Articles and Features

UFOs, Contacts, Bedroom Visitors, or What Demons?

This lead article, by José Mª Martínez, categorizes UFO encounters into three phases: close sightings, sightings with environmental effects, and encounters with occupants. It highlights the inexplicable nature of UFOs, suggesting they may be beyond current scientific understanding. The article posits that UFO phenomena, their signs, and behaviors might be linked to activities of "fallen and deceptive spirits associated with our planet." It draws parallels between UFO contactee messages and those received by mediums and mystics, suggesting a connection to demonology, which is described not as madness but as the "ancient and erudite study of monsters and demons."

Veredicto (Verdict)

This section features a letter from Miguel Angel Chamorro responding to a previous article. Chamorro expresses his agreement with the idea of spiritual ETs but questions the proliferation of "contactees" who see UFOs and ETs everywhere, suggesting these might be manifestations of personal traumas. He argues that many reported UFO sightings are actually unidentified flying objects (UFOs) rather than extraterrestrial craft, citing the example of advanced aircraft that can be mistaken for alien vehicles. He also points to the variety of reported UFO types as evidence of imagination rather than confirmed alien technology.

Two Farmers Claim to be the "Extraterrestrials" of the Crop Circles

This article reports on the confession of Doug Brower and David Chorley, who admitted to creating crop circles in England. They demonstrated their method using simple tools, revealing that the phenomenon, which had been ongoing for eight years, was a prank rather than extraterrestrial activity. The article notes that while this confession explains some cases, some scientists remain unconvinced, and the phenomenon had attracted significant public and tourist interest.

The Enigma of the UFO Medusa: A Thirteen-Year Mystery

This piece details the 1977 Petrozavodsk incident, where a large, jellyfish-shaped UFO reportedly emitted rays that created perfect circular holes in building windows. The event was investigated by Soviet scientists, including those from the Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, who confirmed witnessing a bright object. The article notes that the holes did not show signs of melting, suggesting a physical, non-thermal process. It also mentions similar sightings in northern Russia on the same day and the UFO's reappearance over several months. The investigation by Dr. Dale P. Cruikshank from the University of Hawaii is highlighted, with Soviet scientists confirming the event and ruling out rocket launches.

Jefferson Souza is Back in the Saddle

This article discusses Jefferson Souza, a Brazilian contactee investigated for potentially spreading false information related to UFO phenomena, possibly in collaboration with intelligence agencies. It mentions that previous investigations concluded Souza was involved in "intoxicating" the phenomenon and using it fraudulently. Despite past controversies, Souza has reappeared in an "Audio Catalog" from "The UFO Library," featuring prominent contactees.

UFOs Over Galicia: The Province of La Coruña Has the Highest Number of Registered Cases

This report by Roberto Mirás highlights a significant increase in UFO sightings in Galicia, Spain. Manuel Carballal, a researcher, states that around 200 cases have been recorded, with about a quarter explained by conventional phenomena. The last decade has seen a tripling of cases. The article discusses "flying saucers," alleged landings, and even abduction experiences, with Carballal reporting a dozen encounters with UFO occupants and a couple of abduction cases. The increased acceptance and divulgation efforts by centers like CIP are cited as reasons for more people reporting their experiences. A survey indicates that university students under 25 are the most likely to believe in extraterrestrials. La Coruña is identified as the province with the most sightings, followed by Pontevedra, Lugo, and Ourense. The article notes that many cases in rural areas are intertwined with local folklore like the "Santa Compaña," complicating investigations.

Macro-Sightings

This section describes instances where thousands of Galicians simultaneously witnessed UFOs. An example is given of a large unidentified object seen on November 5th from various locations. Researchers have interviewed witnesses from different towns, confirming the reality of these objects.

"Journey to Egypt"

This travelogue by A.F.K. (Manuel Fernández and Jaume Amer) recounts their trip to Egypt. They describe the preparations, the flight to Cairo, and their initial impressions of the country, noting the strong security presence and the blend of cultures. The article hints at future discussions about Egyptian culture and history.

Abduction: The Mystery Continues

Authored by Antonio Aguilera, this piece revisits the classic Betty and Barney Hill abduction case, which occurred in 1961. It details their experience of a memory gap, subsequent hypnotic regression, and the alleged examination aboard a UFO. The article mentions Marjorie Fish's research connecting the star map shown to the Hills to the Zeta Reticuli system. It also touches upon other abduction cases, including that of Próspera Muñoz in Spain, investigated by Antonio Ribera. The author questions the motives behind these alleged investigations of humans, especially since the cases date back decades. The reliability of hypnosis as a method for recalling such experiences is also debated.

Other Worlds, Other Mysteries...

This article by Francisco Padrón Hernández discusses strange cases of animal mutilations, specifically cattle, occurring in Denver, Colorado, in 1978. Margarita, a Denver resident, recounts witnessing mysterious lights and hearing helicopter noises, followed by the discovery of a cow with a circular cut and extracted organs, with no blood or signs of decomposition. She suggests the possibility of terrestrial involvement, perhaps using UFO phenomena as a cover for surgical procedures. The article also references Salvador Freixedo's views on "false helicopters" often associated with cattle mutilations, noting that while some military helicopters may be involved in extraterrestrial-related tasks, others might be used by groups to camouflage criminal activities and experiments by blaming ETs. The author concludes that manipulation, possibly terrestrial, is evident in these events.

Points of View

This section features an article by P. Muñoz titled "Points of View," discussing the UFO phenomenon. Muñoz reflects on the nature of UFOs, suggesting they might be manifestations of higher dimensions or consciousness. He notes that while many researchers focus on the physical aspects, the spiritual and psychological dimensions are equally important. The article touches upon the idea that UFOs might be projections or illusions, and that our understanding is limited by our three-dimensional perception. It also mentions the possibility of extraterrestrial beings influencing human consciousness and the importance of spiritual development in understanding these phenomena.
