Magazine Overview

Title: EL OJO CRITICO
Issue: N° 53
Date: Febrero 2007
Publisher: GRUPO FENIX
Country: ESPAÑA

This issue of 'El Ojo Crítico' delves into several intriguing topics, including a re-examination of the famous Benacazón OVNI case, the phenomenon of unsettling disappearances in Spain, and the history of the first patented 'flying saucer' in the country. The magazine features contributions from various writers and researchers who offer their perspectives and investigations.

Articles and Features

The Benacazón Case: What's Never Been Said

The lead article revisits the 1976 Benacazón case, where a farmer, Miguel Fernández Carrasco, claimed to have been attacked by an OVNI. The article highlights that for the first time, judicial proceedings were initiated for an OVNI aggression in Spain. It reveals that for decades, these documents were lost but were exclusively recovered by 'El Ojo Crítico'. The piece also includes an interview with the protagonist and presents an alternative hypothesis from ufologist Jose Manuel García Bautista. The incident involved an object described as a "telephone booth" with a rotating dome emitting red and white lights, from which two tall, humanoid figures descended. They reportedly pursued the witness, incapacitating him with a beam of light. The article details the subsequent medical and judicial examinations, noting that while the victim suffered physical and psychological trauma, no criminal charges could be filed due to the unknown nature of the aggressors.

100 Unsettling Disappearances

This section addresses the alarming issue of disappearances in Spain, with a focus on cases deemed 'unsettling'. The Spanish National Police handle approximately 15,000 disappearance reports annually, with about 100 cases categorized as high-risk. The article highlights the plight of missing minors and adults, with many cases pointing towards foul play rather than voluntary disappearances. It mentions the case of Juan Pablo Martínez Gómez, the 'child of Somosierra', as one of the most enigmatic cases. The article also touches upon the increasing number of disappearances of immigrant minors and the complexities of 'parental kidnappings'. The police database for missing persons is not connected with the Civil Guard, and families have formed associations to aid in their search and advocate for better coordination among authorities.

The First Spanish 'Flying Saucer'

This feature explores the history of the first patented 'flying saucer' in Spain, designed by José Lifante Lozano. The article presents previously unpublished documents, including sketches and patent details from 1955. It discusses the historical context of early aviation and 'flying saucer' designs, referencing figures like H. Zimmerman, Lee Richards, and Victor Schauberger. The patent, number 224592, describes an aircraft with a circular shape and a propulsion system based on rotating blades powered by reaction engines. The article distinguishes Lifante's design from earlier theoretical projects, emphasizing its patented status and unique propulsion method.

Testimonials and Opinions

Several personalities from the world of mystery and investigation share their views on 'El Ojo Crítico'. Juan Antonio Cebrián praises the magazine's editor, Manolito, for his dedication to true mystery. Jesús Callejo commends the publication for its 12 years of critical journalism and its role as a voice for the mystery community. Ignacio Darnaude lauds 'El Ojo Crítico' for its honesty and for tackling taboo subjects. Lois López Vilas sees the magazine as a source of inspiration and a guide to discerning fraud from genuine mystery. Marisol Roldán admires the magazine's commitment to free expression, critical opinions, and the pursuit of truth.

Other Articles

The issue also includes shorter pieces such as "The 'Twelve Tribes'", "Seers on the Polygraph", "The USAF and the OVNI Phenomenon", "Seers Search for a Missing Plane", "The Inventor of Spanish Ufology", "The Seer of the Famous Condemned", "Fran Contreras in Depth", "The Confidentials of EOC", "Directory of Mystery on the Internet", "New Case Explained in Fotocat", "The Business of 'Skepticism'", "The Astronaut of Fergana Does Not Exist", and a preview of "Bélmez and the Civil Guard".

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

'El Ojo Crítico' consistently champions critical investigation, a commitment to truth, and the exposure of fraud within the paranormal and mystery fields. The magazine appears to prioritize in-depth research, often revisiting historical cases with new evidence or perspectives. There is a clear stance against sensationalism and a dedication to providing a platform for diverse, yet well-founded, opinions. The publication seems to value journalistic integrity and the courage to challenge established narratives, as evidenced by its critical examination of both alleged phenomena and the methodologies of other researchers.

This issue of "Vidente" (Issue 19) delves into a variety of paranormal and unexplained phenomena, with a strong focus on UFOs, secret military projects, and the veracity of psychics. The magazine explores technological innovations, government secrecy, and controversial social groups.

The Lifante Lozano "Flying Saucer" Patent

The issue begins by detailing the patent granted to Lifante Lozano for a disk-shaped aircraft, emphasizing its aerodynamic design and propulsion system. The "turbina aérea" (air turbine) was designed to absorb air, creating a vacuum that would lead to elevation. The article explains the mechanics of the turbine, including the air intake and expulsion points, and the role of control mechanisms and stabilizers. It notes that Lifante Lozano's design was inspired by aerodynamic principles rather than emulating popular UFO imagery, and that its genesis can be traced back to a childhood toy. The article also draws parallels with the circular aircraft designs of German engineer Rudolf Schriever, who also patented similar concepts.

Despite the scientific basis of Lifante Lozano's invention, it apparently never materialized physically, possibly due to the eccentric nature of the design for its time and the economic conditions in post-war Spain. However, feedback from engineers and pilots suggested the feasibility of the concept.

Further context is provided by mentioning similar patent applications in Europe around the same time, including those by Schriever in Germany and Scipione Mattolin in Italy. The article also touches upon Freeman Dyson's later project to design a nuclear-powered spacecraft. A later patent in Spain by Rafael Sánchez Garrido is also mentioned, attributing different propulsion characteristics to his "flying saucer" design. The possibility of shared inspiration through "morphic fields" is suggested as an explanation for the recurring common elements in these independent projects.

The article concludes this section by asserting that research into aerial navigation using saucer-shaped aircraft has continued globally, citing experiments in Saratov, Russia, under engineer Lev Schukin, as evidence that the pursuit of emulating "elusive" UFOs is ongoing.

The US Air Force and UFO Phenomena

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the role of the US Air Force (USAF) in investigating UFO phenomena, particularly in the context of alleged crash retrievals. The article references a report from Jane's Defence Weekly about the sighting of the secret Aurora aircraft, questioning how such a significant secret as a crashed extraterrestrial object could be kept hidden.

It details the involvement of a specialized, highly trained group operating within the USAF, often referred to as "blue berets." These individuals are described as specialists who arrive at crash sites in groups of three, wearing blue military berets. Their operations are linked to secret projects such as Moondust, Bluefly, and UFO, aimed at recovering any artifacts of extraterrestrial origin that crash on Earth.

The article mentions the "Destacamento 4, 696 Grupo de Inteligencia Aérea" at Fort Belvoir as a central command for these efforts, which later fell under the responsibility of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The "blue berets" are presented as the visible face of a military service dedicated to concealing physical evidence of UFO phenomena.

Another facet of this covert service is attributed to a group called "Delta," responsible for enigmatic black helicopters that have been sighted since the 1970s. The author George C. Andrews is cited, whose books have shed light on these secret groups. An account is given of a "Delta" unit's encounter with law enforcement after a helicopter malfunctioned near New Jersey, carrying a significant cargo.

Allegations are also raised linking the "Delta" group to drug trafficking and biological warfare experiments. An anonymous letter suggests that the black helicopters emitted weak mixtures of cyanide and dioxin to test their effects on the population.

The article details the "pentálogo" (five-point plan) for UFO crash retrieval operations, outlining objectives such as prior observation, impact analysis, damage assessment, identification of markings, and detailed physical descriptions of the object. These protocols were part of documents produced by the Department of State and sent to US embassies.

Sgt. Clifford Stone is credited with obtaining these documents through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, revealing a well-established US government protocol for recovering extraterrestrial objects since the 1960s.

Despite official denials of projects like Moondust and Bluefly, the article suggests that the "blue berets" have remained active since the Kecksburg UFO incident in 1965. Subsequent alleged crash retrievals in New Mexico and Gallup are mentioned, with official explanations often attributing them to meteorites or space debris.

An interview with a military police officer named "Jeff" describes an encounter with a disc-shaped object and the involvement of "blue berets." The officer and other military personnel involved were reportedly ordered not to speak about what they had seen under threat of court-martial.

Another case, involving a pilot named "Tony," describes the pursuit of a large, diamond-shaped object that emitted sparks. The pilots were ordered to withdraw, and the object was later recovered by "blue berets."

The activities of the "blue berets" are not confined to the US, with mentions of their presence in Sudan, Nepal, and Vietnam, where they allegedly recovered a B-52 bomber shot down by a UFO. Their involvement in the recovery of the Soviet satellite Cosmos 956 in Canada is also noted.

The article concludes that the recovered UFOs may have contributed to the development of advanced US aircraft and flying saucer technology, though authorities deny this. The "blue berets" were eventually replaced by private security at Groom Lake.

The "Las Doce Tribus" Sect

Another section of the magazine focuses on the controversial spiritual group "Las Doce Tribus" (The Twelve Tribes). The article describes a community living on Monte Ulía in San Sebastián, Spain, who aim to live according to the lifestyle of the early disciples of the Messiah. They practice hospitality but are reportedly closed off to journalists.

Members of the group do not watch television, listen to the radio, or read newspapers, adhering to a strict interpretation of the Old Testament, particularly Leviticus. They follow Jewish traditions and aim to maintain the "purity" of their community by not allowing outside influences, including formal education for their children.

Children are educated at home, learning basic literacy, mathematics, and moral principles. The article mentions that children may be disciplined with a wooden stick for disobedience or disrespect. The Basque government's Department of Education states that it is not their role to control such groups, as they are small and mobile.

A former member, identified as "Nejmad" (a pseudonym), recounts his experience joining the group after encountering them at a fair. He describes being immersed in their ideology, losing his sense of self, and developing a "pseudopersonality." He characterizes the group as a sect that alienates individuals and imposes collective hypnosis, leading to a loss of decision-making capacity.

"Las Doce Tribus" has a global presence, with communities in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. In Spain, they have rural houses in San Sebastián and Irún.

Another former member, "Yadid" (also a pseudonym), describes how new members are required to renounce their possessions and cut contact with family and friends. He states that the group operates with a clear hierarchy and that their seemingly idyllic lifestyle, focused on ecology and organic food, masks a system designed to "annul the person."

The group runs a shop called "Sentido Común" (Common Sense) selling crafts and produce. Local residents and the municipal police have not reported any issues with the community, and the public prosecutor's office has not received any complaints.

Psychics and the Polygraph

The magazine also examines the use of polygraph (lie detector) tests in investigating paranormal claims. It highlights television programs that subject psychics to these tests to verify their abilities.

The case of "bruja Lola" (witch Lola) is detailed, who underwent a polygraph test on the program "En Antena." The results indicated that she was truthful about certain claims, such as having avoided her father's death and having famous clients, but lied about others, like her black magic spells being mortal or always functioning.

The article questions the reliability of these tests by contrasting the results for "bruja Lola" with those of another psychic, Paco Porras, who also underwent a polygraph test. While Porras's test suggested he was truthful about certain claims, a previous test involving singer Tamara-Ambar indicated she had been truthful when stating she had slept with Porras. This discrepancy leads the author to question the accuracy of the "detectors of lies" or suggests that psychics may genuinely believe their own fabricated stories.

Indonesian Plane Search and Videntes

Finally, the issue reports on the disappearance of an Indonesian Boeing 747-400 near the island of Sulawesi. In a desperate search effort, the Indonesian Air Force hired six psychics and shamans to aid in locating the aircraft. Despite the massive search operation involving multiple countries, the only progress made was the discovery of large metallic fragments at a depth of over a thousand meters, which might belong to the plane's fuselage. The psychics' visions pointed to the same general area, but concrete information remained elusive.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of "Vidente" include the intersection of technology and the unexplained, the role of government in concealing or investigating paranormal phenomena, the nature of belief and deception in the context of psychic abilities, and the exploration of alternative lifestyles and belief systems. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, presenting various claims and evidence while also questioning their veracity and reliability, particularly in the case of psychics and the use of polygraph tests. The magazine seems to aim at informing readers about a range of unexplained events and phenomena, encouraging them to consider different perspectives and to critically evaluate the information presented.

This issue of "Ufologia" (Issue 21, dated September 1973) focuses on the pioneering work of Oscar Rey Brea, an early Spanish ufologist, and explores various paranormal phenomena and controversies. The magazine also features a section on the criminal case of celebrity vidente Cristina Blanco.

Oscar Rey: The 'Inventor' of Ufology in Spain

The lead article introduces Oscar Rey Brea, a radiosondista and amateur astronomer, who began his research into unidentified flying objects (UFOs) two years before the term 'flying saucers' became widely known following Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting. Rey meticulously documented unusual aerial phenomena, compiling a 'diary of sightings' from 1945 to 1964. His work, though largely overlooked by Spanish ufology, earned him recognition as a pioneer. Rey's 'Martian Hypothesis' proposed a link between UFO sightings and the proximity of Mars to Earth. He also developed the 'Theory of Biennial Cycles.'

Rey's research was characterized by a scientific approach, allowing him to identify many sightings as meteorological, astronomical, or physical phenomena, or even simple hoaxes. He corresponded extensively with other Spanish ufologists, including Manuel Osuna, Vicente Juan Ballester Olmos, and Felix Ares de Blas, serving as a valuable consultant for their investigations. The article highlights Rey's audacious classification of the UMMO case as a fraud, a stance that went against the prevailing opinion among Spanish ufologists at the time, leading to his marginalization.

Historical Documents and Correspondence

The issue includes historical documents, such as the first letter exchanged between Rey Brea and Antonio Ribera, and Ribera's response, which acknowledged Rey as a pioneer. A document from the "Centro de Investigaciones y Actividades Subacuáticas" (Center for Underwater Research and Activities) is also featured.

Falso OVNI en Galicia (False UFO in Galicia)

This section details a specific UFO sighting in Galicia on Sunday, September 11, 1973. Numerous people observed a brilliant circular object with two projections, which later appeared to have legs. The object was tracked by various observers and observatories, with calculations suggesting an altitude of 16 km. The article notes that while the local press reported the sighting, it was not a UFO but possibly a weather balloon or a similar phenomenon.

Oscar Rey's 'Martian Hypothesis'

This article elaborates on Rey Brea's hypothesis, which emerged from his 'diary of sightings.' He observed a correlation between UFO reports and periods of Mars's closest approach to Earth. This hypothesis was later independently developed by Eduardo Buelta. The author praises Rey's original deductions, even if later invalidated, and contrasts his rigorous approach with that of some contemporary investigators.

Cristina Blanco: Vidente Accused of Robbery

This section shifts focus to a criminal case involving Cristina Blanco, a well-known 'vidente' (psychic) to celebrities. The article reports her conviction for stealing money and credit cards from clients and her sentencing to 16 months in prison. The scandal garnered significant media attention, with various television programs and magazines covering the story. The article notes that many celebrities interviewed tried to distance themselves from Blanco, despite her past associations.

Cristina Blanco celebrated her 35th birthday surrounded by friends, including Rocío Carrasco and Terelu Campos. The article also touches upon her past business dealings and alleged fraudulent practices, including diagnosing 'evil eye' and influencing clients emotionally. It mentions her association with other figures in the media and esotericism, and her company, MICRISTA SL, facing issues with social security payments.

The Italian Precedent: Vanna Marchi

This article draws a parallel between Cristina Blanco's case and that of Vanna Marchi, a famous Italian tele-saleswoman and psychic who was imprisoned for fraud. Marchi allegedly accumulated a fortune through magical potions and esoteric secrets, and was accused of extorting clients. Her tele-sales empire collapsed after an investigation by the Italian television program "Striscia la notizia."

Francisco Contreras: Interview on Mystery and Investigation

This section features an in-depth interview with Francisco Contreras Gil, a journalist and investigator specializing in mystery phenomena. Contreras, who previously worked with Iker Jiménez on "Milenio 3" and "Cuarto Milenio," discusses his career path, his passion for journalism and mystery, and his move to Valencia to pursue his investigations.

Contreras shares his views on various paranormal topics, including the Bélmez faces, which he considers fake. He discusses his investigation into the Manises incident of 1979, where a UFO was reportedly involved in an aircraft emergency landing. He also touches upon his work investigating alleged satanic cults in Valencia, mentioning the cases of priest Ruiz Picazo and Antonio Toscano.

He expresses skepticism about alien visitations, suggesting that UFO phenomena are complex and can be explained by various factors such as parallel worlds, military prototypes, or atmospheric phenomena. Contreras emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the need to doubt even established information in the field of mystery investigation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena, scientific investigation, and media portrayal. There is a clear emphasis on debunking hoaxes and fraudulent claims, as seen in the articles on Oscar Rey Brea's critical approach and Francisco Contreras's skepticism towards the Bélmez faces. The magazine also highlights the challenges faced by researchers and the societal impact of paranormal beliefs and alleged fraud. The editorial stance appears to favor rigorous investigation and critical analysis, while acknowledging the enduring public fascination with mystery and the paranormal.

This issue of EOC magazine, identified as issue 32, focuses on debunking myths and critically examining various aspects of the paranormal and skeptical communities. The cover story, "El \"astronauta\" de Fergana, nunca existió," by Erich von Däniken, questions the authenticity of a famous petroglyph and its repeated use in astroarchaeology. The magazine also features a significant exposé on the financial dealings of prominent skeptics, titled "El negocio del escepticismo desenmascarado por tercera vez," which details accusations of undue profit from their activities.

Key Articles and Features

The Fergana Astronaut Myth Debunked: The article by Erich von Däniken highlights the 'astronaut' petroglyph from Fergana Valley, a symbol often cited as evidence of ancient alien contact. However, the author, in recounting his travels and interviews with archaeologists in the region, found no corroborating evidence or knowledge of the cave where the painting was supposedly discovered. This suggests that the image, widely reproduced, might be a fabrication or a misinterpretation, and that only one author had access to it, raising questions about its validity.

The Business of Skepticism Exposed: This lengthy exposé details a controversy surrounding the Movimiento Escéptico Organizado (MEO) and its components, particularly ARP-SAPC. The article presents evidence, including a contract, suggesting that figures like Felix Ares de Blas and Javier Armentia have been charging substantial fees for their anti-paranormal lectures and activities. Manuel Carballal is presented as the primary accuser, providing documentation that allegedly reveals significant income derived from these activities, contradicting the public image of disinterested altruism.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently adopts a critical and investigative stance, not shying away from controversial topics. There's a clear emphasis on debunking hoaxes and exposing potential financial motivations behind paranormal claims and even within the skeptical community itself. The editorial line appears to favor rigorous investigation and transparency, as evidenced by the detailed exposé on the "business of skepticism." The magazine also champions independent researchers and investigative journalism, as seen in the announcement of the CYDONIA publishing house. The recurring theme is the pursuit of truth, whether it involves uncovering the reality behind alleged paranormal phenomena or scrutinizing the integrity of those who investigate or dismiss them.

This issue of Spoutnik magazine, identified as issue number 1 from June 1967, is a Russian publication that aimed to be the Russian equivalent of 'Reader's Digest'. It featured a variety of content including science, travel, gastronomy, literature, and culture, presented in a format of 13 by 19 cm with over 200 pages per issue.

The 'Fergana Astronaut' Debunked

The central focus of the investigative articles in this issue is the debunking of the widely circulated image of the 'Fergana astronaut'. The author, Manuel Carballal, explains how this image, often presented as a prehistoric rock painting or petroglyph, has been a source of confusion and speculation regarding ancient astronauts. He recounts his arduous task of tracing the image's origin, which was significantly aided by General Battsagan Tsiiregzen, a former Deputy Minister of Security and translator.

General Tsiiregzen, who was trained as a diplomat and spy in Moscow and later served at the UN and in Cuba, helped locate the first known publication of the image. According to him, it first appeared in the Russian magazine Spoutnik in 1967. The specific issue was number 1, published in June 1967.

Carballal managed to obtain this issue and found that the image was part of an extensive article titled "Los visitantes del Cosmos" (The Visitors from the Cosmos) by Viatcheslav Zaitsev. Zaitsev, a philosophy graduate specializing in Yugoslavian literature and a researcher at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, explored theories of ancient extraterrestrial gods, touching upon themes later popularized by Erich von Däniken, such as Dogu statues, biblical UFOs, and rock paintings.

However, Carballal reveals that the 'Fergana astronaut' image is not a photograph of a rock fresco or a tracing of a petroglyph. Instead, it is an illustration created for the article, occupying pages 106 and 107. To his surprise, the bottom right corner of the illustration bears the signature "A. Brousnlov bb.", which Carballal translates from Cyrillic characters. He further confirmed that the same illustrator, A. Brousnlov, signed other illustrations in Spoutnik, including those for articles unrelated to mysterious phenomena, such as "The Socialist Republic of Ukraine".

Carballal expresses his frustration that for years, the image has been reproduced with the artist's signature mutilated, playing with people's desire to understand humanity's past. He laments that the origin of such mysteries can sometimes be disappointingly mundane.

He notes that after the publication of his book "El Secreto de los Dioses" (The Secret of the Gods), he faced aggressive and irrational attacks from proponents of ancient astronaut theories. A forum was even opened on J. J. Benitez's official website dedicated to the chapter on the Fergana case, where insults and attacks were directed at his investigation, which he felt harmed the sincere search for truth.

Related Content: 'Operación Tridente' and Bélmez

Another section of the magazine previews upcoming content, specifically an investigation into "La verdad sobre la 'Operación Tridente'" (The truth about 'Operation Trident'). This section indicates that EOC (presumably a publication or organization) located and conducted an exclusive interview with the Commander of the Puesto and all the Civil Guard agents stationed in Bélmez in 1971. Accompanying this preview are images related to the Guardia Civil and the Bélmez phenomena, including a mention of the "Casa de las Caras" (House of the Faces) and original reports from the Civil Guard of Bélmez.

Featured Book: 'La Conspiración del Mesías'

The final page displays the cover of a book titled "La Conspiración del Mesías" (The Messiah Conspiracy) by Miguel Pedrero, published by Editorial CYDONIA in March 2007. The book's theme revolves around secret societies, sects, and politicians awaiting the return of an "envoy", with images of Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush on the cover.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The primary theme of this issue is the critical examination of popular mysteries, particularly the 'Fergana astronaut' case, which is thoroughly debunked as an illustration rather than an archaeological find. The magazine adopts an investigative and evidence-based stance, aiming to clarify misinformation and uncover the factual origins of widely believed phenomena. It highlights the importance of rigorous research and expresses concern over the irrational attacks faced by those who challenge established narratives in the field of ufology and ancient mysteries. The inclusion of the 'Operación Tridente' and the preview of the Bélmez investigation suggest a continued focus on unexplained phenomena and their official documentation.
