A QUESTION ANSWERED

Paul Devereux reviews "Cosmic Friends," acknowledging the STAR Fellowship's role in publishing "The Ley Hunter." While Devereux finds the author's notions farcical, he notes that the communications received have consistently been trustworthy and beneficial, likening them to doctors, teachers, and spiritual directors.

THE WONDERFUL RIDE OF DAN FRY (Part 2)

By Tony Wedd, this section continues the account of Dan Fry's experiences. Fry describes a 30ft wide, 16ft high oblate spheroid craft that landed silently. He was taken aboard remotely, as the 'space people' were not yet adapted to Earth's atmosphere or gravity. He experienced a flight over New York from 20 miles up and a brief free-fall. Inside the craft, he saw the symbol of the caduceus. The beings explained they were descendants of survivors from an Earth cataclysm who escaped to Mars when it was more habitable, following a war between Mu and Atlantis. They also discussed their understanding of Universal Science, including the concept of linear versus sinusoidal laws and their ability to nullify matter, potentially explaining 'angel hair' found near UFOs.

ADAMSKI - DID HE COME BACK?

This section recounts a lecture by Norman Oliver and Eileen Buckle given to BUFORA in 1966. The chairman, Lionel Beer, noted BUFORA's decision not to support the claim being described, which was connected to the Scorriton affair. Arthur Bryant reported a sighting of a pale blue light in Scorriton, Devon, on June 7th, 1965. The next day, he found strange metal pieces resembling turbines and a glass phial with a message in Classical Greek: "Adelphos adelpho."

Mr. Oliver interviewed Mr. Bryant, who described a saucer appearing out of thin air. Three beings emerged, one of whom, identified as Yamski, beckoned Bryant aboard. Bryant noted their unusual physical characteristics and silvery suits. Yamski claimed they were from Venus and warned of dangers from Epsilon and 'poltergeists.' He also mentioned that Adamski had died only about twelve hours before this contact. Bryant was taken inside the craft, which had identical compartments and a screen displaying moving lights. He was told the craft was propelled by an 'Ideo motor movement.' After being returned, the craft ascended and vanished.

Oliver and Buckle found Bryant to be credible. Bryant described the saucer as platinum-like and noted that nearby sheep were unconcerned until the ship left. He touched the craft without ill effect. Inside, one compartment contained a purple robe with a rose. Bryant claimed no prior UFO book knowledge. The craft had landing pads but did not land. Yamski spoke of 'Karma.'

NOTES AND NEWS

Early Cosmology

An excerpt from "The Light of Asia" describes Buddha's cosmology, including reincarnation on a cosmic scale, countless worlds, and a supreme Power that builds and unbuilds. This is linked to Sylvia Cranston and Carey Williams' book "Reincarnation."

More UFOs

Reports include mystery circles in fields near Westbury, a sighting at Bradford-on-Avon of a "peculiar white light," and a large object seen over Teheran pursued by an Iranian Air Force Phantom jet. Jenny Randles' book is mentioned for its focus on abduction accounts.

Raelian movement

A brief mention of the Raelian movement, founded by a French journalist named Rael after a 1973 contact, and their meetings on telepathy and extraterrestrials.

End Times Bulletin

Kevin and Sue McClure are restarting their "End Times Bulletin," a project focused on the 20th Century Apocalyptic Vision.

Zena Sfeir's sighting

Zena Sfeir has provided details of a sighting previously reported, which BUFORA identified as a misinterpretation of Jupiter. The author finds this explanation doubtful due to the nature of the sighting and sketches.

TOWARDS THE FUTURE: A wider context for allotechnology

By Philip Heselton, this article explores the concept of 'allotechnology,' a term coined by Tony Wedd for technology derived from space contact. Heselton outlines eight principles of allotechnology, including: reception via thought communication, 'free energy' power sources, the importance of shape and number (especially seven), specific materials (metals, woods, crystals, stones), the role of the individual in imbuing the device with vibrations, the absence of significant moving parts, and the potential influence of location.

Heselton suggests that the true importance of allotechnology lies in its potential to convince people through practical results, rather than just philosophy. He notes that this concept was not solely developed by Wedd and Philip Rodgers but involved many other contacts. The article calls for further research into various sources of information on allotechnology, mentioning figures like Adamski, Dan Fry, Buck Nelson, Howard Menger, and John de Land.

The article broadens the definition of allotechnology to include phenomena like Wilhelm Reich's orgone motor, John Worrell Keely's "Dynaspheric Force" ship, and T. Henry Moray's "Radiant Energy Device." It proposes that allotechnology can be understood in a wider context, with its principles discovered in various times and places, potentially forming the basis of higher technology in cultures that follow certain basic social and philosophical principles.

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE FROM JIMMY GODDARD

A list of publications is provided, including "Skyways and Landmarks Revisited" (re-examining Tony Wedd's work), "Campus Lines" (investigating leys), "Cosmic Friends" (communication with extraterrestrials), "Touchstone" (Surrey Earth Mysteries Group newsletter), and AMSKAYA itself.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alien contact, and the exploration of advanced or unconventional technologies, particularly 'allotechnology.' The STAR Fellowship, as the publisher of AMSKAYA, appears to be a proponent of investigating these phenomena, providing a platform for detailed accounts and theoretical discussions. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting evidence and theories from various sources, while also acknowledging skepticism and the need for further research.
