Articles and Letters

Deliberate Deceptions: The Big Sur UFO Filming

This section discusses an article by Bob Jacobs, PhD, concerning an alleged "official U.S. Government-ordered UFO cover-up" in 1964. Jacobs, a former USAF officer, recounts his involvement in establishing a tracking site at Big Sur, California. He details "a total of 11 launches" from Vandenberg Air Force Base in September 1964, one of which he believes was an Atlas-F missile attacked and shot down by a UFO. This event, according to the article, forms the basis of the USAF cover-up and was part of a program to "develop an anti-missile missile" or an "enemy radar-defeating system." Jacobs drew six conclusions, with the article questioning the credibility of his claims that the event was prearranged or a demonstration for humanity's benefit, while acknowledging that evidence supports the occurrence of launches during that period.

Letters to Aileen

Several letters are addressed to "Aileen," the editor.

• Lorne Goldfader from Vancouver, B.C., Canada, proposes that UFO phenomena communicate through symbology and theatrics, suggesting that abduction phenomena might be a theatrical production by Visitors to make humans understand the sanctity of life, possibly by using fetuses as a metaphor for experimentation.
• Donald Nelson expresses gratitude to "TRO" for "planetary data" that will advance Earth's astronomy and space exploration, referring to it as "two 'giant steps' (the presently unknown planets) far beyond what Neil Armstrong alluded to."
• Danny Diaz comments on Keith Powell's artistic impression from a previous issue, relating it to themes of "Love and Light" and "One Universal Family." He also discusses the cover art of previous issues, suggesting they convey a message about the inability of authorities to hide the reality of UFO-ET phenomena. Diaz also addresses the "Deliberate Deceptions" article, criticizing the refusal of some to obtain the alleged UFO footage.
• Jim Deardorff shares an article from "Science magazine" about macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT), suggesting that if science can understand how objects can pass through walls, it might shed light on UFO abduction phenomena, implying that alien science is far advanced.

Cutting Magnets Down to Quantum-Effect Size

This article, attributed to I. Peterson, discusses research by physicist David D. Awschalom and his colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on macroscopic quantum tunneling in tiny magnets made of ferritin molecules. The research aims to test whether macroscopic quantum phenomena can be directly observed experimentally and has implications for packing more information on magnetic tapes and disks. The measurements revealed that ferritin molecules strongly absorb electromagnetic radiation due to quantum tunneling between magnetic states. While promising, other researchers remain skeptical, citing uncertainties in the geometry of the magnetic protein cores and a lack of conclusive experiments.

Wanted!!! The truth

A call for anyone with firsthand knowledge of aliens living among us, with communications to be held in strictest confidence.

Hot Tips

This section highlights two current trends: Gordon-Michael Scallion's newsletters, noted for their accuracy in future predictions (estimated at 86%), and the Bio-Magnetic Healing Technique, described as a simple method for self-healing that has shown encouraging results.

America and Russia on Their Paths Into the New Era

Authored by Anna Zontova and Vera Sazhina, this extensive article compares the spiritual development and New Age movements in the USA and Russia. It posits that while Americans are often driven by intellect and opportunities, Russians, influenced by a history of hardship, tend to rely more on intuition, emotions, and collective support. The article suggests that both nations have unique lessons to offer each other and the planet as they move into a new era. The USA's New Age movement is characterized by its focus on attracting desired situations and networking, while the Russian movement, which developed "underground" before Perestroika, emphasizes personal spiritual growth and a collective spirit. The authors note that Russians are receptive to new spiritual teachings and have a natural inclination towards intuition and psychic abilities. The article concludes by discussing the new opportunities for balance between the two nations, with Russia learning aspects of Western will and initiative, and America potentially benefiting from Russian emphasis on sharing and emotional connection.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include UFO cover-ups, the nature of alien contact, the potential for advanced scientific phenomena like quantum tunneling to explain UFO events, and the evolution of spiritual consciousness, particularly through the lens of the New Age movement. The magazine's stance, as indicated by its content and the organizations it features, is one of openness to unconventional ideas, a belief in the significance of UFO phenomena, and an interest in exploring the intersection of science, spirituality, and consciousness. There is a clear advocacy for the UFO Contact Center International and its mission, as well as a platform for reader contributions and discussions on these topics.

This issue of The Missing Link, number 123, dated December 1992, explores a wide range of UFO and New Age topics, featuring articles from various international contributors.

Russian and American New Age Cultures: A Dichotomy with Promise

The lead article discusses the complementary nature of Russian and American New Age cultures. Russian New Age workers are focusing on externalizing their ideas for public education and healing, aiming to manifest spiritual reality and create a more harmonious Russia. They are learning to balance emotions and thoughts, and integrate spiritual principles with material reality. American New Age workers are concentrating on developing attributes like love, care, acceptance, patience, and humility, along with intuition, emotions, creativity, and inner contemplation, to bring harmony into their lives. The article suggests that an exchange of experiences between these cultures can lead to a more global consciousness and balance. It highlights the mutual inspiration and attraction that occurs when individuals from these cultures communicate, with Russians admiring American knowledgeability and technologies, and Americans appreciating the emotional and intellectual depth offered by Russian perspectives. The authors propose that sharing achievements and errors can help both nations learn and avoid pitfalls. For instance, some Russians might be too focused on psychic abilities and magic, mistaking them for spiritual growth, while others might tend to escape reality. The article emphasizes that spiritual development requires learning, experiences, tests, positive thinking, and action, leading to actual changes in consciousness and life. It also acknowledges the challenges faced by the American New Age movement, such as commercialism and individualism, and suggests that the Russian movement should consider these experiences.

Toward a New Era: Uniting Efforts on a Global Scale

This section emphasizes the growing need for Light workers from various paths to unite globally for their spiritual journey into the New Era. Increased communication and understanding are seen as crucial for gaining a global perspective and coordinating efforts. The article calls for personal balance and harmony to be mirrored on a planetary level through communication and cooperation between diverse cultures. It suggests that overcoming past propaganda can facilitate deeper understanding and convergence between East and West, benefiting both individuals and the world by aiding spiritual development and planetary transformation.

Anna Zontova and Vera Sazhina are presented as an information network, inviting readers to contact them for information about Russian holistic groups and organizations, and to share their own group information. They also welcome responses to the article's subject matter.

Letters and International Correspondence

This section features letters received by the UFO CCI from around the world, with a particular focus on those requiring interpretation. George Chihladze from Tbilisi, Georgia, writes to Ms. Aileen G., expressing interest in UFOs and mentioning interesting cases in Georgia, including an object seen over St. David's mountain where a young man named David was reportedly healed by creatures from the object. He also notes that a bulletin sent by Ms. G. was published in their press and requests information.

Willard Van De Bogart from Oakland, California, is also listed as a contact for information.

UFO Sightings in China

This article details three major UFO events in China: August 27, 1987, October 31, 1990, and March 18, 1991, witnessed by thousands in southeastern regions including Shanghai and Taiwan. A table summarizes the sightings, noting the time, location, shape (spiral, 'U', fish, shuttle), colors (white, orange-red), brightness (brighter than stars), flying paths (SW to NE, SE to NW), altitude estimates (2,000-10,000M), visual size estimates (45' to 1°), movements (clockwise rotation, forward linear movement, sudden backward movement), speed (slower than comets, faster than commercial flights), and patterns (hovered with slow descending, rapid ascending). Environmental impacts were minimal, with one sighting involving the object splitting and merging.

Xuchang Airport UFO Sighting Report

This report, from the Journal of UFO Research in Gansu, China, details a sighting on July 23, 1992, by a pilot and others at Xuchang Airport. The object was described as a bright, moving light, initially mistaken for a star, but later observed to move and exhibit unusual maneuvers. Witnesses estimated its altitude to be between 15,000 and 20,000 meters. The UFO displayed a slow, counter-clockwise rotation and then moved in an arc downwards. It briefly became blurry and developed a halo before disappearing. Other witnesses, including ground crew and pilots, also reported seeing the object, and some experienced radio interference.

UFO Events in Mexico

This section, titled "PLATILLOS VOLADORES NOS ESTAN VISITANDO!", reports on UFO activity in Mexico, with a focus on sightings near Atlixco, Puebla, and in Morelos. Hundreds of people reportedly witnessed a large, strange light emanating from a hill called 'El Tetleyoloti' (Heart of Stone). The light was described as a bright, fluorescent, intense ball that hovered and moved at high speed. Similar sightings occurred in Morelos, including an object that fell from the sky and caused a tremor. The article mentions that Televisa is supporting serious investigations into these phenomena.

The Star of Belen

By Willie Durand Urbina, this article explores the phenomenon of the Star of Belen that guided the Three Magician Kings. It discusses various theories for its existence, including astronomical conjunctions (Jupiter and Saturn), the comet Halley, or a star visible only to the Magi. The author posits that the star might have been a flying object guided by a superior intelligence, indicating the birth of an extraterrestrial being, identified as Christ, who came to Earth to bring light and knowledge.

They Call It Earth

A poem by Richard Price, Sr., reflecting on the possibility of other inhabited worlds and the need to find a new home, questioning how humanity's approach to meeting potential extraterrestrial life might be received.

Aliens in the Basement

This article by Frank Kuznik investigates the persistent story of aliens and crashed UFOs being hidden at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. It recounts the history of the Roswell Incident, starting with the initial announcement of a recovered 'flying disc' in 1947, followed by the retraction and explanation as a weather balloon. The article highlights the work of researchers like Stanton Friedman and William Moore, who argue that the Air Force did recover a crashed saucer and alien bodies. It details the military's efforts to control the narrative and the ongoing public fascination with the event. The author recounts attempts to gain access to Wright-Patterson and discusses the broader context of UFO sightings in the modern era, including the naming of 'flying saucers' after a sighting over Mt. Rainier.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena, spiritual development, and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. There's a strong emphasis on eyewitness accounts, investigative efforts, and the growing public interest in these topics. The articles suggest a global interconnectedness in these phenomena, with contributions from various countries and a call for greater understanding and cooperation. The New Age perspective is woven throughout, framing UFOs and potential alien contact within a context of spiritual evolution and transformation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various theories and accounts while acknowledging the enduring mysteries and the need for further investigation. The magazine seems to advocate for a broader understanding of reality that includes phenomena beyond conventional scientific explanation.

This issue of The Missing Link, dated December 1992, delves into the persistent UFO phenomenon, with a strong focus on the Roswell incident and the role of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The cover prominently features a newspaper clipping from the Roswell Daily Record announcing the RAAF's capture of a flying saucer. The magazine explores the public's fascination with the Roswell crash, the subsequent media attention, and the perceived lack of transparency from the government.

The Roswell Investigation and Wright-Patterson

The article "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region" sets the stage, referencing the enduring mythos surrounding the 1947 incident. The author visits Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, home to the National Air and Space Museum's department of space history and Wright Laboratory, seeking evidence of UFO investigations. Despite the comprehensive nature of the museum, the author finds only a single glass case with alleged hoax items, including melted plastic and a crumpled metal ball, which is deemed insufficient for serious UFO investigations.

At Wright-Patterson, the author interviews Fred Oliver, a base spokesman on alien subjects, who uses Viewgraph briefings to explain the base's operations. Oliver acknowledges the public's expectation of secret facilities like 'Hangar 18' but states that the complex now houses 'cold cells' for testing engines under Arctic conditions, not alien bodies. He suggests that if a saucer had crashed, its remains would logically be at Wright-Patterson, the nation's center for aerospace R&D.

Keith Richey, chief scientist of Wright Laboratory, discusses the development of advanced weaponry and aerodynamics. When asked about saucer shapes, he states they are inefficient, requiring a high lift-to-drag ratio. Richey also implies that if a saucer had crashed in '47, its technology would likely be flying today, and that the Air Force has been analyzing advanced materials for decades.

Richard Moss, chief of cockpit development, showcases advanced flight simulation technologies, but offers no direct information on UFOs. Colonel Dick Borowski presents a division overview of new technologies, leaving the author too dazed to ask about hidden bodies.

UFO Sightings and Analysis

The magazine presents several UFO sighting accounts. Ted Loman, Director of UFOAZ, shares journal entries from March 3-4, 1972, describing observations of a bright, oblong, greenish light that appeared to be a flying saucer. The object was photographed and observed through telescopes and binoculars. Loman's account notes that the object's behavior was more attention-grabbing than its intensity, moving rapidly and stopping suddenly. He also mentions that attempts to identify the object with military operations, such as a NASA blimp, were unconvincing.

Recent UFO activity in Sedona, Arizona, is highlighted, with reports of numerous sightings over eight months. Incidents include two jet fighters escorting a large silver disc that 'jumped' straight up and vanished, and an 'airliner-sized,' triangular-shaped object with colored lights and a rumbling sound observed flying at low altitude.

Another account details a sighting on the Nevada Test Site on October 21, 1992, involving a 'HUGE GOLDEN AMBER COLORED' BALL OF LIGHT rising from the mountains, followed by 'TWO BOOMERANG SHAPED OBJECTS WITH LARGE WHITE LIGHT IN THEIR CENTERS.' Security was present, preventing closer approaches.

Broader Themes and Perspectives

Tom Dongo's article, "UFOs, ETS AND YOU," discusses extraterrestrial contact and teaching. He mentions a video from Tbilisi, Georgia, showing students and teachers interacting with ETs who appear human but are invisible to the camera. He also touches upon the commercialization of UFO phenomena, citing an anecdote about businessmen seeking to profit from alien interactions.

Dongo also addresses the dichotomy of public perception regarding UFOs and ETs, categorizing people into the 'Doom-and-Gloom Crowd' and the 'Love-and-Light Crowd.' He criticizes both extremes for their narrow-mindedness and suggests that a balanced, objective researcher must consider all aspects of a situation.

The magazine also includes an "Assorted Bits and Pieces" section, mentioning a family UFO incident in Maine from the mid-1960s where a disc-shaped craft followed a car for miles. It also teases a future article about a video allegedly showing a shootout between UFOs over New Zealand.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the enduring mystery of the Roswell incident, the perceived government cover-up of UFO information, and the ongoing reports of unexplained aerial phenomena. The magazine adopts a stance of critical inquiry, presenting various accounts and expert opinions while acknowledging the lack of definitive proof. It encourages readers to maintain an objective and balanced perspective when considering UFO and ET phenomena, suggesting that the truth may lie in combining different viewpoints. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded skepticism, seeking factual evidence while acknowledging the possibility of extraordinary events and advanced extraterrestrial technology.

This issue of UFO Magazine, though lacking explicit date and volume information, presents a visually rich collection of images and mentions related to UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and military operations. The cover is a collage that includes photographs of alleged UFOs, close-ups of eyes, and a prominent image of stealth fighters deploying during 'Operation Desert Shield' in August 1990. An artistic rendering of an alien is also featured on the cover.
