Magazine Overview

Title: COSMOLOGY NEWSLINK
Issue: Number 25
Date: June & July 1979
Type: International Magazine, Zeitschrift, Tidskrift

This issue of COSMOLOGY NEWSLINK marks its final publication, announced by Editor Edward Harris due to severe financial difficulties. The magazine, funded personally by the editor, could not sustain itself on the limited subscriptions. Harris expresses hope that this double issue, prepared with extra care due to its lateness, will be free of mistakes.

Editorial

Edward Harris, the editor, explains that this is the last issue of COSMOLOGY NEWSLINK because his personal funding has run out, and subscriptions were insufficient to cover even postage. He mentions that 'Gak' may be restored and that 'CNK' ceased publication as planned in December. Harris has been on a training course to improve his English and Maths, hoping it shows in this issue. He apologizes for spelling and typing errors in previous publications, including his mini-encyclopedia 'OUR WEIRD UNIVERSE'. He states that Cosmology is a serious subject and this issue aims to cover more than just UFO sightings and data. Any future content not in CNK will be in the second volume of 'OUR WEIRD UNIVERSE.' He thanks readers for their support.

UFO Scares Girl

This article details the experience of Caroline Muncey, a 15-year-old girl from Wellingborough, who, along with her friend Mandy Dooley, reported seeing bright lights in the sky on Saturday evening, October 10, 1978. They believed they were being chased by a UFO. Caroline described the object as delta-shaped with two huge white searchlights and a green light behind. It made a whining noise and hovered before zooming off. Mr. Les Stainer, whose door Caroline knocked on for help, described it as looking like an old wartime bomber. An Ic-hester man, Martin Batley, also reported seeing a similar object. Taxi driver Victor Angers also claimed to have seen a silent, hovering object. The article notes this is the second UFO sighting near Skew Bridge Ski Club in less than two years. Members of Corby's Kingswood Community Association football team also reported seeing a large, silent object with flashing lights. A spokesman for Sibson Airfield dismissed UFO sightings as likely shooting stars or cranks.

Letters to the Editor

• D.B. Saddington (Rushden): Confirms a UFO sighting on October 7, 1978, stating it was not a conventional craft and was sighted by responsible people.
• F.W.T. Ward (Irthlingborough): Describes seeing a flying object that looked like any other flying machine, with lights and a flashing red light, but unusually quiet.

Anti-Gravity Research

Editor Edward Harris discusses the ongoing challenge of understanding and defying gravity. He notes that while gravity is a mystery, hundreds of private researchers are working on it, but funding is a major obstacle due to governments' short-sightedness.

He lists several individuals involved in anti-gravity research: Professor Eric Laithwaite, Edwin Rickman, Edward Harris himself, John Saarl, Rolf Schaffranke, Professor Shinichi Seiki, Thomas Townsend Brown, and Leonard G. Cramp.

Harris explores the nature of gravity, referencing Newton and Einstein, and proposes his own theories. He suggests gravity might be related to velocity changes due to impact or the electromagnetic attraction of atomic particles. He also considers the possibility of a hollow Earth with a central sun.

He recounts his own experiments with gyroscopes, inspired by a 'Tomorrow's World' device and Professor Laithwaite's work, aiming to create an anti-gravity effect. He describes a device using revolving gyros on a disc, which lost weight when spun, but the torque was too great. He also mentions the 'Dean Drive' which reportedly did not work.

Harris concludes that mechanical devices have played their part, but new approaches are needed, possibly involving 'Flying Saucers' and their silent propulsion methods.

Other Articles and Features

• Origin of Man: The editor explores theories on human origins, suggesting biological accidents and metamorphosis as potential drivers of evolution, possibly linked to DNA malfunctions or solar flares. He contrasts this with religious beliefs and mentions the possibility of humans originating from elsewhere.
• How Did Monkeys Learn to Wash Sweet Potatoes?: This section, referencing Lyall Watson's book 'LIFETIDE', discusses how a learned behavior (washing sweet potatoes) spread rapidly through a monkey population and then to other islands, suggesting a form of collective consciousness or telepathy.
• Hypnosis and Genetic Disease: An account of a 16-year-old boy with Brocq's disease, a genetic condition, being cured by hypnosis, highlighting the potential of the mind to influence biological processes.
• Advertisements: Notices for 'MAGIC SAUCER' (a magazine about UFOs for children), 'FORESIGHT' (a magazine of love and awareness), and 'EARTHLINK UFO sightings'.

There is a strong emphasis on private research and the difficulties faced by independent investigators due to a lack of funding and official support. The magazine also touches upon the potential for the mind to influence physical reality and the possibility of extraterrestrial origins for humanity.

Title: CNK
Issue Date: July 1979
Volume: No. 1
Publisher: CNK
Country: UK
Language: English

This issue of CNK magazine, dated July 1979, delves into various aspects of ufology, anti-gravity research, and unexplained phenomena. The publication appears to be a niche magazine catering to enthusiasts of these subjects.

Anti-Gravity and Electrogravitation Research

The lead article discusses the potential of anti-gravity research, drawing parallels with the American Space Programme. It highlights early work by Professor Biefeld and T. Townsend Brown in the 1920s, which led to the development of electrogravitation. The Biefeld-Brown effect is described as an electrogravitational analogue to electromagnetic phenomena. The article notes that after 28 years of research by Brown, advancements have been made, suggesting that for every electromagnetic phenomenon, there is an electrogravitational analogue. Experiments showed that a charged condenser in free suspension moved towards the positive electrode. The magazine also references a German UFO newspaper, 'UFO NACHRICHTEN,' which featured an article and sketch by Professor Shinichi Seiki of Japan, who was reportedly close to completing an anti-gravity device. The editor strongly recommends books on gravity research, suggesting they aid understanding and fund private researchers. The potential of this technology to solve the energy crisis and make Concorde obsolete is mentioned.

A technical diagram illustrates a 'flying condensor' with components like Perspex plastic, aluminium disc, negative and positive electrodes, air spaces, and charged airflow, indicating the direction of flight.

The issue also features a review of the book "ETHER TECHNOLOGY: A rational approach to gravity - Control" by RHO SIGMA, described as a 108-page book with diagrams, inventions, and photographs of anti-gravity devices and gravity control. It covers topics like the American scene, electric bind in a hard vacuum, European research with John Searl's saucer, ether vortex turbines, and the neutralization of gravitational force.

The Philadelphia Experiment

An advertisement for Charles Berlitz's book, "THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT - PROJECT INVISIBILITY," poses the question of whether a scientific experiment could render a ship invisible and cause it to reappear hundreds of miles away within minutes. The book is described as the story of a U.S. Navy destroyer rendered invisible using Einstein's Unified Field Theory as ultimate camouflage.

Who's Who in UFOLOGY

The magazine continues its series profiling individuals involved in ufology. Featured are:

• Kenneth Horsnell: Credited with being instrumental in the magazine's existence, having a keen interest in rockets and UFOs.
• Karl L. Veit: Director of DUIST, pictured at a convention in Germany in 1975. He is described as having a specialized group with members worldwide and a focus on UFO NEWS, dealing with landings and other UFO phenomena. He is noted as being 70 years old and having conducted paranormal research for years.
• Elisabeth Klarer: Writer of "BEYOND THE LIGHT BARRIER."
• John Brent Musgrave: An astronomer interested in UFOs and humanoids, who has researched cases where creatures have emerged from unknown craft. He has received a grant from the Canadian government for this research and has produced a book on outerspace creatures.
• Mike Parry, N. Cockburn, Roy Lake: Pictured at a symposium in 1970.
• Lorenzo Massai: Editor of the Italian magazine 'NUOVE REALTA' ('Reality News'), born in Prato, Italy, in 1957. He began studying ufology in 1971 and collaborates with C.U.N. (Centro Ufologico Nazionale), identifying his activity as a geometer.
• Bob Bloomfield: Produces a photocopied sheet called 'UFO REVIEW' with UFO reports. He was an early member of I.S.T.R. UK.
• Carol Halford Watkins: Involved in the subject for a long time, she published a metaphysical magazine called TOPSIDE. She visited England and Hong Kong and was seen with Father Manuclo in China in 1978.
• Dr. Frank E. Stranges: Director of NICUFO (USA), who brought documented 16mm film of UFOs in flight and a landing to an ISTR UFO convention.
• Michael Perry: Sighted a bright object in the sky above Dunmow, Essex, in 1974.

UFO Sightings and Incidents

Several UFO sightings and related incidents are reported:

• January 20th, 1979: A light with a curvey shape and a spike on top was seen on the way home to Thaxsted.
• March 1979: An investigation began into a mysterious "space ball" found on a farm at Eiffelton, South Africa. The 16.25cm object resembled four space balls found in mid-Canterbury in April 1972, which were believed to be from a disintegrating Russian spacecraft (Cosmos 428), a claim denied by Soviet authorities. The latest ball had nine holes burnt in it and showed signs of intense heat, possibly made of Titanium.
• Malaysia: A report of tiny beings from UFOs, with an incident where a Standard Three pupil, Khor Boon Chew, was reportedly "shot" in the palm by one of about four aliens that landed at Jit Sin Primary School. Other witnesses corroborated the story. A senior English teacher, Mr. R. Veerasamy, suggested the story could be true, recalling a similar sighting of three-inch-tall aliens eight years prior.
• Unknown Date (Malaysia): A newspaper clipping describes a sighting of tiny beings, possibly from UFOs, visited a woman in her home.
• Unknown Date (UK): A UFO was seen hovering over power lines some years ago.

Pyramids and Ancient Mysteries

An article titled "WHAT IS THE MYSTERY FORCE FOUND IN THE PYRAMIDS" explores the enigma of the pyramids. It questions whether they were built by human slave labor or a super race from outer space with advanced technology. The article references a BBC television program suggesting that rocks used in pyramids were easily split, implying advanced technology. It also notes that pyramids worldwide share a similar design with a slit pointing to the pole star, raising questions about who copied whom and how knowledge was transferred. The role of the Great Pyramid is discussed, with scientists noting unusual phenomena associated with it, such as a ringing sound and a distinct prickling sensation experienced by Alexander Siemens when raising his hands.

Note: The final page indicates that this is the last issue of CNK as a news magazine, promising a surprise for subscribers in the new year.

Cosmology Newslink Magazine, published by Edward Harris, delves into unexplained phenomena, UFO sightings, and ancient mysteries. This issue, though lacking specific volume or issue numbers, features a prominent cover story on "Russia's secret weapon" alongside articles on "Pyramid Power" and a detailed account of a UFO abduction.

Pyramid Power Experiments

The magazine begins by recounting an early experiment by Siemens, who, using a wine bottle and paper, created a Leyden jar to accumulate electrical energy. He demonstrated its power by shocking an Arab guide, who accused him of witchcraft. Siemens concluded that the pyramid itself was discharging a powerful electromagnetic current.

A more recent experiment conducted at the Great Pyramid's sister structure, Chepren, by a group of scientists from Ein Shams University in 1968, aimed to measure cosmic rays passing through the pyramid. The goal was to detect undiscovered chambers by observing uniform cosmic ray readings. However, after a year of recording, the analysis by an IBM 1130 computer revealed chaotic and non-uniform readings, leading Dr. Amr Gohed, the experiment's director, to declare it "scientifically impossible" and attribute it to a force defying scientific laws.

Further experiments concerning "pyramid power" are attributed to a Frenchman named M. Bovis. He ventured into the Great Pyramid's King's Chamber and discovered a mummified cat, which had not decayed despite the chamber's humidity. Bovis later constructed a scale model of the Great Pyramid and placed dead animals inside, finding that their bodies did not putrefy and slowly dried out. It was also noted that razor blades placed inside the model became sharpened after 14 days.
The article mentions that in the U.S.A., Canada, and other parts of the world, pyramids are being used by occultists as "Feedback-Mystic Pyramids" for manifesting wishes.

Russia's Secret Weapon

An article titled "Russia's secret weapon" by Bruce Sandham, with a credit to Bob Bloomfield and a picture of a modern airship prototype, suggests that some UFO sightings at high altitudes could be advanced Russian airships. The piece describes a Danish frigate witnessing three large Soviet airships transferring supplies and catches of fish from trawlers. It claims Russia is assembling the world's biggest-ever airship fleet, with over 50 airships already in operation and dozens more under construction outside Moscow. The Soviets are said to have been developing these airships behind a massive security screen for over a decade, believing in their future potential.

3 Women Abducted UFO

A significant case history details an incident on October 19, 1976, involving three Kentucky women: Elaine Thomas, Louise Smith, and Mona Stafford. While driving, they reported seeing a large, disc-shaped object that swooped down towards them. They experienced an "awesome force" taking control of their car, which then hurtled at 85 miles per hour. This was followed by an unexplained 80-minute "blank" in their memories.

Upon regaining consciousness, they found themselves driving into Hustonville, eight miles from where they had seen the UFO. They realized an hour and twenty minutes were missing from their journey. The women discovered strange red marks on their necks, described as "fresh burns" that had not blistered. These marks vanished two days later.

Investigated by Sheriff Bill Norris and examined by UFO expert Len Stringfield and Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, a veteran hypnotist and associate professor of psychology, the case was deemed highly convincing. Dr. Sprinkle stated that it was very difficult for people to lie under hypnosis, and the consistency of the three women's accounts across separate sessions made deception highly improbable. The women described being taken to a strange chamber, held prisoner, and subjected to frightening and painful examinations, including having their eyes jerked and their stomachs feeling like they were being blown up.

Lie detector tests were administered by Detective James Young, who concluded that the women genuinely believed they had experienced an encounter. The "loss-of-time" experience was noted to be similar to other reported UFO abduction cases.

Other People's Magazines: CNK Takes a Look at FORESIGHT

This section reviews "FORESIGHT," a magazine that began in 1970 with a focus on UFOs and later expanded to include psychic phenomena and global issues. The review highlights the magazine's aim to promote spiritual awareness, peace, and individual responsibility. It criticizes apathy towards global problems and emphasizes that individuals have the power to effect change. The reviewer notes that FORESIGHT endeavors to speak out against inhuman acts and considers the world as an "individual responsibility."

Advertisements and Editorial Notes

An advertisement promotes a book titled 'My Truth,' dictated by Jesus Christ, available for £2.50 from The Essene Light Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Another advert seeks contact for lonely individuals and asks for help in moving the magazine's message forward. The editorial notes state that Cosmology Newslink Magazine is printed and published by Edward Harris in Dunwow, Essex, England, and requests that letters requiring a reply include a stamped, self-addressed envelope or International Reply Coupons.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the unexplained phenomena associated with ancient structures like the pyramids, the potential for advanced but hidden technology (as suggested by the Russian airship story), and the recurring motif of UFO abductions and examinations. The magazine appears to adopt a stance that is open to exploring unconventional explanations for observed events, often citing scientific experiments that yield inexplicable results or witness testimonies that defy easy rationalization. There is a clear interest in promoting awareness of these phenomena and encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond mainstream scientific understanding. The editorial also touches upon themes of individual empowerment and responsibility, particularly in the context of global issues and the exploration of consciousness.
