Tony Wedd was enthused with the subject of ley alignments when, after reading Alfred Watkins' book on the prehistoric alignment system, he walked on Hampstead Heath and discovered a mark aligning on the tumulus there and Westminster Abbey, built on an island called Thorney Island. Later he found a number of alignments in his own home area of Kent and was surprised to find flying saucer sightings often made at or near mark points. Connecting the ley system with the "orthoteny" UFO alignments of Aime Michel in France, he made a trip there and found several marks where Michel had reported sightings. From this, and from mentions of magnetic currents by contactees Buck Nelson and George Adamski, he derived his theory of the use of ley energy in saucer propulsion and/or navigation. Since then, many people have experienced energy effects in the ley system and dowsing has been used extensively to detect energy lines across the landscape.
A number of illustrated talks by Tony are available from this gallery, including one on the leys in his home area, and another on his visit to France. He also describes research into Stonehenge which he related to the seven-point star he felt was very important in free energy technology, and work on the Somerset Zodiac in his native Somerset. This is a circle of landscape effigies discovered by Mrs. Maltwood, who Tony had the opportunity of meeting in Canada during the war.
Presiding over this gallery is the Doddyman, the surveyor of the ley system as put forward by Alfred Watkins, with his two staves for aligning the monuments, and who is pictured as the Long Man on the hillside near Wilmington in Sussex.
