Evidence for Information Transfer Mechanisms in Water Vapour
Hugh Fairman
Outline Summary.
This article is to submit evidence to support the hypothesis that water is
capable of holding and transmitting information. To achieve this aim a
series of images is presented here which has been taken by digital
camera using certain techniques as described in the text. The author
contends that both the presence of discernible artefact form and the
range of colours captured render the statistical likelihood of such images
being attributable to random chance alone, or else simply an effect of
pareidolia, as being so remote as to be effectively dismissed.
Experimental aterials and ethod .
Essentially these images are taken using steam vapour as the background
information capture facilitating medium.
Setting. !ny secluded small room can be used. !ll extraneous light
sources must be excluded, and indeed it seems that success is more likely
if images are in fact taken after dark, in order to reduce the presence ofstray photons even further.
"amera. !ny digital camera of #$pix resolution or greater is adequate,
although success has been achieved at %pix resolution. ! photo&flash
facility should be incorporated into the camera 'usually a standard
feature(. There is no data available as to whether positioning the flash unit
at a site that is at an angle from the line of the camera lens is beneficial or
deleterious to image capture. !ll images shown here were taken with
absolutely standard digital cameras. The ma)ority of the pictures selectedhere were captured with a Sony *S"&+#$, and the outdoor ones with a
-anasonic umix %pix.
Steam is created by simply boiling fresh water in any suitable vessel be it
a saucepan or a kettle. ! reasonable quantity of boiling water will give off
vapour against a cooler background for quite some time when removed
from any heat source. Since it appears to be most effective when the
vapour cloud is not over&dense, the hot water is better transferred to a
suitable container for use. The latter is best made of ceramic material,
although aluminium may be used. /t seems that ferrous metals are better

avoided, since success becomes less likely, possibly a consequence of
magnetic field interference effects.
0ackdrop. ! 1ft '#( square flat surface is used as the background. /t is
important that it has a matt&black light absorbent quality. !ny form of
back reflection of light, such as a shiny black paint leads to a double&
exposure effect and is less effective and creates image 2wipe&out3. The
best surface seems to be a tightly stretched piece of closely woven matt&
black cloth, as a single piece attached to the flat surface. !void placing
any )oins within the camera field.
The camera should be mounted stationary facing the backdrop, and the
'ceramic( bowl of steaming water placed so that the vapour rises between
the lens and background. The containing bowl itself should be invisible to
the camera field. -ictures are taken in a series of #$ to 1$ at a time insequence. Their analysis will come later, and little will be seen at the time.
Optional additions. 4nusually it has been found that the addition of fresh
vegetables such as potatoes, or even eggs seems to increase success
rates. The simple addition of inorganic ions in the form of sea salt has no
discernible beneficial effects. /t seems that since in effect the additions
are still alive that this fact in itself somehow influences matters.
ental !ttitude. The great ma)ority of these images were taken by a life&
long psychic. Since the likelihood of a successful outcome seems to havea relationship to the 2ind3 of the experimenter, it is best to at least
suspend dis&belief. Even this photographer took over 5 months of
repeated effort before discernible images started to emerge.
The interested lay person is perfectly capable of setting up such a photo&
booth.

The purpose of the #8 images selected above is to demonstrate both form
and colours. !ny meanings or derivations will not be covered here,
although in fact some of the image references are known.
/mage / This shows the presence of straight edges, and differing
colours. +hilst it might be reasonable to anticipate the colours of the
rainbow spectrum to occur in the presence of water vapour, brown is not a
colour of the spectrum.
/mage // !n indubitable artefact in the form of the letter 2*3 can beseen over on the 9 hand edge of the frame. There are other artefact hoop
shapes on the side and along the lower half of the image, which are
attached to an equally metallic looking straight bar.
/mage /// ! complete strait edged triangle of Euclidian accuracy may be
identified in the centre. The upper left corner has been deliberately
2broken3 and turned inwards.
/mage /6 /n the bottom corner can be seen the perfect outline of a
small building. /t has a convincing form, and is a small chapel.
/mage 6 The main centre image is that of a bottle. /t has a white top
and can be seen to possess a label. The latter has a secondary image
within it. :ote that it is not artificially symmetrical, as a real specimen
might show. /t looks more alike to a drawn image in many ways.
/mage 6/ !nother bottle fills the centre frame. /t is artefact and looks
like a wine or spirits container.
/mage 6// ! dark&blue boat leaves harbour. The straight edge of its bowis toward the , angling from top to lower edge. The curve of its transom

runs parallel to the upper edge, and ends in a white cabin in the upper 9
corner. ! well depicted but rather faint red marker buoy is to be seen
close to the edge of the frame. Thus it is possible to say that this is
departure, and not arrival, since such buoys are channel markers, and
should be kept to port when the ship enters harbour. 'See note #(
/mage 6/// The circular wheel of the rear end of an open sports car should
be easily identifiable. /n fact this is probably a Triumph T91 sports model
'4; marque late #58$3s(.
/mage /7 ! single deep sea fan worm. Small fish swim around it.
/mage 7 This shows a deep sea giant amphipod. This is a crustacean
similar to ;rill or shrimp which are species that most are more familiar
with.
/mage 7/ ! close up view of two birds.
/mage 7// This shows a large brown insect in a vertical position in the
centre frame.
/mages 7///&76 This trio should be looked at as whole. Taken by another
operator 'with no psychic talents( in an outdoor setting it shows features
of interest. 7/// has steam only, with no added form, which is entirely to be
expected. 7/6 taken a few moments later shows a face above the plastic
blue 2dog bone3. 76 is an enlargement of the relevant portion of the wholeimage on 7/6. There is some slight colouration, a faint reddish tint, but it
is not as impressive as the other examples previously shown. The face
does show quite reasonably, but few would accept this image alone as
evidence.

information3 to enable the viewer to make a completely secondary
deduction, relating to the vessel3s departure as opposed to arrival. /t is
possible to determine that this depicts a coastal related scene since red
channel marking buoys are not found in deeper waters.
"lear defined images of lower animal life forms have been selected here,
since there is far less probability of sub)ecting these more unusual
creatures to any mental pareidolic kind of response. :ote how they stand
out from any background as individual images on their own.
This short report is written simply to alert others of similar interest what
this technique can achieve.
