This issue of Canadian UFO Report, an independent quarterly publication, focuses on a variety of UFO phenomena, including detailed accounts from Romania and Canada, a controversial UFO crash report from Peru, and an examination of the potential medical implications of UFO encounters.

Visitors of All Grades

The editorial reflects on how ideas for the publication can emerge suddenly, inspired by the reports being proof-read. The editor discusses two reports involving UFO 'bell-jar' sightings, one from Irene Granchi concerning Antonio's ordeal in a giant occupied 'redoma,' and another Belgian report of a stray 'bell-jar' in a city street. A witness drawing accompanying John Musgrave's analysis of 'critter' behavior is noted, illustrating a waterborne UFO case previously reported. The editor highlights the 'bell-jar' sightings, noting their high-domed effect and comparatively small rim, and contrasts them with other reported 'bell-jar' incidents, including one with a part-animal inside and another seen only on film. The editor posits that visitors may be separated by vast technological differences, with some making mistakes while others are highly advanced. A shared secret of flight is suggested as a means for these beings to navigate space and observe others, offering humanity a glimpse of the future.

Report from Romania: Mystery Of Flying Globes

This section features an article by Florin Gheorghita, following up on a previous report about 'bell-jar' shapes over Romania. The author discusses the documentation of UFO incidents over the past 30 years and the challenges in establishing ufology as a recognized science. Gheorghita argues that ufology will become a system of new conceptions that will infiltrate other scientific domains. He emphasizes the need for careful data gathering and analysis in the early stages of UFO research.

The article raises a key question: should ufology focus solely on 'extraterrestrial' vehicles or encompass all phenomena and luminous objects that behave in an alien manner? Gheorghita proposes a distinction between sightings of tangible flying machines and sightings of luminous globes with inexplicable behavior. He refers to 'foo fighters' from World War II and numerous references to brilliant balls of light in ufological literature.

Several photos from the 'active zone' of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, are presented, showing these globes. Gheorghita describes their principal characteristics:

• Structure: These spheres are not of material composition in the normal sense. They can reduce their light intensity and become transparent.
• Energy: The globes can produce light and radiate an unknown form of energy, evidenced by a dark halo that absorbs or eliminates natural light.

Regarding their movements, the globes often behave as if under intelligent control, arranging themselves in vertical formations. They can also radiate an energy frequency that renders them invisible to the naked eye, though they may appear on film. Some globes are noted to operate in the center of a shadow. Gheorghita suggests these are not manufactured machines and that each sighting of a luminous presence in the air should be analyzed.

The article connects these sightings to the case of Aveyron, France, and a similar case in San Marti de Tous, Spain, where luminous globes were seen and entered another craft. Gheorghita speculates that these globes might be devices for collecting information, possessing energy and being controlled by an unknown means. He also poses the question of whether they could be a type of cosmic being.

Northern Lights' New Show

This section reports on sightings of mysterious flying balls that occurred while the author was on a field trip in northern British Columbia. Tom Millard, a resident near Pinchi Lake, recounts an experience driving home when he saw a round, luminous blue ball, about the size of a basketball, moving slowly down a hill and across the road.

Millard also recalls other sightings of strange aerial balls in the area from years prior. He then describes a more significant experience at the campsite of an old mine, where he and several others witnessed a bright round object, white and blue like a welder's light, move past them at high speed without hitting anything, then shoot upwards and disappear.

Another incident involved a car that witnesses insisted was present on the other side of Pinchi Lake, despite there being no highway there. A man in his 70s, his wife, and granddaughter all saw headlights and a car driving up and down the non-existent road.

'Scouting' Globe Cases Recalled

This section presents two excerpts from CUFOR files that relate to Florin Gheorghita's speculation that flying globes might be 'devices for collecting information.'

• Case 1: In August 1967, residents of McLeese Lake, B.C., saw a glowing blood-red object, about the size of a soccer ball, moving over newly installed cables for the Peace River power project. The object's interest in the project, which had not yet started operation, was noted.
• Case 2: This case describes 'multiple midget planes' described as delta-winged, seen near Overkalix in Sweden in 1972. Six of these small planes were detected by a whistling sound and observed flying over a lake at incredible speed.

Matching Cases

This section presents two cases that are presented as matching the phenomena described elsewhere in the issue.

• Case 1 (Pinchi Lake, B.C.): John Lavoie reported seeing a formation of miniature jets with a wingspread of about five feet, described as 'triangular-shaped' and moving at an estimated speed close to 4,000 m.p.h. They disappeared into the lake or the shadow of a mountain.
• Case 2 (Lehighton, Pennsylvania): Leo H. Goldberg took a Polaroid shot of a 'silver and whitish' oval-shaped object, estimated to be 30 feet long and 24 feet wide, moving steadily and silently at 50-70 m.p.h. at an altitude of 300-500 feet.

Comments On Alleged UFO Crash In Peru

By ALAN D. MARCH (Director of South American UFO Registry)

This article discusses a reported UFO accident near Nauta, Peru, on November 11, 1975. The initial reports described an oval-shaped object, about 4 meters in length, with two spheres and an antenna. March contacted the local police chief and parson for more information.

The police provided a version of the event that differed significantly from newspaper accounts. According to a letter from a lower-rank officer, the landing occurred by the Tigre River on a large beach. The object was saucer-shaped with a diameter of approximately 40 meters. Four small beings, about 80-90 cm tall, were seen trying to fix something. When approached, they emitted a blinding light and a buzzing sound. A strong explosion followed, leaving a circle of glaring ashes that emitted tremendous heat. The next day, only ash material remained, and the bodies of the little men had turned into ashes that disintegrated other materials. A 'boa' serpent that slept in the ashes also disintegrated. Photos taken of the site were fogged.

A second letter from the parson stated he had no knowledge of such an event and that no one in the village remembered anything similar, except for a sighting of an object flying low over the horizon about ten years prior. March notes the astounding contradictions between the police and parson accounts, particularly given that Nauta is described as a small village where everyone knows everything. He concludes that the case is "highly dubious" until a proper "in situ" investigation is made.

Item From Albuquerque

This brief report, from the (N.M.) Journal, details the discovery of a mutilated bull on the outskirts of Dulce, New Mexico. The bull exhibited classic mutilation signs, with a circular incision around the rectum and removal of sex organs. Portions of the hide were separated, and the liver was white and felt like mush. Mysterious circular tracks, about four inches in diameter, led to the carcass. These tracks were evenly depressed and appeared to be made by something metallic and extremely heavy. An unofficial report mentioned a large orange light seen in the darkness south of the meadow.

Are UFOs Boon Or Curse To Medicine?

By HARRY TOKARZ

This article examines the increasing number of harmful effects attributed to close-range UFO encounters in recent years. Witnesses have reported temporary paralysis, blindness, radiation-type symptoms, and psychological disorders. Tokarz, who has been actively engaged in UFO research for half of his 30 years, notes that while these effects are serious, few professionals have openly recognized the problem.

Studies suggest that the symptoms are not psychosomatic and are directly related to interaction with unidentified flying objects or their occupants. The evidence indicates that medical problems may be caused by a radiation "by-product" rather than overt hostility. Tokarz recommends further investigation into the nature of electromagnetic fields as a potential clue to UFO function, as well as the radiating sources. He notes that specific induced effects in observers have become predictable based on the type of sighting.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature and behavior of unidentified aerial phenomena, particularly luminous globes and 'bell-jar' shaped craft. The magazine presents evidence from various locations, including Romania, Canada, and Peru, suggesting a global phenomenon. There is a consistent effort to analyze sightings, compare cases, and explore potential explanations, ranging from advanced technology to unknown energy sources. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging rigorous research while acknowledging the complexities and contradictions in witness accounts and reported evidence. The issue also touches upon the potential physical and psychological impacts of these encounters, highlighting the need for further scientific investigation.

This issue of the International UFO Reporter, Volume 4, Number 5, dated May 1979, focuses on the physiological and medical consequences experienced by individuals who have encountered UFOs. The publication, CUFOR, presents several case studies that highlight unexplained ailments and the challenges faced by witnesses in seeking medical explanations.

UFOs and Physiological Effects

The magazine begins by exploring the correlation between UFO encounters and physical symptoms. It notes that witnesses, particularly those at close range, often report experiencing effects such as nausea, conjunctivitis, severe headaches, and a sensation of 'electrical shock.' The article posits that electromagnetic energy emitted by UFOs might be the causative agent, potentially disrupting the human electrical system and leading to more severe conditions like catalepsy and unconsciousness. The close association between these effects and the human electrical system is emphasized, suggesting a need for comprehensive medical study.

Case Study: Yves David

On September 17, 1954, Yves David, while bicycling in France, experienced his bicycle light dimming and a 'prickling' sensation all over his body, akin to an electrical shock. He then observed a disc-shaped machine and a small, tight-fitting-suited being. After the being touched his shoulder and uttered an unintelligible sound, the craft ascended, emitting a greenish light. David recovered the use of his limbs and was treated for shock. The encounter is described as a potential early symptom of radiant energy from a UFO, leading to interference with the electrical system.

Case Study: Mrs. Pauline Dudgeon

Mrs. Pauline Dudgeon, a housewife in Madoc, Ontario, Canada, experienced eyesight problems for several months after observing an intensely glowing object in the winter of 1975. She described a large object covering the width of a highway, resting on it. The lights emanating from the object bothered her eyes, forcing her inside. She felt a sensation as if her face would freeze and became 'entranced' by the powerful lights. Afterwards, she noticed an 'impression' of the light remained, distorting her vision. An eye specialist suggested the trouble was similar to exposure to a 'welder's arc,' indicating a possible ultraviolet radiation component. The article notes that while the practitioner identified the type of radiation, he showed little interest in the source of the effects.

The Michalak Case: A Detailed Account

The issue dedicates significant attention to the case of Steven Michalak, a Winnipeg prospector, whose encounter began on May 20, 1967, near Falcon Lake, Manitoba. Michalak spotted two unknown objects, one of which landed near him, blowing vegetation. He observed the object for about 25 minutes before a door opened, emitting a brilliant purple light. He donned welding glasses and saw flashing red, green, and blue lights inside. Driven by curiosity, he touched the machine, causing his rubber-coated glove to melt. Simultaneously, the object spun, and he was hit by a blast of hot air, setting his clothes on fire and causing him to reel backward. The UFO then rose rapidly and disappeared.

Michalak was admitted to a hospital in Winnipeg, where doctors were baffled by his condition. He presented with second and third-degree burns in a curious 'checker-board' pattern on his chest. Explanations were difficult, as the doctors could not readily accept the UFO story. Michalak became ill, suffering from blackouts, nausea, and a strange odor. He lost 22 pounds, and his blood's lymphocyte count dropped considerably. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, concluded he had a 'foreign substance in his blood.' The 'checkerboard' burns would mysteriously disappear and reappear, begging for medical explanation.

The article suggests that intense infra-red radiation could have caused the burns. It also notes a hint of radio-active poisoning due to his blood's lymphocyte count drop and weight loss. UFOs are sometimes reported to be surrounded by a hot plasma that can radiate energy over a broad spectrum, including infra-red, visible, and ultra-violet.

Other Cases and Government Attitude

Miss Muriel McDowell of Santa Cruz, California, felt intense heat while watching a UFO in 1956, and her face, arms, and legs turned 'lobster-red.' She later died of leukemia. The report implies that concerns over such cases were kept secret, with a prevailing government attitude that the public is not mature enough to be informed. The issue also mentions the tight lid on facts about bizarre cattle mutilations, which are reportedly on the increase.

Lesions are also commonly reported in close encounter cases. The famous 'interrupted journey' case of Betty and Barney Hill involved an inflammation in a geometric circle around Barney's groin. The report suggests that examination with instruments by UFO occupants could be the cause. No psychosomatic explanation was found.

International Cases

In Brazil, the Antonio-Villas-Boas abduction case of 1954 involved penile lesions and a rash discovered by specialists. Police Chief Herb Schirmer of Ashland, Nebraska, developed a spinal somatic nerve lesion after a UFO pilot applied a glowing cylinder to his neck, leading to 'dehydration symptoms,' nausea, and headaches. Travis Walton, who was aboard a UFO for 5 days in 1975, experienced similar dehydration symptoms. In the Pascagoula, Mississippi case of 1973, Calvin Parker had three red lesions in a triangular shape on his left foot.

The article posits that a 'master plan' seems to be unfolding, with patterns becoming apparent, but bias and fear inhibit scientists. Direct contacts between extraterrestrials and humans are creating a hazardous biological situation. The abductions and medical examinations suggest a curious, possibly experimental, interest from these intelligences.

Dorothy Wilkinson and ESP

This section introduces Dorothy Wilkinson, a Scotswoman who, like a previously reported psychic Mrs. X, offers graphic evidence of communication with space visitors. Wilkinson claims to have communicated with UFOs and captured strange phenomena on film. She describes an incident in November 1974 where a 'star' moved in a peculiar manner, and upon signaling it with a flashlight, it appeared to respond. She observed small discs emerge from the object, form a V formation, and disappear. She has taken movies of these phenomena, which scientific experts have been unable to explain. These phenomena often appear on a single frame of film.

Wilkinson states that the craft will come and wait for her to take their picture, or page her by flying over her house or shining beams of light at her. Correspondent Graham Conway is preparing an article on her work, and Miss O.M. Beaton of the Vancouver Area Flying Saucer Club is also mentioned.

Unidentified People

This brief section includes a correction regarding the reporting of Phillip J. Klass's death and a note about a comparison made between Klass and 'Samuel Clemens.'

Report from Brazil: Antonio's Ordeal

This extensive report, by Irene Granchi, details the experience of Antonio Bogado La Rubia, a bus-driver from Paciencia, Brazil. He claims to have been abducted by the crew of a flying saucer for about an hour, during which he was subjected to several tests. He presented with strange symptoms, including temperature spikes to 42 degrees Celsius, and described a sensation of being roasted alive inside the disc.

Antonio was on his way to fetch his bus when he saw a flying saucer. He was then grabbed by two small beings and taken aboard. Inside, he floated between rows of beings with heads like 'American footballs.' The environment was described as blue and white, with total silence. He felt panicked but could not shout.

He was shown images on a screen, including himself naked, being examined by doctors, and later, himself dressed. He also saw a horse and cart, a countryman, a factory where UFOs are manufactured, and a train. A particularly disturbing scene involved a dog being attacked by one of the beings, causing the dog to melt into porridge.

Antonio also described being subjected to a blood-drawing procedure, where a syringe-like device was used on his middle finger. He was then shown images of three circles with an L-shaped mark, presumably related to the blood drawing. He believes he was tele-transported back to a street near his home.

Antonio experienced physical distress, including vomiting, loose bowels, and a burning sensation. His temperature was highly variable. The psychologist, Dr. Neli Carbonel David, noted his nervousness and the unusual nature of his symptoms, though she did not initially believe in UFOs. She confirmed his high fever and a 'brotoeja'-type eruption and scratches on his body. Antonio was reluctant to be examined or clothed, and his thirst was boundless.

Antonio's experience is compared to other UFO medical problems described in the preceding article. The report notes that Antonio's captors were described as beings about 1.68 meters tall, wearing metal helmets and rugby-shaped bands with mirror-like sections. They were clad in metal, breathed audibly, and had appendages that ended in a coffee-spoon-like tip that rotated at high speed. The beings were described as robots, but they also breathed.

Antonio recalled a screen showing him naked, being studied, and later, himself dressed. He also saw a horse and cart, a countryman, a factory of theirs, and a train. A significant event was the demonstration of a being melting into porridge after being attacked by a dog, which then also melted. Antonio's blood was drawn from his right middle finger.

She confirmed his high fever and a 'brotoeja'-type eruption and scratches on his body. Antonio was reluctant to be examined or clothed, and his thirst was boundless.

Antonio's account is corroborated by the psychologist's observations and the newspaper's initial report. The case is deemed delicate, with former cases resulting in patients going mad. The report highlights the difficulty in obtaining a thorough investigation due to a lack of resources and the sensitive nature of the subject.

The report highlights the difficulty in obtaining a thorough investigation due to a lack of resources and the sensitive nature of the subject.

Antonio's sketch of the 'robot' and a diagram of UFO 4-C are included. The report notes that Antonio's description of the beings was slightly different from the psychologist's, suggesting subjective influence. The case is compared to other UFO sightings and experiences, including the Mendoza Peccinetti-Villegas UFO sighting and the investigation by Mr. Cleto. The concept of space-time continuum change is also mentioned, referencing an incident where a sergeant was absent for 20 minutes and returned with a 5-day beard.

Antonio later met with the reporter again, describing his experience with less nervousness. He still felt thirsty and had lost weight. He was undergoing treatment and still felt a sense of 'floating.' He described the pain from the burning as being like being thrown in a pan of scalding water. He refused an injection, fearing it might worsen his condition.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the tangible, often severe, physiological and medical effects experienced by UFO witnesses. The magazine strongly implies that these are not mere psychosomatic reactions but genuine physical ailments caused by direct interaction with UFOs and their occupants. There is a consistent thread of criticism towards the medical establishment and government for their perceived apathy, skepticism, and failure to adequately investigate these phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for serious scientific inquiry into UFOs and their potential impact on human health, suggesting that these encounters may be part of a larger, unknown agenda, possibly related to 'co-habitation' or biological experimentation.

This issue of Canadian UFO Report, Volume 4, Number 4, dated April-May 1977, focuses on the behavior and origins of Canadian UFO occupants and critters, with a secondary focus on astronomical discoveries related to planetary systems. The magazine is published by Canadian UFO Report and features articles by John Brent Musgrave, Brinsley Le Poer Trench, and Franklin R. Ruehl, Jr., Ph.D.

Article: The Behavior and Origins of Canadian UFO Occupants and Critters (Part 2)

By John Brent Musgrave

Musgrave continues his analysis of UFO occupant encounters, categorizing them into seven types. This installment focuses on 'Type 5: Pit-Stops,' where occupants appear to be repairing craft or replenishing supplies. These cases often involve large craft near water and physical traces. He cites a 1914 case near Georgian Bay, Ontario, where a craft with occupants was observed, and critters were seen manipulating pipes. 'Type 6: Voyeurs and Peeping Toms' are discussed, where individuals are awakened to find critters observing them. Musgrave suggests these might be real physical events with psychic content. He notes similarities to the Fatima incident. A case from Wetaskiwin, Alberta, in 1961, describes a couple awakened by two short figures who spoke to the husband. Another case from Joliette, Quebec, in 1973, involves a woman observing a 'thing' with a round head and phosphorescent eyes. Musgrave posits that these 'voyeur' cases are critically dependent on physical location and may involve mental processes or physical distortions of the environment.

'Type 7: Molesters' are described as cases where people are awakened from sleep to find critters near their bed or peering through windows. These often involve shared dreams with UFO sightings. Musgrave highlights a case from Calgary, Alberta, in 1967, where David Sewalt, a 14-year-old, reported being chased by a flying saucer and later recalled being abducted and examined by critters with 'rough brown skin like a crocodile.' He suggests that many such cases, particularly those involving young boys, might represent experiences with the unconscious or collective consciousness of man, rather than purely physical events.

The article also touches upon 'monsters' associated with UFOs, citing an incident near Edmonton, Alberta, involving an octopus-like creature. Musgrave concludes that these seven types serve as useful fictions for sorting UFO experiences and suggest avenues for research.

Article: About Every Star, A Planetary Family

By Franklin R. Ruehl, Jr., Ph.D.

This article discusses the astrophysical discovery of MWC 349, a star in the constellation of Cygnus, which has a luminous disk extending from its center. Astronomers from the University of Arizona interpret this as a preplanetary nebula, supporting the hypothesis that stars naturally form planetary families. Ruehl explains the 'nebular' hypothesis of star and planet formation. He then discusses the discovery of extrasolar planets around Barnard's star and Epsilon Eridani, based on observations of stellar 'wobbles' caused by the gravitational pull of orbiting planets. Barnard's star is found to have at least two large planets, B1 and B2, while Epsilon Eridani also shows signs of planetary companions. The article suggests that the universe likely contains a vast number of planets, increasing the probability of life elsewhere.

Article: You And Me

By Brinsley Le Poer Trench

Trench speculates that 1978 might be 'The Year of the UFOs,' with 'ufonauts' making open contact. He notes the cultural impact of films like 'Star Wars' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' in preparing the public for such an event. He highlights that UFO sightings are increasingly reported by trained observers and reliable people, mentioning President Carter's reported sighting and Sir Eric Gairy's address to the United Nations. Trench also discusses his own actions in the British House of Lords, where he has raised questions about UFOs and put down a motion for debate.

Book Review: The Force in Your Life

This section reviews Don Wilson's book, 'The Force in Your Life: What It is and How To Master It.' The review connects the book's themes to the concept of 'life electricity' as proposed by Webster Edgerly, suggesting that humans possess a powerful, measurable electrical energy. It praises the book's upbeat style and its exploration of concepts like dynamic energy, personal magnetism, and better health.

Letters

The magazine includes several letters from readers:

• Antonio's Case: A letter discusses the case of Antonio, who claimed to have been abducted by UFO occupants. The writer notes similarities to other cases, such as the Mendoza and Bellizzi encounters, and the 'floating feeling' reported by witnesses. The letter also ponders the message the beings might have intended to convey.
• 'Bell-Jar' Case from Belgium: A reprinted excerpt from BUFORA Journal details an incident from January 1870 in Rhode-Saint-Genese, Belgium, where Leon Herbosch witnessed a 'goldish bell-shape' light that enlarged and became blindingly luminous.
• Dorothy Gibson, Janice Alpine, and Robert Keith Gibson: These individuals from Nanaimo, B.C., reported seeing two satellite-type objects followed by a crescent-shaped object moving rapidly across the sky.
• Lindsay Gardner: A 24-year-old student from Victoria, B.C., describes seeing a fast-moving, zig-zagging object in the sky that flashed red and white.
• Mrs. Alice Allison: From Lisbon, Ohio, she reports seeing a large, silent object with swaying branches and a motor sound.

A.P.C.I.C. UFO Clipping Service

This section advertises the Aerial Phenomenon Clipping & Information Center (A.P.C.I.C.), which offers comprehensive coverage of UFO and monster sightings in the U.S. and Canada, with a special section on world-wide sightings. It provides subscription details and information on obtaining back issues.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the classification and analysis of UFO occupant encounters, emphasizing sociological and psychological interpretations alongside physical evidence. The magazine appears to maintain an open but analytical stance towards UFO phenomena, presenting various cases and theories for reader consideration. There is a consistent interest in the 'occupant' aspect of UFOs, exploring the nature of the beings, their motives, and the impact on witnesses. The inclusion of astronomical discoveries about exoplanets suggests a broader interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial life and intelligence. The editorial stance seems to be one of encouraging research and open discussion on these complex topics, while also acknowledging the potential for psychological or symbolic interpretations of reported events.
