Amskaya - No 081 - 2010 01

Magazine Overview

AMSKAYA, Issue No. 81, January 2010, is the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship. The cover features the title 'AMSKAYA' with a stylized asterisk, and a drawing depicting a desert landscape with a UFO, a road, and mountains. The main headline highlights a UFO-like eclipse light described in 'Sky at Night Magazine'. The issue is priced at £2 for four quarterly issues.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

The issue is primarily dedicated to recent UFO sightings reported by individuals across the globe. A letter from Michael Graham in Bebington recounts a sighting from 1964 of an object moving erratically in the sky, changing direction and stopping suddenly, which he notes was unusual for artificial satellites at that time. The editor of 'Sky at Night Magazine' suggested multiple satellites or meteors but admitted these explanations were not entirely satisfactory.

Under the heading 'MANY UFOS SEEN ALREADY IN 2010', the newsletter presents several contemporary reports:

• Friday, January 1, 2010 - Lima, Peru: A wave of mass UFO sightings across South America, including Argentina, Peru, and Chile, caused panic. Reports described 'mother ships' and 'cigar-shaped' crafts, with at least one incident accompanied by a power outage.
• Eastwood, Nottingham (October 2009 - January 2010): A family reported a progression of UFO sightings, starting with a pulsating star-like object that later appeared as a triangle-shaped craft with orange lights and a humming sound. Multiple objects were seen, and later, orange comet-like objects were observed moving in formation.
• Florida (01-02-10): A bright star-shaped UFO was seen flying near three small planes and then accelerating rapidly to the east. The witness noted that UFOs have been coming closer to rooftops lately.
• Nevada (01-02-10): A steady stream of red lights was observed traveling at high speed on I-80, resembling vehicle tail lights but in an impossible direction. The objects vanished quickly.
• Oregon (12-31-09): A thin, cigar-shaped object with red glowing lights and search patterns was seen flying over a grocery store during a mild rainstorm. It moved slowly and steadily.
• Tennessee (12-31-09): Multiple disc-shaped objects, appearing to be on fire, were seen hovering and then vanishing at high speed. Similar sightings were reported by a neighbor.
• Cardiff, UK (New Year's Eve 2010): A reddish-orange glow was observed moving in a straight line at high speed, appearing to 'burn out' and vanish. Several similar objects were seen.
• Werrington (01-01-10): A bright orange light was seen traveling east to west, dimming and fading out. The witness compared it to the ISS but noted it was distinctly orange and moving in the opposite direction.
• Enfield, Middlesex (01-01-10): Four bright orange lights were observed, with two moving north-south and two east-west. They converged, remained stationary, and then dispersed rapidly.

Historical Contactee Accounts

The issue also delves into historical accounts of extraterrestrial contact:

• George Van Tassel: His dome-shaped building, the Integraton, built on instructions from extraterrestrials for rejuvenation, is now a boarding house. Van Tassel, an aircraft mechanic, was known for hosting flying saucer conventions at Giant Rock, California, and authored 'I Rode a Flying Saucer' and 'The Council of Seven Lights'. His own contact experience involved an extraterrestrial named Solganon showing him a craft.
• Richard Miller: A lesser-known contactee from the 1950s, Miller claimed to have contacted extraterrestrials via short-wave radio. He encountered a disc-shaped object called 'Phoenix' and met an extraterrestrial commander named Soltec, who spoke of the 'Universal Confederation' and the need for mankind to awaken to higher spiritual values before Earth could become a member.
• Russian Submarine Sightings: A recent UFO Files program mentioned unidentified submarine objects followed by Russian submarines, with Paul Stonehill researching declassified Soviet documents. A photographed cigar-shaped object resembled an Adamski-type spacecraft.

Extraterrestrial Life and Space Travel

An article titled 'Extraterrestrial Life & UFOs' from the website webpan.com discusses the increasing likelihood of life in the universe due to the discovery of extrasolar planetary systems. It addresses why scientists might reject the idea of alien visitation, citing the perceived infeasibility of interstellar travel, but draws parallels to historical scientific impossibilities like flight and nuclear power. The article suggests that a revolution in physics might be imminent.

Free Energy and Propulsion

Tom Bearden, a nuclear physicist, is mentioned for designing a prototype 'Motionless Electromagnetic Generator' (MEG) that produces electrical energy from the vacuum (zero-point energy). The article posits that widespread adoption of free energy devices could solve global problems, end environmental destruction, and provide 'the freedom of the solar system'. It also touches upon NASA's research into advanced propulsion concepts, including the possibility of engineering space-time for superluminal travel, akin to Star Trek's warp drive.

Publications and Websites

The issue promotes several publications and resources related to UFOs and extraterrestrial contact:

• The Hidden Unity and Beginnings: Booklets by J. Goddard exploring subconscious siting, ley points, environmental implications, earth energy detection, natural antigravity, and cognitive dissonance.
• Earth People, Space People: A booklet by J. Goddard detailing extraterrestrial contact claims and the history of the STAR Fellowship.
• The Legacy of Tony Wedd: A CD-ROM of Tony Wedd's exhibition on flying saucers, landscape energies, and lost technology.
• AMSKAYA Subscription: Information on subscribing to the newsletter.
• Websites: A list of relevant websites is provided, including those on extraterrestrial contact, flying saucers, lost technology, and ancient sites.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, extraterrestrial contact, and the potential for advanced technologies like free energy and propulsion. The STAR Fellowship, through its newsletter AMSKAYA, maintains a stance of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting witness testimonies and research alongside discussions on the scientific and philosophical implications. The publication seems to encourage the belief that humanity is not alone and that significant technological and spiritual advancements are possible, potentially driven by extraterrestrial knowledge or new scientific discoveries.
