Welcome by Barry S. Roffman. I also receive e-mail at ArkHunt@Juno.Com. PHILOSOPHY AND BELIEFS: I place great emphasis on the Scientific Method for my Codes research, but I am an Orthodox Jew. However, I believe that many mountain peaks point to Heaven. Religious differences are, as is pointed out on my page for Muslims, a test for mankind. We please the Creator most by living in peace. GOALS: I hope to launch my next expedition into Egypt in late October, 2008. There, based on the ELS maps shown on this site, I will seek to first locate the fortress of Baal Zephon, and then recover the Ark of the Covenant 7 miles south of it. While such discoveries would be the greatest possible outcome of my research, a primary original goal remains: To determine IF the Torah Code is real or just a statistical illusion. As of July 3, 2008, after 11 years of research, I am convinced that there is a Code in Torah that pre-records where the Ark will be found. However, my current opinion about the nature of a Code that goes beyond the Ark, is best summarized in my article on Talmud and Names.

If Spielberg understood the significance of the ELS Maps, I'm sure he would fund a proper expedition too. I had lunch with his mother in her West Pico Street kosher restaurant (terrific food) in LA about two years ago, but she insisted her son would not accept a book from me, her, or anyone without it going through his agent.

There is a scientist that I know for my entire life - all 61 years - who got extremely upset with me (and who implied a threat against my life) when I heard something in his home on December 24, 1997 about UFOs that I was not supposed to hear. Although we had never had angry words in the 50 years before, he would not speak with me for years after the incident. In 2007 I learned from him that he apparently worked on wreckage recovered from Roswell or a similar event. He would not say this directly, but showed me enough for me to catch his drift. There is no man on the planet that I respect or trust more than him. More than this I dare not say for fear of giving away his identity, and bringing harm to him or his family in any way.

Just so you're aware -- here's another reason for my tendency to try to assist. For 25 years my Dad was a research physicist at one of the most competitive research labs in the country. To his credit, if I have any real information that might possibly be of assistance to you, I can't help but take the time to let you know.

Let me be clear about what I saw on my 10th birthday. It was a large, uniformly bright oval light moving from west to east. It was not anything like an airplane. It was not a blimp. In angular size, it would be about how a footfall would look from a distance of about 10 feet. It did NOT rise vertically, but disappeared from my field of view behind houses on the other side of the driveway behind our house looking south from my bedroom at 1230 Greeby Street in Philadelphia. I never saw anything remotely like again over the next 51 years. I know NAS Willow Grove very well. I started my career in the military with a flight physical there in 1967. I flew T-34s from there in 1968 while taking Navy ROTC at the University of Pennsylvania, and I last stayed over night there at the Navy Lodge in 2007. While I can not be certain that what I saw was extraterrestrial (especially given the age of the memory), I was exposed to enough information from military and other high ranking sources to believe that such craft have visited us. I also believe that there will be an attempt made to use their existence as a reason to forget about our religious beliefs. I think this will be a mistake. It's what I caution about in the last paragraph on page 124 of my ARK CODE book, as well as on my web site.

No alien gods! A while ago, I was stymied by the fact that in your Ark Code book you had a hard time completely distancing yourself from alien theories, even though you found clear codes against them. Then I saw on this site that you believed that you had seen a ufo when you were 10 years old. Later, I noticed on this website that, of all days, the sighting had happened on May 22. That demanded a little bit of my attention. I’ve lived in two areas in the Northeast Philadelphia suburbs – near to Bryn Athyn and near to NAS JRB WG. In Northeast Philadelphia, you lived on the city side, right behind the Northeast Philadelphia suburban family enclave of some of the oldest vertical flight development aviators on the continent. Much of the local airbase property, NAS JRB WG, which is also located in the Northeast Philadelphia suburbs and just a short drive from Bryn Athyn, was also originally owned by that same family. The information available is thesis-long, but if you map the locations of where you lived, the airbase NAS JRB Willow Grove (Horsham) and Bryn Athyn, you may quickly see that the areas are contiguous, for flyers within a matter of minutes. Though I’ve noted that there are a few others who might have information about local flights, sadly, I see that we have missed the man who would have been the most knowledgeable about unusual flights in and around the area over the past decades. He has passed away just about two months ago.(http://www.eaa.org/news/2008/2008-04-02_pitcairn.asp) His obituary notice is at the EAA -- the Experimental Aviation Association.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I've been out of town. The UFO that I saw on May 22, 1957, was also seen by several hundred other people who phoned the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia about it. I'm 61 now, but I never saw anything like it again. It terrified me as a kid to the point that for at least 20 years I would always check the night sky whenever I got up for any reason. There were many such sitings back in the 50's. While there seem to be fewer today, my younger son apparently saw one on June 30, 2003 in Limon, Colorado while we were driving around on a back road late at night. He claims he was too afraid to tell me for fear that I would stop the car (and we would risk an abduction).

Hello my friend, Thanks for your inquiry. Long ELS Codes, including the one that you wrote about, are covered on the Slide Show on my web site. Try the following link for the section (in Part 1 of the show) that you're interested in: http://arkcode.com/slide_show.html?show=Torah_Code_Part_1&picture=picture5.jpg&aut opilot_running= There are 6 slides there on part 1 of the slide show covering this. As I point out, the longer ELS trains published on Christian web sites tend, as Ingermanson claims, to be grammatical rubbish. The Levitt study discussed on the show, however, shows that there are some good finds - but the proof in this area is far from certain just due to the nature Hebrew and the great number of 3-letter combinations that are words in Hebrew. The fact that the "Snooper" can break letter trains any way he or she wishes adds to possibility that something will arise, but again - most flunk the grammar test. This is why the ELS maps are so important. The added requirement that sites at ELS be found at precisely the angles to and from each other that match what is seen for courses on real world maps makes the chance that such redundant maps are there due to chance alone much more remote. However, even with the many ELS maps that I have found and displayed on my site, the ultimate test is still in whether or not they lead to the Ark of the Covenant - at a site never before suspected. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If the Ark is recovered from the site in question, nobody can ever claim that the bar was set too low - and that's how it should be. If I'm right, the world will be changed in ways so profound as to make the downfall of the Soviet Union look like a small event. Warmest regards, Barry S. Roffman

Hello dear friend: Recently I spoke with one of leading skeptics, Randall Ingermanson Ph.D, about long phrases showed by Torah codes proponents, concretely this one: "Destruction I will name you cursed Bin Laden and the revenge to Messiah." I asked him why they didnĻt show one from other texts and he told me that the real issue was the terrible grammar of the phrases showed by proponents. As I know only few words of Hebrew ,nothing more, I couldnīt discuss it with him, my lonely thought was: "The other texts canīt produce nothing, neither rubbish". Thatīs the word he used to describe that phrase. Whatīs your opinion? Thank you for your time and for your wonderful work. Good bye
