Article: PINE NEEDLES HIT MY FOOT!

Author: Thomas Wilson, Associate Director, Anchorage, Alaska

Thomas Wilson recounts two distinct experiences. The first occurred during a vacation at Mt. Rainier, where he felt he was 'snatched up' and floated through his car and the roof of his tent. He describes being held up for a few minutes and then returned without physical contact. He also witnessed three UFOs flying across the sky.

The second, more profound experience, happened a few days later while he was in bed. He felt a tingling sensation, like needles, and then felt himself become light and float upwards through the roof. He saw a gleaming white light circling him and heard a male voice repeating phrases like "Thomas you can have anything you want... Understand... it is your destiny." He tried to communicate but was unable to. Upon returning to his bed, he felt himself hit a pine tree, which he recognized by the sensation of pine needles. He believes this was a deliberate act to make him aware of what had happened.

An editor's note mentions that Thomas Wilson has had many unusual experiences and that a future issue will detail an encounter he had with an 'angel'.

Article: REPORT FROM HOUSTON UFOCCI

Author: Ann Bower, Associate Director, Houston, Texas

Ann Bower reports on UFO activity in and around Houston, Texas. She solicits comments from readers about similar experiences.

On September 28, 1989, a UFO was observed over Highway 288 and downtown Houston by office workers and reported on the local news. This sighting coincided with a full moon.

On October 8, 1989, while traveling to New Braunfels, Texas, with another Associate Director, Judy Stryker, both experienced a strange phenomenon. The author felt drugged and fell into a deep sleep, waking up feeling alert. Later, Judy Stryker became confused and disoriented while driving, questioning their location and direction.

On January 23, 1990, near the Intercontinental Airport, the author's neighbor and her daughter witnessed five ships in a circle flashing pink, purple, and blue lights. When a helicopter approached, the ships scattered, only to return when the helicopter left. Two more ships joined, flashing green, yellow, and orange lights, and darting between the others. The formation then dispersed rapidly when two helicopters approached.

Bower also mentions a report of purple lights near the airport, noting it was the first time she had heard of this color. She contacted Ron Medley of HUFON, who could not confirm the airport incident but offered to investigate if a helicopter 'N' number was provided.

Article: Air Force Base with purple lights. PURPLE LIGHTS???

Author: Ann Bower, UFOCCI Associate Director, Houston, Texas

Ann Bower reports on sightings of purple lights. On January 17, 1990, she woke up and saw six ships heading east over her house. She learned that a lady in Kingwood also saw a ship at 2:30 a.m. that morning, which hovered over trees before disappearing.

Article: Observers don't have clue about UFO's origin

Author: Eric Ruth, Staff reporter

This article discusses a mysterious glowing ball seen in the skies over western Maryland and Delaware on a Saturday night. Sky observers and meteorologists had no explanations for the object, which was described as a green ball with a fiery tail.

Witnesses described the object as bright green, large, and resembling a ball of flame with a yellow and orange tail. It traced a nearly flat trajectory across the sky before disappearing. Officials at Dover Air Force Base stated that no civilian or military aircraft could be blamed. The Maryland State Police received numerous calls, and a police helicopter pilot tentatively described the lights as a meteor shower. Wallops Island National Aeronautical Flight Center reported no rocket firings.

Key Characteristics of the 'January' UFO (Delaware):
1. Bluish green with some red in the center.
2. Skywrites up and down and sideways.
3. Bounces up and down like a ball.
4. Saucer-shaped.
5. Based on skywriting, possibly from the Crux constellation, star Mimosa.

Article: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Letter from Jason Hooten, Associate Director, UFOSFF, Ft. Madison, IA:

Jason Hooten announces the upcoming launch of a new UFO organization called UFOSFF in mid-February. Its primary goal is to educate youth about the global UFO situation and to support those experiencing abduction trauma. He has received a positive response from teens and found two contactees. He believes preparing future generations for potential 'open world contact' will mitigate 'after shock'. He encourages UFOCCI members to join UFOSFF.

Letter from S. J. Kurzweil, M.D.:

S. J. Kurzweil submits a list of grievances against the United States Government spanning seven years. These include intimidation, harassment/persecution, sabotage of his medical practice, threatened and attempted assassination, physical torture, and repeated harassment of friends and relatives, as well as libel and slander. He concludes by stating that what affects one ultimately affects all.

Article: UFO lecture at the University of Pitt at Bradford

Author: (Implied to be Aileen Bringle or an associate)

This section describes attendance at a UFO lecture by Stanton T. Friedman at the University of Pitt at Bradford. Friedman, a nuclear physicist who worked for the government, discussed how the government allegedly debunks UFO sightings. He presented approximately 60-70 slides, mostly of UFOs and landing sites, with some on nuclear plants. He emphasized the importance of reporting significant UFO sightings, especially close encounters, to qualified investigators.

A story was shared about a boomerang-shaped UFO spotted over a power plant, which was joined by another object and then a saucer-shaped one. When questioned about reporting it, the individual stated the State Police were contacted, who then contacted the Pittsburg Network for UFO Investigation. The government reportedly visited the individual's home to ask questions. Friedman's response was that it was 'probably just something that belongs to the military,' which the author found unsatisfactory given multiple witnesses.

The author expresses frustration with this dismissive response, quoting "Beam Me Up Scotty, There's no Intelligent Life Down here!"

Event Announcement: JORPAH 1990, CAMP LONG - AUGUST 31 - SEPTEMBER 2, 1990. Cost is $20.00 for two nights. This is the tenth anniversary celebration and the last year JORPAH will be held in Seattle.

Article: DELMARVA UFO CONTACT CENTER INTERNATIONAL

Author: Cary Dickey, Associate Director, Wilmington, Delaware

Cary Dickey reports on steady UFO activity in Delaware since January 11. The object is described as a typical saucer shape, bluish-green with red in the center. It has been spotted by approximately three to four people and is visible on clear or partly cloudy nights. The object has been seen skywriting and bouncing like a ball. Sightings have occurred in Northern Delaware south of Wilmington, often between 6-9 p.m., but also as early as 4:30-5:30 a.m.

Dickey notes that the object's skywriting, based on its relation to the Crux constellation and the star Mimosa, suggests an extraterrestrial origin.

Article: AN INTERVIEW WITH BOB LAZAR

Host: Billy Goodman (B.G.)
Interviewee: Bob Lazar (B.L.)
Transcript by: Stacy Borland, Associate Director, Las Vegas, NV

This is a transcript of an interview with Bob Lazar, discussing his claims about extraterrestrial technology and government secrecy.

Lazar believes that by discussing his experiences, more people will come forward. He mentions a CBS affiliate special that will air with more information.

When asked about the propulsion system, Lazar states he understands it completely but will not explain the inner workings, deeming them classified. He describes the concept as gravitational propulsion, using gravity as a lens, powered by an anti-matter reactor. He suggests the secrecy is due to a 'weapons' point of view.

Lazar explains that the technology he discusses is not part of the official government structure but rather a separate group that has gone 'amuck' with their own budget and location, operating without checks and balances or congressional knowledge.

He refuses to reveal specific details about the technology, citing security reasons and the potential for misuse, comparing it to the secrecy surrounding nuclear weapons. He states he has no intention of releasing precise details.

Regarding implants, Lazar suggests that individuals could be scanned using X-rays or cat scans. He also mentions the possibility of using a spectrum analyzer to detect RF emissions from implants.

Lazar recalls a story about flying saucers in Vietnam and the possibility of soldiers being used as guards through brainwashing or implants. He also mentions Whitley Strieber's experience with a sphere in his brain.

Lazar worked for JPL and was involved in reducing data from a radiation belt recorded on digital tapes from 'Reindeer 2'. He also mentions the possibility of checking for radio frequency emissions from implants.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently features firsthand accounts of UFO sightings and encounters, emphasizing the personal and often baffling nature of these experiences. There is a recurring theme of government secrecy and potential cover-ups regarding UFO phenomena, as highlighted in the Bob Lazar interview and the letter from S. J. Kurzweil. The UFO Contact Center International (UFOCCI) is presented as an active organization dedicated to gathering and disseminating information, with a particular interest in engaging younger generations through initiatives like UFOSFF. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, encouraging readers to share their experiences and perspectives, while also acknowledging the potential for advanced, possibly extraterrestrial, technology and the complexities of government involvement.

This issue of THE ARIZONA LIGHT, dated December 1989, focuses on UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and related mysteries. The cover story, "Moon Caves and UFOS" by Kevin W. Stevens, details an experience in Peru where a group witnessed multiple UFOs performing aerial maneuvers. Other articles cover UFO sightings in England and Australia, mysterious crop circles, and alleged alien interactions.

Moon Caves and UFOS

Kevin W. Stevens recounts an experience in Peru involving a group at Machu Picchu who witnessed numerous UFOs, described as spheres of various colors (red, blue, green, white), exhibiting complex aerial behaviors. The sighting occurred during a full moon eclipse on August 16, 1989, after a meditation session in a 'Moon Cave.' The story is presented as a firsthand account from a local guide named Edwin, who is considered veracious.

The Positive Force (2)

This section presents a communication from an entity called 'Hweig,' received by Stephen K. through Ida Kannenberg. The message suggests that beings came to Earth with a mission to spread peace and love, but were met with hostility and attempts to kill them by human leaders. The entity apologizes for past governmental actions instigated or permitted by them and vows to make amends. The editor notes the unusual nature of Stephen K. being in contact with Hweig, implying others might also be.

UMMOS Perspective

A piece attributed to 'UMMOS' argues that the recognition of UFOs refutes state authority. It claims that governments use public money to maintain ignorance about UFOs, perpetuating a 'cover-up' to preserve their power at the expense of the masses. This ignorance is also linked to the masses being sent to fight wars in the name of 'Nationalism,' which is described as an outdated concept based on artificial boundaries.

UFO Landing Mystery: Sheep Panicked by Eerie Light in Fields

This article by John Pinkney reports on three farmers in western Victoria, Australia, who believe a gigantic UFO landed on their property. They discovered five perfect circles of flattened wheat, with the ground inside being hard as cement. This incident follows a sighting of a huge yellow, pulsating object that caused their sheep to panic. The article also mentions previous incidents, including a drained water tank and a bizarre noise heard by one of the farmers. Similar crop circle phenomena are noted in England.

Dalnegorsk Debris Mystery

This news brief from Moscow reports on the ongoing mystery surrounding debris found near Dalnegorsk a year after an unidentified object was sighted. Scientists are baffled by the qualities of materials like tiny threads and golden hairs, some of which resisted extreme temperatures. Explanations range from natural plasma phenomena to artificial manufacturing by advanced civilizations.

Belgian UFO Sightings

Michel Mandel of the Belgian Defense Ministry is investigating numerous UFO sightings near the border with the Netherlands and West Germany. Reports describe dancing lights and a large flying object scanning the earth. Air traffic controllers have detected unexplained blips on their screens.

Anti-gravity Gyroscope Raises Eyebrows

This report from Washington discusses a study published in 'Physical Review Letters' by two Japanese scientists claiming a small weight loss in a spinning gyroscope. While other physicists are skeptical and suspect an error, the experiment's technical details are published for reproducibility, and no source of error has yet been identified.

Alien Corn?

This brief from Somerset, England, mentions a farmer discovering a large, flat circle in a corn field, similar to other reported UFO landing sites. While a hoax is suspected, the farmer cannot explain how it was done without leaving traces.

Mystery of the Flying Object

An account from Bristol, England, describes a bright green flying object with a tail seen moving horizontally without noise. The object was reportedly one-eighth the diameter of the moon and disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

Aircraft or Aliens!

This article from Macclesfield, England, features ufologist Gladys Stevenson, who claims to have seen numerous UFOs and a ten-foot-tall alien. She describes sightings of golden and crimson domes and a silver man with no face or arms. Peter Hough, chairman of the Manchester UFO Research Association, suggests that piezoelectric effects from earth movements might explain some bright lights seen in the sky.

Did Space Aliens Kill My Son?

Lindsay Hartwig, a former politician from Melbourne, Australia, believes a UFO landing may be connected to his son Graham's death in 1971. Graham's body was found near a circle of dead grass, and the cause of death remains a mystery. Hartwig also recounts witnessing two unexplained objects in the sky in 1974.

The Alien (Poem)

A poem titled "The Alien" by E.T. describes beings who came to Earth to spread peace and love but were met with violence and killed by human leaders who feared them due to their different appearance. The poem suggests that humanity's leaders do not believe in peace and harmony, preferring conflict.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, alleged alien encounters, government secrecy, and the potential for extraterrestrial influence on human affairs. The magazine presents a range of accounts, from personal testimonies of sightings to scientific speculation and philosophical reflections on humanity's place in the universe. The editorial stance appears to be open to the possibility of UFOs and alien life, encouraging readers to consider these phenomena seriously, while also acknowledging skepticism and the need for evidence. The inclusion of articles discussing government cover-ups and the UMMOS perspective suggests a critical view of official narratives regarding UFOs.
