Phantom Bedmates

This article by Aileen details several cases of 'phantom bedmates,' where individuals report entities crawling into bed with them at night. These encounters range from feeling a presence and hearing voices to more physical sensations like footprints and cuddling. In one instance, a phantom's touch reportedly relieved arthritis pain. Another account describes a phantom and a German Shepherd dog exiting through a wall. The author invites readers to share their own experiences and ideas on this phenomenon.

Phenomena in Bagdad, Arizona

Gerald Bringle, Director, recounts an unusual experience in Bagdad, Arizona. A woman reported seeing stars that became intensely bright, dimmed, and then one flew away, initiating a mental conversation. Bringle speculates this might have been a group of UFOs communicating telepathically. He also describes strange events he witnessed, including two oddly dressed individuals staring at him, a power outage, and a silver Mercedes with a Nevada license plate 'EBE 241' driving by repeatedly. He also details a mysterious wound on his shin that healed rapidly and a subsequent period of depression shared by others.

UFO Research in Iran

This section, submitted by Darush Bagheri, Director of 'The Possible Relation Review,' details UFO sightings in Iran. A significant report from September 1976 describes an unidentified bright object near Mehrabad Airport that was tracked by an F-4 fighter pilot, changing position, speed, and shape. Other sightings include an object moving north of Tehran in February 1977, an object in the Tehran sky changing colors in June 1978, and a bright object observed in May 1986. The article notes that while there was public interest, the Iranian government, particularly after the Islamic Revolution, has shown no interest in UFO research, viewing it as propaganda from superpowers.

Meet Your Neighbor: Michael Farmer

This profile introduces Michael Farmer, a 31-year-old 'paranormal investigator' from Cedar Ridge, California. Farmer has been interested in unusual phenomena since he was 13, when he saw a cigar-shaped UFO engulfed in flames. He also claims to have felt his murdered father's presence. Farmer is described as a scientific investigator seeking hard evidence and is trying to establish a local UFO discussion chapter in Nevada County. He and his wife recently reported seeing a glowing orange ball in the sky that changed colors and moved rapidly.

Scientists Study Causes of Animal Mutilations

Authored by Heather Larson, this article discusses Dianne Young's assistance to scientists in Colorado who are researching animal mutilations, primarily of cows. Since 1974, over 10,000 mutilations have been reported, with scientists attributing them to unidentified flying objects or unpublicized military testing. The article highlights the sophisticated nature of the mutilations, often involving the removal of specific body parts with laser-like precision and little to no evidence of bleeding. The research aims to solve this long-standing mystery.

Born Before 1945

This piece reflects on the experiences and cultural differences of the generation born before 1945. It contrasts their upbringing and societal norms with those of later generations, highlighting the absence of modern technologies and social changes like television, computers, and changing views on relationships and gender roles. The author humorously notes that this generation had never heard of UFOs, contributing to a perceived generation gap.

Are You Gone?

This is a poem by Jason Hooten, Associate Director, dedicated to Stayce Borland, expressing feelings of loss and remembrance for a loved one who has passed away but remains present in memory and heart.

Congratulations!

The magazine congratulates Dr. Robert Moore on his marriage to Felicia Monroe and welcomes Sunshine Williams as a new Associate Director for the Austin, Texas UFOCCI.

Letters and Research

A letter from Dr. S. Kurzweil invites individuals who have sustained injuries due to UFO phenomena to contact him for a class-action suit against the U.S. Government. Cary Dickey shares research suggesting that while some 'Greys' are bad, 'Lizard-types' are benevolent. A classified ad offers tarot readings by Joy Barish.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the personal experiences of individuals with unexplained phenomena, such as phantom encounters and UFO sightings. There is a strong emphasis on collecting firsthand reports and encouraging reader participation. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of open inquiry into UFOs and related topics, presenting various accounts and research findings while acknowledging skepticism and governmental disinterest, particularly in the context of Iran. The editorial stance supports the idea that UFOs are a fact and a phenomenon worthy of investigation, despite societal and political obstacles.

Title: New Truth
Issue Date: March 5, 1990
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This issue of New Truth magazine presents a collection of articles and reports focused on UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and related mysteries, alongside some military and technological news.

Abduction Account by Lorne Goldfeather

The lead article details the experiences of Alvina, a woman in her thirties from Vancouver, British Columbia, who claims to have had direct encounters with aliens since 1985. She describes a small craft landing near her apartment and being taken through a window. Alvina had a serious kidney problem, and the aliens allegedly operated on her, leaving no scars and implanting a device to ease pain, which later flushed out naturally. The aliens initially appeared human-like, but she later recalled them as 'greys' with large eyes and oversized craniums. She recounts a traumatic miscarriage that brought back these memories. A young man, claiming to be her child from a fertilized egg, visited her. Later, two 'greys' also claimed to be her offspring and asked her to teach them about Earth life. Alvina refused to believe them and told them to leave. The author began researching Alvina's experiences in October 1989. On January 30, 1990, Alvina was abducted again and taken to a craft she calls the 'Embryo Fertilization Room,' a large area with tables where males and females were present, some screaming. She managed to hide and observed short grey aliens with large black eyes and heads watching through a glass panel. During this encounter, she met a woman who claimed to be a missing person from Boston and provided her full name. Alvina also described a vivisection room and another room with human bodies in tanks. The aliens seemed to be in a rush, operating like a 'beehive,' and others of their race were reportedly looking for them. Alvina predicts an upcoming war in their atmosphere. Another abducted woman in the Vancouver area calls them 'space bandits.' Alvina has limited exposure to UFO information, having only read books on UFOs and seen one documentary. The author notes her information is credible and supported by medical evidence, including a mysterious anomaly called 'Cell - X.' The author believes that much proof of extraterrestrial life comes from abductees but faces challenges in gaining cooperation from physicians and scientists.

In another case, a Vancouver woman was told that Earth is called 'The Planet with the Two Moons.' She learned that an asteroid collision destroyed one of Earth's moons, sending debris into the solar system and altering Earth's orbit. She also mentioned an asteroid belt with a miniature black hole that spacecraft must navigate. The article references Thomas A. Hockey's book 'The Book of the Moon,' discussing a meteorite called 'Allen Hills 81005' found in Antarctica, whose composition resembled lunar samples and suggested it was a surface lunar rock accelerated by an impact.

Readers are invited to contact the author via The UFO Research Institute of Canada for interviews and lectures.

Comments on Abductions by Al Fry

Al Fry discusses cattle mutilations, suggesting they are a method for monitoring genetic tampering by extraterrestrial entities. He posits that humanity is a 'bent' species, deviating from natural perfection patterns, and that other-dimensional entities have been monitoring us for over 10,000 years to prevent our species from disrupting perfection circuits in animals. He argues that these actions are not driven by Karma but by a need to observe and maintain balance. Fry suggests that regaining perfection is a struggle for humanity and that understanding this requires querying the soul. He provides contact information for communication.

Report from Bagdad, Arizona by Gerald Bringle

Gerald Bringle reports witnessing a green light traveling at high speed on March 21, 1990, near Bagdad, Arizona. The object moved erratically, too low and fast for a jet or helicopter, and was silent. He also saw a white light that may have turned blue. He mentions seeing a 'flying membrane' resembling a jellyfish before the lights appeared. Two Army helicopters were later seen in the area. Bringle speculates about mass mind control due to numerous accidents and deaths in the area and the presence of government helicopters. He also describes seeing a strange man on foot in town.

Letters and Memos

A letter from Michael B. in Clearwater, Florida, thanks Aileen for her inclusive coverage and asks for another year's issues of 'The Missing Link.'

A memo to all UFO organizations urges them to stop withholding information and to collaborate to solve the UFO mystery, emphasizing that UFOs are real and the government is withholding information.

Unknown Encounter (March 12, 1990)

This account describes an experience on March 12, 1990, involving the author and a partner. They experienced a strange smell, similar to Bigfoot, and saw 'foo lights' and two bright orange objects racing across the sky. They heard something following them, accompanied by a dead-animal smell. They then drove to another location where they again saw 'foo lights' and orange objects that vanished. The author describes seeing a multi-colored object with lights rising above a hill line, changing colors from red to white to green to blue, and noticing bright blue flashes.

Personal Dream Context & Reality by Brent Raynes

Brent Raynes recounts an experience in the fall of 1975 that he initially considered a dream but felt very real. He describes finding himself standing and walking away from his bed, then being directed to look into the hallway where he saw hundreds of tiny, pulsating, crystal-like white balls of light that clustered to form a four-legged animal shape. He experienced no fear. Shortly after, a UFO flap occurred in Maine, involving a case with David Stephens of Oxford, where a large object followed his car. Raynes also examined a journal of a UFO sighting researcher in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, who reported 'visions' of unusual geometric patterns and lights, similar to Stephens' experience. He notes that these 'visionary' elements were also present in cases he examined from Madeline Teagle of Ohio. Raynes expresses concern that hypnosis sessions during investigations might obscure the 'real message.'

Lifesaving Surgical Chip

This article reports on a tiny computer chip developed in Silicon Valley that detects blood abnormalities during surgery. Doctors at Newcastle University in England are using it to monitor critical blood chemical levels, such as potassium and calcium, potentially preventing life-threatening situations and irreversible brain damage. The chip sends electrical signals to a microcomputer for immediate analysis, replacing traditional blood sampling. It has shown promise for transplant operations and may become routine for major surgical procedures. Arthur Covington, a professor at Newcastle, is optimistic about its widespread distribution and FDA approval.

Six F-117As Flown in Panama Invasion; Air Force Broadens Daytime Operations

This article details the use of six F-117A stealth fighters during Operation Just Cause in Panama. Two aircraft supported an air drop of Army Rangers at Rio Hato. The F-117A was chosen for its ability to deliver 2,000-lb. bombs within 150 meters of structures with precision. The article mentions the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing at Tonapah, Nevada, and the pilots' challenging nighttime operations, which can lead to fatigue. It notes that pilots are volunteers and must have significant flight time. Lockheed has delivered 57 of the 59 F-117As ordered.

Human Skull Launched Into Space On Secret Military Shuttle Flight

This report describes a human skull, filled with space radiation detectors, launched into orbit as part of a secret military payload on the space shuttle Atlantis. This was the second time the skull was flown on a military mission, with a third launch planned. The skull is part of a joint NASA/Air Force effort to study space radiation effects for future space missions. Researchers do not know the sex of the donor, but believe it to be female based on its size. The skull was sliced, fitted with dosimeters, and reassembled. The objective is to establish methods for assessing astronaut health risks from complex radiation fields.

First Soviet Shuttle Orbiter Grounded From Future Flights

The Soviet Buran orbiter, which made the USSR's first successful space shuttle flight, will not be launched again due to the high cost of modification. The second Buran orbiter is scheduled for an unmanned flight in 1991. The article also discusses the USSR's development of a closed-loop life support system based on chemical recycling to produce oxygen, hydrogen, and water, and mentions a space-based garden for food.

Gallipoli Troops Abducted by Aliens

This article recounts an alleged eyewitness account from three New Zealand soldiers during World War I. They claim to have seen an entire British regiment, the First Fourth of Norfolk, march into a dense, stationary cloud at Suvla Bay on August 28, 1915, and disappear entirely. The cloud then lifted off the ground and joined other clouds. Records for these soldiers list them as 'missing' or 'wiped out.' Quest International claims that the aliens responsible are known to the U.S. Government. The article also mentions a separate report of strange 'loaf of bread' shaped clouds observed by 22 soldiers.

Voice of the Valley

A brief report from Maple Valley, WA, describes the discovery of a dead calf with its lower stomach area cut and genitals missing, with no trace of blood found.

Interesting Events (April 1989)

Judy Stryker, Associate Director, reports on five alleged alien contacts within a few days in April 1989. One case involved a woman (Ms. X) who was told her health would improve after a needle in her toe. The author also experienced a similar incident involving a needle in the toe, escaping from a table. Another woman reported strange triangular marks on her leg. A third Ms. X had no memory of contact but experienced extreme fatigue. The author notes that three of the five cases involved feet, and a UFO investigator at NASA mentioned similar cases involving needles followed by physical healing.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, with a strong focus on UFO sightings, alien abductions, and alleged government cover-ups. The editorial stance appears to be open to these phenomena, encouraging readers to share their experiences and supporting the idea that UFOs are real and that information is being withheld. There's an emphasis on collaboration among UFO researchers and a critical view of official explanations. The articles often present anecdotal evidence and eyewitness accounts, sometimes linking them to potential medical or psychological implications, while also highlighting scientific and military developments that may intersect with these mysteries.
