Lunar Eclipse, Triple Sixes, and ‘Skull & Bones’ for Buddy Holly

This is Part 2 of a two-part post:
- The 1959 Death of Buddy Holly and Pi (3.14)
- Lunar Eclipse, Triple Sixes, and ‘Skull & Bones’ for Buddy Holly
1960 Lunar Eclipse

Just one year after Buddy Holly died, a Total Lunar Eclipse began on March 13th. This Eclipse ended shortly before Noon UTC, meaning that just minutes after the penumbral phase ended, the calendar flipped to March 14th, or 3/14. This date contains the first three digits of Pi, or 3.14.:
This Eclipse was in 1960
Buddy Holly was killed during his Winter Dance Party tour in a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft.



These are the same three digits in the number 169. The word Pi is made up of the 16th and 9th letters.

The Life of Pi author was born a span of 169 days after Elvis Presley’s birthday, and was 169 months old when the legend died:
169 is 13 × 13





Six circles make up the number 888, which is the gematria of Three point one four.


Buddy Holly was released 2 months, 24 days after The “Chirping” Crickets, and a span of 2 years, 24 days before the 1960 Pi Day Eclipse:
It was also 224 days before days before Don McLean’s birthday, and 23 weeks, 5 days after Buddy’s:
His third and final record That’ll Be the Day has matching 235 Reverse gematria with where he crashed, Clear Lake Iowa, and 3.14.

American Pie was recorded in 1971



The 49th Prime number is 227


In Life of Pi, Pi Patel survives a shipwreck for 227 days. (Alt+227) gives you the Pi symbol on a Windows keyboard. That’s because 227 is a very special number to Pi.

Holly’s plane crashed in Clear Lake, but his place of death is listed as Grant Township, Iowa.


Six sixty-six = 227 (Caps Added)

Part 1 mentions how 223 and 322 are the first two numbers with 314 gematria. In 2023, Yale University, home to the Skull and Crossbones = 223 (or Order 322), turned 322 years old:
Six six six (666)
Yale University is located in New Haven, which is home to the 203 area code:
Buddy Holly died on February 3rd, or 2/03:


2 ÷ 3 = 0.666…







He died on 8/16

Six hundred sixty-six is revealed as the Number of the Beast is revealed in Revelation 13:18:


6 × 6 × 6 = 216




6 + 6 + 6 = 18
Elvis Presley was born on January 8th, or 1/08:
The date had Multiplicative numerology of 1080:![]()



The 18th Prime number is 61

The 61st Prime number is 283


2083 is the 314th Prime number



Skull and Bones
Earlier, I mentioned how Elvis died at exactly 2223 weeks of age, while Buddy Holly died exactly 2223 weeks before the 9/11 attacks.


Holly’s self-titled effort was released when Elvis was 322 days before his birthday, or 8,444 days old:




His eponymous record was released on February 20th, written 2/20 or 20/2:






Buddy Holly had Reduced birth numerology of 35:![]()

The 35th Prime number is 149




The 149th Prime number is 85

Perhaps it’s no real wonder why Chirping was placed in quotes in Buddy’s debut, The “Chirping” Crickets.



Other Notes
Buddy was born in Lubbock, Texas and crashed in Clear Lake.

Although he crashed in Clear Lake, Iowa, he died in Grant Township, Iowa. Both cities match Donald McLean III, and Mathematics of the circle.
