Magazine Overview

Title: The Original ENIGMA
Issue: 15
Date: January 12, 1998
Publisher: The Independent Research Centre for Unexplained Phenomena

This issue of The Original ENIGMA, dated January 12, 1998, is presented as a 'bumper size' issue, with the editor apologizing for its lateness due to an abundance of information and personal time constraints. The editor reflects on the perception of time speeding up as the Millennium approaches and the potential significance of the Mayan Great Cycle and 'The Shift'. The issue also revisits the theme of UFO Awareness, noting that despite 1997 being the 50th anniversary of the 'Flying Saucer' and Roswell, governments have maintained secrecy, leading the editor to declare 1998 as 'UFO Awareness Year'.

Contents

The magazine features a diverse range of articles and reports:

  • 1997 Crop Circle Analysis (Pages 3-8): This extensive article by P.V. details the author's scientific testing of crop formations in the UK during 1997. Using Radio Frequency (RF) detection equipment, the author investigated electromagnetic fluctuations within formations like the 'Charm bracelet' (1992), Danebury Ring (1997), and the elaborate 'Koch' fractal formations at Silbury Hill and Milk Hill (1997). The testing revealed anomalous RF readings, with a noticeable drop in signal inside the formations, suggesting a potential 'warp' in the EM field. The author notes that human presence significantly affects readings and discusses a correlation between the detected energy and that used by dowsers. The article also mentions the Hackpen Hill formation (1997) and expresses interest in reader experiences.
  • "The Cold Within" - Poem (Page 9): An anonymous poem reflecting on human sin and selfishness, illustrating how people died from internal coldness rather than external elements.
  • News Section (Pages 10-13, 16):
  • New Evidence of Anti-Gravity (Page 10): Reports on research by Hideo Hayasaka and colleagues at Tohoku University, Japan, who claim to have found evidence of anti-gravity through experiments with free-falling spinning gyroscopes. They observed that right-spinning gyroscopes exhibited a smaller fall-acceleration than left-spinning ones, suggesting a breakdown of parity in gravity.
  • First Observation of Space-Time Distortion by Black Holes (Page 11): Details the breakthrough announcement by astronomers using NASA's RXTE, who observed 'frame dragging' near a black hole, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. This effect distorts the orbits of gas near the black hole, causing X-ray emissions to peak in patterns matching the predictions.
  • Possible CIA indirect disclosure of UFO cover-up (Page 13): An alleged anonymous source ('X') with CIA connections suggests a plot to 'leak' information about UFOs and mind control projects, potentially linked to the Ira Einhorn case. The source claims Einhorn was involved in Intelligence mind control experiments, and that Dr. Kit Green, a former CIA expert on UFO matters, may have sabotaged the prosecution in Einhorn's murder trial to protect an accomplice.
  • Possible UFO Crash in Texas (Page 14): A brief report on an incident in El Paso, Texas, where many people heard a loud explosion and saw lightweight metal-like foil raining down, with a local sheriff disbelieving the meteor explanation.
  • Largest Henge circle in Britain discovered (Page 16): Archaeologists have found the remains of a large prehistoric timber temple near Stanton Drew, described as being twice the size of Stonehenge and significant for its complex structure, possibly related to supernatural control.
  • Things that go Tick in the night (Pages 17-19): An interesting report by John Vigay about an unexplained ticking sound (UTO) originating from a plant pot. Despite extensive investigation, the source of the metallic, regular ticking (approximately 4 ticks per second) remains elusive, with conventional explanations ruled out. The author welcomes suggestions from readers.
  • "Teleport' reality? (Page 15): Discusses the scientific demonstration of 'quantum teleportation' by Austrian scientists, where bits of light were destroyed and replicated nearby, raising questions about the future possibility of teleporting living beings.
  • Clinton exempts government from "alleged" crimes at Area 51 (Page 15): Reports on a presidential decree exempting Area 51 from hazardous waste laws under the guise of 'National Security', which could impact a lawsuit brought by workers claiming injuries.
  • Worldwide meditation planned for January 1998 (Page 14): Announcement of a global meditation event called 'The Renunciation' scheduled for January 30, 1998, intended to clear blocked energies and raise planetary consciousness.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, crop circles, and potential government cover-ups. The editorial stance, as expressed in the introduction, encourages reader engagement and proactive participation in 'UFO Awareness Year'. There is a clear interest in scientific investigation of anomalous events, as seen in the crop circle and anti-gravity articles, alongside a willingness to report on more speculative or conspiracy-oriented topics like the alleged CIA plot. The magazine also touches upon broader themes of consciousness, time, and spirituality, particularly in relation to the approaching Millennium and planetary ascension.

This issue of "UFO Sightings Roundup" focuses on recent UFO encounters and broader implications of the phenomenon, including potential government cover-ups and theories about alien influence. The magazine presents a collection of eyewitness accounts, expert opinions, and speculative analyses.

UFO Sightings Reports

Santa Barbara Channel Sighting (November 14, 1997)

Dr. Ted Loder and Tony Craddock, members of CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence), reported observing a large, triangular craft with lights on its edges while using high-magnification nightscopes. The craft appeared to be silently flying eastward down the Santa Barbara Channel. They estimated its length to be longer than Orion's belt but shorter than Orion's belt itself. The craft was not visible to the naked eye. It was estimated to have traveled a visible arc of 75 degrees in about 6 seconds, at a distance of 5-10 miles, suggesting a speed of approximately 4000-8000 mph. Both Loder and Craddock are involved in UFO research, with Loder being a Professor of Earth Sciences and Craddock a business executive.

Space Shuttle Endeavour Near Miss (September 1997)

An article details a reported near-collision between the Space Shuttle Endeavour and a gigantic UFO during its September mission. Author William Kliner claims to have obtained a top-secret NASA audio tape proving the incident. The tape features Commander David Walker expressing alarm about an object approaching the shuttle. The incident is described as "the most dramatic close encounter in history." Kliner suggests this event is proof that UFOs exist and are piloted by extraterrestrials interested in human technology and space ventures.

Global Surveyor's Launch Monitored By UFOs?

This section, attributed to Florida Today, reports on sightings around the launch of the Mars Global Surveyor. On November 7, 1997, security guard Jim Graw observed two elliptical, disc-shaped objects. Later that day, Wes Clark and other employees witnessed a white pinpoint of light joined by two identical UFOs performing strange manoeuvres in a triangulated formation. The objects were observed for about an hour. Space shuttle inspector Scott Cook also witnessed the objects, describing them as looking like three stars in daylight arranged in a pyramid. The report mentions military jets, including an F-15 and possibly a T-38 and U-2, appearing in the area, with one UFO reportedly following a U-2.

Amazing Daylight Costa Rica UFO Sightings (December 22, 1997)

Reports from Costa Rica indicate that unidentified flying objects were spotted over the Golfito District. TV cameramen filmed at least a dozen "flying saucers" performing zig-zag manoeuvres. Flight controllers at the International Juan Santamaria Airport counted "approximately fifty thousand traces" of their movements. Ufologist Carlos Vilchez noted the significance of these daytime sightings witnessed by hundreds and filmed by TV crews, predicting an influx of UFOs into the airspace within two months. Similar sightings of about ten "saucers" over San Jose were reported a month prior.

UFO Control System and The New World Order

This section, attributed to Noah's Dove, explores the idea that UFO phenomena may be part of a "Control System" preparing humanity for a "New Order." It references an address by Henry Kissinger suggesting that an "outside threat" could unite the world under a global government.

Who is ready for the Truth?

The author suggests that leaders may know things many people are not ready to hear, and that alien visitors might determine who is ready for the truth.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

This part discusses the growing public interest in UFO sightings and encounters, noting that many people are having sightings and encounters with UFO entities, often referred to as "Close Encounters of the Third or Fourth Kind."

UFOs and the NWO (Continued)

This extensive section delves into various aspects of the UFO phenomenon and its alleged connection to a New World Order, drawing heavily on the work of authors like Dr. Karla Turner, Whitley Strieber, and John Keel.

Alien Messages and ET Involvement

Contactees are reportedly told that humanity is not alone, that Earth has been visited by various extra-terrestrial (ET) types involved in human creation, evolution, and religions. Some believe ETs created humans through genetic engineering (Elohim), while others believe Pleiadian ancestors seeded Earth. Messages from ETs often speak of an impending "New Age" and the need for humanity to raise its vibration to avoid cataclysms. Some contactees are told they will be "rescued" by benign ETs.

Abduction Phenomena

Drawing on Dr. Karla Turner's work with over 400 abduction cases, the article lists numerous details reported by abductees. These include aliens altering perceptions, appearing in various guises, being invisible, leaving physical marks (scars, punctures, bruises, claw marks), causing gynecological problems, leading to serious illnesses, and encounters with multiple alien types (greys, reptoids, insectoids, blondes). Abductees also report painful procedures, genital and anal probes, unknown fluids being injected, and being threatened. Some report being taken to underground facilities with hybrid creatures and fetuses. Abductees also report seeing other humans being drained of blood or mutilated. Aliens are said to remove children, insist they "belong to us," and force sexual intercourse, sometimes disguised as familiar figures. They also make predictions of global chaos and destruction.

Philosophical and Other Problems with Messages

This section questions the benevolence of alien interactions, asking if enlightened beings would need to paralyze humans, steal fetuses, or cause fear and deception. It suggests that UFO phenomena might be interdimensional or multidimensional, potentially a holographic illusion. The messages from aliens are described as having authoritarian overtones, promoting ideas like democracy being obsolete, and advocating for a "New World Order" with alien help.

New Age Philosophies and Moral Relativism

The messages given to abductees are characterized as New Age in orientation, promoting reincarnation, "kinship with the Cosmos," and a "quantum leap forward." The article questions the basis for truth and ethics if "all is one with God," leading to total relativism. It suggests that finite alien creators cannot provide absolutes, drawing parallels to pagan polytheism.

Rael and The Elohim

This part discusses Rael, who claims to be the new "Messiah" chosen by ETs called the Elohim, who allegedly created humans through genetic engineering. Rael's movement aims to establish a world government.

Matrea

Benjamine Cream promotes "Maytrea" as a world teacher, convinced that crop circle phenomena are paving the way for a New World Order.

Skye Ambrose's Prediction

Abductee Skye Ambrose predicted that "evolution was entering a 'peak cycle' that will create a New Order on the planet."

Messages to Mankind

Many alien prophecies to contactees have reportedly failed or proven to be lies. The article warns that these prophecies might be creating false hope and dependency, and that "false prophets and Christs" disguised as sheep could be a danger, referencing Adolf Hitler as an example of someone who promised a "New Age."

Aliens or Demons?

Whitley Strieber is quoted as being convinced that the entities involved are indistinguishable from demons, expressing fear and uncertainty about their intentions. The article references biblical warnings against false Christs and prophets.

Why Should We Be Concerned?

While some suggest aliens pose no threat if they haven't taken over, the article raises concerns about deception, dangerous ideologies, cult formation, and the potential for aliens to acclimatize people to their presence. It emphasizes the need for discernment and caution.

UFO Quotes Shedding Light on Deception

Several quotes from authors like John Ankerberg, Dr. Jacques Vallee, Brad Steiger, Terrence McKenna, Arthur C. Clarke, and Gordon Creighton suggest that UFO phenomena do not behave like extraterrestrial visitors, may be multidimensional, and could be a form of deception or control, rather than originating from outer space.

UFOs and the NWO - Further Connections

This section continues the discussion, linking UFO behavior to magic and occult traditions, suggesting a similarity between modern UFOnauts and ancient demons. It highlights how abduction stories mirror occult initiation rituals. The article questions the scientific framework of "medical examinations" performed on abductees, finding them more akin to medieval tales of encounters with demons. It also notes that the "symbolic display" seen by abductees is identical to initiation rituals and astral voyages found in occult traditions.

Some Philosophical and Other Problems with These Messages

This part reiterates that UFO phenomena may have interdimensional or multidimensional qualities, and that the messages from aliens can have authoritarian overtones, challenging human beliefs and traditions, and promoting a "New World Order."

New Age Philosophies

The messages often align with New Age philosophies, promoting concepts like reincarnation and a "kinship with the Cosmos." The article questions the basis of morality and ethics in a relativistic worldview.

Who Defines Good or Evil?

This section questions how good and evil are defined if "all is one with God," leading to relativism and the arbitrary absolutes of controllers. It suggests that finite alien creators cannot provide sufficient absolutes.

Rael and The Elohim (Revisited)

This section revisits Rael's claims of being a prophet chosen by the Elohim, who allegedly created humanity through genetic engineering, and their goal of establishing a world government.

Matrea (Revisited)

Benjamine Cream's promotion of "Maytrea" as a world teacher is mentioned again, with the belief that crop circles are paving the way for a New World Order.

Skye Ambrose's Prediction (Revisited)

Skye Ambrose's prediction of an "evolutionary peak cycle" leading to a "New Order" is reiterated.

Messages to Mankind (Revisited)

The article warns about false messianic claims and the danger of creating dependency on aliens, referencing biblical warnings about false prophets.

Aliens or Demons? (Revisited)

Whitley Strieber's conviction that the entities are demonic is highlighted, along with biblical references to false Christs and prophets.

Why Should We Be Concerned? (Revisited)

The article concludes this section by stressing the importance of discernment and caution due to the potential for deception, dangerous ideologies, and the formation of cults associated with the UFO phenomenon.

UFO Quotes Shedding Light on Deception (Revisited)

ORTK UK Start 1998 UFO Campaign

This section introduces Operation Right To Know (ORTK) UK, an organization lobbying governments to release UFO information. It mentions the 50th anniversaries of the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the Roswell crash. The article notes the growing public belief in extraterrestrial life, citing popular media and increased home video filming of anomalous events. It highlights a CNN poll showing 54% of Americans believe in intelligent life outside Earth and a British poll indicating 92% of viewers believe in UFOs. The article criticizes the government's secrecy on UFO matters, citing the Belgian Airforce's detection of UFOs and the Bentwaters incident as examples of potentially covered-up events. Paul Vigay, the UK Co-Ordinator of ORTK, urges the Prime Minister to investigate and make evidence available for public research.
