Articles and Content
Gaia Alone?
This article critically examines Jim Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis, which posits that Earth functions as a single, self-regulating organism. While acknowledging the complexity and scientific consideration given to the hypothesis, the author questions why such a sophisticated life-maintenance system would be unique to Earth. The author suggests that if a 'Gaia law' exists, it should operate universally, implying that planets with the tendency to produce Gaia systems would moderate conditions regardless of their distance from their sun. The author expresses distrust in information from government agencies and space probes, suggesting they might suppress evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Towards the Future: A Wider Context for Allotechnology
This section, by Philip Heselton, explores the concept of 'allotechnology,' which involves understanding and potentially utilizing extraterrestrial technology. It draws parallels between different contactee messages, emphasizing a common thread that humanity's evolution depends on spiritual science. The author quotes Dan Fry, who suggests that nuclear war is a symptom of a deeper human weakness: a lack of attention to the Supreme Creative Force and a failure to use it for love and consideration. The article advocates for prioritizing spiritual and social sciences over physical science and critiques the idea of 'doing more with less,' suggesting 'doing less with much less' is more beneficial. It touches upon sacred geometry and its potential application to allotechnology, and the role of dowsing in understanding how object shapes affect energy flow.
The Wonderful Ride of Dan Fry (Part 2)
This is the second part of a serialized article by Tony Wedd. It discusses the potential for extraterrestrials to obtain materials from Earth for their mutual benefit, suggesting they might be autonomous and 'scrump from others.'
Shape, Number, and Sound in Allotechnology
This section delves into the practical aspects of allotechnology. It examines the significance of shape, drawing parallels to aesthetic principles and design philosophy, referencing Rupert Sheldrake's work. The role of numerology is discussed, with specific numbers like seven (associated with romantic and mystical approaches) and five (creation of form) being highlighted. The article also explores the function of sound and music in allotechnology, suggesting sound might act as a 'trigger' for machines, citing Keely's use of a violin note. The potential for music to aid thought and healing, and to tune users and machines, is also considered.
Light and Color in Allotechnology
Color is presented as potentially important in allotechnology, with a brief mention of color healing and the idea that specific colors might be crucial for devices. The editor's wife's observation that people in red cars drive less well is humorously included. The concept of 'Venus light' is mentioned, suggesting that the reflection of light, particularly its quality, might affect a device's functioning. The unique quality of light during an eclipse is noted as potentially significant. The author shares a personal experience of receiving a design for a device that required reflected sunlight, implying that the reflected light had a special quality.
Materials in Allotechnology
The article discusses materials relevant to allotechnology, including metals, crystals, stones, water, and woods. It references medieval alchemists and their understanding of metals. Winifred Graville's advice to 'never use even-numbered metals' is mentioned, with potential interpretations relating to atomic numbers or the number of points on star shapes. Copper and silver are noted as commonly used metals, astrologically linked to Venus and the Moon. Gold's historical value and potential future discovery are also discussed.
Publications Available
A list of publications available from Jimmy Goddard is provided, including "Skyways and Landmarks Revisited" by Tony Wedd, "Campus Lines" (a project investigating leys), "Cosmic Friends" (an account of communication with extraterrestrials), "Touchstone" (newsletter of the Surrey Earth Mysteries Group), and "Amskaya" itself.
Man Says Aliens Told Him They Would Intervene In Atomic War
This article by Carl Davidson recounts the story of Larry White, who remained silent for 20 years about his encounter with extraterrestrials due to fear of ridicule. In October 1954, near Binghampton, N.Y., White met two beings from a planet called Bougratan in the Alpha Centauri galaxy. They arrived in a metallic gray, saucer-shaped spacecraft powered by an electro-magnetic turbine. The aliens, who had taken three Earth years to reach Earth, mentioned the atomic bomb and stated they would intervene if Earthmen started an atomic war. They were interested in Earth's agriculture, as their own civilization had lost the art of living off the land. White declined an invitation to visit their world. The encounter was followed by the appearance of a burned circle on the Eli Golf Course, which was investigated by police but not linked to White's story by the local press.
UFO Over the Nick
This brief report describes an incident in Ecclesfield, near Sheffield, where police received numerous calls about a bizarre craft floating in the sky. A police constable, Sue Jackson, investigated and witnessed a V-shaped machine hovering. The craft then flew off, disappearing from radar. A check with RAF Finningley revealed no aircraft in the area at the time.

A Case of Temperature Inversion
This section discusses a photograph taken by Alec Birch in February 1962, reportedly showing five UFOs over Sheffield. The article critiques a conventional explanation involving 'temperature inversions' and 'refracted light,' suggesting that the UFOs' appearance and the misty bubbles at the top imply a strong force field affecting light rays. It also mentions a previous issue of Amskaya containing a 'retraction' by Alex Birch.
Notes and News
This section welcomes new members to the STAR Fellowship and notes the increase in interest and sales of publications like "Cosmic Friends." It highlights an upcoming conference on UFOs and extraterrestrials in Rio de Janeiro from September 3rd to 6th, covering topics such as "Star Wars versus Star Peace" and "E.T. Contacts." The section also reports on a discussion of "earth light phenomena" at the Ley Hunter Moot in Swansea, where Project Pennine, a study of these lights, was presented. The author notes that the talk offered nothing new and seemed to reinforce the doctrine that earth lights eliminate extraterrestrial explanations for some UFOs.
Subscription Information
Information is provided for subscribing to Amskaya, stating it is published quarterly for £2 for four issues, with payment to be made to J. Goddard. The cover design is credited to David Taylor.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of Amskaya include the exploration of the Gaia hypothesis, the nature and implications of extraterrestrial contact and technology ('allotechnology'), and the potential for spiritual science to guide humanity's future. There is a consistent skepticism towards official explanations and a belief in the significance of phenomena often dismissed by mainstream science. The STAR Fellowship, as the publisher, appears to be a group dedicated to investigating and disseminating information on UFOs and related topics, encouraging open discussion and the sharing of personal experiences and research.
