The journey included visits to various locations such as Chandler, Fountain Hills, Payson, Old Camp Verde, Cottonwood, and Sedona. During their travels, they encountered individuals with alleged UFO experiences, including a contactee named Paris, and visited ancient Indian ruins like Montezuma's Well and Tuzigoot. The narrative highlights meetings with Tom Dongo, an Associate Director, and other contactees like Roger and Karen LaChance, Annie and Bill Cooper, and Fred and Shirle Carsh. The trip also involved attending a wedding at the Aztec Ruins National Monument and exploring areas like Canyon De Chelly and the Hopi Indian Reservation.

Report from Salt Lake City, Utah UFOCCI

Kaye Studstrup, Associate Director, recounts a sighting on April 9, 1990, of a large, white, glowing object in the sky that moved like a speeding jet and then disappeared. The object was observed to be stationary for a period, leading Studstrup to believe it was not a meteor. The experience has reportedly intensified her psychic abilities and caused extreme fatigue.

Dream Analysis

Linda S. shares a disturbing dream involving a non-human baby with red, wax-like skin and large, dark, almond-shaped eyes. The dream, which occurred on January 15, 1990, left her feeling repulsed and confused about its meaning.

Personal Experience and UFO Sightings in Grass Valley

Another personal account describes UFO sightings in the Grass Valley area, where residents commonly refer to them as "Scout Ships." The writer, along with Donna, witnessed a bright orange light source that appeared and vanished, and notes that other residents also saw a similar UFO land in the North Hill area.

Anniversary of a UFO Incident

Michael and Donna Farmer recount the second anniversary of their UFO experience on Highway 32. They describe a series of events including a drugged and paralyzed feeling at a county line, a car rear-ending incident, and subsequent alien visitations in dreams and physical encounters. An entity reportedly informed Jim that he and Donna were being prepared for the Summer of 1990. The account details a dream of a UFO emitting a ray of light, followed by an explosion and power outage at Jim's residence. A power company lineman was perplexed by the nature of the damage. Jim's roommate also reported hearing unexplained footsteps. The writer expresses concern for Jim, who is reportedly battling cancer, and mentions Jim's belief that aliens will pick him up, cure him, and take him with them.

E.T. TRUTH

This section features an excerpt from an interview with Billy Meier, discussing extraterrestrial contacts. Eduard Meier, whose contacts are from the Pleiades, dismisses reports of contacts with groups like the "ASHTAR COMMAND," "UMMO," and the "Galactic Union" as swindle, lies, fraud, and schizophrenic hallucinations. He estimates that only a small fraction of reported contacts are genuine. The article also addresses the name ASHTAR Sheran, identifying it as a pseudonym for an extraterrestrial criminal named ARUSEAK, who was banished to another dimension. ARUSEAK and his followers now have tasks determined by the Pleiadeans, Lyrians, and Veganians, which do not involve contact with Earth.

Analogy

By Roman Nacht, this article draws an analogy between Nazi propaganda slogans and contemporary UFO discourse, particularly concerning the "alien problem" and "final solution." Nacht argues for expanding consciousness to cosmic dimensions and accepting all beings as brothers and sisters to avoid suspicion and division. He emphasizes the importance of seeing the divine in all individuals, regardless of their physical appearance, and suggests that by working on oneself to become more divine, one can become free from manipulation. Nacht also highlights the positive work of individuals and groups who are developing cosmic awareness and fostering brotherhood, contrasting this with the focus on negative UFO phenomena.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "The Missing Link" consistently features personal accounts of UFO sightings and encounters, often interwoven with travelogues and observations of local cultures, particularly Native American traditions. The magazine promotes a grounded, practical, and logical approach to UFO research, explicitly stating that it does not engage in channeling or advocate religious beliefs. The editorial stance emphasizes helping individuals understand unusual aspects of UFO contact. Recurring themes include the nature of extraterrestrial contact, psychic phenomena, and the importance of personal experience and investigation.

This issue of "The New Atlantean Journal," dated February 11, 1979, is presented as a reprint from a now-defunct publication, originally published by Pat O'Connell, who now publishes the Inner Peace Prosperity Network newsletter. The issue is dedicated to friends in Hopi Land and includes a congratulatory note to Pat O'Connell on his marriage.

Bigfoot? Reported Sightings Near Village Revive Hopi Legend of Tribal God

By Maggie Wilson, Source: Arizona Republic

This article details recent sightings of a "large, hairy, humanoid creature with incredibly big feet" near Polacca, a Hopi Indian village on First Mesa. Kendrick Outah, who first reported the sightings in the Qua Toqti newspaper, vouches for the reliability of those who encountered the creature. While some refer to it as "Hairy Harry" or "the Incredible Hulk," Hopi elders have a more fearsome name for it: MASAU-U, one of the gods of the Hopi pantheon, associated with the underworld, death, and darkness. The name MASAU-U adds a disturbing esoteric fascination for "Pahanas" (Anglos) beyond typical Bigfoot legends.

The first sightings occurred at Polacca's Assembly of God Church, where the creature reportedly caused dogs to bark simultaneously and disrupted services. The Hopi Tribal Police were called and found smears of fresh blood on a church bus and unusually large footprints, similar to human ones, down Polacca Wash. These footprints disappeared at the base of First Mesa's sheer cliffs.

Another witness heard strange noises at night and saw a "very large and hairy living thing" beside a tree trunk, again accompanied by oversized footprints that vanished at the edge of the mesa near the ancient village of Walpi.

A third sighting, on the night of January 13, was heralded by barking dogs. A Hopi man saw the being standing near his house before it ran west and disappeared. Outah states that these three sightings have been substantiated by police officers. Some Hopis, particularly the older ones, suspect these are manifestations of MASAU-U, appearing to warn people to "shape up and settle down to living the Hopi way." MASAU-U is described as the antithesis of the Hopi's bright world, a fearsome night creature wearing a blood-smeared Kachina mask and rabbit skin robe, capable of moving between the living and the dead. Unlike other Kachina deities, MASAU-U can appear anytime and his domain is the Kiva and the grave. In daylight, he can transform his appearance, distinguishable only by the incredible length of his feet, roughly a man's forearm.

The article concludes by questioning if these Bigfoot sightings are a kiva priest's warning. The author notes that among the Hopis, such an event would be seen as a "divine revelation." Hopis perceive and interpret events within their own cultural framework, and they believe they have seen the creature.

Not of This Earth

By Cynthia Griffin

This personal account describes an encounter with an unknown being during a hike in a remote California park. The author, Cynthia Griffin, and her companion, Paul, were calling for their lost dog when they saw a dark movement. A "gentle being" approached, communicating telepathically that it meant no harm and felt a kinship with them. The being indicated a "family" in the area and offered a choice to stay, but Paul was afraid, and they ran.

The being followed them to the parking lot, showing curiosity rather than aggression. The next day, Paul seemed to want to forget the encounter, leading to a strain in their friendship. Griffin reflects that such beings are hunted for proof, trophies, and money, and are intelligent with their own systems of protection.

She mentions that the being is known by other names like Sasquatch, Bigfoot, and Yeti and that they exist in "bands" or "families." A new, gentler name is given: Lnopi, pronounced "Las in La no, pie as in apple pie," suggesting they are transplants from another space and planet.

From Extraterrestrial Friends & Foes

This section presents a case from George Andrews' upcoming book, "Extra-Terrestrial Friends & Foes." It details the experience of a young woman abducted with her four-year-old son from her automobile.

The woman describes seeing a "very shiny object" and then experiencing the steering wheel of her car vibrating. She pulled over, and though she couldn't move, she saw the object on the side of the road. Three beings emerged, described as similar to those shown in pictures but with more rounded chins. Communication was telepathic. One was identified as a woman, and the other two were slightly taller.

She recounts being taken to a "ship" where her clothes were removed. The beings took samples, including hair, skin, and belly button "sweat and yucky stuff." She explains that they were not seeking information but were "hearing her thoughts." The alien woman mentioned that the cure for cancer is in spices and roots and will be discovered by future doctors. She also revealed that they have experimented with human beings, showing deformed babies and hybrid animals, but have had difficulty with reproduction between species.

The woman, a Christian, describes the beings' instruments and their camouflage capabilities. She felt the beings were agreeing with the woman who seemed to be in charge. She also experienced a painful blood sample extraction and a rectal examination for "samples."

She describes being put in a "glass bubble-like thing" over a table, feeling like she was in warm bathwater, with lights coming on. Instruments were used without physical contact, controlled by hand gestures. She noted a red spot on her breast and small red marks on her arm, later identified by a doctor as broken blood vessels.

She observed other beings, including a black man from Ethiopia, from whom samples were also taken. The beings were interested in "natural" states, taking belly button samples and heel shavings. One of her toenails was removed and now automatically falls off. She also had a fingernail and blood sample taken.

The beings showed her a history of the world on a screen, depicting wars, floods, and disasters, implying human fault. She witnessed a crying human baby taken from its mother, who was unaware of the abduction. The woman expressed anger at the non-consensual actions, but the beings had total control over her body.

She recalls being fascinated by how soft and pliable human skin is. They told her about her family history and childhood, including an incident where her toe was reattached with cobwebs. The beings claimed they could control memory, even under hypnosis, and showed her scenes from her childhood.

She describes an incident where she was influenced to believe she broke glasses with her mind, though she suspects a high-frequency sound wave was used. She also rejected an offer of power to rule many people, equating power with slavery.

She recounts a memory of a baby calf that was alive but frozen. She heard a human baby crying and was told it was taken from someone. She was also shown a history of the world, with images of disasters, and felt it was implied that humanity was at fault.

She experienced a period of missing time, about six hours, during which she was taken to a ship. She was examined, and instruments were used on her. She observed other beings, including a black man from Ethiopia, and samples of various items were collected. Her toenail was removed and now falls off regularly.

She was shown a history of the world on a screen, depicting wars and disasters, and felt the implication that humans were responsible. She witnessed a human baby being taken from its mother. She felt controlled and experienced tunnel vision.

Citrine

By Gerald Bringle, Director

Bringle recounts his experimental use of a citrine crystal, purchased in Quartzsite, Arizona, in 1987. Initially unsure how to use it, he tried placing it on his spine. He found that placing it between his shoulder blades relieved tension in his upper back. Later, experiencing a stiff neck, he used the citrine crystal again, placing it between his shoulder blades. After two minutes, he felt a need to push it down his back. He then moved it up his spine, eventually placing part of it on his neck. This treatment completely eliminated his neck pain and the soreness in the acupressure points, providing a permanent result that surpassed drugs or aspirin.

He advises caution when using rocks or crystals on the back to avoid "shorting out some body circuits" and suggests crossing feet to allow healing power to circulate. He also mentions using Lapis Lazuli, Bornite, and Quartz in his right hand for an extra boost.

Hopi Song

Written on April 6, 1990, by Mark Sheviak, for Gerald, Aileen, and Charlene Bringle.

This is a poem dedicated to the Hopi people, invoking imagery of nature, celestial bodies, and spiritual elements. It speaks of songs, rain, butterflies, rivers, and hearts, expressing a connection to the land and its ancestors.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "The New Atlantean Journal" focuses on unexplained phenomena, including alleged Bigfoot sightings linked to indigenous legends, UFO encounters, and alien abductions. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting personal testimonies and investigative reports without overt skepticism. The inclusion of a Hopi perspective on the Bigfoot sightings, a detailed abduction narrative, and a personal account of a time-loss experience suggest a focus on the subjective and often controversial aspects of paranormal research. The article on crystal healing introduces a different, more esoteric topic, while the "Hopi Song" poem offers a cultural and spiritual reflection. The overall tone is one of presenting extraordinary claims and experiences for the reader's consideration.
