comes up with figures within this whole range. It could just as easily have been chance when '33' kept popping up. It happened three times in a two month period, showing me 1933, 1233, and 9333. The last of these was overshadowed by a coincidence far beyond the laws of mere chance.
Freecell Thinking?
I had given up accepting the random selections from Freecell, long before, and was selecting each game in numerical sequence, starting from '1'. I was still marvelling at '9333' having appeared, when I had played the first 2,298 games. The next game I wanted to select was 2299. I didn't have to type the number in, the random selection gave it to me. The chances of this happening would have to be 32,000 to 1.
This was so remarkable, I went back through my records and found that I had jotted down some earlier instances where the numbers were close. For game 606, the random number had come up with 13606. Wanting 666, I was given 31666. When I wanted to play game 817, the random selection was 18171. Then there came a slight but significant change.
One evening, when I had been sitting at my computer desk for quite some time, and was feeling very tired, I thought that I would just play one more game. That was to be game 845. Realizing that it was getting late in the evening, I glanced down at the time, and it read 8.45. The very next night, much the same sort of thing happened. I was tired, and spending too much time with the game. As a break from other work on the computer, I turned once more to Freecell for a few leisurely moments. It was much later than the night before, although I kept playing one more, and then one more game. Eventually, tiredness gained the better hand, and I decided that game 859 had to be the last. In that moment I checked the computer clock, which was showing 9.58. This time, 'they' had reversed the figures. I just knew that it was intentional, and obviously this was the nearest time that could bring up figures to match the game number.
Maybe that was too much of an effort for whichever, or whatever mind that was drawing my attention to the clock. For, after that, we were back on the previous tack. Game number 877 was preselected as 8277.
How is it all done?
If, as seems fairly certain, these events are being engineered by some Spirit Guide, then just how can they be arranging it all? Like the '33's on digital displays, and coincidences described elsewhere in these pages, I was being given a mental nudge. It can't be so simple when the situation is more complex. Early in 1999, I purchased a book about Children's past lives. In the opening pages the author mentions a certain "Norman Inge". Moments later, I put the book down to watch a Judge Judy show. The defendant in the case was a "Nick Ince". How on earth could 'they' possibly bring this all together at the same time?
33 In Place and Time
It is one thing to spot '33' in a casual glance at one of a number of clock in the home, but quite another, when it only happens upon termination of a sequence of unplanned activities. One morning, in January, 2001, I had driven to a number of places around Cairns, including a Shopping Mall. There were so many variables in the trip; a relaxed stroll around the Mall; finding one address; waiting for service; getting back on to the Highway each time; waiting for traffic lights to change.
Nowhere on route, did I check the time. Nor had I noted the time when we left home. When we were safely in our drive, instead of opening the garage door with a remote and driving straight in, I got out to bring the bins in first. At last I brought the car in, switched off the clock, and then, and only then, did I glance at the clock. It was 3.33.
How could all of this have happened by chance? How did 'they' organize it?
Well, very simply, if everything has been planned in advance, or the Reality that we see is all within ourselves.
Binary Numbers
Since writing the paragraphs above, I somehow wondered, or perhaps, received the thought that I should be looking at binary numbers. I looked at the binary figures for '33', which are '100001', but couldn't see how this might relate to any other double number, nor any associated event. The next morning, I was nudged again with the strong sensation that I had to look again at binary numbers. It wasn't until, I was more awake, that I understood. I should have looked at each figure '3' separately. The binary number for '3' is '11'. Therefore everybody who has observed the ll.ll phenomena, has actually been given the same 'wake up' call as myself - 33
Remote Control Codes
It is three months now, since my last update of these pages. Looking back through my day to day records, I can see that there has hardly been a day or a night, without some manifestation of this preternatural event. The ingenuity of whoever or whatever is at the root of it, is no less surprising. Indeed without the frequent presentation in some new and unexpected form, it would have all become a natural matter of course by now.
There have been cases such as discovering that the service number of an uncle who died in the First World War, began with '33'; an extraordinarly number of '3's and '33's in a new credit card; a check on the number of entries in a Database file, revealing 1133, - only the second check I had ever made; a posting on a mail list pointing out the 33rd anniversary of decimal currency in Britain; another posting to say that a missing son had been found after 33 years.
All of these paled into insignificance when I discovered the remote control codes. The discovery only came about, because somebody on Thursday Island made a mistake, and packed a Video Recorder Remote Control, when sending us a television set. Step-daughter had left both behind on the Island, when changing employment, since she was on her way to a remote community on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. Seeing that we only had one antiquated television set, and another on the blink, she arranged with a friend to ship her more modern set down to us.
Being a bit of a pain having to get, put the light on, and then play with the indiscernible buttons on the front of the set, each time we wanted to change channel, volume, or picture, I decided to look for a Universal Remote. Having found one, it was necessary to set the code for TV and VCR. I soon learned that most of the bigger brands have up to a dozen or more codes. But they always put the most popular brand code first. As soon as I saw what it was for Sony, I knew that it would be the first one - 033, and it sure enough it was. The rest for Sony TV's were 528, 034, and 059. Next I decided that I might as well programme in the VCR on the same remote. Turning to the pages for VCR's and Akai, the first code was 129. That didn't work, so I went to the second code, and again, knew straight away, that this would be the one - 338. The rest for Akai VCR's were 076, 064, and 043. I would never have known the codes, for my VCR and the TV, had somebody on Thursday Island not picked up and packed the wrong remote control.
I had a very strong sensation that she had somehow been misled on purpose. Not only that, but that the infra-red ray is in someway important.
Review of Subsequent Events
Or to put it another way, an update. More than a year has passed since I last added notes to these pages. Little has changed and there is hardly a day when a '33' is not spotted. Whenever it does stop for as much as three or four days, it usually starts up with a vengeance, and a flow of '33's' may be sighted. So in scanning back over my records I am just looking for new variations or anything that is 'interesting'. At this very moment 09.32 24 July 2002 Australian Eastern Standard Time, I suddenly thought that I hadn't set the VCR to record and rushed into the Lounge. But, I had, and I don't know how I could possibly have thought that I hadn't set it. Anyway, the recording has started and when checking the display read, "2h.33m.12s"
16th July, 2001. We had been watching a recording of 'Tilly Trotter' on TV. After it finished I took 'Catherine Cookson Country' to bed with me to see what references there were to this tale, in Kate's biography. Eventually I found a long extract, which occupied several pages. When I had finished I went back to the beginning of the piece so that I could show Ede the next day. It started on page 133. This is another case of preplanning. It had to always have been on page 133.
In June 02, having played a game of 'Spider' patience and got it out, I then noted the game number, which was 336333333. This has to be the Grandaddy Long Legs of all 33's I have ever spotted.
End of July, there was a new twist. Having been into Cairns and returned with a new tape, I played the first track. When it finished, the total playing time for the whole CD came up in the digital read out as 73.31. The time was 13.37.
33 on Television
Lately, '33' has come up in a variety of ways in television programmes. Just what is it that makes script writers continually use this number? Here are some of them:-
24 April, 02. While watching "Howards Way", There was a quick shot of a train that had a big number '87' on the front, and above it in much smaller figures was the number 1133.
12 May, 02. Watched the final episode of "Danger UXB". At the end there was a dedication thanking the sappers of 33 Engineers.
23 May, 02. A news item showed a presentation to the winner of a Safety regulations competition, and he was wearing a basketball top with the large number 33 on the front. A little later we watched a film on Arena starring Patty Duke. In one scene the police detective comes out from an apartment block and looking back one can see a big 33 over the main entrance.
10 August, 02. While watching Chandler & Co on tape, Ede pointed out that the Hymn Numbers on the wall of a church were showing a '33'.
21 September, 02. While watching recording of "Love Hurts", there was a scene in a restaurant where a waitress is making her way between tables, full of people. She is carrying a plate in each hand and then calls out "Number 33". She goes a little further and then calls out '33' once more. After that we watched Chandler and Co. In one scene there is a group of people in a house, and among them, but slightly to the back are two boys wearing red shirts. One is slightly behind the other, so the large numbers on their shirts read together. Each has a big '3' on the front of their strip, so it appears to be 33.
30 September, 02. A Car Registration in "Special Branch" was AMP33H.
These are only the more recent cases of 33 on television. There have been many more, particularly in "The Bill" where it has been used for house numbers and police officers.
Channel 9 puts out our Street Lights.
This case really demonstrates the selective energy from the "Other Side". On Thursday evening, the 7th November 2002, a picture of John Edward was flashed on the Screen from Channel 9, which is now the only television station in Cairns airing local news. It was accompanied by a quick message announcing that there would be a segment about mediums in their "Current Affair" programme after the national news. It turned out to be totally one sided, focussing on Cold Readings, and completely ignored the accurate readings delivered by John Edward in his show, "Crossing Over". At the beginning of the segment, the picture of John Edward was shown again, followed by some shots of James Van Praagh in his show, "Beyond". This then gave the impression that these were two of the mediums who were to be rubbished by the American Sceptic. Neither of these two mediums nor any other was given the opportunity to defend their exceptional gift and work.
It all seemed so terribly unfair, and I resolved there and then to compose a letter to Channel 9. Sometime just after 1am, I awakened from a disturbed sleep, and all the points that I needed to make started to churn through my mind. This state continued for more than two hours, and it was quite impossible to get back into a deep sleep. Then when nothing new was evident, I tried to put it all out of mind and get some sleep at last.
I lay for a while with my eyes still closed, when all of a sudden, everything went black, and in an instant I was fully awake. Opening my eyes I realised that the room was now pitch black, with none of the glow that normally invades it during the night. At first I thought it might be a power black out, but I could see a faint glow through an open door, emanating from the Insect Zapper in our Lounge. Turning my head, I saw that the clock was not only still on, but the time was 3.33.
I wasn't so surprised to see a '33' at this point, for it usually happens upon completion of something I have been doing, or thinking about. finishing What was remarkable was that 'they' had used a new ploy to get my attention. It wasn't a kick from Ede in her sleep, nor a voice in my ear shouting at me to look at the clock, but something different enough to give me a lot more to wonder at. A general power black out, would have turned off the clock, so the energy used was being selective.
I was still marvelling at it, when some six minutes later, the room brightened up again, and the street lights were on again. I just had to get up, make a cuppa' and jot down the points while they were still fresh. Returning to bed, I must have dozed lightly for just over an hour. As the first bit of daylight crept in, I came to, and checking the time, found that the clock was now showing 5.33.
Update February 2007
Four and a half years have passed since I last added anything to this page. The constant appearance of '33' throughout most of this time has been fairly constant, rarely going unnoticed for more than 2 or 3 days. It was in fact so regular that I accepted it as much as the knowledge that each morning the sun would rise again. Recently sightings have become spasmodic which is somehow more alarming that their regular occurrence.
I had in fact become so used to '33' that I no longer bothered to add extraordinary sightings of '33' to this page. Not even the Tanks which began as far back as the end of 2001 and continued into 2004. Upon reflection this type of '33' is stranger than most others, since it invites questions such as, 'Is 33 placed on war vehicles by some superior intelligence that knows that these particular chariots will eventually be filmed and therefore go into historical records?', or 'Can everyone see the same thing, or do other numbers appear on film when viewed by other people?'
THE TANKS
The military '33's' appeared as follows:
Mon. 12th November 01. Watching early morning news on Sky, and they have just shown a Northern Alliance tank with three very big white figures - 330.
Sat. 23rd Nov. 02. Watched a little of a programme about the German push in the Ardennes. There was a quick shot of a German Tank which had big numbers on the side - 133
Sat. 26th Apr. 03. In late news on tv, the reporter was standing next to a tank in Baghdad. Number on the side of the tank was 33 . The figures were in a very different font from those seen on earlier tanks on television.
Tue. 16th Dec. 03. In programme about Montgomery there is a scene with Churchill in a landing 'duck'. Number on side - 633 B19.
Tue. 22nd June 04. While trying to see what was on History Channel, saw for a moment a tank which is on display in the Australian War Memorial. Marked with bullet holes, I believe it had been brought back from New Guinea. On the side - number - 2033.
Fri. 25th June 04. Watching newsreel about Iraq, showed tank - and on side the number - C33
Fri. 2nd July 04. News report on Israel had tank in background. As far as I could see, number was 33.
Sat. 16th Feb. 2008. I was watching Bio Channel about Audrey Hepburn and it showed some of the fighting when Germany invaded Holland. One of the tanks in one of the news shots had 633 on its side.
Thu. 28th Feb. 2008. While watching documentary on History Channel about D-Day landings I saw a landing craft arriving on a beach - number on its side was PA 334.
Sun. 4th Aug. 2008. Watched the last episode of Foyle's War. In it there was a small news clip supposedly from the Slapton Sands incident when 749 Americans lost their lives in training for the D-Day landings. German E-boats sank many of the landing craft. For a moment there was a landing craft or DUKW which had the number PA 33-5 near the bows. Monday morning I surfed the Net looking for landing craft connected with Slapton Sands and D-Day. Hardly any have any number on the side that can be seen or clearly read, which makes me wonder more and more whether I am seeing things that aren't visible in our normal time/dimension frame.
Sat. 9th Aug. 2008. This evening's news report was very grim. War has broken out between Russia and Georgia. I recorded what I saw in one newsreel simply because I was astonished to see a tank WITHOUT 33 on it. Instead it was a Russian tank number 412 and the number was very clear. Soon after tank 416 rolled by. But then there it was on the next tank - 335. There is also a coincidence here in that the last newsreel of tank/landing craft was less than a week ago and had the very same digits 3, 3, 5.
Sun. 10th Aug. 2008. ABC evening news report on Georgia showed three tanks with numbers visible - 554, 212, 218. Not one 33. It rather looks as if the initial run of tanks only with the number 33 on them was to get my attention. This achieved a 33 only appears every so often. This is really what happened when I first noticed 33 on the clock during the night around 1996/1997. After the initial flurry, sightings became a regular thing practically every day, but not solely 33's.
Tue. 12th Aug. 2008. At first the evening news report looked as if the run of tank 33's was over, when the first one in the news about Georgia was tank number 239(?). However shortly afterwards another tank appeared and this was 233.
Apart from tanks and landing craft there has been at least one '33' occurrence on a war ship. At least I think it was a war ship. In one of the latest (2006) 'Most Haunted' programmes, the team went to Dundee and spent a night on board 'Discovery' which took Shackleton to the Antarctic, and on Britain's oldest warship still afloat, 'Unicorn'. During a session where one paranormal investigator explains some of the incredible phenomena that happened during the night, the number '33' can be clearly seen affixed or painted on the ship's hull behind him.
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW?
Returning to the mystery of the missing '33's' in February 2007, I cannot help wondering whether it has had something to do with a recent upheaval with my computer and television equipment. In September last year not only did my hard disc crash, but everything else connected to my computer gave up at the same time. Even the monitor went, while CD reader, and modem went on the blink. The monitor would have been my third or fourth, though I also sat for hours before a desk monitor before I retired. The new monitor is an LCD, so could that have something to do with the decline in sightings?
As for our television corner, something similar happened, around three months after the computer was going through it's last dying gasps. The pay tv decoder box played up badly and had to be changed for the latest version. The VCR lost tension and so wouldn't play the beginning of tapes without constant disruption. And, the Television set died completely.
If all of these electronic sets are giving out a lot of energy which we are somehow using to cause the '33' effect, then how on earth could that effect historic events such as the Tanks?
SPORTS SHIRTS
Sports Shirts in televised news reports are a favourite with the '33 transmitters'. I cannot even think of a time when some player with back turned to the camera, was not wearing a sports shirt bearing the number '33'. Actually this isn't quite true, for on one occasion I was really surprised to see some footballer with the number '20' on his back. This was so unusual, I was really taken aback. The surprise was short-lived for next thing I took in two more players, numbered '10' and '3'. I really felt relieved when I realised what the three numbers added up to. It wasn't unlike the night when I awoke at 12.40am, and couldn't understand why this timing was drawing me to the clock, similar to the sensation when an unexpected '33' appears and demands attention until the time changes. I was unable to get back to sleep until a thought flashed in, 'DIVISION'. Then I had it. 40 divided by 12 is 3.33 recurring. Reassured that I hadn't mistaken the energy pull, I quickly fell back into a deep sleep.
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THE ONLY SENSIBLE EXPLANATION IS THAT THIS WORLD OF OURS IS NOT REAL.
