Editorial: S.O.S.

The editorial section expresses a plea for contributions and information regarding UFO and parapsychology research.

They emphasize that 'Búsqueda' aims to unite ideas and foster a shared pursuit of answers without personal gain, urging for more material to be shared.

¿POR QUÉ ESTA CONSPIRACIÓN UNIVERSAL DEL SILENCIO? (Why This Universal Conspiracy of Silence?)

Authored by Alex Roudene, this article explores the persistent official denial and skepticism surrounding the existence and visits of extraterrestrials. Despite numerous reports and broadcasts, science and governments largely ignore or dismiss the topic, often resorting to ridicule or labeling believers as mentally unstable. The article references the 'Condon Report' as an example of pseudoscientific imposture. It notes that while some scientists acknowledge the possibility of extraterrestrial life and have attempted communication, admitting their physical presence on Earth is met with extreme caution. The author suggests that governments fear public panic, citing the 1938 'War of the Worlds' broadcast as an example. However, the article also posits that extraterrestrial encounters are not always hostile and that humanity might be more prepared for contact than commonly believed, citing a study suggesting a significant portion of the population would not be entirely surprised.

TRIPULANTES (Crew Members)

This section discusses the concept of extraterrestrials, questioning whether they are superior beings from other civilizations or perhaps remnants of advanced Earth civilizations. It touches upon the scientific consensus that life likely exists on other planets. The article also references ancient legends of superior beings inhabiting Earth and mentions rudimentary electrical devices found, such as the Coso object, suggesting advanced technology predating modern understanding. The author also links biblical accounts, like that of Zechariah, to potential extraterrestrial encounters.

EL CASO DE TERRASA (The Terrassa Case)

Authored by José Ruesga Montiel, this piece revisits the 'Terrassa Case,' responding to an article by Guijarro and Carballal. Montiel clarifies his stance, refuting claims of his lack of collaboration and suggesting that the incident was not a result of manipulation or 'men in black' but rather a consequence of the misdirection of UFOlogy by enthusiastic but unprepared groups. He echoes Marius Lleget's sentiment that the UFO phenomenon had become unfocused, leading to confusion between dreams and reality. Montiel concludes that the case, whether suicide or murder, was a sad chapter in ufology and warns younger researchers against certain attitudes, emphasizing that UFOs are not a matter of faith but of investigation.

CRANEOMETRIA HUMANOIDE (Humanoid Craniometry)

This section, by Martha B. González, discusses the evolution of the human skull and its relation to intelligence. It explores the phenomenon of 'big-headed' humanoids, suggesting that their cranial size might be linked to advanced intelligence and telepathic communication. The article posits that a highly developed intellect and extrasensory faculties could lead to a macrocephalic skull. It also touches upon the idea of creating a specialized human component for space travel, requiring significant biological modification.

VEREDICTO (Verdict)

Written by Miguel A. Chamorro, this column reflects on the lack of reader response to a previous request for opinions on the 'Veredicto' section, leading to its discontinuation. Chamorro shares a theory by Peruvian historian Carlos Milla, distinguishing between 'spiritual' and 'technological' extraterrestrials rather than 'good' and 'evil' ones. He suggests that spiritual ETs inhabit Venus and Mercury, influencing humanity, while technological ETs focus on scientific research, possibly residing in parallel worlds. Chamorro also posits that planets closer to the Sun are more evolved, explaining the potential for advanced life there and the idea of humanity returning to a 'Todo' (God).

German Magazine Excerpts

This section includes translated snippets from German magazines, such as 'Neue Serie Top secret' and 'Aus den streng geheimen Papieren des Pentagon.' One article discusses a 'completely new' military aircraft and presents a photo claimed to be of an extraterrestrial recovered after a UFO crash near Roswell in 1947. Another article, 'Sie haben keine Haare...' (They have no hair...), describes an alien with specific physical characteristics. The German content suggests a strong interest in UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters in Germany.

LA OVNISICION (The UFO-vision)

This piece by Cristina Rueda attacks her again, accusing her and her husband, Elías, of organizing 'Operation Connection of Light' and soliciting donations under the guise of imminent extraterrestrial evacuation. The author condemns their actions as living off a 'scam' and wishes them eternal damnation.

¿QUE HAY DE CIERTO? (What is True?)

This article questions the authenticity of the NASA moon landings, citing Bill Kaysing's book 'We Never Went to the Moon.' It presents arguments suggesting the landings were faked, including the absence of stars in photos, the unrealistic appearance of the Earth, the lack of disturbed dust around the lunar module, and the implausibility of astronauts surviving radiation belts without adequate protection. The article also mentions that information about the Apollo missions is classified.

MISTERIO E.T. (Mystery E.T.)

Authored by Luis Jiménez Marhuenda, this article discusses the possibility of interstellar travel. It acknowledges that while science has not yet achieved this, other civilizations have. The author argues against denying the UFO phenomenon, citing credible witnesses like Albert Einstein and President Carter. He suggests that Einstein's later years involved questioning his own theory of relativity and hints at a possible solution for faster-than-light travel. The article explores the concept of interstellar journeys lasting decades, requiring families to live and reproduce on spacecraft, and the potential for new human races to develop on other planets. It also touches upon the idea of 'Planets Brothers' and the possibility of parallel worlds.

OTROS MUNDOS, OTROS MISTERIOS... (Other Worlds, Other Mysteries...)

This section features two articles. The first, by Francisco Padrón Hernández, discusses 'abductions' and 'contacts,' questioning the validity of some research and suggesting that many reported cases might stem from psychological issues like low self-esteem or social non-conformity. However, he also defends the sincerity of many abductees and contactees, viewing their experiences as a rebellion against a materialistic society. The second part of this section includes a 'CONSULTORIO SEMI/UFOLOGICO' (Semi/Ufological Consultation) where readers submit questions and receive humorous or sarcastic replies regarding UFOs, extraterrestrials, and related topics.

GUIMAR Y CANDELARIA

This article by P. Muñoz explores the connection between the pyramids of Güimar and the sanctuary of Candelaria in Tenerife. It suggests that Güimar might have been a sacred site related to Candelaria, with shared symbols pointing to spiritual significance and the manifestation of the divine. The author recounts a visit to the locations, noting the presence of unusual symbols and a strong energy, and discusses the interpretation of these symbols as representing a place where celestial energy is received and the divine appears on Earth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, extraterrestrial contact, parapsychology, and unexplained phenomena. There is a critical stance towards official denials and a skepticism towards mainstream scientific explanations. The publication advocates for open investigation and sharing of information, often presenting alternative theories and challenging established narratives. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry into the unknown, with a particular focus on the potential existence and interaction of extraterrestrial intelligences with humanity. There's also a recurring theme of questioning authority and established institutions, whether governmental, scientific, or religious.
