Amskaya - No 042 - 1998 04

Magazine Overview

AMSKAYA, Newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, Issue No. 42, dated April 1998. The cover features the title 'AMSKAYA' with a star symbol, and a stylized illustration of a road leading towards a desert landscape with a cloud and a flying saucer. The issue focuses on the enigmatic Lemniscate Coil and extraterrestrial encounters.

The Lemniscate Coil

The newsletter begins with a letter from R. Ashley Falk of New Zealand, who shares information about the Lemniscate Coil, received by Philip Rodgers as part of a free energy machine. Falk also includes a transcription of a tape by George Van Tassel about his contact experiences and an enclosure from the book "Tony Wedd - New Age Pioneer" detailing the construction of the Lemniscate Coil. The article notes that the coil appears to be built from Lakhovsky Oscillator Coils, designed for plant therapeutics, with dimensions that seem very similar. The Lemniscate Coil is described as being made from two Lakhovsky Oscillator Coils joined at the ends and realigned at right angles to each other, forming a figure-eight shape with a twist. The active energy force is suggested to be based on the Vital Force (Prana), as demonstrated by an "apple core" experiment.

An advertisement from an older radio periodical is also presented, showing a ready-assembled valve radio that used Lemniscate Coils, claiming they provided a greatly improved performance over standard coils. The article visually illustrates the construction of the Lemniscate Coil, noting that the coils are wound in opposite directions, crossing every 180 degrees, creating a 'caduceus winding'. The current utilized is akin to orgone energy or a derivative based on the vitality globule, which extraterrestrials refer to as the 'rms field' used to power their space vehicles.

George Van Tassel's Encounters

The issue features a report on a talk given by George Van Tassel in Auckland in November 1976, introduced by Russell Thorby. Van Tassel, born in 1910, is described as a UFO contactee who wrote several books in the 1950s and has appeared on numerous radio and television shows. He has engaged in magnetic experiments under the direction of 'Space Intelligences'. Van Tassel asserts that UFOs are not new, citing ancient Sanskrit records and the Bible. He recounts his personal experience on August 24, 1953, when a UFO landed at his airport. A being named Solgonda invited him aboard an 'Adamski type bell craft'. He describes the craft's interior, the appearance of the three other beings on board, and their method of communication via thought. Van Tassel details the instruments on the ship, which were unlike anything he had seen in aviation, featuring dials and tubes with spectrum-like markings.

He describes the suits worn by the extraterrestrials as being made of a fine knit material that adjusts to thermal conditions. Van Tassel also recounts being taken to the 'power section' and the 'catwalk' of the ship, noting a spinning rotor and a 'caduceus winding' similar to Ezekiel's wheels. He experienced an anti-gravity lift and estimated his time aboard the ship to be about twenty minutes. Upon leaving, he was transported back to the ground via a beam. Van Tassel also mentions the 'rms field' and its similarity to the 'vitality globule'.

Van Tassel further discusses the building of the Integratron, an architectural wonder inspired by extraterrestrials from Venus. He states that the aliens implanted the plans in his brain. The Integratron was designed as a high-voltage, electrostatic generator to recharge human cell structure using principles of crossing vortices. He hired an architect and began construction in 1954, incorporating research from Tesla and Lakhovsky. The project was funded by UFO conventions. Van Tassel died in 1978, with the project estimated to be 82 percent complete, as only the aliens knew how to finish it. The structure is described as a two-storey domed building with coils designed for healing powers.

Letters from Correspondents

Sten Lindgren from Sweden shares his 40 years of experience with space-ships and 32 years of direct physical contact with entities he calls the 'Brothers' (C.B.H. - Cosmic Brother Hood). He mentions his book "Dialogue with Cosmic Culture," which outlines rules for official contact and the strategy of C.B.H., stating that no mass landings will occur. Lindgren recounts his first observation of an extraterrestrial ship in 1957 and has since observed over 200 ships. His first physical communication was in 1963, and he has had contacts with representatives from about 10 extra-terrestrial groups. CBH has knowledge of Earth's history for 500,000 years and possesses advanced knowledge of energy, time, and gravitation. He describes these 'nordic type' extraterrestrials as being 170-180 cm tall and mentions psychological tests conducted in Sweden, including a significant event on October 29, 1965, with hundreds of UFO sightings across the country.

Major Hans Petersen from Denmark writes about his experiences, including working with Adamski and witnessing UFOs. He mentions an incident where Adamski filmed a flying saucer, and three space people appeared in the afternoon. Petersen claims to have detailed descriptions of various space objects from Adamski. He recounts personal experiences of seeing motherships and flying saucers, including one that landed near his car and another that appeared over his house. He also mentions having potentially baffling pictures from the Moon, which he obtained through a special process involving NASA.

Another correspondent discusses a UFO flap in Sweden starting January 9, 1985, in the Dalarna region, with over 250 observations in two weeks. He also mentions a 1991 operation in the Gothellburg-area involving large triangle-shaped crafts, similar to those seen over Belgium. The correspondent also references 'The 12th Planet' by Zecharia Sitchin, stating it was discovered by a Chilean astronomer and is predicted to be visible on August 11, 1999, with its influence already being felt.

Editorial Stance and Subscription Information

AMSKAYA is identified as the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, a continuation of the organization founded in 1960 by Tony Wedd, who believed contact was the way forward for flying saucer investigation. Subscriptions are available for £2 for four quarterly issues from J. Goddard.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of unconventional energy sources like the Lemniscate Coil and Lakhovsky oscillators, detailed accounts of extraterrestrial contact and technology, and the presentation of UFO sighting reports from various individuals. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting information from contactees, researchers, and personal testimonies without overt skepticism, aiming to provide a sober and understandable perspective on the UFO matter, distinguishing it from 'religious and sectarian nonsense'. The newsletter encourages a belief in the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations and their influence on human history and technology.
