Magazine Overview

Title: BÚSQUEDA
Issue: 7
Date: February 1989

This issue of BÚSQUEDA, a bulletin for research and investigation into UFOs, parapsychology, astrology, etc., features a prominent article on the UMMO mystery, alongside investigations into UFO sightings in the US and USSR, the phenomenon of contactees, the esoteric Cabbalistic school of Girona, and reflections on knowledge and self-realization.

The UMMO Mystery

Antonio Ribera details the origins of the UMMO phenomenon, which began in the early 1960s with anonymous phone calls to Spanish professionals. The callers, claiming to be from the planet UMMO, sent detailed, scientifically rigorous reports, often on folio-sized paper marked with the distinctive UMMO symbol. These reports covered topics like biogenetics and interplanetary spacecraft. The UMMO beings identified their star as IUMMA, provisionally linked to WOLF 424, and described themselves as tall, blond humans similar to Nordic types. The article notes that the UMMO language was deemed 'viable' by philologists, and that while reports contained technical details, information on propulsion systems was censored. The author received seven communications, one advising skepticism: 'Don't believe us. Receive these informations with distrust...' This paradoxically encouraged belief. The UMMO beings did not present themselves as messianic figures, nor did they advocate abandoning Earthly values or religions. They mentioned WOA, a creator figure, and his son UMMOWOA, who died on an operating table rather than a cross. A clue to the material author of these documents is hinted at.

Page 2 elaborates on the UMMO case, mentioning a typist in Madrid who received dictation from 'Danish doctors' that revealed they were from UMMO. A demonstration involving a levitating ball and a projected image of the typist and his wife solidified the reality of the situation for him. Similar demonstrations were allegedly performed on a biologist, showing a neuron 'in vivo'. The UMMO reports are described as voluminous, with thousands of pages received over 25 years. Hypotheses for the phenomenon include a NASA sociological experiment, a CIA maneuver to discredit UFOs, or a prank by science students. The article questions whether the UMMO beings are indeed extraterrestrials.

UFOs in the Soviet Union and the United States

The Soviet Union acknowledged concerns about UFOs in 1967, forming an official commission to study reports. A 74-page report analyzed 256 observations. In the United States, scientists, lawyers, and investigators participated in studying UFO cases. Dr. J. Allen Hynek noted that unexplained sightings could become exceptional cases. In March-April 1983, over 3,500 people reportedly witnessed UFOs, according to astronomer Philip Imbrogno, who estimated that only 10% of witnesses report their experiences. Imbrogno solicited Dr. Hynek's assistance for investigating numerous triangular or boomerang-shaped UFO sightings in March and April 1983. Cases investigated include a large boomerang-shaped object with lights observed in Yorktown, NY; a 747-sized object with lights in New Castle, NY; and a boomerang-shaped object seen by Gloria Scalzo in Ossing, NY. Similar sightings were reported in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. In June 1983, Dr. Hynek and meteorologist Bill Hele discussed their findings on 'Good Morning America'. Hele, a credible witness, described a boomerang-shaped craft with multicolored lights moving at high speed, which decreased to a near stop above his car, with lights changing to blue-violet. He estimated its length at 1,000 yards and dismissed it as a conventional aircraft. Dr. Hynek considered Hele the most credible witness. Lawyer Peter Gersten also reported observing a triangular formation of lights. The article notes the increasing number of UFO reports and the potential for extraterrestrial contact, citing the 'ángeles' of yesterday as today's extraterrestrials.

Contactees: The Mysterious World of Hock

Javier Sierra discusses the phenomenon of 'contactees', individuals who claim direct contact with extraterrestrials. He notes the absurdity often associated with these claims, citing examples from the archives of 'Flying Saucer Review'. Despite the perceived absurdity, the sheer number of people reporting similar experiences, including professionals from various fields, suggests a phenomenon worthy of detailed study. The article defines a 'contactee' as someone who has not only seen a UFO but has communicated with its occupants, either mentally or physically. It highlights the ongoing debate about whether these phenomena are distinct or interconnected with parapsychology. The article touches upon theories suggesting historical figures like Socrates and Napoleon had extraterrestrial contact. It also mentions the 'Proyecto CATCE', which documented a tenfold increase in contact cases in Spain since 1987, estimating between 200 and 500 contactees.

Luis Brieva's personal account, 'AL FILO DE LO IMPOSIBLE', describes his experiences with beings from the 'Fourth Dimension' named Ross, Aroy, and Revit, and a being named Luz. He recounts night journeys and a developing romantic relationship with Luz. He questions the objective of these encounters, feeling he was being studied. He describes using a Ouija board for communication and feeling frustrated by vague answers. He notes that while his companions progressed in automatic writing and astral travel, he struggled with concentration. He mentions a tangible proof of his experiences: his digital watch advancing by two hours. He concludes that the beings' mental power over terrestrials is more effective than any weapon.

The Cabbalistic School of Girona

This section explores the historical Cabbalistic school of Girona, which emerged in the 13th century. The Cabbala, meaning 'tradition' or 'received gift', is described as a metaphysical system for understanding the universe and God, accessible through esoteric interpretation of sacred texts. The article notes that the Cabbala was kept secret for centuries, making its origins difficult to pinpoint. The first written works appeared in southern France, and the first group of cabalists in Spain formed in Girona. The city was a significant spiritual center, home to a Jewish community and closely linked to Provençal cabalistic schools. The most flourishing period of the Girona Cabbala was under Rabbi Isaac the Blind, whose house in the old town, above a former synagogue, still stands. A letter from Solomon ben Abraham of Montpellier refers to the Girona cabalists as an 'association of sacred nature'. The article poses the question of what esoteric force, perhaps related to alchemy, emanated from this doctrine.

Other Articles and Themes

'¿QUÉ ES LA CABALA ?' defines Cabbala as a system for understanding the universe and God, stemming from the Hebrew root 'kbl' (to receive). It involves ten emanations called 'sephiroth', with Malkuth being the physical manifestation of the divine. The article describes Cabbala as the esoteric part of scripture, the inner truth.

'YO, JULIO VERNE' by Bruno Cardeñosa reviews J.J. Benítez's biography of Jules Verne, highlighting Verne's literary success contrasted with his personal failures and his extensive travels. The book suggests Verne was an initiate.

'OVNI EN LA UNIÓN SOVIÉTICA' and 'OVNI EN ESTADOS UNIDOS' provide updates on UFO investigations in these regions.

'¿QUÉ SON LOS APÓCRIFOS DEL ANTIGUO TESTAMENTO ?' discusses the fascinating and diverse nature of apocryphal texts, their origins, and their symbolic, prophetic content, often dealing with future events and divine promises.

'CARROS DE YAHVÉ' interprets biblical passages, particularly from 1 Kings, as descriptions of UFO landings, comparing the phenomena to wind, earthquakes, fire, and a 'light and soft whisper' indicating the opening of a hatch.

'LA AUTORREALIZACIÓN COMO ALTERNATIVA AL CADA VEZ MÁS CRECIENTE ZOMBINISMO' by Waiky argues that modern society has turned people into 'zombies' controlled by 'the SYSTEM' or 'the BEAST'. It advocates for 'self-realization' through harmonizing mental, emotional, and physical aspects, and using intelligence to achieve freedom from systemic control.

'VISITAS' briefly mentions visits from members of the AFK group and Portuguese ufologist D. Bernardino Sánchez Bueno.

'PERÚ CUZCO, ESOTÉRICO' announces a tour focused on esoteric sites in Peru, including talks by a contactee and visits to Cuzco, Nazca, and Machu Picchu.
