Awareness - 1992-93 - Vol 18 No 3

Magazine Overview

AWARENESS, The journal of Contact International (UK), Issue 3, 1991-2, Volume 18 No 3. This edition focuses on a "WORLD EXCLUSIVE" claim of telepathic contact with an alien lifeform and features a significant amount of information regarding UFOs, crop circles, and government involvement.

Editorial

The editorial, titled "EDITORIAL", highlights the importance of this edition due to a research team member believing they are in telepathic contact with another life-form. This contact has reportedly been ongoing for over three months, revealing "the very secrets of life". The editorial also forecasts a massive increase in crop circle phenomena and other new phenomena for 1993. A significant development is the Ministry of Defence's decision to "freely communicate with UFO groups", passing on actual UFO cases. The editorial questions whether this signifies the end of government cover-up or if only "dross" is being released. It also references a widespread sighting of blue lights on August 16th, 1992, across the UK, and discusses "Orgone Energy" and its potential link to crop circles, promising further expansion on this topic.

Statement from Contact International: An Alien Lifeform is Present in the Atmosphere

This section details a "WORLD EXCLUSIVE" statement from Contact International regarding a belief that an alien lifeform is present in the atmosphere. This life-form is described as "PURE ENERGY and EXTRATERRESTRIAL" and is believed to be responsible for crop circles and other UFO-related events since 1980. The life-form is said to have communicated directly with a research team member on June 25th, 1992, and telepathic communication has continued for three months. Three other witnesses are also believed to have achieved contact. The intelligence is described as "completely different to any previous known forms of life" and will remain on Earth permanently. The witness believes the life-form is "BENIGN" despite being vastly more advanced than humans. They are not visible but can be felt through manifestations and healing power. No spaceships or saucers are involved.

The Circle Makers

These entities are described as an extraterrestrial life form of pure energy that arrived in Earth's atmosphere on March 20th, 1980, after travelling one million light years from their planet, Metan. They use "time capsules" to travel and arrived in Earth's atmosphere in one year, on the other side of the galaxy. The life form feeds on pure energy and survived for a billion years until Metan began to die. The 950 entities left to seek fresh energy supplies and found Earth, with over 200 sites of free Earth energy, particularly in England. For 12 years, they have "tuned to the human race and 'fed' from the energies".

The 950 entities evolved simultaneously and describe themselves as "needle" shaped or like a "dentist's drill". The "eye of the needle" is the brain, measuring a foot across, and the shaft is an energy conversion unit varying from 6ft to 32ft according to the "wisdom" of the body. The colour stated is red. Wisdom is their sole reason for living. They do not reproduce or die. The variation in crop formations is attributed to the availability of energy supplies. The only known element present is Argon, an inert gas; the rest is pure energy. They exist in "another dimension - a time warp" and are reportedly "3 days ahead" of human time.

These bodies are scattered globally, with 52 in Britain due to its natural energy sources. Some bodies receive "parcels" of energy via the winds. Locations like Silbury Hill and Chilcomb down are mentioned as good sources. The entities are 1000ft above the surface and cannot descend below 500ft due to pollutants that would damage their structure. Where energy supplies are good, they can keep their temperature down to -90 degrees Celsius and create crop circles to reveal their presence.

The Purpose of Crop Circles

The visitors aim to create harmony with Earth inhabitants, viewing humans as "talented but foolish" who might eliminate themselves within a thousand years without guidance. They are concerned about pollution, which affects their ability to "feed" on Earth energy. They wish to make humanity aware of their extraterrestrial presence enigmatically, with a gradual revelation over a million years. The formations are primarily for the "competitive application of wisdom between the bodies" rather than for humans. The circles are formed about 750ft above the field, with a "parcel" or "pancake" of energy layers, approximately 50ft thick. The energy mass descends, accelerating in the final 50ft. Part of the "pancake" remains on the ground, detectable by dowsing. The process is timed for the early hours of the morning to ensure privacy, and the work is completed several days earlier, passing from their time to ours via a "time warp".

Questionnaire Responses

A prime witness communicated with the aliens via a moving needle selecting answers from a questionnaire. The aliens identified themselves as "AN ALIEN" and "ENERGY", located "IN THE ATMOSPHERE". They come from "ANOTHER PLANET" and are not from "THIS GALAXY". They have been present for "10-15 YEARS" and are here "TO REMAIN WITH YOU". They are "100,000+ YEARS" old. They are known to be here through "CROP FORMATIONS". Their spacecraft is "HIDDEN ON THE SURFACE". They are "NOT THE ONLY ALIEN VISITORS ON THIS PLANET" and there have been "UNCERTAIN" previous visitors. Their wisdom is enhanced by "GRADUAL SUBTLE INFUSION" and they are "OPENLY WORK WITH YOUR TEACHERS/LEADERS". They learn "A GREAT DEAL" from humans. Humans "CANNOT SURPASS YOUR LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE" "CERTAINLY IN TIME". They have "NOT VERY MUCH" knowledge of energy at present. Humans are "1,000,000 YEARS" from travelling in time. They create crop circles because "WE THE ALIENS MAKE THEM". They claim only "0-5%" of formations are created by hoaxers. They predict "INCREASE 10 TIMES OR MORE" crop circles in 1993. The size of formations will "TREBLE IN SIZE". Formations will be seen "EVERYWHERE". They expect formations to appear for "10,000+ YEARS". Crop formations are made to show "COMPETITION BETWEEN US". Crop formations will "BECOME MANY TIMES MORE COMPLEX" next year.

MOD Files Released!

This section presents information from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) regarding UFO files. The MOD has provided a letter and five cases, claiming to have had years of non-commitment on the subject. The letter states that the MOD receives reports of "lights or discs in the sky, or various ill-defined lights or objects" and has received a "very small number of letters that might fall into the category of a close encounter of the third or fourth kind". The reports are released to researchers, with information relating to the identity of witnesses and personal details deleted. The MOD draws no conclusions from the material and remains open-minded. Files held by the office only go back to 1985, with previous files archived. Prior to 1967, UFO files were destroyed after five years.

Case 1

A witness reports an incident in May 1989 near Feltham Lane. While sleeping, they heard a sound like a railway engine. Looking towards the railway lines, they saw a flying saucer land. Two aliens emerged, described as humanoid, dressed in black, with lights of red, blue, and white coming from the saucer. The witness hid while one alien pointed at them, shouting to "capture that man". The second alien checked the engines, which sounded like a train but louder. The witness questions if a human could build such a craft and notes the aliens speak perfect English. They use their engines for taking off and landing near railway lines as a cover. The incident lasted about five minutes. The witness also mentions a similar report in a local paper a few weeks later near a railway line. The case highlights the existence of real engines on flying saucers and their ability to fool radar.

Case 2

A witness recounts an experience on January 23rd, 1991, near Somerset. While driving from Southport to Manchester with their mother, they encountered a bright light. Their vehicle was slowed by an odd, black 1930s-style car in front. The driver was described as tall, stocky, and wearing a strange German hat. The witness's car was slowed to a standstill. Looking out, they saw an unusually shaped craft, about 30 feet above, with huge, dazzling lights, described as being the size of a double-decker bus on its side twice. Time seemed to stand still, and they felt nothing. The car in front and the craft disappeared suddenly. Later, the craft reappeared, described as a "beautiful thing all lit up", with a dome amidst the light. The witness's car returned to normal, but the car's lights went haywire, and they smelled a strange sweet burning. They experienced a missing time of 55 minutes and had terrible dreams. The witness also mentions blue marks on their thighs and feeling sick for a couple of days. They are seeking an explanation for the event.

Case 3

This case, dated early 1987 in Cheshire, involves a witness who believes "aliens" are here to grant "landing permission". They claim to recognize these aliens as the legendary "Feathered Serpents" from prehistory in Inca Peru. The witness has had a first-kind encounter for years, communicating with beings described as a mix of three species: birds, snakes (Cobra type), and man, referred to as "Magpie". They communicate telepathically. The witness believes these beings are peaceful and have immense power, estimating their length at least 20 feet. They have huge heads and can fly like birds and move like tree snakes. The witness suggests that the landing region will be bathed in a strong, golden light, explaining the historical obsession with gold. The witness also inquires about UFOs over Perth, Scotland, and mentions a "fleet" of ships, including a white ship patrolling the Welsh coast.

Case 4

Dated April 26th, 1988, from Merseyside, this letter addresses a crashed UFO. The witness states that a crashed UFO was recovered by the military, and they want to know the exact date and location. They mention "Pussylock Warden" as a possible location. The witness claims to be a female from "Amazon", a planet of warrior women, orbiting one of the two uninhabited planets in the Sirius system. The "Spectrans" are described as white with oriental features, no hair, and "Mr Spock" ears, and can interbreed with Terrans. They are part of the "Federation of Nine". The people the recipient works with are from a planet orbiting 82 Iridani, described as "brothers" and descendants of Adam. The witness states they are a wearer of the purple, a top rank in the military, and were asked by "Adrasta" and "Utravina" to check out what was going on.

Case 5

This case, dated March 8th, 1990, from Edinburgh, responds to a letter received on March 9th, 1982. The witness states their information is no longer classified and details their work on UFO research and psychic contact with an ET named Algar since 1958, until Algar was killed by another race of beings in 1981. The witness recounts an experience at age seven in Glasgow, where they found three indentations in the ground in a triangular formation, suggesting a UFO landing. They later had visits from ETs, described as green gas that solidified. A large green woman-like entity with eyes all over and "fat worms" sticking out of her head visited three times. The witness's father tried to get into the bedroom, and the entity disappeared. The witness also describes semi-transparent, slug-like creatures crawling up the wall in 1959, which they and band members shot at with air rifles. The creatures appeared to be made of cement when killed and sometimes disappeared into the ground. The witness and Algar formed a strong bond, and a telepathic link occurred when the witness was on guard duty, alerting them to a stranger in the field. The stranger was brought to the guard house. The witness and their wife formed a team in May 1979 to collect data on UFOs, including the meaning of different colored lights and how they evade radar. They visited bases in Wirral and Cheshire. In June 1981, Algar was ready to approach the government, but his team was killed by another race of ETs. On October 24th, 1981, the witness was attacked by an ET who died during the attack.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are alien contact, the nature of extraterrestrial life (pure energy beings), the phenomenon of crop circles and their potential purpose, and the role of government agencies like the MOD in relation to UFO information. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, presenting potentially controversial claims and personal testimonies while encouraging readers to form their own conclusions. There's a clear interest in the scientific and investigative aspects of UFO phenomena, as well as a willingness to explore more esoteric concepts like Orgone Energy and telepathic communication.

This issue of Contact magazine, Volume 19, Number 2, dated Winter 1991 (though articles discuss events in 1992), is published by Contact International (U.K.) and focuses on UFO phenomena, crop circles, and related mysteries. The cover features a striking illustration by Robert Ramsden with the quote, "Hold out the planet and welcome visitors." The main headline highlights a "CROP CIRCLE REPORT 1992."

Crop Circle Report 1992

Geoff Ambler and Paul Anderson report on the 1992 crop circle season, noting a slow start with many formations being obscure and potentially hoaxes. However, from July 9th onwards, spectacular large formations began to appear, particularly in Wiltshire. These included a "snail" formation at Alton Barnes (over 400ft), a double dumb-bell at Aston Rowant, Oxfordshire, and a complex pictogram at Froxfield, Wiltshire. The authors note the powerful energies present and the excellent definition of these later formations, suggesting that hoaxers would have to be extremely determined to create them under adverse weather conditions.

Paul Anderson also reviews his 1992 predictions, noting that while some were accurate (like a formation near Avebury), others were not. He discusses the "UFO at Alton Barnes" event, which was part of "Operation Contact Blackbird."

Operation Contact Blackbird

This operation, which took place between July 20th and 30th, 1992, on Woodborough Hill, involved teams from CPR (Colin Andrews) and CSETI (Civilian Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). The initiative aimed to invite "circle makers" to produce a crop marking through "thought" communication. The team engaged in nightly "mind awakening" programs, with success reported on the night of July 23rd. The following morning, a new triangular formation of three circles was found near Devizes, coinciding with a UFO sighting the previous night.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

Several significant sightings are detailed:

• Phobos 2 Space Probe Incident: Peter Baldwin reports on ITN broadcasts showing infra-red photos from the Phobos 2 probe of Mars. One photo revealed a "Chaotic Terrain" with circular shapes, and another showed a large cigar-shaped shadow. A third, unscreened photo, reportedly showed something "that should not have been there." ITN later debunked the report, suggesting it was an April Fool's spoof or equipment aberration.
• Structured Craft Sighting: On July 27th, four witnesses observed a large "STRUCTURED CRAFT," estimated at 50-80ft in diameter, hovering near the Kennet and Avon canal. The craft emitted lights and moved behind trees.
• Milan, Indiana Encounter (Case 1): On January 19th, 1967, a freshman saw a silvery disc-shaped object, 7.5ft in diameter, move towards his house. The object left dead vegetation in its path.
• Reed Thompson Encounter (Case II): In April 1973, Reed Thompson reported an encounter with two "Men in Black" (MIB) at his store. They demanded a photograph negative, and later, he and his assistant found their yellow Buick empty of an interior. The MIB and their car vanished instantly.
• David Ellis Encounter (Case II): David Ellis, a publican, reported an encounter with two MIB who asked about his wife and children and knowledge of UFOs. Previously, his family had been chased by a yellow ovoid craft that caused electromagnetic effects and stopped clocks in the house.
• Albert Bender Account (Case 3): Albert Bender claimed three MIB visited him in 1953, threatening him if he revealed information about UFOs, suggesting the US government had known the truth for two years.

Opinion and Analysis

Geoff Ambler, the editor, reflects on the "difficult season" for crop circle research, attributing some of the obscurity to the "Doug and Dave" revelations and the fear of tabloid "dirty tricks." He notes that while many Ufologists, scientists, and mystics are producing output, it may be generating more "red herrings than hot dinners." He observes that foreign countries like Germany, Japan, and America show significant interest, suggesting crop circle expertise might become an export.

Maralee Gibson reviews the Sheffield Independent UFO Network Conference, finding it informative despite initial impressions that it might be a debunking event. She emphasizes trusting one's own "knowing" over so-called experts. She also notes the meticulousness of William Moore's reporting but questions his omission of the Roswell "companion" incident.

Dr. John Shaw's approach to incorporating personal experiences is criticized for not making experiencers feel heard. Jenny Randles is described as aligned with the "Head camp," providing data but lacking "heart" knowledge.

Books and Services

The magazine includes advertisements for books on UFOs, crop circles, and related topics, including works by Timothy Good, George Andrews, Jenny Randles, and John Michell. It also promotes the "UFO NEWSCLIPPING SERVICE" and lists various UFO and space age publications available for purchase. Information is provided for forming a catalogue of UFO groups.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, particularly UFO sightings and crop circle phenomena. There is a clear interest in firsthand accounts and witness testimony, often contrasting these with the perspectives of "experts" and official explanations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to draw their own conclusions while acknowledging the potential for hoaxes and misinterpretations. The recurring theme of "Men in Black" highlights a darker, more intimidating aspect of the UFO phenomenon, suggesting a possible cover-up or a deliberate effort to suppress information. The magazine also touches upon the idea of blending scientific investigation with intuitive understanding, as seen in the discussion of William Moore's work and the Sheffield conference review.
