Article Summaries

¿SE DEBE PERMITIR ESTO? LA OVNISICIÓN

This section criticizes magazines like "E.T." and "Espacio y Tiempo" for publishing sensationalist and unverified UFO stories, such as the alleged capture of an extraterrestrial in Virginia. The author argues that such publications create confusion and damage the credibility of serious UFO research. They condemn "Asombroso" and "Espacio y Tiempo" for their role in spreading these "montages" and express confidence that time will reveal the truth.

LOS OVNIS TAMBIÉN TRAEN SIGNOS

Luis Jiménez Marhuenda discusses the Veronezh UFO incident and subsequent events, suggesting that extraterrestrials are revealing themselves cautiously due to humanity's unpreparedness. He posits a connection between UFO phenomena, the concept of "up" (arriba), and a potential spiritual awakening, hinting at a joint program between extraterrestrials and spirits to guide humanity. The article also touches upon the psychological impact of accepting the UFO phenomenon and its relation to spiritual transcendence.

OVNIS: INCOGNITA QUE APASIONA BÉLGICA

This report details a wave of extraordinary UFO sightings in Belgium over an 18-month period. It quotes prominent figures like Wilfried de Brouwer, Chief of Staff of the Belgian Air Force, and Auguste Meessen, a physicist from the Catholic University of Louvain, who suggest the phenomena might be extraterrestrial technology. Lucien Clerebaut of SOBEPS highlights the consistency of witness descriptions, often involving triangular objects with powerful lights. The article recounts specific incidents, including a five-minute film of a UFO and radar data showing unusual object behavior when intercepted by F16 fighter jets. The implications for Belgian defense and interior ministries are noted, along with the scientific community's cautious approach.

ENCUENTROS SIN FASE

Silvia Peralta recounts her encounter with Mari, a woman who had been involved with the "Misión Rama" sect. Mari's experience within the sect, which promised contact with extraterrestrials, led to disillusionment and hardship due to lack of resources. Despite the negative experience, Mari still holds onto her belief in extraterrestrial beings, illustrating how individuals can be drawn into such groups with hopes of contact.

DIEZ AÑOS MIRANDO AL CIELO

Fidel Balés reports on the monthly UFO vigils held on Montserrat mountain, promoted by ufologist Luis Grifols. Grifols claims direct contact with extraterrestrials since 1977 and believes Montserrat is a "sacred or magical mountain" with connections to the Holy Grail and Wagner's "Parsifal." He asserts that UFOs are highly pure entities acting as "awakeners of human intuition" and are responsible for many Marian apparitions. The article also mentions specific UFO-related events on November 11th, 1979 and 1980, involving aircraft.

VISIONES, MARIHUANA Y FUEGOS ARTIFICIALES BAJO LA ROCA DEL LORO

Tura Soler describes a monthly UFO gathering on Montserrat mountain led by Luis Grifols. The event involves participants looking at the sky, with some reporting sightings of luminous phenomena. The article notes the presence of marijuana smoke and the use of fireworks by some attendees, leading to skepticism about genuine sightings. Grifols insists on the difference between shooting stars and UFOs, claiming dialogue is possible with the latter. The piece concludes with a young woman's observation: "You see what you want to see."

CONSULTORIO "SEMI. UFOLÓGICO"

This section features humorous responses to reader questions about UFOs and related phenomena. Questions range from the connection between UFOs and marital issues to the possibility of alien abduction and the existence of "men in black." The answers are lighthearted and often debunk the more outlandish claims, attributing sightings to mundane explanations like police helicopters or neighbors' cats.

OTROS MUNDOS, OTROS MISTERIOS

Francisco Padrón Hernández explores the enigmas of the Güímar Valley in the Canary Islands, linking it to Templar presence and potential Atlantean knowledge. He discusses the search for hidden treasures, the symbolism of the Virgin Mary (Isis), and the significance of geographical points forming a triangle, possibly related to Templar activities. The article mentions unusual constructions resembling pyramids and reports of inexplicable malaise experienced in certain areas, suggesting a connection to intraterrestrial realms.

ENTREVISTA

This section contains interviews with Andreas Faber-Kaiser, a writer and broadcaster known for his UFO research, and his son, Sergi Faber. Andreas discusses his current silence on UFOs, his ongoing investigations, and his belief that a solution to the UFO phenomenon already exists, referencing his book "El muñeco humano." Sergi shares his perspective on following in his father's footsteps, his views on UFOs, and his thoughts on the "third generation" of UFO researchers. Both express a desire for truth and understanding.

II JORNADAS PARAPSICOLOGÍA

Josep Guijarro reports on the II Parapsychology Conference held in Puerto de la Cruz. The event featured speakers like Francisco Padrón, who presented research on parapsychology and UFOs in the Canary Islands, including psychophonic recordings. Próspera Muñoz shared her abduction experience from Jumilla, and Luis Jiménez Marhuenda discussed the "UMMO affair." Other speakers included Félix Rojas on Canarian history, Etelvina Vinent on extraterrestrial communications, Gabriel Carrión on debunking UFO phenomena, and Dr. Francisco Julio Padrón (whose presentation was substituted by Francisco Grande). The conference also included discussions on Atlantis, the mystical aspects of UFOs, and personal extrasensory experiences.

NOTAS ARCHIVO

This section presents two historical news clippings. The first, from "Los Sitios" (April 1, 1952), reports the discovery of three "flying saucers" with 16 human-like corpses in an atomic test field in Canada. The second clipping, also from "Los Sitios" (April 20, 1952), discusses the repercussions in Ceuta of the news about the "flying saucers" and mentions sightings of luminous stars over Barcelona and Alberta. The author notes the similarity of these old reports to contemporary UFO news, suggesting a lack of progress in understanding the phenomenon.

DESVELANDO SÍMBOLOS

P. Muñoz explores the symbolism of the letter 'M' or a similar figure, often found on churches and associated with the Virgin Mary and black virgins. He questions the connection between this symbol, Venus, and the Templars, suggesting it might represent a spiritual or energetic point. The article also touches upon Ricardo Cáceres' music, which he claims was inspired by a UFO sighting and incorporates geometric patterns similar to the symbol.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of "Búsqueda" revolve around UFO sightings, alleged extraterrestrial encounters, and the broader field of parapsychology. There's a strong emphasis on investigating unexplained phenomena, with a critical eye towards sensationalism and a call for serious, evidence-based research. The magazine seems to adopt a stance of open inquiry, presenting various perspectives from researchers, witnesses, and even skeptics, while also highlighting historical cases and symbolic interpretations. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting a deeper understanding of these mysteries, encouraging readers to question and investigate rather than dismiss phenomena outright. There's a clear interest in connecting UFOs with ancient mysteries, spiritual awakenings, and potential extraterrestrial intelligence influencing human development.
