Magazine Overview

Title: AMSKAYA
Issue: No. 45
Date: January 2000
Publisher: STAR Fellowship
Description: This issue of AMSKAYA, a newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, explores various aspects of UFO phenomena, contactee experiences, and related esoteric subjects, with a focus on perceived suppression of information and the potential for advanced technologies.

The Century of Might-Have-Been

The lead article, 'The Century of Might-Have-Been,' posits that the twentieth century could have witnessed humanity's greatest advance through open communication with 'space people.' However, a 'seemingly internationally powerful dark shadow' is accused of hindering this potential, suppressing optimistic predictions from figures like Desmond Leslie and George Adamski. The article suggests that individuals involved with flying saucers and those indicating better technologies have been 'terrorised,' with many likely murdered, and their books made unavailable. The case of Reinhold Schmidt is cited as an example, where his contact experience led to pressure from air force officials, detention, and a mental hospital, only resolved by external pressure. Science itself is accused of being corrupted, with evidence of habitable planets suppressed and false information disseminated.

The article highlights a significant shift in public perception since the 1950s, with an almost universal connection now made to 'abduction' and painful procedures. It suggests this may be a result of 'remote mind control' and 'psychotronics,' techniques that can manipulate perception and superimpose false memories. American researcher Thomas E. Bearden is mentioned for his work on concepts like Remote Brain Control and Electronic Dissolution of Memory, which could explain abduction experiences, medical examinations, and observed scars, attributing these to 'earth doctors and scientists' involved in a covert program initiated in the sixties.

A Gallup poll revealed that approximately 25 million Americans believed they had been abducted by 'small grey creatures.' Subsequent polls indicated about 10 million thought themselves Abductees, with scar patterns varying by region, suggesting different abduction programs. The article notes that reported abductions were predominantly on the American continent until a later period when claims emerged in England and Germany, possibly linked to American bases.

The author discusses 'psychotronics' as a means of transferring energy between mind and matter, capable of inducing illness or death, and potentially influencing masses through remote brain control. The article suggests that the 'abduction' narrative, often involving 'small grey creatures,' serves to distract from a secret American research project.

The Kearney Incident

This section details the experience of Reinhold Schmidt, as recounted in David Kammerer's book 'A Pawn of His Creator.' On November 5, 1957, near Kearney, Nebraska, Schmidt reported seeing a brilliant flash of light and a large, silvery craft that appeared to be made of metal. Upon approaching, his car engine stalled. Two men emerged from the craft, spoke with a German accent, and frisked him. Schmidt was invited aboard the ship, where he observed four women monitoring colored liquid in tubes and three men working on an instrument panel. The ship's interior walls appeared glassy, allowing him to see through them, despite the exterior seeming solid. The crew members moved with a gliding motion. Mr. X, the leader, spoke English with a German accent and prophesied that the first two US satellites would fail, but the third would launch with limited data, a prophecy that proved true.

After about half an hour, Schmidt was asked to leave. As he stepped out, the ship's motor started, and it ascended rapidly, turning pitch black and then bluish-green before vanishing. A county official later reported that the craft had stalled a tractor, two cars, and a large truck during its takeoff. Schmidt realized why his car had stalled earlier, as he had been warned not to start it until the ship was out of sight.

The Legacy of Tony Wedd

This section commemorates Tony Wedd, an artist and designer who founded the STAR Fellowship. Wedd was fascinated by contact claims after attending a lecture by Desmond Leslie about George Adamski. His work connected flying saucers with Alfred Watkins' discovery of prehistoric ley alignments, proposing a connection to a form of energy used by space people. During the 1960s, he researched leys and founded the STAR Fellowship. His proposed exhibition was never built, but a CD-ROM is intended to serve as an electronic form of it, featuring his narration. The CD-ROM is divided into three sections: 'Flying Saucers' (including the Silpho Moor disc and contactee accounts), 'Landscape Energies' (Tony's research into leys and earth energies), and 'Lost Technology' (devices utilizing universal energy).

Other Articles and Features

That Cigar Again! describes two sightings of cigar-shaped objects in the sky, one in 1998 with Eileen Roche in Addlestone and another on July 11th with the author's wife, Doris, between Wells and Croscombe. A similar sighting occurred on November 11th, 1999, near Stonehenge.

Surrey Earth Mysteries Group Meetings announces upcoming meetings, including a 'Zechariah Sitchin evening.'

The Hidden Unity and Beginnings reviews two booklets: 'The Hidden Unity,' which examines subconscious siting of ley points and places of worship, and 'Beginnings,' detailing discoveries in earth energy detection, natural antigravity, and subconscious siting, with a chapter on cognitive dissonance.

Earth People, Space People discusses a manuscript by Tony Wedd detailing extraterrestrial contact claims, which was never published. A booklet of the same name has been prepared to cover prominent contact claims, the history of the STAR Fellowship, evidence for life in the Solar System, and extraterrestrial language.

The newsletter also provides subscription information for AMSKAYA and details on how to order booklets.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and the alleged suppression of information by powerful entities. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for advanced, hidden technologies and the manipulation of public perception through covert means like remote mind control. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry into official narratives, advocating for the exploration of alternative explanations and the significance of esoteric research, such as ley lines and earth energies, as potentially understood and utilized by extraterrestrial visitors. The STAR Fellowship's mission to investigate and understand these phenomena is central to the publication's purpose.
