The magazine aims to connect individuals with similar experiences and provide a platform for sharing information and insights.

UFO CHATTER by Alleen Edwards, Director

Alleen Edwards, Director of UFOCCI, emphasizes the organization's ongoing efforts to make itself known to the public, providing a space for those with UFO experiences to find understanding and learn from others. She recounts the center's beginnings with abductee Herb Schirmer and notes how the community has sometimes focused on whether individuals are 'hoaxing' rather than exploring their experiences. Edwards observes a shift in abductions, moving from waking to sleep states, often leaving physical marks like puncture wounds. She advocates for kindness and understanding towards abductees, comparing the mistreatment they sometimes face to the dark ages.

Edwards also discusses the "modus operandi" of abductions, suggesting it may be changing due to increased media coverage or perhaps a deliberate effort to obscure memories. She invites readers to share any unexplained marks they find on their bodies.

Contact Center News by Assoc. Director Ann Ulrich, Delta, Colorado

Ann Ulrich reports on recent meetings and visitors in western Colorado. She highlights a meeting featuring Bonnie Easterly-Huber, who shared extraordinary experiences, including a video about 'walk-in' space people named Savizar and Silarra. Bonnie's work with a metaphysical newspaper and AIDS patients is also mentioned. Bonnie recounted an incident where her daughter experienced a bright orange/red light suggesting a loving, protective energy during an emotional crisis. Another experience involved Bonnie and her son witnessing a bright orange orb. Ulrich also mentions a visit from Shirle Klein-Carsh, an associate director from British Columbia, with whom she is co-authoring a book on extraterrestrial contact. The section concludes with a report on a crystal workshop led by Laurel Williams and a recommendation for a video titled "Crystals and Healing."

WYOMING UFOCCI REPORT By Sheri Gould, Associate Director

Sheri Gould shares her experiences at a UFO conference in Laramie, Wyoming. She was amazed by the people who approached her after her talk, sharing their own experiences. Gould mentions a reading from a special Indian named Taco Geronimo, who identified her and her children as 'walk-ins.' She describes encountering a group of people who experienced a 'microsecond flash back of familiarity' after her talk. The group took a side trip to Veedavoo, where they experienced strange energies and found unusual things in photographs. Later, in Sybille Canyon, while using pendulums to find positive energy rocks, they experienced intense waves of energy. Gould then describes a vision of a Reticulan, about 5 feet tall, and a deep well with blue water. A channeler conveyed that the Reticulan's name was Anaka and invited her to their planet, stating she was once of them. The vision included a landing area shaped like a boomerang.

Gould also recounts seeing blue balls of light, some large, appearing and disappearing, particularly when discussing 'spacey' things. She notes that during the summer, 'aliens' manifested enough to be recognized, often small, like children. She also saw banners with Hebrew characters materialize and disappear. Gould connects this to a book she read, "UFO Contact from Reticulum," which describes similar blue lights and Reticulan materializations, causing her to feel a sense of confirmation.

REPORTING CORNER FROM KAYE'S SUBJECT: UFO CONNECTION:

Kaye Studstrup reports on a special viewing event organized by the Summit University's local branch in Salt Lake City, focusing on UFOs and government connections. The event featured speakers Stanton Friedman, Bruce McAbee, Linda Moulten Howell, Budd Hopkins, and Elizabeth Claire Prophet, covering secret documents from the FBI and CIA, and the knowledge governments have about alien visitation. The discussion included crashed saucers, abductions, animal mutilations, secret meetings between aliens and U.S. officials, MJ-12, secret bases, and Zeta Reticuli aliens. A conclusion was drawn that Zeta Reticuli and other aliens are dangerous. Studstrup feels that another side of the coin, such as positive abduction experiences, was not presented, suggesting a potential camouflage or a plan for a one-world government. Despite this, she considers it one of the best and most in-depth presentations she has seen, surpassing television coverage.

Delmarva UFO Contact Center By Cary Dickey, Associate Director

Cary Dickey reports on a meeting featuring David Huggins, a UFO abductee who claims to be receiving help from Whitley Streiber and Budd Hopkins. Huggins presented paintings depicting his experiences and spoke publicly for the first time. Dickey notes that the audience asked intelligent questions, and Huggins was interviewed by TV stations and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Huggins mentioned 'Praying Mantis' type aliens that were friendly but that he would try to run from if seen again. Dickey realized that he and Huggins had both been abducted by the same aliens. Huggins is still contacted by these aliens every two weeks and is reportedly scared. Dickey also mentions UFO sightings in Philadelphia and the Northeast suburbs, including reports of half-ET, half-human aliens seen in Willow Grove, PA, whose hands pulsate unlike humans.

Shirley MacLaine's Spirit Guide Goofs By David Duffy

This short piece humorously recounts Shirley MacLaine's frustration with her guru pal JZ Knight and the spirit Ramtha. MacLaine bought a $300,000 horse on Ramtha's advice, only for the horse to die shortly after. JZ Knight refused a refund, claiming the horse was healthy, while MacLaine felt Ramtha should have foreseen the outcome.

MISSISSIPPI PRESS, Pascagoula, MS: Men 'taken aboard' 15 years ago By DON BROADUS

This newspaper article from the Mississippi Press recounts the Pascagoula UFO abduction incident involving Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, which occurred 15 years prior. Hickson and Parker reported being taken aboard a spacecraft by robot-like creatures. Despite passing lie detector tests and their story holding up under hypnosis, there were non-believers. Hickson became somewhat of a celebrity, co-authoring a book about the experience. The article notes that Hickson was more than mildly interested when three persons reported seeing UFOs recently, and mentions ongoing UFO activity in the Pascagoula area.

UFO Investigation Reports (Page 9)

This section contains two UFO investigation reports. The first, from August 1979, describes a young girl and her family who saw a bright star transform into a flying saucer near Victorville. They observed tall alien beings in silver diving suits on a 'balcony' of the craft before it ascended rapidly. The second report details strange UFOs observed over St. Gerard on August 9, 1984, by six witnesses. Maryse Lessard provided drawings of the objects, including humanoids observed on a balcony and inside a spaceship, as well as a yellow and gold object with red lights, and a bright shining silver object.

Dear Editor:

Ann Ulrich responds to an article by John White in a previous issue of "The Missing Link." She expresses captivation and disagreement with White's portrayal of UFOs and aliens as 'diabolical and completely untrustworthy,' and his prediction of abductees rising up like zombies. Ulrich views UFOs as 'seeds of enlightenment' that motivate introspection and spirituality. She believes that fundamentalist movements use fear to control their followers and falsely label UFOs as demonic. Ulrich emphasizes that if she believed her contacts were deceiving her, she would not be involved in running a UFO contact center. She credits White's premise for potentially opening eyes but stresses the importance of keeping an open mind to all paranormal aspects, stating that it is wrong to chastise someone for accepting a truth that differs from one's own experience.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of "The Missing Link" revolve around personal UFO experiences, alien encounters, and the potential involvement of governments in UFO phenomena. There is a strong emphasis on the validity of abductee testimonies and the importance of providing a supportive community for those who have had such experiences. The editorial stance, particularly evident in Ann Ulrich's letter, advocates for an open-minded approach to the UFO subject, cautioning against fear-based interpretations and encouraging empathy towards experiencers. The magazine also highlights the activities of UFOCCI, positioning itself as a resource for information and connection within the UFO community.

This issue of UFO Magazine, dated October 1988, focuses on dramatic claims of alien involvement and government cover-ups. The cover story features Gary Stollman, who interrupted a live newscast by TV consumer reporter David Horowitz to read a statement alleging he was a clone created by the CIA and alien forces. The magazine also includes a lengthy letter from an engineer detailing his involvement in investigating multiple crashed, unidentified aircraft between 1975 and 1980, and a report on the Hernandez family's alleged UFO encounter and subsequent physical anomalies.

Gary Stollman's Statement & Crisis on Horowitz Newscast

The lead story details Gary Stollman's bizarre actions during a KNBC newscast hosted by David Horowitz. Stollman, armed with a replica gun, demanded that Horowitz read a four-page statement. In this statement, Stollman declared that he was not the biological son of the man who had appeared on KNBC for three years, but rather a clone created by the CIA and alien forces as part of a plot to overthrow the U.S. government. He claimed the CIA had replaced and tried to destroy his family and friends, and that he had been forcibly committed to mental hospitals where he experienced "nightmares no human being could imagine." Stollman also asserted that the CIA had towed barges filled with diseases across New York Harbor and placed lightbulbs in subways to cause vertigo, and had created the AIDS virus to target the gay population. He further alleged that the CIA assassinated John F. Kennedy and the 22 material witnesses, calling it a "mathematical impossibility" for them all to have died within two years. Stollman demanded the release of secret Air Force files on UFOs and information about objects in Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, questioning why such advanced knowledge was kept secret. He recounted a story from a girl at Florida Junior College whose friends had been "replaced" and disappeared for a week, returning with different personalities. Stollman stated he was warned in 1981 to stay off computers and received disturbing calls, leading to his commitment to a mental hospital. He also mentioned a counselor named Pat involved in recruiting members for a secret group that adopted orphans and gave them fake IDs. Stollman concluded by asking for a Congressional Investigation and federal protection for his family.

New Book Announcement

A brief announcement promotes a new book by Jose Arguelles titled "Surfers of the Zuvuya," described as a fantastic tale of interdimensional travel. It can be ordered from Bear & Company.

A Lie is Still a Lie (Column by George McCormick)

George McCormick's column criticizes the government and military for their consistent dishonesty, particularly regarding national security and embarrassing revelations. He argues that denials from these entities often confirm the truth. McCormick highlights the U.S. Air Force's repeated lies about the stealth fighter, which they eventually admitted existed after years of denial. He points out the contradiction of the government accusing Lockheed Corporation of losing documents related to the stealth program while simultaneously denying its existence. McCormick asserts that this deceit undermines public trust and is a fundamental immorality that threatens the nation.

More Evidence of the Coverup (Letter from William J. Caldwell)

This section features a letter from William J. Caldwell, a subscriber who shares information from an engineer who worked in the private sector and with the government. From 1975 to 1980, the engineer was involved in investigations related to "E.T. material" under "Project Pluto," which had five levels of security and control. He describes being rushed to a remote site in upstate Pennsylvania where an aircraft had crashed. The site was secured, and a construction site was built around the wreck. The engineer observed that the crash site was a large hole, with the disturbed soil pushed back, suggesting a magnetic field had cleared the earth. He described the craft as cigar-shaped, with no visible engines. He held a piece of the wreck, a material weighing almost nothing, unlike any metal or plastic he had seen. He also noted unusual grooves on the craft. In 1978, he was sent to another crash site in a lake in upstate Pennsylvania, where similar phenomena occurred, including a magnetic field and burnt electrical equipment. In 1979, a similar incident happened in southern Texas, and another in a lake in Northern Pennsylvania. The engineer believes these aircraft do not belong to any government on Earth, as no revolutionary changes in human aircraft have occurred in over twelve years. He speculates that at least two such aircraft are hidden, and that the companies involved have made significant leaps forward in electromagnetic forces. He concludes that if these aircraft are from space, the planet must be full of visitors, and that landing on water or flat surfaces seems easier for them. He expresses a preference for dealing with hard evidence but admits to leaning towards the experimental aircraft story, though he now believes it was a cover story. He questions whether any life forms were removed from the wrecks, suggesting they might have been mechanical flights or for testing for unknown bacteria. He believes that if these beings meant harm, humanity would know by now, and that their arrival is a feat worthy of publication. He feels safe assuming they have left humanity in the "stone age" and expresses no fear of contact, even wondering if he would have approached a being if the door had opened.

He also recounts being warned in 1981 to stay off computers and receiving disturbing calls, leading to his commitment to a mental hospital. He mentions a counselor named Pat involved in recruiting members for a secret group that adopted orphans and gave them fake IDs. He believes there are beings with the power to teleport, read minds, and transform matter. He requests Congressional investigation and federal protection.

The Hernandez Case

This section details an incident from mid-July 1979, involving Gloria Hernandez and her family. While driving, they witnessed a peculiar, motionless light in the sky that began to move with alarming speed, closing to within fifty yards of their truck. The light was described as a circular, orange-yellow object about twenty feet in diameter, hovering and illuminating the surroundings without emitting heat. Gloria's daughters, Virginia and Arlene, were frightened. The light disappeared when a diesel truck approached but reappeared and followed them. The report notes that Ken Kroft and Cristoforo Ruelas, employees at California Steel Works, also saw a similar light earlier that evening. Following the incident, Virginia and Gilbert developed strange lumps on their bodies. Arlene saw an eye doctor about a lump on her eyelid that later disappeared. Gilbert had a lump examined by a cancer specialist, which also disappeared. The investigator, Taylor, theorizes that radiation from the UFO might be the cause of these physical reactions and suggests the possibility of an abduction into an alien spaceship. Gloria and Virginia both have small, scoop-like indentations between their knees and ankles, similar to markings reported by other alleged abduction victims. Although the family has no memory of being abducted, the physical markings and the craft following the truck suggest a greater interaction. The report also mentions that Gloria's psychic sensitivity has become heightened. The family picnic was interrupted when Gloria accurately announced the death of her grandfather.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of government secrecy, conspiracy, and the existence of extraterrestrial phenomena. The articles present accounts of alleged UFO sightings, crashed alien craft, and government cover-ups, suggesting a deliberate effort to conceal the truth from the public. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards official explanations and a belief in the reality of UFOs and potential alien contact. There is a strong emphasis on the need for transparency and investigation into these matters, with a critical view of governmental and military dishonesty. The magazine also touches upon the psychological and physical effects of alleged encounters, including claims of cloning, memory alteration, and unexplained physical changes in individuals.
