The Silpho Moor Message

Stephen Balon is searching for the Silpho Moor disc, which crashed in Yorkshire in 1957 and is now missing. Tony Wedd recounts his handling of the disc in 1970, describing it as being made of thick copper, with an inner and outer layer. He also discusses a message found inside, written on copper scrolls. Wedd expresses conviction in the disc's genuineness despite some anomalous claims, such as 'No-one from space has ever landed on the earth'.

Mr. Dickinson, the solicitor who handled the disc, is no longer discussing the subject due to ridicule. The disc was reportedly stored in his attic and parts were taken by visitors. Wedd details how Dickinson recovered the disc after placing a notice in the paper, with a person bringing it in for ten pounds.

Wedd explains the coding of the message, which was in English but used a unique system of L and T shaped punches to create a 16-cipher alphabet. The message discussed the senders' planet, their views on Earth's manners, and proposed a United Nations-like organization to prevent war, drawing from their own past experiences with war.

Mr. Dickinson and two friends witnessed the disc's descent, described as a blazing light. When they reached the spot, the object had vanished. Later, another disc-like object was found and recovered by Dickinson, which he believed to be the same one, though it had been damaged.

Text of the Scrolls (from Flying Saucer Review, 1957)

This section presents the translated message from the Silpho Moor Disc, attributed to 'Ulo' and secretary 'Tarngee'. They state that no one else has landed on Earth and that men cannot travel far in space vehicles due to speed and direction changes. They describe their vehicles as having 'control' and 'auto-control' for avoiding objects.

The message details their physical characteristics, with Ulo being 42 Earth years old and living for 126 Earth years. They prefer men aged 31-60. Their clothing is described, and they mention their skin color is light with sun. They use metal for writing to avoid burning and electric reasons, employing a stamp system.

Ulo expresses that their council does not wish to communicate with Earth, as humans are considered 'baddies'. However, Ulo and Tarngee, being 'anarchistally minded', decided to send a message via an obsolete disc rigged for a one-way journey and programmed to explode on landing. They advise avoiding future wars by establishing a global organization, referencing their own planet's past wars.

They mention hearing Earth's music, finding some of it good but also deploring 'howling as in pain'. They agree that races are 'evil' but were not always so. They understand humans are 'killers of each other' and believe it is good to wait for humanity to improve or disappear.

They discuss the atomic energy for destruction, warning that its use could destroy most animal life. They also mention the fear of atomic bombs, the cost of testing, and the potential for radiation. Their recording vehicles sometimes detect radiating atoms.

World Council Needed

The message advocates for a world council composed of individuals not belonging to any country, to act as fair judges and prevent attacks. It suggests that if a country is attacked, it should message the council, which would then order the attacker to desist, with fierce arms available if necessary. The council would have the power to seize money and goods from aggressors.

It is noted that some leaders do not wish for peace as it would reduce their power. The council should stop money and goods to countries that disobey its rules. The message also suggests that countries are afraid to stop attacks by larger nations due to potential destruction of their houses and factories.

The United Nations is deemed useful for other work but not for controlling fights and goods, suggesting a race council for these matters.

The message is sent to Britain, with the hope that 'friends nature tries many times for the two make one'.

Notes and News

Tunguska Cigar and Artefact

This section discusses the Tunguska explosion of 1908 in Siberia. Eyewitnesses reported a glowing object and multiple explosions. A local shaman saw a cylinder with sparks flying out of the epicentre. Uri Lavbin believes the event was an alien encounter gone awry, having unearthed anomalous matter with a silicon coating, similar to space shuttle heat shielding. He suggests it could be fragments from an intergalactic ship.

Tony's Manuscript Located

Timothy Good has located Tony Wedd's manuscript 'Earth Men, Space Men', previously thought lost. This manuscript compiles contact stories and was the basis for 'Earth People, Space People'.

Hubert Lewis Encounter

A reprinted contact from Wedd's manuscript describes Hubert Lewis encountering a tall figure and a rotating object near Church Stretton in 1957. He was rebuked for his language and told that life is a probationary period, and that his deceased family were with him. The visitor vanished, theorized to be a projection or hologram.

Tony Speaks on the Internet!

A Tony Wedd web site has been created, featuring his voice speaking about extraterrestrial science as given to various contactees.

Unearthly Disclosure

An excerpt from Timothy Good's book 'Unearthly Disclosure' is mentioned, detailing craft that travel in water and are seen entering or leaving it, with evidence of underwater bases in the Bermuda Triangle area. Timothy Good was a member of the STAR Fellowship.

Talk by George Van Tassel

Part 4 of a talk by George Van Tassel, introduced by Russell Thorby and R. Ashley Falk, is presented. Van Tassel recounts his questioning of US Administration and Military officials about revealing UFO information. He states they are not elected to tell the people and are not answerable to them, passing the buck to the Church. Van Tassel also discusses the resistance to accepting UFOs and the concept of hate directed towards them.

He emphasizes the importance of metaphysical study and meditation for self-discovery and understanding. He recounts conducting a meditation group in the desert in 1948 and continuing meditation for 22 years.

Summary of Other Content

Lost Technology and Economy

Tony Wedd discusses how advanced technology, such as anti-gravity and magnetic motors, could revolutionize industries and eliminate the need for petrol, thus wrecking the current economy based on destruction and the dollar. He states that this information has been withheld by governments to prevent the collapse of the class structure of economy and the power of money.

Several book titles are advertised at reduced prices, including 'A Covert Agenda', 'The UFO Encyclopedia', 'Confirmation The Hard Evidence', 'The Threat', and 'Satan's Mistress'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO crashes and messages, extraterrestrial contact, the potential for alien intervention or communication, and the need for global cooperation and a shift away from destructive technologies and economic systems. The STAR Fellowship, as the publisher, appears to advocate for open investigation into UFO phenomena and the dissemination of information related to extraterrestrial contact and advanced technologies. There is a clear stance against the suppression of information by governments and a belief in the transformative potential of advanced technologies for humanity's benefit, provided the current economic structures are overcome.
