Editorial Announcement

The issue begins with a significant announcement from Editor John Magor, stating that after ten years, the publishing company of Canadian UFO Report has decided to transfer the magazine to other hands. Magor explains that while the publication has grown and attracted many talented contributors, it has remained essentially a one-person operation. He feels that to meet the growing stature of ufology as a recognized field of study, which requires more travel and engagement with international meetings, a new approach is needed. Therefore, the magazine is being placed on the market for sale, with the primary consideration being continued honest and informative service to its readers. Renewal notices for subscriptions expiring with this issue will be delayed until a change of ownership is determined.

Segmented Beams of Light

By Jean Bastide, this article details a strange incident on October 18 or 19, 1965, in Mogy-Guacu, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Two luminous objects, separated by 2,000 meters, became visible. The left object directed a beam of light at a balcony pillar, projecting the image of a dwarf-like figure. Subsequently, the first object projected a horizontal band of light towards the second, resulting in an explosion, a flash, and sound, after which both objects and the light band disappeared instantly. Simultaneously, all oil lamps and flashlights went out. The witnesses were Senora Lucia Anhaia and her grandson, Darinho. The article suggests that UFOs might induce a field that stops chemical reactions, citing a French case where a diesel engine was stopped by a UFO. It also references a Canadian case from January 1, 1970, where an egg-shaped object emitted a ray of light in pieces, resembling Morse code, causing a witness's hair to stand on end.

Further examples include a sighting in Utah in 1966 where a witness described an object with a dome and a deck, made of aluminum-like material, hovering slowly. Another case from June 1972 near Graz, Austria, involved a 'drop' shaped object with a red-orange ring and flickering top, which acquired an extension toward the east with red dashes.

The article concludes by posing whether these segmented beams of light, described as "luminous gliding vectors," could be related to a system of UFO propulsion, noting their directional display and potential effect on the atmosphere.

Matching Cases

This section presents several reported UFO incidents that share similarities.

One case describes the experience of coed Joyce Dehner in West Virginia on October 24, 1978. She saw green, red, and white lights from an object that appeared like a hat or half-crescent of the moon, with dark visor-like windows. Sparks of fire emerged from the bottom, and balloon-like objects appeared. One object flew over and fell behind Fort Copacabana, another into the water, appearing like a lamp and then a man-like figure emerged from the water with a light.

Another matching case is from a report by Mrs. Leona Nielson describing a 1970 sighting near Glacier Park, Montana, where "men" were seen wearing snow-suits and walking as an average person. The rim of a dome-shaped object was described as six feet wide, filled with sparks.

Report from Brazil: One Incredible July Night In Rio

By Irene Granchi, this report details a night of intense UFO activity in Rio de Janeiro on July 23, 1978. Mrs. Neusa Ribeiro and her children witnessed an object that appeared like a "moon falling." It was described as hat-shaped or half-crescent, with dark visor-like windows. Sparks of fire emerged, and balloon-like objects appeared. One object fell into the water and seemed to stand on it, floating towards the beach. A man-like figure emerged from the water carrying a light. The article also includes a matching case from Mrs. Leona Nielson describing humanoids near Glacier Park, Montana.

Mrs. Virginia Guimaraes also reported seeing several balloon-like objects, one of which was cigar-shaped with a large beam attached. Altogether, eight objects were counted. She experienced a "vibration" that she compared to a running motor or a large electric fan.

You and Me

By Brinsley Le Poer Trench, this article discusses a reported "UFO Alert" in Russia, where Soviet citizens were asked to report sightings directly to the Soviet Academy of Science. The city of Petrozavodsk had been experiencing continuous sightings since September 20, 1977, with huge UFOs and colored lights, one of which reportedly beamed down light that made holes in paving stones. Professor Aleksei Zolotov stated that this was the first admission by the Academy that secret UFO research was being conducted at this level, and that top Soviet scientists believe space beings will contact Earth soon. Dr. Vladimir Azhazha commented on a "huge mother ship" that appeared to be in the final stage prior to direct communication with Earth.

Trench also references a previous article about the House of Lords UFO Debate and his appeal to the Minister of Defence for a broadcast interview about UFOs, which was not successful. He notes the increase in UFO sightings worldwide and suggests that open landings by alien visitors might occur soon, urging preparedness.

Dorothy Wilkinson's UFO Photos

This section presents three new UFO photos from contactee Dorothy Wilkinson of Richmond, B.C. The first photo, taken on a March night in 1977, shows a dim elongated structure with window-like apertures hovering close by, with an occupant in headgear visible. This photo is also featured on the cover. The second photo, taken in February, shows two crescent-shaped craft flying in tandem, with colors described as brilliant blue, purple, and gold. The third photo, taken in June, shows the bottom of a "huge" rectangular craft with a gold rim and blue attachments, emitting a white glow.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Canadian UFO Report focuses on detailed accounts of UFO sightings and encounters from various parts of the world, including Brazil, Canada, the USA, and Europe. A recurring theme is the description of luminous objects, often with unusual shapes and behaviors, and the appearance of humanoid figures. The magazine also highlights the potential for advanced UFO technology, such as segmented beams of light and propulsion systems. The editorial stance, as indicated by the editor's announcement, is one of dedication to providing honest and informative UFO news, while also acknowledging the need for the publication to evolve and potentially change ownership to better serve its readership and the growing field of ufology. The issue concludes with a call for a welcoming attitude towards potential extraterrestrial contact.

This issue of the magazine, titled "The Nature of Acceptance," features a cover story by Beatrice Zimmer that explores the implications of close encounters with UFOs and potential extraterrestrial intelligence. The issue delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, including witness accounts, photographic evidence, and theoretical discussions about the nature of alien life and their potential motives.

The Nature of Acceptance

Beatrice Zimmer's lead article discusses a 1975 incident involving Sandra Larson, her daughter, and a friend who witnessed eight to ten glowing orange objects. They experienced a significant time lapse and, during a hypnotic regression session facilitated by Dr. Leo Sprinkle of A.P.R.O., Sandra recalled being taken aboard an alien craft. The article suggests that these encounters might involve more than mere biological studies, positing that advanced extraterrestrials might use communication methods tailored to human understanding, potentially involving direct mental contact or even restructuring the human brain.

The author argues that the persistence of these phenomena suggests a deliberate effort by advanced beings to communicate. If direct communication is difficult due to disbelief, information might be planted in the minds of individuals for subsequent retrieval by their society. This approach, blending accurate and inaccurate data, could intrigue inquisitive members of society and gradually lead them to a conviction about the reality of alien visitation.

The article also highlights the case of Sergeant Charles Moody, who had a close encounter in August 1975. Notably, Moody's recall was achieved without hypnosis, suggesting a programmed recall. The author emphasizes that Moody, previously a UFO skeptic, reported details that bore strong similarities to other cases, reinforcing the idea that humanity is being studied by highly advanced extraterrestrials.

Behavioral Control and Communication

The article further explores the concept of behavioral control in UFO encounters, drawing from the Moody case. It notes that Moody struck out at the entities but received no retaliatory blows. Instead, he was questioned about his state of health and the entities were ordered out, suggesting a test of his reaction. The incident implies that control over human behavior is possible and that witnesses might be given opportunities to alter their responses from fear to calmness and a desire to learn.

The use of subtle methods, such as suggesting to a percipient that they can be located at any time, indicates a sophisticated monitoring system. This system could be used to analyze reactions and subsequent use of data, potentially controlling the flow of accurate information to humanity. The idea of a monitoring system that studies subjects before and after encounters is also raised, suggesting that investigators themselves might be studied.

Case Studies and International Reports

The issue presents several case studies:

• Dale Wood Incident (1978, Uintah Basin, Utah): Dale Wood observed a silver dome-shaped object that hovered overhead. He felt he was being watched, and during the encounter, his grandmother also saw the object. The incident was accompanied by the temporary cessation of air conditioning and TV, and unusual behavior from dogs.
• 1951 Incident: A driver encountered a figure who requested water and was subsequently invited aboard an unusual object. The witness was able to ask questions and learn a great deal, demonstrating a positive interaction.
• South Africa Report (1978): Reports of eerie sightings and strange beings near Uitenhage led to speculation of extraterrestrial visitation.
• Swedish Reports (1977-1969): The issue details two cases from Sweden involving Kurt Nilsson and Kjell Naslund, both associated with a transmitting station on Hemliden. Nilsson encountered three humanoid figures and a hovering object that caused his car to stop. Naslund reported a similar experience in 1969 with a giant UFO and small, box-shaped creatures inspecting the station.
• Canadian Reports (1971): A report from Drumheller, Alberta, describes a strange squarish structure seen briefly, leaving oval-shaped marks.
• Washington State Report (1965): An incident in Custer, Washington, involved an observed object that left a circular print in the snow with oval-shaped tracks.

UFO Photography

An excerpt from an article by Trevor James Constable, published in The BSRA Journal, offers advice on high-altitude UFO photography using a camera with a built-in intervalometer and a heavy violet 18A filter. Constable suggests shooting from an airliner to capture unusual forms and colors, including a series of exposures showing a red and yellow "critter" warping or dematerializing, and stark white Adamski-type UFOs with diffuse blue fields of force.

Dorothy Wilkinson of Richmond, B.C., is also mentioned for her ability to capture unexplained camera effects without filters, attributing her success to psychic gifts.

The Artificial Moon Theory

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the controversial theory that the moon might be an artificial spaceship. Dr. Franklin R. Ruehl, Jr., discusses this thesis, advanced by Soviet astrophysicists Drs. Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov. They proposed that the moon is a titanic space vessel, billions of years old, with internal cavities housing alien entities and life-sustaining systems. The theory is supported by findings from Apollo and Luna missions that indicate the moon's composition differs from Earth's, and by the way the moon reverberated like a hollow metal sphere when struck by landing modules.

The article also references Dr. Robert Goddard's early proposal to convert asteroids or moons into space vehicles for mass exodus. The authors encourage readers to consider this hypothesis, especially given that reputable scientists are willing to stake their reputations on it.

Zeroid Beings from the Cosmic Void?

Dr. Franklin R. Ruehl, Jr., also contributes an article exploring the concept of "Zeroids" – bioforms that may inhabit the cosmic void. He cites biological experiments by Dr. Robert L. Dimmick, which demonstrated that bacteria could develop and reproduce in a gaseous suspension devoid of solid or liquid medium. This suggests that space itself could be a suitable environment for the evolution of life. The article also touches upon the discovery that outer space is not at absolute zero temperature but has a slight positive temperature, filled with a mysterious flux of radio wave energy, which could support the existence of such bioforms.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reality and significance of UFO phenomena, the potential for communication with advanced extraterrestrial intelligences, and the exploration of unconventional theories such as the artificial moon and zeroid life forms. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded, investigative stance, presenting various reports and theories for readers to consider, while also emphasizing the need for critical analysis and further research. The editorial stance encourages a gradual increase in public awareness regarding the existence of an external force, suggesting that as credibility is established, more encounters may surface and humanity may eventually be ready for open contact.

This issue of UFO magazine, published in Spring 1979 by U.P. Investigations Research Inc. of Canada, presents a collection of articles and letters exploring various facets of UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial life, and their potential connections to religious and historical narratives.

Zeroidal Life Forms in Interstellar Space

The first article, by Kazmer Ujvarosy, speculates on the existence of 'zeroidal life' in the vastness of interstellar space. It posits that the extreme cold of nebulae, far from precluding life, might actually foster it. The author suggests that cosmic rays and stellar winds could act as catalysts for the agglutination of atoms into complex molecular chains, forming the basis of life. This process, termed 'tunneling,' could occur even at very low temperatures, allowing for the formation of prebiotic compounds. The article highlights the discovery of numerous organic compounds in space, such as formaldehyde and prussic acid, as evidence supporting this hypothesis. Given the universe's immense age, it is conceivable that zeroidal entities could represent the earliest forms of life, having evolved over billions of years into diverse morphologies, though not necessarily humanoid.

However, the article concludes that while zeroids might inhabit outer space, it is improbable they have entered Earth's atmosphere as living UFOs, citing the lethal terrestrial conditions of temperature, pressure, and gravity compared to their natural, near-zero environment. The risk of atmospheric friction would also be a significant deterrent.

The Cosmic Message and Religious Texts

Another section, also by Kazmer Ujvarosy, explores the idea that a 'cosmic message' might not be transmitted via radio signals but could be delivered through direct knowledge from beings who have visited Earth. It references ancient religious texts, particularly those concerning Cain, Seth, and Zoroaster, suggesting that divine knowledge and instructions were imparted by angels or heavenly messengers. The birth of Jesus is described through early Christian writings and the account of a midwife named Zelomi, emphasizing a star of extraordinary brightness, a luminous cloud, and angelic presence.

The text further details events involving Jesus, including a journey on a luminous cloud with Mary, Salome, and others to find the body of Elisabeth. It also recounts the ascension of Jesus, Moses, and Elias from the Mount of Olives on a chariot of light, witnessed by the disciples and a crowd, with angels and divine voices present. The reappearance of Elias and Moses is linked to descriptions of chariots of fire and celestial vehicles.

UFO Sightings and Incidents

The issue includes several accounts of UFO sightings and incidents. One letter from Kazmer Ujvarosy describes a UFO show over Jerusalem's Mount of Olives as a potential prelude to Christ's second coming.

An editor's note addresses a report of a 'space-craft' crash in Bolivia on May 6, 1978. The object was described as cylindrical, traveling at 350 km/h, emitting blue smoke, and under intelligent control. The crash resulted in an intense light that blinded many and an explosion that broke windows for 70 kilometers.

Another letter discusses an incident in the China Sea on March 17, 1973, where a large object suddenly appeared and disappeared, speculated to be an inter-dimensional shuttle.

Technological Advancements and Theories

A photo sequence illustrates the first solar-powered manned flight by Larry Mauro in California, highlighting the potential of solar technology for future applications.

Letters to the Editor

Letters from Gary D. Krause and another anonymous contributor discuss the possibility of extraterrestrial planets within our solar system, referencing the distance of three billion miles mentioned in an article about 'The Plan.' Krause notes that three billion miles is within our solar system's boundaries, suggesting the potential for undiscovered planets or moons.
