This issue of Búsqueda, a bulletin for the investigation of UFOs and parapsychology, features several key articles and discussions on extraterrestrial phenomena, ancient mysteries, and government secrecy.

¿INFORMA UMMO A LA TIERRA?

This lead article by Javier Sierra explores the Ummo phenomenon, a complex case involving alleged communications from extraterrestrials. Sierra questions what more can be said about Ummo after numerous publications since 1978-1979. The article recounts the Ummo narrative: receiving a radio signal from Earth in 1934, sending an expedition that arrived in 1950, and beginning to send letters to Earth in 1966. It highlights the involvement of figures like Fernando Sesma and the mysterious nature of the 'typist' of the letters. The article also touches upon the alleged involvement of a 'marquise' Margarita Ruiz de Lihory and mysterious Danish doctors (implied to be Ummites).

UMMO, TAL VEZ LA REUNIÓN MÁS EXTRAÑA JAMÁS CONVOCADA

This section details a peculiar event on November 20, 1988, in Madrid, where a meeting ostensibly about the 'Shroud of Turin' at the Hotel Sanvy was actually a gathering focused on the Ummo affair. Ummites had sent letters requesting that a specific report be opened in front of an audience. Rafael Farriols opened the envelope containing a nine-page document. The document claimed the 'true' Shroud of Turin was replaced in 1929 with a reproduction made from a 13th-century canvas and a metal mold. It stated the original Shroud remained with the Cardinal of Turin and that Popes Pius X, Benedict XV, Pius XI, John XXIII, and John Paul I were aware of this 'switch'. The article notes that Pope John Paul II learned of this in 1985 and, with cardinals, decided against causing a scandal.

The article also presents counterarguments, citing NASA's 1978 analysis of the Shroud which detected pollen and fossils from Palestine, questioning how a 14th-century canvas could contain them. The Ummo narrative is questioned for its timeline, as they claimed to have witnessed the 'switch' in 1929, yet their arrival on Earth was in 1950 and their awareness of humanity in 1934.

VENUS: EL LUCERO NOS DA UNA SORPRESA

Written by Bruno Cardeñosa Chao, this piece discusses Soviet advancements in space exploration. It mentions Nikolai Levchenko's claim at a scientific assembly in Brussels that a Soviet probe discovered 20,000 ruined cities on Venus, suggesting an ancient civilization existed there when Venus had a different climate. The cities are described as arranged in a radial pattern with a central metropolitan area.

PROYECTO MAJESTIC-12

This article, based on a radio broadcast, discusses the alleged 'Majestic-12' document, a top-secret report from November 18, 1952, concerning UFOs. It claims that Majestic-12 was formed by President Truman in 1947 after two UFO crashes in the US. The group is responsible for investigating UFOs, their occupants, and the relationship between them and humanity, allegedly making pacts with extraterrestrials (ETs) for technology in exchange for allowing a certain number of human abductions. The article recounts an alleged abduction incident in May 1980 in New Mexico where a mother and son were taken, witnessed animal mutilation, and had metallic objects implanted in their bodies. It suggests the ETs betrayed the US government, as abductions exceeded agreed-upon numbers, and that the ETs used biological material for their own survival and to create clones.

EL MISTERIOSO MUNDO DE HOCK. "LA PRIMERA VEZ"

This personal account by an unnamed author describes their experiences with beings from the 'Fourth Dimension,' referred to as 'Hock.' The author recounts a first encounter with a female being named Luz, who invited them into a spacecraft. They describe traveling and seeing images on a 'Space-Time screen.' The author mentions being joined by friends Ross, Devit, and Aroy, who helped them return. The experience is described as transformative, leading to a sense of spiritual freedom and a new perspective on life, love, and human interactions. The author emphasizes that these experiences are not about physical change but spiritual transformation, and that true learning comes from direct experience rather than societal conditioning.

LOS ESTUDIOS CHINOS SOBRE LOS OVNI

This article details the history of UFO research in China, starting with a 1978 article in 'PEOPLE'S DAILY' and a 1979 article in 'GUANG MING DAILY' reporting sightings by scientists and military personnel. It describes the formation of the 'Chinese Association for UFO Studies' and the initial resistance from official astronomical bodies. The article mentions the publication of 'Informe de Avistajes Chinos de OVNI' and the editor's belief that UFO phenomena cannot be easily dismissed. It also notes the involvement of international researchers like J.L. Lorenzen and J. Allen Hynek.

PARA "SABER" NO HAY QUE "APRENDER"

This philosophical piece by an unnamed author contrasts 'learning' (imposed by society) with 'knowing' (direct understanding). It argues that society forces learning as a prerequisite for knowledge, creating a barrier to true understanding. The author suggests that to 'know,' one must reject the societal mandate to 'learn' and seek direct experience and intuition. The piece concludes by stating that the path of the initiated is not to learn but to 'know' and then to 'know to understand.'

LA CORBATA QUE UNE

This short piece discusses the identification of American tourists and speculates on how aliens might blend in with humans. It then shifts to a geopolitical context, mentioning the US violation of the SALT-2 treaty by deploying modified B-52 bombers and the resulting nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union and China. It notes that UFOs have been observed over nuclear test sites, suggesting they may be involved in monitoring or even influencing these activities.

LA GUERRA SECRETA DE LO OCULTO

This article by an unnamed author draws parallels between the development of atomic energy and the potential military applications of parapsychology. It notes the increasing interest of military and police forces in parapsychological phenomena, citing Soviet arrests of parapsychologists for state work and the CIA's search for occult forces. The article highlights that while parapsychology lacks a universally accepted theory, phenomena like clairvoyance are reproducible, and military applications were already seen during the Vietnam War and in espionage.

¿ILUMINADOS O... VIVIDORES?

Written by Montse Vidal, this piece expresses concern about the growing number of individuals claiming to be 'illuminated'—clairvoyants, healers, or contactees. The author suggests that many of these individuals are motivated by financial gain, creating a 'financial setup.' While acknowledging that some may have good intentions, the author believes their 'powers' are based on suggestion rather than genuine paranormal abilities. True enlightened individuals, the author posits, do not boast about their abilities.

VIVIMOS SOLO POR QUE TENEMOS MIEDO A MORIR

Authored by Esther Villafuerte, this piece argues that the fear of death is the primary reason humans live. The author suggests that life on Earth is a rudimentary form of existence and that the 'afterlife' is a state of spiritual liberation. The piece laments humanity's inability to remember its origins and its tendency to become complacent in earthly life. It contrasts the suffering of earthly existence with the potential happiness in the 'afterlife,' suggesting that some individuals have found peace by connecting with a higher spiritual reality.

HISTORIA DE UNA FALSIFICACIÓN GENIAL

This article by J.J. Benitez challenges the carbon-14 dating of the Shroud of Turin, which placed its origin in the Middle Ages. Benitez argues that the scientific rigor of the carbon-14 dating is questionable due to potential contamination and the Shroud's history of fires and restoration. He presents numerous arguments suggesting the Shroud is authentic and ancient, citing pollen analysis, the three-dimensional nature of the image, the depiction of blood flow consistent with gravity, the presence of blood types, the depiction of a coin from Pontius Pilate's era, the accurate depiction of crucifixion wounds (through the wrists, not palms), and the presence of fingerprints. Benitez concludes that the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the Shroud's authenticity, and the probability of it not being Jesus Christ's burial cloth is extremely low.

LA FE Y EL GRANO DE MOSTAZA

Written by Miquel Àngel Chamorro, this piece critically examines the concept of 'faith.' Chamorro argues that many people use faith as a crutch, resorting to it only when their own capabilities fail, and often attributing success to faith while blaming external factors for failures. He defines true faith not as blind belief but as certainty in one's actions, supported by reasoning and action, not just intention or prayer. The author criticizes the use of faith to promote blind submission and criticizes those who preach faith but do not practice it themselves, often camouflaging their own weaknesses and fears with excuses. He emphasizes that true success comes from determination and taking action, not just wishing.

HUMANO, MIEDO, PROBLEMA (cuento)

This allegorical short story by an unnamed author describes a character named 'Humano' who is plagued by 'Problema.' Humano avoids confronting Problema, which feeds on Humano's 'Miedo.' The story illustrates how fear amplifies problems, making them seem insurmountable. Humano eventually realizes that Problema thrives on fear and that by ceasing to generate fear, Problema will cease to exist. The story concludes with Humano learning to face challenges without fear, thus overcoming Problema.

CLARIVIDENCIA

This short piece discusses the current limitations and future potential of clairvoyance. While acknowledging that clairvoyants cannot yet produce photographs, the author suggests that future advancements might allow for thought-to-image recording. The article notes that detailed descriptions provided by clairvoyants can still offer valuable data for identification, even without photographic evidence.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, including UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, parapsychology, and ancient mysteries. There is a strong undercurrent of skepticism towards official explanations and a belief in hidden truths and government cover-ups. The editorial stance appears to favor open investigation and critical analysis of established narratives, encouraging readers to question and seek direct evidence rather than relying on dogma or societal conditioning. The publication seems to champion the idea that 'knowing' is superior to merely 'learning' and that personal experience and intuition are vital for understanding complex phenomena.
