Dear Aileen

This section includes correspondence from readers. Jim Greenen, owner of the International UFO Center in Orlando, Florida, writes about the success of selling the "Messengers of Destiny" video and mentions that over 700 videos of UFOs have been taken in Mexico, appearing nightly on Mexican news. He expresses disappointment that the news media in the US is not covering this. Greenen also anticipates attending a special screening of the film "Fire in the Sky" in Orlando and hopes the movie's success will encourage more films on the subject, suggesting the Meier story would make a good movie.

Another subscriber from Florida contributes information about Marcahuasi in Peru, describing it as a mystical power place potentially related to the Sphinx and Stonehenge. This subscriber also shares details about extraterrestrial bases and temples in the Andean Region, including Lake Titicaca, and mentions bases near Illimani and La Paz in Bolivia. The information includes details about a temple of the White Brotherhood called Paititi, guarded by Venusians, and the potential presence of a Solar Disc and Lemurian crystal.

International UFO Center by James S. Greenen

James S. Greenen, owner of the International UFO Center in Orlando, shares his observations from interacting with the public since the museum opened in August 1992. He believes the general public is not ready for the release of information about UFO existence, citing instances of people actively avoiding looking at UFO pictures. Greenen suggests that the government and media have successfully programmed the public over the past 45 years, making it difficult to reverse this programming without causing a crisis. He proposes that SETI might provide answers to UFO questions and encourages individuals to think for themselves.

Greenen plans to discuss information collected over the past 45 years in future articles, including personal opinions but acknowledging potential errors.

From George Friedrich

George Friedrich, dubbed "King of the UFOs," writes about his book "UFOs Creators of Man?" and agrees that many writers are motivated by money. He claims to have a special relationship with UFOs, able to contact them when needed. Friedrich lives on a secluded lake in Wisconsin where UFO sightings are common, even directly above his house. He recounts an incident on December 7th where four UFOs with colorful lights were observed near his home. His book, co-authored with Judy Statezny, is expected soon and will feature photos of UFOs taken by NASA astronauts.

John Anderson provides a biographical sketch of George Friedrich, noting he was dubbed "King of the UFOs" in the late 1970s for his articles on sightings. Anderson highlights Friedrich's dissatisfaction with the federal government's lack of transparency regarding UFOs, quoting him asking, "What are they afraid of? Do they think there'll be a panic?"

Marcahuasi

This article details the mysterious site of Marcahuasi in the Peruvian Andes, known as "house of two floors" or "the altar of the Gods." Situated at 13,000 feet, it features hundreds of lithic sculptures that resemble those found at other ancient sites like the Sphinx and Stonehenge, suggesting a possible Atlantean influence and a prehistorical period with a unified cultural influence. Traces of colors and pictograms are visible on the structures, along with more recent Indian constructions.

The article mentions Richard Hoaglund's video "The Face on Mars" referencing Marcahuasi. It also describes other related sites in Peru, including Aquos near Trujillo, an underwater base near Lima, and the "candelabrum" or "tree of life" at Paracas. The article notes that Marcahuasi might be the remains of a prehistorical period with a shared cultural influence, possibly Atlantean.

Friends of Interplanetary Visitors

This section introduces a new service called "FRIENDS OF INTERPLANETARY VISITORS," described as a place to talk with sympathetic individuals about UFO contact and abductions. It emphasizes having "NO BULL!... NO EGO!... NO GREED!... NO WASTE! & ABSOLUTELY NO SPIES!" The organization aims to assist and comfort those with experiences, without any agenda, and believes that infighting among UFO organizations is counterproductive. They prioritize listening to individuals and their viewpoints to establish a positive relationship with interplanetary visitors.

Other Content

The magazine also includes advertisements for space art galleries (NOVAGRAPHICS), kites (Into The Wind), meteorites (Bethany Sciences), eclipse tours (GROUPTRAV NATIONAL), and telescopes (ODYSSEY TELESCOPES, Coulter Optical, Inc.). There is also an advertisement for HOME-DOME observatories.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, extraterrestrial contact, ancient mysteries, and spiritual exploration. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded stance, presenting accounts and theories without overt skepticism, and encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional explanations. There is a strong emphasis on personal experience and the potential for humanity's spiritual evolution through contact with higher consciousness or extraterrestrial beings. The editorial stance seems to be one of encouraging investigation and open dialogue on these subjects, while also promoting a sense of responsibility and personal growth among its readers.

'The Missing Link' Issue 126, published May/June 1993, is a magazine dedicated to exploring UFO phenomena, paranormal events, and related mysteries. This issue features a prominent article about a local Portage County resident known as 'The UFO King,' alongside detailed reports on an upcoming event focused on Area 51, abduction experiences, and international sightings.

'King of UFOs' Calls Portage County Home

The lead article introduces George, a resident of Portage County, who is described as a man of many dimensions with a fertile mind and a deep interest in UFOs. His fascination began after a neighbor, Ken Buckingham, witnessed a brightly lit object with unusual movements. George's interest intensified when he received a packet of negatives from NASA, taken by astronauts on earlier space flights, which he believes provided evidence of spaceships from elsewhere. He has written a book titled "UFO or God" and has had numerous correspondence from people worldwide sharing their UFO sighting experiences, noting a particular interest from young people.

George and his wife, Henrietta, have witnessed over 100 UFOs, described as bright silver, white, red, or gold, and varying in shape from circular and pie-shaped to blimp-like. He advises observers to look for UFOs on clear, cloudless nights away from city lights, focusing on one spot for extended periods. He also suggests approaching sightings without fear, concentrating thoughts on contacting the entities and knowing who they are.

While George has been less active as a UFO enthusiast in recent years due to a decline in sightings in the US, he notes increased activity in Russia. He plans to be more attentive this summer. To skeptics, George relies on his intuition after talking to individuals to discern legitimacy.

Area 51 Event in Rachel, Nevada

Another significant portion of the magazine covers an upcoming public forum in Rachel, Nevada, on April 30 and May 1. Organized by Gary Schultz of the Secret Saucer Base Expeditions and co-organized by Norio Hayakawa of the Civilian Intelligence Network, the event aims to expose government secrecy surrounding Groom Lake (Area 51) and Papoose Lake (S-4).

Schultz believes the government is hiding alien crafts at Papoose Lake and that a joint technological exchange program with aliens is ongoing. He claims select US pilots are being trained to maneuver disk-shaped crafts there. Schultz, who has organized trips to the perimeter of Area 51 for years, recounts witnessing a metallic disk-shaped craft in 1990.

Hayakawa describes the event as a 'show of force' to pressure Groom Lake officials to reveal the truth. They plan to encourage engineers and technicians to 'come out of the closet.' Hayakawa notes that many workers in these secret facilities reside in small communities and are afraid of being identified as whistle-blowers. He also mentions that top scientists are flown in daily from Las Vegas.

The event will feature the public re-appearance of Robert Lazar, a former government scientist who claims to have worked on a back-engineering program at the S-4 facility, testing disk-shaped crafts. Lazar asserts that alien technology exists at S-4, though he has not claimed to have seen alien entities himself. He reportedly still works with the Los Alamos National Laboratory on Navy contracts.

Other speakers include George Knapp, former KLAS-TV anchorman, who will present new information substantiating Lazar's claims, and Tony Pelham, an investigative journalist who documented cattle mutilations and the existence of Area 51. John Lear, a controversial pilot, will also share undisclosed information about the Groom Lake facility.

The organizers anticipate that government officials, possibly disguised, will attend the event to monitor the information acquired.

Abduction Report and Canadian Sightings

Lorne Goldfader, Director of UFORIC in Vancouver, Canada, presents an "Interactive Abduction Report." A young woman, after receiving UFO material, reported suspected abduction activity. Under hypnosis, she confirmed numerous abductions starting at age two, describing aliens who altered her fetus and told her she was special. She recounted being taken to a 'dry and dusty' planet with structures and white-haired people. During a later session, she mentioned 'JANUARY THE FOURTH,' after which aliens reportedly visited her again, disassembling her body.

A "Brief Update of Recent Pacific Canadian Interior Sightings - 1993" details several incidents. On January 14, 1993, a girl in Heffley Creek, British Columbia, saw an object that responded to her flashlight signals. On January 20, hundreds witnessed a large fireball with a 'burning tail' resembling a meteorite, seen from Kamloops to Williams Lake, exhibiting a bluish-green aura with two smaller lights. Similar objects were reported in Georgia, USA, and Russia. Other reports include ground-level near landings and a 'glowing ball of fire' sighting.

The International Page: Spirit and Alien Interaction

Malcolm Robinson, editor of ENIGMA magazine, contributes an article about a man from East Kilbride, Scotland, who experiences numerous spirit manifestations and disturbances. This individual claims to have regular spirit contact with his deceased parents and has encountered frightening 'hologram' like faces and has been taken over by an invading spirit, receiving information about others' lives. He has also seen small spirit faces and has been told he is 'special' and being 'trained' to receive spirit on a higher level.

Intriguingly, this individual claims that Extra Terrestrials are working with spirit to raise human consciousness. He described seeing an alien resembling a typical 'grey' but with pink skin, and claims to have been inside a UFO. He also reported a tumor in his chest mysteriously vanishing after experiencing a warm glow. The article emphasizes the importance of personal experience in understanding these phenomena.

Editorial Stance

In her editorial, Aileen Garoutte, the editor, reflects on her long involvement with UFO research since a childhood encounter. She reaffirms that 'The Missing Link' will continue to be published, thanking loyal readers for their support. Garoutte explains that due to the organization's growth, she has stepped down as sole organizer but will continue to hold closed meetings and hypnosis sessions for contactees, as this is her chosen life's work. She dispels rumors of her stepping down and stresses the magazine's purpose of bringing together readers and providing a platform for information, distinguishing it from advertisement-heavy publications.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of 'The Missing Link' consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena, government secrecy, and personal experiences with the unexplained. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of open inquiry, presenting various accounts and theories without necessarily endorsing them as absolute truth. The emphasis on personal experience, particularly in the abduction and spirit interaction articles, suggests a belief in subjective reality as a valid source of information. The editorial reinforces the magazine's commitment to providing a space for these often-marginalized topics and fostering a community of like-minded individuals. The recurring theme is the persistent human fascination with the unknown, whether it manifests as extraterrestrial visitors, government cover-ups, or spiritual encounters.

Title: The Missing Link
Issue: 126
Date: May/June 1993

This issue of The Missing Link delves into a variety of topics related to unexplained phenomena, spiritual experiences, and alternative theories, featuring personal accounts, investigative reports, and reflections on the human condition.

Letters from the Readers

A Plea for Corroboration (LEB)

The issue prominently features a lengthy letter from an individual identified as LEB, who describes herself as a forty-one-year-old, college-educated former English teacher and freelance editor from Syracuse, New York, now living in Carlsbad, California. LEB details a profound and ongoing series of psychic and spiritual experiences that began in 1982. She describes these as "psychic cleansing" and "psychic transmissions" of a dynamic, religious quality, aiming to transform her psychological and sexual attitudes towards the world. These experiences include visions of a future higher order of society on Earth with equal sharing of roles, an evolutionary change in human brain size, and the possibility of helpful alien intervention to guide humanity through a period of mass destruction and pollution towards a "cleaner planet" and a higher level of spiritual existence.

LEB recounts being branded "psychotic" by medical professionals in Connecticut based on her "too-frank avowals" of these experiences. She mentions a possible abduction by "greys" when she was young, though the memory is suppressed. She expresses a desire for corroboration from individuals or organizations who have encountered similar phenomena, particularly those involving intense personal transformation, psychic transmissions, and visions of alien intervention or a new society. She notes that while books by Whitley Streiber and Betty Andreasson are helpful, her experience is primarily psychic and religious, not centered on physical abductions. She also speculates that syndicated cartoonist Berkeley Breathed might have had similar experiences.

The Antigravity Gyroscope (Helga Morrow)

Helga Morrow, an artist and channel, shares a personal account from her childhood, recalling a lesson from her father about antigravity. Her father, who worked at Maryland Dry Dock, demonstrated a gyroscope that could balance indefinitely, explaining it as the secret to antigravity in airplanes and ships. He showed her pictures of "ships, manned from outer space," described as white ellipses that could fly at any angle, and stated they were piloted by beings here to help humanity and "breed with our people." Morrow also recounts a demonstration involving a bucket of water swung on a clothesline, illustrating the concept of being in the center of a vortex and doing "very little work."

The Ultimate Deception (Helga Morrow)

In a second piece, Morrow reflects on her father, whom she describes as a "well-known scientist" who hid behind the facade of an average "John Doe draftsman." He became distraught in May 1952 after a trip, expressing fears of "mass destruction" and "racial wars" orchestrated by a clandestine operation to "thin out" the population. He believed that the women's movement and abortion rights were tools for selective breeding and that governments were conspiring to set up colonies on the moon and Mars for a select few to survive a predicted greenhouse effect disaster. He warned against breeding with the "wrong type" of specimen, fearing his offspring would not be good enough for the new colonies. Morrow also mentions her father's diagnosis of paranoid-schizophrenia and his subsequent hospitalization, including shock treatments. She recalls men in trench coats questioning her mother about her father's writings, which were ordered to be burned.

Selective Breeding (LEB)

This section, seemingly a continuation of LEB's letter, discusses the concept of selective breeding in detail. LEB's father expressed extreme views on this topic, stating that it is "useless for you to have a child" unless one selects the right partner. He believed that inferior individuals, particularly those with "innate blood diseases" from certain ethnic groups, would be eliminated unless they intermarried with "superior beings." He also spoke of a planned "blood bath" war in 1966 to thin out the population and the establishment of colonies on other planets. LEB recounts her father's distress and eventual forceful removal by police, with her mother labeling him as delusional and a believer in flying saucers.

Alternative 3

This section discusses the controversial book "Alternative 3" by Leslie Watkins, David Ambrose, and Christopher Miles. It describes the theory that colonies are being formed on the moon and Mars to house selected individuals from every field of endeavor, intended to save a segment of the population from the predicted disaster of the greenhouse effect. The book was reportedly banned worldwide. The author connects this theory to her father's fears about selective breeding and the potential for being deemed "selected" or not.

Articles

Visiting Death: Woman Tells of Glimpse of Paradise (Betty J. Eadie)

This article, by Kathie Price of The Arizona Republic, details the near-death experience of Betty J. Eadie, as recounted in her book "Embraced by the Light." Eadie describes a trip to a heavenly realm filled with light, gardens, and music, where she felt immense love and peace. She did not want to return home. The article highlights that her story is considered one of the most detailed accounts of a near-death experience, with physician Melvin Morse calling it "a textbook of the near-death experience."

Eadie's interpretations include lessons on healing, the influence of free will on illness, and the importance of prayer. She also shares insights on Jesus as the son of God and the necessity of all religions for spiritual growth. The article notes that Eadie, a half-Sioux, had been raised in Catholic schools but had never heard of near-death experiences before her own.

Messages from Heaven (Rev. Jack Spaulding)

This report by Don Harris of The Arizona Republic focuses on the prayer services led by Rev. Jack Spaulding at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Scottsdale. Some attendees believe that Jesus and Mary speak through Spaulding, delivering messages that bring a sense of peace. The services, which include a recitation of the rosary and a Mass, have attracted visitors from around the world. Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien of the Phoenix Diocese appointed a commission of inquiry that found the messages "explainable within the range of ordinary human experience" and "not miraculous," but allowed the services to continue.

Gianna Talone, a parish visionary, reportedly received a message from Mary urging continued prayer. Spaulding's administrative assistant, Margie Perry, described Spaulding as becoming subdued when delivering messages from Jesus, often not remembering what he said. Visitors like Bernie Rekiere, an electrical engineer, reported feeling a "feeling of peace and contentment" from the services.

The Terrestrial Search for God (L. L. Wood)

L. L. Wood reflects on the current state of the world, describing it as a time of "transformation that will determine the eventual evolution of our species." Wood emphasizes the need for global cooperation and the breakdown of perceived boundaries between peoples, attributing conflict and strife to the desire for duality and separation. The author believes that the key to unlocking human hearts and minds is LOVE, which will manifest creativity, beauty, art, music, poetry, dance, and evolution. Wood expresses a sincere desire for all mankind to strive for unity with the "God Force," envisioning a future where people help each other and share resources. Those who cannot achieve this unity may be reincarnated on a planet more suited to their soul's vibration. Wood also mentions meeting "God's Light Workers" and being inspired to live a life that brings glory to God.

Russia Moves Ahead with MIR 2

This brief news item reports on Russia's progress with its new Mir 2 space station, noting that its funding is accelerating as the U.S. space station program faces redesign or cancellation. Synergy between U.S. and Russian programs is being studied, with the Mir 2 station scheduled for permanent staffing by late 1996 or early 1997.

Space Station Partners Dismayed

This short piece states that NASA's international partners on the space station are dismayed by the potential loss of years of work due to redesigns and that they intend to hold NASA to its agreements.

Marcahuasi

This section discusses Marcahuasi, a mysterious place in Peru known for its "stone tables" that represent links between Earth-based and cosmic forces. It mentions that some individuals have astrally projected to Marcahuasi and seen archives of ancient world history within a cave in the Fourth Dimension. The area is described as a "power place" with much more to it than meets the surface.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of The Missing Link revolve around the exploration of the unexplained, the nature of consciousness, and spiritual experiences. There is a strong emphasis on personal testimony, particularly from individuals who feel they have encountered phenomena beyond conventional understanding, such as alien contact, psychic transmissions, and near-death experiences. The magazine appears to provide a platform for these voices, seeking to validate their experiences and explore their implications for humanity's future.

The editorial stance, as evidenced by the inclusion of these diverse accounts and the editor's notes, seems to be one of open inquiry and a willingness to consider phenomena that lie outside mainstream scientific and religious paradigms. The magazine encourages readers to share their own experiences, suggesting a commitment to building a body of evidence and fostering a community of like-minded individuals. There is a clear interest in the potential for spiritual evolution and transformation, both on an individual and a species-wide level, often framed within the context of UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial contact.

This issue of ASTRONOMY magazine, dated September 1993, presents a blend of spiritual and environmental commentary alongside information about an upcoming astronomy event. The magazine's cover features a striking image of a starry night sky with a telescope, accompanied by the headline "Visit the center of the universe." The issue appears to be exploring broader themes beyond traditional astronomy, touching on consciousness, personal transformation, and planetary well-being.

Spiritual and Environmental Commentary

The lead article, spanning pages 1 and 14, discusses the concept of collective consciousness evolving towards a "Universal Mind." The author suggests that as humanity learns of future events, they "quickly assert themselves into fact shortly thereafter," a phenomenon termed "Serendipity." There is an expressed lack of fear regarding death, described as a "stepping through a door," with the "Spirit" guided by the "God Force."

Significant emphasis is placed on personal purification. Readers are urged to "clean up our minds and bodies," abandon addictions, adopt a clean diet (specifically avoiding animal flesh, which is said to "stagnate the souls attempt to reach higher levels"), and engage in regular prayer and meditation. The importance of quieting the mind to hear divine guidance is highlighted, as the "next level of being is a mental one, and all of our thoughts will have form." Developing focus and control over thoughts through meditation in this lifetime is presented as a way to ensure a "beautiful and productive" next level with fewer "hard lessons."

Physical fitness is also stressed, with a call to "Excercise the body!" The author criticizes modern technology for promoting a sedentary lifestyle and states that individuals will need to be in "Top Flight" condition to withstand future "rigors and stresses."

The commentary then shifts to environmental concerns, questioning whether the "disrespect we show our own planet" through pollution, rainforest destruction, underground nuclear testing, and events like Chernobyl can continue without "karmic backlash." The author links recent unusual weather patterns and "disasters" to this behavior, warning of more severe consequences that could kill millions if not addressed. The question is posed: "What will be left of our beloved planet for our children to inherit?"

The article references "Our Elder Brothers," identified as the Kogi, an ancient tribe of Central American Indians, who are distressed by the impact of humanity and "TECHNOLOGY" on the planet. The author notes that some individuals have memories of past incarnations as Native Americans, which intensifies their pain at witnessing the planet's degradation.

Readers are encouraged to envision Earth as a "Garden of God" in a "Utopian fashion," generating a "Love vibration to heal the wounded and scorched Earth." The ideal future depicted involves people cooperating, abandoning weapons, planting trees, and enjoying a clean blue sky. The core message is to "live with nature and each other instead of thinking and acting selfishly, and against the Laws of Nature."

The author acknowledges that "tumultuous times ahead" are expected before a "cleansing" occurs, and those who remain will "band together and use the power God has given us to restore our" planet.
