Issue: 22

This issue of Búsqueda, a bulletin for research and investigation into UFOs and parapsychology, features a diverse range of articles, from detailed accounts of alleged UFO encounters to explorations of ancient mysteries, spiritual concepts, and environmental concerns.

UFO Persigue Avión De La Fuerza Aerea Iraní

This lead article by Ernest Borgensen details a dramatic encounter in September 1987 over Iran. An Iranian Air Force jet pilot reported being pursued by a luminous, rectangular object that split into parts and rejoined. The object emitted a 'heavy wave' that blocked radio communications and desynchronized instruments. Air traffic controllers observed the event, and a second Phantom jet was dispatched, but also lost contact. The object reportedly achieved speeds of 15,000 miles per hour before disappearing. A similar sighting occurred in Lisbon, Portugal, that same night, involving a Boeing 707.

El Desenvolvimiento Espiritual y el Contacto Extraterrestre

Miguel A. Chamorro argues that traditional UFO research, focused on data collection and case studies, is insufficient for achieving genuine extraterrestrial contact. He posits that true contact is contingent upon spiritual development, suggesting that extraterrestrials (ETs) are beings on a similar evolutionary path, seeking to connect with those who have achieved a superior spiritual state. Chamorro distinguishes between ETs and divine beings, emphasizing that ETs are mortal beings from other planets. He criticizes the 'data accumulation' approach of many ufologists and advocates for inner transformation and personal growth as the pathway to meaningful interaction with ETs.

Maledicencias

P. Muñoz discusses the concept of 'maledicencias' or psychic attacks, drawing a parallel to Socrates' response to slander: 'The issue is that I am not offended by them.' Muñoz criticizes individuals who spread rumors and create paranoia, labeling them as mentally ill or irresponsible. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth involves responding to negativity with charity rather than retaliation, and that external attacks are only effective if one allows them to destabilize them.

Apariciones Marianas

Ana Semitiel recounts a personal experience attending a Marian apparition event on Good Friday. She describes the scene, the stigmata of the seer Maria, and the procession of the Via-Crucis. Semitiel notes that since the first photos were taken during a ceremony, the Virgin Mary stopped appearing and miracles ceased, with only the scent of roses remaining as a vestige. A photograph of the chapel allegedly shows a white light with dark traces resembling hands and a face.

Historia Moderna de los Ovnis

This section delves into the history of UFO phenomena. It begins with Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting, which popularized the term 'flying saucer,' noting that the term itself had earlier origins. The article then details the 'Maury Island incident' of June 21, 1947, where a coast guard patrolman reported seeing six donut-shaped objects, one of which dropped a substance and rocks. It also touches upon Ted Bloecher's research into humanoids and UFO waves.

Nazca: Los Misteriosos Diseños de Perú

Manuel Fernández Naverac explores the enigmatic Nazca lines in Peru. He discusses their scale, geometric precision, and the various animal figures depicted. The article reviews theories attributing the lines to ancient astronomical calendars (Paul Kosok, Maria Reiche) or religious rituals. It also considers the possibility of Nazca people having achieved flight, citing ceramic depictions and experimental balloon flights.

El Mundo Subterráneo, Las Sociedades Secretas y Los Ovnis

Juan C. Menéndez examines the concept of subterranean worlds and secret societies, linking them to UFO phenomena. He mentions the 'Order of the Black' and Charles De Gaulle's counter-order, 'The Order of the Secret Companions.' The article also discusses the 'Men In Black' (MIBs) and their alleged connection to disinformation campaigns by the CIA, citing William Moore and Charles Berlitz. The existence of subterranean empires like Agharta is explored, along with prophecies attributed to its 'king of the world' concerning humanity's future.

¿Qué Somos?

This article by Miguel A. Chamorro discusses the human capacity for self-limitation and the power of belief. He argues that fear can unlock hidden potential and that faith in oneself is the key to achieving goals. Chamorro also touches upon the dual nature of humans (body and soul) and the potential of the brain to access 'supernatural' realms. He suggests that human evolution is guided by a universal intelligence.

El Origen de las Especies. Generación Espontánea

Miguel A. Chamorro critically examines the theory of spontaneous generation and Darwinian evolution. He questions the scientific explanations for the origin of life, highlighting the improbability of amino acids forming proteins by chance and the lack of fossil evidence supporting Darwin's theory. Chamorro suggests that life may have originated in space and that a universal intelligence guides evolution.

Mar de Fondo

Carmen Zubizarreta uses imagination to explore the concept of the universe as a single body, with planets as organs. She likens Earth's current state to a cancer, suggesting that extraterrestrials ('brothers of life') are intervening because the planet's illness affects the whole. Zubizarreta advocates for unity and collective action to heal the Earth, warning against the irresponsibility of those who prioritize personal gain.

SOS Planeta Tierra

This section initiates a monthly column on environmental issues. It highlights the progressive deterioration of the natural environment, including air and water pollution, soil erosion, species extinction, and the impact of nuclear waste and pesticides. The article criticizes governments and organizations for failing to adequately inform the public and coordinate efforts to address these critical problems, emphasizing the urgent need for a change in human behavior towards the planet.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, including UFOs, parapsychology, and ancient mysteries. There is a strong undercurrent of spiritual and personal development as a means of understanding these phenomena and improving one's life. The editorial stance appears to be critical of mainstream scientific explanations when they conflict with anecdotal evidence or alternative theories, and it promotes a holistic view of existence that includes spiritual and extraterrestrial dimensions. The magazine also expresses concern for the environment and calls for greater awareness and action.
