Transcript of talk by Howard and Connie Menger on Farewell Good Brothers

This section presents a transcript of Howard and Connie Menger's appearance on 'Farewell Good Brothers'. The transcript is noted as being disjointed due to editing. Howard Menger reiterates his claim of having traveled to the Moon in 1956, prior to official space missions. He describes seeing dome-shaped buildings and people working there, including Chinese, Russians, and Americans, all collaborating on these structures. He expresses bewilderment that current scientific opinions might contradict his experience, even questioning if the beings he met were truly Venusians, despite his earlier certainty. Connie Menger reflects on the initial expectation that humanity would soon interact with higher civilizations, but notes the lack of progress in global cooperation and civility on Earth. She believes that contact has been delayed because of humanity's current state. Howard Menger characterizes Earth's inhabitants as barbarians compared to the angelic aliens, who he claims abandoned war thousands of years ago and assisted in the creation of scriptures.

Connie Menger acknowledges the scientific community's need for material evidence and replication to accept claims. Howard Menger recounts seeing a hurricane from his craft while leaving Earth and taking photos of Earth and the approach to the Moon. He mentions that his slides of the Moon's far side, taken in 1956, aligned perfectly with later Russian photographs, serving as personal evidence for his journey. He states he is not trying to prove his Moon visit but is interested in how the aliens achieved it. He describes the alien craft operating on electro-dynamic principles, not aerodynamic ones, and explains a demonstration involving air pressure and a funnel to illustrate the concept. He mentions that the craft's design is a copy of a small solar system.

Connie Menger introduces their first book, which details Howard's experiences from the 1940s and 1950s, aiming to capture the nuance and direct experience. She notes the positive reception and lack of ridicule from the public. Howard Menger confirms his attraction to Connie at first sight, leading to their relationship.

Howard Menger discusses facing opposition and unpleasant experiences, including an incident in Colorado. He recounts being threatened by individuals demanding plans for his craft and inventions, which he managed to deter by displaying an empty pistol. He clarifies that while he initially assumed beings from Venus were Venusians, he now believes they were not, comparing it to astronauts being called 'Moon people'. He emphasizes that his motivation is to share the story with the public, not for financial gain. Connie Menger expresses pain at accusations of doing this for money, stating they haven't lectured for money in thirty years and have invested their own resources, even struggling due to social security limitations.

George Adamski on Farewell Good Brothers

This section features an interview with George Adamski. He confirms having communicated with extraterrestrials through gestures and mental telepathy. He states that while one individual did not speak English initially, he has since met him and he speaks English fluently. Adamski reiterates that this individual claimed to be from Venus, but Adamski has also met beings from other planets.

Skyways and Landmarks Part 5 by Tony Wedd

Tony Wedd describes an exciting location to the north where a spring emerged from a hillside, powering a water wheel. He discusses alignments he observed from Chiddingstone Castle and a Scots pine clump at Chested, which led him to identify a specific alignment on a map that connected to One Tree Hill. He also notes another parallel alignment through Chiddingstone Castle, involving several other locations, suggesting a connection to Buck Nelson's theories on 'naming and numbering' of lines.

NOTES AND NEWS

This section announces Ken Rogers' upcoming book, 'The Warminster Triangle', which is to be released at Christmas. The book covers a range of unusual subjects associated with the Warminster area, including strange sounds, lights, crop circles, electromagnetic effects, ghosts, folklore, energy lines, ancient sites, UFO landings, humanoids, and invisible walkers. It also mentions a 'major astro-archaeological discovery at Avebury' and is foreworded by the Marquess of Bath. The book costs £11.95 and will be published by Specialist Knowledge Services.

The Hidden Unity and Beginnings

This section reviews two booklets brought out by the Surrey Earth Mysteries Group. 'The Hidden Unity' examines the phenomenon of subconscious siting of ley points and the tendency for places of worship to be located on leys. It discusses environmental and philosophical implications, highlighting the necessity of worship over doctrine. Two ley centers are examined in depth: the Shah Jehan Mosque in Woking and the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Scunthorpe. An appendix by Eileen Grimshaw covers the significance of the Pagan religion. The booklet is illustrated with photographs, maps, and line drawings.

'Beginnings' is about discoveries made by Jimmy Goddard over twenty years, some overlapping with others' findings. These investigations, mostly in their early stages, include earth energy detection, natural antigravity, subconscious siting, ley width, and the solar transition effect. It also includes a chapter on cognitive dissonance. The booklet concludes with an account of the discovery of leys by Alfred Watkins. Each booklet costs £1 plus 30p postage and packing.

AMSKAYA Subscription Information

AMSKAYA is described as the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, a continuation of an organization formed in 1960 by Tony Wedd. It is available for £2 for four quarterly issues from J. Goddard. The original cover design was by David Taylor. Instructions are given for subscribers whose subscriptions are due.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFOs, alien contact, space travel, and alternative explanations for phenomena often dismissed by mainstream science. There is a strong emphasis on personal testimony and anecdotal evidence, particularly from Howard Menger and George Adamski, who claim direct experience with extraterrestrials. The publication also delves into Earth mysteries, ley lines, and ancient sites, suggesting a connection between these phenomena and a broader understanding of consciousness and the universe. The editorial stance appears to be open to unconventional ideas and critical of what is perceived as a lack of openness or a cover-up by established scientific and governmental bodies. The STAR Fellowship, through AMSKAYA, aims to disseminate information and perspectives outside the mainstream, encouraging public awareness of these subjects.
