Type: Newsletter
Content Summary
This issue of AMSKAYA, the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, explores various facets of the UFO phenomenon and related mysteries. The lead article, "ABDUCTIONS EVERYWHERE," reflects on a television discussion about UFOs and abduction, noting a disturbing trend where abduction is tacitly assumed and a case where an abductee's egg cells were reported missing. The author contrasts this with their own positive experiences with extraterrestrial communication.
The newsletter features two articles from a 1969 issue of "Awareness" magazine: one by Tony Wedd and another by Paul Screeton. These articles are presented as historically significant, offering a perspective on how thoughts about UFOs and related topics have evolved.
A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the connection between ley lines and UFOs. The article "BETWIXT EARTH AND SKY" by Paul Screeton details the history of ley hunting, from Alfred Watkins' initial research into trackways to Tony Wedd's linking of leys with UFO orthoteny (the theory that UFOs fly in straight lines). The article discusses research by various ufologists and mentions the difficulty in proving a direct link, while acknowledging the potential significance of the 'power' emanating from leys.
Another article, "ON COVETING: THE TENTH COMMANDMENT" by Tony Wedd, presents a discourse attributed to extraterrestrials. This discourse explains coveting as a result of lacking spiritual values and an insatiable desire for material goods. It advocates for spiritual growth and balance, suggesting that true contentment comes from developing spiritual power rather than accumulating possessions. The text also touches upon the idea that extraterrestrials do not seek to conquer Earth but to help humanity achieve balance.
The issue also includes a section promoting various publications available from Jimmy Goddard, including books on ley lines, UFOs, and Earth mysteries such as "SKYWAYS AND LANDMARKS REVISITED," "CAMPUS LINES," "COSMIC FRIENDS," "THE INHABITED SOLAR SYSTEM," "TOUCHSTONE," and "ENIGMAS OF THE PLAIN."
A press release for "THE UFO REPORT 1990," edited by Timothy Good, is included, highlighting its content on UFO recovery cases, international sightings, President Reagan's sighting, British mystery circles, and the Rendlesham Forest case.
The issue also features a report on a UFOlogy course held in Ossett, West Yorkshire, with an eyewitness account and discussions among participants. The article "Cynics lose in close encounter with UFOphiles" from The Guardian is also reprinted, detailing the course and the skepticism faced by UFO enthusiasts.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of AMSKAYA are the investigation of UFO phenomena, the potential connection between ancient earth mysteries (specifically ley lines) and UFO sightings, and the philosophical or spiritual implications of extraterrestrial contact. The STAR Fellowship, as represented by this newsletter, appears to be open to exploring unconventional theories and promoting communication with extraterrestrial intelligences, while also emphasizing the importance of spiritual development over material pursuits. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry, presenting various perspectives and research findings within the UFO and Earth mysteries communities.
