This issue of UFO Times, a publication of BUFORA, delves into various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, with a strong focus on European encounters and the psychological impact of abductions. The cover highlights 'THE EUROPEAN DIMENSION,' suggesting a geographical focus for some of the featured cases.

Editorial: THE WITNESS SUPPORT GROUP Vs BUFORA: DECREE NISI OR ABSOLUTE?

The editorial, penned by 'Ken,' addresses the controversial topic of witness counselling and BUFORA's potential involvement. The author expresses a partisan stance but feels compelled to reveal incidents that highlight the vulnerability of traumatised witnesses. He describes how groups like the Witness Support Group (WSG) can be targeted by external influences through disinformation, character assassination, and intimidation. The editorial recounts the destabilisation of the old 'Witness Social Network,' initiated by Dr. A. Keul, through anonymous psychic messages and escalating phone abuse, which ultimately led to the group's termination for the welfare of its members. The author warns that similar tactics are currently being used against the WSG, causing members to change numbers and demand the destruction of their case files, threatening the group's dissociation from BUFORA or even self-destruction. The editorial concludes with a grim assessment of the situation as a 'dangerous mind-game' with no apparent protection, suggesting a sense of inevitable defeat against an unseen adversary.

Alien Encounters: THE ABDUCTION EXPERIENCE by Gordon Millington

Gordon Millington explores the nature of UFO abductions, characterising them as unilateral and often humiliating interactions. He suggests that abductors may be android agents of a controlling intelligence, and that victims' reactions must be interpreted in light of their experiences. Millington distinguishes between 'objective' abductions, which occur in physical space and time with UFO observation, and 'subjective' abductions, which take place within the UFO's projected reality dimension, leading to primarily psychological trauma.

The article discusses close encounters of the fourth kind (CE4s) and mentions epidemic UFO events in Colares, Brazil (1977) and Gulf Breeze, Florida (1979). It highlights the case of Ed Walters in Gulf Breeze, whose photographs of UFOs and a 'blue beam' were investigated by MUFON. Walter H. Andrus of MUFON reported that an intelligence implanted a communication device in Ed's head, which was later surgically removed.

Millington also recounts the objective case of Alfred Burtoo, who entered a landed UFO, and the case of Travis Walton, who claimed to have been abducted by bug-eyed ufonauts after being felled by a blue beam. The case of Jan Wolski in Emilcin, Poland, is also mentioned, where he was lifted into a UFO and given a physical examination.

The article then focuses on the Aveley abduction of John and Sue Day in Essex, UK, which occurred on October 27, 1974, but was not investigated until three years later. This case is described as a subjective encounter where the couple's consciousness was separated from their physical bodies. They reported being taught by the ufonauts, who claimed to be 'The Watchers,' ancient astronauts who had planted inhabitants on many planets and controlled their evolution. The Watchers advocated for peace and tolerance but threatened destruction if their message was ignored. They claimed to have influenced major world religions and current 'green' issues. The article notes that the Watchers do not wish to be revealed directly to governments and use disinformation as a primary technique.

The Final Secret of Free Energy – Part II by T.E. Beardon

This article delves into advanced physics concepts related to energy and the vacuum. T.E. Beardon defines the quantum mechanical vacuum as a plenum filled with virtual particles, particularly virtual photons. He argues that energy and potential are identically the same, representing an ordering within the virtual particle flux. The article explains the scalar potential as a static ordering and the vector potential as a dynamic ordering in the vacuum.

Beardon introduces the Whittaker and Ziolkowski (WZ) structure of the scalar potential, which consists of a harmonic series of bidirectional wave pairs, where forward-time waves and their phase-conjugate (time-reversed) replica waves superpose. He posits that this structure creates a 'two-way river of energy' across the universe, containing infinite energy. The article challenges conventional physics definitions of energy and force fields, suggesting that EM waves in vacuum are electrogravitational waves, representing oscillations in the rate of time flow.

The European Dimension

This section features reports on UFO sightings in Europe. One report details an observation by M. Zivic in Weissenstadt, Germany, on February 22, 1982, of an elongated, triangular object with two tubes emitting a brilliant white trail. The object was described as flying slowly and silently at an altitude of about 100 metres. The report notes that on the same day, the witness was present at the landing of a saucer-shaped UFO nearby.

Another report describes a similar object observed on December 4, 1979, near West Wellington, Connecticut, USA. This object was triangular, approximately 50 feet in length, followed by a blue-white trail, and had two cylindrical tubes on its underbelly. Lights were observed at the front and flanks, with a green and red light at the rear.

The article also mentions a sighting by the Dammann couple in Bedburdyck, Germany, on November 19, 1982, of a silent, triangular object measuring 8-10 metres long, hovering and emitting pulsating light. The object rotated and emitted a circular beam of brilliant light towards the witnesses.

Snapshots of Paranormal/UFO Life in Soviet Russia

This section, supplied by a secret agent named Philip Mantle, presents two brief reports from Soviet Russia. Photo 1 shows a 'strange substance' at a UFO landing site in the Ural Mountains in the summer of 1992, with local inhabitants reporting sightings of 'Bigfoot.' Photo 2, from Rostov-on-Don in September 1992, depicts an exorcism being performed on a man believed to be possessed by an 'evil spirit,' with strange lights visible above the woman conducting the session.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the nature and impact of UFO abductions, the potential for manipulation by extraterrestrial intelligences, and the exploration of advanced physics concepts related to energy and the vacuum. The magazine also touches upon paranormal phenomena and the activities of UFO research organizations like BUFORA and MUFON. The editorial stance, particularly in the main editorial, expresses concern over the potential for psychological manipulation of UFO witnesses and the need for careful consideration of the information presented, given the alleged tactics of 'Watchers' and other influencing entities. There is a clear emphasis on scientific investigation while acknowledging the profound and often disturbing nature of witness testimonies.

The Quantock Horror (Part III) - Give Me Hope, Please!

This section details a conversation with witnesses Tony Burford (TB) and SB, discussing premonitions and physical symptoms. SB recounts having premonitions about the ozone layer and a volcano under Tokio Bay, as well as Chernobyl. TB recalls seeing a UFO in the Quantocks in 1988 and experiencing symptoms starting in 1990, describing a feeling of pressure in his head and 'metal sickness'. He mentions a green rock from his fishtank, which he believes came from the sky. The conversation touches upon the impact on family life and the difficulty in explaining these experiences.

Case Report: The Unspeakable

This report details the experience of Ros Reynolds-Parnham, who claims to have been taken into a UFO and subjected to an examination by alien beings. The incident occurred in the late summer of 1983 near Sudbury, Suffolk, when her car became inoperative. She experienced a time loss of three hours. Ros later developed physical symptoms, including the inability to have children. Her husband, Mark Reynolds-Parnham, who claims to be psychic, assisted in investigating the case, with details emerging from hypnosis sessions. The report notes similarities to typical UFO abduction scenarios.

Reviews

Roswell Part II (Video Tape)

This review discusses a video tape produced by the FUND FOR UFO RESEARCH, featuring interviews with witnesses to the Roswell crashed saucer event. The reviewer expresses skepticism, noting that most testimonies are second or third-hand and lack supporting documentation from 1947. The review highlights potential issues of memory contamination, the influence of later UFO literature, and the lack of 'hardware' or bodies. The reviewer is particularly critical of the detailed account by Gerald Anderson, questioning its authenticity.

Visions of CE IV

This is a review of a music cassette by the Scottish rock band CE IV, whose music is based on UFO events and experiences. The reviewer recommends the tape for those who enjoy rock music and UFOs.

Blaise

This review covers a cassette by the band BLAISE, which mixes UFO themes with Arthurian mythology. The reviewer praises the band's unique treatment of the subject matter and Kevin Flannery's illustrations.

Alien Identities (Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena)

This review discusses a book by Richard L. Thompson, which compares ancient Vedic texts about 'Vimanas' (flying machines) with modern UFO reports. The reviewer commends the book for its detailed, readable approach and its exploration of UFOs as potentially extra-terrestrial and interdimensional phenomena, linking it to concepts like the 'Embargo Hypothesis'.

Readers Write

UFO Abductees Go Home! (Roy Sandbach)

Roy Sandbach advises against setting up a counselling service for UFO witnesses, arguing that it is a profound mistake for non-medically qualified individuals to handle such sensitive cases, fearing legal and media repercussions.

Response to Hilary Evans (D. Myers)

D. Myers agrees with Hilary Evans that contactees and cultists have led ufology astray, and that abduction experiences may not be related to 'real' ufology, suggesting it's a field for sociologists rather than ufologists.

Elsie Oakensen Tells Us How It Really Is!

Elsie Oakensen, a close-encounter witness, shares her experience and her involvement with BUFORA's Witness Support Group (WSG). She emphasizes the importance of witness-driven meetings and the need for confidentiality, expressing frustration with the intrusion of reporters and the dilution of the group's original aims.

Margaret Fry Shoots Down the Campbell-Evans Axis!

Margaret Fry argues that the UFO phenomenon is a reality and criticizes those who dismiss it as 'American mass-hysteria'. She believes that UFOs are craft maneuvered by superior intelligence and that BUFORA has progressed in its research over the years.

Philosophical UFOLOGY - The 'Embargo Hypothesis' (Bill Dillon)

Bill Dillon proposes the 'Embargo Hypothesis,' suggesting that UFO stimuli serve as a natural 'EMBARGO' to ensure the universe's ongoing evolution, possibly through a 'Collective Unconscious'. He relates this to ancient Vedic philosophies and the concept of a cosmic 'school'.

Contact Corner

This section features requests from readers seeking to connect with other BUFORA members in their local areas, highlighting the difficulty of discussing the subject with family and friends.

Diary - Forthcoming Lectures

This section lists upcoming BUFORA lectures at Westminster University London, including topics on early UFO trends, American abductions, and the annual general meeting. It also notes a regional meeting in Northampton and mentions the Travel & Earth Mysteries Society (TEMS).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the reality of the UFO phenomenon, with a focus on witness testimony and personal experiences. There is a clear division in perspectives, with some advocating for rigorous scientific investigation and skepticism (as seen in the Roswell review), while others emphasize the spiritual and psychological aspects of encounters. The role and effectiveness of witness support groups like BUFORA are debated, with concerns about confidentiality and professional standards. The magazine appears to lean towards accepting the phenomenon as real, while acknowledging the complexities and differing interpretations within the ufology community. The editorial comments often provide a counterpoint or additional perspective, sometimes with a touch of dry wit.
