Key Articles and Topics

UFOs and Nuclear Bases

An article titled "UFOS TARGET NUCLEAR WEAPON SITES" claims that alien spacecraft have interfered with nuclear weapons installations in Britain and America over a 60-year period. It cites testimony from former USAF officers, including Colonel Charles Halt, who presented secret documents suggesting that bases with primed nuclear warheads have been under observation or interference. Robert Salas, a former US Air Force Captain, described a UFO hovering over a nuclear weapons store in Montana in 1967, which temporarily shut down 10 Minuteman missiles. Robert Hastings' lecture in Oxford is also mentioned, where he presented evidence of UFOs at nuclear bases, including Aldermarston and Faslane.

Animal Mutilations and Other Phenomena

The magazine explores the enduring mystery of animal mutilations, particularly concerning cattle and sheep, questioning whether these are ritualistic or surgical examinations by aliens. A recent case of mutilated seals on the north Norfolk coast and in Scotland is detailed, with the injuries described as inconsistent with known phenomena. The article "ANIMAL MUTILATIONS OR RUSTLERS?" discusses a case of mutilated sheep in West Oxfordshire, concluding it was likely due to rustling rather than the typical 'phantom surgical organ removers'.

Crop Circles

The crop circle phenomenon is presented as enduring evidence for alien activity, now in its 31st year. The article notes that crop circles remain in position for extended periods, allowing for information gathering and leaving behind an 'energy signature'. The geometrical perfection of these creations is seen as indicative of high intelligence.

Abduction Phenomenon

The issue addresses the phenomenon of alien abduction, questioning whether these experiences are genuine encounters or religious manifestations. It notes the common descriptions of alien abductors and the classic bug-eyed entity, suggesting that these beings might be projections of the collective consciousness.

Brazilian Military Acknowledges UFO Research

An article by Frances A. Copeland details a historic day on May 20, 2010, when the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) officially received a committee of UFO researchers. The FAB examined classified documents and discussed UFO sightings in Brazil, acknowledging Ufology as a serious activity. Brigadier Telles Riberio stated the intention to release withheld information to the public. The campaign "UFOs: Freedom of Information Now" is credited with pressuring the government. The article also mentions the "Operation Saucer" investigation in 1977 and the "Official Night of UFOs in Brazil" in 1986.

The Day After Roswell

Brian Burden's article discusses the Roswell crash of 1947, suggesting it was an alien flying machine that was hastily covered up. It posits that the subsequent story about a weather balloon and the focus on Kenneth Arnold's 'flying saucer' sighting were part of a deliberate effort to discredit the event. The article also references Colonel Philip Corso's book, which claims that technology from the Roswell spacecraft was 'seeded' into American companies, leading to advancements like transistors and lasers. The possibility of alien bodies, including a potential semi-human hybrid, is also explored.

Aliens: Their Hidden Agenda

Margaret R. Buckingham shares her long-held beliefs about the origins and intentions of alien visitors. She recounts her early interest in extraterrestrial life, influenced by 'Flash Gordon' serials and books like "Flying Saucers Have Landed." Buckingham discusses the shift in perception from 'Space Brothers' to the realization that aliens might not have humanity's best interests at heart, based on cases like Betty and Barney Hill and Antonio Villas-Boas.

Other Topics

• The magazine also touches upon other contemporary issues:
• Wi-Fi Dangers: A study in Holland suggests trees near Wi-Fi routers exhibit symptoms of dying leaves, raising concerns about the impact of electronic 'smog'.
• Sperm Count Drop: An alarming drop in sperm count among men in Western countries is discussed, with potential factors including obesity and Wi-Fi signals from laptops and mobile phones.
• Cyber Attacks: The increasing threat of cyber attacks on major companies like Google and government defense systems is highlighted, with a significant percentage originating from the USA and China.
• Child Vaccine Dangers: The article discusses concerns about child vaccines, referencing Dr. Andrew Wakefield's research on MMR and autism, and citing data on deaths and serious adverse reactions related to vaccines.
• WikiLeaks: The impact of WikiLeaks releasing confidential US diplomatic e-mails is mentioned, noting its potential embarrassment to world leaders.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence, the role of government secrecy in concealing information, and the potential implications for humanity. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of open inquiry, presenting various perspectives and evidence while acknowledging the complexities and uncertainties surrounding these topics. There is a consistent emphasis on the need for transparency and the release of classified information regarding UFO phenomena. The editorial stance encourages critical thinking and the investigation of unexplained events, even when faced with skepticism or potential cover-ups.

Title: SPACELINK BOOKS
Issue: Winter 2010
Date: 2010
Publisher: Spacelink Books
Country: UK
Description: This issue delves into various aspects of UFOlogy, extraterrestrial theories, crop circles, and paranormal phenomena, presenting a collection of articles and book listings.

The Alien Agenda: Creation, Religion, and Sustenance

The lead article posits that aliens created humanity by genetically modifying bonobo chimpanzees, with the primary purpose of providing sustenance for these extraterrestrial beings. This theory is supported by references to Sumerian clay tablets and the Mayan sacred book, the Popul Vuh. The aliens are also accused of instigating human religions, creating successive faiths that contradict each other to foster perpetual warfare and generate negative energy, while positive energy is derived from prayers and chants dedicated to these alien-controlled deities. The Virgin Mary is cited as an example of an alien appearing in religious guise, offering rewards like healings and visions.

The article draws parallels between religious apparitions and UFO sightings, citing the Fatima incident in Portugal (1917) where three shepherd children saw the Virgin Mary, and a large crowd witnessed the sun dance, which is interpreted as a flying saucer maneuver. The experiences of Uri Geller and Andrija Puharich are also mentioned, highlighting a plea from 'nine entities' for peace between Egypt and Israel, which Puharich endured for over 40 hours.

The Aetherius Society, founded by George King on the instructions of Master Aetherius, is presented as an organization that charges mountains and boxes with human spiritual energy to avert wars, which the author sarcastically notes as 'convenient - for the aliens!'

Chanting in religions like Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity is discussed, with a specific mention of Nichirin Daishonin's Buddhist sect, which exhorted devotees to chant for specific benefits. The article recounts a story from Nichirin Daishonin's writings about a brilliant orb appearing during an execution, illuminating the scene and terrifying the soldiers.

The author argues that aliens have not openly landed on the White House lawn because humanity is already 'taken over' and being 'farmed' like livestock, kept in ignorance to hide their agenda. Historical religious texts are reinterpreted through a UFO lens: the Hindu 'Mahabarata' describes 'vimanas' (flying machines) and 'Indra's Dart' (nuclear power), the Old Testament describes Jehovah traveling in a pillar of cloud and fire, and manna from heaven is equated with 'Angel Hair' found near UFO activity. The Star of Bethlehem is also suggested to be a modern UFO sighting.

Angels are presented as crucial figures in religions, often delivering vital news. Adamski's 'Space Brothers' and Joseph Smith's angelic visitor are cited as examples. The concept of 'changeling' in folklore, where fairies abduct children and leave offspring, is linked to alien abduction and interbreeding programs, possibly to save their race or for a final takeover.

The article criticizes the government's role in a 'vast cover-up programme' involving media censorship and professional skeptics who debunk UFO information. It suggests that governments have been rewarded with limited alien technology for their cooperation.

Where They Come From and Their Methods

The question of who created the aliens is posed but left unanswered. Possible origins include the original Martians or a separate race like the Jinn, living on or around Earth. The author stresses the need to abandon normal human rules to understand alien behavior and their world, referring to concepts like 'Alienland,' 'Magonia,' 'Fairyland,' and 'Jinn Land,' as described by John Keel. The 'Men in Black' are also mentioned as part of this phenomenon.

The article warns against messages received through channeling, believing they originate from 'Alienland' and contain propaganda. It recounts the story of George Adamski, who was later discredited as a hoaxer, suggesting this is a tactic to direct attention away from the aliens' hidden agenda by ridiculing the subject.

It is argued that Homo Sapiens appeared suddenly and that without alien genetic modification, humans would have remained apes. The author blames aliens for humanity's violent history and warlike propensity, stating that aliens programmed humans for their own survival needs.

Earth Orbit / Extraterrestrial Science Project Link

This section, by Michael Soper, discusses unexplained explosions occurring at specific locations on Earth, often clustered around three time groupings related to Earth's orbit. These events are linked to the Earth's 'precession' and potential intersections with 'singularities' or 'vortices' in space. Experiments on the Moon are suggested as a possible cause, or the Earth flying through these phenomena.

The article notes a connection made by some to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments, but also suggests that ten hidden international research projects may be responsible. It speculates that these could emanate from 'Scientific Space Brothers' who are careful not to disrupt spacetime too often.

A chronology of UFO-related events and phenomena is provided, starting from the late 19th century with 'huge airships' and progressing through mysterious Nordic rockets, claimed messages from Mars, strange radio signals, encounters with 'Scientific Space Brothers,' anomalies in space flights, missing time on aircraft, atomic clock glitches, sub-microscopic implants, 'scientist' style CE4s, SOHO satellite observations, and finally, the explosions linked to Earth's orbital path.

Crop Circle Report 2010

Geoff Ambler reports on the 31st year of crop circles, noting a surge in activity in Avebury, Wilts, and a total of 56 formations in the UK in 2010, a decrease from previous years. He mentions that while some formations are clearly hoaxes, others are complex and cannot be attributed to wind or animal activity. The report highlights the geographical distribution of circles, with Wiltshire showing a lower percentage than in previous years. A disappointment was the lack of formations in Oxfordshire.

Overseas, Italy reported 22 formations, and Germany 13. The author cautions that some of these might be hoaxed or misidentified due to local inexperience. Notable formations are described, including a large glyph in Yorkshire, a multiringed formation in Gloucestershire, and a hexagon design in Wiltshire. The report also details a 'contentious arrival' at East Field, which was declared a hoax by some who claimed to see makers leaving, despite its complexity.

Two formations alongside the M4 near Hungerford are described as identical wide rings with coded circles, which some interpret as the face of Jesus on the Turin Shroud or the Mona Lisa. The article emphasizes the mystery and profound knowledge potentially being imparted by these formations.

Other formations mentioned include an 'egg slicer' design, a 'huge, almost perfectly created formation' at Pewsey Down that was destroyed by a farmer, and formations at North Down representing religious symbolism. Activity in maize crops and a thin strip of wheat with a pictogram are also noted.

A section on 'Honesty Box Scam' highlights a problem where fake honesty boxes are substituted in crop circle sites, with visitors' money being stolen. A heavy-duty honesty box is described as a deterrent.

The Barge Inn is identified as a long-standing meeting point for 'croppies' and ufologists, featuring a snooker room dedicated to crop circle information and maps.

The end-of-season report notes that while the number and dimensions of circles were not record-breaking, the designs remained brilliant. The interpretation of their meaning remains enigmatic, and the relationship between the 'force, intelligence' and humanity is expected to continue at this level for many more years.

Advertisements and Book Listings

The magazine includes advertisements for penfriends, UFO and space age publications, and back issues of 'Awareness' magazine. A new British UFO book, "Link to the Stars" by Margaret-Ellen Fry, is promoted, detailing her research into UFO sightings, including the Berwyn Incident.

A 'Members Request' section seeks UFO sightings around Shipston-on-Stour. The back pages feature extensive listings of 'Stock Additions: Winter 2010' from Spacelink Books, offering a wide range of books and magazines on UFOs, paranormal subjects, ancient mysteries, and alternative technology, with prices and ordering information.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the pervasive influence of aliens on human history, religion, and development, the mystery and significance of crop circles, and the ongoing investigation into unexplained aerial phenomena and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, reinterpreting religious and historical events through a UFO lens, and highlighting alleged government cover-ups and alien manipulation. There is a strong emphasis on the idea that humanity is being controlled or 'farmed' by extraterrestrial intelligence.
