AMSKAYA

Magazine Overview

Title: AMSKAYA
Issue: No. 91
Date: April 2012
Publisher: STAR Fellowship

This issue of AMSKAYA, the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, focuses on the intersection of ancient sites, ley lines, and UFO phenomena, drawing heavily on the research of Tony Wedd and contemporary reports.

Fifty Years Ago: Tony Wedd's Investigations

The issue opens with a retrospective on Tony Wedd, founder of the STAR Fellowship, and his investigations fifty years prior. In 1962, Wedd, along with Philip Heselton and members of the Ley Hunter's Club, visited Avebury and France. Wedd's central theory was the link between 'leys' (lines of energy) and UFOs, building on the work of Alfred Watkins. He believed these ley points marked magnetic currents that extraterrestrial spacecraft might use. The trip to Avebury included visits to the site museum, Silbury Hill, and West Kennet Long Barrow. Wedd also noted alignments of trees that he theorised marked ley points.

Tony Wedd's 1962 trip to France is recounted, where he investigated sites indicated by Aime Michel in his book 'Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery'. Wedd searched for specific alignments and pine tree groups, noting similarities between ley points and Michel's orthoteny points. Despite some initial disappointments, he found promising points of similarity.

Recent Encounters and Anomalies

The magazine reports on an interesting encounter near Silbury Hill in October 2009. A police sergeant, off-duty, witnessed figures described as over 6ft tall with blond hair in a field. He heard a 'sound of static electricity' before the figures fled at extreme speed. Wiltshire Police declined to comment, citing it as a personal matter. Crop circle researcher Andrew Russell, investigating the incident, described the figures as wearing white coveralls and inspecting the crop.

Another incident from August 2009 involved a photograph taken by Audrey Davies and Stephen Morris near Silbury Hill, showing a strange diagonal shape and a shadow-like mark that did not appear in a subsequent photo taken moments later. The object was described as possibly indicating a superstructure.

A crop circle researcher, Busty Taylor, also reported seeing a UFO in the same area on October 17, 2009. While driving, he observed a hazy light that moved extremely fast, appearing to stretch out as if illuminated from the ground.

The Real Stonehenge and Avebury

Mollie Carey contributes an article discussing discoveries at Stonehenge and Avebury, suggesting that trained archaeologists may have overlooked significant details. She recounts her experience of hearing strange sounds and receiving 'impressions' while exploring the downs, leading her to believe there were carved stones at Stonehenge that were missed. Her health issues led her to move house, but she felt compelled to find these carvings.

Carey describes finding symbolic carvings at Stonehenge, including figures resembling a sphinx, a bull, a man on horseback, a fish, and a canoe load of fishermen. She notes that the stones depict people wearing clothes and shoes, and suggests they were created by a highly civilised people, possibly not the 'Ancient Britons' typically associated with the site. She also mentions a connection to Tiahuanaco in Bolivia, noting similarities in stone uprights and three-fingered hands in carvings.

She recounts a vision experienced at the helestone at Stonehenge, where it glowed and appeared as a serpent, with a man emerging from its mouth. This vision included a scene of a highly civilised race wearing rich clothes, singing, and playing music, suggesting a connection to 'Sky People' who had come to help survivors after a catastrophe.

Carey interprets the serpent carving as a sign from the 'Sky People', who 'travel the road of the Serpent along the Highways of the Suns'. She believes they came to help a civilisation that escaped a submerged continent and arrived in Britain and Ireland. The serpent symbolises creation and fertility, a meaning lost over centuries.

She identifies three figures at Stonehenge that might represent the Sky People: one in a military uniform with a mascot, another in a 'dress' uniform with propellers on its helmet, and a third depicted as a leader or 'dare-devil'. She also notes carvings of a huge profile head, a merged trilithon forming statues, and a figure on a sledge.

Carey also discusses the carvings at Avebury, describing them as a 'shadow carving' of lovers, a man with a moustache, and a woman with a headdress. She believes this depicts a reunion and is evidence of a sophisticated, possibly extraterrestrial, presence.

Publications and Resources

The issue concludes with information on several publications related to the STAR Fellowship and its research:

• The Hidden Unity and Beginnings: Explores subconscious siting of ley points, places of worship, and discoveries related to earth energy detection and cognitive dissonance.
• Earth People, Space People: A booklet based on Tony Wedd's unpublished manuscript, detailing extraterrestrial contact claims, the history of the STAR Fellowship, and evidence for life in the Solar System.
• The Legacy of Tony Wedd: A CD-ROM featuring Tony Wedd's exhibition on flying saucers, landscape energies, and lost technology.

AMSKAYA itself is described as the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, continuing the organisation founded by Tony Wedd in 1960.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the interconnectedness of ancient sites (Avebury, Stonehenge), ley lines, and UFO phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting theories and anecdotal evidence from researchers like Tony Wedd, Aime Michel, and contemporary witnesses. There is a strong emphasis on the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on ancient civilisations and modern-day sightings, encouraging readers to explore these mysteries further. The publication also highlights the importance of preserving and investigating these sites and phenomena.
