This issue of The Missing Link, published by UFO Contact Center International, covers a range of topics including UFO sightings, a conference report, potential future energy sources, and personal accounts of psychic phenomena.

MUFON Conference Report

The article "THE MUFON CONFERENCE JULY 1 AND 2, 1989" by Alleen details a trip to Las Vegas for the conference. The author, along with Michael Shupe, Shirle Klein Carsh, and Marlene Anderson, found the trip worthwhile despite the heat. Speakers included Budd Hopkins, who announced his 'IF' foundation for 'Intruders Foundation,' charging $100 for subscriptions. Bill Moore's absence and subsequent appearance, where he spoke and answered his own questions without a Q&A session, caused controversy. A particularly moving account is given of Bill English, a former government employee who was shown the 'Grudge #13 Report' and subsequently went into hiding for 11 years, only coming forward due to John Lear's persistence. Dr. Jacque Vallee spoke about his research in Brazil, where peasants frequently see 'shupas' (UFOs) and are frightened of them, with some dying from the craft's light. The author notes John Lear's intention to leave UFOlogy.

Planetary Exploration and Energy

"PLANETARY EXPLORATION THROUGH YEAR 2000: AN AUGMENTED PROGRAM" presents Part Two of a report by the NASA Advisory Council's Solar System Exploration Committee. It focuses on "Helium-3 From the Moon: An Exciting Energy Source Possibility." The report highlights that while Earth's Helium-3 reserves are insufficient for major power generation, the lunar surface may contain up to 1 billion kilograms. This resource could fuel deuterium/helium-3 fusion reactions, offering a clean energy source. The amount of lunar Helium-3 needed to produce the 1985 U.S. electrical consumption is 20,000 kilograms, and the total lunar reserve could power the U.S. for 40,000 years. The energy payback ratio for lunar Helium-3 production is estimated at 250, significantly higher than terrestrial uranium or coal.

Personal Accounts and Psychic Phenomena

"THE BLACK CRYSTAL" by Ahz Khan recounts a negative experience with a black tourmaline crystal purchased in March 1987. The crystal reportedly drained the author's energy, caused sleepiness, depression, and brought bad luck. The author describes it as a source of negativity and advises against it. Another section details "Symptoms" and "WHAT TO DO?" regarding psychic attacks. Symptoms include wooziness, head strangeness, stomach queasiness, body aches, and a feeling of being in a well. Recommended actions involve using healing rocks and crystals, cleaning one's house physically and spiritually, and learning rituals. The article suggests that if an attack is from a female, it targets the solar plexus and chest area, causing intense pain. It also mentions that plain quartz crystals can be used to nullify psychic attacks by placing them on specific points of the body.

"Flying Saucers at the Beach" presents several UFO sighting reports. Harriet Joffee of Montauk reported seeing a sphere of light that behaved unusually. Captain David Gaviola and his crew also reported a strange light near Montauk that disabled their radar. In Southampton, Robert and Hasaan Eleazer experienced a loud noise and TV interference, followed by sightings of an object. A case from Levittown involves James Lafante and a friend who witnessed a large object and a fiery burst of light. Lafante later underwent hypnosis with Dr. Jean Mundy and recalled childhood experiences involving alien contact and displacement.

A letter from a reader details a meditation-healing process for their daughter Charlene, who was in a coma after a car accident. The process involved using a 'Vortex Stone' and quartz crystals, visualizing Charlene in a royal blue light. The note at the end states that Charlene has come out of the coma and is undergoing rehabilitation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores anomalous phenomena, including UFO sightings, extraterrestrial contact, and psychic experiences. There is a strong emphasis on personal testimony and anecdotal evidence. The publisher, UFO Contact Center International, presents itself as a non-profit organization dedicated to disseminating information on these topics, welcoming contributions and opinions from readers, while stating that the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the organization. The issue also touches upon scientific and technological possibilities, such as Helium-3, alongside more esoteric subjects like crystal healing and psychic attacks.

This issue of "The Missing Link" magazine, dated with issue number 11, is primarily focused on personal testimonies and experiences related to UFOs, extraterrestrial encounters, and paranormal phenomena. The content includes personal narratives, letters, and a comic strip, suggesting a focus on anecdotal evidence and reader contributions.

Content Breakdown

"Dear Aileen" Section

The "Dear Aileen" section features a letter from a reader identified as "Troubled in Seattle" who is concerned about rumors suggesting "skinheads" are reincarnated Holocaust victims seeking revenge. The response, attributed to Aileen, acknowledges the concept of multiple dimensions and entities beyond human comprehension, but advises caution against believing everything read or heard.

Personal Testimony: Vortex Stone and Healing

A significant portion of the magazine details a personal experience with a "vortex stone." The author describes using the stone, which emitted a beautiful blue light and caused a powerful vibration. This event coincided with all the dogs in the town barking simultaneously. The author also recounts an experience of being "freezing cold" after meditation, which was unusual for her. Later, her girlfriend, who had been with her for a year, moved out without explanation, and the author discovered she was working for an organization trying to stop her UFO research. Despite this personal setback, the author notes a dramatic positive turn when her daughter, who was in a coma, made remarkable progress in the hospital, moving to the fourth stage of recovery within five days.

Another friend, John Graves, suggested that an ultra-high frequency sound might have caused the dogs to bark. The author remains puzzled by a mist above her house, considering it could have been a UFO or even angels. She reflects that the unusual events following the use of the vortex stone were beyond mere coincidence.

"My Story" - Anonymous Subscriber

An anonymous subscriber shares a deeply personal narrative about her experiences, which she believes are related to UFOs and extraterrestrials. She feels she doesn't belong on Earth and sees UFOs as her "real family." She attributes dark bruises on her body to being taken during sleep, serving as "proof" she is not crazy. She describes puncture wounds and burning sensations, interpreting them as examinations for health monitoring, possibly related to pregnancies. She emphasizes the importance of staying healthy for these beings and expresses concern for the well-being of babies, both human and potentially alien. She also speaks about forgiveness, understanding, and the need to overcome fear, pain, and hatred.

Her narrative includes descriptions of a "beautiful bright crystal clear glass city of many domes" as a potential home, and a future return for those who have forgiven and can love unconditionally. She details various marks and sensations she attributes to "visitors," including dark bruises, red dots, and sharp pains, often linking them to specific dates and potential examinations or punishments for not adhering to their perceived health guidelines.

She describes dreams of breast-feeding alien babies and interacting with shy female visitors. She also recounts an incident at age twelve where she felt pain as "someone" inserted something under her skin, which she later removed herself, identifying it as a light grey, tiny ball resembling a BB.

"Bee Sting Phenomena Reported"

This section compiles reports from readers who have experienced "bee sting like marks from unknown sources." The magazine presents drawings and descriptions of these marks, including a "thumb print" on an arm, dark purplish-blue bruises, red rashes, and blood dots with red circles. These are often accompanied by descriptions of pain, discomfort, and the feeling of being examined during sleep. One report from 01-23-88 in Houston, TX, details sharp pain, a red dot above the navel, and a blood spot on panties. Another from 02-28-88 in Del Rio, TX, describes legs hurting as if pulled apart, with three dark bruises.

Warnings from Visitors

The magazine also includes a section on "My Warnings," where the author interprets sensory signals from "visitors." Beeps in her ears signify sleep or impending events, while pinpoint flashes mean she is being watched. She also details how colored lights seen while driving are interpreted as signals for police, road construction, accidents, or approaching emergency vehicles.

Comic Strip

A comic strip titled "THEY DO IT EVERY SINGLE TIME!" satirizes UFO investigators and government agents, depicting a character named Suzi Saucers encountering individuals she identifies as CIA and NSA agents, who are portrayed as "spooks" trying to get her.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the personal experiences of UFO sightings, alien encounters, and unexplained physical phenomena. There is a strong emphasis on anecdotal evidence and the belief that these experiences are real and significant. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, providing a platform for individuals to share their extraordinary accounts. The magazine seems to validate these experiences, particularly through the "My Story" and "Bee Sting Phenomena Reported" sections, suggesting a sympathetic and believing approach to the subject matter. The themes of healing, personal transformation, and the search for truth are also prominent.

This issue of "The Missing Link" (Issue 20) presents a collection of articles and personal accounts related to UFO phenomena, anomalous physical effects, and indigenous legends. The content spans personal experiences from the 1980s and early 1990s, alongside historical and anthropological research.

UFO Stories of the Northwestern Indians by Richard Hack

This article explores the legends of Native American tribes, particularly those of the Northwestern United States, concerning 'Little People.' Richard Hack draws from a book by Professor Emeritus of English, Ella E. Clark, titled "Indian Legends of the Northern Rockies." Hack focuses on legends that he believes relate to UFO phenomena, comparing the 'Little People' to modern-day 'UFOnauts.'

Tribal Groups and Legends

• The article categorizes tribes into three groups:
• Group 1: Plateau Indians (Nez Perces, Flatheads, Kallspels, Coeur d'Alenes) from eastern Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho, who subsisted on salmon and lived in communal houses.
• Group 2: Plains Indians (Arapaho, Gros Ventres, Blackfeet, Crow, Assiniboine, Sioux) living from the Rockies to the Mississippi and south to Texas, relying on buffalo for food and clothing, and traveling by foot until the horse.
• Group 3: Also Plains Indians, but with Plateau influences, including the Shoshoni, Bannocks, and Kutenals.

Hack notes that these tribes are generally described as intelligent and honest, with the exception of the warlike Blackfeet. He emphasizes their retentive memory and respect for ancestors in preserving stories.

Characteristics of the 'Little People'

• Legends about the 'Little People' are detailed, with the Nez Perces' description of 'The Stick Indians' being particularly prominent. These beings are described as:
• About 3 feet tall, human-like in form.
• Wearing deer skins and living in deep forests, but roaming widely.
• Capable of making strange sounds (hooting like owls, howling like coyotes).
• Possessing incredible strength (one story mentions a dwarf carrying a calf under each arm).
• Able to turn invisible by rubbing themselves with a certain grass.
• Demanding food from Indian homes, with dire consequences for refusal.

One story recounts a 'strange visitor' appearing during a storm, described as a little man with long hair, who demanded food. The narrator's father later suffered a swollen face, possibly as punishment. The article notes a parallel to modern UFO sightings where witnesses report swelling.

The Flatheads described 'Little People' as about 3 feet tall with very dark skins, owning herds of tiny horses (less than 3 ft. tall) used for food in winter.

The Coeur d'Alenes reported dwarfs living near Rosebud Lake, who would beat sticks against trees and shout to lure hunters away on wild goose chases, similar to how strange lights today distract.

The Shoshoni and Bannocks had legends of the 'Ninnimbe,' or 'Little Demons,' near Muddy Creek, Wyoming. These beings were 2-3 feet tall, strong, dressed in goatskin, expert stalkers and hunters, and fearless. They allegedly used invisible poison arrows and carved rocks. A surviving Ninnimbe is described as an old, stout man with a red nose, living in the mountains and disappearing at will.

The dwarfs are described as cannibalistic by the Shoshoni and Bannocks, eating children and mothers, and imitating children's cries to lure parents. However, they did not eat men, instead inviting them for food.

The Little People of the Arapaho, Gros Ventres, and Blackfeet were also 3 feet high, with black skins, big stomachs, and powerful builds. They used a sign language and reportedly carved rock houses. These tribes attempted to destroy the Little People by herding them into gorges and setting fires.

The Medicine Wheel and Other Accounts

The article mentions the Medicine Wheel in the Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming, a stone construction with spokes radiating from a center. A Crow Indian chief, Red Plume, reportedly visited the Medicine Wheel and was taken by three little men and a woman to an underground passage beneath it, where he learned 'the arts of war and how to be a good leader.'

Hack notes that these ancient stories share strange relationships with modern accounts from businessmen, police officers, and others who have encountered similar creatures. He points to stories of 'babies crying' in cemeteries and haunted houses, suggesting a connection to the Shoshoni technique of luring children.

The apparent invulnerability to weapons and the interest in children are highlighted as concerning parallels between ancient legends and modern phenomena. Hack suggests that researchers investigate the areas described in the legends for physical evidence and to understand the UFO phenomenon.

An editor's note mentions Pat McGuire being taken to the Medicine Wheel during a UFO abduction.

Personal Accounts and Letters

Anomalous Physical Effects (Page 1)

• This section details a series of personal physical experiences dated from April 1988 to May 1989:
• 04-08-88: Pain in the right arm, followed by a sensation of being strapped down, spinning, and pulled upward.

Letter from Virgil "Posty" Armstrong

Armstrong writes to 'Alleen' about the 'bee sting phenomena,' describing an experience near a 'huge energy field' on the Pueblo Indian's sacred mountain. He felt a sting on his left hand, accompanied by a 'sharp metallic bleep,' and found his hand had been 'lasered all the way through.' This resulted in a growth that lasted nearly a year. He was informed by the 'good guys' that a 'hostile craft' had caused the laser burn to prevent him from linking up with them. He suspects a similarity to a 1974 encounter and suggests these 'stings' imply 'once removed implants,' possibly from a more sophisticated group than the Zeta Reticuli types.

Drawing by a 6-Year-Old Boy

A drawing by the son of Jim and Diane Van Avery is presented, with his explanation of a 'big ship' (good guys) and two 'small ships' (bad ones). He describes a needle in one hand and a device with a ball to make people forget. The guitar in the air is explained by a force field created by the alien. The boy is smiling because he is asleep and doesn't remember.

Letter from Lucille E. Williams

Williams responds to a 'Dear Alleen' column, suggesting that while the idea is good, it should not be treated lightly. She believes such columns could help people who have no one to turn to and could be hurt by a lighthearted approach.

Editor's Comment

The editor agrees with Williams but notes that the 'Letters to the Editor' column already exists, and this particular column was intended for fun and humor.

Letter from Barbara Becker

Barbara Becker, Assoc. Director of UFOCC I in St. Louis, comments on John White's articles. She questions White's shift from calling aliens 'demonic' to 'star folk' and teachers. Becker strongly objects to associating abduction and rape with religion, calling such violations criminal and unethical. She dismisses terms like 'Visitors' and 'Star Folk,' urging caution and warning against being 'all embracing' of these beings, suggesting humans are being harassed.

Letter from Pat S.

Pat S. identifies as a 'contactee' rather than an 'abductee,' finding her experiences positive and identifying with the 'aliens.' For 30 years, she considered them 'masters' or spirit guides who communicated telepathically and saved her from danger. She describes arguments and bargaining with them. Recently, they revealed themselves as beings with powerful flying vehicles. She recounts experiences of astral projection, wearing a 'shiny form fitting one piece outfit' in a huge vehicle, and engaging in heated discussions with predictions that proved accurate. She now believes she might be one of the 5-6 feet 'humanoids' communicating telepathically. She concludes that these beings are not hostile, possess advanced technology, and are beyond most people's comprehension.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the nature of 'Little People' as described in folklore and their potential connection to modern UFO phenomena, the physical and psychological effects of alleged encounters (abductions and contact), and differing interpretations of alien beings' intentions (hostile vs. benevolent). The magazine appears to present a platform for diverse viewpoints, from anthropological analysis of legends to personal testimonies of anomalous experiences and contact, while also including critical perspectives on the framing of these phenomena.

The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry, providing space for various accounts and opinions, as evidenced by the editor's response to Lucille Williams and the inclusion of contrasting letters from Barbara Becker and Pat S. The magazine encourages investigation into these phenomena and their historical roots.
