Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the variety of UFO shapes, sizes, and colors reported, the unusual behaviors and movements of these objects, and the diverse physical and psychological effects experienced by witnesses. There is a consistent focus on detailed, firsthand accounts, suggesting an editorial stance that prioritizes collecting and disseminating such reports. The magazine appears to be a platform for documenting unexplained aerial phenomena and the human experiences associated with them, without offering definitive explanations but rather presenting the evidence as reported by individuals.

This issue of CONTACT magazine, dated August 1969, focuses on UFO sightings, unusual phenomena, and spiritual exploration. The content includes detailed accounts of alleged encounters, reports from various individuals, and a section dedicated to spiritual development.

FSIC Report: Golden UFO Sighting

The issue begins with a report from FSIC, a local UFO group, detailing a sighting of a "beautiful golden UFO" observed by authorities and airline pilots. The object was not detected by radar and was estimated to be approximately 2,000 feet long. It was seen passing over the Akron area and was lost at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at an altitude of 70,000 feet. More details were promised in a future FSIC newsletter, with readers encouraged to write to FSIC for more information, enclosing 50 cents for mailing and compilation. The sighting was reported to have occurred on January 23 of that year.

UFO Reports and TV Interference

The "SPECIAL REPORT" section details numerous scattered reports from July and the first two weeks of August 1969, primarily concerning TV interference in the West Hill Section, Ellet District, and other parts of North Hill and Medina, Ohio. The interference manifested as black and white sets displaying colors and glyphs, colored sets showing colors never seen before, and voices and sentences being heard that did not belong to the programs being watched. Some reports described the messages blaring out in unusual manners, with one instance of a male voice commenting, "It IS a lousy meal... isn't it?" to a person eating a TV dinner. Another report mentioned a voice asking, "What is all this doing to your radio and Tv equipment?" to which another voice replied, "It's tearing the hell out of channel 5." Many observers felt there was a two-way conversation occurring between someone on the ground and someone in the air, with one voice speaking in an unknown language.

Contactee Experiences and "Operation Lift Off"

The magazine urges readers to write to "WHITE STAR" for their latest releases concerning "Operation Lift Off," suggesting it might be wise to "bone up" on this materialization of things hinted at in past "space-man to earth-man communication." This section also touches upon "catacteeism" and the way people have come to think of contact.

UFO Encounter with a Faceless Woman

Several accounts describe encounters with a "faceless woman" characterized by long, chestnut-colored, almost black hair. One such encounter involved a woman from West Hill who, on a Friday morning, was visited by a beautifully built young woman with extraordinary hair but no discernible facial features. This visitor invited her to accompany her, and they left in a black car. The car was enveloped in a "greyish to black mist" to ensure secrecy. The woman attempted to follow their route by "feeling" and believed they traveled towards Arlington before entering a woods where a ship was waiting. She described boarding steps that materialized and dematerialized. The interior of the ship was softly lit. During the journey, they picked up a crippled boy from East Akron and a girl named Sandy, among others.

Another account details a similar experience where a woman reported being awakened by a brilliant flash and a blinding white light. She observed a woman with exceptional hair but no facial features. This woman entered her home and took her on a UFO ride. The narrative also mentions a little boy who was strongly impressed he was going on a UFO ride and prepared himself, only to fall asleep and wake up later at home.

Two weeks after this incident, another woman living in the Killian Rd section reported unusual phenomena, including balls of light in the sky and a green light. The area around Killian Rd has been a source of numerous UFO reports, many falling into the "unusual phenomena" category rather than classic UFO sightings.

Spiritual Supplement

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a "Spiritual Supplement." Many readers have written asking for a spiritual portion of CONTACT. This supplement aims to include exercises for expanding awareness, unity in power, projected thought, telepathy, and meditation. It emphasizes that this supplement will initially cost nothing, though future costs for postage and paper might be necessary. A request form is provided for readers to indicate their interests in meditation, healing, abundance, supply, communication, and expanding their own awareness. The magazine expresses a desire to meet readers' needs while acknowledging that everyone's needs are not alike.

The Master Speaks

This section features a dialogue between "The Master" and a youth. The Master discusses drugs, awakening, and the concept of "total ONENESS." He explains that while drugs may have hastened the youth's awakening and brought clarity, they also led to the dissolution of illusions and the revelation of true selves. The Master emphasizes that "LOVE is all that IS" and that to "omit one particle of Infinity in the selfs own growth" is the greatest sin. He encourages the youth to "LOVE life free" and to "LOVE all things into perfection," including loving the "SOURCE from which you came." The Master assures the youth that he will not be here when the task is finished, implying a spiritual completion.

UFO Report Form

The magazine includes a "UFO REPORT" form for readers to submit their sightings. It requests details such as name, address, description of the object, time seen, position in the sky, color, shape, noise, heat, wind, visible occupants, and any physical symptoms experienced by the observer. It also assures the reporter that their report will be kept in strict confidence.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, unexplained phenomena, and spiritual development. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging reader participation through reporting sightings and engaging with the spiritual content. There is a clear interest in exploring the intersection of UFO phenomena with consciousness, spirituality, and personal growth. The magazine presents a mix of anecdotal evidence and more philosophical or spiritual interpretations of these events.
