The editor acknowledges that Earthlink is running behind schedule but is working to catch up. Encouraging letters and new readers are boosting morale. Despite postal increases, the UK subscription and individual copy rates have risen, but the magazine's cover price remains 50p. The editor notes that increased UFO activity seems to be happening globally, with a notable event in Harston, Cambridgeshire, on November 29th, 1979, involving objects likened to a railway carriage and a boomerang. The editor encourages readers to send in newspaper reports of UFOs and related subjects, as well as their own experiences, in confidence.

Leys and Orthoteny by Jimmy Goddard

This section reprints an article originally published as a separate magazine in 1968, introducing the concept of ley lines. Alfred Watkins, an amateur archaeologist, discovered that prehistoric sites, such as clumps of trees, ancient churches, mounds, and mark stones, form alignments on maps, which he termed 'leys'. These alignments often connect ancient monuments and can form radiating patterns around 'ley centres'. Watkins' most famous book on the subject is 'The Old Straight Track' (1925). The article details various types of prehistoric sites that can serve as ley points, including mounds, mark stones, and natural hills. It also discusses how churches and castles were often built on ancient sites, potentially indicating ley points. Place names containing 'Cole', 'Dod', 'Black', 'Ley', 'Lye', 'Cross', 'mark', and 'tye' are noted as being significant in ley-hunting. The article suggests that these place names might refer to the 'ley-men', primitive surveyors who built these alignments. The author expresses wonder at how such precise alignments could be achieved without modern tools and maps.

The Mystery of Orthoteny

This section delves into the concept of orthoteny, which are alignments or great circle courses plotted from UFO sightings within a specific period, often during a 'flap' (a concentration of sightings). Aimé Michel, a French scientist, is credited with discovering the first orthoteny during the great French flap of 1954. This initial orthoteny stretched from Cénon through Clermont-Ferrand and Chaudolas to Rome. The article describes several significant orthotenies, including BAVIC, which connects sightings from September 24th, 1954, and has been found to align with subsequent UFO flaps. It also details the discovery of orthotenic centres, such as the one at Poncey-sur-l'Ignon, France, where an object was seen to take off from a field, leaving a 'suction crater'. The article highlights the discovery of a long orthoteny extending from Italy through France to Southend, England, connecting Michel's work with the author's own. The 1954 flap, which ended on October 17th, is considered to have yielded conclusive evidence that UFOs are real and intelligently controlled, raising the question of why they trace these lines.

Leys and Orthotenies in Britain

This section details the connection between leys and orthoteny in Britain, initiated by Tony Wedd's booklet 'Skyways and Landmarks'. It lists and describes various ley and orthotenic centres found across Britain, often correlating with UFO sighting locations. Notable examples include:

• Othery Church, Somerset: Aligns with the Great Isosceles Triangle.
• Marine centre off Mersea Island: Site of a UFO landing.
• Arbor Low stone circle, Derbyshire: Described as the apex of the Great Isosceles Triangle.
• Glastonbury Tor: A significant hill with legends.
• Warminster ley centre: A focal point for UFO activity.
• Godshill church, Isle of Wight: On a UFO-trajectory ley.
• Sunbury Cross: An important crossroads ley centre.
• Hewish church: A mystery due to its age and location on a ley junction.
• "The Deep" in the English Channel: A meeting point for orthotenies and leys, also used for radioactive waste disposal.
• Somerset Zodiac circle: A large ring of zodiac effigies.
• Dunkery Beacon: Aligns with the Bristol-Weston-super-Mare orthoteny.
• Nyland Hill: Centre of the Glastonbury complex.
• Charlton Crater: A headline-making event in 1963, later admitted to be a hoax by some students.

The section also lists numerous specific UFO sightings and their correlation with ley lines and orthotenies, including 'flying train' sightings and twin light UFOs.

Some Interesting Discoveries

This section presents several intriguing findings:

• Leys on Mars?: Analysis of Mariner-IV photographs of the Atlantis region on Mars revealed patterns of 'bright spots' that, when aligned with natural features, formed an isosceles triangle similar to those found in Britain, suggesting a possible extraterrestrial connection.
• Stonehenge: Discovery on Discovery: Stonehenge is identified as a centre of numerous leys, with its stones precisely positioned for astronomical predictions, including eclipses. Carvings on the stones and complex angles forming a seven-point star are also mentioned.
• Visible Ley goes through Mystery Village: An example of a ley that is clearly visible from the air, passing through the village of Everleigh.
• Salisbury Star Map: Doug Chaundy found that the long barrows on Salisbury Plain, when mapped, formed patterns similar to the stars in the northern sky, notably Ursa Major.
• The White Horse Triangles: Chaundy also discovered that four White Horse carvings on Salisbury Plain form an isosceles triangle with a perpendicular, and that lines extending from these triangles align with many UFO sighting points, including those at Scoriton, Coniston, and Stonehenge.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the intricate connections between ancient geographical alignments (ley lines and orthotenies) and UFO sightings. The magazine presents evidence suggesting that UFOs may be intelligently controlled craft that utilize these ancient pathways. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the UFO phenomenon, presenting research and theories that challenge conventional scientific views, particularly in the work of Alfred Watkins and Aimé Michel. The magazine encourages reader participation and the sharing of experiences, indicating a community-focused approach to exploring these subjects.

This issue of Earthlink magazine, dated Autumn '79, focuses on UFO research and related phenomena, with a particular emphasis on Australia and Malaysia. The publication is presented as a platform for sharing information and research within the UFO community.

An Overview of UFO Research in Australia - History and Development

The article details the history of UFO research in Australia, beginning with an early close encounter case reported in 1893 involving a farmer who witnessed a saucer-shaped object and a 'being' that paralyzed his arm. It notes the public discussion of 'airships' in New Zealand in 1909 and the initial perception in Australia in 1947 that the phenomenon was purely American. The global wave of 1954 brought a 'small flap' to Melbourne, Victoria, with daylight sightings of saucer-shaped objects. The article highlights that Australian close encounters of the three types are similar to those found elsewhere in the world. It mentions the efforts of Australian UFO organizations to compile and distribute information, aiming to become a world leader through a computer system.

Government Policy

In Australia, the Department of Defence (Air Force), through the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), is the only government department reportedly interested in UFO reports. Intelligence officers at RAAF bases receive public reports, conduct minor investigations, and forward unknowns to the Department of Defence in Canberra. However, their investigations are considered superficial, and their conclusions 'quite debatable,' likened to the methods of Project Blue Book.

The Phenomenon Itself

Overall View: Australian civilian UFO organizations receive an estimated 1,000 reports annually, with 20-30% remaining as unknowns after initial investigations, comparable to the RAAF's 28% unknown rate in 1977.

Flap Areas: Several areas in Australia have experienced concentrated UFO activity over short periods, including Tully (North Queensland, 1966), Clare (South Australia, 1968), Tyringham (New South Wales, 1973), and North East Tasmania (1974). These flaps often involve local media and community reports, with close encounters of the third kind being documented.

Patterns: Patterns in Australian UFO sightings, particularly in flap areas, follow global trends. Close encounters typically occur at night in isolated rural areas, often involving vehicles. In type 2 close encounters with suspected landings, crop circles have predominantly been found to be rotated anti-clockwise.

Investigations: Investigating organizations exist in all Australian states. In 1973, Professor Hynek's visit led to the establishment of an Australian Co-Ordination Section for the Centre for UFO Studies. A joint conference by ACOS and UFO Research Australia in 1975 aimed to promote cooperation and research, involving respected scientists as consultants. The article notes that Australian UFO research is likely 2-3 years behind the USA but on par with, or ahead of, other countries. The primary obstacles are the government's and parts of the scientific community's apathetic approach, while public and media attitudes have improved significantly due to the efforts of state UFO groups.

We Are a Space Colony

This article by Brinsley Le Poer Trench (Earl of Clancarty) explores the speculative idea that Earth might be a space colony. It references Sir Fred Hoyle's concept of a galactic directory of advanced civilizations and suggests that these civilizations might colonize planets without indigenous life. The author posits that Earth could be one such colony, which might explain the diversity of human races. Evidence cited includes ancient legends and stories of contact with beings from other worlds across various cultures, including China, Japan (Ainu people), North America (Hopi Tribe), and South America (Aztecs, Toltecs, Incas, Mayans). The article also mentions a visit to Hokkaido, Japan, where the Ainu people have traditions of sky-beings bestowing knowledge. The author also references books by David H. Lewis ('From Beyond our Galaxy') and Zecharia Sitchin ('The Twelfth Planet'), which suggest the existence of extraterrestrial life and ancient civilizations.

Physical Beings? Or Is It How We Perceive Them?

Lynne P. Halsall discusses the nature of extraterrestrial beings, questioning whether they are purely physical or exist on a different vibrational frequency. She notes the common puzzle of how beings can appear and disappear, suggesting it might be related to their ability to exist in an 'etheric world' or dematerialize at will. The article posits that matter is simply a denser vibration and that our perception is limited by our own vibrational state. It suggests that beings from more refined vibrational frequencies might find it difficult to interact with our dense physical world, explaining their abrupt disappearances. The author encourages readers to consider the energy of all life and how it vibrates, suggesting that our perception can be clouded by our own vibrational state.

Note from 'Helios News'

A communication from Jamie, dated August 11, 1979, advises focusing less on the material world and more on spiritualization and harmony with true being, which offers everything needed. It emphasizes seeing awareness in all things and people.

Humanoid Encounters in Malaysia

This article by Ahmad Jamaludin details UFO occupant or 'humanoid' encounters in Malaysia, noting that these entities vary in shape and size globally. However, Malaysian reports consistently describe tiny entities, measuring from 3 to 6 inches tall, a type that has been consistent since at least 1897. These tiny humanoids are described as wearing one-piece suits, sometimes with larger heads and round eyes, and occasionally with antenna-like structures. While other countries have reports of more diverse humanoids, Malaysia's focus on tiny beings is unique. The article lists several alleged encounters, mostly occurring in broad daylight and often near school compounds. These include:

• Case 1 (Johore Bahru, 1970): Four boys saw a small UFO and tiny creatures; a burnt patch was found.
• Case 2 (Gambang, 1973): Two schoolboys saw 3-inch humanoids; one was briefly caught.
• Case 3 (Bukit Mertajam, 1973): Boys saw a small UFO land, and a creature emerged; one boy was hit by a light beam.
• Case 4 (Ipoh, 1973): A small UFO with tiny humanoids landed; teachers arrived too late to see it.
• Case 5 (Miri, Sarawak, 1973): Boys saw a 6-inch humanoid cutting wire with a light beam.
• Case 6 (Miri, Sarawak, 1973): Several people saw a group of tiny beings in white suits on the beach.
• Case 7 (Bukit Mertajam, 1979): A boy tried to catch a 3-inch creature from a landed UFO, which fired a beam paralyzing his arm.

Of the nine reported landings or encounters, seven occurred in daylight. The UFOs sighted close to the ground were generally less than 3 feet in diameter, while those sighted in the air were often large. The article questions why Malaysian encounters are predominantly tiny and occur in the daytime, unlike global reports. It also notes that UFOs seem attracted to areas of high seismic activity, and Malaysia, being an earthquake-free country, might lack the gravitational or magnetic anomalies that attract UFOs, potentially explaining the tiny size of the craft and occupants for maneuverability.

An Unusual Contactee - Part III

This is the concluding part of the experiences of a young man referred to as 'Bob', who has had contact with unknown intelligencies, possibly extraterrestrial, since childhood, with increased activity in the last four years. Bob describes his experiences as akin to his mind acting as a television receiver for broadcasts from an outside source. He receives information through 'dreams' and 'day-dreams', often in color, and sometimes during his awake state. He notes that the recognizable letters, numbers, and symbols he receives raise questions about the origin of these broadcasts, suggesting either his own mind or deliberate interference from an outside source.

Other 'Visions in the Mind'

Bob's 'dreams' and 'day-dreams' include:

• A dream of being in a spacecraft with four crew members, asked questions about himself.
• A dream of large, domed glass-houses with dark-skinned people speaking Norwegian, living in communes.
• A day-dream of being a prisoner on a planet with a 36-hour clock and 10 lunar days per week, with a complex daily schedule including commercial space travel.
• Experiences of seeing more planets and crafts travelling into space-time, leading him to muse about traveling to another world.

Peculiar Incidents

These are events Bob claims happened in his awake state:

• (1) M11 Motorway Incident: Bob stopped his car and witnessed two silvery beams of light emanating from a transparent object, trailing pinkish smoke. The object and beams passed under a bridge, followed by a rumbling noise and a slight wind, before vanishing. He noted the absence of other vehicles and stars.
• (2) Bath Incident: While taking a bath, Bob experienced two parallel beams of pulsating whitish light striking his chest, described as having 'black hooks pointing downwards.' He felt pushed down and experienced an electrical shock.
• (3) Debden Airport Incident: Bob observed a pinkish object hovering above the ground. As he approached, the object appeared to increase in size and heat. It had nine beams of parallel tubes and a black triangle with numbers that moved. A later communication mentioned a black object with a 'tailplane' behind a jet plane.
• (4) Theatre Incident: Bob reported moving his mind out of his body to view himself from a different position, experiencing a significant energy drain.
• (5) Bedroom Vibrations: Bob experienced waves of pressure, black and white lines falling through the ceiling, and a sensation of being lifted or tilted upwards, accompanied by a 'whirling sensation' and 'quivering effect.'
• (6) Window Beams: Bob saw two parallel beams of blue light descend through his window, striking a dressing table mirror and making objects glitter. He felt he was being picked up head first.
• (7) Cricket Bat Object: Bob was awoken by a voice explaining 'their' language, while a 'cricket bat-shaped object' passed over his house.
• (8) Flashes and Static: Bob reported seeing bright flashes of light, hearing electrical sounds, and experiencing a 'static field' near the TV or radio.
• (9) Being Encounter: Bob witnessed an electrical buzzing noise and a voice. A tall 'being' in a black suit with a yellow vest appeared, its face bluish with wear and tear. The being communicated telepathically, stating, 'We know who you are. We have all the information about you.' The encounter was not frightening, and the being disappeared through a wall.

Conclusions: The author notes the difficulty in finding answers to Bob's experiences and has consulted other ufologists. Bob has come to terms with the events, and the message from the being suggests more may be to come. The latest information from Bob indicates he is still seeing symbols and numbers, with a persistent scene of a landscape with a mountain range and two moons.

Contacted Individuals: Lucius Farish, Stephen Jenkins, John B. Longhorn, and Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle were contacted for insights.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the investigation of UFO phenomena, particularly in Australia and Malaysia, the nature of extraterrestrial beings (physical vs. vibrational), and detailed accounts of contactee experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and information sharing within the UFO research community, encouraging readers to consider the evidence and draw their own conclusions. The magazine acts as a conduit for reports and research from various individuals and organizations in the field.

This issue of Earthlink magazine, dated Autumn 1979, focuses on a variety of topics related to UFO phenomena, astronomy, and potential future events. The cover highlights 'Writings & drawings', showcasing a collection of symbols, diagrams, and maps, suggesting a deep dive into the symbolic language associated with UFO encounters. The magazine includes several witness accounts of sightings, an analysis of the 'Jupiter Effect' theory concerning a 1982 planetary alignment, and discussions on solar activity and Earth's magnetic field.

Case Study: Bob's Experiences

The issue details the experiences of an individual referred to as 'Bob', whose case is described as a 'High Strangeness case'. Bob has reportedly seen projections of entities and experienced a mild laser beam-type light aimed at him. His writings and drawings are analyzed, with suggestions that they may be related to ancient characters like Oriental or Cabbalistic symbols, potentially holding a key to understanding the phenomena. Mr. John B. Longhorn, who studied Bob's case, believed Bob to be a sincere, intelligent person under some sort of control, and noted Bob's psychic abilities and high sensitivity, which could make him easily influenced.

Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle showed interest in Bob's case and suggested hypnotic regression, which Bob ultimately rejected. While Sprinkle was impressed by Bob's sincerity, he could not offer definitive answers from the initial study of the writings. An outside influence is believed to be at work, with Bob's case potentially being part of a 'preparation' for a future task.

UFO Sightings in Essex and Beyond

The magazine features a section on 'Local UFO Sightings', primarily from the Essex area.

• Clacton, September 12, 1978: An aircraft was paced by an unknown object. Two witnesses observed a four-engined jet aircraft and a dark circular object, estimated to be half the diameter of the aircraft's tail, which was dark brown or grey and metallic. The object performed a 180-degree turn with the aircraft and then rapidly accelerated southwards.
• Brightlingsea, December 29, 1978: Andrew Fairminer witnessed a black oval object with a 'stream of lights' that disappeared rapidly.
• Harold Wood, June 14, 1979: Mrs. Hall reported a grey discoid object with numerous green lights and a red glow, estimated to be the size of a cluster of chimney-pots, moving slowly.
• Bexleyheath, August 11, 1979: Mrs. Fry's grandchildren observed a bright, silver-grey oval object darting erratically across the sky.
• Frating/Weeley, September 28, 1979: Miss Beryl Chalmers reported a bright, 'blood-orange' light pacing her car, which then experienced engine trouble.
• Park Mead, Harlow, April 6, 1980: Mrs. Mills and her daughter saw a large round object with flickering white lights moving northwards.

Investigations into the Clacton sighting involved contacting various military and aviation authorities, none of whom could provide corroborative information.

The 'Jupiter Effect' and Planetary Alignment

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to analyzing the 'Jupiter Effect' theory, as proposed by Gribbin & Plagemann. This theory predicts that a planetary alignment in 1982, where all planets lie on one side of the Sun, will cause extreme solar activity, leading to potential earthquakes and other cataclysms. The article critically examines this theory, citing impressive credentials for the authors but questioning their conclusions.

• Refutation of the Theory: The article highlights that past alignments (e.g., 179 years prior) did not correlate with exceptional solar activity. It also points out that Jupiter's tidal force on the Sun is minuscule and that the planets will not be perfectly aligned in 1982 but spread over a 60-degree arc.
• Solar Activity: The article notes that the Sun is currently approaching a periodic maximum of activity, independent of any planetary alignment. It also discusses the potential impact of solar activity on Earth's weather, referencing the Little Ice Age.
• Earth's Magnetic Field: The issue touches upon the decreasing strength of Earth's magnetic field and the potential for a switch-over point, which could leave the planet vulnerable to solar radiation and affect climate.
• Seismic Activity: The article disputes the link between solar storms and earthquakes, citing evidence that shows no correlation.
• Patrick Moore's View: Quoting Patrick Moore from 'New Scientist', the article dismisses the 'Jupiter Effect' as 'nonsense', stating that nothing spectacular is expected.

Heavenly News and Other Items

• Solar Activity Predictions: Information from the BBC suggests that the current 1980 solar maximum is predicted to be the second highest recorded since c.1700.
• Earth's Magnetic Field: A BBC TV program 'Magnet Earth' is mentioned, discussing the decreasing strength of the Earth's magnetic field and its potential effects.
• Halley's Comet: The re-appearance of Halley's Comet in 1986 is expected to be a disappointment due to its approach from the 'wrong' side of the Sun.

Letters to the Editor

The letters section includes correspondence from:

• Mrs. J. Hackman: Expresses gratitude for Earthlink and shares a recollection of her late husband's interest in UFOs, including a purported quote from the Apollo Moon landing about 'footprints' and someone having been there before.
• A correspondent (22nd May, 1980): Urges the magazine to publicize the 'Borup's Teachings' and 'The Voice From Heaven', describing UFOs as 'Older, Wiser Brothers' here to help humanity survive. The correspondent also offers books related to spiritual teachings and space travel.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs), the interpretation of symbolic writings and drawings associated with these phenomena, and speculative theories about future cosmic events like the 'Jupiter Effect'. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, presenting witness accounts and theories while also providing counterarguments and skeptical viewpoints, particularly regarding the 'Jupiter Effect'. The magazine encourages readers to consider the evidence and wait for further developments, emphasizing a need for respect rather than alarm when dealing with unusual cases.

Title: EARTHLINK
Issue: Autumn '79
Volume: 3
Date: Autumn 1979
Publisher: The Universariun Foundation

This issue of EARTHLINK presents a blend of spiritual messages, prophecies, and UFO reports from various global locations. The cover headline highlights "the greatest threat" as "institutional inertia and individual blindness," a concept attributed to Ronald Higgins.

Letters and Comments

Mrs. F.B. Muller, in a letter, introduces "United Friends of Earth" and mentions an urgent call from "High Beings" to distribute a booklet widely. She also includes a postscript about the booklet.

Mrs. G. Saville, in her comment, finds the enclosed "'Space' publications" to be convincing and believes they were channeled by "Beings from higher planes." She notes that these messages consistently provide warnings and predictions, citing Gillon of Ashtar Command's speech in November 1977 as an example. She quotes from "Journey in Space with Alizantil," emphasizing the importance of spiritual perception.

Reviews

Several publications are reviewed:

• BORUP'S SPIRITUAL SCHOOL - Important Message to Mankind: This book offers spiritual revelations from a Swedish Light Centre concerning world upheavals, changes, and the Second Coming of Christ, with a focus on the role of Flying Saucers. It is described as thought-provoking and disturbing.
• THE VOICE FROM HEAVEN - Important Message to Mankind: Similar to Borup's work, this publication provides detailed information and predictions. It emphasizes the "SECOND COMING OF CHRIST" as a manifestation of "My Spiritual Force on earth," which will be accompanied by a physical appearance and a strong spiritual force from the Universe, given directly by God. It also mentions simultaneous physical appearances from other inhabited planets, whose beings possess high spiritual qualities to elevate Earth's spiritual level. The text stresses the interconnectedness of destruction in the microcosm and macrocosm, stating that interference is not tolerated but help is offered. It explains that intervention is limited by universal laws and that humanity must reach a point of no return before help can be fully provided. The message conveys that "We are prepared, so that We can come with lightening speed to any place where help is needed, and WE'RE COMING." The publication also predicts the imminent arrival of many Flying Saucers, including formations, for "demonstrational flights" to make humanity aware of other realities.
• JOURNEY IN SPACE with ALIZANTIL by Frank Howard: This book is described as an unusual and delightful narrative about a cruise around Earth and to other planes with Space friends Alizantil and Elanza. It covers topics like other space peoples, Earth's future, and deep spiritual wisdom. It is recommended as a favorite 'Space' book.
• THE VOICE OF UNIVERSARIUS: This magazine (July 1978 issue) is a question-and-answer format featuring communications from High Beings like Kuthumi, Lord Michael, and Hilarion, offering advanced knowledge.
• UNITED FRIENDS OF EARTH by Phrado through the Channelship of Lucille McNames: This book is highly recommended for distribution, offering future predictions and scientific explanations of UFOs, their energy sources, and the nature of light. The preface states that the messages were published serially and are vital for Earth's inhabitants, enabling preparation for "OPERATION DELIVERANCE." The validity of the channel's information is attested by those with engineering backgrounds.
• THE NEW AGE TESTAMENT OF LIGHT: This book provides basic spiritual truths and laws in an encyclopedic format, along with grim messages and predictions for the near future. It is available for free.

UFO Reports and Sightings

Several UFO incidents and sightings are reported:

• UFOS IN SCOTLAND: A letter from Mr. Affleck describes his landlady's sighting of a bright, vivid red, glowing object near Alexandria, Scotland, in January 1980. The object moved at terrific speed and followed a definite curve, with no sound. Mr. Affleck believes it was not a meteor.
• "Scottish Triangle" Flap: A newspaper-reported 'flap' in the "Scottish Triangle" area of Glasgow-Moffat-Edinburgh is mentioned.
• UFOS ABROAD:
• Belgium: A luminous object was reportedly visible for seven hours over the Beauvechain military air base in southern Belgium in January 1980. The military imposed secrecy, initially suggesting it was a satellite, but the Space Institute denied this possibility. Eye-witness accounts described a spherical object with a luminous, color-changing ring. This is noted as potentially the first UFO observation by Belgian military personnel.
• Greenland: Since the beginning of 1979, residents along Greenland's west coast have reported seeing bright objects in the sky, including twin flying objects, oval vehicles with lighted portholes, and a luminescent object hovering and changing shape. Meteorologists suggested atmospheric phenomena, but Greenlanders remain unconvinced.
• Perú: An incident is reported where an individual with a "metallic and resounding voice" touched a car driver, leaving his skin bleached in the shape of a handprint. Engineer Ermanno Maniero of APRO suggests UFOs move at speeds higher than light via dematerialization. Photographs of flying saucers taken in Perú, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Brazil are mentioned. A specific photograph from Perú in 1977 is noted. In 1974, the body of a strange being was found in Ryzl lake, Uzbekistan.
• Palpa, Peru: A fleet of eight alleged flying saucers emitted colored lights for five minutes, causing panic among residents. This was the first time UFOs were seen in that town.

Errata and Quote

An errata section corrects previous issues regarding "The (Space) Message" and "Prophecy." A quote from Dr. C.H. Yeang states that "Chasing UFOs is just going after the rainbow, where there are plenty of pictures but no substance: All UFOs are astral and they change from one dimension to another at the speed of light....."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the intersection of spiritual beliefs and UFO phenomena, the concept of "High Beings" communicating messages to humanity, and the anticipation of significant global changes, including the "Second Coming of Christ." The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various perspectives and reports from different sources, including contactees, researchers, and news agencies. There is a clear emphasis on spiritual development and preparing for future events, as well as a critical view of "institutional inertia and individual blindness" as obstacles to progress.
