Title: CANADIAN UFO REPORT
Issue: Vol. 5, No. 1
Date: Winter, 1978-79
Publisher: CUFOR (Canadian UFO Report)
Country: Canada
ISSN: 0008 - 5243

This issue of Canadian UFO Report focuses on the phenomenon of 'invasions' or periods of heightened UFO activity, particularly highlighting the extensive wave of sightings in 1978, which the magazine labels 'The Great Invasion of 1978.' It presents UFOs as governed by an intelligent force, possibly attempting to communicate or warn humanity.

The Great Invasion of 1978

The article posits that UFO 'invasions' occur at predictable intervals, with the 1978 wave being potentially the most extensive ever recorded. While previous 'flaps' have focused on specific regions, the 1978 invasion appears to be global, with South America and Australia/New Zealand being highlighted as areas of intense activity. The magazine notes that UFO reporting has become more common, making it harder to distinguish specific invasion periods, but suggests that 'our visitors' are with us most of the time.

Dorothy Wilkinson's Australian Experience

The article introduces Dorothy Wilkinson, whose photographs are featured. It is suggested she has a psychic rapport with UFOs, enabling her to capture images. During a holiday trip to Brisbane, Australia, in September 1978, coinciding with a major Australian UFO flap, she took exceptional photos. Notably, shortly after her visit, Brisbane experienced a severe earthquake, leading the magazine to question if her UFO photography also captured a warning.

Frederick Valentich Disappearance

A significant event covered is the disappearance of pilot Frederick Valentich on October 21, 1978, near Melbourne, Australia. Valentich reported a large, hovering object with blinking green lights that appeared to be 'playing games' with him. His transmissions became garbled, and he was never found. His father believes he was taken by 'strange people.' The incident is presented as a prime example of the 1978 invasion.

Global Sightings and Patterns

The magazine details numerous other sightings from around the world:

• South America: Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Uruguay reported a high volume of sightings. Examples include fishermen in Argentina seeing a figure descend from a saucer, and a Peruvian engineer's encounter. In Argentina, soldiers witnessed disc-shaped objects flying in formation. In Chile, a businessman reported his car being 'swallowed' by a saucer, with his son being placed in a box.
• Canada: Sightings included a bright red object over Winnipeg confirmed by an Air Canada pilot and control tower staff, and an unidentified craft near Gander International Airport in Newfoundland. A bright floating light was also seen near Malahat Mountain in British Columbia, which briefly went out when an aircraft passed overhead. A spectacular event in Delta, B.C., involved a large flash and a fiery object taking off like a jet.
• Europe: Teen-agers in Tarbes, France, reported a display of about 20 'saucers' performing for hours. In Rome, Italy, a 'flying saucer' was reported for three consecutive days.
• Japan: An 'eerie encounter' was reported by Hideichi Amano in Sayama City, involving a strange, round-faced humanoid with pointed ears projecting a pipe-like device from its mouth, which communicated with him telepathically.

UFOs and Earthquakes: A Recurring Theme

The article revisits the idea of UFOs anticipating earthly disasters, drawing parallels between the Iran incident and a previous case involving a Romanian earthquake. It questions whether these UFO activities are deliberate warnings, noting that while some may dismiss them, paying attention could be beneficial.

The 1972 'Meteor' Incident

This section revisits a spectacular torpedo-like object with a brilliant tail seen over North America in August 1972. The magazine argues against the official explanation of it being a fireball or meteor, citing its low altitude, metallic and streamlined appearance, and possible exhaust as evidence of intelligent control.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the cyclical nature of UFO 'invasions,' the potential intelligence behind UFO phenomena, and the possibility that UFOs may be attempting to warn humanity about impending disasters, particularly earthquakes. The editorial stance is one of critical inquiry, presenting evidence from various sources and encouraging readers to consider the implications of these events, questioning official explanations and advocating for closer observation and analysis of UFO activity. The magazine clearly believes that UFOs are not random occurrences but are part of a deliberate, intelligent agenda.

Title: UFO Report
Issue: Vol. 4, No. 6
Date: November 1977
Publisher: Ideal's UFO Magazine

This issue of UFO Report presents a collection of articles exploring various facets of ufology, from eyewitness accounts of strange aerial phenomena to speculative theories about extraterrestrial involvement in human history and evolution.

Witness Accounts and Sightings

The magazine features several witness testimonies. Mrs. Belle Ede recounts seeing a silver, metallic, diamond-shaped object with flames bursting from its rear, flying east over Lake Windermere, Canada. This sighting is contrasted with other reports of north-bound objects in the same general area, suggesting the possibility of multiple craft.

Sam Sunter, as a boy, describes witnessing a 'hole in the sky' with flames on the other side, resembling a locomotive firebox, and a strong beam of white light descending from it. The object's color effect was red, and its size was comparable to four times the full moon.

Several 'Matching Cases' are presented, including a report from Ann Druffel's 'California Report' about a young boy seeing a white object with a glowing red bottom. Another case involves Capt. A.G. Chamberlain of the C.S.S. Parizeau sighting a circular or oval object, 200-250 feet in diameter, white on top and red below. The biblical description of Ezekiel's vision is also interpreted as a description of a strange machine.

Roger D. Benson, a U.S. serviceman in Antarctica in December 1958, reported seeing an object resembling an airplane fuselage with girder-like structures, and a thin, semi-human creature walking beneath it. This sighting occurred during Operation Deepfreeze, and Admiral George J. Dufek is quoted as stating that the existence of flying saucers cannot be discounted.

Vern Sattmann reported seeing three lights in the sky at Fairmont Hot Springs, Canada, in September 1976, revolving around an unseen point and having different colors (red, green, blue).

'Bighead' Reported

An article discusses the appearance of a 'monster' called 'Bighead' in several parts of Ohio, USA, described as standing nearly seven to nine feet tall with red bulging eyes and a head as wide as a tractor tire. Unexplained imprints were found on the ground where the creature was allegedly seen.

Riddle Of Rings

This section explores the mystery of ancient 'medicine wheels' found in North America and similar stone circles in Europe. Astronomer Michael Ovenden and planetarium director David Rodger discovered a startling coincidence in their designs, spanning 10,000 kilometers and three millennia, suggesting a potential extraterrestrial link or a tradition passed between continents.

You And Me

Brinsley Le Poer Trench discusses the controversial idea that planets, including Earth, might be hollow. He posits that extraterrestrial beings might live inside planets and that satellites have not found signs of intelligent life on the surface of planets in our solar system. He references books suggesting the moon is hollow and has intelligent activity, citing a NASA photograph of a track on the moon.

Cosmic Breeding

Authored by Kazmer Ujvarosy, this extensive section proposes that UFO crews are essentially extraterrestrial geneticists who have been visiting Earth for ancient times to breed increasingly perfect human types. The article traces this concept through biblical narratives, suggesting that ancient civilizations like Atlantis and the early Hebrews were part of these eugenic programs. It interprets biblical accounts of creation, the Deluge, and figures like Abraham, Noah, and Moses as evidence of extraterrestrial intervention in human development. The article suggests that the civilizing spacemen provided technical assistance and genetic guidance, and that the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza was an advanced technological feat by these beings.

The Use Of Reason

Beatrice Zimmer's article explores the idea that the UFO phenomenon involves scanning the mind of a contactee to determine their level of emotional acceptance and projecting a compatible image. This theory is used to explain the variety of UFO experiences, from seeing monsters to demons or invaders. The article suggests that a higher level of emotional acceptance allows for more direct and meaningful communication. It examines cases like those of John and Elaine Avis, and Betty and Barney Hill, as examples of this 'testing' and 'scanning' process. The article also touches upon the idea of surveillance continuing during and after encounters, citing the case of Sgt. Schirmer.

UFO Visitors and Testing

Another article discusses a curious case from 1969 where witnesses saw a light that repeatedly approached and stopped, seemingly signalling them to follow. This is presented as a 'testing of acceptance' by unknown forces. The article suggests a progression in such incidents, starting with fear and leading to mandatory contact, with the ultimate goal being reason and understanding.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of ufology with ancient history, religion, and human origins. There is a strong emphasis on the idea of extraterrestrial intervention in human development, particularly through genetic manipulation and breeding programs. The magazine seems to lean towards a speculative and theoretical approach, interpreting historical and religious texts through a UFO-centric lens. The overall stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, with a particular focus on the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial intelligence influencing humanity's past and future.

This issue of UFO Magazine, identified as Volume 1, Issue 33, published in Spring 1976, delves into a complex tapestry of ancient history, biblical interpretation, and modern UFO phenomena. The cover headline, "The Great Pyramid, Its Divine Message," sets the stage for a narrative that connects the construction of the pyramids to extraterrestrial intervention and the spiritual development of mankind. The magazine's primary focus appears to be on exploring the idea that advanced beings, referred to as 'spacemen,' influenced human history, particularly through the liberation and guidance of the Hebrew people.

The Great Pyramid and the Hybrid Masons

The issue begins by discussing the Great Pyramid of Giza, citing authors like D. Davidson and H. Aldersmith, who suggest it lacks an apex stone and was built by forced labor. The narrative then introduces the concept of 'hybrid masons' who were liberated from Egyptian bondage by Moses with the assistance of 'spacemen.' These masons, after crossing the Red Sea, became Freemasons and were guided by the spacemen to focus on spiritual and physical improvement, eventually leading to the spiritual improvement of all mankind through Christ.

Eugenic Laws and the Chosen People

The 'spacemen' are described as having provided the chosen people with 'scientifically computed statutes or eugenic laws' to ensure their prosperity. Those who failed to observe these laws and adhered to idolatrous practices were eliminated, while those who adapted to the Mosaic law were allowed to enter the Promised Land. The text notes that after forty years of cultivation and selection, the hybrid people became inbred and constant in observing the Mosaic law, leading to their transplantation into the Promised Land.

Corruption and Intervention

Despite initial prosperity in the Promised Land, the people became corrupted by the idolatrous culture and increased wealth. The 'spacemen' intervened again, introducing 'new, desirable genes' through 'crossbreeding or Christianity.' This intervention was part of a larger breeding plan that also involved reserving a new land for the development of the 'crossbred or Christian race.'

The United States as the New Israel

A significant portion of the article connects the biblical prophecies to the United States. A message from the Lord to King David, as recorded in 2 Samuel 7:4-14, is interpreted as foretelling the establishment of a kingdom in the United States, with Jesus Christ as its ruler. The text argues that the 'appointed place' mentioned in the prophecy does not refer to Palestine but to a new land reserved for the development of the crossbred race. The obverse side of the Great Seal of the United States, with its thirteen stars forming the Star or Shield of David, is presented as evidence that the United States is the new State of Israel, symbolizing the nation's divine protection.

Parallels Between Moses and Washington

The article draws historical parallels between Moses and George Washington. Both are depicted as leaders who rebelled against tyrants and led their people to freedom. Moses led the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage, while Washington led the Thirteen Colonies to freedom. The motto on Washington's coat of arms, 'Exitus Acta Probat' ('going out to the sea-shore to prove (a will)'), is linked to Moses's act of leading the Israelites across the Red Sea. The famous painting 'Washington Crossing the Delaware' is compared to artistic representations of Moses's 'Crossing of the Red Sea.'

Biblical References and UFOs

Further parallels are drawn between biblical events and modern phenomena. The 'eagles' wings' mentioned in Exodus 19:3-4 are interpreted as a reference to aerial vehicles or levitation, connecting to the lunar module 'Eagle' and the 'Hornet' helicopter used in the moon landing. The biblical account of 'great stones from heaven' falling upon the Amorites is compared to modern UFO sightings.

UFO Sightings and Theories

The magazine also features a section on UFO sightings and related topics. A book review of "The Missing Seven Hours" by David Haisell discusses the experiences of Gerry Armstrong, who had seven hours of his life inexplicably removed. The review touches upon the nature of UFO investigators encountering self-styled witnesses and the challenges of discerning credible accounts.

Several letters to the editor discuss UFO phenomena. Betty Jones from Kalispell, Montana, reports on a looped streak appearing in a photograph taken at Stanton Lake, correlating it with seismic activity in the area. Frances S. Goldsmith of Williamsville, New York, reflects on the potential of UFOs to guide humanity through troubled times, referencing her former teacher's insights on the vastness of the universe.

Another letter by B. Méheust questions several statements regarding UFO abductions, particularly challenging the notion that abductions are limited to Europe or adult males. The writer provides counter-examples and discusses the possibility of UFOs being emanations of the human psyche, divine messengers, or demonic agents. The letter also references historical accounts of UFO-like craft described by figures like Alexander the Great and Cicero, suggesting a long history of such phenomena.

Malfunctioning Craft and ICUFON

A section titled "Malfunctioning Craft" explores various theories about UFOs, including psychic origins, divine or demonic agents, and extra-terrestrial visitors. It recounts an incident where a farmer witnessed a disc UFO with numerous small panels from which dark-blue smoke escaped. Another report details a malfunctioning space-ship in Salta, Argentina, which released two smaller craft before crashing in Bolivia, with Argentinian investigators reportedly denied access to the wreckage.

The issue also highlights ICUFON's (International Committee for UFO Research) Historical Memorandum to the United Nations, presenting it as a significant document for understanding the potential threat of UFOs to international security. The memorandum is described as containing 100 pages of governmental documentation and evidence analysis.

Advertising and Services

Advertisements include the A.P.C.I.C. (Aerial Phenomeon Clipping & Information Centre) UFO Clipping Service, offering U.S. and Canadian UFO and monster sighting coverage. There is also an advertisement for the Canadian UFO Report and a notice from George D. Fawcett seeking information for a research project on 'Human Reactions to UFO.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the interpretation of ancient texts and structures (like the Great Pyramid) through the lens of extraterrestrial intervention, the idea of a divine or alien-guided human evolution, and the exploration of UFO phenomena as a contemporary manifestation of these forces. The editorial stance appears to be one that seeks to connect historical, religious, and scientific narratives to a grander, possibly extraterrestrial, plan for humanity. The magazine encourages readers to consider unconventional interpretations of history and to remain open to the possibility of alien influence in human affairs, particularly in the context of the United States's perceived destiny.
