Mark O'Hara: UFO Art

A section highlights the work of Mark O'Hara, an artist whose "innate curiosity about the cosmos" has led him to explore various artistic mediums, with photography being his favorite. His work is often given as gifts, and he hopes to contribute to UFOCĊI with "Jorpah goodies." His display in this issue is titled "Northern Arizona."

Letters and Correspondence

Several letters to the editor, Aileen, provide personal accounts and perspectives:

• Cynthia Ozimmo from Las Vegas shares updates on UFO CCI meetings, discusses contacts with Pleiadeans and Ummos who allegedly monitor fault lines, and recounts a report of a "Mother Ship" incident in Costa Rica. She also mentions meeting Joseph Sergott, designer of the "Energy Accelerator," and promoting "Alternative 3."
• J. T. Alan shares his return to UFO research after a two-year hiatus, mentioning experiences with "Men in Black" (MIBs) that previously deterred him. He expresses a renewed determination to restart his UFO organization.
• Danny Diaz comments on the fascinating nature of implant stories and the denial by governments. He discusses the challenges faced by those who speak out about their beliefs, particularly regarding relationships.
• Cathey ("Alone in Georgia") responds to a previous letter about UFO phenomena being considered "occult" and the condemnation of hypnosis. Cathey suggests that hypnosis might be a way to understand experiences and that extraterrestrial contact does not appear to be harmful. Cathey also expresses gratitude for support and mentions discontinuing anti-depressants.
• Mike Atkins thanks Aileen and the UFOCCI group for their work in providing information and aiding the "human effort to evolve spiritually." He also mentions similar positive feelings about Wendelle Stevens' work.

"Tro" Correspondence and Theories

Mike Atkins also discusses letters from a correspondent named "Tro," whose letters dated from September 1991 to February 1992 were printed in the magazine. Atkins expresses disappointment that some UFOCCI associates dismissed Tro's letters as a hoax, urging a more open-minded approach. He proposes that Tro's letters might be a way to find answers to UFO-related puzzles and jokingly asks for a ride to "France." Atkins also presents a mathematical formula he developed to predict the location of undiscovered planets in our solar system, suggesting the existence of planets near Earth/Eros and beyond Neptune/Pluto.

Language and Consciousness

Donald Nelson contributes a piece on the English language, discussing the lack of standardized spelling rules and proposing the need for new letters. He theorizes about dimensions, the nature of the soul, and the concept of Zero as One. He also questions the connection between crop glyphs and quantum particles and asks about the project name "Tetra-Ov."

Puerto Rico UFO Reports

The issue features several articles from Puerto Rico, extracted from "THE UFO CLIPPING SERVICE":

• "6 PONCEANS AFFIRM TWO 'CREATURES' INSPECTED PAN DURING PASSING" by Julio Victor Ramirez reports on six residents of Ponce who encountered two extraterrestrials examining food. The beings are described as having oval faces, small noses, three feet height, and big leaping eyes, possibly "Rigelians."
• "AGAINST UFOS" by Julio Victor Ramirez discusses the local police department's alleged dismissal of UFO reports in Lajas. It mentions Sergeant Toro making fun of a resident's sighting and Regional Director Anibal Roman Morales attempting to explain colored lights as reflections from a lighting system. The article also notes a sighting by Joselyn Irizarry of a large UFO with colored lights.
• "THINKS UFOS CURED HIS LEG" by Julio Victor Ramirez recounts the experience of fisherman Jose Maria Fernandez Martinez, who claims his left leg was inexplicably cured after witnessing a UFO. His wife, Gloria Santiago, also reported seeing strange lights leaving the sea.
• "MAYOR WHO WAS A WITNESS TO A SIGHTING IS WAITING BUSH'S RESPONSE TO HIS LETTER" by Julio Victor Ramirez details how the mayor of Adjuntas, Rigoberto Ramos, sent a letter to President Bush after witnessing strange lights. The article also mentions ongoing sightings in the mountain town, with Las Minas Sector being referred to as a "UFOport."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, extraterrestrial encounters, personal experiences, and the search for answers to unexplained phenomena. There is an underlying stance of open-mindedness and a desire to share information and support for those who have had unusual experiences. The editorial team, particularly Aileen Garoutte, appears to foster a community where individuals can share their stories and perspectives, encouraging a spiritual and intellectual evolution. The inclusion of poetry, art, and diverse personal accounts suggests an aim to provide a comprehensive and engaging platform for UFO enthusiasts and researchers.

This issue of The Missing Link, number 117, dated June 1992, features a cover headline "THEY OBJECT PROOF TO LESSEN STRENGTH OF UFOS" and an article discussing the phenomenon. The magazine delves into various aspects of UFOlogy, alien encounters, spiritual warfare, and future space exploration.

Cartagena Lagoon Experiment

The issue begins with a report from Lajas detailing an experiment conducted in Cartagena Lagoon on a Monday night. Approximately 200 people gathered to observe an effort by government agencies to disprove the presence of UFOs. Personnel from the Electrical Energy Authority suspended electricity and used a reflector to illuminate the lagoon, aiming to prove that observed lights were mere reflections. However, the yellow, red, green, and blue lights noted by the editor and other residents did not appear during the experiment. Both the Civil Defense and Police Department attempted to discourage people from frequenting the lagoon. Anibal Roman Morales, Regional Director of Civil Defense in Mayaguez, insisted the lights were reflections from Candelaria, but UFO believers rejected this. Wilson Sosa, an investigator from Cabo Rojo, alleged that Morales was lending himself to those trying to discredit the subject, stating the lights originated from the water outwards. Visitors from New York and the Dominican Republic were present. Residents also called for the Regional Director of Civil Defense to address the long-standing issue of gases affecting the Free Zone of Mayaguez.

Space Aliens Communicate with Cafeteria Employee

An article by Alisha Fossett introduces Paula Watson, a high school cafeteria employee from Mt. Vernon, MO, who claims to have been visited by aliens for nine years. Watson and her husband, Ron, who are Associate Directors of UFOCCI, previously lived in Greenfield, MO. Watson recounts her first encounter with "little grey beings" near a cow, which then floated away with the cow. Her husband later saw strange lights and a cone-shaped object, and the cow was never seen again. Watson describes the aliens as grey or silver, about three and a half feet tall, with skinny bodies, large heads, long fingers, and wearing tiny backpacks. She has also encountered other species, including lizard-like and reptilian creatures, categorizing them as good or bad, with the evil ones not harming those who believe in God. Watson claims telepathic communication and that the aliens introduced themselves as "your neighbors." The Watsons have spoken at international conferences in Arizona and Las Vegas. Their case is documented in the film "Earth Mysteries. Alien Life Forms," and they are working on a book. Watson advises caution regarding seeking alien encounters and wonders why she was chosen, acknowledging that some people may disbelieve her.

Where Am I From?

Lorne Goldfader writes about a question, "Where am I From?", that was "etched" onto his left thigh near an implant. He describes symbols similar to those seen inside a craft by Antonio Villas Boas from South America, noting a reverse "Z" or lightning bolt configuration. The article also announces the National UFO Museum, a project to educate the public about UFOs, serving as an archive and repository. The museum plans exhibits on UFO theories, crash sites, government cover-ups, and alien bases, and will also include a bookstore and gift shop. It publishes a quarterly journal, "Notes from the Hangar," and offers a mailing list for $2.00.

A Letter of Support and Encouragement to Light Warriors

This letter, signed by Carlos Mendoza, addresses "Light Warriors" who are interested in UFOs and may have had encounters. It posits that humanity is engaged in a "WAR" that began thousands of years ago, a conflict not understandable by the human ego but by the spirit. The author criticizes scientists for focusing on "nuts and bolts" technology, governments for denial, and psychiatry for attributing sightings to hallucinations. Religious leaders are accused of ignoring the "space demons" and their role in religions. The letter warns of a coming "darkness" and "Tribulation," suggesting that negative extraterrestrials aim to create a "cosmic slavery outpost." It claims that past lives and reincarnation are relevant, and that "Lucifer's" objective is to prevent humans from perceiving themselves as spiritual beings, thus perpetuating negative environments. Historical examples like Hitler's Third Reich are cited. The author asserts that those who go public with UFO experiences may be harassed or eliminated, and that "enemies" are real and operate behind the scenes. Light Warriors are described as having been trained to "see" the enemy without relying on physical senses, and are encouraged to go public with their experiences to awaken others. They are said to have the support of billions of extraterrestrial "angels" assisting in repairing Earth and preventing human enslavement or extinction.

UFOs, ETs and You

Tom Dongo shares an experience of meeting three people from Florida who, through unusual "coincidences," went on an eight-mile hike with him into Secret Canyon, a remote location in a National Forest. Dongo notes that the two women seemed to know him and his friend Alan, and even knew their names and had premonitions of Secret Canyon. He also recounts a story about a Florida woman who has had close encounters with UFOs and ETs since childhood, including medically confirmed pregnancies that disappeared. This woman also has memories of holding alien/human-looking babies. Dongo suggests that humanity is being crossbred with a humanoid, nonhuman race, possibly because this race is dying out or to replace humans after a cataclysmic event.

Dimensions

L.L. explores the concept of "dimensions," particularly in the context of New Age beliefs and extraterrestrial information. The author notes that many ET sources suggest an impending "dimensional shift." The article discusses different theosophical descriptions of dimensions, including seven "planes" (Physical, Astral, Mental, Causal, Atomic, Monodic, Divine) and a contactee's information about three universes (Physical, Mental, Spiritual). It questions whether UFOs operate in the physical etheric level or the Astral World, and references Dr. Fred Bell's assertion that the Astral World does not exist in the physical realm. The author suggests that dimensions can be understood as essential parameters or entire systems of reality, and that space can have more than three dimensions, citing "Hyperspace" and Superstring Theory. The concept of dimension is also linked to states of "vibration" and consciousness. The article touches upon anti-matter universes, "Kronapits" (natural or artificial space-time distortions), and the relationship between consciousness and manifestation. It suggests that UFOs manipulate dimensions for travel, possibly using vortexes or gravity waves, and references Billy Meier's explanation of ships entering "null space and time" to travel beyond light speed.

Next Moon Explorers Will Find Camp Ready

Brian Ames reports on plans for future moon exploration, building on President Bush's 1989 challenge to establish a permanent moon outpost and land humans on Mars. Boeing Defense & Space Group is developing concepts for an early lunar habitat, a "campsite" that can be deployed upon landing. This campsite, depicted in a Boeing painting, would serve as a temporary base for astronauts for up to 45 days, doubling as an experiment center and construction facility. The technology for this campsite is derived from the operational experience of Space Station Freedom. The article also mentions "Rover First," a concept for an enclosed-cab pressurized rover that could explore the lunar surface before the campsite arrives. Boeing is also studying other lunar systems, including permanent base concepts, lunar mining, and various rover types.

Technology is from Space Station

This section continues the discussion on lunar exploration, detailing how campsite technologies will be derived from Space Station Freedom to reduce cost and risk. The campsite, consisting of a habitat module, airlock, lander stage, thermal radiators, solar arrays, life-support system, and communications gear, would await a crew of four. It could be used by multiple crews as a construction facility or a remote science facility. Boeing's Apollo rover experience and recent studies have informed lunar exploration concepts. The "Rover First" concept is further elaborated, highlighting its potential for science support and permanent base development. Other lunar systems being studied include mining, fuel extraction, and rover concepts. Approximately 50 people at Boeing are working on lunar and Mars missions, while 2,000 are involved in designing and building Space Station Freedom.

Three Visions

Marianne Schmeling recounts three visions she experienced. The first, on January 23-24, 1992, involved viewing missiles crashing in a southerly direction with terrifying noises, causing total destruction. She also saw three young boys and a teenage couple observing the event. A message stated, "It will be over in a short while but the destruction will be total." The second vision, on March 26-27, 1992, involved a red-hot missile appearing on the eastern horizon and moving at lightning speed, followed by another orange glowing sun. The third vision, on April 3-4, 1992, depicted war breaking out suddenly, with explosions and fire raining from heaven, and missiles spewing in all directions. She heard the phrase "War of the Worlds" and a voice saying, "Peace!" The messages indicated "world-wide destruction" and urged prayer. She reflects on how ancient prophets handled such terror and questions if God is still present.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of The Missing Link consistently explores themes of UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, and their implications for humanity. There is a strong undercurrent of spiritual warfare, with concepts like "Light Warriors" battling negative forces. The magazine also touches upon the potential for future human endeavors in space, such as moon bases. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, encouraging readers to consider unconventional perspectives and to engage in spiritual and intellectual exploration. The inclusion of personal accounts, scientific speculation, and prophetic visions suggests a broad approach to understanding the mysteries of the universe and humanity's place within it.

Title: The Missing Link
Issue: 117
Date: June 1992

This issue of The Missing Link magazine features several articles and a comic strip related to UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and government secrecy.

Article: THINGS THAT GO DOWN!

By Aileen

Aileen reflects on the concept of gravity and how its absence would drastically alter daily life. She humorously imagines scenarios where everything floats upwards, sticking to ceilings, and even discusses how a "downward" force shapes our faces, preventing wrinkles. She then connects this to UFOs, suggesting they might operate by reversing gravitational poles to achieve flight. The article concludes by humorously contemplating the mundane challenges of a world without gravity, such as newspapers and milk bottles floating away.

Article: SUMMARY OF NOTES TAKEN BY JIM MCCAMPBELL CONCERNING TWO TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS WITH DR. PAUL F. BENNEWITZ.

This section details notes from interviews with Dr. Paul Bennewitz, a physicist and investigator of aerial phenomena, concerning alleged alien activity and a secret underground base.

The Dulce Base Allegations:

Jim McCampbell recounts an interview with Dr. Bennewitz, who claims to have information about a secret underground facility near Dulce, New Mexico. This base, allegedly a kilometer underground beneath the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation, is reportedly operated jointly by the U.S. government and extraterrestrials. The agreement, established years ago, supposedly involves a technology trade: aliens provide advanced technology (atomic propulsion, flight technology, beam weaponry, thought beam) in exchange for the location of the base and assistance with operations like cattle mutilations and abductions.

Evidence and Investigations:

Dr. Bennewitz claims to have investigated cases, including one from May 1980 in northern New Mexico where a mother and son witnessed a UFO, a calf abduction, and were themselves abducted and implanted with metallic objects. He states that CAT scans have confirmed these implants. Bennewitz has reportedly used regressive hypnosis and communications received via his computer terminal (purportedly from a UFO source) to determine the base's location. He has also dealt with government intelligence groups and claims to have pictures of UFOs and the base, including surveillance vehicles and launch ships.

Alien Technology and Capabilities:

Bennewitz describes UFOs as operating on an electric charge basis with a crystal semiconductor and super lattice. He mentions their ability to "cloak" and become invisible by bending light waves. He has computed their speeds at 15,000 mph and notes they can be seen entering cumulus clouds, possibly producing nitrogen nitride. The aliens are said to come from various cultures, some from a binary system like Zeta Reticuli, traveling from distances up to 32 light years away. They reportedly have six to eight vehicles orbiting Earth at 50,000 KM altitude.

Cattle Mutilations and Humanoids:

According to Bennewitz, aliens are using cattle DNA to create humanoids. He has seen video screens showing creatures that are animal-like, near-human, and human with large heads, which are grown from embryos and then returned to tanks upon death for part recovery. The base was reportedly closed in 1979 after an argument over weapons, resulting in the deaths of 66 of "our people."

Government Cooperation and Threats:

Bennewitz has presented his findings to high-level Air Force personnel, including OSI. He claims to have been taken to the site twice and made photographs. He describes seeing saucers on the ground, cone-shaped structures, elevators going down a kilometer, and aliens using levitating rectangular vehicles. He also mentions seeing standard military procedure buildings, guard points, and launch domes. He obtained infra-red photos of the area and noted a government road and a black limousine identified as a CIA vehicle.

Bennewitz has faced indirect threats from Air Force Intelligence. He sent film to Kodak, and some footage of UFO close-ups went missing, later appearing in a top-secret NASA project document codenamed Aquarius. He believes NASA may have copied and deleted parts of his film.

Communication and Abductions:

Bennewitz claims to have devised a means of communication with aliens using a hex ASCII code, where "one" means "no" and "two" means "yes." He states that aliens can be threatening and malevolent. He also discusses abductions, noting that aliens target medium to low IQ individuals, implant them, and take tissue samples. He believes about one out of forty people may have been abducted, and that those affected are never the same.

Further Details and Concerns:

Bennewitz mentions that the aliens use hypodermics and have paralyzed him multiple times. He has seen scars on the necks of people who come to him, indicating past procedures. He speculates that the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" may have been a plan of disclosure. He has also been shown films and a flying saucer in his backyard. He regards J. Allen Hynek as a government cover.

Helicopter Incident:

During a helicopter trip to the Dulce area, Bennewitz and an OSI agent witnessed unmarked helicopters. Later, during another trip with a Col. Carpenter, they saw two large Huey helicopters that were part of a project called Blue Light, possibly from Ft. Carson, Colorado. These helicopters were escorted by an advanced space technology vehicle resembling a manta ray. Bennewitz feels it is unconstitutional for the government to be involved in implantations and that individuals are permanently changed by alien contact.

Evaluation of Bennewitz:

Jim McCampbell describes Dr. Bennewitz as an extremely conservative, knowledgeable, and reliable scientist, intimately familiar with sophisticated laboratory equipment.

Article: UFOLOGY, WHERE ARE WE GOING?

By S. E. Bazarsky

S. E. Bazarsky reflects on his four-decade involvement with the UFO phenomenon, starting with his first sighting in the early 1950s. He notes the significant growth in interest in ufology, leading to a rise in UFO sightings worldwide. Bazarsky observes the emergence of various UFO organizations, literature, and conferences, but expresses concern over the high fees charged for membership and attendance. He argues that while money is necessary, ufology should not be treated as a large corporate business or a side show for financial gain. He calls for a re-evaluation of the field's direction as the century approaches its end, urging a return to its "intended course."
