Swedish Abduction and Contact: The Case of Ante Jonsson

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the case of Ante Jonsson, a 47-year-old man from Tingsryd, Sweden, who claims to have had extensive contact with aliens since February 3, 1984. The article, sourced from the AFU Newsletter, details Jonsson's initial encounter with a UFO and a mysterious figure, which led to a struggle and subsequent hospitalization. The case is described as complex, with Jonsson unsure if his experiences are real encounters or dreams. The article notes that Jonsson has produced hundreds of pages of notes detailing alleged travels to other planets, prophecies, and warnings.

The Initial Experience: On February 3, 1984, Jonsson reported seeing a large, black, hovering object and a small figure. He stopped his car and later returned to find the object gone, only to encounter it again, blocking the road. His car skidded, and he was subsequently attacked by a creature, losing consciousness. He awoke in his car and was later taken to Vaxjo hospital.

Police and Medical Reports: Police were called to the scene following a mysterious phone call from someone claiming to be 'Bengt Johansson'. The object had vanished by the time police arrived. Jonsson was found trembling, with muscles tensed and fingers bent like claws. He was taken to a medical clinic and then to a psychiatric ward, described by him as a scene from 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'. The article validates the medical signs of shock and cramps, suggesting a frightening encounter.

Abduction Story: Jonsson asserts he was abducted by aliens in the summer of 1986. His contact, 'Jenny', explained he was in shock and nearly died. He was placed in a pressure chamber, and samples of his hair and skin were taken to measure his lifespan and determine his physical and mental condition. He was then released back to his car.

Enigmatic Information: The article points out inconsistencies in the police report and notes that the police interrogated Jonsson extensively after his hospital release. The presence of a sensitive military installation nearby is suggested as a possible reason for police interest. The police also confiscated film from Jonsson's camera.

New Contacts: Weeks after the initial encounter, Jonsson began experiencing psychic contact. On March 6, 1984, he met a pale, long-faced man with no feet who led him to a hovering craft. Later, on April 26, 1984, he experienced his 'First UFO Ride', finding himself in a room resembling a crystal ball and meeting a 160cm tall figure with long arms and unusual facial features.

Contacts with Jenny: Jenny became Jonsson's main contact. He had long conversations with her about everyday life and even nuclear war, for which he was allegedly given a specific start date. He was also shown a planet devastated by nuclear holocaust. His trips involved swimming, eating, and mingling with Jenny's friends, described as more like a postcard from a foreign country than typical abduction scenarios. Jonsson believes these travels may have taken him outside the solar system and has met various human-like creatures, including 'the half-ape' and 'fir-eater'.

Love Affair: The article notes that Jenny is the focus of all contacts, described as beautiful and wise. Jonsson finds it difficult to distinguish her from an earthly love he once had. While their conversations are meaningful, Jenny's answers are often evasive, which disturbs him. Jonsson struggles with the reality of his experiences, stating, 'It can all be a dream... Sometimes I don't know what to think.'

Reader Letters and Editorial Notes

Dear Aileen: A letter from Claudia Sanderson expresses gratitude for a lovely time at Cottonwood and Sedona and thanks Aileen and the UFOCCI 'gang' for honors received at 'Jorpah'. She mentions Lozanna's dynamism and expresses excitement about future progress.

Director's Note: Claudia Sanderson was the recipient of the Stayce Borland Memorial Award for outstanding director of the year. There is discussion about holding next year's event in the same location due to circumstances in Kansas.

Reader R.B.: This reader praises 'The Missing Link' and refers to an article by Dr. Leopoldo Diaz Martinez of Mexico regarding an 'Extraterrestrial Consultation'. He confirms the accuracy of a symbol shown and discusses Plasma Theory. He identifies himself as a contactee and mentions that aliens have tried to explain Time and Space to him. He believes aliens do not share information readily because it may not be disseminated or believed.

Editor's Note: The editor thanks readers for their feedback and acknowledges the magazine's improvement since its first issue. Plans are mentioned to syndicate 'The Missing Link' on newsstands, requiring more reader submissions.

Dear Aileen (Page 5): This letter reflects on the late Associate Director, Stayce Borland, who was murdered in 1990. The writer discusses the importance of overcoming fear, ego, and working together. The letter touches on the concept of past lives and the need to prepare for future events, such as the landing of UFOs. It emphasizes listening to others, even when disagreeing, and understanding that negative experiences may serve a purpose for those undergoing them.

The writer also mentions the fall of the Berlin Wall and the emergence of new 'walls' between groups working for the same cause. The need for unity and remembering humanity's true nature is stressed. The letter concludes with a poignant reflection on 'home' and the longing for a place of belonging, suggesting a spiritual return.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, alien contact, abduction experiences, and the search for truth in these phenomena. There is a strong emphasis on personal testimonies and the subjective nature of these encounters, with a willingness to investigate and report on cases like Ante Jonsson's. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and supportive of researchers and contactees, encouraging reader participation and the sharing of information. The magazine also touches upon broader philosophical and spiritual themes, such as past lives, unity, and the search for 'home'. The inclusion of UFO-themed art suggests an appreciation for the creative and imaginative aspects of the subject matter.

This issue of "UFOs, ETS AND YOU" features several articles focusing on UFO encounters, alien contact, and related phenomena, alongside a significant piece on Nikola Tesla's scientific theories. The magazine presents personal accounts, research findings, and speculative discussions.

Secret to His Family

This section details an interview with a contactee referred to as 'AJ' (Ante), discussing his family's reaction to his experiences. Ante initially kept his encounters a secret, but eventually, his family learned about them. His wife is hesitant to know too much, and they don't discuss it often. Ante acknowledges the oddity of his 'double life' and reflects on how he might react if his wife had similar experiences. He admits to still questioning the reality of his experiences, sometimes considering them dreams, but leaning towards them being real. He recalls referring to them as 'dreams' in 1986 but now prefers to keep it an open question, noting that when 'this thing happens,' nothing else exists around him, creating a mixed feeling between reality and something else.

Advanced Warning

Ante describes how his perception of the world changes, often occurring at dusk. When he feels a contact is imminent, he experiences restlessness and a creeping sensation throughout his body and head. This sensation typically lasts a day or so, and the contact usually occurs one to three days later. The sensation passes before the contact. The change in reality is described as quick, often starting between his toes and moving upwards. He states that this sensation is his 'advanced warning' that a contact is going to be made. When this feeling occurs, he often tells his family he is going for a ride, heading to a lake ten miles north where most of his contacts have taken place.

Time Disturbances

At the lake, Ante waits by the shore, observing an egg-shaped craft hovering over the water, unnoticed by others. He recounts an experience where the craft descended, and he was taken on board. Upon returning to the lake, time had shifted; sometimes he experienced a winter landscape turning into a hot summer day, or vice versa, but he has never traveled to the future. During his first year of contact, he was taken to various places, possibly other planets, and met other humans. He maintains three files on his experiences: one on journeys with Jenny, one on past lives revealed through automatic writing, and one on his own memories, particularly from his teenage years.

Therapy

Ante finds writing about his youth to be a form of therapy, helping him process memories that are difficult to share. He describes these as 'memories emerging from within.' He questions if this therapy is the climax and purpose of the entire experience, serving as a framework for him to confront traumas and hidden memories. His contact story has tangible aspects alongside obscure past memories.

Artifacts

Ante presented a stone found in his pocket after a trip, which he believes resembles stones from the 'summer lake.' He speculates if Jenny placed it there or if it's just an ordinary stone. He also mentions a grayish, milk-like drink given to him on another occasion, found in a plastic bottle near his home, which he was told to drink for preparation for a longer journey. The bottle was later destroyed.

Underwater Base

Ante claims to have visited an underwater base with huge doors numbered with Arabian numerals that had small hooks, resembling astrology signs. He has not reported seeing any unusual writings he couldn't read.

New York Episode

On October 20, 1986, Ante was taken to a big city, presumed to be New York. The contact began with a colored cloud filling his room, followed by darkness. He then found himself on a park bench. Upon returning home, he received a postcard from New York addressed to 'Ante Johansson,' postmarked the same day, with an unreadable message. This event is presented as another strange coincidence in his case.

Hidden Youth Trauma

Recently, while watching an old black and white film, Ante felt he was in an unfamiliar place, with a different TV set. He saw himself in his old house, appearing as he did at 15 years old, with clothes from 30 years ago. This experience, along with his notes focusing on his teenage years (15-17), suggests a hidden trauma from his boyhood.

Ante's experiences are solitary, with no witnesses. An attempt to bring friends to the lake during a 'feeling' resulted in nothing happening. The research into his case is ongoing, requiring caution and open-mindedness, as much of the material remains private.

Remembering Myself (Part III) by Alwyn

Alwyn recounts a hypnotic regression session where his memory of a dream-like experience was clarified. He describes seeing a creature at a control panel with six long fingers. This being, whom he calls Th'ar, is described as insect-like, with large dark eyes and a mandible-style jaw. Th'ar's home world has a polytheistic philosophy, akin to ancient Hinduism, and has recently ascended into the 'Federation' of co-existing, technologically advanced worlds. Th'ar's species was once warlike but evolved beyond conflict. Alwyn also reflects on his own past, including his nickname 'Wrong-Way,' his tendency to get lost, and his respected spirit and sense of humor.

Alwyn then details a hypnotic session from 1975 or 1976, where he was taken back to a time when he was a seminary student. He was in a friend Roger's Volkswagen in New Haven when he suddenly found himself in a saucer-shaped spacecraft with three landing pods. He was inside the craft, looking out at a desert canyon. He realized he was diverted from his mission and was on the wrong planet. He couldn't recall where he was from but described it as a beautiful, smaller, mountainous place with water, similar to Earth, and noted the color green and smooth rocks. He confirmed the presence of a sun and a bright blue, hazy sky.

UFOs, ETS AND YOU by Tom Dongo

Tom Dongo shares two personal encounters. The first involved giving a ride to a man who continued a conversation from a previous encounter with another person. This man, who identified himself as 'John' and gave a cryptic message involving 'John-I.M.E.T.-Circle K,' offered something of great interest from his duffle bag, but Dongo declined to see it.

The second encounter occurred at Bell Rock, where Dongo and a woman observed an object. Dongo initially saw a green garbage bag blowing in the wind, while the woman saw a boomerang-shaped object with a brown haze. The object exhibited unusual maneuvers, stopping, turning, and changing direction abruptly. This discrepancy in perception highlights the subjective nature of UFO sightings.

ROVER: Planetary scout car safe place to be during solar storm

This section, attributed to Boeing News, describes a concept for a next-generation planetary surface rover. This pressurized vehicle features all-wheel drive, manipulator arms, an airlock for solar storm shelter, and the ability to be operated remotely from Earth.

TREMENDOUS NEW POWER SOON TO BE UNLEASHED by Carol Bird

This article discusses Nikola Tesla's work at age 77. Tesla is described as a visionary inventor working on several scientific projects. He partially described a new, inexhaustible source of power discovered after years of research, which he believes will revolutionize modern physical science. He also touched upon his own energy reservoir that enables these monumental discoveries.

Tesla explained that his primary discovery involves harnessing a new power source through novel machines. While details are not yet public, he stated that the initial investment would be great, but operation costs would be minimal. The power generator would be simple, consisting of steel, copper, and aluminum. He plans to use his alternating system for electricity transmission, noting that direct current could also be employed if insulation issues were overcome. He believes this universal power source will solve many global problems, referencing the 30,000,000 horsepower his alternating system has already harnessed.

Tesla dismissed the idea that smashing the atom would lead to this new power, stating that while he had experimented with atomic structures, generating intense rays, he found no usable energy liberation. He has warned scientists for thirty years that atomic energy is not available for work. He added that the new energy form would be available globally in unlimited quantities, and the machinery would last over 5,000 years. He could not predict precisely when the power would be available but suggested 'in a few years, perhaps.'

Tesla also mentioned other projects, including 'photographing thoughts.' He explained that in 1893, he became convinced that a thought forms a definite image that could be captured by a suitable apparatus. This led to his concept of television, involving an artificial retina and an 'optic nerve.' He also developed a system to transmit hundreds of thousands of distinct impulses through the ground simultaneously, without interference, suggesting this could be used for photographing thoughts by illuminating the retina and projecting the image.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs and alien contact, presented through personal testimonies and research. There's an emphasis on the subjective nature of these experiences and the challenges of verification. The issue also explores the potential for revolutionary scientific advancements, exemplified by Nikola Tesla's work on new energy sources and thought photography. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry into these extraordinary claims, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional understanding, while also acknowledging the need for cautious investigation and the private nature of some evidence.

This issue of 'The Missing Link' magazine, dated 1933, delves into a variety of topics related to unexplained phenomena, personal philosophy, and scientific advancements. The cover prominently features a "FO ABDUCTION HOTLINE!" with an illustration of an alien, highlighting the magazine's focus on UFO encounters and abduction experiences. The issue includes an interview with Nikola Tesla, a detailed transcript of a hypnotic regression session, and information on space exploration.

Nikola Tesla on Personal Energy and Longevity

The magazine presents an interview with Nikola Tesla, who discusses his scientific work, including discoveries in harnessing new energy, television, thought photography, and a new type of radio transmitter ensuring privacy in wireless communication. He also touches upon his work in molecular physics, which he believes will revolutionize metallurgy and improve metals.

Tesla then shifts to his personal philosophy on energy and the values of life. He quotes a French proverb about youth having knowledge and age having power, suggesting that one's condition in old age is a reflection of how youth was spent. He attributes his own strength and vitality to a 'virtuous life' in his youth, characterized by self-discipline and control over passions and appetites. He emphasizes the importance of finding a life's work compatible with one's temperament to increase overall happiness.

Addressing the brevity of life, Tesla suggests that people could prolong their lives by avoiding habits that lead to an early grave, such as overeating and consuming the wrong kinds of food and liquids. He advocates for a diet of two meals a day, avoiding acid-producing foods, and consuming plenty of milk and water. He also recommends partaking liberally of fresh vegetables and sparingly of fish or meat, noting that fish, while considered brain food, has a strong acid reaction due to its phosphorus content. He identifies acidity as a major enemy in old age.

Tesla also discusses his approach to sleep, stating he scarcely ever sleeps but feels charged with energy after short periods of dozing. He believes sleep is a vitalizer but not essential for everyone, especially poor sleepers. At 77, he claims to have excellent health, energy, and mental faculties, attributing this to a well-regulated life and the conservation of energy through experience and learned efficiency.

Hypnotic Regression: An Alien Encounter

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a transcript of a hypnotic regression session. The subject, referred to as 'M', recounts an experience involving alien beings. The session begins with 'M' describing a village and people they know, then progresses to a journey to another planet. 'M' describes a canyon, large black birds with an eight-foot wingspan, and a dark sky with colorful rings that emit a rumbling sound.

'M' then encounters about a dozen beings who communicate telepathically, expressing happiness at seeing 'M' and recognizing them. The beings remove 'M's suit and helmet, revealing 'M' is wearing shorts. The temperature is described as around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 'M' is then led towards an ocean-like substance that is more solid than water, described as grainy, sandy, and resembling orange Jello. The beings reassure 'M' and lead them into this substance, which feels warm and similar to oatmeal or magma. 'M' is then dunked under the substance.

Upon returning to the ship, 'M' describes it as comfortable with controls on the arms of the chair. 'M' sees an insignia resembling an upside-down V with half of its right leg cut off, like an upside-down check mark. Feeling shaken, 'M' decides to head home instead of going to another planned destination. The session concludes with the interviewer suggesting they will explore how 'M' got to Earth in a future session.

Space Exploration and UFO Contact Center International

The issue also features a brief report on a "Mars Ball" vehicle being developed by a University of Arizona team for potential missions to Mars. The vehicle's tires have eight chambers that deflate and inflate to propel it.

Advertisements highlight the "FO ABDUCTION HOTLINE!" for UFO abductees to share their stories and provide reliable information. It states that one out of every four Americans has had a UFO encounter. The UFO Contact Center International is promoted as the oldest and largest organization for UFO contactees, publishing "The Missing Link" magazine. Membership, costing $20, includes the monthly magazine and discounts on activities. The magazine also advertises T-shirts with UFO designs and offers a discount for ordering multiple items.

Ten Free Gifts for Christmas

Separately, the magazine includes a list of "10 FREE GIFTS FOR Christmas (You don't even have to shop for them!)". These gifts are abstract concepts such as listening, signs of affection, notes, laughter, compliments, favors, leaving alone, a cheerful disposition, playing games, and prayer. Each gift is briefly described with advice on how to offer it.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO encounters, alien abductions, and the potential for extraterrestrial contact. There is also a strong emphasis on personal well-being, health, longevity, and self-discipline, particularly highlighted by the inclusion of Nikola Tesla's views. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, providing a platform for personal accounts and scientific speculation, while also offering practical advice on personal development and health.
