Editorial

The editorial section welcomes the launch of a new UFO and parapsychology bulletin called KARISMA, directed by Luis Brieva. The editor praises KARISMA's commitment to uncensored reporting and wishes it success, noting that BÚSQUEDA itself has had to censor some writings.

"ALGO SE ESTÁ COCIENDO" (POR PUIG I CABALLERO)

This main article connects seemingly disparate topics: the Ica stones, extraterrestrials with large heads, contactism, apparitions, the third message of Fátima, and prophecies of the end of the world. The author suggests that by reflecting on these themes, one can gain insight into humanity's origins and future.

The Ica Stones

The article details the work of Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea, who collected 11,000 Ica stones. These stones depict beings called "gliptolíticos" with long arms, short legs, large craniums, and an average height of about one meter. They are described as having a hive-like mentality, working towards a common goal without individual personality or a sense of ownership. The article posits that these beings lived on Earth millions of years ago and, after abusing their technology and causing the fall of satellites, emigrated to the Pleiades, with only the elite escaping.

Extraterrestrials with Large Heads

The text draws parallels between the "gliptolíticos" and modern descriptions of extraterrestrials with large heads, long arms, and short legs. It questions whether today's visitors are descendants of the gliptolíticos and if they are returning to Earth.

Contactism

The article explores the concept of contactism, suggesting that the gliptolíticos might have engaged in similar practices. It raises questions about how they might have communicated with beings from other parts of the cosmos, possibly through psychography or vasography. The author speculates that gliptolíticos might have received "messianic messages" and warnings of natural catastrophes, similar to messages received by modern contactees.

The Role of Extraterrestrials in Religion

The text posits that extraterrestrials may have played a role in the origin of religious traditions, potentially creating or manipulating them. It suggests that modern apparitions could be similar phenomena to those experienced in the past, but now interpreted through the lens of ufology.

The Third Message of Fátima

The article discusses the third message of Fátima, which was reportedly not to be published until 1960. It mentions Pope John XXIII's alleged reaction of distress, stating that the secret could not be revealed as it would cause panic. The author, along with E. Von Däniken, suggests that the message likely warned about extraterrestrial visitations and their connection to primitive Christianity.

Prophecies of the End of the World

It is suggested that extraterrestrials might have sought collaboration with the Vatican, and upon failing to secure it, began promoting contactism individually. The article speculates that ETs may be monitoring humanity's technological progress and, if religions fail to control it, they might orchestrate catastrophic events or destroy the planet, saving a select elite.

Un Ovni Llamado Naja (By Josep Guijarro Triadó)

This section discusses a UFO sighting in Catalonia, Spain, on March 21, 1989. The author criticizes the lack of official information and the tendency to dismiss UFO reports. He presents evidence suggesting the phenomenon was a ballistic missile test by the French Ministry of Defense, codenamed NAJA, designed to observe public reaction to a luminous event. The author expresses indignation at the use of the public as unwitting subjects in such experiments.

Apariciones Marianas y Fenómeno OVNI (Book Review)

A review of a book by Carlos Simo Blasco, which explores the connection between Marian apparitions and UFO phenomena. The reviewer praises the book for its objective analysis and its clarity in addressing the issue of contactism.

Espíritus, Extraterrestres y Astralismos (By Miguel A. Chamorro)

This article categorizes beliefs about extraterrestrials, dividing them into groups: those who identify ETs with religious figures (Christ, Virgin Mary), those who believe they come from other dimensions, and those who see them as mental constructs. The author argues that the idea of ETs as divine beings is a manifestation of a need for divinity. He also discusses the psychological aspects of believing in ETs, including the desire for notoriety, the need for something good to believe in, and the exploitation of faith by some individuals.

The Esoteric Perspective

This section discusses the astral world and entities created by human desires and passions, which can manifest in dreams and meditations. It suggests that many "contacts" are with astral entities rather than extraterrestrials. The author notes that in the past, such phenomena were attributed to spirits or demons, and now, with the popularity of UFOs, they are often linked to ETs.

Ufologists' Views

The article criticizes some ufologists for their lack of agreement and for creating confusion. It suggests that many are more interested in gaining attention than in serious research. The author proposes that extraterrestrials are beings like ourselves, inhabiting other planets, and that humans themselves could be considered extraterrestrials if they colonize other worlds.

Testigos Bajo Alta Vigilancia (By Jean Sider)

This section details the alleged harassment and surveillance of a couple, Betty and Bob Lucas, by unmarked helicopters. The couple experienced implantations, psychological manipulation, and constant monitoring. The article suggests that the helicopters are mobile laboratories collecting data from implants, possibly related to genetic evolution or scientific experiments.

Souvenir Terrícola (By Ana Semitiel)

A humorous anecdote where a representative of the "Galactic Watchers Organization" returns from Earth with a videotape of the TV series "Falcon Crest" as a souvenir.

Visitas Históricas

This section explores historical accounts of encounters with advanced beings and phenomena that resemble UFOs. It mentions findings in Tanzania suggesting human construction from two million years ago, the mysterious origins of the Sumerians and their contact with an amphibious being named Oannes, and similar figures in various ancient civilizations (Christ, Buddha, Quetzalcoatl). It also discusses cave paintings depicting figures in modern attire and unusual aerial phenomena, questioning their origin and the technology used to create them.

Vinieron del Pasado (Fictional Story)

A fictional story about two individuals, Hans Rudel and Katherina, who claim to be time travelers from the year 25,651. They explain their arrival through a machine called Karedon, which can disintegrate and reintegrate matter.

It highlights the emergence of new generations creating their own societies and perspectives. The author also reflects on the teachings of Christ and the concept of unity, emphasizing the importance of inner change over changing others.

Atracción y Repulsión (I) (By Mario J. Cortés)

This article explores the concept of attraction and repulsion as a fundamental law governing the universe, linking it to concepts of love, wisdom, cause-and-effect, and karma. It suggests that nothing is random and that opportunities must be seized. The author redefines terms like "good," "duty," and "interest" in light of this law. He then discusses the changes in the Earth's temperature and the proliferation of life forms, as well as the disappearance of others, attributing these changes partly to human activity and possibly to nuclear tests. The article also touches upon the concept of the "fire element" and its role in the evolution of life.

El Ovni-Mandala: Arquetipo Universal

This section interprets UFOs from a Jungian perspective, viewing them as projections of humanity's collective unconscious. The circular shape of UFOs is linked to the symbol of totality and divinity in various traditions. The author suggests that UFOs, as mandalas, symbolize the presence of the transcendent in a chaotic world and represent a call back to origins.

El Cuerpo Incorpóreo

This article discusses out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and astral projection. It describes OBEs as experiences where a person's consciousness leaves their physical body and seems to observe the world from a separate perspective. The article mentions that stress, surgery, accidents, or illness can trigger OBEs, and that the "astral body" is believed to be connected to the physical body by a cord. It also references biblical accounts and historical figures like Saint Anthony of Padua who reportedly experienced astral projection.

Falsos Esoteristas, Falsos Profetas, Falsos Maestros (By P. Muñoz)

This piece criticizes individuals who claim to be spiritual teachers or contactees but exploit these claims for financial gain.
