Reader Correspondence and Personal Accounts

Letters to Aileen:

• Peter Valiton from Portland/Vancouver, WA, expresses his enjoyment of "The Missing Link" and eagerness to learn more about "Mission Rama".
• A correspondent identified as E.T. from Youngsville, PA, writes to Aileen, encouraging her to persevere and "keep watching the sky", hinting at something wonderful about to happen.
• A lengthy letter from Robert, who identifies himself as being in prison, discusses his transformation and a confusing path he is on. He warns of a potential assassination attempt within 10 years and offers powerful knowledge. Robert describes experiencing vivid visions, including one of a military base with dead bodies and aliens, which he believes confirms information from a previous article in "The Missing Link" (Vol. 12, No. 117, page 22, concerning Dr. Paul F. Bennewitz). He also mentions drawing symbols and making up languages. Robert expresses a desire to communicate on a more open level and hopes to show the recipients "the ones we dream of". He also mentions having loaned his book, "The Star Rover", to another incarcerated person.

Reader Inquiry about Carved Rocks:

• L.W. from Connecticut writes to Aileen about seeing unusual "carved rocks" at a rest stop off I-90 in the Midwest and asks for identification, specifically requesting that they not be identified as "CARVED ROCKS".

UFO Sightings near Kinzua Dam

One of the most detailed accounts is from a correspondent who, along with a friend, witnessed strange aerial phenomena near Kinzua Dam on three separate occasions in November 1992:

• November 12th (approx. 8:00 p.m.): A slow-moving red ball of light approached, stopped, changed colors, and then emitted a bright white flash before moving overhead. The experience left them feeling strange and sleepy, and their sleep patterns changed.
• November 19th (approx. same time): A similar red ball of light appeared at the upper reservoir and settled in a wooded area, but nothing further occurred.
• December 3rd (approx. same time): In an open field, they observed a multi-colored moving light performing aerial tricks. Afterward, they both woke up around 2 a.m. and experienced strange dreams.

These experiences have led to persistent sleep disturbances and strange dreams for the witnesses.

Spiritual and Cosmic Themes

"The Time Is Close At Hand" by Aileen:

Aileen discusses a feeling of change and an "energy source" affecting her. She references a letter from Jim Greenen of the International UFO Center in Orlando, Florida, who has been receiving accounts of "earth changes" and people being told to come to Orlando to meet their contacts. Greenen mentions an urgent need to leave Florida by May 1993 due to impending events. Aileen also shares information from a new center in McNeal, Arizona, regarding "Quasars" and their assignment to planet Terra. Quasars are described as transmitters of information to souls in near and far universes, with the main objective of relaying information to a higher intelligence called "Mantra". The Mantra energy is said to be invading Earth's vibrations, causing significant changes. The information is transmitted through Quasars and will influence future decisions regarding Terra's destiny. The correspondent emphasizes that while they cannot interfere with free will, they can offer information.

"Light Workers" by L. L. Wood:

This poem speaks of "Light Workers" who shine a brilliant white light, bringing hope and guiding souls toward evolution. They are described as delivering the world from darkness and hate, wielding the "unerring sword of Truth". The poem urges readers to let go of preconceived ideas, awaken to the task at hand, and recognize their true selves. It calls for activating positive energy flow and fulfilling a destiny planned long ago.

Letter from Russia:

A letter from Russia reiterates the concept of an energy flow transmitted to Earth. It mentions a "seal" opened on April 17, 1992, influencing all living beings for seven days, activating positive and negative aspects within souls. The year 1993 is described as a time of "energy influence" and the "last time" for this flow, which has historically led to the appearance of distinguished religions and knowledge. The current influence carries the "main idea" and the "seedstar of all knowledge", urging individuals to become "bearers of the idea" and "vessels for the energy" in this decisive incarnation.

Ancient Mysteries: Paititi

"A Journey to the Legendary Land of the Serpent People, 'Paiquinquin Qosco'" by Sixto Paz Wells (translated from "Ano Cero"):

This article explores the legendary Inca city of Paititi, also known as "The Twin City of Cuzco" or "The Heart of the World". Located in the Antisuyo Region of the Empire of the Sun, Paititi is described as a refuge for "Serpent Men" who emigrated after the collapse of the Inca Empire. The region is characterized by mountains, jaguars, piranhas, spirits, and gods. The article recounts the escape of Choque Auqui, a surviving Inca prince, with wisemen to an oasis of peace. A city was erected on the Plateau of Pantiacolla, connected to Paucartambo. The area is said to be filled with deep caverns where tall human figures in white robes have been seen. The "Paco-Pacuris" are mentioned as original inhabitants of the underworld. A XVII-century Jesuit map describes Paititi as "Heart of the Heart; Indian Land", a place of power for making and desiring. Ten scientific expeditions have failed to reach Paititi, which is protected by strange malfunctions, storms, and dense clouds, suggesting it is a protected site and a door to another dimension, holding knowledge preserved by a lineage.

Poetry

"Men with Broken Hearts" by Hank Williams, Sr.:

This poem describes individuals who are defeated, living in the past, and carrying immense sorrow. It urges compassion and understanding, reminding the reader that anyone could find themselves in a similar state. The poem reflects on the cruelty of life and the pain of the "living dead".

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include UFO sightings and encounters, the possibility of alien contact, the call for government transparency regarding UFOs, and the exploration of ancient mysteries and spiritual evolution. The magazine appears to present a platform for personal accounts, esoteric information, and calls for action related to the UFO phenomenon. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging readers to share information and consider alternative perspectives on reality and cosmic events. There is a strong emphasis on the idea that significant changes are imminent and that humanity is at a crucial point in its evolution.

This issue of The Missing Link magazine, dated March/April 1993, presents a multifaceted exploration of unexplained phenomena, spiritual quests, and critical environmental issues. The content spans personal accounts of expeditions, warnings about ecological destruction, and analyses of mysterious events and symbols.

Expedition to Paititi and the Machiguenga

The magazine details an arduous expedition into the Peruvian Amazon, aiming to reach the legendary Paititi. The journey involved navigating treacherous rivers, interacting with the Machiguenga indigenous tribe, and seeking guidance from a shaman named Altomisayo. The narrative emphasizes the spiritual and inner journey required to find Paititi, suggesting that true discovery lies within oneself. The group faced numerous challenges, including difficult terrain, equipment malfunctions, and the need for perseverance. They were warned by Altomisayo that spiritual, mental, and physical harmony were essential for reaching Paititi and that nature itself would test them.

Environmental Crisis and Indigenous Wisdom

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to environmental concerns, drawing parallels between the warnings of indigenous peoples and the scientific understanding of ecological threats. The article "LISTEN LITTLE BROTHERS" highlights the message of the Kogi Indians of Colombia, who consider themselves "Elder Brothers" working to maintain the planet's ecosystem. They warn that humanity is destroying the Earth and that continued destruction will lead to human extinction. The article also references the film "The Medicine Man" and quotes information from the National Arbor Foundation regarding the critical state of rainforests. It details the devastating impact of deforestation on climate, rainfall, biodiversity, and the potential loss of future medicines and food sources. The article urges readers to take action by supporting the Arbor Day Foundation's "RAIN FOREST RESCUE" operation.

Another section discusses "Mary's Message to the World," a book that conveys warnings about the Earth's destruction and predicts future weather-related disasters. It also touches upon Marlo Morgan's book "Mutant Message Downunder," which describes the plight of Australian Aborigines facing ecological collapse.

The Arctic Under Threat

An editorial reprinted from The New York Times, "WE HAVE TO PROTECT NO-LONGER-PRISTINE ARCTIC," addresses the severe environmental threats facing the Arctic region. Scientists are finding DDT, dioxin, heavy metals, oil leaks, air pollution, and acid rain. The article notes that pollution from industrial sites in Eurasia and agricultural runoff from Asia are contaminating the Arctic. It highlights the 1991 Arctic environmental protection strategy adopted by eight Arctic rim countries but criticizes the lack of resources allocated by the United States to implement monitoring plans and strengthen relevant laws and treaties.

Unique Characteristics of Pictograms

The issue includes a section detailing the "Unique Characteristics of Pictograms" (not found in hoaxed formations), compiled by Ross Dedrickson. This list outlines 22 distinct features observed in genuine crop circles, including how plant stems bend without breaking, cell wall anomalies, electrical equipment malfunctions, unusual sounds, the appearance of unidentified lights, magnetic anomalies, and the rapid formation of these patterns. It also notes historical connections, such as the Barbary Castle formation resembling a 1687 diagram, and the appearance of Mandelbrot Sets in crop formations.

The Travis Walton Incident

The article "FIRE IN THE SKY" recounts the true story of Travis Walton, a logger who disappeared in November 1975 after encountering a bright light in the sky in Arizona. His subsequent reappearance and his account of being aboard an alien craft brought international attention and controversy. The article emphasizes that the event is one of the best-documented alien encounter claims, corroborated by multiple witnesses, and discusses the disbelief and skepticism faced by Walton and his companions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the interconnectedness of humanity, nature, and the cosmos. There is a strong emphasis on the spiritual dimension of human experience, from ancient traditions and indigenous wisdom to personal quests for enlightenment. The magazine also takes a clear stance on environmental protection, urging readers to recognize the severity of ecological crises and to take action. The editorial content suggests a belief in the importance of unexplained phenomena, such as UFOs and crop circles, as potential indicators of larger truths about our reality and our place in the universe. The overall tone is one of raising awareness and encouraging critical thinking about the challenges facing humanity and the planet.

This issue of "The Missing Link" (Number 125, March/April 1993) focuses on UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and related spiritual and astronomical topics. The cover headline proclaims "FLYING SAUCERS ARE VISITING US!", signaling the magazine's primary theme.

Film Feature: 'Fire In The Sky'

The issue prominently features the upcoming film "Fire In The Sky," based on the true story of Travis Walton's alleged UFO abduction. Paramount Pictures announced the film's release for March 12, 1993. Producer Joe Wizan comments on the story's exploration of human character and behavior, while Director Robert Lieberman highlights the consequences faced by those ostracized for their beliefs. Screenwriter Tracy Torme describes the film as a study of how a single event can alter a life, touching on themes of friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness. The Production Information was sent by Gregg Brilliant, Senior Publicist of Paramount Pictures. The article includes stills from the film, featuring actors James Garner, Robert Patrick, Peter Berg, and Craig Sheffer, and also shows D.B. Sweeney as Travis Walton.

Personal Encounters and Spirituality in Sedona

Helga Morrow contributes a personal account of her experiences in Sedona, describing a period of intense psychic activity and strange phenomena. She recounts an incident on July 4, 1991, where she was the only one experiencing a localized rain shower, followed by a rainbow. A more profound experience occurred around 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning, where she felt a spiritual presence, described as a "heavenly Mother" figure, accompanied by angelic music and a scent of roses. This apparition communicated with her, confirming the validity of her "blue-eyed, blond entity" and asking her to "build my church," which she interpreted as an inner spiritual church.

Morrow also shares an anecdote about her daughter Chrissy receiving a vision of a salmon-peach light ball for protection, which later proved crucial when Chrissy's car wheel detached, narrowly avoiding a fatal accident. This event was linked to Morrow's earlier vision of the salmon-peach light and the purchase of matching baby booties.

She further details her experience organizing the first UFO/ET Science Expo in Sedona, prompted by a divine message. The event was a success, attracting volunteers, speakers, and even a documentary filmmaker, with the positive message recorded for wider dissemination.

UFO Sightings and Investigations in Mexico

An article translated from the newspaper "Custodia" by UFOMEX reports on serious investigations into UFO phenomena in Mexico. Offices in the Federal District received rumors of a strange, huge light observed near Atlixco, Puebla. Subsequent reports included sightings of a "Flying Disk" near "Tres Marias" and similar phenomena between the Popocatepeti and Ixtachuatl volcanoes. Researchers note a significant increase in UFO cases in Mexico, with approximately forty thousand reported in the last twenty years and a considerable rise in sightings in the past seven months.

These sightings have occurred globally, with examples from Brazil, Peru/Bolivia border, Hungary, and Argentina. The article mentions potential interest from NASA, Mexican and Japanese researchers, and the King of Spain in these phenomena. It also notes mass sightings in Belgium, Puerto Rico, Canada, the U.S., Russia, and China.

Key figures in Mexican UFO research mentioned include Pedro Ferriz and journalist Jaime Maussan. Nino Canun's TV program "What is Your Opinion?" is also highlighted. A private TV network's ambitious project to study UFOs is also noted.

Specific incidents detailed include hundreds of witnesses seeing a strange light near Atlixco, Puebla, emanating from a mountain called "Tetloyolatl" (Heart of Stone). This light is described as an intense, luminous ball that appears between 10 pm and 3 am, floating for extended periods and sometimes illuminating tombs. Another event in Morelos on May 11 involved an object approximately three meters tall falling from the sky, emitting intense light.

Further astronomical observations include a solid silvery object seen during a solar eclipse on July 11 in Mexico City, similar to objects photographed in Morelos in 1973 and Calgary, Canada, in 1967. The article poses questions about whether these mass sightings indicate preparation for contact or a desire to teach peace.

Discussion on Alien Races: The 'Greys'

Bob Anthony's article, "Greys...", expresses strong disapproval of the term "Greys," considering it racist and suggesting "Zetas" or "Terrans" as alternatives. He argues that these beings are not invaders but species seeking contact, and that their advanced nature and non-hostile intentions are evidenced by their long presence and lack of aggressive action despite humanity's weaker defenses.

Anthony believes the "Greys" are trying to help humanity avoid destructive paths, emphasizing the importance of learning from their mistakes rather than fearing them. He criticizes the limited conceptions of reality held by some humans and suggests that fear of invasion is unfounded.

Conversation with an Alien

A Q&A section titled "Conversation with an Alien" further explores the nature of the "Greys." The alien entity explains that the "Greys" are not of their realm but are connected and require help to carry out their work with minimal interruption to human psyche. They are described as more advanced than humans but capable of physical manifestation. Their bodies are simple, designed for absorption and release, making them vulnerable to complexity. They manifest physically at night due to daytime vibrational complexities.

The alien clarifies that Earth is like a "planetary United Nations," with various life forms having come and gone. A specific number of souls were meant to inhabit Earth and connect with "Greys" and higher beings of light to create a race suitable for the planet. The "Greys" were present at a meeting where this concept was developed.

The alien also discusses the concept of "paths" and individual assignments, suggesting that progress is measured differently by higher realms and that fear hinders advancement. It is stated that many choices made by humans are based on emotions, intellect, and ego, rather than accurate memory of prearrangements.

Regarding whether humanity was "seeded from elsewhere," the alien states that only a certain number of souls were originally intended for Earth, with others being "off shoots" of a larger consciousness. These beings are not asleep but exist in a different state of awareness.

Finally, the alien discusses Mr. Hoagland's team's discovery of a correlation between a city on Mars and an area in England, explaining that fixed common denominators exist throughout the Universe, revealed naturally or purposefully to stimulate wonder.

Astronomical News

An article titled "TOUTATIS IS A BINARY ASTEROID" reports on the first radar images of asteroid 4179 Toutatis released by NASA. These images reveal a binary nature with two roughly spherical pieces of rock (2.5 and 4 km in diameter) appearing to be in contact. The surface is described as rough, with a 700-meter crater visible.

Another piece highlights the McMath Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak, now renamed the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope in honor of Keith Pierce. The telescope remains crucial for infrared solar observations and nighttime observations of celestial bodies.

Astronomical software and celestial events are also mentioned, including Jupiter and the Moon appearing together on March 10, and the Moon passing Mars on March 31.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea of ongoing UFO activity and the importance of investigating these phenomena seriously. There's a strong emphasis on spiritual aspects, personal encounters with higher beings, and the potential for human evolution through contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and encouraging of research and belief in these subjects, while also cautioning against fear and promoting a broader understanding of reality. The publication also serves as a platform for promoting UFO-related literature and merchandise through its back pages.
