Articles and Features

Los Continentes Perdidos (The Lost Continents)

This section, authored by Juan Carlos Laguardia and Luis Brieva, serves as a supplement to previous studies on the subject. It explores the geographical predispositions of our planet before geological transformations and discusses the inhabitants of lost continents like Mu and Atlantis. The article references recent investigations and the testimony of a contactee, Santiago L.P., who revealed information under hypnosis. It posits that three ancient peoples—red/copper-skinned, yellow/pale-skinned, and black/dark-skinned—represented the origins of current human races, with similar divisions existing in Mu and Atlantis. The article highlights Atlantis as a global center of science, technology, and spirituality, with its capital equivalent to five times the size of New York. It also touches upon the 'Children of the Stars,' a different race with blue pigmentation, possibly descendants of another planetary system, who possessed advanced ethical and moral customs and warned about the misuse of energy.

El Tabú de la Ufología (The Taboo of Ufology)

Authored by Josep Guijarro and B.M. Carballal, this extensive article investigates the uncomfortable aspect of the UFO phenomenon: the suicides of supposed extraterrestrial contactees. It recounts the case of José Rodríguez Montero and Juan Turu Vallés, who died in 1972, leaving notes stating 'LOS EXTRATERRESTRES NOS LLAMAN.' The investigation delves into the lack of thorough police inquiry, the speculation surrounding the case, and the potential involvement of 'Men in Black.' The article explores the mysterious 'Tivissa' area, linked to Juan Turu's research, and the possible connection to the UMMO affair. It also touches upon the experiences of ufologist Marius Lleget, who received posthumous letters from the deceased and fell into a deep depression.

La Ovnisición

This section, presented as a critical commentary, discusses the case of Richard Price, who claimed to have had an implant placed by extraterrestrials in his genitals. The article questions the plausibility of this claim and criticizes ufologist Budd Hopkins for sensationalizing the story. It suggests that such cases might be attempts to discredit the abduction phenomenon. The commentary also briefly mentions the 'niño-pez' (fish-boy) cases from Peru, where infants with severe congenital conditions were not accepted by their communities.

OVNI en el Embalse de Sotonera (Huesca)

Authored by Bruno Cardeñosa, this report details a UFO sighting on February 10, 1991, near the Sotonera reservoir in Huesca, Spain. Seven witnesses in two cars observed an object described as five lights arranged horizontally, with a large central sphere and smaller lights on the sides, resembling a 'flying town.' The object moved like a helicopter, bordered a mountain, and then disappeared. The witnesses, though having cameras, were too astonished to capture any images. The object was noted to be orange-yellow and moved east-to-west.

OVNIS en Inglaterra (UFOs in England)

This article presents several accounts of alleged UFO encounters and abductions in the UK. Linda, a 42-year-old woman, recounted an experience under hypnosis where she was taken aboard a craft and examined. Jenny White, an insurance agent, described being followed and 'hit' by a UFO, leading to an abduction. Alan Godfrey, a former police officer, detailed an encounter where his patrol car was moved, and he was taken aboard a craft and examined by tall beings and robots. Milton Torres, a former US pilot, also shared his experience of being ordered to intercept a UFO over Kent.

Parapsicología en Zaragoza

Written by Luis Brieva, this report covers the First Parapsychological Conference held in Zaragoza from April 26-28, 1991. The event featured lectures, video screenings, and a tribute to D. Pascual Vázquez Arracó. Notable presentations included Carlos Bogdanic on parapsychological phenomena in Aragon, Josep Guijarro on 'UFOs: Bedroom Visitors,' and Manuel Carballal on 'The Evil Syndrome.' The conference was marred by the no-show of expected speaker J.J. Benítez and an incident involving an attendee. The report also mentions the 'MANIFIESTO PARAPSICOLÓGICO' (Parapsychological Manifesto) which calls for scientific rigor and university integration of parapsychology.

Extrañas Criaturas Encontradas en un Pueblo Montañoso (Strange Creatures Found in a Mountain Village)

Authored by Manuel Fernández, this article describes an encounter with a strange, small, blue-skinned creature found near Girona, Spain, in September 1988. The creature, described as having large yellow eyes, an appendix on its head, and amphibious characteristics, was captured and kept for four days before dying of starvation. Ángel Gordon, an investigator, confirmed that it was a cellular animal, not a fetus, and suggested it might be related to the origin of Smurf characters. The article includes drawings of the creature and its characteristics, as well as photographs of related books and the investigators.

Other Sections

• Otras Suicidios (Other Suicides): This section briefly lists other cases of alleged UFO-related suicides or deaths, including incidents in Terrassa, Morro do Vintem (Brazil), and Lérida.
• Telegramas (Telegrams): A section for reader messages, including a query about a possible apparition and a request for investigation into a strange temporal displacement.
• Colaboración Espacial (Space Collaboration): A brief mention of the discovery of lost US Avenger planes in the Bermuda Triangle.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena, ancient mysteries, and parapsychology. There's a critical stance towards sensationalism in ufology, as seen in the 'La Ovnisición' section, while also advocating for a scientific and rigorous approach to parapsychology, as outlined in the 'MANIFIESTO PARAPSICOLÓGICO.' The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, encouraging readers to question established narratives and consider alternative explanations, while maintaining a degree of skepticism towards unsubstantiated claims.
