Editorial: The Buck Stops Here!

Aileen Bringle, Director of UFOCCI, addresses administrative issues and the importance of adhering to the organization's original purpose. She acknowledges that her recent administrative tasks may have been perceived as harsh but states they were necessary for the greater good of UFOCCI and abductees. She apologizes if anyone was offended, emphasizing that her actions were not personal affronts.

Stacey Borland Murdered

This section reports on the murder of Stacey Borland, the leader of a Las Vegas contactee group, and her brother. Information suggests that Borland may have received sensitive documents from an individual associated with 'DREAMLAND.' Following the murders, contactee group membership lists and sign-in sheets from a Budd Hopkins event were reported missing. The report also details the rise of Valdemar Valerian as the new leader, noting his alleged government connections and his role in the upcoming book 'The Matrix.' George Knapp of KLAS-TV provides commentary, refuting claims made by Bill Cooper regarding the circumstances of Borland's murder and suggesting Cooper's disinformation is aimed at discrediting Valerian due to his association with John Lear.

Ed Walters and the Gulf Breeze Sightings

This segment revisits the controversial Ed Walters UFO photographs from Gulf Breeze, Florida. The article presents facts supporting the authenticity of the sightings, including multiple witnesses and professional photo analysis. It also addresses claims that a UFO model found in Walters' former residence was planted to discredit the sightings, presenting evidence that the model was constructed with materials that did not exist at the time of the original photographs. The article also discusses a voice stress analysis test administered to Ed Walters, which reportedly determined he was telling the truth regarding the model.

Correspondence and Alien Races

Several letters and responses are included:

• Sirian Rainbow Lodge: This group cancels their exchange with The Missing Link, citing a change in the magazine's focus and disagreement with the 'E.T. Truth' perspective, particularly regarding the Pleiadians. They assert their own identity as Star System Sirians and emphasize the universal law of non-interference.
• J. St. J.: This subscriber finds the Smith article and Alaskan Abduction tape stimulating and inquires about the 'blue liquid' injected into contactees, referencing Dr. Edith Fiore's book 'Encounters.'
• Editors' Reply: The editors confirm cases involving blue liquid and speculate on its purpose (memory erasure or conditioning). They also question the common assumption that all abductors are 'Greys,' citing the diversity of beings described by Wendelle Stevens.
• Bill Hamilton (Lancaster-Palmdale Area UFOCCI): Hamilton thanks Aileen for a handbook and provides details about the local UFOCCI center, its meetings, and activities, including investigations into underground bases.
• Aileen's Reply (regarding Greys): Aileen clarifies that 'Greys' are cloned beings, possibly from Zeta Reticuli, developed as 'Androids' for space travel. She explains they are organic, lack emotion, and are programmed for research. She also discusses the 'Association of Planets,' composed of various alien races, and its role in preparing Earth for cosmic integration, emphasizing the importance of following Christ's teachings.

To Whom Does the Earth Belong?

Ed Komarek, Jr. poses philosophical questions about Earth's isolation from the cosmos and humanity's alignment with various forces. He stresses the importance of choice between secrecy and truthfulness, urging readers to question authority and resist deceptive ET factions. He advocates for openness, truth, and love as protection against 'master deceivers.'

Announcement: Laboratory Animal Identification

A separate advertisement announces a new system for laboratory animal identification using microchips, highlighting its benefits over traditional methods like ear punching or tagging.

UFO Sightings: What Are the Facts?

This section provides a factual breakdown of the Ed Walters UFO sightings, reiterating key points such as the date, witness accounts, photo analysis, and the conclusion that the discovered model was a fake planted to discredit the sightings. It also addresses claims of double exposures and the impossibility of a lighted object being obscured by trees.

UFOCCI: Thanks for your support...

A brief note from UFOCCI thanking Ed Walters for his support.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, alien encounters, abductions, and alleged government cover-ups. There is a strong emphasis on supporting contactees and investigating claims, while also critically examining disinformation and controversies within the UFO community. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to question and seek truth, though it also expresses skepticism towards certain aspects, such as the common focus on 'Greys' and the interpretation of religious doctrines in relation to alien contact.

This issue of "The Missing Link," dated 1989, focuses on the topic of alien knowledge transfer and government responses to UFO phenomena. The cover features a cartoonish illustration related to alien knowledge transfer. The magazine includes articles by Lorne Goldfeather, Ed Reynolds, George C. Andrews, Barbara Bartholic, and Clifford Stone, along with a special report.

Alien Knowledge Transfer by Lorne Goldfeather

Goldfeather discusses a method of alien communication, referring to beings called "WATCHERS." He explains that these beings can transmit information directly into human brains using a non-light energy beam that interacts with the pineal gland. This process involves neurochemicals like tryptophan and serotonin, which are converted into a state of receptivity. The pineal gland acts as a relay station for psychotronic impulses. Information is transmitted via peptides, which are strings of amino acids that relay micro-cellular words and broadcast sentences. The "WATCHERS" aim to create a "Bio-Planetary nervous system" by influencing thoughts, emotions, and soul blueprints.

Witnesses Get a Tan from Looking at UFO by Ed Reynolds

This article reports on UFO sightings that allegedly cause sunburns, citing UFO expert Dennis Harriman. Eyewitnesses in England, France, and the US describe UFOs that hum and glow bright orange. Despite attempts to capture them on film, the sightings have been frustrating for UFOlogists. One witness described the objects as the size of a country cottage and found the experience terrifying.

Extra-Terrestrial Friends and Foes: The Stonewalling of High Strangeness by George C. Andrews and Barbara Bartholic

This article critiques the 1988 TV special "UFO COVER-UP...LIVE!," hosted by Mike Farrell, which semi-officially admitted the reality of extraterrestrial intervention. The authors argue that the program, a joint U.S.-Soviet effort, contained a mix of information and disinformation. They claim the government made a secret agreement with "short gray humanoids" from Zeta Reticuli, but imply this was not the only ET group and that the Grays' alleged vegetarian diet is a falsehood, citing cattle mutilations as evidence. The article suggests the TV program downplayed the seriousness of abductions and the nature of the government's agreement with the Grays, calling it a "disastrous mistake."

The authors also discuss the Eduard "Billy" Meier case, suggesting that the E.T.s might use absurdity as camouflage. They propose that Meier's contact might have been with a different ET group, the "Blonds" or "Swedes," who are described as more human-like and potentially worthy of alliance. The article includes an analysis by Dr. Jean Mundy of the public reaction to the TV special, noting that despite its "blockbuster" ingredients, it failed to generate significant public interest, which the authors attribute to media manipulation techniques used in the program.

SPEC AL REPORT 2: UFO/MILITARY CONFRONTATIONS by Clifford Stone

This report examines military confrontations with UFOs and the American Intelligence Community's (AIC) stance. It begins by referencing the termination of Project Blue Book in 1969, where the Air Force stated UFOs had no scientific value or national security threat. However, the report argues that the AIC maintains a "scientific interest" and considers UFOs a matter of national security, classifying information related to these phenomena.

The report defines UFO and national security based on Department of Defense definitions. It then presents several classified "File Cases" involving UFOs and military encounters:

• File Case 1 (Cuba, March 1967): Cuban radar detected a UFO, and two MIG-21s were scrambled. One pilot visually identified a bright metallic sphere. After a failed attempt to identify the object, the pilots were ordered to destroy it. The wingman reported the flight leader's aircraft disintegrated without smoke or flame. The UFO then accelerated rapidly.
• File Case 2 (Iran, 19-20 Sept. 1976): Multiple phone calls reported strange objects in the sky. An F-4 from Shahpokhi AFB was scrambled. The pilot lost instrumentation and communications near the object. Upon turning away, instrumentation was restored. A second F-4 was scrambled, and its pilot acquired a radar lock. A second, smaller object emerged from the primary object and approached the F-4 at high speed. The pilot's weapons systems failed, and he initiated evasive maneuvers. A third object emerged and descended rapidly, landing gently and emitting a bright light. The F-4 crew experienced further communication and navigation issues.
• File Case 3 (Peru, 9 & 10 May 1980): Peruvian Air Force officers spotted a hovering UFO. An SU-22 was scrambled for an intercept, and the pilot fired on the object, which then outran the aircraft. The next night, a similar object was sighted, and another SU-22 was scrambled, but it was also outrun. The State Department's comment was that "Apparently some vehicle was spotted, but its origin remains unknown."
• File Case 4 (Brazil, May 19, 1986): At least 20 unidentified flying objects were observed by aircrews and radar. Fighter jets were scrambled, and three made radar contact. One pilot described red, white, and green lights. Three mirages were also scrambled and made radar and visual contact, reporting being escorted by thirteen disks. The objects then rapidly disappeared from radar. The Air Minister noted the significance of multiple sightings and radar contacts, and the State Department commented, "There is too much here to be ignored."

The report concludes that the AIC possesses extensive classified information on UFO/military confrontations, despite public statements to the contrary. The classification is maintained in the interest of national security, though the specific reasons remain unknown to the public.

Conclusion

The author concludes that aerial objects with non-terrestrial technology are operating within Earth's airspace, directed by intelligent control. Nations are powerless to act against them, leading governments to deny their existence and classify information to avoid appearing helpless. The author believes the U.S. Air Force has been made a scapegoat for the UFO cover-up, and that many governments worldwide classify UFO information for legitimate intelligence reasons, such as protecting methodology and operatives. However, the author calls for greater openness and for the AIC to reconsider its stance on declassifying information to foster an informed public and allow scientific community investigation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the nature of alien communication and intelligence, the alleged government cover-up and manipulation of public perception regarding UFOs, and the documented instances of UFOs interacting with military forces. The editorial stance appears to be critical of official narratives and supportive of the idea that UFO phenomena are real, significant, and often deliberately obscured by authorities. There is a strong emphasis on the need for transparency and scientific investigation into these matters.
