Articles and Features

Art by LOUIS TURI

The issue highlights the work and personal journey of artist Louis Turi. Prior to November 12, 1981, Turi had achieved musical success in Europe. However, on that date, he experienced a close encounter with a metallic disc hovering over his car in Southern France. This event marked a shift in his life, leading him to study Astrology and pursue a spiritual path. Turi is noted for his ability to analyze personalities and predict events, and he expresses a belief that a lack of information and education hinders the recognition of Astrology as a valuable discipline.

EDITORIAL: Welcome to the UFO field!

The editorial addresses the confusion and controversy surrounding UFO research, acknowledging that it can be difficult for newcomers to discern fact from fiction. It offers three key pieces of advice for those entering the field:

1. No UFO Experts: The editorial cautions against individuals claiming to be UFO experts, suggesting that true expertise is impossible given the unknown nature of UFOs. It emphasizes judging information based on logic and sensibility rather than the credentials of the source.
2. Carve Your Own Niche: It encourages individuals to pursue UFO research as a means to self-education in various fields like astronomy and psychology, suggesting that it can lead to serious, knowledge-based pursuits rather than 'wrong pathways.'
3. You Are Not a 'Little Person': The editorial empowers newcomers, stating that they should not be intimidated by prolific authors or intense personalities in the field. It advises building knowledge patiently, regarding oneself as equal to others, and to disregard untruth, chicanery, and pretentiousness, thereby contributing positively to the field.

THE SEVENTH DEJA VU by COREY WOLFE

Corey Wolfe recounts a personal experience in 1984 involving a series of 'Deja Vu' sensations that escalated into a profound metaphysical experience. During what he describes as the seventh Deja Vu, he felt his consciousness elevate and found himself in a vision of standing on stone stairs, observing a cave entrance from which a man in white robes emerged. This figure congratulated him, implying he had reached a certain spiritual quota. Wolfe's experience involved a dialogue about conquering fear and surrendering to 'the All.' He was then returned to his physical body, having hesitated to fully embrace the experience. The lesson learned was to 'never hesitate again' when presented with opportunities for wisdom, as the analytical brain can lead to doubt and inaction.

Wolfe further describes testing this lesson by confronting his 'Door of Fear' within his mind, which he found to be a manifestation of imagination. He learned that the fear is of the door itself, and by imagining positive things, such doors can dissipate. He also explored the concept of surrender by mentally erasing his sense of self, leading to a new sense of individuality and an encounter with 'the Other,' where questions were met with immediate answers.

It's true! Alien abductions recalled by Christy True

This article profiles Aileen Garoutte, founder of the UFO Contact Center International in Federal Way, Washington. Garoutte, who witnessed a UFO at age 17, established the center in 1978 to help individuals who have experienced alien abductions or close encounters. The center provides a space for people to share their experiences without ridicule, fostering acceptance and understanding. Garoutte, a licensed hypnotherapist, uses hypnosis to help people recall details of their encounters. The article notes that many people travel to Federal Way to meet her, and monthly meetings are held at the local trailer park clubhouse.

The article includes a drawing of an alien described by a contactee, and mentions that Garoutte corresponds with people globally. It highlights that many individuals who have had these experiences feel a sense of purpose afterward, believing they are 'born to help us.'

UFO: Lives are changed forever after alien contact

This section expands on the work of Aileen Garoutte and the UFO Contact Center International, detailing how alien contact experiences can profoundly change lives. Garoutte's goal is to help individuals remember and understand their encounters, often using hypnosis. While her attempts at hypnosis have been unsuccessful for herself, she has helped 'a couple hundred' people recall details. She organizes support groups for those who feel 'awakened' by these experiences, noting that integration into consciousness helps people lose their fear and improve their lives.

The article also touches upon the skepticism within the UFO community, citing Dale Goudie of the UFO Reporting and Information Service, who emphasizes reporting 'verified' sightings and government documents rather than unprovable abductions. Goudie notes that the U.S. government holds 8,000 classified UFO documents. Despite skepticism, many respectable people believe Garoutte's claims, and she lists several psychologists with doctorates as honorary board members.

Some aliens lived on earth, some look just like humans

This sub-section presents claims attributed to UFO believer Aileen Garoutte regarding interstellar beings:

• Diversity of Aliens: Various types of extraterrestrials exist, including those resembling humans, insects, and animals. Many are believed to have originated from Earth but left due to past conflicts.
• Pleiadians: Aliens from the 'Pleiades' star cluster are described as Nordic-looking, similar to humans, and are said to be 3,000 years ahead in evolution. They are considered benevolent and are attempting to prevent humans from harming the planet, as a spoiled Earth would affect their home planets.
• Intervention: These aliens have reportedly provided humans with ideas, scientific evidence, and inventions.

Patty Crawford's Experience: Patty Crawford, a commercial artist, recalled a vivid childhood memory of a UFO landing near her remote cabin. After her husband suggested it, she visited Garoutte and, under hypnosis, recalled three short alien beings guiding her onto a craft. She communicated with them telepathically and later with a human-like being who reassured her. She was not experimented on and was left unharmed. Crawford's experience led her to believe in the existence of aliens and motivated her to share her story publicly, noting that the people she met at Garoutte's meetings were not 'cult of wide-eyed people.'

Trudy's Experience: Trudy, a business owner, described seeing a red, white, and blue lighted craft up close, with human-looking creatures visible in the windows. This sighting led to flashbacks of being on board alien craft, prompting her to seek out Garoutte for support.

Garoutte states that contacts with aliens are almost always pleasant, and those who experience them often feel they have a 'job to do' to help humanity.

ANTONIO VILLAS BOAS (Continued from last month)

This section continues the detailed account of the Antonio Villas Boas encounter. Villas Boas describes being covered in a cold liquid, noting that the internal temperature of the craft was colder than the outside, suggesting the occupants might be from a colder climate. He was led towards a closed door where he observed a luminous red inscription on the metal. He attempted to memorize this inscription, which he later drew after hypnosis.

He then entered a smaller room where the door became indistinguishable. Two men applied a rubber tube to his skin, taking blood from his arm and chin. He experienced burning and itching at the sites where the blood was taken, indicating the skin had been torn. The article speculates that the blood might have been for plasma or transfusion for a hybrid baby, or for advanced medical study.

Villas Boas sat on a couch made of soft, grey material, and noticed smoke coming through wall openings, which made him feel ill. The narrative then shifts to describing the appearance of the aliens. They wore tight-fitting grey overalls with black bands, extending to a helmet-like head covering with two round, spectacle-like windows for eyes. These helmets, he speculates, might serve a purpose beyond breathing, possibly related to high-altitude environments, similar to oxygen masks.

He observed that the aliens' fingers could not bend completely, yet they gripped him firmly. Their clothing included a round red shield on the breast, from which a strip of silvery cloth extended to a claspless belt. Their pants were tight-fitting and continued onto shoes with upturned soles. Despite these unusual features, their gait was described as free and nimble, unaffected by Earth's gravity.

Suddenly, a woman entered the room. She was described as stark naked, beautiful, with fair, almost white, smooth hair, large blue eyes slanted outwards, high cheekbones, and a triangular face with a pointed chin. Her body was slim with high breasts, a thin waist, wide hips, and large thighs. Villas Boas noted that she was shorter than him, reaching only to his shoulder. The article suggests this woman might have been the one who originally grabbed Villas Boas.

He describes an embrace and sensual caresses from the woman, attributing his excitement to a liquid they had applied. He engaged in a 'normal act' with her, noting her grunts sounded like an animal and that she never kissed him. The encounter was described as a 'normal act,' and she behaved as any woman would.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around personal experiences with UFOs and extraterrestrials, the exploration of consciousness and spirituality (as seen in the Louis Turi and Corey Wolfe articles), and the practical support offered to those who claim alien contact (highlighted by Aileen Garoutte's work). The editorial stance is one of encouraging critical thinking, self-education, and open-mindedness within the UFO research community, while cautioning against unsubstantiated claims of expertise. There's a clear emphasis on the transformative nature of these experiences and the potential for individuals to find meaning and purpose through them. The magazine also continues to document classic cases like Antonio Villas Boas, suggesting a commitment to exploring significant historical accounts within the field.

Feature Articles

Alien Encounter and Craft Description

The issue begins with a detailed first-person account from an individual named Antonio, who describes an encounter with an alien craft and its occupants. He recounts being taken aboard the craft, undergoing examination, and being given a tour. Antonio describes the alien beings, their physical characteristics, and their apparent interest in his 'stock.' He details the interior of the craft, noting a metallic projection resembling wings, and the machine's propulsion system, which involved a rotating saucer and various lights. The craft's takeoff is described as extraordinary, with increased luminosity and speed.

UFO Markings in Pennsylvania Wheat Field

This section investigates mysterious markings that appeared in a wheat field owned by Henry Gottshall near Reading, Pennsylvania. Police Officer Jeff Vernacchio was the first to report the strange, cross-like and circular patterns. He noted the markings were imperfect, suggesting they were not made by humans, and ruled out wind damage. Farmer Gottshall, however, theorized that excess fertilizer caused the wheat to become top-heavy and fall, leading to the markings. Despite this, the incident attracted gawking tourists. The article includes photographs of the markings and mentions that samples of the wheat were sent to a lab. Officer Vernacchio also recalled previous reports of UFO sightings around a nearby power plant.

Cyclopeans: One-Eyed Beings

This extensive report by Fabio Picasso compiles 11 supposed cases of 'Cyclopeans' – beings with one eye – primarily from Latin America. The article traces the mythological origins of Cyclopeans and discusses various interpretations, including that 'Cyclops' might mean 'round-eyes.' The cases are categorized into short Cyclopeans (appearing since August 1965) and tall Cyclopeans (reported from 1960 to February 1965). Notable incidents include:

• March 1960, Salta, Argentina: A 2.4-meter-tall cyclopean being caused panic, though the report was later questioned as a hoax.
• October 1960, Salta, Argentina: A tall cyclopean, 'Ukumar Zupai,' attacked two women and a child.
• August 28, 1963, Sagrada Familia, Brazil: Three boys witnessed a UFO with four cyclopean entities inside, one of whom communicated telepathically.
• February 1965, Torrent, Argentina: Farm laborers encountered five small shapes that grew to 2.5 meters, with one entity pursuing a witness.
• February 21, 1965, Chalac, Argentina: Silvery objects landed, and three tall, luminous cyclopean beings emerged, though this event is considered a hoax.
• August 30, 1965, Arequipa, Peru: A 0.8-meter-tall cyclopean was seen, followed by a UFO.
• September 8, 1965, Puno, Peru: Eight 0.8-meter-tall cyclopeans were sighted by a boy and his parents.
• September 29, 1965, Arequipa, Peru: A 0.8-meter-tall cyclopean covered in luminous ribbons was nearly hit by a car, after which a UFO appeared.
• October 9, 1969, Laguna Blanca, Argentina: A van stalled while the driver saw a UFO with three 0.8-meter-tall cyclopean creatures.
• March 30, 1969, Cardenas, Mexico: Twenty little one-eyed men, 0.5 meters tall, were seen floating into the sky.

The article notes that tall Cyclopeans often behave aggressively, while short ones have appeared more recently. Most cases occurred in the Southern Hemisphere.

Bush and Extraterrestrials

A brief news item reports on U.S. President George Bush's reaction to a tabloid headline about an alien meeting him at Camp David. Bush jokingly remarked about keeping the meeting secret, referencing the tabloid's claim that the alien also met with Ross Perot.

Kristy's Thoughts and Experiences

This section features personal reflections and experiences from Kristy Buckles. She recounts childhood memories, including a dream that seemed to predict her grandmother's death. She also describes several incidents where she felt a sense of being saved from harm, such as a near-fatal car accident and a crane incident. Buckles details a profound personal transformation involving the cessation of epileptic seizures, weight loss, and a heightened sense of perception, which she attributes to a spiritual process and a shift in her emotional and mental state. She describes feeling 'transmuted' and experiencing a deep connection to others.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, alien encounters, and unexplained phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting witness accounts and investigative reports without necessarily endorsing them as definitive proof. The inclusion of personal experiences, such as Kristy Buckles' narrative, suggests an interest in the subjective and transformative aspects of such encounters. The compilation of 'Cyclopean' cases highlights a focus on historical and global patterns in anomalous phenomena. The magazine seems to aim at documenting a wide range of unusual events and beliefs within the UFO and paranormal community.

Title: The Missing Link
Issue: 120
Date: September 1992

This issue of The Missing Link focuses on UFOs, extraterrestrial encounters, and related paranormal phenomena, featuring personal accounts, investigative articles, and reader contributions.

UFOs, ETs and You by Tom Dongo

Tom Dongo, the columnist, shares his personal experiences with inexplicable events, suggesting that extraterrestrial beings might be playing games with humans. He recounts an incident in a remote Anasazi/Sinagua ruin in Sedona, Arizona, where he photographed handprints on a wall. Two photos revealed a white shaft of light and a charcoal-black oval area containing a face that he had previously drawn for friends.

He connects this experience to a lecture by Al Bielek, who was involved in the Philadelphia Experiment. Bielek discussed various alien types, and a slide shown by Bielek depicted a face identical to one Dongo had drawn, identified as a 'Grey' alien. Dongo challenges extraterrestrials to engage in honest, compassionate discussions and extends an open invitation for contact.

Local UFO Sightings

The article notes an increase in UFO sightings in the Sedona area over the past four months, including one incident involving a UFO landing and occupants emerging. Another incident is still under investigation.

Personal Encounters and Observations

Dongo shares another incident where a man and his dog encountered a large UFO while hiking. He also mentions a sighting of a 300- to 400-foot-diameter disc-shaped UFO. He expresses his intention to write more about these incidents as he learns more.

Food for Thought

This section poses philosophical questions about the nature of the universe, boundaries, other dimensions, and the existence of higher intelligences. It also touches upon the origin of existence and the creation of matter from nothingness.

It references a channeling session with Terry Newlon, who communicated with Djwhal Khul. Djwhal Khul reportedly reached the boundaries of universes and saw upward spirals of light. He also mentioned that entities tried to discover how and when existence began but could not reach the starting point.

Recommended Books

Two books are recommended: "Memories of Tomorrow" by Greta Woodrew and "The Unquiet Dead" by Edith Fiore.

The Wild Places

This section introduces "The Wild Places," a new journal of the paranormal, covering UFOs, crop circles, ghosts, Spiritualism, visions, aliens, guides, exorcism, and more. Issue 4 is highlighted, featuring articles on alien intelligences, Spiritualist history, the Prison Earth Theory, and occultism.

The "Photon Belt" Article

This section reprints an article from OMNI magazine by Patrick Huyghe about the "Photon Belt." It details an observation by Patricia Reiff, a senior research scientist at Rice University, who spotted a bright cloud that expanded and dimmed. Over 50 people in multiple cities witnessed the object, which was roughly halfway between Arcturus and Spica. Reiff calculated its size and altitude, and investigations with various agencies failed to provide an explanation.

"Red-Skies" Phenomenon

The article revisits the "red-skies" phenomenon that occurred around April 15, 1981, across the USA. It describes beams of red light observed in Redrock Canyon, California, and mentions that the phenomenon was visible from east to west and north to south. McCord Air Force Base explained it as a "noctiluscent cloud," which the author finds far-fetched.

Spacey Raptures Mask a Spiritual Yearning

This article, by Salem Alaton, discusses people who build their own spacecraft or are fixated on the night sky, suggesting it's a form of spiritual yearning. It references the work of photojournalist Douglas Curran and his book "In Advance of the Landing: Folk Concepts of Outer Space." A documentary film based on Curran's project is also mentioned.

The article highlights individuals like Paul Eichenberg, who built a flying saucer, and Ruth Norman, who leads the Unarius Academy of Science. It suggests that the fascination with UFOs and outer space reflects a deeper human aspiration and belief, rather than just an interest in aliens.

Implantation Anniversary Ceremony by Lorne Goldfader

Lorne Goldfader writes about experiencing electrical impulses in his leg and picking up biological nervous and thought energy transmissions from various life forms. He describes his cranium being pulsed and believes he is being conditioned by a kind and experienced culture. He notes that the implant area in his thigh pulses in sync with areas of his skull, suggesting a connection to his nervous system. He is trying to understand these transmissions and believes he is being prepared to perceive thoughts and health of other beings directly.

Letters and Book Reports

Dear Aileen: A Letter from Steven

Steven writes to Aileen about strange marks on the back of his right leg, which have been present for four years, are in a straight line, and have bled for almost a year. He also provides a drawing of a craft he saw in a dream and wonders if his dog might have seen the beings involved.

Dear Steven: Aileen's Response

Aileen responds to Steven, noting that his marks are similar to those described in a previous article. She suggests that what happens during sleep is difficult to explain, with theories ranging from inoculations for unknown diseases to blood sampling, and states that a direct conversation is needed for truthful answers.

Dear Aileen: A Letter from Frances Allen

Frances Allen shares a mini book report on "We, the Arcturians" by Dr. Norma Milanovich. The book discusses the 4th and 5th Dimensions, with the 4th being associated with Christ's teachings of love and forgiveness. It emphasizes that reality is within oneself and that the universe is oneness with God. The Arcturians are described as green, three feet tall beings. Frances describes an experience of feeling her atoms mixed with theirs in a sea of love and peace, concluding that there is a thin line between E.T.s and humans.
