UFO Chatter by Aileen

Editor Aileen Edwards begins by wishing readers a Happy New Year and thanking them for cards, gifts, and thoughtful remembrances. She acknowledges individuals like Jim Deardorff, Whitley Streiber, Toni Wilson, Nick Edwards, and Bob Gribble for their support of Mark, who was featured in a previous issue. Edwards addresses a negative letter published in Jim Moseley's 'Saucer Smear' concerning Whitley Streiber, defending Streiber and stating that he has been instrumental in helping Mark and has risked his reputation to share his story.

Edwards expresses her belief that Streiber is being misinterpreted and maligned, attributing it to jealousy. She reaffirms the UFOCCI's 100% support for Streiber, considering him a friend to the organization and contactees/abductees. She also announces that the Rocky Mountain UFO Contactee Conference will be held for one more time, as Dr. Leo Sprinkle is retiring and moving into private practice. After this year, the UFOCCI will host the only contactee conference of its kind. The conference will be held at the 'Aloha Inn' over Labor Day weekend, with early reservation forms for rooms being sent out.

Focus on Grey Aliens and Abductions

The magazine delves into the topic of 'grey aliens,' which has been the focus of the last two issues. Edwards reports being inundated with information from across the country, leading her to believe that a bizarre phenomenon is occurring and is being hidden by the U.S. and Canadian governments. The next few issues will focus on this theme. The majority of abductions are attributed to grey aliens, though other extraterrestrial visitors may also be involved. Some sources suggest that healthy grey aliens appear yellow-green. The article mentions that 'Star Wars' is one result of efforts to combat the greys, and other ways exist but need to be implemented.

Edwards addresses skepticism from some who dismiss these accounts as 'fairy stories.' She emphasizes the importance of paying attention and bringing the issue into the open. She also recounts a conversation with a former Air Force officer who, due to military involvement in harassment, disbelieves documented cases. Edwards stresses the need for personal research and investigation for one's own 'awakening.' She states her purpose is to make people aware of what may have already happened to them, suggesting that human illogical thinking might be a clue to overcoming the situation. She recalls starting this awareness in 1983 and receiving letters from people who felt it 'upset' them, posing the question of whether people prefer to be led like sheep or be aware and formulate a plan.

Project Beta: Alien Intervention in New Mexico

This section introduces 'Project Beta,' a report concerning alien activity observed at the Manzano Weapons Storage Area near Sandia Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The report, of which 16 out of 17 pages were available, is presented as an excellent account of alien intervention. Paul F. Bennewitz, identified as the Investigator-Physicist, compiled the study. The report suggests that debunkers have initiated a campaign against Bennewitz, attempting to portray him as mentally unbalanced, which the article refutes.

Bennewitz was reportedly unaware that the U.S. Government already knew of the alien activity when he submitted his report. The study, limited to New Mexico, outlines key milestones:

1. Electronic Surveillance: Two years of continuous recorded electronic surveillance and tracking of alien ships within a sixty-mile radius of Albuquerque, with motion picture data of ships.
2. Communication Disruption: Detection and disassembly of alien communication and video channels, including local, earth, and near-space transmissions.
3. Video Reception: Constant reception of video from alien ships and underground bases, showing typical aliens, humanoids, and apparent Homosapiens.
4. Encounter Victim Analysis: A case history of an encounter victim in New Mexico revealed that apparently all victims have deliberate alien implants and accompanying scars, which were verified by X-ray and Cat Scan. Five other scar cases were also verified.
5. Direct Communication: Established constant direct communications with aliens using a computer and a Hex Decimal Code with Graphics and print-out, initiated after the U.S. base was vacated.
6. Underground Base Location: The true underground base location was divulged via the alien communication loop and precisely pinpointed.
7. Aerial and Ground Photographs: Revealed landing pylons, ships on the ground, entrances, beam weapons, and apparent launch ports, along with aliens in electrostatically supported vehicles.
8. Triangulation and Military Involvement: Cross-correlation with NASA CIR films confirmed base locations and revealed U.S. Military involvement, providing precise coordinates and the U.S. base layout.
9. Prior Alien Communication: Indicated military involvement and that the USAF had a ship, which was ignored due to studied alien psychology.
10. Alien Ship Verification: Communication confirmed the existence of an alien ship, with two wrecked and one built, powered atomically and flying, with its basing location indicated.
11. Radiation Exposure Incident: Two women and a boy near Austin, Texas, were exposed to severe radiation at close range, and their ship was seen going West with helicopters, with the U.S. Government reportedly covering expenses.
12. U.S. Ship Observation: Motion picture photographs revealed a U.S. ship or similar craft flying with the aliens, matching CIR observations of ships on the ground after the base was abandoned.

The report emphasizes that alien psychology, logic, and prime intent have been revealed through computer communications. It highlights that aliens are devious, employ deception, do not seek peace, and do not adhere to agreements, often lying. Their memory for lying is short, which allows truth to emerge through comparative computer analysis.

Alien Base and Technology Details

The report describes an alien base located on the west slope of Mt. Archeleta, near the U.S. base, referred to as 'The Diamond' due to its shape. This base extends north of a peak called 'South Peak' and features a large alloy dome with a hole in the top. Launches appear to originate from this dome, suggesting an underground egress facility. The area also contains vehicles resembling Snow Cats or Caterpillars. Numerous roadblocks and launch preparation areas with marked pads are noted. Two domed, high-voltage buildings are present, along with foundations, a helo pad, test stands, housing, and a water tank. Apparent black limousines, possibly CIA, are also observed.

The alien basing area, designated 'Unity' in computer language, is approximately three (3) km wide by eight (8) km long. The alien population is estimated at least two thousand (2000) and growing. The report notes that aliens are not infallible and have weaknesses, particularly in their internal vulnerability and lack of trust. They are highly segregated and death-oriented.

Alien ships primarily run on charge, which depletes over time and requires recharging. While ships can replenish each other, they are limited by energy conservation laws. Deprived of their base recharge capability, ships are estimated to come down within six months to a year. Disks and saucers generally cannot fly in space and are dependent on their home base. They also require water for power, oxygen, hydrogen, and sustenance. The report suggests that cutting off the water supply from the Navajo River could disable at least three internal bases.

Weaponry and Vulnerabilities

Alien weaponry is described as an electrostatic weapon with plasma generating voltages and a pulse-powered internal storage device. Its range is approximately two (2) km on the ground, and it can fire both front and back. The weapon is ineffective in rain and requires periodic recharging. On disks and saucers, the weapon has a range of up to two hundred (200) meters. Handheld weapons are described as deadly at short range. The alien technology is estimated to be at least thirty years old, employing an atomic source.

Aircraft, helicopters, and missiles can be instantly disabled without weaponry, simply by the alien's bow wave or screen. The pilot would not know what hit them. For humans on the ground, the alien can use weaponry or bow wave, creating a partial pressure envelope with instantaneous shock and G force. However, aliens are fragile and hold a tenuous position in Earth's atmosphere, losing balance and equilibrium without power.

Alien Logic and Decision Making

The aliens appear to be logic-controlled, and key decisions require higher clearance from 'THE KEEPER.' This limits instantaneous decision-making. If a 'plan' goes out of balance, they become confused, and humanoids might be the first to break and run. Their Mission Master Plan can also fall apart if pushed out of context. Psychologically, their morale is low, with pronounced dissension and a lack of trust. They are highly segregated, and death is the consequence of conflict between levels.

Alien Weaknesses and Threats

Aliens are not to be trusted and may quickly side with an opponent in a dire situation. The computer indicates potential danger in making agreements with this species. The alien kills with a beam, leaving a three to four cm purple circle on humans and cattle. Cattle mutilations are also part of their activities, with humanoids being fed by a formula made from human or cattle material. Embryos are referred to as 'organs,' with a gestation period of about one year.

The article suggests that an immediate 'cure' is unlikely, but aliens must be stopped. They are reportedly 'cutting' (abducting) many people every night. It is estimated that at least 300,000 to 2,000,000 individuals in the U.S. and worldwide have been implanted. The alien's beam weapons are a direct threat, but their primary weakness lies in their logic and internal vulnerabilities. Their ships require periodic recharging, and without it, they cannot survive long. Water is also a critical dependency for their bases and technology.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of The Missing Link strongly emphasizes the reality of alien intervention, particularly by 'grey aliens,' and suggests a deliberate government coverup. The magazine champions the work of individuals like Whitley Streiber and Paul F. Bennewitz, presenting their findings and experiences as credible despite potential criticism or attempts at debunking. The editorial stance is one of encouraging readers to be aware, conduct their own research, and understand the potential implications of alien presence and technology. There is a clear call to action to 'stop' the aliens before it is too late, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

This issue of UFO REPORT, volume 91, issue 12, dated April 18, 1988, focuses on military involvement with UFOs, potential alien weaponry, and a specific case of alleged harassment within the U.S. Army. The cover headline, "Soldier says UFO hobby is behind effort to oust him," highlights the central story concerning Sgt. Clifford Stone.

Proposed Alien Weaponry and Countermeasures

The document details a proposed weapon system designed to combat alien technology. The weapon, with two small prototypes already constructed and tested, is described as capable of discharging alien disks at range, forcing them to consume more power. At lower power, the discharge is slow, but at high power in the final sophisticated weapon, the rate can be increased significantly. Crucially, this weapon can penetrate alien screen hull alloy and everything else, making shielding impossible. Furthermore, the beam is said to affect aliens mentally, causing immediate confusion and loss of judgment, particularly in humanoids. The weapon is also believed to be able to pull alien charge weapons down rapidly. Its range is stated to exceed that of present alien weapons, and its sophisticated form can be computer-controlled for rapid tracking and lock-on, indicating eventual superiority.

Initial logistics for an attack plan are outlined, emphasizing that the approach does not include all requirements but suggests that if Air Force Intelligence pursues the suggestions, each significant requirement will be discussed. An attack must be directed near entirety on the ground. The plan also addresses vehicle ignition problems, attributing them to basic laws of physics. It is known how to prevent certain alien actions and will be discussed later, with all electrical and electronic equipment needing to be "hardened." Testing has also been done on eavesdropping and ways to abort alien capabilities.

The program would be instigated in phases, starting with planning and logistics, followed by implementation and testing of the final weapon prototype through the pre-production stage. A production of at least fifty minimum quantity is planned, with additional backup spares. It is estimated that at least one year or less would be required to reach the pre-production stage, with the key work done by Thunder Scientific and Bennewitz Labs, Ltd.

Specific attack phases include closing the gates of a dam above the Navajo River to restrict water storage, which is apparently vacuum-pumped by electrostatic means. At close range, the weapon can disable this capability. Depriving alien bases of water for four weeks is expected to cause conditions to deteriorate badly, with psychological shock being effective. If pressed, aliens may launch most of their ships. Weapons should be deployed at strategic hardened locations and activated to put an immediate power drain on airborne alien craft and ground-based weapons, and to cause mind confusion and disorientation. Within four to five weeks, alien weapons should be discharged, and personnel incapacitated. The document suggests that standard weapon technology and logistics can then be used for destruction. Communications can be used to determine status and attempt to instigate surrender.

The summary notes that the initial implementation of computer communications was not for talking to aliens but to study their strengths and weaknesses without physical confrontation. The weapon theory and prototypes were built to capitalize on two key weaknesses discovered. This in-house funded program has been expensive, exceeding $200,000.

The prime and weakest area discovered is the alien manipulation and control of the mind, both of command and humanoids. This facet is a disaster and a directly vulnerable integrated weakness for them. Though alien ships are magnificent, they are weak due to their method and unique mode of flight; their charge distribution can be discharged, even by the miniature prototype weapon. It is not implied that aliens will not fight, but their inclination is generally the opposite, and without this basing area, their mission is in deep trouble. It is estimated that there are 50,000 aliens within the Earth's ecosphere and near space. The key to overall success is that they totally respect force. The most effective method is to stubbornly continue to pick and pull at their defense with no letup. Faced with the total loss of a base, their mission will be grossly weakened and badly slowed. Americans must realize they cannot rely on moral principles; negotiation is out. They must be dealt with like a mad dog. Because they have invaded our country and airspace and violated personal and mental integrity, eliminating this threat does not make us the aggressor.

In conclusion, aliens cannot be trusted, are deceptive and death-oriented, have no moral respect for human life, and no negotiation or compromise can be settled with them. No quarter can be allowed; once the offense is instigated, it cannot be abandoned. Reciprocal reprisal will immediately result. They must be made to come down or destroy themselves, or leave Earth immediately. Any other outcome is not tolerated.

Sgt. Clifford Stone Case

Sgt. Clifford Stone, a U.S. Army sergeant working for the New Mexico Military Institute, claims his supervisors are trying to force him into early retirement due to his hobby of investigating UFOs. He has been relieved of his clerical duties and is now reportedly paid to sweep floors, smoke cigars, and drink coffee. His troubles apparently began with a June 21, 1987 memo attached to a newspaper article quoting him as a UFO researcher.

Stone states that Lt. Col. James R. Scullary and Maj. Deborah K. Flachsbarth, his supervisors, initiated actions against him. The memo questioned when SFC Stone would reach his 20-year mark for retirement benefits. Stone claims he had planned to stay in the military but was forced to sign retirement papers under duress, facing an adverse evaluation that would have forced him out anyway, potentially costing him retirement benefits.

Stone said the Department of Defense's Inspector General's Office investigated allegations that several military regulations were violated by his superiors. Officials from the department could not confirm or deny the report. Scullary was reportedly unaware of Stone's UFO hobby until the newspaper article last summer and told Stone not to make Freedom of Information Act requests or contact Congressional representatives without consulting superiors.

On October 15, 1987, Scullary told Stone he was creating an embarrassment to the Command and that other agencies would think a nut was making requests. Stone responded that if he was a nut, he was in good company. Scullary allegedly threatened to damage his career and ensure he would never receive another promotion.

Stone's annual written evaluation in January 1986 was outstanding, with Scullary noting him as the best non-commissioned officer he had seen in 17 years. However, in October 1987, Scullary removed Stone from clerical duties. In January of that year, Scullary and Flachsbarth signed an extremely poor military evaluation, stating Stone was unfit for duty.

Stone was forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the Community Mental Health Services Center at Fort Bliss on November 4, 1987, due to his UFO interests. The report, signed by clinical psychologist Dr. Robert F. Smith, stated that the command may have overreacted to the newspaper article and that Stone demonstrates no psychotic problems but is experiencing stress on the job. Flachsbarth requested the examination, stating Stone failed to perform certain duties and that his interest in extraterrestrials was not clearly defined, perceiving it as a crusade rather than a hobby, and that he could not sort fact from fiction.

An ATOD-CDR memorandum dated September 12, 1988, concerning a Commander's Inquiry into the Relief for Cause Evaluation Report on SFC Clifford K. Stone, found that the relief was not justified due to insufficient substantiation of "inefficiency and unreliability." The administration of the relief action was flawed, with incorrect preparation of five versions of the Relief EER. The report suggests that Stone's relief was likely a result of a failed attempt to pressure him to retire early. The XO (indorser) overreacted to Stone's UFO interest and congressional contact, exhibiting intolerance and bias. The conclusions state that Stone's relief is highly questionable, with documentation of performance-oriented counseling, close supervision, and professional guidance conspicuously lacking. The rater and indorser mishandled SFC Stone in response to minor professional failings. The "Relief for Cause" appears inappropriate given the nature and duration of his misdeeds. The EERs for the period 8702 thru 8710/8801 show administrative mishandling, with changes made to cover up errors. Reconstruction of events suggests the narrative was fabricated to substantiate a preconceived course of action to eliminate him as an "embarrassment." The XO attempted cognitive restructuring through pressure, intimidation, or insinuation. The recommendation is to void the Relief for Cause EER from SFC Stone's Official Military Personnel File, as it was an inaccurate rating and prejudicial to his career. Both the rater and indorser were relieved later, raising questions about the report's validity.

Donald E. Keyhoe

Donald Edward Keyhoe, a retired Marine Corps major who believed in unidentified flying objects from outer space, died of pneumonia and cardiac arrest at age 91. He had a career as a pilot and accompanied Charles A. Lindbergh on publicity flights. His interest in UFOs began in 1949, and he wrote books such as "Flying Saucers are Real" and "Flying Saucers From Outer Space." He directed the National Committee on Aerial Phenomena, which sought to persuade the Air Force to investigate UFO sightings.

Cattle Mutilation Report

A report by Jim Van Avery on cattle parts dated December 11, 1988, details findings at Lincoln Rock, above E. Wenatchee, Washington. Parts were found within a 4' radius with no human footprints. The heart and other parts appeared to be no more than one day old. The location of the parts did not make sense with the surroundings, being just off the road. Grass was sticking out of the stomach and had not been digested. A diagram shows a clean cut with food still in the stomach, a pool of blood 7" in diameter, and a heart. Hoof prints with sharp points were also noted.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue strongly suggests a pattern of military cover-ups and harassment related to UFO investigations. The case of Sgt. Stone exemplifies how a soldier's interest in UFOs can lead to severe professional repercussions, including alleged forced retirement and psychiatric evaluation, despite findings of bias and mishandling by superiors. The proposed weapon system against aliens implies a serious, ongoing threat that the military is preparing to counter. The inclusion of Donald Keyhoe's obituary highlights the historical significance of UFO research within a military context. The editorial stance, particularly in the "Editor's Note," is highly critical of the Army's actions against Sgt. Stone, believing the harassment is intended to shut down information about "Project Snowbird" and prevent it from becoming public. The overall tone suggests a belief in the reality of UFOs and alien presence, and a suspicion of official attempts to suppress information.
