The Enigma of Pat McGuire

This article, written by Alleen Bringle, introduces Pat McGuire as a friend and a person she respects, but notes that he has become a "broken man, without hope." Bringle feels an urge to feature McGuire's story, suggesting a guiding force behind it. She first met Pat in 1981 at the Rocky Mountain UFO Conference. After moving to Wyoming, McGuire became a close friend. Bringle recalls their happy times together, contrasting them with his current state.

McGuire's case has been featured in national tabloids and OMNI magazine, and he appeared on "That's Incredible," though he reportedly received little more than a T-shirt from the show. Dr. Leo Sprinkle, who hypnotized McGuire on the show, faced disfavor from the University of Wyoming, where he was a professor, due to the publicity. The article notes that McGuire's interviews often brought Dr. Sprinkle into the spotlight, causing issues for the university.

The article promises an overview of McGuire's case, followed by his visions and messages from "Michael," which were to be relayed to Israel and President Reagan regarding abortion.

Pat McGuire's Encounter and Messages

Pat McGuire lived on his ranch with his family and eight children. He noticed missing cattle and, while watching one night with his rifle, saw a light in the sky that beamed down on his cattle. Believing it was a helicopter, he attempted to shoot, but was instantly paralyzed from the neck down. A voice in his head said, "You don't want to do that!" At that point, "Michael" appeared next to him.

McGuire was subsequently contacted repeatedly by Michael, who is described as the "Arch Angel" working for the "Supreme Being." Michael is depicted as being approximately 6 feet tall, with a small nose, large black eyes, a very small mouth, and a large white head, wearing the Star of David on his belt. Others have also seen Michael.

One instance involved a public relations person during McGuire's campaign for governor. She was instructed by Michael to send a newspaper announcement to Reagan and the Israeli Embassy to stop abortion. When she was slow to act, Michael appeared to her on the University of Colorado campus, startling her. McGuire was also instructed by Michael to drill a well in Wyoming, a high desert area where water is scarce. Despite geologists' and drilling companies' skepticism, McGuire proceeded. He was told to place three rocks where he would dig, and aliens would bring the water. During the seven years it took to drill, he flew the Israeli flag over the site and used a motor from a surplus tank. A neighbor questioned how he would fix the motor, but McGuire, even before hypnosis, knew about tank motors, despite never having seen one in Wyoming.

McGuire was shown a vision of two domed cities of the future on his ranch, covered by a protective bubble. He was told that areas below a certain elevation would be covered with water, and those above would be consumed by fire. The well water was for the future.

A letter from Pat in 1985 described the cities as resembling Jerusalem, with adobe, domed buildings. The well was to supply both cities, supporting a population of 125,000 each. These cities would be built after things settled down and it was safe to leave cave areas. Michael stated that no one but God knows when the Armageddon event would take place.

Hardship and Continued Contact

After seven years of hardship, the well finally produced water, with a "huge boom" on the trailer home. 8,450 gallons per minute of water flowed, brought by aliens from Canada in 10 minutes. Unfortunately, after the water came, McGuire borrowed money for sprinklers, which were damaged by tampering. His first crop was successful, but when taken to the granary, it was found to be mixed with other materials, making it worthless. The money he had borrowed for equipment bounced due to tampering with his bank account. Consequently, his land was confiscated and sold at auction.

McGuire was also instructed to take supplies to "caves" and to find seven "pure" men (those who had not had an abortion or been involved with anyone who had) to walk to the caves, forty miles from his ranch. He reportedly never found seven such men.

When Michael instructed McGuire to run for governor, he had no idea how to proceed and lacked funds. Despite this, he ran and garnered 15% of the vote in Wyoming without campaigning. He ran twice for governor, with similar results. In his second campaign, he had visited Native Americans in northern Wyoming who were prepared to vote for him, but heavy snow prevented them from reaching the polls on election day.

Personal Struggles and Alien Instructions

McGuire's wife, Wanda, was pregnant with their ninth child and was unhappy. Michael told Pat she was to have the child, but she miscarried. Pat was so upset that he told Pat to divorce her. The baby is buried on the hill above the well, with statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary watching over it. Michael had instructed Pat to have 12 children, one for every tribe of Israel. Pat remarried and had more children to please Michael.

Life became unbearable, with scarce jobs, and the family almost starved. Some friends helped, but many turned their backs, making Pat the laughing stock of Laramie, Wyoming. His older children's grades suffered because they were ridiculed at school. Pat's heart was hurting, and no one could heal it. His oldest son eventually moved to Wheatland and excelled academically, finding acceptance there.

His second wife also left him, stating life was easier with someone else. They had lived in a trailer house on the land next to his former ranch, without electricity or water, with three babies during a Wyoming winter. The article notes that there is much more to Pat's story, unique in UFOlogy, and Wendelle Stevens has been asked to write a book on his case.

The last time the author saw him, he was living in a friend's trailer and working odd jobs to survive. The UFOCCI is accepting donations to help Pat.

Interview with Pat McGuire by Neil Zajac

In an interview conducted by telephone in October 1989, Pat McGuire discusses his ongoing contact with "aliens" (E.T.s) and the challenges he faces, particularly from the Feds.

McGuire states that contact is a "steady on-going dilemma with the Feds." He believes that if the aliens help him, the Feds become more aggressive, making the situation counteractive. He feels that without the Feds' interference, he would still have his ranch. He sees no future for contactees from the Feds' perspective, as their problems increase with their activity.

When asked if his contacts have helped him or if they are just leaving him to bumble through life, McGuire acknowledges losing his land and everything else. He feels that E.T.s, regardless of their intentions, are here to do their thing, irrespective of human suffering. He states that his "aliens weren't willing to take the Feds off."

McGuire believes that if he quit the contact, the Feds would "kill you." He asserts that the Feds are not doing him any good, but he doesn't explicitly state his E.T.s are not of the highest quality. He mentions that nobody is telling him what the aliens are doing in the background to keep him there. When asked if they suggested going somewhere else or improving his life, he replied, "Well, to another planet." He rejected this, stating, "With all my kids left here? I don't want that!"

He recounts an incident where his back was fixed 25-30 years ago after a car accident, which he considers a positive thing. However, he feels the Feds have tried to get rid of him, and he doubts they would have succeeded if he didn't have the contact. He concludes that it's "still bad news for you all the way around" and that anyone he has been in contact with has lost something.

Regarding imminent catastrophes, McGuire states that "What they wanted done is being done by them." He sees a "big back up between the two of everything" concerning the government's actions. He believes the policy of the Feds is depression, and if contactees "never had nothing to start with there were no threats." He suggests that to overcome this, one needs to convince someone like Leo Sprinkle or a hypnotist that they are a contactee, or follow an E.T. line, or claim no contact at all, to avoid friction with the Feds. He notes that those who ran for governor were directly involved with the Feds and at odds with them.

The Positive Force

A poem titled "The Positive Force" by Linda Solferino is included, expressing a message of hope and strength from beings who have "come from far away" and watched human suffering. They identify themselves as "many in number and we are strong," and as "The God force," here to help.

Experts Say Aliens Are Preparing Major Landing on American Ranch

This article from WEEKLY WORLD NEWS (September 9, 1980) reports on UFO sightings over Pat McGuire's farm in Wyoming. Dr. Leo Sprinkle, a UFO expert, believes the craft could be "goodwill ambassadors of an alien civilization" and that the area may become a "showcase" for an "overall 'get acquainted' program" leading to large-scale landings.

Farmer Pat McGuire claims his spread has been visited nightly by humanoids in multi-colored spacecraft for seven years. His sightings are confirmed by his wife, eight children, and others. Many others have seen strange lights. The UFOs are described as about 300 feet wide and 60 feet high, with no apparent speed limit.

McGuire's family was initially frightened but now feels safe. The article mentions no UFO-related cattle mutilations since an incident in 1976 where a calf disappeared after a UFO hovered over it.

Dr. Sprinkle suggests that people like McGuire are being chosen to spread the word and that full-scale contact could occur within the next decade. McGuire was told by aliens to dig a well on his property, which was considered impossible by geologists. However, he struck water, pumping 8,000 gallons per minute, transforming his arid land into a 5,100-acre oasis. Under hypnosis, McGuire revealed information about being taken aboard an alien spacecraft and being told to drill the well. The aliens are described as about 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, with large eyes, thin lips, and bald heads.

UFO expert Jim Lorenzen of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization supports Dr. Sprinkle's opinion that the location is an alien "showcase."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the extraordinary claims of UFO contactee Pat McGuire, his alleged interactions with extraterrestrial beings and a spiritual entity named "Michael," and the perceived interference and harassment from the U.S. government (Feds). The magazine presents McGuire's story as a significant case in UFOlogy, highlighting his personal hardships and the spiritual or alien-driven instructions he received. There's an underlying narrative of contactees being vulnerable and facing opposition from authorities. The editorial stance, as implied by the publication of these articles and the inclusion of a poem about a "Positive Force," appears to be supportive of UFO phenomena and the experiences of those who claim contact, while also acknowledging the difficulties and skepticism they face. The inclusion of news clippings from other sources lends credibility to the coverage of McGuire's case. The magazine also functions as a platform for communication, inviting readers to share updates and offering a channel for donations to assist McGuire.

This issue of the magazine, dated July 13, 1989, prominently features the story of Pat McGuire, a Wyoming farmer who claims his ranch is a landing site for aliens who have helped him find water. The magazine also includes reports on various UFO sightings from different locations and an in-depth exploration of animal mutilations, positing alien involvement.

Farmer Claims Aliens Use Ranch as Landing Place

The lead story details the extraordinary claims of Pat McGuire, a 38-year-old farmer from Wyoming. Under hypnosis administered by psychologist Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, McGuire asserts that aliens from another dimension utilize his 5,100-acre ranch as a UFO landing site. Amazingly, McGuire states that these aliens have assisted him in finding water for his arid land, a feat that has transformed his property into a lush, green oasis. He recounts how the aliens instructed him to drill a well, promising water, which he did, eventually tapping an underground river that now irrigates 1,400 acres of malt barley.

McGuire describes frequent visits from huge, saucer-shaped UFOs. His wife, Wanda, and their eight children also claim to have witnessed these phenomena. Dr. Sprinkle, who conducted McGuire's hypnosis sessions, states that McGuire is reporting sincerely what he experienced and that the farmer is now seen as strange only because he sees flying saucers. McGuire's description of the aliens includes them being six feet tall, slender, muscular, with large eyes, a short nose, thin lips, no hair, and large heads. Their skin is described as real white, and they shuffled when they walked, dressed in black.

McGuire's claims extend to a political career, where he ran for governor. He stated that an alien named 'Michael' insisted he run, claiming that McGuire, like the Jewish people, had been given special powers. This connection to Israel, including flying an Israeli flag over his ranch and wearing a Star of David, was a point of contention. Wyoming Governor Ed Herschler commented that McGuire received eight thousand votes, indicating public interest, but noted that the 'Israeli army' aspect didn't help his campaign.

UFO Sightings Update

The magazine compiles several UFO sighting reports from various locations:

  • Ilford and Dagenham, England: The East Anglian UFO and Paranormal Research Association reported sightings of an egg-shaped object with blue and white lights, and later, an orange-glowing, rugby ball-shaped object moving erratically.
  • Kharovsk, Russia: Russian sky-watchers reported dozens of UFOs emerging from a large light, moving at high speed. One witness, Marina Shiriaeva, described a large UFO landing near her.
  • Galena, Kansas: Unusual red, white lights were reported in the sky, with police chief Pat Collins observing two to three red lights and a bright white light.
  • Louisville, Kentucky (May 2, 1989): A 31-year-old man saw a large, bright light stationary in the sky that began moving in a circular pattern, then toward him at high speed before stopping abruptly.
  • Walworth, New York (May 2, 1989): A 16-year-old female and her father reported a large, dark, whale-shaped object approaching their house at treetop level. The craft made a loud sound, nearly collided with a tree, and was described as 'all steel, total solid.' Other witnesses reported seeing the same vehicle.
  • Ferndale, Washington (May 6, 1989): Five women sighted a large, long, wide light form that appeared stationary, then joined by a second light. The form descended, passed overhead, and appeared to land before vanishing.
  • Near Farmington Hills, Michigan (May 10, 1989): A greenish-silver disc-shaped object paced a car for nearly two hours, during which the car radio and entire electrical system stopped working.
  • Longbeach, Washington (June 3, 1989): Four glowing football-shaped objects were sighted moving at an estimated speed of 500 mph.
  • Near Fayetteville, Arkansas (June 9, 1989): Pilots of five airliners reported seeing a large glowing object streak across the sky.
  • Frankfort, Kentucky (June 13, 1989): A 36-year-old woman saw two large, bright white lights attached to a rectangular-shaped object described as 'massive in size.' The craft hovered overhead for two minutes, illuminated by several lights, with no sound heard.
  • Huntington Beach, California (September 26, 1989): A light was seen piercing through fog, pointing towards the ground, before bursting into a halo and fading. Another light then appeared and disappeared straight up.

Mutilations

Gerald Bringle, Director of UFOCCI, addresses the persistent question of why so many cattle and other animals are being mutilated. He suggests that a treaty between the United States government and certain alien beings allows these aliens to construct underground quarters in North America. Consequently, they harvest nearby animals, primarily cattle, for their protein and, more importantly, for their body fluids. Bringle theorizes that aliens lack digestive tracts and thus do not produce digestive enzymes or have sex organs. They remove the rectum to avoid contamination from toxic glands and to easily extract body fluids. These fluids, along with processed tissues from lips, tongue, and eyes, are used to create a nutrient-rich solution for energy absorption through osmosis. The aliens also process these fluids into pheromones, which they use to incapacitate humans, causing a temporary sleep-like state with no memory of events, allowing them to abduct people or carry out other projects.

Bringle notes that animal mutilations are often found in the desert Southwest, with specific body parts like the rectum, sex organs, lips, eyes, and tongue removed. He mentions that predatory animals avoid these carcasses, possibly due to an intense magnetic field or 'vortex.' The flesh of the carcasses dries up, and remains can be scattered or washed away. He also describes a peculiar clean-cut hole in the forehead of some skulls, suggesting a high-powered laser or similar device was used, rather than a bullet.

He further explains that the aliens' need for 'food' is to replace energy, and they utilize the digestive processes of animals like cattle to turn cellulose into protein. The enzymes collected during fluid extraction are used to process tissues into a form they can absorb. The aliens also dehydrate and concentrate these nutrients for storage. Bringle expresses dismay that the U.S. government allegedly permits these 'parasites' to flourish, receiving technology in return for human lives and then sharing it with other countries.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and potential government involvement or cover-ups. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting claims and evidence from witnesses, researchers, and even political figures. The theme of aliens influencing human affairs, whether through direct contact, providing technology, or engaging in clandestine activities like animal harvesting, is a recurring motif. The publication seems to lean towards validating these extraordinary claims by presenting them without overt skepticism, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions.
