A MYSTERIOUS LIGHT & FIGURE

On June 12, 2017, I “visited“ the Google Earth again because I wanted to add a few more satellite photos to the ones
(Satellite Photos 1 to 3a) that are already being in use in my two papers called: The Chin/Zo People and Their
Religions (https://de.scribd.com/document/344571616/The-Chin-Zo-People-and-Their-Religions and The Chin/Zo
People of Bangladesh, Burma and India - An Introduction (XIX).
https://de.scribd.com/document/18092021/The-Chin-Zo-People-of-Bangladesh-Burma-and-India-AnIntroduction-XIX

I was then surprised to see that an extremely bright, long and large light was recorded by the US and European
satellites (Landsat, Copernicus, and CNES/Airbus, etc.) on February 22, 2017 within the heart of the Siyin region, It
can still be seen these days on Google Earth (see Photo-Light 1 - to Photo-Light 11). What is even more astounding is
that, if the light is looked at from different angles - or from different distances – there seems to be a figure in the form of
a “smiling human being“ (see Photo-Figure 1 to Photo-Figure 8). This light was not yet to be seen in Satellite
Photos 1a to 3a (see them in the two papers mentioned above).

Note 1. If one visits several regions around this light by moving the computer mouse on the surface of the Google
Earth, one will find out that a number of regions were taken by the satellites on two different dates, namely on January
17, 2016 and February 22, 2017. The exact demarcation line of the two different dates is marked by the straight line of
the light on Photo-Light 6 to Photo-Light 10. That means the light itself and a few regions around it (the ones that lie
in the direction that its rays were spreading) were taken on February 22, 2017. Other regions were taken on January
17, 2016. One should use 3 villages, namely - Khuasak, Lophei (my native village) and Thuklai - and Fort White for
his orientation in looking at these photos.

Note 2. In fact, there are 10 villages (Buanman, Daakdungh Buan, Khuasak, Liimkhai Bungh, Liimkhai Zo-ngal,
Lophei, Pumva, Thuklai, Voklaak and Zawngkong in the immediate vicinity of the place where the light appearance
took place with a combined population of a couple of thousands who could have had seen this light. (The villagers of
Khuasak and Pumva, however, may not be able to see it for their views would be blocked by two mountain ranges.) And
in addition to this there must have been a few hundreds of middle and high school students at the Thuklai State High
School, which is situated at a short distance in opposition to this site, who could also have had seen it. Besides, the two
main motor car roads that are connecting Kalaymyo and Tedim, and Kalaymyo and Falam/Haka (see the road on the
right side in Photo–Figure 9), are also running very close to this site. On any given day during this period (February-
March) there are an average of a few thousand passengers passing through the immediate vicinity of the site.

Note 3. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd drafts of this accompanying text and the related materials (satellite images) were
disseminated to a number of recipients starting from June 19 onwards. The Screenshots of the satellite images have
been made and selected by myself for this paper.

Note 4. An illiterate prophet by the name of Pau Cin Hau (1859-1948), who was born in Tedim, invented a functioning
script called the Pau Cin Hau script out of his several visions with the biblical God. He spent most of his adult life and
finally passed away at Mualbem village, which is located close to Daakdungh Buan in Photo-Light 3 and Photo–
Figure 8 but as it‘s not written on the photo, only the site can be seen. Mualbem is located about 15 km away from
Lophei. For more information about him, see my paper: The Chin/Zo People and Their Religions.

Note 5. If the date (day, month and year) on which these images were made by the satellites are added together they
make up the mystical number of SEVEN -
22.2.2017 = (22+2+2+1+7) = 34 (3+4) = 7, or 2+2+2+2+1+7 = 16 (1+6) = 7.

One of the most strange things about this unusual light appearance is that not even a single person among all
those people had ever seen or noticed it at all. And I've had also surfed the Google Earth quite thoroughly for a
number of times not only over Chinland but even over Mizoram and Manipur states in India which are adjoining
Chinland as well where a few couples of millions of the Chin/Zo people are also living in search for similar
appearances, but I found none elsewhere.

 CHINLAND AND CENTRAL BURMA

Some Data:
Chin State: 37 000 km2
Population as of 2016: 500 000 (only 2% of it is Non-Chins). A conservatively estimated 1 million Chins are living
in other parts of Burma. About 90% of the Chins in Chin State is Christian. The rest are Buddhists and Animists.
Another fairly estimated combined population of 2 to 3 million Chin/Kuki/Zo people are living in Chittagong Hills
Tracts in Bangladesh, and in Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya states in India. The
Chin/Kuki/Zo people are comprised of nearly 100 tribes and sub-tribes. Almost all of those in India are Christian.

 PHOTO - LIGHT 3

Seen from the height of 11km. The summit at bottom/left side of Photo (meeting point of six mountain ranges) is the well-known Kennedy Peak (2703 m). It‘s the second highest summit in Chinland and is
called in Chin Thuammual. (The highest summit, Mt. Victoria with 3,053 m, is located in southern Chinland.) It was on the grazing meadows around this summit and mountain ranges that Prophet Pau Cin
Hau tended his father‘s mythuns and goats when he was young for many years. Such historical site and villages as Fort White (2305 m), Lophei, Khuasak, Thuklai and Mualbem (village on right side of
Dakdungh Buan) can be seen here. (For more information on Pau Cin Hau and the scenes in this photo, see my other paper: The Chin/Zo People and Their Religions.) A number of other villages that are also
located within the site of this photo are invisible for they are not named here. Several great battles were fought between the British and Japanese during WW II around this summit, Fort White and also in
several other parts of northern Chinland. The mountain range between Keneddy Peak and Fort White and beyond is sometimes called “The Great Letha Range“. It‘s well-known since the British annexation
in 1888-89.
The visit which made the biggest impact, however, was that of the Supreme Allied Commander of the newly established South East Asia Command, Lord Mountbattan himself, who visited the [17]division on
the 11th of February [1945]. He enjoyed the trip and noted that “the scenery is indescribably bautiful...He recorded the view from Keneddy Peak beggars description...“ (I.L. Grant, p. 50)

* The mysterious light that appears on Google Earth took place between the mountain range marked with a landslide and the second mountain range seen from foreground.
* The lower or closer motor car road seen here is leading to five Siyin villages, namely Buanman, Khuasak, Lophei, Pumva and Thuklai. The upper or more distant road connects Tedim and
Kalaymyo and Falam and Haka. Tedim itself is located some 15 km beyond the Kennedy Peak.

FAMILY PHOTO 1
This photo was taken on May 12, 1949 at about 8 o‘clock in
the morning in front of our house at Lophei by Edward Ngaw
Cin Pau, the youngest of my mother‘s 3 younger brothers. He
dropped by at ours house to say goodbye on his way back to
Rangoon, where he was studying. He asked my elder brother
and me (we were playing on the terrace in front of our house
when he arrived) if we wanted to be photographed and as we
said yes, the “photo session“ was hastily arranged for he was
in a hurry to catch a car for Kalemyo which is located some
30 km away in present-day Sagaing Division. (He still had to
walk 9 km from our village to Fort White to get a car which
ran between Tiddim and Kalaymyo.)
On my leftside in the first photo was my elder sister and on
the lap of my mother was my immediate younger sister. On
my rightside was my elder brother. My uncle made a notice
on the back of the photo and signed it.

died in Rangoon on 22nd September 1964 (about 72 days
after this photo was taken) from blood and uterus cancer at
the ge of 49. She was born on 23rd June 1915. My father
died on July 17, 1964 in Shan State on a journey from an
overdose of antimalarial medicine called Quinine.
PHOTO 3 (MY OWN PORTRAIT)
It was taken in Hamburg by a friend in 2005. My wife, who
was an ethnic Shan from Northeast Shan State, Burma,, and I
were fully involved in political activities against the
Rangoon regimes from the mid 1960s until we left the
country for Germany in mid 1978. We have been living in
Germany since then with two daughters and three
grandchildren. My wife passed away on December 21, 2015
at the University Hospital of Hamburg from heart failure.
My younger sister also died exactly on this date a year
later on December 21, 2016 in Kalaymyo.

“Taken on the 12th May ‘49. Printing, developing and December 2016
enlargement with different colours are made at Royal Photo
Studio, Rangoon. (Signed) 28.5.‘49.“

I was then only 4 years and 3 months old. (Actually, I

wasborn on February 7, 1945, but when my family moved
from Chin State to Kalaymyo in Sagaing Division, I enrolled
at a Primary School in Kalaymyo and my Burmese school
teacher made a mistake in converting the Gregorian calendar
into Burmese calendar which is called Buddhist Era or BE.
Since then I keep on using 1947 or 1308 BE as my birthyear
anyway in all my official papers.). My father, chief of the
township police in Kalaymyo, was on duty in that town at
the time.
Note. Mualbem village where Prophet Pau Cin Hau, who had
abolished Animism among the Chins and invented a well-
functioning script that has absolutely no similarities with
the two nearest scripts in the region - that is, Burmese and
Manipuri - had lived most of his lifetime and then died and
buried in 1948 at the age of 85, is just about 15 km away
from Lophei. He was an illiterate when he invented his script
which he claimed to have been given to him by the biblical
God himself through visions. See Satellite Photos 1, 1a, 2,

Chief Khup Lian (right), my paternal grandfather, with Rev. Za Khup, father of Vum Ko Hau (Photo taken on July 14, 1960). Khup
Lian was about 90 years old when this photo was taken. He died on December 3, 1962, at Lophei. Vung Hau, wife of Khup Lian,
was from the chieftain clan of Thuklai. Her younger sister, Vum Cingh, was married to Mang Pum of Khuasak (a son of Chief Khup
Pau and younger brother of Chief Khai Kam) - three of the most well-known heroes of the Siyin-Gungal rebellion (9.14 THE
SIYIN-NWENGAL REBELLION - 1892-93). Rev. Za Khup was married to Ciang Zam, a daughter of Chief Man Suang, paternal
uncle of Khup Lian. As Khat Lian, brother of Ciang Zam and the only son of Chief Man Suang, was physically handicapped, the
hereditary chieftainship of the clan was passed on to Khup Lian. He was the 11th generation from Chief Kim Lel and also the11th
Chief in the Kim Lel.dynasty, which ended with Suang Hau Thang, the eldest son of Khup Lian, when the hereditary feudalism was
abolished in Chinland in 1948 with the overwhelming desire of the masses. - See APPENDICES A, A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, E, F, EE ;

Khup Lian.
The proginator of the powerful Sailo chiefs who ruled most parts of present-day Mizoram for centuries was Seam Muang, the
younger brother of Kim Lel (see APPENDICES A to A/4; TABLES 2, 2/A, 3, 3/A, and 17.7 CLANS AND SUB-CLANS).

NU CIANG ZAM, My Mother)

My mother is the daughter of Chief Man Suang of Lophei. Chief Man Suang‘s mother was Pi Tongdim Kimlai
[from the chieftain clan of Buanman]. My mother and wife are thus related. At one time after a war the Lophei
Chief‘s families resided with my grandparents at Lunmun. Like my paternal grandfather, my maternal grand-
father also received troubles just after the British annexation of the Chin Hills. The Chin Chief‘s register
recorded: “ The Chief Man Suang deported as a Political prisoner for urging his villagers not to surrender
unstamped guns. vide Criminal case No. 21 of 1898/99 dated 12 December 1898.“ (Vum Ko Hau, p. 202)

The two verses below are from Khup Lian‘s 28-Stanza (56 verses) autobiographical song which are dedicated to his capture of a rifle
in a hand-to-hand fighting during the British‘s First Chin Expedtion (1888-89) under the direct command of Field Marshal Sir
White, and the battles themselves. (Vum Ko Hau, p. 234).

A. Vang Khua Suan tu Leido vaimang, ni khat pil bang the nge,
B. Al bang that ing Hautoi ing ci-ing Kawltiang tui bang la ing nge,
Za lai ah Kansaang ing nge

I scattered like pebbles
I swore that
I am the son of a highborn Noble
And killed enemies like chickens
Besides capturing an enemy gun
I am exalted among the hundreds [figuratively: the multitude]
