Magazine Overview
Title: Cambridge UFO Research Group Newsletter
Issue: No. 44
Date: June, 1993
This newsletter from the Cambridge UFO Research Group provides an update on their activities, discussions, and recent UFO sightings. It highlights the group's ongoing efforts to investigate and understand unexplained aerial phenomena.
Meeting Recaps and Discussions
The March meeting featured the viewing of three videos. One video, filmed by a man from Arthur, captured a UFO. Another video presented was of the Travis Walton case, as seen on the program "In Search Of," prior to the release of the movie "Fire In The Sky." The newsletter notes that Travis Walton's account in the video included descriptions of emotionless beings with large eyes, a craft that altered the sky chart, and a creature resembling a man in a blue uniform. Two other UFO cases from the same show were also viewed. The group also discussed the movie "Fire In The Sky," finding it realistic until the end, with the spaceship interior being unrealistic, and cautioning that the movie might give false impressions about abductions, particularly the alien examination scene.
The newsletter reports that several new people attended the meeting, a result of a TV newscast.
Media Interactions and Public Outreach
The newsletter details several media interactions. On March 17th, Steve Hooper of CKCO TV in Kitchener interviewed the newsletter's author, incorporating footage from the "Fire In The Sky" movie. This interview aired multiple times. On March 24th, Don Downey of CKWR radio station also conducted an interview. Steve Hooper conducted another interview on March 31st regarding the UFO video taken in Arthur, which resulted in a busy phone line after the news segment aired.
Jessico Malloy from the TV program "Sightings" in Los Angeles contacted the author to analyze the Arthur UFO video, with potential inclusion in an international UFO video program. Local newspapers, the K-W Record and Guelph Mercury, also published articles about the Arthur UFO video.
On April 8th, a presentation was given to students at William G. Davis School in Cambridge as part of their Enrichment class.
Guest Speaker: Shirley Arbuthnot
Shirley Arbuthnot, a member of the group, was the guest speaker for the April meeting. Her research spans anthropology, myths, and legends. She addressed challenges in UFO research, including charlatans in parapsychology and ufology, and mail fraud. Her talk touched upon evidence of extraterrestrial contact, such as artifacts found from 60,000 years ago, including iron nails in rocks. She referenced ancient myths, including Mexican books about beings from the east providing calendars and Indian myths about flying machines, noting the Mayan symbol for 'O' resembles a UFO. Irish history from 956 AD was cited for mentions of a "demon ship."
Arbuthnot also discussed her precognitive dreams and theories about wormhole theory, parallel dimensions, and anti-matter. She suggested that disappearances might be related to anti-matter interactions and the existence of multiple parallel dimensions, emphasizing the mind-boggling nature of physics and ongoing scientific research into other time continuums.
- As part of her presentation, Shirley Arbuthnot shared results from a survey she conducted on childhood dreams and experiences related to UFOs:
- 87% felt they had been suspended in space.
- 58% had night terrors.
- 38% had invisible playmates.
- 54% had unusual hobbies.
- 93% had dreams of UFOs.
Her talk was described as thought-provoking.
UFO Video from Arthur Detailed
Further details are provided about the UFO video taken in Arthur on February 26th at 6:05 PM. The 12-minute video was filmed by an Arthur businessman and his son. The son first observed the object, described as a lot closer and one-dimensional, though this detail was not captured on tape. The object was seen as an inverted 'V' shape when closest. The father then filmed the object as it moved from one side of a tree to the other, heading due west. The last 3 minutes of the video are fuzzy. The object was described as looking like a stick or bar on the video and did not perform unusual maneuvers or make any sound. The son attempted to follow the object in a truck but could not catch up.
- Additional reports from people who saw the newscast or read newspaper articles include:
- On March 29th, Trudy of Moisella saw an object of the same shape coming from the west, going north, for 5-10 minutes. It was high, far away, and had no color, moving in a straight line.
- A lady from Arthur reported seeing a light for three consecutive nights at approximately the same time and location, similar in shape to the UFO on the video.
- A husband and wife in Mount Forest saw an inverted V-shaped object while driving, which they watched for 10-15 minutes between 6:00 and 6:30 PM.
The Arthur video tape was sent to Jeff Sainio in Hartland, WI, a MUFON staff photoanalyst. Drew Williamson of Canadian Anomalous Phenomenon Studies in Toronto digitized the video, but it appeared as a "dirty smudge" with no identifiable features. An attempt to have the tape analyzed by "Sightings" proved unsuccessful.
Other Sightings in Arthur Area
- A lady living in Arthur reported seeing unknown objects between 1979 and 1985, typically between 3:00 and 4:00 PM.
- While driving on Konn Rd., she saw an object initially mistaken for a parachute. Two lights appeared, the object was white and pie-shaped with lines descending. It sped across the sky and disappeared. Binocular observation confirmed it was not a parachute.
- On Guelph Rd. to Erin, she saw two objects flying on their sides, described as tipped, dome-shaped, round, and silver with no lights. These were large objects that moved across the sky and disappeared.
- While driving home, she saw an object directly in front of her, estimated to be the height of a six-storey building, close enough to see clearly. This sighting was accompanied by blackouts in the area.
Analysis and Public Perception
Bonnie Wheeler is quoted in a Record article stating that "Public ready to believe in UFOs, woman says." She believes that not all sightings can be dismissed as imagination, stating, "Where there's smoke, there's fire." She firmly believes in the existence of aliens, finding the idea of humans being alone in the universe "absurd and egotistical." Wheeler employs methods to filter out misidentifications, such as consulting a local astronomer and data from the National Museum of Science and Technology, and has soil samples from alleged landing sites analyzed at the University of Guelph.
She notes that nocturnal lights are the most frequent sightings, but more people are coming forward with stories of alien abduction. She has investigated cases involving contact with aliens, often described as short, hairless, greyish beings with large, cat-like eyes.
Ian Hart of Woodstock reported a UFO sighting in the summer of 1966, witnessed by at least 30 people, including police officers. The object was described as a circular, noiseless craft with multicolored lights. Jack McCulloch, a retired OPP officer, confirmed seeing an unidentified object about 12 meters in length that left an acrid smell.
Wheeler acknowledges the existence of "kooks" who can undermine research but states that about 90 percent of people reporting sightings are sincere. She believes public perception of UFOs is changing due to increased media attention, making people more receptive to the idea of unusual phenomena in the skies.
Other Worlds Section
A brief section titled "OTHER WORLDS" discusses claims by David Jungclaus, a California parapsychologist, who believes alien "Star People" from the planet Aurra are visiting Earth, possibly related to the Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis. He claims they use an electromagnetic cloak to remain invisible and are using "exploding green balls" to cleanse Earth of pollutants.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The newsletter consistently focuses on UFO sightings, investigations, and the analysis of photographic and video evidence. There is a strong emphasis on credible witness accounts and the scientific approach to understanding these phenomena, while also acknowledging the more speculative aspects like parallel dimensions and extraterrestrial contact. The group, led by Bonnie Wheeler, appears dedicated to gathering and disseminating information on UFOs, aiming to separate fact from fiction and encourage serious research. The editorial stance is one of open-mindedness and a belief that there is much yet to be understood about phenomena in our skies and potentially beyond.
This issue of BIZARRO, dated Thursday, March 11, 1993, from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, features a prominent article on the movie "Fire In The Sky," which dramatizes the alleged UFO abduction of Travis Walton. The cover headline, "Hollywood thriller takes UFOs seriously," highlights the serious treatment of the subject matter. The magazine also includes comic strips by Dan Piraro and Jim Unger (Herman), and reports on other UFO-related phenomena.
"Fire In The Sky" and the Travis Walton Case
The main focus of the issue is the movie "Fire In The Sky," based on the 1975 incident involving Travis Walton, a logger from northeastern Arizona. The article "Hollywood thriller takes UFOs seriously" by Jamie Portman details Walton's account of being abducted by aliens, his five-day disappearance, and his subsequent reappearance. Actor D.B. Sweeney, who plays Walton, shares his perspective, noting that he was initially a skeptic but was convinced by the evidence surrounding the case. Sweeney emphasizes that the film is based on a true story and aims to present it seriously, not as mere fantasy.
Walton himself is quoted expressing hope that the movie will make people more open-minded about UFOs. He recounts the experience of regaining consciousness under a bright light and seeing small, hairless, chalky-skinned creatures with large eyes. The incident occurred on November 5, 1975, when Walton and six other loggers saw a strange light in the sky. Walton's curiosity led him to approach the object, after which he was struck by a beam of energy and disappeared. His companions, initially suspected of foul play, were cleared when they all passed polygraph tests, as did Walton himself.
The article "Spaced-out story hits the big screen" from The Toronto Star further elaborates on the incident, detailing the loggers' account of seeing a mechanical object and a beam of energy. It also touches upon the historical context of Hollywood's portrayal of aliens, from the "campy, creepy sci-fi adventures" of the 1950s to the more benign depictions in films like "E.T." in the 1980s. "Fire In The Sky" is positioned as a new cycle of space pictures that encourages introspection.
Philip Klass, a UFO debunker and member of the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), is mentioned as attacking Walton's claims, suggesting it was a hoax concocted with Michael Rogers to win a National Enquirer prize. However, Walton and the other loggers have denied this.
UFO Debate and Other Incidents
An article titled "UFO debate not settled after 45 years" from KWRecord discusses the enduring controversy surrounding the 1947 Roswell incident. Experts and enthusiasts at a conference agreed the army's initial announcement was a mistake, but disagreed on its nature, with skeptics attributing it to a military balloon and others believing it involved a genuine UFO crash and potential alien bodies.
Donald Schmitt, co-author of "UFO Crash at Roswell," is investigating reports of military recovery of alien bodies and a nurse who allegedly assisted in an autopsy. He describes the alleged alien bodies as smaller than adult humans, with large heads, concave eyes, and four-fingered hands.
Personal Accounts of Missing Time and Sightings
Several pages are dedicated to personal accounts of alleged UFO encounters and "missing time" experiences, primarily involving a couple named Dave and Lynn from Hamilton, Canada. These accounts, presented in point form and based on interviews by Scott Jordon and Jacob Noordyk, detail experiences from 1990 to 1992.
Dave and Lynn report a "first occurrence of missing time" in mid-January 1991, where they experienced a significant gap in their memory while driving. They recall leaving home but not remembering the journey until they arrived at Mount Hope Airport. Dave also experienced a feeling of extreme tiredness after returning home from a party.
On April 18, 1991, they reported seeing a "bright, orangish, object" over Dofasco, which led to a strange feeling of being on an unfamiliar country road. They later saw an object that seemed to be coming towards them, with black windows and a greyish color, which they followed. Dave experienced an anxiety attack, feeling as if he had dreamed it before.
In the summer of 1991, both Dave and Lynn reported waking up around 3:00 AM with loud beeping sounds. Dave described the sound as coming from inside his head, while Lynn initially thought it was an external noise. These experiences continued for about two months.
Dave began having dreams about aliens in May or June 1992, including one where a female alien intended to take a skin sample from his nose and cheeks. Lynn reported visions of aliens in May, June, and early July 1992, including one where an alien was very close to her. These dreams and visions are described as vivid and sometimes frightening.
Cartoons and Other Content
The issue includes the "Bizarro" comic strip by Dan Piraro, featuring a humorous take on alien abduction with a person complaining about their thumb ache since the last abduction. Another comic strip, "Herman" by Jim Unger, humorously depicts a person reporting a missing husband who was kidnapped by creatures from another planet and has now returned.
A small advertisement for "CATALYST p.c. NEW AGE DIRECTORY" is also present, offering resources for New Age and UFO-related interests.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are UFO abductions, alien encounters, missing time phenomena, and the ongoing debate surrounding UFOs, particularly in light of the "Fire In The Sky" movie and the historical Roswell incident. The magazine appears to present these topics with a degree of seriousness, particularly the Travis Walton case, while also incorporating humor through comic strips. The editorial stance seems to be one of exploring these phenomena, presenting personal accounts, and acknowledging the public's fascination with the unknown, while also noting the existence of skepticism and debunking efforts.
This document comprises content from the JOURNAL OF UFO STUDIES, New Series, Volume 4, published in 1992. It also includes promotional material for THE LUNAR CALENDAR and a personal letter discussing advanced aircraft technology.

Letter from James W. Black
A letter dated Friday, April 2, 1993, from James W. Black of Toronto, Ontario, to Bonnie Wheeler, discusses his work and interests. He mentions enclosing a copy of his U.S. patent for a propulsion system. He states that an astrophysicist at NASA HQ told him that the U.S. government is working with extraterrestrials in laboratories at secluded U.S. bases, involving genetics research. He also mentions a friend involved in the Philadelphia experiments and new energy systems. Black is working on developing a system for repositioning satellites. He further notes that "Flying Saucer" technology is expected to be the next stage of development, possibly in ten to twenty years, and describes these wingless aircraft as gas-powered, with advanced vertical and horizontal flight capabilities, laser equipment, and the potential for remote piloting. He suggests these vehicles are part of a "New World Order" and may be supplied to Russian cargo planes. He also touches upon global economic disorder and the need for awareness to survive.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes throughout this document are UFO sightings, alien encounters, abduction experiences, and the scientific and theoretical study of these phenomena. There is a clear interest in exploring the nature of UFOs, the potential involvement of governments, and the psychological impact on experiencers. The JOURNAL OF UFO STUDIES appears to be a platform for detailed research and discussion within the ufology community. The promotional material for THE LUNAR CALENDAR suggests an interest in esoteric and astronomical subjects, while the letter from James W. Black introduces themes of advanced technology, potential government cover-ups, and global geopolitical shifts related to UFOs and extraterrestrial contact.

Personal Accounts of Encounters
The magazine presents several detailed personal accounts of unusual experiences, primarily UFO sightings and potential alien encounters:
Kay's Father's Sighting (Early 1930s)
Kay's father reported a sighting in the early 1930s while driving his old Model T Ford in the country. He saw a very bright object that flew over his car and lit up the entire vehicle. There were no lights associated with the object.
Kay's Sighting in New Brunswick (1960)
In 1960, while driving with her sister from New Brunswick to Nova Scotia at 11:00 PM, Kay reported seeing a searchlight, which she initially thought might be from a fair. She also noticed boys standing in front of a club. Her two young sons were asleep in the back seat. Kay noted a discrepancy: the searchlight and boys were initially on her right, but when the object was beside the car as they left a small town, the object was on her left. This confused her, as if the car had turned in the opposite direction. The object was seen between two 3-story buildings, moving between the second and third floors. It was described as round with rows of windows, orange and yellow lights, and small black marks resembling windows. No sound was detected. The object followed the car out of town and then disappeared.
Kay's Dream-like Experience in Hamilton (1976)
In 1976, at her home in Hamilton, Kay recounted an experience she is unsure if she was dreaming. She woke up and saw a small ship, about the size of a volleyball, with three small beings who emerged. They communicated telepathically, asking her to come aboard. She found this amusing due to their size. She later found herself standing in her kitchen, where the same beings, now larger (shoulders above the table), were present. They communicated without sound, and she couldn't determine if they had mouths. They had round shoulders, unusual head shapes, and a greyish color, but were described as friendly. The craft was round with a dome. She did not remember walking to the kitchen.
Kay and Boyfriend's Disorienting Experience (1988)
In the summer or early fall of 1988, in Hamilton, Kay and her boyfriend left a dinner party around 11:00 PM and decided to walk home. While walking, they encountered a strange feeling and were pulled between two houses. They then experienced sliding down a gravelly hill, a broken bridge beam, a small German-style village, and a tall, black man (approximately 7 feet tall) on a bridge railing. They then found themselves sitting on their apartment couch, with no memory of how they arrived. They later discovered they had been gone for an unspecified period. A therapist suggested their experiences might not have been identical. Kay's boyfriend confirmed her memory of the event.
Subsequent Investigations and Reflections
Kay and her boyfriend searched the area where they believed the events occurred but found no trace of the village or unusual landscape. Kay noted that the two houses they recalled did exist, but the rest of the scenery did not. Her boyfriend stated that if he ever saw a bridge with a broken beam, it would serve as a warning to stay away. He later drove around Hamilton searching for such a bridge. They were not tired upon waking on the couch, despite the perceived running. Kay reflected that something was triggered after seeing the light. The experience bothered her significantly, especially the shared memory with her boyfriend.
Health Information
Brief health notes for Kay are included, mentioning her use of estrogen and tranquilizers, a hysterectomy, lower back pain, and occasional headaches.
NASA's Mars Observer Mission
The issue includes a report on NASA's Mars Observer mission, which launched on October 18, 1992. The Titan 3 rocket carried the spacecraft from Cape Canaveral. The mission, costing $980 million, was designed to map Mars's surface and atmosphere, record weather, and search for signs of life. It was the first U.S. spacecraft sent to Mars since Viking 2 in 1975. The Mars Observer was expected to reach Mars in 11 months and operate for over three years. The article also mentions the opportunity to travel to Mars occurs every 26 months when Mars and Earth align and notes that the Observer might relay signals from Russian Mars probes in 1994 and 1996.
Space Station Program
Pages 8 and 9 feature information and illustrations related to the 'Space Station Program,' specifically 'Space Station Freedom.' The benefits of the program are listed, including inspiring youth, enhancing U.S. commercial competitiveness, providing a step towards long-duration space exploration, and creating a proud heritage. The pages include diagrams of the space station and images of components like the Alpha Joint, Airlock Interior, Space-Based Development, and Life Science Facility. McDonnell Douglas Space Systems Company is identified as the developer.
Former Chart-Topper Tracks UFOs
A brief article mentions Reg Presley, a former member of the band The Trogs, who is now tracking UFOs. He reportedly uses satellite dishes and other equipment during night vigils to observe floating spheres from outer space visiting the Silbury Hill area in England.
Cartoons
Page 2 includes two cartoons: 'The Far Side' by Gary Larson, one depicting mummies and curses, and another with primitive scientists experimenting with a 'Time Log.'
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the paranormal, unexplained phenomena, and New Age beliefs, as exemplified by the featured 'Source Encyclopedia.' The inclusion of personal accounts of UFO sightings and alien encounters suggests an editorial stance that is open to exploring such phenomena. The coverage of NASA's space missions, particularly to Mars, provides a contrast between scientific exploration and the more esoteric topics. The magazine appears to cater to an audience interested in both the spiritual and the potentially extraterrestrial aspects of existence, alongside advancements in space technology.
This issue of 'The Project' magazine, dated April 21, 1993, is a publication dedicated to applying the scientific method to conspiracy theories of history. It focuses on the hypothesis of a London-centered world money cartel, under the patronage of the British Crown, vying for dominion of world affairs against the Vatican. The magazine appears quarterly and targets social-political-religious activists, investors, futurologists, students of geopolitics, secret societies, and those interested in objective, non-partisan ruling class/conspiracy scholarship.
Erhart's Sighting: Kitchener, Ontario
On April 21, 1993, at 12:10 A.M., a witness named Erhart was outside in Kitchener, Ontario, looking at the stars with binoculars. He spotted six objects in a straight line, evenly spaced apart, traveling from southeast to northwest. The sighting lasted one minute. Erhart estimated the objects were at 100,000 feet and traveling four times the speed of a plane, with no sound. The objects were described as square-shaped with a slightly oblong rounded bottom, duller in color than an airplane, and appearing to have a reflected type of light. They disappeared over the top of clouds, traveling in a horizontal line without wavering, except for one instance where an object zipped out to the east and then returned to formation. A jet was observed several minutes later at 25,000 feet. The sky was overcast with streaky clouds, but clear at the north star. The cloud base was reported to be 25,000 feet. Erhart contacted the London Flight Service Station, but they could offer no explanation. He noted that the objects could not be seen without binoculars, and the sighting was deemed unexplained.
The Tau Ceti Connection: A Crashed Alien Craft
This section details an extraordinary account by a witness, identified as Oscar, who was involved in a military operation concerning a crashed alien craft. The operation took place near a COMPTRAPAC submarine base in San Diego, and the craft was later moved to a North Dakota base. The witness, initially part of an OSS unit, was assigned to security for the crash retrieval. The chief scientist was Professor Bear. The craft, a large disc-shaped object, had crashed near Phoenix, Arizona. Two dead alien bodies, exhibiting signs of fatal radiation exposure, were found outside the craft. The witness, referred to as 'Hank' by Professor Bear (a nickname derived from a Native American reference to a 'troubled spirit'), was the first to enter the craft. The interior was described as rounded, continuous, and seamless, with no visible rivets. It had a table that appeared to be pushed out of the floor and control panels with strange symbols but no knobs or switches. The alien occupant, who was conscious and in pain, communicated telepathically. The witness, Oscar, acted as a translator, noting that normal anesthetics had little effect on the alien. Frank Drake, head of the operation, introduced himself and established 'Project OSMA.' Oscar later intervened to stop perceived torture of the alien, demanding an end to medical experiments such as spinal taps and organ sampling without anesthesia. This act led to Oscar being incarcerated and debriefed at Saint Albans Hospital in Connecticut, eventually receiving an honorable discharge. Oscar's account suggests a cover-up and mistreatment of both himself and the alien.
A Note On Recommended Reading and Book Search Service
The magazine provides a section on recommended reading, acknowledging that many recommended books have partisan biases but contribute facts, research leads, and insights relevant to 'The Project's' hypothesis. It emphasizes consulting 'The Project' back issues for the evolving theory. A 'Book Search Service' is also offered, where for a $3.00 fee, A-albionic Research will search for rare and out-of-print books in areas such as super-rich biography, revisionist history, secret societies, world revolution, and occult titles.
Free Bonus Books Offer
Subscribers are offered free bonus books based on the 'Net Amount This Order.' Orders over $49.99 allow selection of 3 free books, while orders over $99.99 allow up to 7 free books from a provided list.
Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed
This section promotes a book titled 'Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed' by Sandra Bowen, F. R. 'Nick' Nocerino, and Joshua Shapiro. The book explores the origins and properties of Crystal Skulls, linking them to extraterrestrial contact, psychic powers, and shifts in planetary consciousness. It is described as a comprehensive resource based on researcher experiences and spiritual channels. The book is 320 pages, perfect-bound, and includes photographs and illustrations. The authors, including F. R. 'Nick' Nocerino, a prominent Crystal Skull lecturer, are highlighted.
Subscription Form and Explanation of Privileges
The magazine includes a subscription form for 'The Project,' offering various subscription levels with different privileges, such as passive reading of letters for regular subscribers to hypotheses pursued in the Project for supporting subscribers. Options for renewal, new subscriptions, and extension subscriptions are available, with pricing in US dollars and credits mentioned.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around conspiracy theories, particularly those concerning global power structures and secret organizations like the Vatican and British Empires. There is a strong focus on UFO and UAP sightings, alien encounters, and crash retrievals, presented as subjects for scientific investigation within a conspiratorial framework. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry into hidden histories and phenomena, encouraging readers to question official narratives and explore alternative explanations. The promotion of 'The Project' as a research network dedicated to applying scientific methods to these topics underscores a commitment to uncovering perceived truths, even when they challenge conventional understanding.
This issue of "U.F.O. THE VIDEO SERIES" (Volume 1, Issue 6, 1992) from Obscure Research Labs presents a collection of articles and information related to UFO phenomena, government investigations, and alien contact.
Article: Ex-New York Times reporter claims: Secret govt. panel probing mysterious UFO encounters
This article, based on the book "Out There: The Government's Secret Quest for Extraterrestrials" by former New York Times reporter Howard Blum, alleges that the U.S. government is secretly funding a massive, multi-million dollar investigation into UFO encounters. Blum claims the existence of a new government panel called the UFO Working Group, formed in 1987, comprised of military and civilian experts from agencies like the DIA, NSA, and CIA, which meets at the Pentagon. The group has reportedly investigated spectacular sightings that couldn't be explained. The article highlights two Elmwood, Wisconsin cases: one involving policeman George Wheeler, who witnessed a large UFO and was later affected by a mysterious blue ray, leading to his death; and another involving Carol Forster, who reported being stalked by a UFO. Blum suggests that while the government investigates UFOs, other agencies work to discredit legitimate researchers. He concludes that contact with intelligent life from another planet is likely in the future.
Article: Oscar's Alien Encounters
This section details the alleged experiences of a contactee named Oscar, who claims his capsule appeared in a tunnel and decelerated, a technology supposedly derived from the Philadelphia experiment and alien technology. Oscar spoke of geological time/space/dimension doors allowing easy entry for extraterrestrial craft, with two such doorways reported near Seattle and Lake Superior. He identified the stars of origin of his people as Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. Oscar believes the 'greys' are a parasitic race preying on human civilizations and that the U.S. government's involvement with them is dangerously out of control. He described these 'bug people' as closer to plant life than mammals, feeding on human fluids. The Tau Cetians, Oscar claims, are working with other races against these 'bug people,' and he vouches for the Billy Meier case as a real contact. Oscar's own knowledge is gained through concentration, with answers coming from his alien friends, as he claims to have no books or magazines. A friend of Oscar's, Hank, an alien from Tau Ceti, was reportedly photographed, and an enhanced version of this photo is presented, intended to help those with abduction experiences recognize the Tau Cetians, who are here to help.
The article also introduces the case of Jill Waldport from Springfield, Illinois, who has ongoing involvement with grey aliens. Waldport inquired if anyone had been contacted by multiple alien races, and the author confirmed this possibility. Waldport described aliens who were human-like, about five and a half feet tall, with tanned skin, short hair, brown eyes, and a broad, flat nose. Oscar described Hank as weighing 190 pounds and being five feet seven inches tall with a broad, flat nose. The aliens told Waldport they disliked the greys' actions and came to help her learn self-protection through psychic shielding. They identified their origin as 'Tau Seat-eye.' Oscar was aware of Jill's case and provided an accurate description of her.
Further correlations are drawn with the Drake project (predecessor to SETI) and its focus on Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. A Bouguer gravity anomaly map shows low gravity areas at both locations mentioned by Oscar. The author is researching patterns connecting gravity anomalies, geomagnetic anomalies, Indian reservations, military bases, and cavern entrances. Another contactee, Lynn Cavins, with dowsing ability, was guided by alien instructions to a property with intersecting energy lines forming a triangle, creating energy vortexes for communication. Cavins identified an energy line and whirlpool and found a clearing in the woods where Oscar reportedly talks to aliens.
Article: Betty Hill Leaves UFology: Too Many "Flakes"
Betty Hill, known for her alleged 1961 abduction experience with her husband Barney Hill, is retiring from UFO-related public appearances. She has become disturbed by the increasing number of people reporting UFOs, whom she refers to as 'flakes,' and has decided to distance herself from the subculture. The article cites the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 9/16/91, as its source.
Article: Strieber Ends Communion With UFO Subculture
Whitley Strieber, author of "Communion" and "Transformation," has also become disillusioned with the UFO community. In a letter to his subscribers in March/April 1991, he stated he is not a UFO researcher and does not want to endure the media attacks associated with the field. He described 'UFOlogists' as 'cruellest, nastiest and craziest people' and suggested that abduction reports are 'artifacts of hypnosis and cultural conditioning.' Strieber believes the visitor experience is a perceptual anomaly related to religion and mythology, a 'human thing.' Despite his opinions, the phenomenon has been financially lucrative for him, with substantial publisher advances and a $113 million default judgment related to the movie "Communion."
Cartoon Physics
This section presents a humorous exploration of the laws governing animated cartoons, attributed to "Schrodinger Meets The Acme Boomerang Co." These laws include: Any body suspended in space remains there until aware of its situation; bodies in motion tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes; bodies passing through solid matter leave a perforation; the time to fall is related to the time to chase; and all principles of gravity are negated by fear. Further laws cover objects being in several places at once, passing through solid walls, the impermanence of violent feline rearrangements, everything falling faster than an anvil, and vengeance being equal and opposite. Amendments suggest explosive weapons cannot cause fatal injuries, gravity is transmitted by slow-moving waves, and dynamite is spontaneously generated in 'C-spaces.'
Article: CIA pilot's blockbuster charge: GOV'T HAS SPACE ALIENS UNDER WRAPS!
This article from The Examiner (Sept. 8/92) features former CIA flying ace John Lear, who claims the U.S. government is engaged in a massive cover-up of extraterrestrial life. Lear, holder of numerous FAA Airman's Certificates, alleges that the U.S. has recovered over 40 flying saucers, that Navy pilots have flown alien craft under a secret program since the mid-1950s, and that the remains of up to 100 extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) from 15 species are being preserved. He also claims the U.S. has secret bases on the moon and Mars, with NASA projects serving as cover. Lear, who flew top-secret missions for the CIA in Southeast Asia, states he confirmed rumors of alien landings, including one at Bentwaters Air Force Base in England in late 1980, where three aliens reportedly met Colonel Gordon Williams. He believes the government granted aliens permission to abduct humans in exchange for advanced technology, and that there are at least 70 alien species on Earth, with secret alien underground bases on American soil.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around government secrecy and cover-ups regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial life, the experiences of alleged alien abductees and contactees, and the scientific or pseudo-scientific investigation of these phenomena. There is a clear interest in presenting claims of alien visitation and government involvement, ranging from detailed accounts of encounters to speculative theories. The inclusion of "Cartoon Physics" suggests a willingness to explore unconventional or humorous aspects of the subject matter. The overall stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting various perspectives and claims without necessarily endorsing them as definitive truth, while also acknowledging skepticism and disillusionment within the UFO community itself.
This issue of the U.F.O. Research Institute of Canada's publication, dated October 1991, features a variety of articles on unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, alien implants, vampires, and near-death experiences. The cover story highlights the surgical removal of an alien implant from a man who claims to have been abducted as a child.
Alvina Scott Abduction Transcripts The issue includes a transcript of an in-depth interview with Alvina Scott, detailing her experiences. Scott describes an incident where she felt her legs were held apart by feminine and masculine touches during an examination. She recalls aliens arguing about the number of eggs to be taken for an 'egg count.' Scott states this was the only incident that stood out significantly in her mind, and it occurred at her former residence at 6868 Arcola Street. She recounts that the beings explained their actions by referencing humanity's negative behaviors like rape, murder, incest, and animal experimentation, suggesting they were collecting genetic material (eggs and sperm) for a gene pool to breed with their own kind. They claimed they could grow a hybrid to full adulthood in four days. Scott also mentioned discussing psychic abilities and mental telepathy, which surprised one of the female beings. She touched upon spirituality and the concept of co-creation of existence, but the beings seemed focused purely on logic and had no emotion.
Scott described the landing area as being influenced by the beings putting thoughts into people's minds not to park in a certain area. The incident occurred at night. When asked if she knew these beings as a child, she said no. She questioned their actions due to humanity's perceived disregard for life, citing animal cloning and the treatment of animals in shelters. She also mentioned the beings' ability to take an egg and sperm and grow it to full adulthood in four days. Scott noted that the female being was surprised by humanity's psychic and mental telepathy advancements. She also discussed spirituality and the idea of co-creation, to which the female being responded that they had a job to do and were coming to do it, implying a lack of religious or spiritual belief on their part. Scott felt they operated purely on logic.
Regarding the craft, Scott saw a very large, black car-like object with narrow windows emitting a luminous light from within. It took up two parking spaces. She believes she wasn't supposed to see it, but the image presented was for her to see in case she did.
