Articles

Balls of Light: The Boundary Of The Impossible

By Robert Moore, this article examines "Balls of Light" (B.O.L.) phenomena, which are considered the most mundane aspect of UFO reports. While many B.O.L. events can be explained by conventional scientific principles, some exhibit seemingly "intelligent" behavior, such as purposeful trajectories and "witness aware" actions. The article discusses Project Identification by Harley Rutledge and the Hessdalen valley reports, where lights appeared to interact and avoid observation. It also touches upon the potential link between B.O.L. events and psychic experiences, citing Hilary Evans' work and the phenomenon of Psi-Mediated Instrumental Response (PMIR). The author suggests that while some B.O.L. actions might be induced by environmental factors, the psychical witness aspect warrants further research. The article also briefly discusses the "Holy Fire" phenomenon associated with Mary Jones in Wales, exploring Paul Devereux's geophysical explanation involving earth-faulting.

Alien Encounters: UFO Realities – Part 2

By Gordon Millington, this article explores Jacques Vallée's hypothesis that UFO occupants might be "denizens of another reality," such as fairies or elemental entities, rather than extraterrestrials. The author draws parallels between folklore about fairies and reported UFO occupant behaviors, including time distortion and the ability to appear and disappear at will. The article recounts the Joe Simonton case, where Vallée suggested the occupants could be shape-shifted fairies based on their actions and the offering of pancakes. It also mentions a Brazilian case involving "gnomes" or earth elementals. Millington discusses how UFOs, like machines, can malfunction, citing instances of overheating and explosions. He also touches upon the concept of temporal equivalence and the possibility of a "multiverse," where UFOs might switch between different planes of reality. The "Oz effect," described by Jenny Randles, is also explained as a phenomenon where a UFO creates a cone of silence and an altered reality.

The European Dimension: BELGIUM - HAS THERE BEEN A LANDING AT HANNUT?

By Patrick Vidal, this article details an event in Hannut, Belgium, where a young farmer, Vincent Mazy, and his wife observed a luminous round ball in the sky. The phenomenon descended, turned into a luminous red source at ground level, and then repeatedly disappeared and reappeared. The following day, traces in the form of rings were discovered in the pasture near the witness's house. The article notes the geometrical perfection of the circles, the unbroken corn stalks, the absence of footprints, and the higher-than-normal background radiation within the circles. The cause remains unknown, but unidentified luminous phenomena were seen prior to the circles' creation.

HUNGARY - UNUSUAL INJURIES CAUSED BY STRANGERS

By Laszlo Kiss of HUFON, this report details a series of encounters experienced by a 50-year-old woman in Mezobereny, Hungary. The witness reported seeing a strange, egg-shaped "something" and later discovered an egg-shaped object in her garden. She entered the object and found herself in a grey room with many people. Following these events, she experienced pain in her elbow and abdomen, and developed large, red marks on her body. She also suffered from noisy breathing. A doctor found no explanation for the wounds, which eventually healed, and her general health improved significantly. The report also mentions a similar event experienced by a girl who recognized a fellow schoolgirl among abducted children, both having a wound in the same place.

THE MYSTERIOUS CROP-CIRCLES APPEARED IN HUNGARY TOO

By Gabor Tarcali, this article documents the appearance of crop circles in Hungary since the 1960s. It details specific instances, including a 36-meter diameter circle found near Szekesfehervar, characterized by spiral formations of wheat stalks. Other circles of varying sizes, including one with a triangle, were also reported. The article notes that in many cases, unidentified luminous phenomena were observed before the circles were created. The facts presented include the geometrical perfection of the circles, unbroken stalks, lack of footprints, the large area affected by some circles, and elevated background radioactivity. The author concludes that these circles could not have been made by conventional means.

Title: UFO Times
Issue: 11 (Volume 24)
Date: May/June 1993
Publisher: BUFORA (British UFO Research Association)
Country: United Kingdom
Language: English

This issue of UFO Times delves into several complex and often controversial topics within the UFO and paranormal research community. It features a multi-part article by T.E. Beardon on the "Final Secret of Free Energy," a critique of established physics, and explores the potential of orgone energy and unidentified atmospheric phenomena (UEAP).

The Final Secret of Free Energy by T.E. Beardon

The issue begins with the first part of a serialized paper by T.E. Beardon, submitted by Mary Seal. Beardon fundamentally challenges classical electromagnetics (CEM), arguing that it is based on an outdated model of a material ether, lacks fundamental definitions for charge and potential, and misidentifies force fields as causes rather than effects. He asserts that potentials and potential gradients, not force fields, exist in the vacuum and that EM waves are oscillations of these potentials. Beardon claims that the CEM model, with its flaws, actively blocks advancements in free energy, antigravity, and unified field theories. He also briefly mentions a forthcoming paper detailing a mechanism for cancer and AIDS cure based on the Priore team's work in the 1960s and 70s.

Beardon's preamble highlights the dire state of the world, particularly in impoverished nations, and posits that abundant, free electrical energy is the key to alleviating suffering. He states that his paper reveals the "final secret" to accessing this energy, a discovery that took him 30 years to make. He emphasizes that the paper is written informally to convey the necessary points and includes simple pseudo-equations.

The Shadow of Man by Robert France

Robert France's article questions the validity of the Extraterrestrial (ET) hypothesis for UFO phenomena. He argues that the inconsistencies in alien origins and the nature of encounters make the ET hypothesis increasingly untenable. France explores the 'Man created by aliens' hypothesis and the concept of collective consciousness as potential explanations. He notes that many abductees develop psychic abilities post-encounter and that predictions made by alleged aliens often fail, contrasting with human predictive capabilities. France also touches upon the idea of 'dark forces' and their potential origin from constellations like Orion, drawing parallels with shamanistic practices and suggesting a potential resurgence of ancient shamanism in the modern era.

UEAP...Unidentified Earth and Atmospheric Phenomena by Kenneth Parsons

Kenneth Parsons discusses Unidentified Earth and Atmospheric Phenomena (UEAP), suggesting they account for many UFO sightings. He notes that these phenomena often display a high degree of rationality, reacting to observers, changing shape, and exhibiting controlled movement. Parsons questions whether these are natural phenomena, driven/controlled devices, or a form of non-technical, living intelligence. He mentions the theory that many UFOs are balls of incandescent plasma, or 'plasmoids,' held together by magnetic fields and appearing along geomagnetic force bands. Parsons also critiques the 'plasma vortex' theory for crop circles, noting its lack of laboratory reproduction and questioning its historical prevalence.

ORGONE93: Major Project To Test The Orgone Solution To Earth Energy, Crop Circles & Ufo's by Andrew Collins

Andrew Collins introduces the ORGONE93 project, which aims to test the theory that orgone energy, first isolated by Wilhelm Reich, could be the solution to crop circles, UFOs, and earth energies. The project will investigate the relationship between orgone, lightforms (bioforms), and paranormal phenomena. Collins details several experimental tests, including monitoring orgone discharge, testing the relationship between orgone and lightforms through visualization, testing non-locality by attempting to influence lightforms mentally, testing photographic anomalies, and employing a cloudbuster to study its relationship with orgone and weather.

The project's epicenter is chosen in Wiltshire, an area rich in ancient sites, crop circles, and reported lightforms. Collins emphasizes that while the project may not be strictly scientific, it aims for objectivity with adequate controls. The project seeks support and subscribers.

Reviews

'The Second Coming' by Andrew Collins

Ken reviews Andrew Collins' book 'The Second Coming,' which explores a malevolent, occult group allegedly burying artefacts at prehistoric sites to gain politico-economic control. Collins and his associates, using psychic abilities, aim to detect and remove these artefacts to restore a natural balance. Ken finds the book a good read, though he expresses a desire for more evidence to be convinced of the modus operandi described.

Readers Write

This section contains letters from readers:

• Kathleen Smith points out an error in a sky map in a previous issue, noting it was upside down and the planetary positions were not given far enough in advance.
• Maria Nienaber-Nieuwenhuysen from Rotterdam responds to articles on 'Unending Frightfulness' and 'Pelleted in Boston,' suggesting that the events are not alien invasions but 'possession' by beings from astral planes who seek to inhabit human bodies. She draws parallels to Jesus's exorcisms and notes that such phenomena are understood in some Dutch clairvoyant circles.
• Joyce Harrison comments on case 024 and Mary Seal's article, finding them insightful and refreshing. She expresses a belief in God and the need for understanding and humanity.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around challenging established scientific paradigms, particularly in electromagnetics and physics, to explain phenomena like free energy and UFOs. There's a strong undercurrent of alternative theories, including orgone energy, psychic phenomena, and the possibility of non-ET origins for UFOs. The editorial stance, as indicated by the editor's comments in 'Readers Write,' is open to exploring sensitive and unusual cases, encouraging reader participation, and maintaining a critical yet open-minded approach to the subject matter. The magazine actively promotes BUFORA and its activities, including the ORGONE93 project and the 'UFO Review' video.
