Key Articles and Content

Steps to Awareness

Authored by Jason Hooten, Associate Director of UFOCCI, this article addresses the common issue of "negative" abductions where individuals feel forced against their will. Hooten posits that if "aliens" would simply ask, many abductees might willingly participate. He suggests that the forceful nature of abductions might be a tactic to ensure compliance. The article emphasizes that abductees will change, and they can either focus on fear or channel their energy positively by seeking to understand their experiences. It encourages abductees to confide in trusted individuals and seek support groups. The core message is that coming to terms with an abduction is the first step towards awareness and understanding.

Letters

One letter, addressed to "Alleen" (likely Aileen Bringle, the editor), discusses a story by Pat McGuire. The writer expresses belief in McGuire's sincerity and the reality of extraterrestrials but questions the nature of McGuire's aliens, describing them as having an "appalling lack of concern" for his family and exploiting his religious beliefs regarding abortion. The writer suggests that some aliens are "bad" and that this incident might be an attempt to discredit positive alien contact. The letter contrasts this with the writer's own positive experiences with alien contacts who have provided help and support, even through astral projection.

An "Editor's Comment" following the letter speculates that if "Greys" are creating a hybrid race using implanted fetuses, then their insistence against abortion could be a way to prevent interference with their plans.

Twisted Image

A comic strip titled "Twisted Image" by Ace Backwords, dated "©1999", presents a satirical take on censorship and conformity, using the Emperor's New Clothes fable as a basis. It critiques societal trends of accepting narratives without question and punishing dissent.

Bob Lazar and the Secret Base at S-4

The most extensive section of the magazine details the allegations of former government scientist Bob Lazar regarding a secret facility in the Nevada desert, designated S-4, near the Groom Mountains. The report, based on information from ParaNet Information Service and KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, claims that the U.S. military is testing at least nine recovered alien flying saucers.

Lazar describes the craft, including a "sport model," which he states are of alien origin. He notes physical damage on one craft, suggesting it was hit by a projectile. Lazar's confirmation came from seeing the interior of a disk, which featured small chairs, leading him to believe it was not human-made. He describes the propulsion system as silent and lacking any conventional engine parts, calling it "magic."

Lazar expresses disenchantment with the program's slow pace and secrecy, believing the information should be shared with the broader scientific community. He also describes a test flight where the craft's bottom glowed blue and it emitted a hiss before lifting off quietly. The craft reportedly moved without conventional propulsion, exhibiting a "step move" and hovering before cruising.

Gene Huff, a Las Vegas real estate appraiser and friend of Lazar, corroborates some aspects, mentioning security checks and threats against Lazar and his wife. Huff was among a group of witnesses who saw a glowing object lift off from the Groom Mountains. Home video footage of the Groom Mountains area was also recorded.

Further details emerge about the technology, including the use of an "anti-matter reactor" that allows spaceships to produce their own gravitational fields, potentially explaining how interstellar distances could be overcome. Lazar likens gravity distortion to warping a water bed with a bowling ball, suggesting it can warp space and time.

Scientist Dale Etheridge is quoted stating that gravity's nature is not fully understood, but Lazar insists that the technology to harness it exists at S-4 and must be of extraterrestrial origin. Lazar also mentions an element, designated 115, which he claims is the fuel for the anti-matter reactors and cannot be made on Earth. He states the government possesses 500 pounds of it.

The dangers associated with element 115 and anti-matter are highlighted, with Lazar suggesting this might be why he was hired, especially after an accident at S-4 in April 1987, which was disguised as a nuclear test. Lazar believes the Soviet Union was initially involved in research on these flying disks but was later excluded by the U.S.

Stanton T. Friedman is quoted suggesting the government has a duty to inform the public about alien visitations, possibly in conjunction with the Soviets. Lazar, however, believes the technology is so powerful that it might not be deployed publicly, especially if viewed from a weapons perspective.

Lazar submitted to polygraph exams and expects ridicule. He sought the help of hypnotherapist Layne Keck to recall details from briefing papers he allegedly saw. Keck confirms that Lazar's subconscious mind appears to believe his story and suggests that mind control techniques and chemicals might have been used to suppress information.

Billy Goodman Happening Radio Show

A transcript of a conversation from the "Billy Goodman Happening" radio show on KVEG, November 19, 1989, is included. A caller describes working as a contractor on a project involving going 3,000 feet underground into a stainless steel atmosphere. The caller mentions construction people and being pushed into a room with instructions not to leave until told. The caller expresses fear and a desire for the public to know what is happening, suggesting it is being kept secret and is scary.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFOs, alien technology, government secrecy, and the nature of consciousness and awareness in relation to extraordinary experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting controversial claims like those of Bob Lazar while also encouraging critical thinking and personal awareness, as seen in the "Steps to Awareness" article and the letter from Pat Singletary. The publication seems to lean towards validating the experiences of contactees and whistleblowers, while acknowledging the skepticism they often face. There is a clear interest in uncovering hidden truths and challenging official narratives, particularly concerning government involvement and potential extraterrestrial presence.

This issue of the Nevada Aerial Research Group Newsletter, dated August 30, 1989, is a 20-page publication focusing on UFO phenomena, alien abductions, and paranormal experiences. It includes transcripts from radio shows, personal accounts from subscribers, and news reports. The newsletter aims to keep readers informed about the latest developments in ufology.

Key Articles and Features

The Billy Goodman "Happening" Radio Show Transcripts

The issue features extensive transcripts from the "Happening" radio show hosted by Billy Goodman. One segment involves a caller (C) who claims to be an electrician from Mercury, Nevada, and expresses fear for his life after revealing information on air. He describes an encounter in a cavern with U.S. Marines and beings with "big heads and little bodies" on gurneys, accompanied by doctors.

Another significant portion of the transcript features a conversation with Bob Lazar, identified as a scientist. Callers discuss their support for Lazar and the need to expose information about his work, possibly related to Area S-4. The conversation touches on the risks involved, the importance of collective action, and the potential for congressional amnesty. Bob Lazar expresses gratitude for the support and acknowledges the growing movement.

Subscriber Letters and Accounts

A letter from a subscriber in Las Vegas details activities in the area, including observations of jets near Blue Diamond and mentions of the Royal Air Force team staying at The Vagabond Inn. The subscriber also refers to articles in "UFO Universe" and notes that "Dennis" is likely Bob Lazar. She recounts her co-worker witnessing a saucer and a cloud shaped like a saucer. She also shares an anecdote about an explosion in an apartment building that caused damage without an apparent cause.

Another section includes a letter from Yvonne Lowe, thanking Gerald and Alleen for a conference and mentioning her own "alien visitors." She also references an article about dolphins and their potential communication with extraterrestrials.

Daum's Experiences

This section presents "Daum's Experiences," a compilation of paranormal accounts. Daum describes having psychic dreams, including premonitions of plane crashes and her father's death. She recounts dreams about an asteroid headed towards Earth and receiving messages for others. She mentions a UFO experience shared by five people from Pennsylvania and a woman who found a "strange disk" in her yard after Daum had a dream about UFOs in her area. Daum also speaks of an Indian lady from California whose husband claimed to have met "Space people." Additionally, she mentions Dennis Viglo, who she believes is in telepathic communication with "Space Brothers." Daum also shares her husband's paranormal experiences, including astral projections and regression to past lives, and her brother Gary's experiences with reincarnation.

Pleiadians and Coming Events

An article titled "Space aliens are coming, but don't serve chocolate" by Hugh McCann reports on Leilani Brissette-Dearing, a singing psychologist who claims telepathic communication with the Pleiadians. She states that UFO sightings will increase and that in 1992, there will be "very wonderful mass assistance given to Earth." Brissette-Dearing describes the Pleiadians as an advanced race from the Pleiades constellation, living 500 million light years from Earth. She recounts an experience of boarding a Pleiadian spaceship, describing the aliens' appearance and their message of focusing on joy rather than struggle.

Cosmic Catastrophe: Asteroid Threat

A news report from the San Francisco Chronicle discusses the potential threat of a cosmic catastrophe from a wandering asteroid striking Earth. Scientists Clark Chapman and David Morrison highlight the risk, comparing it to a "random shooting gallery" and noting that the risk of death from an asteroid impact is greater than from an airplane crash. The report suggests that technologies are available to prevent such collisions, possibly through piloted missions to plant rockets on asteroids to nudge them off course.

UFO Kidnap Victims Support Groups

An article titled "SHOCKER More Than 25 Support Groups Across the U.S. for UFO Kidnap Victims!" highlights the growing number of groups helping individuals cope with alleged alien abductions. The article features accounts from victims like Rich Hale, who describes an abduction experience involving "three beings" and a "wolf man." Dr. Jean Mundy, a psychologist working with victims, notes that society's attitude contributes to their trauma. The article emphasizes the importance of these support groups for individuals who feel misunderstood.
