The newsletter, published by the Cambridge UFO Research Group from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, announces its cessation of publication. The cover features a stylized illustration of trees and a UFO, with the main headline "'I've never seen anything like it'" referring to a crop circle article.

Editorial Announcement

Bonnie Wheeler, the founder and editor, announces that this will be the last UFO newsletter she will produce. After starting the group in September 1976 and producing the newsletter since then, she feels she needs a break from the responsibilities of running the newsletter, monthly meetings, and other group activities, despite still having interest in the research.

Wheat Field Pattern a Real Puzzler

This article, by Blair Crawford, reports on a bizarre pattern discovered in a wheat field in Malden Township, Canada. The pattern, noticed by neighbor Jon Parks, has farmers and locals puzzled, with speculation ranging from pranksters to aliens. Aerial views revealed a perfect symmetry. The article quotes Parks saying, "I've never seen anything like it." Businessman Barry Purdie provided aerial views using a boom truck. The pattern features a central corridor about 2.5 meters wide and 50 meters long, with concentric circles at each end, the largest about 15 meters in diameter, along with several T-shaped figures and smaller circular marks. The article notes the lack of evidence of how the pattern was made, such as trails or footprints. The Wismer brothers, who farm the field, declined to comment and intended to harvest the crop, though a moisture test delayed this. The article also mentions the phenomenon of crop circles appearing globally and cites a retired engineer who admitted to creating them using a plank and chain.

Wheat Field Tale Takes On Life of Its Own

By David Morelli, this article continues the story of the Malden Centre crop circle. It addresses a report in the Amherstburg Echo newspaper claiming "government officials" confiscated a video tape and pictures from Barry Purdie. Purdie denies this, stating the Echo article is making a mockery of the phenomenon. The Echo reporter, Jack Kindred, stands by his story, claiming Purdie provided the information twice. The article notes that the Paramount Studio television show "Sightings" has been inquiring about the story. Purdie, a general contractor, had been hoisting people up in his crane for a better view. He denies being accosted by "government officials" and expresses frustration that rumors, such as him creating the circles, are circulating. He also mentions a University of Saskatchewan student who wanted wheat for bread. Purdie wishes the story would fade.

Ongoing Abductions

This personal account by Leah Haley details her experiences with alien abductions. She references a Roper Organization survey suggesting two percent of the American adult population has had an abduction experience. Haley's memories, initially blocked, resurfaced through triggers. She describes a childhood UFO sighting in Alabama and a later experience aboard a spaceship undergoing medical examinations by chalky-colored alien beings. She sought hypnotic regression with John Carpenter of the Mutual UFO Network. In these sessions, she recalled more details about the childhood sighting, including being led to a clearing by a creature and being examined with a silver instrument. She also recalled floating above her bed in white light and a more detailed abduction experience involving a round spaceship, gynecological procedures, and lab experiments. Haley initially struggled to accept these memories as real, preferring to believe it was a mental issue. However, subsequent events, including being followed by suspicious individuals and questioned by the FBI, forced her to accept the reality of her experiences. She describes further abductions, including one where she was pulled out of bed by a force and taken to a room that appeared to be a mansion, later revealed as a screen memory. She recalls procedures involving a needle in her abdomen and scraping samples from her vagina. The aliens showed her a young boy created from her ova and a room full of hybrid babies, explaining their efforts to improve their race. Haley states her abductions are ongoing and have changed her life, leading her to teach about the phenomenon and support other abductees. She questions the origin, goals, and criteria of the abductors, and wonders if her experiences are related to military interrogations or brainwashing.

Haley is the author of "Lost Was the Key" and is working on a children's book titled "Ceto's New Friends."

Secret Missions to the Moon and Mars Continue: Why???

This article by Bill Knell discusses the perceived secrecy surrounding space missions, particularly after the failure of the Mars Observer. Knell questions why there wasn't a redundant probe for such an important mission and mentions smaller, less public launches. He highlights a Moon Rocket launch in January 1994 from Vandenburg A.F.B. that received minimal media attention, with NASA stating its purpose was to radar map the Moon. Knell questions the military's deep involvement in lunar projects. He also mentions that probes have been sent to Mars on a smaller scale, described as strictly military missions. Knell promotes his updated slide/lecture "The UFO Cover-Up!" which discusses "Alternative 3" (a British docu-drama about mysterious deaths connected to a secret space program, secret Moon Bases, and earlier landings than Apollo 11), the Philadelphia Experiment, Montauk Project, and other related topics. Videos and a rare book on "Alternative 3" are available for purchase.

Biosphere 'Soap' Enters New Chapter

This article from the Associated Press reports on the Biosphere 2 project. After the initial two-year mission concluded, the private, for-profit project plans to send a new crew into the dome. This time, the dome will not be completely sealed, allowing scientists and visitors to enter for short stays. A permanent crew will live inside, with periodic changes. The article notes that the project's credibility suffered due to organizers delaying or downplaying setbacks like crop failures and oxygen losses. Thomas Lovejoy of the Smithsonian Institution offers qualified endorsement, emphasizing the need for proper measurement of inputs and outputs for a valid experiment. The article mentions that the first mission's crew emerged after tending and studying the terrarium, which contained miniature ecosystems. The second phase will include stays for teachers, technical specialists, managers, environmentalists, and business people. Biosphere 2 is designed as a 100-year experiment to study Earth and develop technology for environmental solutions and space applications.

In a Word...

This brief column by A.J. Meder defines "SPECIMEN" as "An individual used for study and representing its kind." It includes a cartoon depicting figures being weighed, measured, and tagged before release.

Correspondence

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently explores UFO phenomena, crop circles, and alleged alien abductions, often questioning official narratives and highlighting potential government secrecy. The final issue reflects a personal decision to step away from the demanding work of running a research group and publication, while still maintaining interest in the subject. The articles present a mix of investigative reporting, personal testimony, and speculative discussion, aiming to inform readers about unexplained phenomena and encourage critical thinking.

Title: SKY NEWS
Issue: SUMMER 1994
Publisher: Govardhan Hill Publishing
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of SKY NEWS delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, featuring a report on Steven Spielberg's alleged movie project, extensive UFO sightings in China, and a detailed look at the book 'Alien Identities' by Richard L. Thompson.

Spielberg to Expose UFO Cover-Ups

The issue begins with a report from the LONDON DAILY MIRROR detailing director Steven Spielberg's purported fifty million pound budget movie, 'Project X'. This film is said to be based on the Roswell Air Force base incident and aims to expose a government cover-up of an alien spaceship crash in 1947. Insiders suggest Spielberg has obtained previously unseen film footage of the crashed UFO, and the movie is slated for a 1997 release, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Roswell crash. The article speculates on Spielberg's confidence, linking it to the potential failure of the Congressman Schiff GAO investigation, and suggests the outcome might be a 'whitewash' similar to the Condon Report.

Chinese Report UFOs

This section highlights a significant number of UFO sightings, with over 6,000 reported over the channel between China and Taiwan. The report, originating from China's Xinhua News Agency and published in the EDINBURGH SCOTSMAN, notes that the first China-Taiwan UFO Symposium in Beijing called for more scientific study of these sightings. The article also mentions the impressive circulation of the Chinese UFO journal, Feidie Tansuo, selling 300,000 copies monthly. The author expresses astonishment at the lack of coverage in the U.S. media, including major newspapers and CNN, despite the Reuter New Service also distributing the story.

Cosmic Trivia Quiz

A 'Cosmic Trivia Quiz' is presented, testing readers' knowledge of outer space facts with 18 questions covering planets, stars, galaxies, and space exploration. The answers are provided at the end of the page.

Alien Identities in Reprint and German Language Rights Sold

A news release from Govardhan Hill Publishing announces that German language rights to Richard L. Thompson's book, 'Alien Identities -- Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena', have been acquired by the German publisher Bettendorf. Dieter Obergfell, CEO of Bettendorf, expresses excitement about presenting the book, calling it an important contribution. The book, initially launched in November 1993 with a print run of 5,000, has been well-received and went back to printers for an additional 3,500 copies. Further foreign language rights discussions are underway.

Cover and Book Description

The cover of the magazine features artwork of a UFO hovering over ancient structures, with the title 'ALIEN IDENTITIES' and author Richard L. Thompson. The back cover provides a synopsis of the book, posing questions about the identity and origins of UFOs and alien visitors. It highlights Thompson's approach, which links modern UFO accounts with ancient Sanskrit writings and Indian Vedic culture. Several testimonials from notable figures like Whitley Strieber, Roger W. Wescott, and Berthold Schwartz praise the book for its research, insight, and contribution to UFOlogical literature, with many predicting it will become a classic.

Commentary by John Paul Oswald

John Paul Oswald's commentary, dated May 1993, discusses the correlation between UFO-Alien activity and the Kuwaiti war in November 1992. He notes the inadequacy of civilian intelligence data but suggests significant UFO-Alien activity occurred, citing examples in Belgium, France, Florida (with CSETI interaction), and sightings linked to English crop pictograms. Oswald posits that the lack of a widespread UFO surge during the Kuwaiti conflict might be due to the absence of an imminent threat of global catastrophe, unlike previous conflicts. He expresses concern for future human prospects due to post-U.S.S.R. hostilities and nuclear proliferation, anticipating continued UFO-Alien activity correlating with human social spheres.

Crop Circle Phenomenon and UFO-Alien Interaction

Pages 8-9 delve deeper into the crop circle phenomenon, emphasizing its importance and the lack of satisfactory natural explanations. The commentary suggests an intelligence directs their formation and links them strongly to UFO-Aliens. It critiques the claims of hoaxers Douglas Bower and David Chorley, asserting that the continued occurrence of crop figures and research findings affirm their unconventional nature. The text highlights the 'active interaction' aspect of the UFO phenomenon, detailing how researchers from Circles Phenomena Research (CPR) and CSETI, including Dr. Steven Greer, have engaged in experiments to attract and communicate with UFO-Aliens at crop figure sites. These experiments reportedly resulted in close approaches of UFOs and exchanges of light signals, providing further evidence for UFO-Aliens as the causative agents.

UFO-Alien Communication and Abduction Research

Dr. Steven Greer of CSETI has developed procedures for communicating with UFO-Aliens using sound, light signals, and thought projection, leading to successful 'precipitations' of UFO appearances and exchanges of communications. Three major successes occurred in 1992 in Belgium, Gulf Breeze, Florida, and southern England. The commentary also touches upon the breakthrough in understanding UFO-Alien abduction cases, noting the standardized 'examination process' abductees undergo. It suggests UFO-Aliens are engaged in a large-scale breeding program to produce a hybrid type of being, referencing works by Dr. Thomas E. Bullard and Dr. David M. Jacobs. The issue of tangible evidence for UFO-Alien artifacts is discussed, with mentions of recovered 'crashed' UFOs and advanced alien life-forms from incidents in 1947 (Corona, New Mexico) and 1965 (Kecksburgh, Pennsylvania). The recovery of UFO-Alien implants from abductees is also noted, with three objects under study at Harvard Medical School. The 'Linda Cortile' abduction case is presented as providing dramatic support for the reality of the UFO-Alien presence and its abduction program.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around government cover-ups of UFO phenomena, the potential for extraterrestrial contact and communication, and the interpretation of ancient texts and artifacts in relation to UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting evidence and theories that suggest a genuine extraterrestrial presence and interaction with humanity, often challenging official narratives and skeptical viewpoints. There is a strong emphasis on research, documented cases, and the potential for significant revelations about the nature of UFOs and their occupants.

This issue of The Washington Post, dated April 1993, features a prominent article on the front page titled "Frozen bodies await revival in 150 years," detailing the practice of cryonics and the operations of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. The subsequent pages delve into a complex analysis of the UFO-Alien phenomenon, attempting to integrate it with a Christian worldview, specifically the concept of the Second Coming.

Cryonics: The Washington Post Article

The article from The Washington Post describes the process of cryonic suspension, where bodies are preserved in liquid nitrogen at facilities like Alcor Life Extension Foundation. It outlines the costs, with a full body costing up to $120,000 and a head costing $41,000. The hope is that medical science will advance sufficiently in approximately 150 years to revive these individuals. The article notes the increasing popularity of cryonics, the challenges faced by cryonics facilities from critics and health departments, and the operational aspects, including the use of liquid nitrogen for maintenance. It also touches upon the fear of being lost or subjected to invasive autopsies, which cryonicists aim to avoid.

The UFO-Alien Phenomenon and the Second Coming

The core of the magazine's content appears to be an in-depth exploration of the UFO-Alien phenomenon, presented through a lens of Christian eschatology. The author posits that the UFO-Alien presence is not merely a separate event but is intrinsically linked to, and possibly an active phase of, the Second Coming of Christ.

Abduction Cases and Hybrid Creation

The article discusses specific abduction incidents, including one in New York involving a politically prominent individual, which was witnessed by multiple people and caused electrical disturbances. It references the work of researchers like Linda Moulton Howe, who has provided data on animal mutilations and UFO-Alien activity. A significant focus is placed on the concept of UFO-Aliens imparting information about the use of biological specimens in the production of human-hybrid creatures, with the implication that thousands of such hybrid fetuses are being produced.

Integrating UFO Data with Christian Worldview

The author argues that a comprehensive understanding of the UFO-Alien phenomenon requires its integration within a valid Christian worldview. It suggests that Christianity, with its absolute truth claims centered in Christ, accommodates UFO-Alien data exceptionally well. The coincidence of UFO-Alien data with the conceptual model of Angels of the Second Coming operation from Christianity leads to the conclusion that a phase of the Second Coming is underway.

Ufologists and their Perspectives

Several ufologists are mentioned and their contributions discussed. Dr. J. Allen Hynek is quoted on the potential for future scientific leaps related to the UFO problem. Dr. David M. Jacobs is cited regarding UFO-Aliens not allowing humans to know their agenda and not being here to help. Dr. Steven M. Greer is mentioned for his views on humanity's dependence on consciousness development. The article also references the work of researchers like Raymond E. Fowler and the investigations into cases like the Exeter incident and the Hampton encounter, which involved telepathic communication from UFO-Aliens.

Government Secrecy and Control

The author criticizes the US government's policy of suppressing information about the UFO-Alien presence, suggesting that presidents are no longer free to discuss it. This policy is described as a form of deceit, disinformation, and a violation of the democratic contract. The author implies that the government's actions are an attempt to control the narrative and prevent the public from understanding the true nature of the phenomenon.

The Role of UFO-Aliens in the Second Coming

Central to the argument is the idea that the UFO-Alien force is directly involved in what is described as the Second Coming operation. The author suggests that the UFO-Aliens are the 'reapers' who will eliminate sources of evil from the planet. This interpretation is supported by their preoccupation with nuclear activity and their role in what is perceived as a preparatory undertaking for a significant intervention.

The Nature of the UFO-Alien Encounter

The article describes the UFO-Alien entities as advanced beings with their own reality and plans, irrespective of human understanding or acceptance. It suggests that encounters with these entities require extreme alertness and an understanding that thoughts may be read. The author expresses a desire to be cooperative and learn from these experiences, while also acknowledging potential constraints on information and the possibility of arbitrary treatment.

Conclusion and Call for Action

The author concludes that humanity is in a serious situation and cannot afford to be guided by lies or misinformation. A responsible policy for collective human action involves gathering, analyzing, and disseminating reliable information about the UFO-Alien presence. The article also notes a perceived deadness in contemporary Christian institutions, suggesting a need for a new stem of truth and love to emerge.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the intersection of UFOlogy, religious prophecy (specifically the Second Coming), and the perceived secrecy of governments regarding extraterrestrial phenomena. The editorial stance is one that strongly advocates for the integration of UFO-Alien data with a specific interpretation of Christianity, viewing the phenomenon as a direct manifestation of end-times events. There is a critical perspective on government policies of suppression and a call for greater transparency and understanding of the UFO-Alien presence as a pivotal element in human history and future destiny.

This document is a scanned issue of "Strange Phenomena Investigations" (SPI), specifically an article titled "SCOTTISH UFOLOGY. AND NEW HORIZONS," authored by Malcolm Robinson, Editor of SPI ENIGMAS. The letter accompanying the article is dated October 2nd, 1993, and is addressed to 'Bonnie,' thanking her for including an advert for ENIGMAS in her newsletter and offering the enclosed article for use.

Scottish UFOlogy and New Horizons

The article delves into various UFO sightings and related phenomena across Scotland, presenting a detailed account of several significant cases and investigative efforts by SPI.

The Forsyth Family Sighting (October 27th, 1992)

The article opens with the account of Patrick Forsyth, who, while driving with his two young sons between Denny and Stirling, witnessed a strange aerial device hovering motionlessly above the road. He described it as a black, 2-tiered object with small green lights. As he approached, the object was obscured by an "instant fog bank" that stretched across the road. Another car also narrowly avoided crashing as it passed through the same phenomenon. After the fog dissipated, the object was gone, but his son Barry reported seeing it shoot across the sky at an incredible rate towards Grangemouth.

Bonnybridge and Stirlingshire Sightings

This incident is presented as one of many in an "incredible series of UFO sightings" in and around Bonnybridge, Stirlingshire, which SPI began investigating in November 1992. The article notes a steady increase in UFO sightings in Scotland since the Livingston Incident of November 9th, 1979. SPI also investigated a wave of sightings in Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway, in 1980-81. While some sightings in the Bonnybridge region were explained as natural phenomena or aircraft, a significant residue of unexplainable reports remained.

Witness Accounts and Object Descriptions

Several witnesses are featured:

• Joyce Byres: A regular witness who described small silver ball-shaped objects making incredible maneuvers, including one she called "Big Bertha," a large oval-shaped object with a structured appendage, which made a noise like a waterfall.
• Elsie Beveridge: A repeater witness who had been observing UFOs for about 18 months. Her first sighting was in 1971 in Glasgow, where she and her daughter saw a silver domed-shaped object that moved upwards at an alarming rate. After moving to Denny, she saw UFOs more regularly and kept a diary. She described craft ranging from domed to cigar shapes, with colored lights, capable of fast movement or hovering.
• Robert Taylor (Livingston Incident): The article provides a brief account of the "Livingston Incident" of November 9th, 1979. Robert Taylor, a forestry worker, encountered what he described as a "spaceship" resting above the grass in Dechmont Woods. Two smaller objects, resembling WWII sea mines, emerged and raced towards him. One extended a rod-like extension onto his trousers, pulling him towards the larger object. Taylor passed out but recalled a "swishing sound" and an acrid smell. The objects were gone upon his regaining consciousness, leaving impressions in the grass. SPI, along with the British UFO Research Association, became involved.

SPI's Involvement and Commemoration

SPI possesses the actual trousers worn by Robert Taylor during the Livingston Incident, which were displayed at a UFO museum in London in July 1993. SPI commemorated the Livingston Incident in May 1992 with the Livingston Development Corporation, erecting a cairn at the site. This was noted as the first such commemoration of a UFO sighting by a research group globally. SPI's aim was to draw attention to the seriousness of the UFO enigma and its effects on witnesses.

Other Sightings and Theories

The article mentions other areas of UFO activity, including "window areas" like Denny in Central Scotland, and the region near Muchalls, between Stonehaven and Aberdeen, where Tom Allen reported seeing strange lights since childhood. SPI is also working on UFO sightings over Mexico City, referencing the video "Messengers Of Destiny." The Bonnybridge sightings included a family being terrorized by a bright object that landed in a field, and another witness describing a "crucifix pattern of lights" on an object's underside.

Malcolm Robinson discusses theories about why some people see more UFOs than others, favoring the idea that some witnesses might be psychic and perceive phenomena beyond normal viewing spectrums or glimpse into different realities. He also touches upon the complexity of the UFO business, its "absurdities," and the ongoing nature of the investigation, noting that Scotland has had a UFO problem for decades without a clear solution.

The UFO Enigma and Future Understanding

Robinson expresses a personal belief that the UFO phenomenon is not yet ready to give up its secrets. He critiques the continuation of abduction reports and cattle mutilations as potentially pointless. He also observes that UFOlogy is becoming more like a religion for some, with UFOs seen as "saviours" or "New Gods." He hopes that when science fully addresses the UFO problem, new horizons will emerge, leading to a better understanding of ourselves and the universe.

The article concludes with a note on the lack of small grey alien reports in the UK compared to the US, and the author's copyright notice for Strange Phenomena Investigations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this article are the persistent nature of UFO phenomena in Scotland, the detailed investigative work of Strange Phenomena Investigations (SPI), the importance of witness testimony, and the enduring mystery surrounding these events. Malcolm Robinson's stance is one of committed, ongoing research, acknowledging the complexities and speculative nature of the subject, while maintaining a critical yet open mind. He emphasizes the need for continued investigation and shared understanding, suggesting that current explanations are insufficient and that a deeper, perhaps unconventional, understanding is required.

This document is a collection of comic strips, primarily from 'The Far Side' by Gary Larson, with one contribution from Ben Wicks. The publication date appears to be around 1982, as indicated by copyright notices. The overall tone is humorous and satirical, focusing on science fiction themes.

Cartoons by Gary Larson

Several 'Far Side' cartoons are presented:

• One strip depicts an alien creature with multiple eyes and tentacles speaking to a human-like figure, with the alien saying, "Veeeeeeery good, Ernie!"
• Another cartoon shows two aliens in space suits, one of whom is holding a jar with a lid, instructing the other, "Now don't forget, Gorok! THIS time punch some holes in the lid!"
• A third cartoon features two aliens in a starry background. One alien states, "Since I don't believe there's life on another planets, I don't believe in flying saucers either!"
• A cartoon shows two figures in space suits, one of whom is being told by the other, "Step on it, Arnold! Step on it!"
• Another strip shows a dark, starry sky with silhouetted alien figures and a spaceship, accompanied by the sound effect "○○○○○○○○○০০০০০০!"
• A cartoon depicts a character resembling the Statue of Liberty holding a flying saucer, with the question, "Well, Zoron. ... Is THIS a close enough look for you?"
• A cartoon shows two figures in a room, one of whom is speaking to another, "I just don't like it, Al... Whenever Billy goes outside, the new neighbors seem compelled to watch every little thing he does."

Cartoon by Ben Wicks

• A cartoon by Ben Wicks features a man holding a TV satellite dish and asking, "THERE'S A LITTLE GUY HERE WHO WANTS TO KNOW IF OUR T.V. SATELLITE DISHES SEND AS WELL AS RECEIVE?"
• Another cartoon by Ben Wicks shows a figure with a large head and antennae looking at a TV screen, with the headline "Do you know where your ET. Is tonight!"

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes are UFOs, aliens, space, and the humorous interpretation of extraterrestrial encounters and human reactions to them. The editorial stance is one of lighthearted satire, using the common tropes of science fiction for comedic effect. There is no overt political or social commentary, beyond the general absurdity of the situations depicted.
