Magazine Overview

Title: UFO NEWSFILE
Issue: 15
Date: August 1993
Publisher: BUFORA PUBLICATION

This issue of UFO NEWSFILE delves into the controversial theory of alien-human breeding experiments, featuring alleged abduction cases of women who claim to have been impregnated by aliens. It also covers various UFO sightings reported across the UK, including a puzzling incident in South Wales that was filmed and a case involving police officers in East Devon. The magazine discusses the decline in crop circle reports and the debunking of some theories, while also highlighting ongoing UFO research efforts.

Cover Story: 'I was snatched by a UFO... then I had an alien's baby'

The cover story by Murray Davies presents a startling theory that aliens are kidnapping women for genetic experiments to create a new race through interbreeding. The article highlights the alleged abduction of hundreds of women over the past 30 years, detailing incredible stories.

One case features Karen, who claims to have been abducted on a summer night, experienced a 30-minute memory gap, and later found she was pregnant, despite it being impossible. She suffered nightmares about having an 'ugly baby' and later experienced another encounter with a tall blond creature with large blue eyes.

UFO experts believe Karen is one of many women abducted by aliens for experiments. The article notes a significant increase in reported cases, from 20 between 1965-1975 to approximately one hundred each year currently. This is seen as part of a long-term programme of genetic engineering using Earth as a laboratory, as aliens reportedly cannot breed among themselves.

Victims often suffer trauma and repressed memories similar to rape victims, with only an estimated one in ten reporting their stories. The article recounts early abduction cases in Brazil (1957) and New Hampshire, USA, which marked the beginning of a surge in reported abductions and medical experiments.

• Specific cases include:
• Maria: Driving in Hungary, she saw a light, woke in a snow-covered field with burn-like wounds, and her car door was welded shut. She became pregnant with an abnormally developed foetus that later disappeared.
• Debbie Tomey: From Indiana, she claims to have met an alien boy at age seven and was later taken aboard a UFO in her teens, experiencing her stomach being squeezed and a suction device at work. She later believed she was shown her alien child.
• Susan: Kidnapped in the North of England, she was examined by creatures with large eyes and blond hair, leading to strange dreams and an unexpected pregnancy that ended prematurely.

Alien Types: Greys and Nordics

• The article distinguishes between two types of aliens reportedly visiting Earth for centuries:
• The GREYS: Described as dwarfs with white or grey skins, high pear-shaped heads, slit mouths, and extremely large, dark eyes. They are associated with "evil gnomes and goblins."
• The NORDICS: Described as friendly, almost human-looking, around six-feet tall, with beautiful cat-like eyes and long, very blond hair. They are considered "kindly observers."

The Greys are said to be concerned only with their own survival.

This section highlights a quirky insurance policy offered by Mike St Lawrence in New York State, targeting 'UFO abduction insurance' against alien abductions. The policy reportedly pays out $60,000 a year, though it's presented as a joke, it has gained traction among those who have seen the funny side.

Page 2: Light in the Sky Sends Family on a UFO Hunt & Expert to Investigate Wave of UFO Sightings

Light in the Sky Sends Family on a UFO Hunt by Andrew Laxton details an incident where Conrad Gomes and his family spotted a bright orange, flying saucer-shaped object over Northolt Road. They followed it, and it made a tremendous booming noise. The mystery was later revealed to be a Coca Cola airship used for a promotional package.

Expert to Investigate Wave of UFO Sightings by Stephen Smith reports on an upcoming meeting in Bonnybridge, Scotland, to investigate numerous UFO sightings in the area. Councillor Billy Buchanan has organised the meeting, and UFO-logist Malcolm Robinson of Strange Phenomena Investigations is involved. Reports of unidentified flying objects have been circulating since November, with over 60 people contacting Mr. Robinson. The article mentions a videotape of the phenomena and the possibility of hypnosis being used to uncover memories of alien encounters. Similar reports in the Denny area in 1982 remain unexplained.

Science notes that astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, have detected 164 potential signals from extraterrestrial civilizations out of trillions recorded, though these anomalies require further investigation.

Shortage of UFO Sightings Lands Spotters with 'Bit of a Bad Time' by Vivek Chaudhary discusses a current lull in UFO sightings, with enthusiasts gathering in Sheffield for a conference titled 'UFOs - Fact, Fraud or Fancy'. Philip Mantle, chairman of the Independent UFO Network, notes that sightings come in cycles and the current year has seen very few. He mentions that 90% of reported sightings have non-UFO explanations, but about 10 cases remain unexplained. Scotland is noted as a popular location for sightings.

Page 3: Billy's Unidentified Flying 'Circus' & Followed by the Light!

Billy's Unidentified Flying 'Circus' by John Smith reports on accusations against Bonnybridge councillor Billy Buchanan for turning the town's UFO sightings into a "circus" and a "publicity stunt." Ufologist Ron Halliday expresses concern, suggesting many sightings could be natural explanations like helicopters. Councillor Buchanan denies using the sightings for publicity, stating he acted as a "buffer zone" for constituents. He notes that a Japanese film crew was convinced something strange was happening in the area.

Followed by the Light! by Linda Jones recounts her experience from 13 years prior, where she and her children saw a massive white light hovering 2ft off the ground. She later underwent hypnosis and described being examined by six tall figures with dark hair and almond-shaped eyes. She experienced physical issues afterward, including her periods stopping and a lump in her neck.

Page 4: UFO-hunter Makes Earthfall in Bonnybridge & Town Baffled by UFO Sightings

UFO-hunter Makes Earthfall in Bonnybridge by John Smith details the visit of Japanese television director Junichi Yaoi and his crew to Bonnybridge, Scotland, to film a documentary on UFOs. Yaoi, who has made 50 UFO documentaries, believes aliens are studying Earth. Councillor Billy Buchanan claims over 200 sightings in the area, and a Japanese film crew was reportedly convinced of unusual activity. Ufologist Ron Halliday remains skeptical, suggesting a Scottish Power helicopter as a possible explanation for many sightings.

Town Baffled by UFO Sightings reports on UFOlogists and psychical investigators attempting to explain numerous sightings in Bonnybridge. Councillor Billy Buchanan has received around 400 calls and contacted the Ministry of Defence without explanation. Malcolm Robinson of Strange Phenomena Unit will present findings. Hypnosis is being considered to uncover memories of alien encounters. The article mentions a farmer who captured a video of the UFOs.

A Third Encounter with a UFO describes a pulsating object sighted in a South Wales cul-de-sac, filmed by retired fitter Lionel Cox and neighbour Gareth Shadbolt. The object was seen on multiple nights and described as a large star when viewed with binoculars, but a spherical, jellyfish-like spectacle with internal rings when magnified. RAF St Athan confirmed a report of an object above Cwmbran in December but had no reports of recent sightings.

Page 5: UFO Class Takes Off at College & College Tune in to Alien Beings

UFO Class Takes Off at College by Margaret Fry announces a six-week course on UFOs at Llandrillo College, Colwyn Bay, led by UFO investigator Margaret Fry. The course will cover sightings, reported crashes, and first-hand accounts. The cost is £35 per person.

College Tune in to Alien Beings by George Rodgers discusses the increasing acceptance of UFOs, with bookmakers William Hill slashing odds on alien life forms being discovered. The article mentions reports of sightings in North Wales, including a blue/grey triangular object seen by two boys near Bodfari and other sightings near Denbigh. It also references a potential first recorded sighting from an Egyptian Pharaoh in 1504 BC.

Barley Circles Weren't My Doing, Says Farmer by Oliver McGuckin features Alex Patterson, a Co. Antrim farmer, denying responsibility for barley circles found on his farm. He believes they are the work of a prankster and appeals to visitors not to trample his crops. The article notes that similar circles have appeared in England and speculates about supernatural forces or extraterrestrial activity.

Spy in the Sky Snaps Crop Circle Spectacular by John Haughey and Ruth O'Reilly describes how two Belfast students used a kite with a camera to capture aerial images of crop circles in Broughshane, Northern Ireland. Farmer Alex Patterson found himself inundated with journalists and curious onlookers following the discovery of two perfect circles in his barley field.

Page 6: UFO Detectives Seek Challenges New & Shedding Light on UFO Reports

UFO Detectives Seek Challenges New introduces the Hereford UFO Research Group (HURG), a non-profit organization investigating unexplained phenomena like UFOs, ghosts, and poltergeists. They are seeking more cases to investigate and aim to promote serious research into UFOlogy.

Shedding Light on UFO Reports discusses the ongoing investigation into numerous UFO sightings in the Falkirk District, Scotland. Experts are sifting through reports, including recent sightings by football fans and nurses. Malcolm Robinson of Strange Phenomena Investigations hopes to shed light on these sightings at a January meeting, suggesting unusual activity in the skies above Bonnybridge.

Lionel's Night Sky Visitor Zapped by Boffins reports that experts believe close encounters of the UFO kind in South Wales were likely sightings of the Russian space station Mir or the planet Venus. Retired fitter Lionel Cox remains unconvinced, stating he is "keeping an open mind."

Page 7: Alert After 19 Police Spot UFO & Corn Circles Come a Cropper

Alert After 19 Police Spot UFO details a report from East Devon where 19 police officers allegedly witnessed two objects travelling at high altitude from Wales to Torpoint. Doug Cooper of the Devon UFO Research Group is seeking further information. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the objects were not aircraft and were not on radar.

Corn Circles Come a Cropper by John Vidal discusses the significant decline in crop circle formations found in Britain, with only 45 reported this year compared to over 400 in previous years. The article suggests this is a blow to the "cereology industry" and mentions that experiments have shown complex shapes can be reproduced by beginners, casting doubt on extraterrestrial origins. Some researchers still believe in a "fundamental mystery."

Page 9: The Night a Flying Saucer Landed on My Scanner!

The Night a Flying Saucer Landed on My Scanner! Law Officers Confronted by a UFO by Chuck Robertson recounts an incident in Crenshaw Crossing, Illinois, where police officers reported chasing a large, multi-colored UFO. The chase involved multiple law enforcement agencies. However, the Williamson County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) announced that the object was a Russian booster rocket reentering the atmosphere, its ionized fuel creating a spectacular light show.

Page 10: Do My Eyes Deceive Me? & Out of This World Scanning

Do My Eyes Deceive Me? discusses the psychological factors that might lead trained police officers to mistake phenomena like ionized gas for a solid UFO. It attributes this to "group psychology" and the "Chicken Little Effect," suggesting that many such sightings can be explained by mundane phenomena like space junk, meteors, or atmospheric effects.

Out of This World Scanning mentions NASA's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program, which began scanning the skies for sentient life on October 12, 1992. It details the sophisticated equipment being used at the Goldstone Deep Space Network in California.
