The following article has been posted on the Yahoo web page of the
Ancient Waterways Group. The trailer for the TV documentary is worth
seeing.

I'm finally allowed to discuss something I've become somewhat involved
in with a company called Committee Films. They're working on a
documentary about an unusual symbol called the Hooked X. This symbol
is showing up in several places on this continent and in Europe
consistent with a pre-Columbus discovery story of North America. The
man who discovered the symbol and is researching it's possible
significance is Scott Wolter.
Scott is a geologist by trade and an amateur researcher (Diffusionist)
who was a speaker at the Atlantic Conference in August. In fact, you
can see him in the sample film on the website -
http://www.AtlanticConference.org
Susan and Terry saw this presentation.
Scott did groundbreaking work on verifying the Kensington Runestone
and has a book out on this.

At the conference, he made a presentation on an unusual symbol on the
Kensington Runestone (see the Photos link at left to see this symbol).
He's calling it the Hooked X.
Because of his upcoming book and movie, I could not include this
presentation in the DVD set, but I will this spring or summer. The
news, however, is this -
The trailer for the upcoming film on the Hooked X, being produced and
directed by Committee Films, has won top prize at the National
Association of TV Production Executives. As a result, the movie and
Andy Awes, the producer/director are generating a great deal of
interest from -
The Discovery Channel
The History Channel
PBS
National Geographic
Parade Magazine
etc. etc.
Please see the trailer at this link -

It's now looking like the movie will be picked up by one of these TV
channels, production will be complete and the movie will air. Scott is
also publishing a book on the Hooked X.
For the Sinclair family, this is significant -
The Hooked X was found on the Kensington Runestone.
It was found on the Spirit Pond Runestone (the Mapstone).
It was found on the Narragansett, Rhode Island inscription stone
It has been found, with Niven's help, on an ancient Astrolabe held at
Oxford University dated c. 1350-1400 AD.
It has been found on the sigla of Christopher Columbus.
And (drum roll please) it was found in Rosslyn Chapel.
Both Scott and David Brody

have said, Jarl Henry St. Clair is really the only candidate at this
time.
The Kensington Runestone inscription translated -
"8 Goths and 22 Norweigans on exploration journey from Vinland over
the west. We camp by 2 skerries one day-journey from this stone. We
were and fished one day. After we came home, 10 men red with blood and
tourtured. AVM, save from evil. Have 10 men by the sea to look after
our ship, 14 day -journeys from this island year 1362."
