Key Articles and Reports

Crashed UFOs: A Survey of World Cases

Robert Barry's article delves into the history of crashed UFO reports, noting the shift in public perception and the emergence of terms like "close encounters." He discusses incidents from 1947 to 1978, including the recovery of alien bodies. Specific cases highlighted include:

• Madagascar Episode: A UFO exploded and crashed in Fort Dauphin, confirmed by the Interior Ministry, but no follow-up reports were released.
• Peru: A crash north of Lima in the 1970s, with the object recovered by officials.
• Chinese Incident: Reports of UFO sightings in China in 1980, and a downed space craft impacting in 1973, with another crashing in a lake in 1974. The article suggests China has since researched and duplicated such technology.

The author posits that the US government suppresses foreign UFO crash reports for national security reasons, while acknowledging that numerous cases have occurred within the United States (Arizona, California, Kansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania). The article claims that 30 to 34 alien cadavers are held in "deep freeze" at major US military bases.

Survival of Aliens

Barry argues that not all aliens in crashed craft would have died, and some may have survived. A notable case from New Mexico in 1962 involved a spacecraft that crashed near Holloman Air Force Base. The craft was 56 feet in diameter and 15 feet high. Two occupants were found: one dead, the other alive but injured. An attempt was made to communicate with the surviving alien, who was 42 inches tall, but the alien later died. The bodies were sent to a university medical hospital. The article also mentions NASA's 1978 attempt to contact airborne UFOs in the Peruvian Andes.

Foreign News Reports and US Media Silence

The article criticizes the US media for its silence on foreign UFO crash cases, suggesting that the US government controls the influx of such information. It cites a Spanish news agency report about a NASA project in Latin America that was not published in US papers.

The Hawaiian Affair

An incident in Hawaii in 1944 involved a crashed space craft and the retrieval of surviving aliens by the Navy CB unit. The aliens were taken to a Naval Hospital.

Survival in Louisiana

In 1953, a mysterious craft crashed in Louisiana, and three surviving aliens were taken away by ambulance.

Poland Encounter

On February 21, 1959, dock workers in Gdynia, Poland, witnessed a UFO plunge into the harbor. Divers retrieved metal debris. A strange, injured being was found, and after examination, it was discovered to have unusual organs and a different number of fingers. The alien died when an armband was removed and its body was sent to the Soviet Union.

Cybernetically Equipped Alien

In June 1978, a government source discussed an attempt to communicate with a humanoid with cybernetic equipment in 1965. The alien could read minds, but communication failed. The source cryptically referred to this as an accident and refused further details.

Ohio/Mexican Cases

Reports mention a live space alien being held in captivity at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in the early 1970s. In August 1977, a UFO crashed in Mexico's Sierra Madre Mountains, with humanoid beings emerging. Nearly 200 Mexican Army soldiers searched for survivors, and two aliens reportedly died later.

The Argentine UFOs

A declassified Argentinian document describes Navy airplanes sighting unidentified objects, and a "disc or a luminous and round object orange in color" was observed. This led to the establishment of a secret commission to evaluate UFO sightings.

11th Century UFO Report from China

John Brent Musgrave recounts a report from Shen Kua's "Dream Pool Essays" (circa 1086) describing a large, bright 'pearl' seen near Yang-chou, which emitted intense light and flew off over a lake.

Synopsis of "A Cosmic Dialogue"

This section details Edwin's alleged 22-year contact with extraterrestrials from the planet Koldas, part of a Confederation of Twelve Planets. The extraterrestrials, led by Valdar, claim to come in peace and have visited Earth since Atlantean times. They communicate via radio, with Edwin's group recording over a thousand transmissions. The Confederation invites Earth to join them, offering technology and knowledge, but warns of aggressive 'Outer Worlds' that threaten both their civilization and Earth. The narrative includes details about Valdar's interactions, a wedding on Koldas, and a warning about potential global catastrophes and shifts in Earth's axis.

Further points of interest from this section include:

• News of Edwin's experiences eventually reached the local press, attracting attention.
• Edwin and Carl van Vlierden taped hundreds of radio messages for a book titled "A Cosmic Dialogue."
• Edwin's radio was confiscated by South African police in 1979, who later denied involvement.
• Telepathy is presented as a superior communication method to radio.
• Walter Pople, a scientist, experienced telepathy when Valdar commented on his thoughts.
• The Confederation reportedly operates in about 17 other countries.
• The narrative mentions Valdar and Zorottus meeting and contrasting their approaches.
• Operation Fire-Ball is a plan for world catastrophe.
• The true story of Mars is revealed: its barren state is due to a nuclear conflict 5000 years ago.
• The concept of 'worlds and anti-worlds' is discussed, with Earth in the first universe and the Confederation/Outer Worlds in the second (antimatter) universe.
• A distress call from a spaceship is intercepted, mentioning George Adamski.
• An alien spacecraft is captured, revealing sinister plans for Earth.
• Valdar describes the mental conditioning for faster-than-light space travel.
• The narrative ends with a talk with 'Vax Noah', a High Superior of the Confederation, who mentions ancient prophets and modern 'prophets' like Valdar.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are crashed UFOs, alien encounters, government secrecy, and extraterrestrial communication. The magazine appears to present these accounts with a degree of seriousness, aiming to inform readers about alleged phenomena that are not widely reported by mainstream media. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into the UFO subject, providing a platform for various reports and perspectives, while acknowledging the controversial nature of the topic.

This issue of "Earthlink" magazine, dated July 1982, focuses on a variety of UFO and extraterrestrial-related phenomena, presenting witness accounts, investigative reports, and case studies from around the world. The content spans alleged alien communications, sightings of unexplained craft, and mysterious disappearances and deaths attributed to unknown entities.

Radio Communication with Spacecraft

The lead article details the case of Edwin, who reportedly received communications from 'spacecraft' via a modified radio receiver. Carl van Vlierden, a UFO investigator, clarifies that the radio was a standard transistorised tuner, but the antenna was specially connected to the audio frequency stage, bypassing the radio frequency stage. This meant the transmissions were purely audio energy, with no interference and powered by a beamed 12-volt supply. The 'Confederation' could interrupt normal VHF reception at will. Other communication methods, such as messages inserted into tape recordings, are also mentioned, including a message from 'Commander Taylanz' of the 'Confederation of Twelve Planets' detailing their travels and the importance of stable magnetic fields.

UFOs on the Local Scene (Southern Africa)

This section highlights UFO activity in Southern Africa, referencing a new paperback by Cynthia Hind titled "UFOs: African Encounters." It also touches upon the Elizabeth Klarer story of contact with alien beings and Mrs. Hind's extensive involvement in UFO research, building a worldwide network of contacts. Mrs. Hind's current stance is that UFOs are definitely not terrestrial but their origins remain unknown.

UFO Sighting in Holland, 1944

Phyllis R. Moonie reports on an unusual craft seen in Holland during WWII, prior to the widespread use of the terms 'flying saucer' or 'UFO'. The witness, Leslie Grant, described a large grey object, approximately 100 ft. in diameter, with a dome on top and resting on three tripod legs. The object was silent and immobile. When Grant and his companion attempted to approach it, an invisible force stopped them about 75 ft. away. Grant initially suspected it was a German secret weapon, and the barrier felt like pushing against rubber.

A Close Encounter of the Third Kind Near Woodbridge, Suffolk?

Dot Street recounts an alleged UFO landing in Rendlesham Forest in early 1981. Brenda Butler gathered information from several people who claimed to have witnessed a UFO landing with three legs and 'entities' interacting with the craft. Communication between these 'entities' and personnel from the nearby USAF base at RAF Bentwaters was also reported. An attempt to investigate with the Base Commander proved inconclusive, with the Commander denying knowledge but giving the impression of knowing more. A later anonymous tip led to the alleged landing site, and a Forestry Commission employee reported that on January 1st, a man had spoken to a farmer who heard a loud noise and saw a bright light, prompting an investigation by RAF Woodbridge that lasted about four hours. Witnesses were reportedly told to keep quiet.

The Mutilation Mystery: Some Further Cases

This section presents two cases related to UFOs and potential harm to humans or animals.

1. Kenley, Surrey, England (December 25-26, 1977): Young Keith Lane and his friend Robert Big witnessed UFOs and disc-shaped craft. On Christmas Day, Keith encountered a 6-7 ft. tall 'man' in a silver suit near his home. The next morning, his guinea pig was found dead with deep claw marks. Later, two small people, copies of the tall 'man', were seen looking through his window. Keith later disposed of the guinea pig, and an autopsy was not performed. Roy Fisher investigated and found a circular mark on the aerodrome, and a dead fox with a neat cut through the ribs.
2. Parnarama, Brazil (October 17 & 19, 1981): Residents lived in terror due to UFO attacks. Four men were killed. Abel Boro was hunting when a bright star-like object descended, hovered over him, and emitted a light that caused him to shake with fear. His body was found the next morning, entirely white, with no blood, described as being 'sucked' by a 'space vampire.' Two other hunters, Raimundo Souza and Anastacio Barbosa, witnessed a similar event where Souza was killed by a deadly ray. Jose Vitorio also died after an UFO struck him with a light beam. The police chief noted that blood had been sucked from the bodies.

UFOs: A Load of Baloney?

Lionel Beer discusses the subject of UFOs, refuting the idea that they are simply 'baloney.' He highlights the scientific study of UFOs and mentions prominent figures like Lord Kings Norton, President of BUFORA, and the 'House of Lords All-Party UFO Study Group.' The article touches upon efforts to obtain information through the Freedom of Information Act and mentions rumours of crashed UFOs and alien occupants near Roswell Air Force Base.

Abduction: The Malaysian Syndrome

This section details several abduction cases from Malaysia:

• Missing Soldier (January 25, 1982): An 18-year-old soldier vanished from duty and is believed to have been abducted by 'Bunian People,' who are thought to abduct people and return them after several days with reports of being given delicious food.
• Twice-Missing Housewife (January 27, 1982): Zainab Hussein disappeared for four days, also believed to be abducted by 'Bunian People.' This was her second disappearance, the first being on January 4, 1982. She reportedly had a strong urge to leave home and suffered from sleep difficulties.
• Girl's Lost Hours (July 25, 1981): A 16-year-old girl lost consciousness and woke up hours later in a building miles away. She reported seeing a dark figure and a foul odour. The case was classified as kidnapping.
• Late Train Mystery (July 25, 1981): The night mail train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur was inexplicably 30 minutes late due to a supposed lack of fuel, despite carrying ample fuel.

Interview with Juri Lina

This interview with Juri Lina, an Estonian journalist and ufologist, reveals the difficulties faced by nonconformists in totalitarian states. Lina's interest in UFOs began in 1969-70 after witnessing a cigar-shaped object. He faced KGB scrutiny for his underground publishing activities on UFOs and parapsychology, leading to the end of his journalism career. He was threatened with a mental hospital and forced to take a night watch job. Despite this, he continued to write and publish articles secretly.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the prevalence of UFO sightings and alleged alien encounters across different continents, the mysterious nature of these phenomena, and the challenges faced by witnesses and investigators in obtaining credible information, often encountering official denial or secrecy. The magazine appears to present these cases with a degree of seriousness, encouraging further investigation and acknowledging the complexity and often unexplainable nature of UFO reports. The editorial stance seems to be one of open-minded inquiry into these phenomena, while also acknowledging the need for scientific study and critical evaluation.

This issue of "Earthlink" (No. 23, Jan-April 1982) is a UFO-focused publication that also delves into related topics such as human rights, government secrecy, and scientific theories surrounding unexplained phenomena. The magazine features interviews, news reports, and book reviews, presenting a variety of perspectives on UFOs and their implications.

Interview with a Former Soviet Citizen

The issue begins with an interview with an individual who escaped from Esthonia and the USSR. He recounts the dangers of living under the Soviet regime, where not working for two months could lead to imprisonment, and a second offense could result in being sent to Siberia. He mentions the case of Veacheslav Zaitsev, a Russian UFO-researcher who was reportedly sent to Siberia for five years for quoting the Bible in his research. The interviewee details his own escape from Esthonia in 1979, facilitated by friends from Finland who arranged a marriage of convenience. He later moved to Sweden and has been publishing material, primarily for the USA. He also recounts a threatening encounter with a KGB man in Stockholm in February 1981, who warned him to stop his activities or face death.

He describes his positive UFO experience on November 24, 1974, where he and two friends witnessed a strange red light and a diffused glow in the woods, followed by a green ball of light passing overhead. This experience left him with an inner feeling of being protected.

UFO News and Events Around the World

Legal Battle Over UFOs

This section reports on Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist, who is taking his case to the U.S. Supreme Court to prove the existence of aliens and flying saucers. Friedman aims to show that UFOs have been seen over an armed forces base in Ontario and is involved in a legal battle for the release of 131 top-secret UFO reports held by the U.S. National Security Agency. Despite previous court decisions upholding the classification of these documents for national security reasons, Friedman is pursuing the case. He claims to have evidence of a craft that crashed in 1947 and alien bodies. Friedman is collaborating with author William L. Moore on a book about the cover-up and predicts that "we will all see aliens before 1990."

Secret UFOs

This report discusses a decision by the American Supreme Court that the Bureau for National Security is not obligated to publish secret information on unidentified flying objects. This decision ends a legal battle initiated by 'Citizens against secrecy on UFOs,' who based their claim on the Freedom of Information Act. The Supreme Court upheld the federal judge's arguments, which referenced the law on the security of the United States.

UFO Brain-Wash

Stan Deyo, an American-born scientist living in Perth, Australia, claims that flying saucers are real and a U.S. government military secret. He asserts that the technology behind UFOs is far beyond conventional fuel capabilities and is being suppressed by the U.S. Government and big business. Deyo alleges he learned U.S. military secrets during a hypnotic training course at the U.S. Air Force Academy, where his mind was controlled. He states that after two years, the entire class failed, and he is now speaking out for protection and to inform the world. The disappearance of pilot Frederick Valentich and his distress calls about UFOs prompted Deyo to share his story. He has compiled extensive research from scientific institutions and believes anti-gravity propulsion is a fact. Deyo claims that companies like General Electric and Bell Aircraft were researching anti-gravity as early as the fifties. He also mentions that William P. Lear was a strong supporter of the anti-gravity UFO theory. Deyo's work led to interest from the F.B.I., and he later left America due to an "intelligence war" between the F.B.I. and C.I.A., fearing for his life.

UFOs at 24,000ft. Tracked by Perth Radar

This news brief reports on unidentified flying objects tracked by radar at Perth international airport. Air traffic controllers observed three instances between 8 am and 11 am. A 12-year-old girl reported seeing four objects changing color. The UFOs were tracked at a height of over 24,000 feet, disappearing at over 60,000 feet. No aircraft or weather balloons were in the area to explain the sightings. A Royal Australian Air Force jet was sent up but sighted nothing.

Mystery Ball of Rock from the Heavens

This report details an incident in Maidenhead, Berkshire, where an unknown object crashed into a garden path on February 13, 1982. Witnesses described a "ball of fire" and a glowing, jagged object emitting smoke. Firemen found a smoldering, football-sized, rock-like substance. The object was taken for analysis to a top-secret forensic laboratory. Later, "Earthlink" was informed that the analysis showed it to be "a ball of sodium left out in the rain," though this explanation was met with skepticism by witnesses.

Comment on Skyfalls

Gloria Saville, Asst. Editor, discusses skyfalls, suggesting that physical objects and UFOs can materialize and dematerialize, defying scientific laws. She references Charles Fort's cataloging of unexplained phenomena, including reports of strange rains and falling stones. Saville posits that some skyfalls may originate from other dimensions. She also mentions Uri Geller's experiences with materialized objects and Peggy Mason's accounts of fresh flowers materializing.

The Mario Luisi Contact Experience

This report details an encounter by Mario Luisi, a 36-year-old mill-worker, on November 21, 1980. While walking in a field, he saw a strange craft hovering off the ground. He then encountered a man and a woman who emitted a flash of light from a pencil-like object, damaging his lamp. The beings, described as having pale faces and blonde hair, spoke perfect English and told him they came in peace. The craft then lifted off vertically and vanished. Luisi experienced shock symptoms and stomach pains. Psychological tests found him normal, but his belief in UFOs was boosted.

Some Scottish UFO Reports

This section briefly mentions a sighting by Mrs. M. McMillan and her daughter on April 17, 1981, of a curious object with a blue light and windows moving above trees.

Eight Policemen Saw Them: Tremendous UFOs Over Hessen

On March 15, 1982, eight police officers in Darmstadt, West Germany, reported seeing five UFOs emitting yellow-green flashes. They described a large, yellow-green flying disc joined by four additional white flying discs. The UFOs disappeared, and during the event, the police station experienced flickering lights, TV screen movement, and radio link failure. U.S. forces in the Rhein/Main area located the UFOs on radar, with a U.S. spokesman stating it was a "military secret."

The Ufologic Confusion

This brief commentary notes the diverse and often conflicting interpretations of UFO phenomena by researchers worldwide, from extraterrestrial visitors to imaginary abductions and elemental beings.

Book Reviews

"Mystery of the Skymen" by Commander Alvin E. Moore

This review discusses Commander Moore's book, which explores UFO phenomena beyond the typical extraterrestrial hypothesis. Moore, with an extensive academic and professional background, presents theories on "skymen" (ufonauts) who have been visiting Earth for thousands of years, possibly from "skyislands" orbiting Earth. His theories suggest these beings exploit Earth's resources and have caused various disasters and accidents. The review finds Moore's work to be a welcome change from standard UFO publications, offering a comprehensive physical explanation for many phenomena, though the "skyisland" concept is noted as objectionable by some. The review concludes that Moore's work is highly recommended for those interested in UFOs and related mysteries.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena with government secrecy and the suppression of information. There is a strong undercurrent of distrust towards official explanations and a belief that significant truths about UFOs are being deliberately hidden. The publication also highlights individual experiences and scientific investigations that challenge conventional understanding, suggesting a broader, possibly interdimensional, aspect to UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations and question official narratives.

This issue of the magazine features reviews of two significant books on UFO phenomena: "UFOS AFRICAN ENCOUNTERS" by Cynthia Hind and "ALIEN CONTACT: WINDOW ON ANOTHER WORLD" by Jenny Randles & Paul Whetnall. The magazine is dated 1982, published by Gemini in Zimbabwe, and priced at 'Not stated' for the first book and £5.25 for the second.

Book Review: "UFOS AFRICAN ENCOUNTERS" by Cynthia Hind

The review praises Cynthia Hind's work as the best to date concerning UFO reports on the African continent. Hind, a dedicated investigator, is noted for visiting witnesses and their locations in nearly 90% of cases. Her reporting style is described as enjoyable, with an intention to present facts objectively. While she believes UFOs are not terrestrial and witnesses see "solid hardware," she allows readers to form their own conclusions.

Several cases from the book are highlighted, including those of Elizabeth Klarer and Edwin. Elizabeth Klarer claims to have ridden in a UFO to its Mothership, met 'space people,' and was chosen for a breeding experiment, resulting in a 'spaceman's child.' Hind comments on Klarer's sincerity and her own unexplainable experience. Edwin's experience, previously detailed in the magazine, is further explored, with Hind present during a 1977 radio broadcast where a 'space commander' spoke. Hind concludes that Edwin's account is not a hoax, noting a recurring 'space' message: "all the time: change your world, stop the bomb or else!"

The book is said to contain many well-known African cases as well as new ones, with physical trace and photographic analysis where possible. It is highly recommended for its excellent, detailed appendixes, bibliography, and index.

N.B. Cynthia Hind's book can be purchased for £2.95 from Ms. Susanne Stebbing.

Book Review: "ALIEN CONTACT: WINDOW ON ANOTHER WORLD" by Jenny Randles & Paul Whetnall

This book is described as a true story of Close Encounters of The Third Kind involving the Sunderland family of North Wales, starting from 1976. The family, comprising Mr. and Mrs. Sunderland and their five children, are presented as 'normal' but possessing incredible psychic gifts.

Gaynor, aged 9 in 1976, was the first to encounter a landed UFO and its aliens, an experience that was highly traumatic under hypnotic regression. She became friendly with two aliens, Arna and Parz. Her younger brothers, Darren (8) and Barry (6), also encountered landed UFOs and aliens that summer, under similar circumstances but with different types of aliens and UFOs.

The children reportedly had incredible adventures with their alien friends, visiting alien realms and meeting strange creatures. They also experienced out-of-the-body and other psychic phenomena. Physical evidence noted includes Darren's digital watch mysteriously gaining time, sometimes by nine minutes in a single night, despite its usual accuracy.

The review notes that the entire family, except the father and eldest child, are psychic and have accepted their paranormal experiences since childhood. The mother, Marion, suggests that modern people may have lost essential psychic faculties. She believes the UFO incidents were triggers for something more significant.

Gaynor's conclusions are presented: Arna and Parz were there to guide her, and she expects them to fulfill a promise to help her achieve something and release hidden information. She foresees an ultimate battle between good and evil, with a crucial role for herself and others. Her vision is described as frightening, yet she remains unafraid and focused on her path, aiming to become a doctor. Darren wishes to be an astrophysicist.

The book's concluding chapter, "Towards a Solution," covers Earth Related Technology, Alien Technology, and Psychic and Socio-Psychological aspects. The reviewer suggests that spiritual and occult interpretations, possibly from someone like Brad Steiger, would have been beneficial.

Overall, the reviewer found the book's style sympathetic yet objective, highlighting the strangeness of the events. Jenny Randles is recognized as an industrious ufologist, and this is considered her best work to date. The book is recommended as a fascinating 'window on another world' and food for thought.
