Key Articles and Features

UFO Art by Amaury Rivera

The magazine highlights the story of Amaury Rivera from Puerto Rico, who claims to have been abducted by alien creatures on May 8, 1988. He describes being taken aboard an alien spacecraft and spending several hours there with other individuals. Upon his return, he witnessed the craft and managed to take photographs, which uniquely show an F-14 Tomcat in pursuit. The article suggests Rivera has faced harassment from government agents seeking his photographic evidence. The magazine has been granted exclusive rights to publish his story and documentation.

Dear Aileen: El Yunque UFO Incident

This section features a letter from Willie Durand Urbina detailing a significant UFO incident in the El Yunque rain forest of Puerto Rico in February 1988. Witnesses reported a loud whistling sound followed by the sighting of a large, round UFO emitting bright lights. The object reportedly crashed into a mountain, causing a massive explosion. Subsequent government involvement included stationing military personnel and classifying information as 'top secret.' A local news station's videotape of the event allegedly disappeared. Urbina notes that the land where the crash occurred became arid, and vegetation ceased growing. He also mentions Colonel Jose' M. Nolla, Director of the Civil Defense State Agency of Puerto Rico, who publicly supports investigating UFO sightings despite a governmental document denying the El Yunque incident.

A LETTER FROM TRO

This correspondence from 'Tro' in France, dated September 20, 1992, discusses an 'Alphynew' alphabet system, which he has provided for inclusion in the magazine. He also mentions an upcoming asteroid pass-by and expresses interest in seeing articles on crop circles, even suggesting some of his own designs. 'Tro' encourages organization and unity among researchers.

Object still a mystery despite pass near Earth

This news item reports on a mysterious space object, designated 1991 VG, that passed within 290,000 miles of Earth. Scientists at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Lab hoped radar observations would confirm it as an asteroid rather than space junk. While initial observations suggested it was a rotating, dim asteroid, a later observation by a German astronomer found it brighter, raising doubts. Orbital computations indicated the object's orbit never came closer than 7.4 million miles to Earth during the Space Age, making a manmade origin unlikely. Astronomer Steve Ostro was expected to use a NASA radiotelescope to resolve the uncertainty.

Attention: Lorne Goldfader

This section includes a photograph sent by C.W. from Burnaby, B.C., which reportedly shows a heart-shaped UFO. The photo was taken during a friend's solo flight, and the object was only noticed after the pictures were developed. The sender, Lorne Goldfader of The UFO Research Institute of Canada, also mentions a personal experience of flashing a heart symbol to aliens for help with his mother's heart condition, and subsequently receiving this photo.

MORE PET PEEVES AND ROOF BRAIN CHATTERING

Written by Brent Raynes, this article reflects on a recent UFO meeting in Waynesboro, Tennessee, attended by Aileen Garoutte, director of UFOCCI. Raynes discusses his long-standing correspondence with Garoutte and his involvement with UFOCCI. He expresses some reservations about UFOCCI's emphasis on hypnosis and the 'contamination/confabulation factor' in their publications and meetings. Raynes suggests a need for qualifying training for investigators and a reconsideration of the 'Contact' aspect of the organization's name, believing it might alienate some individuals. He also touches upon the subjective nature of some contactee claims, such as an AIDS cure. Despite his critiques, Raynes reaffirms his commitment to supporting UFO experiencers and remains an associate director.

Director's Response: Aileen Garoutte responds to Brent Raynes' article, acknowledging his points and the frustration of working with skeptics while maintaining an open mind. She clarifies that new individuals undergoing hypnosis sessions are often unaware of UFOs and come seeking answers to unexplained experiences. Garoutte emphasizes that they do not lead witnesses during hypnosis. She expresses gratitude for the hospitality received and addresses the topic of her potential resignation as UFOCCI director, noting the difficulty in finding a successor due to the demanding nature of the role. She also mentions Dennis Viglo, the Associate Director, who believes external forces are influencing her to resign.

INVESTIGATIVE GUIDELINE NO. 1-91

This document, addressed to the General Inspector and other officials, is from Jose A. H. Nolla, Director, regarding Unidentified Flying Objects. It acknowledges reports of UFO and UMO sightings in Puerto Rico and states the necessity for the Puerto Rico Department of Civil Defense to investigate these phenomena to ensure public security. A special committee is to be assigned to this study, involving various government departments and observatories. Coordinators of Operational and Special Areas will conduct initial interviews with witnesses.

Operation Right to Know: 2nd National UFO Demonstration

A flyer announces the "2nd National UFO Demonstration" to be held on March 5, 1993, in Washington, D.C., with the slogan "END UFO SECRECY!"

VIEWPOINTS

By Corey Wolfe, this essay explores the concept of viewpoints and how they shape our perception of reality. Wolfe uses the quote by Epictetus, "It's not things, but our opinions of things that matter," as a starting point. He discusses how beliefs and prejudices are often formed by external information and how individuals can learn to adjust their reactions by examining the origins of their viewpoints. Wolfe also reflects on the nature of death and the importance of expanding one's perspective to achieve greater understanding, compassion, and tolerance. He likens life to a game and describes a practice of expanding his imagination to encompass the universe and its smallest particles.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO sightings, alien encounters, and alleged abductions, often presenting personal testimonies and photographic evidence. There is a strong undercurrent of government secrecy and attempts to suppress information related to UFO phenomena, particularly highlighted in the Puerto Rico incidents. The publication appears to support experiencers and aims to foster understanding and awareness within the UFO community. While generally accepting of contactee claims, there are internal discussions, as seen in Brent Raynes' article, regarding the methodologies and focus of the organization, particularly concerning hypnosis and the interpretation of subjective experiences. The overall stance is one of advocating for the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial presence, urging for transparency and investigation.

This issue of The Missing Link, Number 122, dated November 1992, focuses on the phenomenon of "black helicopters" and their alleged connection to UFO sightings and government surveillance. It also explores extraterrestrial encounters at U.S. military bases and the "Mission Rama" contactee experience.

Defending Yourself Against Black Helicopters

This article by Harv Howard examines the recurring theme of black helicopters in UFO lore. Howard posits that these craft are often reported to "visit" witnesses of recent UFO sightings, buzzing houses, hovering, and sometimes following cars. He explores three possibilities for these machines: friend, foe, or figments of imagination.

Howard questions the "friend" designation, noting that while governments may not be antagonistic, they have shown unfriendliness to those involved in UFO work. He suggests that if they were conventional military units, they would not be entirely black but the standard dark olive drab (OD). However, he acknowledges that OD can appear black when silhouetted against the sky or ground. The presence of black uniforms on crew members and the unconventional flying style of the craft suggest special purpose units conducting "dirty tricks" against citizens, a tactic not surprising to those familiar with UFO history.

As for the "foe" possibility, Howard dismisses the idea of space aliens using conventional helicopters to spook people. He entertains the idea of "friendly" foe, akin to "friendly fire." The most mundane explanation offered is that the UFO sighting itself may cause witnesses to become anxious and build meaning into innocent helicopter flights, leading to paranoic hysteria.

Howard further analyzes the "black helicopter business," noting that secret military units created in the 1960s are tasked with securing UFO crash sites. He suggests that during slack time, these units might conduct training runs that involve pinpointing and harassing UFO witnesses as a tactic to debunk UFOs. The article emphasizes that these units would have the knowledge, time, and secrecy to carry out such activities.

The article provides advice on how to protect oneself from perceived harassment by helicopters or mysterious cars. It advises understanding that the purpose is to interject into one's awareness and disrupt decision-making, sending the message "Big Brother is Watching You." The advice is to not succumb to fear but to take reactive action. While legal recourse is deemed difficult (citing the Cash-Landrum Case), the primary recommendation is to "enjoy the attention...and document it." This includes smiling, waving, and using a camera, preferably a 35mm or video camera with a telephoto lens, to capture details. It is suggested to photograph from inside the house through a window or open door. Enlisting a neighbor's help is also recommended. After an incident, sleuthing is advised, including checking with local police, demanding access to information, and moving up the chain of command. Checking local airport control towers and military bases is also suggested. The article notes that most military helicopters are used by the Army Reserve, Air National Guard, and regular Army, and these are typically dark OD. It encourages identifying the craft by checking local libraries for books on helicopters and looking for markings, which are often absent or small on these "black" helicopters. Filing complaints with the Federal Aviation Authority and local representatives is also advised. The article concludes by urging readers to share their evidence with the UFO community, stating, "We are not powerless. If we confront these Big Brother bullies, we can put an end to such tactics."

Mystery Craft Haunt California Air Bases

This article by Hal McKenzie reports on sightings of strange, dark, triangular, silent objects in southern California's Antelope Valley, particularly near Air Force bases and "skunk works" facilities. Independent witnesses have observed these objects moving along the San Gabriel Mountains. The sightings have been frequent within the last 10 months.

Hamilton cites a news report from Aviation Week & Space Technology about a near-collision between a United Airlines 747 and a mysterious, wingless craft on August 5. The craft was described as a lifting-body configuration, similar to the forward fuselage of a Lockheed SR-71, and estimated to be the size of an F-16. Defense Department and Air Force officials denied it was one of their secret projects, with one official hinting at "a lot of secret projects in the valley."

Reports of "big boomerangs" have also been sighted in the Lancaster area, some estimated to be 2-3 football fields in span. These sightings occurred in airspace controlled by military bases like Edwards AFB and George AFB, as well as an FAA facility. Authorities reportedly deny knowledge of these objects.

Hamilton also mentions suspicious sightings near Northrop facilities, including a "disc hovering directly over the facility in broad daylight." On October 26, 1988, witnesses saw two large boomerangs escorted by about 17 discs in formation, flying over the Northrop facility and later seen in Fresno. One witness estimated a boomerang to be twice the width of his property (330 feet).

Underground Structures, Alien Beings

This section, attributed to a witness interviewed by Elaine Douglass for a KPFA-FM broadcast, details alleged underground installations at military facilities, described as having 4-foot thick concrete walls and electronically-controlled oval doorways. The witness recounts an experience at Edwards AFB where he saw a being over seven feet tall, wearing a lab jacket, with arms nearly down to his knees. The witness described the being as having "big slanted eyes. A big head. Fingers were extremely long. Greenish skin."

Another encounter at the China Lake naval facility involved seeing four "greys" about 3 feet tall. The witness's co-worker, Paul, was so affected that he repeatedly snuck back to the hangar and was eventually kicked off the base. Months later, Paul was found mysteriously dead in Orange County, which the witness found frightening.

Witnesses Claim They Saw Aliens at U.S. Bases

This article by Elaine Douglass summarizes testimony from three unnamed witnesses who spoke on a California radio station about a close working relationship between the U.S. government and alien beings. The KPFA-FM program featured a construction contractor who claimed to have seen aliens at Edwards Air Force Base and China Lake Naval Weapons facility. Another witness described "saucers" being launched from a Northrop facility, and a third provided a second-hand account of a meeting between aliens and U.S. military officers.

Program producer Ralph Steiner reportedly threatened legal action and warned that persons whose testimony was on the tape had been threatened and their lives were in danger, leading to the program's broadcast being silenced. The article provides a summary and excerpts from witness No. 1, a Vietnam veteran and former Green Beret who worked on underground construction projects at various Air Force bases.

Mission Rama

This article by Edilver introduces "Mission Rama," a contactee experience that originated in Peru in 1973. It involves communication with extraterrestrial guides from "Morlen," a satellite of Jupiter, coordinated by "Oxalc." The word RAMA is explained as representing the Sun (RA) and Mother Earth (MA), meaning "Irradiating Light on Earth."

Mission Rama is described as a secondary mission of a cosmic hierarchy designed to help planets transition, such as Earth entering a fourth-dimensional mode. Morlen is a "colony of colonies" settled by beings from Orion, and it hosts beings from various worlds. The article notes that Hispanics have learned more about Mission Rama due to language barriers hindering American investigators.

The modern phase of Mission Rama began with Sixto Paz Wells, who became a psychographic "antenna" for telepathic communication. In 1973, the group experienced a telepathic message and a subsequent encounter with a hamburger-shaped metallic craft. They were told they needed to learn to control their emotions.

The teachings from the guides are described as spiritually and metaphysically instructive, emphasizing "Profound Love of the Cosmic Consciousness" (their term for God) and the importance of making contact with God within oneself. A series of 24 gatherings was devised to help remember the inner presence and activate psychic faculties, incorporating techniques from Raja Yoga, Mantra Yoga, and the Silva Mind Control organization.

Mission Rama was formally organized as a non-profit institution and has operated for 17 years, with groups formed in Peru and other countries. Some individuals underwent "initiations" where they were astrally or physically transported to other locations via "Xendras" (space-time portals). They also received "Cosmic Names" and "Cesium Crystal Pyramids."

The article explains that in each galaxy, there is a form of government and several hierarchies. In the Milky Way, the most important hierarchy consists of 24 "Elders of the Galaxy." These beings, along with the "Nine of Andromeda," form the "Great White Brotherhood of the Star," linked to the Great White Brotherhood on Earth.

Cosmic structure is described as having three types of universes: Material (7 dimensions), Mental (3 dimensions), and Spiritual (2 dimensions). In the Mental Universe, a being named Emmanuel represents God as Christ. The article discusses Lucifer's proposal to alter the evolutionary system by allowing greater free will, which Emmanuel opposed. This led to a schism, and experiments were conducted to create humanities that would follow Emmanuel's vision. Earth was chosen for this experiment.

The article traces the history of human evolution on Earth, mentioning "Ancient Fathers" who studied the world and planted life spores, and "Byperboreans" from Vega and Orion who established settlements. It discusses the creation of indigenous humans by seven genetic engineers known as Elohim, and the subsequent development of "Lemurians." Extraterrestrial intervention became complex due to Luciferian forces and cross-breeding experiments.

It mentions stories of extraterrestrial involvement, including the deportation of beings from a destroyed planet called Maldek to Earth to purge karma. These beings, instead of aiding evolution, used their abilities for their own purposes. Cosmic volunteers were sent to restore balance, leading to the formation of the "Dark Brotherhood" and the "Christ Consciousness" group based in Shamballah.

The article recounts the story of Atlantis, which had a close connection with extraterrestrial civilizations but eventually faced divisions and downfall. Efforts to save the experiment on Earth involved establishing cultural seeds in places like Sumer and Egypt. A special genetic line was preserved in the Hebrew community.

Emmanuel's plan involved creating a special experimental humanity capable of incorporating powerful energies and projecting Emmanuel, crucial for saving humanity from its recurrent cycle of failures. Master Jesus and Emmanuel emphasized dying to ego, surrendering to the Creator, and loving God and all men.

The extraterrestrial guides of Mission Rama teach that the greatest challenge is developing a universal consciousness of service. They do not desire physical contact for its own sake but to stimulate interest in contacting one's Inner Being. They emphasize learning from them as much as they are willing to learn from us.

A recurring theme is the "Profound Love of Cosmic Consciousness," with a message stating, "There is only one moment to love, and that is our whole life." A moral code called "Bredam" from Morlen is presented, emphasizing clear sight with the heart, correct identification with intuition, understanding with respect for reasons, judging with understanding of motives, dialogue with tolerance, and teaching through example.

Mission Rama's task is to bridge the distance between the Third and Fourth Dimensions, establishing connections with the White Brotherhood. The mission was first revealed to the world in 1975 through Spanish reporter Juan Jose Benitez. Subsequent events included press conferences and attempts to film extraterrestrial spacecraft.

The article highlights the experiences of Luis Fernando Mostajo Maertens from Bolivia, who became an important contactee for "Mission Rahma." Mr. Mostajo was scheduled to visit the U.S. in October 1992 to give lectures.

The author proposes studying and comparing Mission Rama's information with other contactee sources, noting a lack of serious comparative studies in the UFO field. The article questions how messages from different contactees, such as Billy Meier and Sixto Paz, are compatible or not.

Regarding reports of abductions by "gray" aliens, the article notes that Sixto Paz Wells used to deny these reports, fearing they would scare people away from contact. However, it is mentioned that some negative extraterrestrials might occasionally get through the defenses established by the Confederation, and in isolated cases, biological monitoring of Earth humans was being conducted.

The article suggests that sources like Darryl Anka's "Bashar" and The Ra Material might provide relevant information on "benevolent" vs. "non-benevolent" alien scenarios. The participatory nature of the Mission Rama experience, with thousands of individuals having contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, is highlighted as a unique characteristic. The gentle nature of these contacts conveys a message of hope, encouraging transcendence of animal and self-centered consciousness to become conscious participators in a larger cosmic community.

The issue concludes with an explanation of Mission Rama's emblem: a six-pointed star for balance and the Great White Brotherhood of the Star, a cross for movement and spiritual victory, a trident for mental, spiritual, and material aspects, the number 4 for Jupiter/Morlen, and the number 8 for origins through meditation and reflection.

Curious Avenue

A comic strip titled "Curious Avenue" features a humorous take on UFOs, with one panel depicting a newspaper headline "Elvis is alive, commands own fleet of UFO's" and another panel showing characters asking "WHO'S ELVIS?"

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the perceived surveillance and harassment by "black helicopters" and government agencies, the possibility of alien encounters and secret military projects, and the nature of extraterrestrial contact and spiritual evolution through organizations like Mission Rama. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging critical investigation, documentation of phenomena, and openness to unconventional explanations, while also cautioning against fear and promoting a proactive approach to understanding these events. There is a clear emphasis on the potential for government secrecy and covert operations related to UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena.

Title: The Missing Link
Issue: Number 122
Date: November 1992
Page: 21

This issue of The Missing Link delves into the topic of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, with a significant focus on Puerto Rico. The magazine presents a collection of articles, personal testimonies, photographic evidence, and investigative reports related to unexplained aerial phenomena and potential alien encounters.

Puerto Rico: Island of Contact

By Amaury Rivera Toro

The lead article, "Puerto Rico: Island of Contact," by Amaury Rivera Toro, introduces the island as a location frequently mentioned in UFOlogy, highlighting its history, inhabitants, and alleged extraterrestrial life forms that have established direct contact. Puerto Rico is described as a 35x100 mile island in the Caribbean Sea with a population of nearly three million, concentrated mainly in the northeast, including the capital, San Juan. The island's culture is a rich mixture of Taino Indian, Spanish, and African influences, with later additions from Holland, Germany, and France, now often referred to as 'American.'

Toro notes a societal division regarding these alien beings: some 'deify' them, while others, influenced by the predominant Catholic religion, view them as demons. He shares his personal experience, which initially evoked fear and anxiety but evolved into a more positive perspective. He mentions having been featured on television talk shows and in newspaper articles, emphasizing how speaking out has helped break down barriers and open minds to the reality of extraterrestrial activity.

The article announces that The Missing Link will publish a series of articles from the Puerto Rican newspaper "El Vocero," written by reporter Julio Victor Ramirez, who transitioned from skepticism to belief after a personal encounter. One upcoming article will detail Ramirez's personal experience. Toro expresses pride in being part of this effort to share valuable information with readers.

An editor's note confirms that The Missing Link is honored to be the vehicle for this information, directly from someone who has participated in contact with extraterrestrials in Puerto Rico.

My Personal Experience

By Amaury Rivera Toro

This section details Amaury Rivera Toro's personal UFO encounter. Born and raised in New York City, he moved to Puerto Rico in 1988 after a brief visit left him with a strong pull towards the island. Despite his aunt's warnings about the poor employment situation, he sold or gave away his possessions and moved. He found a job as a waiter through a cousin.

The pivotal event occurred the night before Mother's Day in 1988. While driving home on a lonely country road named "La Bajura" (The Low Part) around 4:30 a.m., he encountered a thick fog. He heard sounds resembling hooves and saw a creature jogging alongside his car. He initially mistook it for a midget or child, but its appearance was startling: about three to four feet tall, with a huge head, black bulging eyes that seemed to penetrate his being, white skin resembling clown makeup, a pugged nose, and a slit mouth. It wore a small, olive-green, one-piece suit. Toro was terrified and initially thought it might be a demon, not considering extraterrestrials.

He tried to speed away but accidentally stepped on the brakes. The creature appeared again, and then a second one. Someone or something opened his car door, and he saw two of them staring at him. Overwhelmed by fear, he passed out.

Upon waking, he found himself in a strange, underground-like parking lot with other empty cars. The walls were light grey, with no doors or windows. The creature reappeared, touched his forehead with a five-fingered hand, and he faded into darkness again.

He regained consciousness in a room with 14 other people, also illuminated without visible light fixtures. Two small beings and a man entered. This man, described as having dark tan skin, long black hair, and dressed in black, spoke perfect Spanish. He claimed to be human but from a different planet orbiting an alien star. He presented projections that seemed real. Afterward, the small beings touched everyone's forehead, and Toro awoke in his car on a dirt road, far from "La Bajura."

He then heard military jets and saw a disc-shaped object hovering silently. Using his cousin's camera, he photographed the object as it tilted and shot into the sky, evading the jets. This experience profoundly changed his life, and he is currently writing a book detailing his experiences.

Map of an Alien and U.S. Government Underground Base

This section includes a map, originally published in a San Juan newspaper, which was turned over to reporter Julio Victor. The map depicts what appears to be an alien and U.S. government underground base located under an aerostat near the Cartagena Lagoon. It shows various structures, including an elevator, a helicopter platform, computer centers, military vehicles, and a submarine tunnel. The map is labeled with Spanish terms for different elements of the base.

Photo Analysis Report

A preliminary photo analysis report from NASA's Industrial Applications Center, dated August 10, 1991, analyzes four photographs provided by Wendelle Stevens, taken by Amaury Rivera in Puerto Rico. The report states that the photographs are third-generation copies and were taken at dawn or dusk. Key findings include:

• No evidence of photo-overlays or dubbing.
• Two airborne objects are definitely metallic.
• Both objects are more than 40 feet in diameter.
• The objects display appropriate shadows and contours.
• One object is identified as a Jet (F-14 Tomcat), while the other is of unknown manufacture.

The report details the scientific procedures used, including edge function analysis and contour data-base construction. The analyst, Jim Dilettoso, finds no evidence that the photographs are a hoax and requests further information for continued testing, such as topographic maps and better quality photographs.

A caption accompanying the report describes "Photo 1" as a spectacular photo taken on Mother's Day, 1988, in Puerto Rico, showing a military jet in pursuit of a UFO. It asserts that this undeniable evidence shows the government is aware of the situation in Puerto Rico. "Photos 2, 3, & 4" are described as computer printouts from NASA's analysis lab, depicting the arc and edge contours used in their analysis.
