Magazine Overview

Title: THE MISSING LINK
Issue: Number 101
Date: February, 1991
Publisher: UFO CONTACT CENTER INTERNATIONAL (UFOCCI)
Country: USA

This issue of 'The Missing Link' is a multifaceted publication, addressing a global peace initiative, a critique of governmental overreach concerning free speech, and extensive promotion for an international UFO congress.

Peace Clock: A Worldwide Event

The lead story on the cover, "PEACE IN OUR LIFETIME PEACE CLOCK," outlines a global initiative. The goal is for every person on Earth to perform a silent meditation for world peace every day at noon for one full minute, aiming for universal participation by the year 2000. The core principle emphasized is "Synchronized Intention." The article provides actionable steps, including using alarms or bells to mark noon, encouraging participation from companies, schools, and communities, involving media like radio and television to broadcast the "PEACE CLOCK" name, slogan, and logo, and promoting peaceful interactions. Information is also provided on how to obtain Peace Clock flyers and cardboard master copies in multiple languages, with contact details for Dorothy Compinsky.

Editorial: "Just Cause" and First Amendment Concerns

An editorial section, "PLEASE NOTE," discusses a grave concern for those who believe in the First Amendment. It references an announcement from "Just Cause," issue number 26, by editor Barry Greenwood. A new federal law, effective January 1, 1991, prohibits federal employees from speaking or writing about non-fiction topics for a fee, with a potential $10,000 fine for violations. As a federal employee (Postal Service), Greenwood states he is obliged to resign his position with the newsletter "Just Cause" temporarily, pending new legislation. He asserts that this "insidious attack on First Amendment rights" is bound to be challenged and likely set aside, but questions the timing, noting it coincides with a large federal pay raise for top officials. Greenwood expresses sadness that this is happening in the United States, a country that prides itself on freedom, and laments the potential silencing of millions.

First World UFO Congress

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the "First World UFO Congress" in Tucson, Arizona, from May 3-7, 1991. Advertised as "EXTRATERRESTRIALS ARE VISITING EARTH," the congress is staged by UFO PHOTO ARCHIVES and aims to be the largest and most informative international UFO congress ever. It promises "30 World class speakers" and "Many famous UFO contactees." The event will feature exotic UFO sightings, contacts, abductions, photos, movies, artifacts, art, and continuous platform presentations. Over 50 display tables will offer UFO books, magazines, journals, video and audio tapes, UFO art, and objects. The schedule details daily presentations by speakers from various countries, including Spain, Italy, Poland, USA, USSR, Japan, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Bolivia, Australia, China, Germany, Yugoslavia, Canada, and Africa.

Notable speakers and their topics include:

  • Antonio Ribera (Spain): UMMO case investigator and contactee.

  • Stan Deyo (Australia): Investigator and author on UFO subjects.

The congress offers various pricing plans, from single lecture tickets to full delegate packages including hotel accommodations. The selection of Tucson is noted as it was the home of APRO, one of the earliest international UFO research organizations.

Personal Accounts and Other Features

The magazine also includes personal accounts of UFO experiences. One article, "Locust Man's 'Close Encounter'," details the experience of a man from Locust, USA, who reported being abducted in 1973. His account, recalled through hypnosis, describes being examined and having a globe passed over his body. The article draws parallels to the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and mentions the Betty and Barney Hill abduction as a benchmark case. It also touches upon crop circles as a form of experimentation.

Another piece, "Connersville woman recalls experience with UFO," recounts the story of Rhonda, who claims to have seen a UFO in 1973 and was later taken aboard the vessel 14 years after the initial sighting. She describes a small, alien being and a calming effect from the encounter.

A section titled "HOW.WACHSPRESS" discusses an inventor, How Wachspress, who has developed a "free-flying magnetic levitator" that he believes could revolutionize space travel, and NASA has agreed to evaluate his technology.

There is also a brief mention of a mathematical curiosity: multiplying 37,037 by any single number, then by 3, results in a number where all digits are the same as the initial single number.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the pursuit of world peace through collective intention, the defense of civil liberties (specifically freedom of speech for federal employees), and the exploration of UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance is critical of government overreach and supportive of UFO research and disclosure, as evidenced by the extensive coverage of the First World UFO Congress and the personal accounts of encounters. The magazine positions itself as a platform for disseminating information on these topics, encouraging reader participation and investigation.

The Case of Roger R. (A 10-Year-Old Boy): This is a detailed investigative report by Jim Greenen, a MUFON State Section Director. The case involves a 10-year-old boy, Roger R., who experienced an abduction. The report covers:

  • Background: The case was assigned on May 1, 1989, and initial interviews were conducted with Roger and his father.
  • The Interview: Roger recounts hearing voices, seeing four entities about 5'6" tall with heart-shaped heads and giant black eyes. He was placed on a levitating table and taken out of his apartment window. The entities informed him that the burglar alarm would not go off.
  • Into a Craft: Roger was taken into a craft shaped like two inverted plates. Inside, he saw a room with a black glass table and buttons. The entities' skin color was described as gold, and they communicated telepathically.
  • Craft Operations: Roger witnessed the craft ascend rapidly on a screen. He was shown a film of his friend Nancy in a hospital and told she would not be reborn. He was also shown images of his mother's future workplace and a boy in a blue bedroom.
  • Medical Procedures: A small red ball followed him, and a microchip-like device took a skin sample from a sore on his finger. He noted that sores he had before entering the craft disappeared.
  • Interactions with an Alien: He was taken to a room with a man about 30 years old with blond hair and a mustache. He was instructed to push buttons for a blood sample, as he was afraid of needles.
  • Into a Larger Craft: Roger was then transferred to a much larger craft, described as being the size of four apartment complexes. He was given a red suit similar to Star Trek clothing.
  • Information and Revelations: Inside the larger craft, Roger saw writing resembling hieroglyphics. He was shown a map of America and told that some of the aliens' people are in Alaska. They claimed to have hidden books by Shirley MacLaine from his father, stating her books were wrong and written for money. They also opened the book "Communion" to a specific page for his father to read.
  • Reptilian/Canine Aspects: In another room, Roger encountered aliens with pronounced canine aspects, including pointed and floppy ears and muzzle expressions. They claimed to come from Tau Ceti.
  • Government Involvement: Roger witnessed a screen showing men in blue coats with "NASA" patches and radiation-like face masks, performing experiments on dying aliens. He was told these men were "NASA" and that "men in black" capture aliens for experiments, showing no regard for their lives.
  • Rebirth and Creation: The aliens stated that they are the ones who created people on this planet and that individuals can be reborn multiple times.
  • Future and Relocation: Roger was told his younger brother would repeat the first or second grade. He was also informed that he might be moving to a new location in the United States or Germany.
  • Hospital Room and ET Intervention: Roger was shown a room resembling a hospital and witnessed a screen showing his parents almost having a car accident, which the aliens intervened to prevent. They claimed to have been watching him on the way home from Orlando.
  • Alien Descriptions: He described different aliens, including those with orange skin and bluish-black eyes, and a very large alien with a hooded robe and scarf.
  • Mars and Planetary Destruction: The aliens revealed that people once lived on Mars, but that planet was destroyed and is now an asteroid belt. They claimed their ancestors came from that planet and that they created the current planet.
  • Return Home: Roger was returned home through the front door and told the aliens would return in a few weeks or months.

The Investigation: A search of the area where Roger said the craft landed revealed no physical traces. Roger's father noted improved behavior in Roger after the incident. Roger's mother recalled her father being visited by three men in black. Roger's low reading comprehension was noted, and further testing was planned.

Sketches: Roger drew sketches of the aliens, the small ball, the microchip device, the crafts, and a room with a control panel.

Feature Articles and Accounts

The MUFON Investigation and a Boy's UFO Experience

The issue begins with an evaluation of a case involving a 10-year-old boy, deemed an unknown of great significance by MUFON State Section Director James S. Greenen. The boy reportedly had no memory block during an alleged UFO experience and recounted details about the past that his father believes he could not have known otherwise. The case is noted for involving controversial issues in UFOlogy. A character check on the boy's father, who works as a newspaper delivery person, described him as a 'hard worker, reliable, decision maker and talkative,' while a coworker stated the boy is 'a normal 10 year old, quiet at times and very nice.'

Dear Aileen: A Dream Encounter

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a personal account submitted by an anonymous individual (identified only as the recorder for Wyo Tewa Naca, author of 'To Each His Own' or 'The Book of Lights'). The author recounts a vivid dream on October 24, 1990, at 2 AM, which felt like a profound awakening. In the dream, the narrator was welcomed aboard a 'new light ship' with his wife and approximately twenty other people, some of whom were earth guests who appeared fearful of the narrator and his wife due to their apparent connection with the crew.

The 'Captain' of the light ship, described as an old friend, explained that the craft was designed for comfort and ease for earth guests. The craft was multi-leveled, and the narrator experienced various areas, including a control room and a unique shower room with a crystal protruding from the floor, reportedly designed from the Australian amphitheater.

During the dream, the narrator encountered Jim Heidi, a man in his mid-thirties who claimed to have been with extraterrestrials since 1981. The narrator felt he knew Heidi from the past, despite Heidi appearing to have not aged since their last encounter.

The craft demonstrated an 'outer membrane' capable of reading thoughts from outside and relaying them instantly to those inside. The craft then descended towards a house, detecting and soothing the fear of two women. It also detected the presence of an American Air Force Sergeant observing the craft from a distance.

The dream concluded with a profound 'Thirteen Quantum Thoughts' experience, described as a rapid, light-speed dialogue between the 'Nordic Captain' and the narrator, exploring concepts of 'Quantum Thought,' 'no time,' and 'no distance.' The narrator also had an impression of being in Europe.

UFO Radio-Recorder Beam Receiver (Part 2)

This section, copyrighted by Richard T. Woodmaster, provides technical instructions and diagrams for modifying a radio-recorder to receive messages from UFO occupants. It details the construction of a VHF dipole antenna and the integration with a 12-volt DC power supply, relay switches, and audio amplifier. The article explains how an electromagnetic beam from a spacecraft can activate the device, enabling one-way communication. It also touches upon the possibility of two-way communication through electronic beam modulation and the use of a microphone coil. The article notes that such contacts are usually scheduled at 7-day lunar intervals between 7 PM and 2 AM, and are influenced by solar magnetic activity. It emphasizes the potential for 'free-energy' and 'direct' communication, suggesting portable communicators might be useful for UFO landing sites.

Several individuals are credited for their contributions to this article, including Edwin W., J. Carl van Vlierden, Bishop Earl GamBrel, Leonard G. Cramp, Wilbert B. Smith, Rick Williamson, Daniel W. Fry, and Wendelle C. Stevens.

Fortean Followers and the Weird

A Washington Times article by Jeff Alan Hewitt reports on the 'Fortfest '90' conference organized by the International Fortean Organization (INFO). The conference, attended by about 150 people, explored phenomena such as UFOs, archeoastronomy, ghosts, religion, parapsychology, and cryptozoology. Sophy Burnham, author of 'A Book of Angels,' spoke about the presence of a 'demonic force' and positive experiences with angels, recounting a personal story of being saved by an angel during a ski trip in France.

Andrew Rothovius discussed the 'crop circle' mystery, noting the increase in sightings and the complex patterns appearing in fields worldwide. He speculated that these formations might be warnings, possibly related to the Middle East crisis. Researchers believe a spinning mechanism creates the circles, but the source of this power remains unknown. The article also mentions that the grain is not killed by the process, remaining harvestable.

Richard Leshuk, an INFO member, explained that the organization follows the legacy of Charles Fort, who collected 'damned data' ignored by the scientific community. A good Fortean approach, he stated, is to be open-minded and say, 'Tell me a story.'

Comic Strips and Reflections

The issue includes several comic strips: 'DUTLAND' features humorous takes on military spending and media personalities, while 'Calvin and Hobbes' and 'Mother Goose and Grimm' offer lighthearted observations on UFOs and parental advice.

Poetry

'Them,' a poem by Annette James, reflects on unseen presences, flying machines, and the feeling of being watched. The poem questions the nature of these entities and their intentions, expressing a sense of wonder and a desire for safety.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of The Missing Link consistently explores themes of the unexplained, with a particular emphasis on UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters. The magazine presents a platform for personal testimonies, investigative reports, and technical discussions related to these phenomena. There is an underlying editorial stance that encourages open-mindedness and the investigation of anomalous data, as exemplified by the coverage of the Fortean Organization and its dedication to 'damned data.' The publication seems to cater to an audience interested in alternative explanations for events and phenomena that fall outside mainstream scientific understanding. The inclusion of DIY technology for UFO communication and discussions on spiritual or angelic encounters suggests a broad interest in the paranormal and the potential for interaction with non-human intelligences.
