AMSKAYA

Magazine Overview

AMSKAYA is the newsletter of the STAR Fellowship, a continuation of the organization formed in 1960 by Tony Wedd. This issue, No. 101, dated October 2014, focuses on UFO sightings, ley lines, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

The Isle of Wight Triangle

The lead article, "The Isle of Wight Triangle," by Tony Wedd, explores the connection between UFO sightings and leys, ancient sites, and alignments. Wedd discusses how three independent discoveries in the 1960s formed a right-angled triangle of leys on the Isle of Wight. Gordon Creighton's alignment from 1963 connected sightings in Bruton and Ringwood with the Charlton Crater. Ken Rogers identified the hypotenuse ley, the South Coast Orthoteny, which included sightings of a translucent dome with a red light at Plymouth and a strip of light at Weymouth, as well as a pinkish oblong object at Yarmouth. The author's own ley includes a sighting of an orange non-moving light in a daylight sky at Hendon. The article notes that these leys pass through various significant sites on the Isle of Wight, such as Ventnor Church and Ashey Down, where a doctor reported strange lights and a timeslip experience.

The article also mentions that this ley crosses the Calais-Southend orthoteny at right angles, suggesting a larger system. It acknowledges that UFO sightings are harder to pinpoint than ancient sites, but the independent discovery of three such alignments forming a triangle is considered remarkable.

Do Aliens Exist? Yes, And Some 'Look Just Like Us,' Says Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister

This article by Nadine DeNinno features an interview with Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Defense Minister and a believer in extraterrestrial life. Hellyer claims there are about 80 different alien species, some of whom look human and walk among us undetected. He mentions 'Nordic Blondes' and 'Tall Whites' as examples. Hellyer also expresses concern about humanity's use of atomic weapons and warns that aliens are unhappy with Earth's environmental stewardship. He recounts seeing a UFO himself over Lake Muskoka, Canada, which could change position rapidly.

UFOs are not only real, they're already here

By Amanda Milkovits, this article discusses Professor Ted Loder, a chemical oceanographer who studies UFOs. Loder is convinced of the reality of UFOs and believes a covert organization is trying to suppress information. He was influenced by his cousin, who worked under President Eisenhower and saw material from a crashed UFO in Roswell. Loder is involved with CSETI and believes many astronauts and military officials are coming forward with their experiences.

Letters

Norman Darwen from Lostock, Lancashire, writes about reports of filming in Rivington, Lancashire, and notes that several years prior, there were UFO reports centered on the Pigeon Tower in the same area, which were dismissed as being related to filming.

Web Sites and Resources

This section provides a list of relevant websites and resources related to extraterrestrial contact, including sites on leys, UFOs, and Tony Wedd's work. It also lists available publications from the STAR Fellowship, such as "The Hidden Unity and Beginnings," "Earth People, Space People," and "The Legacy of Tony Wedd" CD-ROM.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the interconnectedness of UFO phenomena with ancient sites and ley lines, the increasing number of reported UFO sightings, and the assertion that extraterrestrial life is real and present. The STAR Fellowship, through its newsletter AMSKAYA, promotes investigation into these phenomena and disseminates information from various sources, including interviews with prominent figures and reports of sightings from around the world. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, challenging official narratives and encouraging readers to consider the evidence.
