Editorial Introduction

The editorial introduction welcomes readers to the third edition, highlighting its dedication to the study of UFOs and the progression of ufology. It mentions the magazine as a complement to the 7th Annual British Exopolitics Expo and emphasizes peering through the veil of phenomena that pervade ufology. The editor, Anthony Beckett, reflects on the passing of UFO researcher Mac Tonnies, remembering him as an inspiration and advocating for an open mind as the most powerful tool.

Key Articles and Features

The Nature of the Contact Phenomenon Mary Rodwell's contribution examines the contact phenomenon, referencing scientific findings that suggest the human race has undergone rapid transformation over millennia, questioning whether this is indicative of external genetic manipulation rather than natural mutation. The article suggests a correlation between this evidence and the testimony of experiencers who have received knowledge during their encounters.

Angelic Sailors Pierre Sabak's article, "Angelic Sailors," explores etymological patterns in languages. It proposes that contemporary terminology for aliens closely correlates with the traditional idiom of angels, not only in the attributes assigned to non-human beings in ancient texts but also to their vessels, or spaceships.

Silver Screen Saucers: Sorting Fact from Fantasy in Hollywood's UFO Movies An exclusive excerpt from Robbie Graham's book, "Silver Screen Saucers," focuses on the depiction of "Stargates" in Hollywood movies. The article analyzes the 1994 film "Stargate," noting its packaging of UFO-conspiracy elements like government secrecy, reverse engineering of alien technology, and Ancient Astronauts. It discusses how the film's plot, involving a device capable of forming a wormhole, mirrors real-life narratives and how the movie's spin-off TV series received significant support from the Pentagon and USAF. The excerpt also touches upon the influence of UFO lore on post-9/11 conspiratorial thinking, citing the case of 'Henry Deacon' and his claims about secret Stargate programs.

Finding the Secret Space Programme Andrew Johnson's article investigates secret aircraft and military projects, referencing the testimonies of individuals like Dr. Ben Rich, former CEO of Lockheed's Skunkworks, who spoke of advanced space travel technologies locked in black projects. The article discusses the US MOL and Soviet Almaz manned space programs of the 1960s and 70s, as well as advanced aircraft like the SR71, B2, F117, Aurora, and X-37B. It highlights the TR-3B, a purported secret aircraft described by Edgar Fouché, detailing its specifications, propulsion system (Magnetic Field Disruption), and capabilities. The article also mentions the use of Quasi-Crystals in its construction and the work of Dan Shechtman on this subject.

UFOs: The Philosopher's Conundrum Micah Hanks contributes an article that attempts to understand UFOs through an epistemological evaluation, considering the roles of philosophy and science in comprehending the UFO phenomenon. It questions whether humanity possesses the necessary tools to understand UFOs.

Alias Salt and Green and the Triangular UFOs Steve Mera shares his experience investigating sightings of triangular UFOs over Manchester, noting how the "X-Files stereotype" emerged when anonymous personalities became involved.

UFOs as Vanguards of a Post-Biological Intelligence This article, by the late Mac Tonnies, is highlighted as a significant piece that challenges UFO orthodoxy, emphasizing the importance of an open mind.

Conference Information

The magazine includes information about the 7th Annual British Exopolitics Expo, scheduled for October 17-18, 2015, at Leeds Beckett University. Speakers listed include Richard Dolan, Mary Rodwell, Mike Clelland, Micah Hanks, Robbie Graham, Pierre Sabak, Andrew Johnson, Steve Mera, and Anthony Beckett.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the intersection of UFO phenomena, science fiction, potential alien influence on human evolution, and government secrecy surrounding advanced technologies and space programs. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded, investigative stance, exploring unconventional theories and historical accounts while acknowledging the role of popular culture, particularly Hollywood, in shaping public perception of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance, as suggested by the commemoration of Mac Tonnies, is one that encourages critical thinking and an open mind in the pursuit of understanding these complex subjects.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated September 2015, features a cover story titled "FINDING THE SECRET SPACE PROGRAMME" by Andrew Johnson. The magazine explores complex topics related to UFO phenomena, secret technologies, and theories of human evolution and consciousness.

Finding the Secret Space Programme

The article by Andrew Johnson delves into the concept of a Secret Space Programme (SSP). It begins by discussing Magnetic Field Disruption (MFD), a technology that could enable stealth capabilities. Ed Fouché's work from 1998 is cited, and Richard D Hall's 2014 lecture on creating strong magnetic fields using rotating metal plasma is mentioned. The physics behind MFD is suggested to be valid.

The article then connects these ideas to sightings of Flying Triangles (FTs) worldwide, referencing reports from Belgium (1989/1990), a video by Graham Allen of the Staffordshire UFO Group about a sighting in Cannock Chase, UK (2003), and an investigation by Max Burns into an FT sighting involving military jets in Sheffield, UK (1997). Veteran UFO researcher Omar Fowler's 1996 study and NIDS research into FT sightings in 2004 are also noted.

Johnson discusses the potential connection between Fouché's disclosures about the TR-3B and the flying triangle cases documented by Richard D Hall in his film "Almost Identified Flying Objects." The article concludes that something matching the TR-3B's description has indeed been seen globally.

Nocturnal Observations

This section highlights the advancements in electronic recording and observation technology, particularly image intensifiers and night vision equipment. It notes that videos of alleged UFO sightings are available on YouTube, though many are considered fakes.

A Cover Story

Johnson posits that if a Secret Space Programme exists, a public space programme might be used as a cover. He suggests that the Apollo manned space programme may not have landed men on the moon, citing several pieces of evidence:

• NASA's specifications indicating the Lunar Rover Battery might not have operated at lunar temperatures.
• The use of standard cameras and film, questioning their survival in lunar heat and radiation.
• Charlie Duke's photo on the Moon, where shadows do not curl at a temperature exceeding 100°C.
• Problems with surface photos showing no dust on the lander's feet.
• Michael Collins not seeing stars.
• Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images showing the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) as an indistinct blob.
• Peculiar speeches and statements by astronauts like Armstrong and Aldrin.
• Contradictory statements from Aldrin, Edgar Mitchell, and others.

Conclusions

Johnson states that the information discussed does not definitively prove a Secret Space Programme exists. He quotes the common saying, “Those that know don't talk and those that talk don't know,” but identifies Edgar Fouché as an exception whose claims have been verifiable. While Fouché doesn't claim direct knowledge of an SSP, he does discuss secret technology. Johnson believes the evidence strongly suggests an SSP, supported by factors like the Apollo astronauts' connections and behaviour, indicating a massive deception involving black budgets and deep secrets.

The New Human, Homo Noeticus: Are We Changing As A Species?

This extensive section, primarily authored by Mary Rodwell, explores the concept of a new human species, referred to as "Homo Noeticus" or "Homo Novis," characterized by multidimensional awareness and potential extraterrestrial influence.

Awakening to a New Paradigm

Rodwell discusses the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network (ACERN), which has over 2,000 accounts of human encounters with non-human intelligences. She suggests a link between family bloodlines, genetics, and these experiences, proposing an intergenerational connection that offers insights into why these beings are interested in humanity. The evidence for this phenomenon manifests as transformational shifts in core beliefs, emotions, psychology, and spirituality.

Dr. Rudy Schild, a research astronomer, supports Mary's research, stating that the UFO phenomenon contributes to understanding the Universe's structure. He notes that the speed of thought exceeds the speed of light and that we live in a Quantum Universe supporting mind-to-mind information transfer, leading to phenomena like telepathy and remote viewing.

Human DNA and ET Code?

Physicist Vladimir I. shCherbaka and astrobiologist Maxim A. Makukov propose that the human genetic code was invented outside the solar system billions of years ago as a 'biological SETI' message. They identify hallmarks of artificiality, such as zero symbols and semantic symmetries, suggesting intelligent design inconsistent with natural processes.

Dr. Ken Miller, a Molecular Biologist, argues that human evolution did not result from natural selection but from rapid transformation over the last 200,000 years, involving fused gene segments and evidence of genetic engineering. He states that such fusions are not found in other animals.

Tracey Taylor, an experiencer, shares a quote suggesting the human race was created by extraterrestrials through genetic manipulation of human and ET DNA. She also mentions that "Star Kid" DNA has ten times the information of normal human DNA.

The 'Letter' People: ADD, ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome and Autism

L.O.G., a scientist with a PhD in Molecular Toxicology, believes that individuals with ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's are not 'broken' but represent a human upgrade. She suggests their condition offers new multidimensional skills and that their souls may originate from different parts of the Universe, incarnating in these 'improved' bodies.

Unique Chemical Differences

Research by L.O.G. and Tracey Taylor indicates that 'letter people' have higher levels of acetylcholine and dopamine in their brains and require more choline and vitamin B family members. Supplements can alleviate symptoms of imbalance like ADHD.

Problems with Present Reality

'Letter' people are described as having expanded sensitivities and awareness that struggle with the limitations of current social programming and third-dimensional reality.

Dr. William Brown, with a PhD in Biology, corroborates this, stating that genetic modification is producing a "New Human" with an exponential increase in Autistic, ADD, and Indigo children. This new genetic architecture allows for multidimensional perception and faster learning, with dormant genetic regions becoming integrated.

Neil Gould, a ufologist, also experienced expanded perceptions and extraterrestrial encounters as a child, finding it difficult to cope with the limitations of the third-dimensional world.

Human Upgrades: Homo Noeticus, Homo Novis

Lea, a young woman from Melbourne, Australia, shares her experiences and understanding of her mission. She recalls past lives and encounters with various extraterrestrial intelligences. She believes that humans are evolving into "Homo novis," a more multidimensionally conscious species, with those born after 2000 being "Homo noeticus."

The 'Mantid Family' and Soul Transfer

Paul, an 8-year-old from Queensland, Australia, communicates with extraterrestrials and draws symbols and scripts. He describes blue beings with oval heads and mentions going on spacecraft. Simon Parkes, a UK Town Councillor, also feels a connection to a "Mantid family." Both Paul and Simon have experienced "soul transfer" of consciousness into Mantid forms on board spacecraft.

Homo Noeticus, the Mission: Awakening

Letters from parents describe children with unique abilities, receiving messages in ET languages, and having healing capabilities, such as purifying water. Cathy, a 9-year-old, is mentioned as having healing abilities and speaking healing words in ET languages.

Scientist Masaru Emoto's work on water crystallization is referenced, suggesting that frequencies, like those in language, can alter water's crystalline structure. L.O.G. connects this to healing, stating that healing affects protein binding to genes.

Russian scientist Dr. Pjotr Garjajev's research suggests that non-coding DNA functions as a 'biological language' and can be reprogrammed by modulated human speech. The article questions if 'star language' frequencies could be instrumental in reprogramming human DNA for an upgrade.

DNA and Human Consciousness

DNA is described as attracting information from the universe, explaining phenomena like clairvoyance, intuition, and self-healing. L.O.G. suggests that increased resonance and frequency from space and Earth are pushing DNA into a three-dimensional configuration, activating dormant genes and aiding evolution.

Star Languages and Glyphs

Cathy, a nine-year-old, speaks three star languages, which she explains come from "outside" the Universe. Her 'helpers' guide her awakening. She describes beings from "Dayland" and mentions that memories can be deleted at birth. Deborah Lapatina speaks and writes star languages, describing them as light formulas and cosmic transmissions that are hard to articulate linearly.

Translators of the Multi-Dimensional Information

Terry Mace, a Psychotherapist, describes a traumatic reaction to star language symbols and glyphs, which he later understood as complex information containing blueprints, models, and encryptions. He felt it was a Rosetta stone turned on, providing conscious and super-conscious understanding.

Cosmic Ancestors and the Mission

Lea, at nineteen, has a clear focus on her mission to desensitize people to ET reality, open ley lines, and connect to the Universal Mind. She acts as an intelligence gatherer, investigating planetary ecosystems and darker agendas.

Humanity Awakens to a Cosmic Heritage

Lea wishes to pass on a message of peace and love.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of extraterrestrial contact, secret government programs, and the evolution of human consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be open to unconventional theories, presenting research and personal testimonies that challenge mainstream scientific and historical narratives. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for humanity to evolve beyond its current limitations, possibly through genetic manipulation and interaction with non-human intelligences.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated August 2015, focuses on the theme of human evolution and the potential emergence of 'Homo Noeticus'. The cover headline, 'THE NEW HUMAN, HOMO NOETICUS: ARE WE CHANGING AS A SPECIES?', by Mary Rodwell, sets the stage for an exploration of consciousness, extraterrestrial influence, and ancient connections to the UFO phenomenon.

The New Human and Solar Influence

Mary Rodwell's article posits that humans are undergoing an upgrade in consciousness, potentially assisted by solar rays. Mitch Battros, author of 'Solar Rain', suggests that solar cycle 24, with its increased activity, influences humans through the Earth's magnetic field and human DNA. This solar activity is seen as instrumental in ushering in a 'new state of being'.

Robert Dean, a former Command Sergeant with Cosmic Top Secret clearance, shares his experience of visiting extraterrestrials on a spacecraft and being shown humanity's future. He claims Homo sapiens have a unique genome of 12 different species and that despite challenging times ahead, higher cultures have intervened to transform humanity into a new species. Dean's quote, “I have been shown the future, it is glorious!”, encapsulates a hopeful outlook.

Rodwell also expresses hope, finding it illogical that 'New Humans' are being born unless they herald a new future. The article references various scientific and esoteric works, including research on the 'Wow! signal', genetic code, and ancient texts, suggesting a multidisciplinary approach to understanding these changes.

Mary Rodwell's Work and ACERN

The magazine details Mary Rodwell's extensive work as the Founder and Principal of the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network (ACERN). ACERN offers counseling and support for individuals experiencing 'anomalous' paranormal experiences, especially abduction-contact cases. Rodwell is recognized internationally as a leading researcher in the UFO and Contact phenomenon and has authored books and produced documentaries on the subject. Her work has been featured in national and international media, and she has lectured globally, including at Oxford University.

Her book, 'Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life', is described as a potential 'Bible of the Alien Abduction Phenomenon'. Research from over 2000 cases suggests a global phenomenon where 'Star Children' and 'Indigo/Crystal' children exhibit advanced awareness and connection to spiritual realms, often describing non-human visitors as real family members. Rodwell's research explores the possibility of a 'genetic' engineering program by extraterrestrials to 'upgrade' Homo sapiens, potentially linked to conditions like ADHD and Asperger's.

Angelic Sailors: Ancient Connections to UFOs

Pierre Sabak's article, 'Angelic Sailors', delves into the historical and mythological roots of the UFO phenomenon. He controversially argues that the modern study of ufology has been undermined by a neglect of the occult tradition of 'fallen angels'. Sabak posits that the decryption of 'angels' describes the same phenomenon as the 'alien' mystery, suggesting extraterrestrial origins.

He explores the etymology of terms like 'angel', 'sailor', and 'king', linking them to ancient concepts of celestial beings, naval vessels, and divine authority. Sabak suggests that the 'angelic host' ('tsabaoth') is derived from the Roman root 'hostis' (an army, particularly a foreign one), and that the concept of a spacecraft, while modern, is rooted in ancient ideas of 'vehicles' or 'ships' associated with deities.

The article examines biblical and classical traditions, where 'angels' are described as residing in 'naval vessels' or 'military ships', akin to UFOs. Sabak highlights the linguistic connections between 'angel' (mal'akh), 'sailor' (malakh), and 'king' (melekh) in Hebrew, alluding to 'king-ship'. He also discusses the 'djinn' and 'seraphim' as entities related to fire and serpents, and their potential connection to 'alien' beings.

Sabak connects the 'ship of state' and 'government' to the concept of a 'boat' and a 'heavenly sanctuary', suggesting that political structures are symbolically linked to these ancient ideas. He notes that the 'watchers' in ancient texts are often described as reptilian or dragon-like, and that the 'angelic' beings are seen as an 'invasive power' or 'foreign occupation'. The article also touches upon the 'illuminati' and 'shining ones' as part of this ancient lineage.

Alias Salt and Green and the Triangular UFOs

Steve Mera recounts a personal UFO sighting on February 8th, 1996, near Old Trafford, Manchester. He observed unusual lights that moved erratically before vanishing. Upon investigating, he learned that other students had also reported seeing an unusual object in the sky. His attempt to report the sighting to Manchester International Airport was met with conflicting information from different Air Traffic Control officers, raising questions about transparency and official reporting.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the interconnectedness of human consciousness, ancient mythology, and the UFO phenomenon. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting research and personal accounts that challenge conventional scientific and historical perspectives. There is a recurring theme that the 'alien' or 'extraterrestrial' presence has deep historical roots, possibly predating modern concepts of spacecraft and technology, and may be intertwined with religious and mythological narratives. The magazine encourages readers to consider these possibilities and explore the implications for humanity's future and evolution.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated September 2015, features a lead article by Steve Mera titled "ALIAS SALT AND GREEN AND THE TRIANGULAR UFOS." The magazine focuses on unexplained aerial phenomena, with this particular issue delving into a series of reported UFO sightings in the Manchester area, primarily in February 1996.

The Manchester Sightings of February 1996

The article begins with the author, Steve Mera, receiving information about unusual lights seen in Old Trafford, Manchester. His initial contact was with the Metro Newspaper, which led him to a reporter who, in turn, provided the contact details of a witness named Mike. Mike, initially reluctant, revealed himself and three other individuals to be on-duty police officers who had witnessed a strange object darting about the sky. They described it as triangular with a small square shape on the front and a metal structure underneath. The sighting occurred while the object hovered over the Lancashire County Cricket ground, directly opposite the Talbot Road Police Station where the officers worked.

Mike expressed unease, mentioning he had received calls from individuals identifying themselves as 'Mr. Salt' and 'Mr. Green,' who asked him questions and seemed to be checking him out. Mera assured Mike of confidentiality, and Mike agreed to provide his details for verification. This initial interaction set a tone of potential official interference.

Further investigation by Mera involved contacting Manchester International Airport, which initially denied any knowledge but later seemed to change its story. A call from an individual claiming to be an Air Traffic Control officer warned Mera to "leave this alone," suggesting a coordinated effort to suppress information.

Mike later revealed that two men, identifying themselves as Ministry of Defence (MOD) officials named Mr. Salt and Mr. Green, had visited him and the other police officers. These men warned them against contacting the radio station or a UFO investigator, stating the object was a top-secret aircraft and that they had broken protocol. The officers agreed it was best not to discuss the sightings, leading Mike to cancel his planned meeting with Mera.

Mera continued to gather information, locating other witnesses and hearing rumors of UFO sightings in the Morecambe Bay area. He compiled an overall report based on his investigations.

The article then details the events of February 8th, 1996, the night of the primary sightings. PC Gorden and three other police officers at Trafford Police Station witnessed a strange object darting and hovering over the cricket ground. Intrigued, they tuned into Talk Radio, where someone had reported a similar sighting. PC Gorden was interviewed live on air, describing the object as triangular with red apex lights and smaller white lights in the middle, massive, and silent. The object then accelerated rapidly and performed aerobatics before speeding off.

Additional Witness Accounts

Mera also recounts other witness testimonies from the same night:

• Michelle Baker and Gary Lorton: Driving near Barton Dock Road, they saw a huge triangular object cruising slowly, which met up with a smaller one over an industrial facility (Cortholes Chemicals). They described them as massive, silent mechanical structures.
• Cortholes Chemicals Security: Officers Graham Mitchell and Roy Burgess, along with night manager Chris Keaton and other staff, witnessed two strange, triangular objects with red and white lights hanging over their facility before moving towards Carrington.
• Peter Wilson: A headmaster, walking with a friend near Broadheath, Altrincham, saw a huge, triangular craft with red lights moving silently. He reported it to the police.
• Mrs. Spittle: An elderly woman in Stretford saw a huge, triangular craft flying at low level with bright lights, moving slowly and then darting.
• Adam Spencer: A CID Police Officer, and his father Ray, a retired police officer, saw an unusual light over Manchester, described as a dark triangular craft with bright white lights.

Official Responses and Broader Context

Rumors circulated in April 1996 that RAF West Drayton had been alerted to the UFOs, possibly scrambling jets. By May 1996, the Ministry of Defence confirmed receiving several UFO reports from the Manchester and Lancashire areas. Other UFO groups also reported sightings of strange triangular crafts.

In September 1996, Mera visited Morecambe Bay and found that triangular UFO sightings were common there as well. He was interviewed live on Red Rose Radio, where callers confirmed seeing similar objects.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) stated they had no radar acknowledgment of the objects. Manchester International Airport initially denied reports but later claimed the airport was shut that night, which an aircraft enthusiast contradicted, stating aircraft were seen operating normally.

Further contact with the MOD yielded a denial of knowing 'Mr. Salt' or 'Mr. Green' and a claim that they did not visit UFO witnesses. However, they confirmed receiving numerous reports in the North West, with over 400 unexplained incidents to date.

"UFOs: The Philosopher's Conundrum" by Micah Hanks

This section of the magazine shifts focus to a more philosophical examination of UFOs. Micah Hanks discusses the work of physicist Stephen Hawking, who expressed skepticism about alien visitation, dismissing UFO reports as related to "cranks and weirdos." Hanks argues against this narrow-minded view, suggesting that while he believes in unidentified flying objects, they may not necessarily be alien spacecraft. He posits that UFO sightings could be a result of various phenomena, natural or of "more intelligent design."

Hanks critiques the idea that science alone holds all the answers, advocating for a philosophical approach to understanding UFOs. He questions whether philosophy is "dead," as Hawking suggested, or if it remains a vital tool for inquiry, especially when examining subjects like UFOs. He highlights the work of Creston Davis and Santiago Zabala, who argued that the debate over the "death of philosophy" is based on wrong premises.

Hanks proposes that a more precise question is "Which philosophy is dead?" He suggests that while science is a process of systematic study, philosophy allows us to question our knowledge and biases. He encourages careful consideration of whether our arguments against certain ways of thinking are themselves illogical.

"Proto-UFOs and Alien Manifestation" by Anthony Beckett

This article explores the connection between light phenomena (like Earthlights and ball lightning) and structured UFOs. Beckett notes that while light phenomena are often reported, metallic craft are rarer. He discusses scientific field studies that confirm a "bimodal form" where plasma-like lights coexist with structured objects.

Explanations for light phenomena include natural sources like ball lightning or piezo-electric discharges, and even geological stresses. Beckett introduces the term "proto-UFOs" for these light phenomena, questioning their connection to purportedly technological craft.

He recounts the famous Fatima, Portugal event of October 13th, 1917, where a crowd of 70,000 witnessed a "sun"-like object described as a luminous disk that spun and advanced towards the earth, causing a "terrifying impression."

Archetypes and "The Wheels"

Anthony Beckett further explores the psychological interpretation of UFOs, referencing Carl Jung's idea that "Flying Saucers" can be seen as archetypal symbols representing wholeness and projections from the unconscious mind. Jung suggested that psychic dissociation could lead to such interpretations.

The article then introduces Pierre Sabak, a symbologist, who identifies "angels" as synonymous with "aliens" and refers to them collectively as "angeliens." Sabak compares angels to crew members of celestial vessels and suggests that the idea of alien infiltration appears in historical records disguised as angelic visitations, referring to it as "the divine invasion."

Sabak also links "angels" to "sailors" and "kings," citing linguistic parallels. He discusses the Ophanim, described in biblical sources as "wheels," suggesting this term may refer to flying disks and saucers.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Phenomena Magazine strongly focuses on the investigation of unexplained aerial phenomena, particularly triangular UFO sightings in the Manchester area. It highlights witness testimonies, including those from law enforcement officers, and suggests a pattern of official attempts to suppress or downplay such events. The magazine also engages with the philosophical and psychological dimensions of UFO study, questioning conventional scientific dismissal and exploring archetypal interpretations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, encouraging critical thinking and a willingness to consider evidence beyond mainstream scientific consensus.

This issue of EXOPOLITICS magazine, dated September 2015, features articles by Anthony Beckett and Mac Tonnies, exploring complex theories surrounding UFO phenomena. The cover story, "SILVER SCREEN SAUCERS: SORTING FACT FROM FANTASY IN HOLLYWOOD'S UFO MOVIES," is highlighted with endorsements from George Knapp and Jeffrey J. Kripal. Additionally, a DVD lecture series by Pierre Sabak titled "Angeliens" is promoted.

Proto-UFOs and Alien Manifestation by Anthony Beckett

Anthony Beckett's article delves into the possibility that UFOs and ancient religious experiences stem from a common cause, potentially natural 'proto-UFOs' that manifest in ways interpreted through the prevailing cultural lens. He explores the idea that 'Ancient Aliens' might be 'Contemporary gods' who have infiltrated human culture. Beckett discusses the linguistic phenomenon of paronomasia, linking words like 'God' and 'Dog,' and suggests that angelic authorities in religious art bear superficial resemblances to modern depictions of grey aliens. The 'Hierarchy of Angels' section notes the identification of angelic hosts with superficial circular forms, linking it to Jungian archetypes.

Beckett examines Tony Dodd's photographs of a flying saucer, questioning if these represent the materialization of proto-UFOs into recognizable craft. He draws parallels between the arrival of angels in Islamic tradition and the formation of clouds. The article posits that while extraterrestrial visitation might explain some UFO data obfuscation, it cannot account for the entire phenomenon. The 'British Roswell' case is mentioned as involving actual UFO sightings, not just debris. Beckett also references scientific studies monitoring UFO phenomena and security at military installations.

The Rendlesham UFO Incident is discussed as a well-documented case. Beckett suggests that the physical and observational evidence points to physical manifestations, not mere misidentifications. He quotes Staff Seargent Jim Penniston describing the incident as being "of biblical proportion." The concept of 'Polymorphism' in UFOs leads to the idea that the phenomenon might not be extraterrestrial but rather interdimensional or a natural physical manifestation. However, the impact on the conscious mind could lead to subconscious projections, as Carl Jung suggested. Beckett considers the possibility that an external intelligence, rather than the human subconscious, is creating the UFO experience.

He touches upon the 'Dave Bowman' experience from '2001: A Space Odyssey,' suggesting that the UFO phenomenon's projection screen might be an artificial construct. The similarities between UFO experiences and shamanic experiences are noted, with initiation rituals potentially triggering entity contact. Beckett also references the 'Extraterrestrial Hypothesis' (ETH), questioning Jacques Vallée's skepticism about advanced races undertaking long journeys. He notes the Condign Report's consideration of UAPs being used for psychological warfare by foreign powers, suggesting that such artificial generation might not be limited to human intelligence or nefarious purposes.

UFOs as Vanguards of a Post-Biological Intelligence by Mac Tonnies

Mac Tonnies' extensive essay explores the idea that UFOs are not necessarily extraterrestrial craft but could be manifestations of a 'post-biological' super-intelligence. He begins by challenging the reader to second-guess initial impressions, stating that the study of the paranormal requires policing one's own consciousness. Tonnies proposes two primary interpretations for UFOs and occupant encounters: 'cryptoterrestrials' from an invisible landscape, or the product of an ancient, almost inconceivably ancient machine intelligence.

He suggests that as humanity approaches a 'Singularity,' our existence might have been monitored or groomed by such a super-intelligence. Tonnies notes the 'Great Silence' in the galaxy and the possibility of neighbors who have spawned artificial intelligence. He posits that UFO behavior is 'absurd' and suggests it's a 'social engineering campaign' designed to discredit the phenomenon. He contrasts this with the traditional ETH, noting that UFOs often exhibit limited capabilities, akin to pulp science fiction, rather than the advanced technology expected of beings millions of years ahead of us. Examples include abductee Betty Hill's experience with a pregnancy test similar to a technique invented after her abduction, and car engine disruptions that align with earthly propulsion technologies.

Tonnies argues that the 'alien' imagery, particularly from the 1950s, serves as a perfect cover, possibly exploited by military operations to deflate interest in secret projects. He believes the mainstream media's attempts to 'debunk' UFOs inadvertently assist an overarching agenda. He questions the 'clumsy methods' of alleged alien abductors, whose induced amnesia fades, and the 'incriminating scars' left by craft, suggesting these are not the actions of a highly advanced civilization. He points to the Washington National sightings and the Rendlesham Forest incident as potentially staged events intended to be witnessed, possibly using holography to create the illusion of tangible craft.

He discusses the 'Interdimensional Hypothesis' and the 'Null Hypothesis' (that UFOs are misidentified phenomena), finding the latter to be 'decrepit and toothless.' Tonnies proposes five guiding tenets for UFOs: they are physically real, exhibit intelligent direction, have significant psychological and sociological impact, display theatrical behavior suggesting dialogue, and are at least partially amenable to human psychology. He suggests that a post-biological intelligence might be deliberately avoiding formal contact to prevent societal destabilization, acting as a 'benevolent' force grooming humanity for its own 'Singularity.'

He further explores the idea of a 'hive society' with 'drones' for specialized tasks, drawing parallels to robotic space probes. Tonnies suggests that the phenomenon's 'absurdity' and 'playful' disposition, as seen in cases like the Hopkinsville encounter, are used to discredit the ETH and keep observers in an 'amnesiac stupor.' He concludes that the UFO intelligence might be orchestrating events to prevent a clear understanding of its nature and agenda.

About the Author: Mac Tonnies

Mac Tonnies is described as a Kansas City, Missouri-based author and essayist, blogging at Posthuman Blues and tweeting religiously. His works include "After the Martian Apocalypse" and "The Cryptoterrestrials." He has appeared as a guest panelist at conventions, lectured internationally, and participated in programs like Coast to Coast AM. Tonnies identifies as a skeptic, agnostic, and existentialist, interested in cosmology, nonhuman intelligence, and futurism. He is a member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around re-evaluating the traditional Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) for UFO phenomena. Both authors, Beckett and Tonnies, lean towards more complex explanations, including the possibility of 'proto-UFOs,' a post-biological or machine intelligence, and 'social engineering' campaigns. There's a strong emphasis on the psychological and cultural aspects of UFO experiences, suggesting that our interpretations are heavily influenced by our existing belief systems and societal narratives. The magazine's stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, encouraging readers to question conventional explanations and consider alternative, often more complex, hypotheses about the nature and origin of UFO phenomena.
