Articles in this Issue

One man's struggle for freedom from abduction (Part 1)

This article, by Anonymous, details the beginning of an individual's awareness of a hidden life involving aliens and UFOs, which he claims has been occurring for over 50 years. His life changed abruptly on December 21, 2007, when he became aware of this reality. The article includes a photograph taken by the author, which he states shows what a digital camera sees when an entity enters the window, not what he sees directly.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to—Did this UFO researcher get breast cancer from unnatural causes?

Written by Elaine Douglass, this article explores the author's personal experience with breast cancer, diagnosed in June 2008 as Stage 4. She draws parallels to the aggressive cancer that killed Karla Turner. Douglass recounts an untoward event from early 2007 when she was informed by a local phone company operator in Bullfrog, Utah, that her phone was tapped. She also mentions Justin Mitchell, a former MUFON member who experienced startling dreams and sightings before withdrawing from the UFO community. Douglass emphasizes that she is not seeking attention and has never claimed to be under surveillance before, even during past UFO protest activities.

Amicizia: a story of friendship in Italy

Stefano Breccia writes about the 'Amicizia' phenomenon, where people from different cultures and languages have given the same name to their experiences with non-human beings. His book, 'Mass Contacts,' discusses a case involving 150 earthlings in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Siberia, Argentina, Australia, and Chile, who maintained cordial relations with extraterrestrials for 32 years, from the 1950s to 1978, though the aliens claim the contact has lasted millennia. The story began in 1956 near Ascoli Piceno, Italy, when psychiatrist Bruno Sammaciccia met two aliens, one tall (8.2 feet) and one short (3.3 feet).

The Connor O'Ryan Story

Authored by Elaine Douglass, this article delves into the story of Connor O'Ryan, a supposed S-4 whistleblower. The piece questions whether O'Ryan was given a fatal disease by the U.S. government. Douglass notes that while the UFO community has claims of researchers and witnesses being murdered via inflicted diseases, she was unable to substantiate them until O'Ryan's story emerged. The article suggests that O'Ryan may have been falsely told he had a disease to destabilize him. It highlights O'Ryan's background, including 11 years in Special Forces on assignment to the CIA, and his belief that the U.S. government could inflict a fatal disease to eliminate individuals.

MUFON launches scientific study to see what makes abductees tick

This article announces that MUFON has initiated 'Omega 3,' a comparative study of abductees/experiencers and community controls. The study, led by the MUFON Abduction/Experiencer Research Committee, aims to identify personality characteristics associated with alien abduction and its long-term consequences. The committee includes 12 individuals from various scientific and professional disciplines, with psychologists Robert B. LeLieuvre and Michael Freeman serving as principal investigators. MUFON has allocated $2,000 for the study. The article also references a 1990 study by Ring and Rosing that compared UFO encounter and near-death experience individuals, finding similarities in childhood experiences, abuse, trauma, and psi phenomena.

Additional Content from Continued Articles

Pages 9 and 10 continue the 'Amicizia' story, detailing how Bruno Sammaciccia met the W56s (aliens named by Bruno, with 'W' derived from their moral precept of continuous self-victory) and the CTRs ('our enemy brothers'). It discusses the W56s' underground bases, which were not excavated but created by pushing earth sideways, and their ships, which are described as mobile laboratories. The beings' stated goal is to elevate humankind's consciousness and morality, for which they asked Bruno to build a large villa. The article also touches upon the physical characteristics of the W56s and CTRs, noting their human-like appearance but extreme height variations (from 10 inches to 20 feet).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around personal UFO abduction experiences, the potential for government or alien interference in the lives and health of researchers and witnesses, and the scientific investigation of these phenomena. The magazine appears to maintain an open stance towards exploring these topics, providing a platform for personal accounts and research initiatives like MUFON's study. The editorial board comprises individuals with backgrounds in psychology, social work, and related fields, suggesting a serious approach to the subject matter.

This issue of the magazine, likely "Mass Contacts" given the content and cover references, focuses on extraterrestrial encounters and related phenomena, primarily through the writings and experiences of Stefano Breccia. The issue delves into the "Amicizia" group's contacts with beings referred to as W56s, detailing their interactions, beliefs, and a significant conflict.

The W56s and Amicizia

The article "Amicizia: a story of friendship in Italy" by Stefano Breccia is discussed, with a critique by Barbara Lamb highlighting a perceived lack of detail regarding the aliens themselves, their methods of elevating humanity, and the nature of their teachings. Lamb questions the source of Breccia's information about the W56s and CTRs, and the proof of the war between them. She also expresses a preference for learning more about Breccia's direct experiences rather than the "jokes" attributed to the W56s or the process of writing his book.

Breccia recounts the W56s' belief in "Uredda," a living entity of friendship crucial to their strength. He describes the deterioration of this entity within Bruno's group in 1978, leading to confusion and some members trying to profit from the information. A notable incident involved a scientist whose diagnosis for a dying girl was confuted by the W56s' intervention, causing her to leave the group.

A War and Departure

In 1978, a war broke out, with the W56s' superiority over the CTRs decreasing. This conflict, lasting a couple of months, resulted in W56 casualties, forcing them to abandon Earth. During this period, the Adriatic Sea experienced extreme conditions, including massive waves and strange lights, and a fishing ship sank. Numerous UFO sightings were reported over central Italy.

Breccia notes that contact seemingly ended in 1978, but activity continued in subsequent years. His last voice contact was in 1992 during an international flight, where he received a message about a minor plane problem. He also describes ongoing "jokes" from the W56s in his daily life.

The Book "Mass Contacts"

Breccia explains the genesis of his book, "Mass Contacts." The project was initiated by Bruno, who asked Breccia to help write his memories about the W56s. Breccia initially hesitated due to the sensitive nature of the information and the involvement of well-known people. He agreed to use only first names. The process involved tape recordings of Bruno's experiences, which Breccia transcribed and supplemented with his own opinions. Hans, a friend from Germany involved in Amicizia's German branch, also contributed his experiences.

After Bruno's death in 2003, Breccia considered abandoning the book. However, Roberto Pinotti, President of the Italian UFO organization CUN, convinced him to continue, emphasizing the risk of the story being forgotten as the older members of Amicizia passed away. Pinotti also began publishing articles on the W56s in the CUN magazine, generating anticipation.

More witnesses came forward, including Gaspare De Lama. Other books on Amicizia were planned, with some individuals choosing to remain anonymous. Paola Harris encouraged an English version of Breccia's book, with Robert Girard assisting. New younger individuals are joining the Amicizia scene, and the story is expanding to South America.

Stefano's Personal Experiences

Breccia details his personal experiences, starting with his first contact in 1956 in Pisa with a researcher named Sigis, who claimed to be an exile. Their communications involved in-person meetings, phone calls, early email, and wireless broadcasts. The W56s could override ordinary radio signals. Breccia recounts Sigis's playful nature, including a memorable incident in Moscow involving dancing and vodka. Sigis eventually resigned from his university job and moved frequently. After about thirty years, Breccia felt he could no longer sustain this dual involvement and parted ways with Sigis and the W56s as friends.

He also describes technical experiments with Giancarlo, a member of Bruno's group, which sometimes yielded strange results with devices. One demonstration involved a device that produced a huge flame outside Torino.

The Connor O'Ryan Story

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the story of Connor O'Ryan (real name Derek Hennessey), a former US Marine allegedly involved with the secret Air Force facility S-4 near Area 51. Wendelle Stevens, a UFO researcher, is the primary source for this narrative. O'Ryan contacted Stevens in October 1991, claiming to have information about alien discs and bodies at S-4. He stayed with Stevens for six weeks, during which he revealed his work as a government assassin, including allegedly killing 18 people. He also spoke of smuggling a camera into S-4 to take pictures of alien technology, which were secreted in multiple locations.

O'Ryan claimed he was diagnosed with a fatal form of Hodgkin's disease, which he suspected was given to him by his superiors as a form of assassination. However, the article notes that Hodgkin's is generally curable and O'Ryan reportedly felt well. He was allegedly discharged for medical reasons and felt he was being targeted. The story suggests O'Ryan's actions were driven by a desire to expose the truth before his potential death.

Stevens became apprehensive about O'Ryan's safety and moved him to the home of Jim Dilettoso. Threatening notes, including a severed human finger, were received, indicating O'Ryan was considered a "traitor." The effort to retrieve photo caches proved unsuccessful, and O'Ryan disappeared, with Stevens never hearing from him again.

Wendelle Stevens' Credibility

The article discusses Wendelle Stevens' credibility, noting his 18-year retention of the O'Ryan story, his extensive ufology background since the 1960s, and his military service. Despite some discrepancies attributed to the case's complexity and the passage of time, the author expresses belief in Stevens' account, considering it unlikely he would leave a hoax as his final legacy.

Biography of Stefano Breccia

A biography of Stefano Breccia is included, detailing his background as an electrotechnic engineer with expertise in computer graphics, applied mathematics, and fractal analysis. He has held academic positions at universities in Italy and lectured internationally. He has been involved in creating telecommunication schools in Argentina and Eastern Europe and has served on scientific committees and boards of directors for various organizations. Breccia is the author of six books in Italian and two in English, including "Mass Contacts," published in 2007 and 2009 respectively. He is married and lives in Chieti, Italy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around close encounters with extraterrestrial beings, the challenges of documenting and verifying such experiences, and the potential for government cover-ups and whistleblowing. The editorial stance, particularly from Barbara Lamb's critique, emphasizes the need for more detailed and verifiable information, suggesting that while the topic is intriguing, crucial details are often omitted, potentially serving as a "teaser" for Breccia's book.

This issue of UFO Magazine, dated March 2009, volume 25, issue 2009-03, with a cover price of $5.95, focuses heavily on the controversial case of Connor O'Ryan, a former Special Forces soldier. The main cover headline asks, "Did the Government Murder Connor O'Ryan?" The issue also features a drawing of an alien head and a photo of UFO researcher Ron Regehr.

The Case of Connor O'Ryan

The central narrative revolves around Connor O'Ryan, who claimed to be a government assassin involved in "special missions." Wendelle Stevens, a UFO researcher, provides significant insight into O'Ryan's story. O'Ryan described his missions as taking out "enemies of the American government," including traitors or spies who possessed secrets the government wanted to keep hidden. He reportedly had a tattoo with 18 marks, each representing a "special mission."

The Budapest Assassination

One specific incident detailed is O'Ryan's alleged assassination of a US Army Green Beret, senior sergeant, in Budapest, Hungary, in 1991. O'Ryan was given Hungarian clothes, a weapon, and ammunition, and was paired with another Special Forces troop. They were given keys to a rented apartment and planned the operation. The target was killed while leaving a grocery store with his children present. O'Ryan and his partner then disappeared into the crowd and returned to the Embassy.

O'Ryan's Discharge and "Fatal Disease"

O'Ryan claimed he was discharged from the military for medical reasons, stating he was "unfit to perform my duties." According to Wendelle Stevens, a few days after his physical, O'Ryan was told he had a fatal disease that would kill him in two to three weeks. However, O'Ryan himself stated on video that he was going to be put back in the regular Navy, but was promised he would be taken care of medically. The article questions the validity of the "fatal disease" diagnosis, noting that Hodgkin's disease, which O'Ryan claimed to have, is not typically fatal and that O'Ryan showed no symptoms and felt perfectly well.

The S-4 Facility and Espionage

O'Ryan was stationed at S-4, a facility with draconian security, which he found boring but also a source of profound vulnerability upon learning the nature of the secret he was guarding. He believed he was being targeted due to espionage. He discovered three other individuals at S-4 who felt similarly, and they took pictures. The article suggests that the government may have discovered this activity and decided to destabilize O'Ryan and put him on the street.

The "Intrusion of the Ninjas"

The article describes two covert intrusions on the Dilettoso property. The first involved a man dressed in black Ninja attire pointing an AK47 at Gem Cox's head, while another Ninja guarded Connor. A third man in a business suit searched the room. The intruders allegedly used a gas to render the inhabitants unconscious. A second intrusion occurred in November, with a Ninja leaving footprints on the wet lawn.

O'Ryan on the Run

O'Ryan believed he was being assassinated by the government, possibly due to his knowledge of 18 assassinations. He was concerned about his own execution, stating, "I probably know too much after the 18th assassination." He also believed he had a fatal disease, which he felt justified his own potential demise. He was on the run and eventually contacted Wendelle Stevens. His bank accounts were frozen, and Wendelle had to send him money.

The Government's Motivation

The article speculates on the government's motives. One theory is that O'Ryan was used as a training exercise for Special Forces and as a punishment, serving as an object lesson to insiders about the futility of rebelling against the US government. Another possibility is that the government wanted O'Ryan on the street to lead them to photo caches he had hidden.

"You're a traitor"

Notes written in Special Forces lingo began accusing O'Ryan of being a "traitor," with symbols indicating seized photo caches. The incident with O'Ryan's ID card, which he buried and then disappeared, suggested it had a tracking device, indicating his movements were known.

The Vinnie DePaula Case

The issue also presents the case of Vinnie DePaula, a UFO researcher who died of prostate cancer in 1986. Ron Regehr, DePaula's friend, believes he was eliminated by the US government after being interrogated for 41 hours by the Defense Investigative Service (DIS) about an alien head drawing. DePaula's doctor claimed his cancer was caused by intense radiation, leading to speculation that a radioactive slug might have been placed in his interrogation chair.

Lack of Evidence and Fears

Despite the fears within the UFO community about murders and assassinations, the article emphasizes the lack of concrete evidence. While many researchers and witnesses have experienced harassment, the perpetrators are often unknown, with speculation pointing to either aliens or US government agents involved in a UFO coverup. The author personally suspects "Americans" rather than aliens in cases of harm to researchers.

The Brassiere Event and Cancer

The author recounts a personal experience of waking up with his brassiere around his waist, which he later connected to finding a lump in his breast eight months later, leading to a cancer diagnosis. He acknowledges that this may be a coincidence and not directly related to any external interference.

The Death of Vinnie DePaula (Continued)

Further details on Vinnie DePaula's case are discussed, including scientific opinions on radiation exposure and cancer. A scientist suggested that if radiation were the cause, prostate cancer would be unlikely, and colon/rectal cancer more probable.

Conclusion on O'Ryan

The article concludes that while O'Ryan's case is suspicious, it does not definitively prove the US government assassinates people using fatal diseases. However, it is presented as one of the closest pieces of substantiation to such a claim.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include government secrecy, assassination, mind control, alleged government involvement in deaths, and the UFO coverup. The editorial stance appears to be one of deep suspicion towards government agencies and their potential for covert operations, while also acknowledging the difficulty in obtaining definitive proof for such extraordinary claims. The magazine aims to present these cases and encourage readers to consider the possibility of such activities, even in the absence of irrefutable evidence.

This issue of the Journal of Anomalous Research (JAR), Volume 1, Number 3, dated July 2008, focuses on the perceived dangers and threats within the UFO community. The cover story, "UFO Researchers Afraid to Write!", highlights the potential risks faced by individuals investigating UFO phenomena, including alleged murders, government surveillance, and alien retaliation. The magazine features articles exploring these themes, personal accounts, and an in-depth look at reverse speech analysis.

Allegations of Murder and Threats

The issue begins by addressing the question of whether people in the UFO community are being murdered. It discusses the case of Karla Turner, an abduction researcher who died of aggressive breast cancer in 1996, with some believing she was murdered. Her husband, associate Barbara Bartholic, and Jeff Polachek, who maintains her website, cannot provide specific evidence but suspect foul play, possibly by Americans or aliens. The article notes that UFO researchers are claimed to die "prematurely" of cancer, but this lacks statistical backing.

Other individuals mentioned as potentially murdered include Phil Schneider, who lectured about underground bases and aliens, and New Zealander Dean Warwick. The article references Schellhorn's article and Phil Schneider's ex-wife's statement as substantiating these suspicions.

Derrel Sims, a UFO researcher and abductee, shares his impression that aliens do not want abductees to cooperate with him. He recounts a woman who feared her children would be harmed if she provided more information, and another instance where alien "MIBs" threatened to destroy David if an implant wasn't removed from his fiancée.

Michael Menkin, who creates "Thought Screen Helmets" for abductees, reports that some users have faced alien threats and retaliation. Examples include a woman and her daughter being threatened, and another abductee's dog dying under suspicious circumstances after she persisted in wearing the helmet.

Ted Rice recounts an abduction experience where his grandmother was forced into sexual acts with aliens and subsequently died of a stroke, which Rice attributes to alien threats.

The article distinguishes between threats and actual punishment, noting that aliens routinely use threats to gain obedience. Karla Turner reportedly told Derrel Sims that aliens showed her a clone of herself, implying they could kill her and replace her. Jim Sparks, who learned an alien language, experienced physical and psychological distress when attempting to write it alone.

Threats are also discussed from the American side, with a MILAB victim reporting being told their soul could be "prematurely separated from your body" and threatened with death. Joe Montaldo describes being pursued by a white van and threatened if he didn't "back off."

A bug was discovered in James Carrion's house, suspected to be government-installed, leading to concerns about surveillance.

Several UFO researchers express fear of drawing attention from the "intel community." One colleague recounts break-ins at his house where his abduction research was erased, suggesting a message was sent.

Edgar Mitchell, in a 2008 interview, stated that while Americans used to "knock people off" over UFO issues, they have stopped. However, the author expresses doubt about Mitchell's overall awareness, as he also claimed aliens are not dangerous.

More Schellhornisms discusses an article by "Jonathan Andrews" (pseudonym) alleging that "Powers that Be" resort to murder, though Andrews' research is found to be weak. The Connor O'Ryan story is introduced, concerning a US Marine who claimed the government was trying to assassinate him with a fatal disease, though the article suggests this may not have been the case.

Reverse Speech Analysis

The issue features a significant section on reverse speech analysis, with the author undergoing sessions with analyst Jon Kelly. The author recounts personal experiences, including waking up with her brassiere unhooked and a mark on her ankle, and a dream of a man in her room. Hypnosis yielded no memories.

Reverse speech analysis of the author's speech revealed phrases such as "Evidence my death," "Her snake felt the sun god," "Must be the devil," and "Crazy for the space man."

Jon Kelly interprets these reverses, suggesting they relate to the author's fears about her health (cancer), her sexuality, her interest in ufology, and potential encounters with mysterious figures. The analysis also touches upon the possibility of government involvement, referencing the Connor O'Ryan story and Ninja intruders.

Further reverse speech analysis is presented for Connor O'Ryan, with a reverse stating "The ride ended up with their deep sign," interpreted as referring to the secret of extraterrestrial contact.

Medical Condition and Personal Experiences

The author details a medical check-up revealing a swelling in her breast a year after surgery, which was initially deemed fine but later resolved. She also underwent tests for a bug in her ear, which were negative.

She recounts an incident from 25 years prior where she encountered a small, bundled figure speaking an unintelligible language, which spooked her. She also describes waking up with her breast exposed and her brassiere unhooked, initially dismissing it as a loose fastener but later questioning it in light of other events.

Another incident involved waking up with a distinct memory of a man sticking needles in her ankles and lower legs. She also describes waking up with her right breast exposed, which she had previously had surgery on.

UFO Researchers and Secrecy

The article touches upon the idea that the US government might use covert operations, such as introducing fatal diseases, to eliminate perceived threats. The Connor O'Ryan story is presented as an example of someone who believed he was targeted in this way.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the pervasive threats and dangers faced by individuals involved in UFO research and abduction experiences. These threats are attributed to both extraterrestrial entities and human government agencies, suggesting a complex and potentially dangerous landscape for those who investigate these phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of caution and investigation, encouraging readers to subscribe to JAR for potentially life-threatening articles and to be aware of the risks involved in pursuing this knowledge. The use of reverse speech analysis highlights a methodology aimed at uncovering hidden truths and personal experiences related to these sensitive topics.

This issue of "UFO" (Issue 479, dated 2008) is primarily a first-person narrative from an individual who identifies as an abductee, detailing their experiences with alien encounters, particularly with beings referred to as 'greys.' The magazine explores the personal journey of the author from initial disbelief to acceptance of their abduction experiences, including attempts to deter these encounters through self-experimentation.

Personal Abduction Experiences

The author recounts a history of anomalous experiences, including witnessing UFOs and later realizing they had been in contact with aliens for decades without conscious awareness. A significant aspect of their experience involves waking up with bruised arms, which they attribute to the 'greys' holding them during abductions. They also describe simultaneous awakenings with their wife, both staring at the ceiling, and the feeling that something has occurred during the night.

The 'Greys' and Their Methods

The author details encounters with 'greys,' describing two types: shorter ones (under five feet) and taller ones (six feet or more), who seem to hold leadership or scientific roles. The 'greys' are depicted as having programmed behaviors, akin to robots. The author notes that the aliens often leave signs of their presence, such as the 'knock out' effect upon return, and that they actively try to prevent abductees from remembering the encounters.

Memory Recall and Hypnosis

Recovering memories of abductions is presented as a difficult process, with the aliens attempting to induce sleep to hinder recall. The author developed a method to recognize signs of recent abduction and stay awake to facilitate memory retrieval. Regressive hypnosis was also employed, with a hypnotherapist helping the author relive experiences from childhood, including seeing aliens and experiencing lost time.

Self-Experimentation to Deter Abductions

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the author's experiments aimed at making abductions more difficult for the aliens. Initially, the author tied a rope with complex knots around their wrist, testing the greys' ability to untie them. When this proved somewhat effective, the author escalated the experiment by creating a 'chest strap' with even more intricate knots, secured to the bed, to further impede the aliens.

Physical Evidence and Psychological Impact

The author notes that the physical evidence of abductions, such as bruised arms, became a 'badge of honor' after understanding its cause. The psychological impact of these experiences is profound, shifting the author's life and beliefs. The narrative highlights the author's initial struggle to accept the reality of abductions, contrasting with their later acceptance and proactive approach.

Research and Methodologies in UFO Studies

The issue also touches upon the broader field of UFO research, referencing studies and researchers like Dr. David Jacobs, Budd Hopkins, and MUFON's Omega 3 study. The importance of homogeneous subject groups in abduction research is discussed, advocating for studies that compare clear abduction experiences with those who are simply interested in UFOs. The recruitment process for a study is outlined, involving informed consent, questionnaires, and demographic forms, aiming to compare abductees with a community control group.

Specific Incidents and Observations

Several specific incidents are recounted, including an encounter where the author's knowledge of an alien skit unnerved a man. The author also describes seeing 'intricately designed balls of light' in red and white, which they interpret as a manifestation of the aliens. The experiments with the rope and strap are detailed, showing the aliens' persistent attempts to overcome the deterrents, albeit with visible signs of their efforts, such as loosened knots.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are personal abduction experiences, the nature of 'greys,' memory recall techniques, and the challenges of conducting scientific research in the field of UFO studies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into anomalous phenomena, with a strong emphasis on personal testimony and the author's direct, albeit unconventional, investigative methods. The issue suggests that while aliens may be real and capable of interacting with humans, they are not necessarily omnipotent and can be deterred or at least inconvenienced by human ingenuity.

This issue of JAR (Journal of Abduction-Encounter Research) features a detailed first-person account by an anonymous author who has been subjected to alien abductions, primarily by beings referred to as 'greys'. The author describes a prolonged effort to resist these abductions by developing and testing an 'alien abduction-proof' chest strap. The issue also touches upon alien mind control techniques and the author's desire for memory recall and a more equitable relationship with the abductors.

The Abduction-Proof Chest Strap

The author details his attempts to create a strap that the 'greys' could not remove. Initially, he used complex knots, which the aliens consistently untied and retied, often in a sloppy manner that indicated they did not want him to know they had tampered with it. He found that the aliens were willing to untie knots but not to cut the strap, speculating this was due to a rule against leaving unmistakable evidence.

To overcome this, the author resorted to sewing the loose end of the strap down, making it impossible for the aliens to untie the knots without undoing the sewing. This method proved successful, and the author reports that after implementing this, he was no longer abducted for an entire week. He emphasizes that the strap needed to be short and taut to be effective.

Alien Mind Control and Tricks

Despite the success of the physical strap, the author describes how the aliens then resorted to mind control and psychological tricks. He recounts instances where the greys implanted thoughts or commands into his mind, such as the word 'SLEEP', which caused him to unconsciously remove the strap and be abducted. Another trick involved simulating an owl's hoot outside his window, attempting to lure him out of bed.

The author states that he has learned to recognize these tricks and is becoming more resistant. He views each failure as a learning experience, strengthening his resolve to outsmart the aliens. He acknowledges the greys' power in mind control but asserts his own developing abilities to resist and correct their influence.

Evidence and Bargaining

The author posits that the aliens' reluctance to cut the strap stems from a rule against leaving behind clear evidence of their presence, evidence that could be shown to others. He believes that by demonstrating his awareness and resistance, he has gained leverage.

He expresses a desire to move beyond a one-sided relationship and enter into a 'joint venture' with the aliens. He wants to bargain for specific returns, primarily complete memory recall of all abduction events, not just screen memories. He also wishes for the opportunity to assist other humans during abductions, suggesting a role in providing comfort or support.

Communication and Future Prospects

The author notes that while he has communicated with 'hybrids' on their craft, direct communication with the greys at his home has been non-existent. He is looking for a way to communicate with the 'tall greys' at the alien base to lay out his terms. He concludes that the 'good old days' of easy abductions are over for the greys, and he is optimistic about his future ability to resist and negotiate.

The issue also includes subscription information for JAR and an announcement for Part 2 of this article, promising to explore the greys' further attempts to stop abductee resistance.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this article are resistance to alien abduction, the development of countermeasures (physical and psychological), the nature of alien intelligence and their methods (mind control, tricks), and the pursuit of evidence and control by the abductee. The editorial stance, as presented through the author's narrative, is one of persistent defiance, a belief in the possibility of overcoming alien influence through observation, learning, and strategic action, and a desire for recognition and equitable interaction with alien beings. The publication itself, JAR, appears to be dedicated to documenting and exploring abduction experiences.
