Cosmology Newslink - No 07

Magazine Overview

Title: COSMOLOGY NEWSLINK
Issue: 7
Date: December 1973
Publisher: E. Harris
Country: England
Theme: UFOs, Cosmology, Space Travel

Introduction

Cosmology Newslink defines cosmology as the science of the Universe as a whole, focusing on its structure and the system of creation. The title 'Cosmology Newslink' was formulated to connect inter-related subjects that might shed light on earth's mysteries. The title was partly suggested by Mr. Patrick Dineen of Co. Kerry, Ireland, with 'LINK' being added by the publication.

Main Content

The issue features a guest editorial titled "YOU AND ME" by Brinsley Le Poer Trench, who is also the International Chairman of CONTACT INTERNATIONAL group. Trench's editorial discusses the enigma of UFOs and the shift in ufological thought from extraterrestrial sources to invisible parallel universes. He highlights the views of prominent astronomers like Dr. Harlow Shapley, Sir Bernard Lovell, Professor Fred Hoyle, and Dr. Carl Sagan, who postulate the existence of inhabited planets in our galaxy and beyond. Trench also touches upon Fred Hoyle's hint of a 'galactic civilization' and the idea of a 'galactic directory'.

He addresses the argument against the Extraterrestrial (E.T.) theory concerning vast interstellar distances. Trench references the work of Ivan T. Sanderson, who clarified that Albert Einstein's statements about the speed of light did not mean it was impossible to travel faster, but rather that an object traveling at light speed would attain infinite mass. The article also mentions Professor John A. Wheeler's research, suggesting that reaching stars instantaneously might be possible through 'superspace', an area where time and space do not exist. Wheeler's concept of the universe's shape as a doughnut, with superspace as the hole, is discussed, aligning with Trench's own postulates about the universe's origin.

Another article, "MY HYPOTHESIS WHY UFOS DO NOT LAND PERMANENTLY ON EARTH" by Edward Harris, proposes that UFOs may not land permanently due to the specific atmospheric composition of Earth, particularly the presence of oxygen, which might not be suitable for all extraterrestrial entities without breathing apparatus.

The issue also includes a "U.F.O. FORUM" section with discussions on ufological topics, including a piece by Patricia Barnes (SLUFOSG) titled "CAN EVERYONE SEE UFOS?". This section presents several cases where individuals reported seeing UFOs, but their companions or other witnesses did not, suggesting potential psychic abilities or unique perceptual experiences.

• Specific cases detailed include:
• Miss C.A.M., a spiritualist, saw a disc-shaped UFO that rose vertically at great speed, but her companions did not.
• A housewife spotted a UFO pulsating and rising vertically, but her son could not see it.
• Mrs. Barbera Lewis reported multiple sightings of elliptical objects and golden orbs emitting colored rays in Cheltenham, Hereford, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, and near Woking Station. In some instances, numerous people were present but did not notice the phenomena.
• An Alcester housewife and her neighbors witnessed a terrifying glowing object in the sky.

Further content includes articles such as "SIGHTINGS, UFO at Fort Beaufort from D.V.J. Hattingh", "IS OUR SUN ABOUT TO EXPLODE? reports", "The Inner Meaning Behind the Flying Saucers.", "SEEDS FROM SPACE OR HOAX, The results of investigation.", and "WERE UFOS BROUGHT UP IN THE UNITED NATIONS?"

Contact Information and Subscriptions

The magazine provides contact details for correspondents and special consultants worldwide. Subscription rates are listed for England, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Germany. Edward Harris is listed as the Editor and Subscription Address.

Advertisements and Other Publications

Classified advertisements are offered for advertising in CNK, with rates for full page, half page, quarter page, blocks, and small adverts. Project El International, which aims to explore "all facets of the weird and the unknown," is promoted, with details on their journal 'ELYSIAN'.

Two other publications are featured: 'FORESIGHT MAGAZINE', a bi-monthly magazine on spiritual aspects, and the 'SOUTH LINCS STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER', which contains UFO news and reports.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature and origin of UFOs, exploring both extraterrestrial and parallel universe theories. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded stance, presenting various hypotheses and encouraging reader participation through its forum. There is a strong emphasis on scientific inquiry, referencing prominent scientists and their theories, while also acknowledging anecdotal evidence and potential psychic phenomena related to UFO sightings. The editorial stance seems to be one of exploration and open discussion of these complex topics.

This issue of CNK magazine, dated from an unknown publication date but featuring articles referencing 1972 and 1973, presents a blend of UFO reports, philosophical discussions on reincarnation, and alarming scientific news about the Sun. The magazine appears to be a publication focused on paranormal and speculative topics, with a particular interest in unidentified flying objects and their potential implications.

UFO Sightings and Investigations

The magazine features a significant report titled "SIGHTINGS" which details a series of UFO events in South Africa, primarily around Fort Beaufort, starting in June 1972. The report, compiled by B.A. Lawrie, a Post Office technician, chronicles events from June 26 to July 9, 1972. It begins with a Bantu labourer spotting a "ball of fire" in a bush, which then moved and changed colours. Mr. Smith, the farm owner, and later police officers, fired shots at the object. The object then transformed into a "black shining object about 3 m in diameter." Subsequent days saw multiple sightings by various individuals and groups, including the Mayor, councillors, policemen, and newspaper reporters. The report notes the discovery of "three sets of three imprints" in the clay, suggesting a tripod support for the object. The events attracted attention from the SABC and national newspapers. The reporter himself did not see the UFO but spoke to many involved and noted that the cement dam on Mr. Smith's farm blew up, with pieces found far away, suggesting a possible connection.

Another section, "OTHER SIGHTINGS," reports on "TOWN HAUNTED BY EXPLODING BLOBS" from the Evening News on May 18, 1973. This incident in Slough involved UFOs exploding in flame and black smoke without leaving remains. Scientific research stations in the area denied responsibility, and balloons were ruled out as the cause.

Philosophical Viewpoint on UFOs and Reincarnation

A prominent article, "PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWPOINT ON UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS," by F.O'Gardner, continues from previous issues. This piece delves into the nature of spirit and reincarnation. It posits that humans are spiritual beings who incarnate into physical bodies. The article discusses the concept of retaining knowledge from previous lives, referencing Dr. Karl E. Müller's book "Reincarnation-Based on Facts." It notes that while early Christian teachings included reincarnation, it was later suppressed. The author argues that our purpose in life is to gain experience, develop awareness of God, and evolve spiritually. The article also touches upon the question of human existence, suggesting we come from spirit and God, and that life is a "proving ground."

Another section, "JANET BUSSELL ASKS," poses questions about caring for the environment and suggests writing to The Pete Duel Ecology Committee for details. This section appears to be a reader interaction or advice column.

Scientific Concerns: The Sun's Instability

The cover story, "Is our SUN about to EXPLODE?" reports on alarming scientific findings. It states that astronomers have concluded the cosmos is not changeless and serene, with "Something weird" happening to star systems like Cygnus X-3. More concerningly, new studies indicate the Sun is exhibiting signs of instability. An unprecedented solar storm on August 7, 1972, released more energy in one hour than the U.S. could consume in 100 million years. The solar wind from this storm heated particles to 2 million degrees Fahrenheit and significantly increased interplanetary magnetic fields. Eyewitnesses during periods of low solar activity reported the sun had "moved." The article quotes from SAGA magazine (May 1973) and a report from Pasadena dated April 6, 1972, about "thunder on the sun" – giant waves emanating from sunspots. The implications of such solar activity are described as potentially catastrophic.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the unexplained phenomena of UFOs, the spiritual concept of reincarnation, and the potential dangers posed by celestial events, specifically the Sun's instability. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting evidence and encouraging readers to think critically and form their own conclusions. The magazine seems to advocate for a broader understanding of existence that encompasses spiritual and potentially extraterrestrial dimensions, alongside scientific observations. There is an emphasis on personal responsibility in understanding and navigating these complex issues.

This issue of UFO CONTACT, Volume 1, No. 1, dated February 1973, delves into the intriguing mystery of 'seeds from space' and their potential for longevity, alongside broader themes of space exploration, economy, and potential interplanetary conflict.

Seeds From Space or Hoax?

The central article explores the story of longevity seeds allegedly given to an old man by small extraterrestrial beings. The account, originating from a letter by Lucius Liotto of Seattle, Washington, describes a dramatic encounter where the aliens, claiming to be from a planet in the same orbit as Earth but on the opposite side, offered seeds from a plant that could prolong life by 1000-1200 years. The old man, initially scared, refused to go with them but was offered seeds. He later gave some to Liotto.

Liotto, initially skeptical, sowed the seeds, and a peculiar, vigorous plant with small yellow flowers grew, dominating his garden. A police officer from the drug department confirmed it was not an illegal plant, but its identity remained unknown.

The magazine then presents a story from its co-worker in Austria, who received seeds in 1971 and grew them. These plants measured between 1.52 and 1.72 meters, bore single yellow flowers, and did not smell. The Austrian correspondent noted her seeds were larger than Liotto's and that the plants did not grow as well indoors.

Further contributions include an account from Monka Swanson in Canada, who also received seeds and grew large plants. She observed that the plants died after producing seeds, typical of annual plants. She sent some seeds to the magazine for others to try.

Mrs. Betty Jones of Kalispell, Montana, also grew the seeds, describing her plant as 6.5 to 7 feet tall with a reddish stem and light green new stems. She provided detailed drawings of the plant and its leaves.

The article notes that the seeds and plant have not been identified by experts, with some suggesting it might be a 'Miniture Mexican Sunflower'. The magazine appeals to readers to help identify the plant.

The Space Economy Program and Interplanetary Conflict

Reprinted from the International Get Acquainted Program's, an article by George Adamski discusses the connection between Adamski's IGAP group and the United Nations. Adamski proposes a 'Space Economy Program' aimed at achieving world peace and prosperity by shifting focus from war economy to space exploration and production. He argues that the ability to produce more than consume leads to economic depression and that a common enemy or the threat of mass destruction can unite nations.

Adamski suggests that the production of outer space craft could provide employment and serve as a defense against potential attack from other planets. He believes that UFO craft have challenged human intelligence and that space travel and research should be a global priority.

The United Nations and UFOs

Another section, titled 'IN THE UNITED NATIONS?', discusses space exploration coupled with space craft production for defense. It posits that past civilizations destroyed themselves when faced with similar problems, but modern humans are educated. The 'Space Economy Program' can be launched by popular demand, urging people to write to their representatives and the United Nations Economic and Social Committee.

A newsflash reports Councillor John Moore observing strange UFOs in formation in Harlow, Essex, England, with many witnesses.

Interplanetary Conflict

An article from the Los Angeles Herald Express (October 8th, 1955) quotes General Douglas MacArthur predicting future wars would be interplanetary rather than between nations. MacArthur believed that Earth's nations would need to unite against an attack from other planets. He also suggested that shifting aircraft and instrument plants to outer space craft production could assure global employment and prevent economic decline.

The article notes that while UFO operators have shown no hostility, there are rumors of hostile systems and ships moving through space, posing a threat that current defenses cannot counter. It calls for global unity for defense, emphasizing that atomic weapons would be insufficient against such a threat.

Skepticism and Official Policy

The late Frank Edwards of the USA is cited stating that the USAF adopted a policy of denying flying saucers because they are 'SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT COPE WITH'. The article questions the UN's stance on UFOs, with U Thant reportedly considering the UFO case second only in importance to the Vietnam War. It calls for the UN to study contactee cases and prepare nations for potential contact with extraterrestrial beings.

A letter from A.H. Abdel-Ghani, Chief of the Outer Space Affairs Group, states that the UN is not investigating UFO phenomena as no country has raised the issue. The magazine reiterates its plea for the UN to act, emphasizing that only one nation needs to initiate the process.

Contact Section: Spokesman for the UFO's

This section begins with a question about whether spacemen have sent ignored messages and if Saucer Intelligences control our lives. It introduces Ted Owens, presented as a man selected to 'relay' warnings and predictions.

A letter to President Lyndon Johnson is mentioned, suggesting a plot at a residence in Florida to strike at night. The Miami Herald is cited as shattering claims of spies in U.N. diplomats' activities.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the potential for extraterrestrial contact, the mystery of unidentified flying objects, and the implications for humanity's future. There's a strong undercurrent of advocating for global cooperation, particularly through space exploration, as a means to achieve peace and economic stability, and to prepare for potential external threats. The magazine appears to be a platform for sharing accounts of UFO sightings and encounters, while also exploring more speculative ideas about space programs and interplanetary relations. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, encouraging reader participation and urging official bodies like the UN to take a more active role in investigating UFOs.

This issue of SAGA Magazine, dated August 1970, titled "Do the SIs really exist?", delves into the extraordinary claims and documented predictions of Ted Owens, a man who identifies himself as a "PK Man" and claims to be a conduit for "Space Intelligences" (SIs).

Ted Owens: The PK Man and His Predictions

The magazine presents Ted Owens as an individual with an "indisputable testimony" of his ability to predict paranormal phenomena and future events. His past record includes over 200 documented predictions. A key aspect of his claims is his role as a "go between" for the SIs.

Weather Manipulation

Owens's alleged ability to influence weather is highlighted with several examples. In June 1967, he reportedly notified the U.S. Hurricane Centre that the SIs would produce three simultaneous hurricanes, an event that had only occurred four times since 1886. In September 1967, three hurricanes—Beulah, Chloe, and Doris—were active in the same week, an occurrence the Weather Bureau admitted was "unprecedented in modern times." Furthermore, in March 1966, Owens wrote to President Lyndon B. Johnson predicting the end of a severe drought on the East Coast, which was subsequently confirmed by the States Weather Bureau in July 1967, noting abnormal rains.

Political and Security Predictions

Owens also claimed to have made predictions related to political security. A letter dated July 30, 1969, sent to President Richard M. Nixon, warned of a planned kidnapping plot targeting the President at his Key Biscayne, Florida home, involving Cubans with a commando group. This prediction gained attention in light of a Miami Herald headline on August 24, 1969, about a "SPY PLOT" and "U.S.-CUBA TIES," which mentioned a "James Bond touch" to recruit spies for a mission related to Presidential security, including studying Nixon's movements.

More tragically, a letter from Ted Owens in March 1968 relayed a warning from the SIs about the "destruction of one or more highly-placed US Government Officials—by assassination." Within 12 weeks of this warning, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated.

Other Documented Events

Owens's predictive abilities were also linked to other significant events. On October 26, 1965, he sent an alarming telegram to George Clark at the CIA, warning of a "terrible catastrophe within 10 days." This was followed by the "Big Blackout" on November 9, 1965, which plunged 30 million people in seven northeastern states and parts of Canada into darkness. During the Apollo 12 countdown on November 14, 1969, Owens predicted lightning would strike the spacecraft or pad. Shortly after liftoff, the control crew at Cape Kennedy noted a sudden drop-off in telemetered data, and astronaut Charles Conrad reported lights going out within the spacecraft, questioning if they had been hit by lightning.

Ted Owens's Background and Claims

Ted Owens is described as a tall, broad-shouldered man of 50 with an IQ of 150. He claims to be the only human capable of communicating "TWO WAYS" with the SIs. He states that his PK powers come from the SIs. His claims began in 1965 while driving when he encountered a cigar-shaped UFO with red, white, blue, and green lights. This experience, he says, radically changed his life. He also mentions working with Professor J.B. Rhine at Duke University in ESP experiments, where he reportedly demonstrated his PK powers by making scissors fly across a room.

Owens has held numerous professions, including lecturer, jazz drummer, magician, hypnotist, bodyguard, boxer, private investigator, office manager, fortune teller, and rainmaker. Despite lacking formal academic credentials, his IQ is noted as being in the genius range.

Contact Section: Extraterrestrial Communication Theories

The magazine also explores other avenues of potential extraterrestrial contact.

The Epsilon Bootis Probe Theory

Duncan Lunan, a young Scottish graduate, is presented as having a theory about an unmanned spacecraft circling the moon, sent by beings from the star Epsilon Bootis 13,000 years ago. Lunan's hypothesis is based on analyzing radio signals from the 1920s. He plotted the echo intervals and found they formed a recognizable stellar constellation, Bootes, suggesting a return signal from a space probe. He believes that intelligent life from Epsilon Bootis may now be extinct. The British Interplanetary Society is reportedly planning a scientific experiment to re-establish contact with this probe.

The Argentine UFO Incident

Carlos Corosan, a farmer from Deseade, Argentina, is presented as a witness to a significant UFO event on March 18, 1966. He described a cigar-shaped craft, 65 to 70 feet long, hovering over the Gulf of San Jorge. The object emitted grey smoke, hummed, vibrated, and then exploded before sinking into the water. Similar objects had been reported in other Argentine cities prior to this incident. The Argentine Government has neither confirmed nor denied Corosan's account, though an anonymous official reportedly released information because they felt the "truth" should be known. The incident occurred near where Argentine Navy ships were allegedly anchored.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the existence and potential communication with extraterrestrial intelligences (SIs), the nature of psychic abilities like psychokinesis, and the predictive power of individuals who claim to channel such intelligences. The magazine appears to present these claims with a degree of seriousness, highlighting documented predictions and witness testimonies, while also acknowledging skepticism from the scientific community. The editorial stance seems to lean towards exploring these phenomena as potentially real, urging readers to consider the evidence presented by individuals like Ted Owens and Duncan Lunan.

Title: CNK
Issue: Special 1972
Date: 1972
Publisher: Gambi Publications Inc.
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of CNK Special 1972, titled 'THE CASE OF THE CRIPPLED UFO', delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena and alleged extraterrestrial encounters.

The Case of the Crippled UFO

The lead article, 'THE CASE OF THE CRIPPLED UFO' by B. Ann Slate, recounts a significant UFO sighting. Nuclear Physicist Stanton Friedman was involved in analyzing the details of a sighting by an eyewitness named Wheeler. Wheeler reported seeing a strange craft in 1954 that he believed was not of this world. He later observed two more such craft. The article details one incident from February 1954, where Wheeler, an engineer, encountered a large, dull grey object, described as somewhat like titanium, sitting half on a mountain road and half in an indentation. The object was approximately 25 feet across. Wheeler also noted a hatch on the side of the craft with dark symbols. The craft then began to move with an oscillating motion, raising slightly and disturbing gravel.

International Sightings

The magazine presents a sighting from Spain where an entire town viewed a saucer-shaped object with an elaborate 'H' symbol. Described as two saucers face to face, it covered a significant portion of the highway. Another incident involves Police Officer L. Zamora of Socorro, New Mexico, who drew a sketch of a symbol seen on an oval-shaped flying saucer in 1964. The craft was smooth, without protrusions, and made a funny oscillating movement before ascending.

Aliens on Earth Section: Snippy the Headless Horse

This section explores the persistent rumor of extraterrestrials on Earth. It details the story of 'Snippy', a horse whose carcass was found on September 8th, 1967, near Alamosa, Colorado. Forestry Ranger Duane Martin noted increased radiation and flattened bushes in the area. The horse's flesh was cut sharply away at the neck, and vultures had not touched the body. The article questions whether creatures from another world were responsible and speculates on the purpose of taking only the head. Mrs. Berle Lewis, the owner, and Mrs. Leona Wellington, a schoolteacher, are mentioned in relation to the incident. The issue suggests the extraterrestrial story might be the true one, despite other theories like 'fallen angels'.

Livestock Slaughter and Alien Encounters

The 'Aliens on Earth' section further discusses theories that extraterrestrials may use livestock for supply. It references a story from Idaho where a farmer, Lonnie Duggan, encountered a small, fur-covered creature drawing blood from his horse into a large syringe. The creature, speaking in a mechanical voice, claimed to be from a planet in the Tau Ceti system and stated they were collecting specimens of Earth's life process. The creature mentioned that its people had visited Earth for over 100 years and intended to share knowledge when humanity learned to live in peace.

Lonnie Duggan was later subjected to lie detector tests and interrogated by Air Force personnel, but a 'topmost physicist' reportedly believed his story. The skeleton of Snippy has been mounted and is on display in Alamosa, Colorado, as a tourist attraction.

Find the M.I.B (Men in Black)

Beryl Wallace recounts an encounter on a train in London in January 1972. She believes she may have met a 'Man in Black' who asked her the time and reacted with laughter and annoyance when she thought about UFO research, suggesting he could read her mind. Wallace concludes that perhaps 'Men in Black' are not as terrible as perceived, as this individual could laugh.

In a separate entry dated October 5th, 1973, Beryl Wallace announces she is leaving UFO research. She explains that while research is valuable, it can become a trap, leading researchers to neglect other aspects of life and become overly focused on UFOs. She encourages others to take breaks and maintain a sense of humor.

UFO-POWER and Propulsion

This section explores how UFOs might work, looking at anti-gravity systems, both man-made and extraterrestrial. It mentions Dr. Paul S. Moller, Chair of Aerodynamics at California University, and his second prototype saucer, US-2, which is powered by an 8-cylinder radial engine and seats two. It is 8 feet in diameter and weighs 450 lbs.

The issue also includes a continuation of Mr. Wheeler's story, describing the complex inner workings of a UFO he observed. He saw a glowing center of electric blue, with what appeared to be a compound winding of a large electric motor made of orange tubing. He described seeing through the shell of the craft as if it were transparent, with a sulphur yellow color tinged with red.

Additionally, it references plans by a Cologne inventor, Kurt Giessel, for man-made saucers that would fly by remote control without a pilot and take off vertically.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation and technology. It presents various eyewitness accounts, scientific speculation, and anecdotal evidence. The editorial stance appears to be open to the 'Outerspace hypothesis' for unexplained phenomena, particularly when conventional explanations are lacking. There is an emphasis on presenting diverse cases, from alleged alien encounters and livestock mutilations to the potential for man-made advanced craft. The issue also touches upon the psychological aspects of UFO research, advocating for a balanced approach and a sense of humor, as expressed by Beryl Wallace.

This issue of THE GREATER WORLD, dated June 30th, 1973, delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena, with a strong focus on UFOs, anti-gravity technology, and mysterious disappearances. The cover boldly proclaims "ANTI-GRAVITY EXISTS NOW! BY MAN!" alongside an illustration of a flying saucer, suggesting a theme of human-made advanced technology.

Anti-Gravity and Human-Made Flying Saucers

The issue begins by discussing the possibility of anti-gravity systems, attributing the solution to the most difficult problem of keeping a disk floating in the air to an individual named Kurt Giessel. Giessel is described as being silent about technical details until patents are applied for, with the potential to cash in enormous sums of money. Test flights of a model are reported to have been successful, and plans are underway to launch a larger flying object with four people aboard that summer, aiming to compete with 'saucers' from distant worlds. The article references a report by E. Fredrick Schrafft in Ray Palmer's Flying Saucers (March 1971) that states anti-gravity systems exist and universities have succeeded in cracking the gravity barrier. The first concept of a man-made disk is identified as the USAFS Flying Flapjack no. 02878 V-173, around 1947. It is suggested that if governments have developed such craft, their official denial of sightings would be the only plausible response, while still acknowledging the possibility of occasional extraterrestrial craft.

A separate section highlights a "5-Pound Atomic Power Plant," described as a lightweight atomic device less than six inches in any dimension that can produce electricity without moving parts and operate for long periods under extreme temperatures.

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery

The article "INSIDE THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE" addresses the persistent mystery of disappearances of aircraft, ships, and people in this region. Dr. Jonathan Wright, a physician at NASA, is quoted as stating that UFOs are using an isolated island in the Bahamas as a control point for US space flights and for collecting 'samples' of Earth people. He claims there is every indication that flying saucers have caused over 120 ships and planes to disappear within the Bermuda Triangle. Dr. Wright reportedly presented this information at a press meeting in Nassau after a three-month expedition to the outer islands of the Bahamas. He claims to have proof that UFOs are regularly landing on a tiny island about 85 kilometers from Grand Cayman. Dr. Wright discloses that he heads a UFO program under NASA and participated in a UFO investigation at Colorado University in 1969. The article also mentions a NASA group sent to the Bahamas around Christmas 1970 after two ships and a plane disappeared. During their investigation, Dr. Wright's group observed three luminous objects descending towards Earth, which reappeared later and disappeared at night. They approached the objects and observed them landing again, describing them as having two small windows and being shaped like tuna tins.

Dr. Wright is quoted as saying, "We could see two small windows in the black objects. The UFOs were shaped like tins for tuna, and they were completely silent." His group went ashore and approached the machines, but he is reluctant to reveal what they saw, hoping the full report will be published. He states that when they got close, the objects departed at incredible speed towards Bermuda. Dr. Wright believes there is a connection between mysterious radio signals heard at Cape Kennedy and the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. NASA reportedly provides little information about these signals. The article notes the recurring pattern of disappearances in December and suggests that 'beings' have been studying Earth from the Bahamas and may continue to snatch ships and planes. Dr. Wright's theory is that a large mother ship, hundreds of kilometers above the triangle, is observing everything, and that it snatches ships and planes. He concludes by stating he will never return to the small island in a minor ship or fly through the Bermuda Triangle.

Beyond Physical Sight and Spiritualism

Fred Sculthorp contributes an article titled "Beyond Physical Sight." He recounts a conversation with a welder about the nature of burning steel and the disappearance of matter into the air. The article then delves into scientific research suggesting that matter is not solid but composed of particles that are concentrations of energy, and that matter and energy are interchangeable. Principles of wave-mechanics are mentioned, indicating that sub-atomic particles behave like trains of electromagnetic waves. Sculthorp also shares his experience meeting Mrs. Helen Spiers, a medium at the Marylebone Spiritualists' Association, who accurately described his wife and relatives. He discusses astral projection, stating that his spirit body is composed of sub-atomic particles and is unseen to physical eyes. He posits that all space is saturated with free sub-atomic particles, and that spiritual things are constructed by thought, attracting these negative particles. He references the biblical story of loaves and fishes as an example of "The Father in Me" bringing together substance through thought.

UFOs and Alien Encounters

The issue includes a news item from THE SUN (October 17th, 1973) about scientists confirming that women who claimed to have been dragged into a UFO had suffered a "very terrifying experience." The report details the experience of anglers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, who were fishing on the Pascagoula River, Mississippi, when they encountered a strange object surrounded by a hazy light. They described three creatures with crab-like hands and wrinkled skin who dragged them into the craft and then released them. The men were questioned under hypnosis by scientists, with Dr. Allen Hyrek, chairman of North Western University's astronomy department, stating that their emotions and terror were impossible to fake. Sheriff Fred Diamond of Pascagoula reported that 12 other local people had also seen the UFO. The article also mentions a similar incident in Louisiana where a sheriff's deputy claimed his car was attacked by an "orange-reddish flying object."

UFO Propulsions and Other Mysteries

Under the heading "TWS FLASHES OCTOBER 1973," the magazine previews upcoming topics, including UFO propulsion, the mystery of the disappearing people, and Bermuda Triangle sightings. It also mentions a translation of "the story of the Ful and the little man" and promises more on these subjects in future issues.

Fossils from Space?

This section discusses metal pellets discovered at the Brookville landing site, which were analyzed and found to be made of titanium, a metal used in high-speed aircraft. It also mentions a story about the remains of an alien spacecraft with its crew and operators fossilized and intact, with two types of creatures described: 4 humanoids and 3 apelike beings. The origin of these beings and the reason for their crash remain a mystery. The objects seen on page 11 were sent to NICUFO USA by Ignacio Darnaude of Seville, Spain, and reportedly fell onto different parts of Spain in December 1969.

Advertising and Publications

The magazine includes advertisements for "UFO contact" magazine from Denmark, described as a professional presentation and one of the most important small UFO magazines in the world. It also advertises several books compiled or edited by Gene Duplantier: "Outer Space Humour," "Hidden Planets," and "Subterranean Worlds of Planet Earth." Another advertisement is for "SPACEDUST," a collection of UFO space stories.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the existence and potential development of advanced anti-gravity technology, the persistent mystery of UFO sightings and alien encounters, and the unexplained disappearances associated with the Bermuda Triangle. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting various reports, theories, and eyewitness accounts without definitive conclusions, but with a clear interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial or advanced human-made craft. The inclusion of spiritualism and the nature of matter suggests a broader exploration of the unknown and the limits of current scientific understanding.
