Editorial: Is "Alien" Technology Destroying Us?

The editorial posits that many rapid technological advancements since 1947 may be the result of back-engineering captured alien craft. It raises concerns about the hidden dangers of modern technology, suggesting that governments and corporations may be covering up issues for profit or strategic reasons. Specific concerns include:

• Aircraft Travel: Deep veined thrombosis (DVT) due to restricted legroom and the spread of infections from recirculated air on long-haul flights.
• Mobile Phones: Potential links between radiation from mobile phones and booster towers to brain tumors and other cancers, with millions of devices in use.
• Depleted Uranium: The use of depleted uranium shells in the Gulf and Balkans wars is suspected of causing leukemia and other serious illnesses among troops.
• Electronic Devices: Unknown radiation effects from televisions and computers, with an anecdote about a computer server causing paint to peel from a nearby wall.

The editorial concludes that if this is "alien technology," it is designed for aliens who would be immune to its harmful effects, while humans are not designed for it and accept it without understanding the risks.

News In Brief

• "Alien" Bacteria Found: Unidentified bacteria were discovered in a high-flying balloon operated by the India Space Research Organisation, potentially originating from a comet. Samples are being analyzed at the Astrobiology Centre in Cardiff.
• Space Laboratory Lights Up: The new international space station's reflectors make it a bright object in the night sky. Meanwhile, the Russian space station Mir is scheduled for a controlled de-orbit into the Pacific Ocean.
• Depleted Uranium Scares and Cover-Ups (2): Following up on previous mentions, the article reports that Italian forces have experienced deaths from leukemia among their Balkan contingents, with similar reports from Spanish, Belgian, and Dutch troops. The Ministry of Defence denies problems but is initiating an investigation.

Editor's Notes and Other Briefs

• Petrol Blockades: The September 2000 petrol blockades in the UK are cited as an example of how a small, coordinated group could cripple essential services, highlighting societal vulnerability.
• Military Readiness: Reports indicate a significant percentage of RAF defence/attack aircraft and the nuclear submarine fleet were out of service, with the army facing fitness and equipment issues.
• Extreme Weather: A review of extreme weather conditions in Britain over 50 years, including heavy snow, flooding, droughts, and hurricanes, is presented, questioning whether future weather is determined by humans or nature.

Articles

Heavenly Openings and UFOs (The Astronomy and Astronautics in the Bible and Iconography) by Kiril Terziev

This article explores the interpretation of biblical texts and early Christian iconography, particularly scenes of the Ascension of Christ. It suggests that depictions of "Glory" and "heavenly openings" in Byzantine and medieval art may represent UFO-like phenomena or vehicles. The author draws parallels between biblical descriptions and iconography, noting that elements like rainbows and angels holding a "Glory" are not explicitly in the biblical accounts but appear in art. The concept of a "firmament" and multiple heavenly spheres is discussed, linking it to ancient cosmological views. The author proposes that the Bible and iconography may have been influenced by UFO sightings throughout history, with angels and the Holy Spirit potentially depicted as flying vehicles.

Do UFO and Natural Radiations Inspire? by Michael Soper

This piece investigates the potential influence of radioactivity and UFOs on human creativity and inspiration. The author notes the presence of slightly radioactive gemstones and minerals, some of which are intentionally enhanced. He discusses how radioactive materials, like uraninite, are found naturally and pose no threat. The article explores the idea that UFO overflights might affect human minds, potentially inspiring new artistic and literary movements, especially during solar minimums when cosmic ray flux is higher. It also suggests that radioactive traces found at alleged UFO landing sites indicate that craft emit rays. The author conducted a personal experiment, finding that proximity to radioactive material increased his production of original papers, theorems, and poems, suggesting that the brain can utilize these rays for inspiration, explaining why hills and mountains are often considered inspiring.

Military Mind Control and Alien Abduction by Malcolm Robinson (SPI England)

This article reviews the book "MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abduction" by Dr. Helmut Lammer and Marion Lammer. It highlights the theory that many UFO abductions are not extraterrestrial but are orchestrated by military personnel. These "MILABS" may abduct individuals to extract information or technology, or to implant false information to camouflage new stealth or black budget technologies. The article provides examples of abductees who report being interrogated by military personnel in facilities housing UFO-like craft, and who describe being subjected to strange procedures and questioning about "alien" technology. The authors suggest that this scenario is a significant aspect of the UFO puzzle, aiming to shift public focus away from genuine alien contact.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the idea that "alien" influence is not solely extraterrestrial but also deeply intertwined with human military and technological development. There's a strong undercurrent of suspicion towards official explanations from governments and corporations regarding both technological origins and potential health risks associated with modern advancements. The magazine appears to advocate for an open-minded approach, encouraging readers to consider unconventional explanations, such as the influence of UFOs on ancient beliefs and the possibility of military involvement in abduction phenomena. The editorial stance seems to be one of critical inquiry, questioning the status quo and exploring the more speculative aspects of UFOlogy and its potential impact on humanity.

Title: Awareness
Issue: Vol 20 No 2
Date: 2001
Publisher: Contact International UFO Research
Country: UK

This issue of Awareness delves deeply into the complex and often disturbing world of UFO abductions, with a particular focus on the alleged involvement of military and government agencies. The central theme revolves around the book "UFO: A Deadly Concealment" by Derek Sheffield and the broader implications of what is termed the MILAB (Military Abduction) phenomenon. The magazine explores the possibility that human abductees are not only encountering extraterrestrial beings but are also subjected to experiments and manipulation by their own governments.

Controlled Experiments on Humans Without Consent: An Infringement of Human Rights

The articles highlight numerous cases and historical instances of human experimentation, drawing parallels between alleged alien abduction procedures and documented government-backed projects. The Lammers' work is cited extensively, presenting case after case of experimentation by military chiefs and agencies on citizens of the United States, Canada, and other countries. These experiments, often conducted without consent, range from testing the limits of human endurance to mind control, sensory deprivation, and the use of dangerous biochemical agents like nerve gas, LSD, and radiation. The text draws a stark comparison to the atrocities committed during World War II, emphasizing the moral implications of such actions by those in power.

Specific examples include horrific psychological experiments on American soldiers at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, involving former Nazi scientists. Dr. Ewen Cameron's CIA-funded work at McGill University in the 1950s, which involved brainwashing experiments using hallucinogens, electro-convulsive therapy, and sensory deprivation, is also mentioned. A Clinton administration panel in 1994 reportedly found four hundred documented government-backed bio-medical experiments involving humans between 1944 and 1975, raising questions about how much more has occurred undetected.

Mind control victim Claudia Mullen testified about being subjected to chemicals, radiation, drugs, hypnosis, electric shock, sleep deprivation, and sexual abuse over many years. Another witness, Delora, recalled seeing 'aliens' performing experiments on humans inside a military bunker, which also housed chemical and biological weapons. She also reported seeing humans in gas or liquid-filled capsules, suggesting they were clones used for bio-warfare or chemical warfare experiments. UFO researcher Dan Wright of the MUFON Abduction Transcription Project has documented similar cases, including one where a witness, Colin Wright, found himself in a glass or Perspex container, experiencing a vivid and fearful situation.

The Concept of 'Fluid Breathing' and Alien Agendas

The issue explores the concept of 'fluid breathing,' which began with Dr. J. Kylstra's experiments in the mid-1960s using oxygen-saturated salt solutions to keep mice alive. This research later influenced others, leading to experiments with dogs in perfluorocarbon containers in the early 1990s. The articles connect this to UFO abductee accounts of being placed in tubes filled with liquid, such as Betty Andreasson's claim that it was to cushion G-forces during UFO acceleration. The Lammers suggest that these containers might serve a more sinister purpose, possibly related to an alien genetic interbreeding program.

This genetic agenda is presented as a core aspect of the 'aliens' objective, involving the modification of human DNA to create hybrid species adaptable to various environments. The author expresses frustration that despite decades of abductions, the exact purpose remains unclear, questioning why the procedure continues if aliens have sufficient genetic material.

Dark Unmarked Helicopters and Harassment

A growing trend of dark unmarked helicopters buzzing the homes of UFO witnesses and abductees is discussed. These helicopters are described as low-flying, difficult to identify, and often seen in areas associated with cattle mutilations and crop circles. Debbie Jordan, a known UFO abductee, recounts her life being made a misery by these helicopters, which stalk her and her family. The author finds this overt harassment unnecessary and questions the motives behind it, suggesting it draws unwanted attention.

Working in Harmony: Government Agencies and 'Greys'

Perhaps the most significant and disturbing aspect presented is the evidence suggesting that certain American Government agencies have been working alongside 'greys' for years. This collaboration is speculated to be the reason why official statements from the US government are evasive. The implication is that these agencies are part of an orchestrated effort to obtain information from visiting 'intruders' to advance potential warfare capabilities. The MILABS book is credited with changing perceptions of ufology by highlighting these connections.

Terrestrial & Extraterrestrial Implants

The presence of implants in UFO abductees is a well-known factor in ufology. These small metallic devices, found in various body parts, raise questions about why sophisticated beings would need to track individuals. The Lammers' book provides an in-depth look at this phenomenon, suggesting that the military has been implanting electrodes for monitoring purposes for at least 50 years. The stimoceiver, invented by Dr. Jose Delgado, is mentioned as an electrode capable of receiving and transmitting signals via FM radio waves, which could be modified for microwave pulses and used for control.

The articles suggest that this implant technology, developed after World War II, has likely evolved significantly. The Lammers speculate that military intelligence communities are using this technology for secret government projects, possibly masking their own clandestine endeavors under the guise of alien abduction. Photographic plates showing implants on X-ray skulls are mentioned.

The 'Alien' Cover Story and Military Involvement

Another perspective is that military chiefs may be using implant devices to monitor the physiological data of 'real' UFO abductees. The evidence of military personnel on strange craft or in underground facilities, interacting with both humans and non-humans, is presented. The authors of the MILABS book note that abductees often witness both humans and 'non-humans' in underground facilities, along with strange craft and large dark unmarked helicopters. They are often interrogated, sometimes viciously, and subjected to mind-bending drugs.

Two key questions are posed: Are MILAB abductees military-programmed 'Manchurian Candidates' spying for a secret military task force, or is their abduction experience a synthetic screen memory hiding secret spy or military missions? The articles conclude that military people are clearly involved and concerned about alien abduction, despite past denials from agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA. The author expresses deep concern not about the 'non-humans' but about the deceit from elected officials, viewing the situation as a crime against humanity.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are government secrecy, military involvement in UFO phenomena, human experimentation without consent, and the potential for an alien genetic agenda. The editorial stance is one of deep concern and skepticism towards official denials, advocating for greater transparency and action. The author believes that the MILABS book offers a crucial new perspective on the UFO enigma, moving beyond simple sightings of lights in the sky to a more complex and disturbing reality involving human-alien-military interactions. The issue concludes with a hopeful, yet cautious, outlook for the future of ufology and humanity's potential interactions with non-terrestrial beings.

Historical UFOs: Brazil Late 1960s

This section briefly mentions a story from "Ex Saucer News, Vol 17 No 1 Spring 1970" about photos taken by Jose Martinez in Goiania, Brazil, of an unidentified flying object that hovered over an unoccupied house and caused it to collapse. The full story is referenced as being in The National Enquirer, July 27, 1969.

Astronomy Notes 2001

This section provides astronomical information compiled by Data Research, primarily for assessing whether a heavenly object could be a UFO. It details how to distinguish planets like Venus and Mars from stars, the concept of magnitude for measuring brightness, and lists the brightest astronomical objects. It also provides a monthly breakdown of celestial events for 2001, including planetary visibility, moon phases, meteor showers, and eclipses. The note emphasizes that an object seen for more than 5 seconds might be a UFO, distinguishing it from a typical meteor.

Contact International - "A Deadly Concealment"

This is a review by Geoff Ambler of Derek Sheffield's book "UFO: A Deadly Concealment." The review details a conference held by Contact International in Oxford in 1993, where Derek Sheffield presented his investigation into the Belgian Wave black triangle sightings of 1989-90. The review highlights an alleged 'faux pas' by Brian James, an editor at Awareness, in altering Sheffield's lecture notes, which Sheffield later used to imply Contact International was involved in a "deadly concealment" with the Ministry of Defence. Ambler criticizes Sheffield's "conspiracy by correspondence" approach, deeming it counter-productive and based on assumptions of guilt. The review also touches upon Nick Pope's role at the Ministry of Defence's UFO desk and the recommendation of Contact International to Sheffield by the MOD, suggesting it was a way to "pass the buck." Ambler concludes that Sheffield's implications are flattering but likely circumstantial, and that the book's extensive letter exchanges do not yield new information on the Belgian UFO cases, which remain unsolved.
