Articles this Issue

Alien machines I have seen

By Nadine Lalich, this article delves into the technology employed by extraterrestrials for the examination and indoctrination of abductees. Lalich recounts her personal journey of overcoming secrecy and loneliness to explore her experiences. She describes various devices, including a see-through acrylic chair designed for examination and a "dental chair" made of metal. The article also details a "mass pacification device" shown to her during an encounter, which appeared to be a large capsule that dug into the earth. Furthermore, Lalich discusses "human locator discs," small, round devices released from hovering crafts, which she believes identify abductees. She also describes an "indoctrination symbol box" and "indoctrination vibration cylinders," suggesting these technologies are used for manipulation and to render humans passive.

These vermillion-skinned, high ranking alien females in shiny robes can turn invisible!

Jayna Conkle shares a personal experience from 1994 where she found herself in a windowless room with about 40-50 other women, all in their bedclothes, seemingly attending a lecture. She describes the speakers as high-ranking, pink-orange or vermillion-skinned grey aliens with typical large heads and black eyes. Conkle notes that while the aliens were described as greys, their skin tone was unusual. She also touches upon the concept of "female-ness is an aura" and the awkwardness of nudity in such situations.

"Remembering" the future? Something new in regression results

Barbara Lamb presents the case of Ken, an abductee who, through regression therapy, began to "remember" an event that had not yet occurred. Ken had experienced abduction phenomena throughout his life and was particularly troubled by repeatedly seeing triple-digit numbers on clocks. Lamb's regression work revealed no child abuse, but rather extraterrestrial involvement. Ken's family had also witnessed UFOs. The article highlights Ken's feeling that extraterrestrials were trying to communicate something important, possibly manipulating him to see the numbers. The regression sessions aimed to uncover the source and meaning of these occurrences, suggesting a potential future event or a form of communication.

Hypnosis in ufology- in the USA, Brazil & elsewhere

Mário N. Rangel, a leading Brazilian ufologist and hypnotist, shares his experiences and case studies. He recounts an early encounter in Brazil where he witnessed a flying saucer. Rangel discusses his use of hypnosis in ufology, noting that many hypnotists have also seen UFOs. He presents the case of "Beatriz," a sleepless, pregnant woman who, under hypnosis, recalled being inside a small metal globe, experiencing weight alterations due to gravity modification, and having her diamond ring placed on a computer monitor-like device. This case is notable for the reported robbery and acrobatic feelings experienced by the abductee.

Book Reviews and Advertisements

The issue includes reviews of two books: "74 CRASH RETRIEVALS !!!" by Ryan S. Wood, which is praised for its comprehensive review of UFO crash retrieval events, and "Alien Experiences: 25 Cases of Close Encounter Never Before Revealed" by Barbara Lamb and Nadine Lalich, described as a significant contribution to the literature on close encounters.

There is also an advertisement for "MAJIC EYES ONLY: EARTH'S ENCOUNTERS WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL TECHNOLOGY" by Ryan S. Wood.

An editorial board vacancy is announced, with interested persons encouraged to contact Elaine Douglass. The magazine also invites submissions from the UFO community, promising to publish cogently argued points of view on the nature and activities of UFO intelligences.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the technological capabilities of extraterrestrials, the psychological and physical effects of abduction experiences on humans, and the use of hypnosis and regression therapy as tools for investigation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, encouraging diverse viewpoints and personal accounts. There is a clear focus on understanding the 'why' behind alien encounters and their implications for humanity, with an emphasis on the potential for manipulation and deception by alien intelligences, balanced with an acknowledgment of potential positive interventions.

This issue of the Journal of Abduction-Encounter Research (JAR), dated 2009, focuses on calls for new editorial staff and potential article topics, alongside detailed personal accounts of alien encounters and hypnotic regression.

Editorial and Staffing Needs

The magazine announces a vacancy on its Board of Editors, seeking an individual who is a writer/editor familiar with abduction-encounter literature, responsive, cooperative, and willing to work on the magazine. Alternatively, they are looking for someone capable and willing to assist in the design and maintenance of the magazine's website. Both positions are volunteer roles. Interested parties are directed to contact Elaine Douglass at [email protected]. The magazine also explicitly states that it does not pay its writers, offering only a one-year subscription as compensation.

Article Pitches and Research Areas

JAR is actively seeking writers for two specific stories. The first concerns Derrel Sims' findings of florescent markings on the bodies of abductees, which appear under blacklight. The magazine considers this a potentially important finding that needs in-depth reporting. The second story investigates whether the Catholic Church accepts the reality of ET abduction and if it counsels abductees. JAR has received informal information suggesting some Catholic clergy or church officials in California may be doing so, and they are looking for a writer, preferably a Catholic writer, to track down this story.

Personal Account: Telepathic Lecture and Alien Demonstration

A significant portion of the magazine details a personal experience of a telepathic lecture delivered by alien beings, referred to as "pink-orange greys." These beings, wearing unusual robes with dramatic up-turned collars, communicated telepathically to an audience of women. The core message was disappointment in the women for not breeding successfully, urging them to have children soon. The narrator expresses skepticism about the aliens' motives, finding their approach impatient and high-handed, and drawing parallels to Margaret Atwood's novel "The Handmaid's Tale."

The account also describes a demonstration where three alien females transformed into pure light and disappeared, a feat that impressed the audience. The narrator attempted to test the reality of the situation by reaching out to touch an invisible alien, which resulted in a strong telepathic rebuke and a feeling of having caused a problem related to a partially 'phased' object. The experience led to the narrator being taken aside for questioning.

Personal Account: Hypnotic Regression and Future Catastrophe

Another section details a hypnotic regression session conducted with a man named Ken, who had been repeatedly seeing triple-digit numbers on his timepieces. The session aimed to uncover the meaning behind this phenomenon. The narrative that emerged described Ken being awakened by a white, insect-like alien being, whom Ken recognized from childhood encounters. This being conveyed that it was time for Ken to embark on a journey to Caldwell, Ohio, within three days. The purpose of this journey was to be lifted off Earth in a large craft to avoid a "huge earth catastrophe" that was soon to occur. Ken was shown holographic scenes of impending disasters on Earth, including floods, storms, and upheavals. The alien, who identified himself as Ken's protector, gave Ken a crescent-shaped ring as a reminder of their long relationship and to help him on his journey. Ken felt a sense of duty and excitement about this new adventure, realizing his earthly possessions were not important in comparison to living in a different environment, possibly on another planet. He hoped his wife would also be rescued.

Author Profile: Jayna Conkle

The issue includes a profile of Jayna Conkle, an abductee who had her first conscious, fully-recalled experience at age 16 in 1986. She later encountered Budd Hopkins' work and developed contacts within the abductee community. Conkle continues to explore issues surrounding abduction experiences and leads a calm, conventional life in the Pacific Northwest.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue reflects JAR's ongoing commitment to documenting abduction experiences, alien encounters, and related phenomena. The magazine actively seeks contributions from researchers and firsthand accounts, as evidenced by the calls for writers and the detailed personal narratives. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, while also acknowledging the skepticism and personal interpretations of the experiences. The recurring themes include the nature of alien communication (telepathy), the potential for alien-driven breeding programs, the physical characteristics of aliens, and the psychological impact of these encounters. The magazine also explores the use of hypnotic regression as a tool for investigating these phenomena.

This issue of JAR magazine, identified as issue number 27, is published by John Carpenter and focuses on ufology, with a particular emphasis on alien abduction experiences and extraterrestrial contact. The content is primarily in English and draws heavily on research and cases from Brazil and the USA.

Ken's Abduction Scenario

The issue details a hypnotic regression session with an abductee named Ken, who experienced a scenario involving a future earth catastrophe and rescue by extraterrestrial beings. Ken recalled purchasing a white van with beige upholstery, picking up a co-worker and her son, and then a male friend from his support group. The group then drove east, crossing the Mississippi River, towards Caldwell, Ohio, which Ken identified as a pickup point for alien spacecraft. He remembered his wife and wondered if she was also being taken.

During the session, Ken was told that the humans present had previously been extraterrestrial beings returning to their original species. They were prepared for the conditions of the destination planet. Upon arrival, they were taken to a large, round building with an overhanging roof, which Ken affectionately called the 'Clam House.' From this new world, Ken observed the destruction on Earth and anticipated future catastrophic events.

Ken's wife reportedly agreed with the scenario, and they even purchased the white van he recalled from his mental scenario. The therapist acknowledges several possibilities for Ken's experience, including telepathic suggestion, his own clairvoyant powers, or a dramatization influenced by other abductee reports.

Brazilian Ufology and Cases

The magazine extensively covers ufology in Brazil, featuring several prominent researchers and cases.

My Book in Portuguese, 2001

The author discusses his book, 'Seqüestros Alienígenas-Investigando Ufologia com e sem Hipnose,' which details 26 abduction cases with illustrations from abductees and artists.

Implants and the Compass

Conversations with American hypnotist Derrel Sims and podiatrist Roger K. Leir inspired the idea of discovering implants. An abductee's X-ray revealed two implants in her right foot. Claudeir Covo, a Brazilian ufologist, brought attention to using a compass to detect implants, as a magnetic needle gyrated rapidly when near one.

Collares Island 1977

This section recounts an investigation by the Brazilian Air Force into UFO attacks on Collares Island, where UFOs used beams of light causing wounds and deaths. Captain Uyrangê de Hollanda Lima was involved in this investigation and later encountered a large UFO. His story was presented to the Brazilian government.

The Mysterious Death of Captain Uyrange

Captain Uyrangê, who had investigated the Collares events, sought a hypnotic regression to investigate an implant in his arm. He died shortly after meeting with the author, with different opinions surrounding his death.

A Brazilian Lawyer's UFO Trip

Dr. João de Freitas Guimarães, a Roman law teacher, was abducted by two beings who looked like Europeans. He was invited into the UFO and communicated telepathically. The case was published in a newspaper after his death at 87.

The Villas Boas Case

Antônio Villas Boas, a 23-year-old tractor driver, was abducted in 1957. He was forced to have sex with an alien, experienced wounds, and skin problems. The case gained worldwide attention and was studied by ufologist Olavo Teixeira Fontes.

Other Cases and Observations

Most Known Abductions are in Brazil & the US

The USA has the most known abduction cases, with Brazil in second place. The article questions why, given population statistics, and notes the difficulty in finding hypnotists in countries like China and India.

Nine-year-old Girl's Eyes Healed by Aliens

An example of aliens with good intentions is the case of 'Dirce,' who had her serious eye illness healed by an alien during hypnosis.

Alien Terror in Brazil

Bob Pratt's book 'UFO Danger Zone–Terror and Death in Brazil' discusses deaths caused by UFOs in Brazil in 1977.

Sweat Cannot Be Faked

The case of Gonçalo, a truck driver, is detailed, where he experienced missing time and sweated profusely during hypnosis, which was considered authentic evidence of his experience.

Brain Studies Needed

The author suggests that fMRI technology could be used to study the brain changes occurring during hypnotic regression of abductees, referring to this as 'The Rangel Proof.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the nature of alien abduction, the use of hypnotic regression as a research tool, the potential for future earth catastrophes, and the existence of various types of extraterrestrial beings with different intentions. The magazine presents these accounts and investigations with an open-minded approach, acknowledging the subjective nature of some experiences while also highlighting evidence and expert opinions. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into the UFO phenomenon and its implications for humanity, encouraging further research and discussion.
