Friends tell of nightmare brush with UFO on Ilkley Moor

This article recounts a terrifying encounter on Ilkley Moor, UK, involving two young women who parked in a lay-by. They witnessed oblong white lights, which later transformed into a silent formation of about 15 to 20 green and red lights, described as a circle and diamond shape, three to four cars in size. The experience left them petrified, fearing abduction. The encounter was followed by an envelope of light engulfing their car. Police authorities confirmed no helicopters were in the area, and a local author warned that such sightings are often followed by alien abduction attempts.

Dear Aileen: Letters to the Editor

Several letters are featured:

• Laura Cyr of Federal Way, Washington, describes her experience in a crop circle, noting the unique patterns of the wheat and a 'magical' feeling in the smaller circle. She believes UFOs created the pattern, not the farmer.
• John Roth is seeking contributions for an anthology about 'little people' from various cultures, with proceeds going to the Native American Scholarship Fund. He is looking for artists to illustrate the book and for people with knowledge of stories concerning humanoids associated with UFOs.
• Edward L. Barth, Jr. reports on crop circles near Centralia and mentions listening to Art Bell's program about cattle mutilations in New Mexico.
• John T. C, Jr. shares a deeply personal and disturbing account of his experiences, which he believes are related to UFOs. He describes a UFO sighting in 1974, followed by years of unsettling 'dreams' involving figures and a sense of being observed. More recently, he has experienced a decline in his physical health, including hair loss, muscle weakness, and pain, which he links to these experiences. He is seeking expert explanations for what is happening to him.

Editor's Comment

The editor, Aileen McGilton, responds to John T. C, Jr.'s letter, stating that there are no true 'experts' in the field but that learning occurs over time. She suggests that John seek out hypnosis to access stored information and understand his experiences.

Lecturer to recount UFO abduction

This article profiles Leah Haley, a 43-year-old woman who claims to have been abducted by space aliens dozens of times. She is speaking at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, with researcher Mark Davenport. Haley describes typical abductions starting with waking up to a beam of white light, being taken to a spacecraft, and undergoing medical experiments. She admits she has no proof but wants to educate others and help those who have had similar experiences. Her public speaking has led to family estrangement and job loss, which she attributes to government harassment. Eddie Middleton, co-founder of the UFO Discussion Group of Memphis, notes the resurgence in popularity of the UFO phenomenon and mentions Dr. John E. Mack's book detailing alien abduction cases. Haley began having flashbacks in 1990 and, after seeing a hypnotherapist, became convinced of her experiences.

Brought Back by Prayer

This is a personal account by Julie Jolley about her son Brad's severe burn accident in March 1991.

He mentioned hearing Heavenly Father's voice and seeing a man with reddish-brown hair and a beard.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently features personal testimonies of unexplained phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and alleged alien abductions. There is a clear emphasis on sharing these experiences, even without concrete proof, with the aim of educating the public and connecting with others who have had similar encounters. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-mindedness and a willingness to explore these topics, encouraging readers to share their own stories and seek understanding. The inclusion of letters and personal accounts suggests a community-oriented approach, where shared experiences are valued. The magazine also touches upon the potential for government interest or involvement in UFO research, as indicated by the press release about the civil suit.

Article: A Close Encounter in New York City by L.L. Wood

L.L. Wood recounts two significant UFO experiences. The first occurred in childhood in Seattle, involving a silent, brightly lit craft moving in an unusual manner. The second, more impactful experience, took place in Brooklyn on March 17, 1988. While with her boyfriend, Wood witnessed a V-shaped formation of lights that moved towards them, hovered silently overhead, and then departed. She notes the absence of any visible craft body, the unusual stillness of the surroundings, and a perceived 'time warp' where they were delayed by several minutes. Wood reflects on the experience, questioning whether it was a UFO and considering the possibility of missing time, while also exploring her subsequent artistic endeavors inspired by 'off worldly images' and New Age music.

Article: MPs urged to lift veil on aliens

This news brief reports on 'Operation Right to Know,' a joint American/UK campaign that will lobby MPs, the Ministry of Defence, and the US Pentagon to reveal information about UFOs. The campaign highlights six points of evidence, including documented reports of non-human technology, landing traces, numerous witnesses, video recordings, testimonies of craft retrieval after crashes, and worldwide animal mutilations.

Article: UFO sighting backed up

This article from the Ilkley Gazette reports on two additional witnesses who claim to have seen an unidentified flying object over Ikley Moor. These sightings corroborate earlier reports from two teenage women who experienced a feeling of dread and saw an envelope of light engulf their car. Eileen Furbank described seeing a small, diamond-shaped, orange and blue light hovering and twinkling, while another anonymous woman's husband also reported seeing a similar light.

Article: Sudbury's UFO remains a mystery

This piece from the Sudbury Mercury discusses the enduring mystery of UFO sightings near RAF Woodbridge in 1980. The incident, which involved a landed 'spaceship' and strange lights, has attracted worldwide interest, with people from the US and Japan investigating. Sarah Richardson, then 12, recalls seeing three lights like fireworks. A report by the deputy base commander, Lt Col Charles Halt, described a 'strange glowing object' that landed, illuminated the forest, and then disappeared. While animal mutilations and radiation traces were noted, the Ministry of Defence concluded there was no military significance.

Article: UFOS AND PRECOGNITION by Preston E. Dennett

Preston E. Dennett's article explores the phenomenon of precognition in UFO encounters, arguing that these events are not always random and that witnesses are often made aware of their encounters beforehand. Dennett presents several cases: M. D. P. Daish in England felt an impulse to go outside and saw a red light; a family on the Norfolk Broads simultaneously looked up just before an object appeared; a woman in London awoke and saw a large, pulsating globe of light; a family in Port Monmouth, New Jersey, experienced UFO sightings after waking up for no apparent reason; and a family in Topanga Canyon, California, reported repeated encounters with a metallic disk that would wake them and silence animals. Roger Martin reported being woken up and experiencing a form of communication. The article also mentions Chuck Rak experiencing precognition of a UFO encounter and subsequent abduction on the Allagash Waterway, and a case in Burbank, California, involving UNSOLVED MYSTERIES employees. Arni Wyler of Pasadena, California, describes a strong impulse to look out his window, leading him to see a spot of light that transformed. Dennett concludes that precognition suggests these events are important and may involve telepathic communication or internal perception, urging readers to follow such impulses.

Article: UFO Abductee Makes Peace With Past at City Expo by Phill Casaus

This article from the Journal features Travis Walton, the subject of the movie 'Fire in the Sky,' who spoke at the Whole Life Expo in Albuquerque. Walton, who claims he was abducted by aliens on November 5, 1975, discussed his experience and his efforts to come to terms with it. He expressed a desire to have stayed in the truck that night, but now, nearly 19 years later, he is trying to make peace with his past. Walton, now 41, a husband, and father of four, still lives in Snowflake, Arizona, where he was raised and where many initially believed him to be a 'flake or a fake.' He has broadened his perspective, becoming more of an expert on human nature than UFOs, and finds coping by withdrawing and trying to get on with his life.

Article: STRANGE AND UNKNOWN

This personal account details a series of unusual experiences beginning in childhood. The narrator recalls noticing lights in the sky that followed them, waking up with dirt on their hands and feet, and hearing a droning noise that vibrated their bed. They describe seeing a space-craft hovering outside their window and later being blinded by a brilliant white light. As a teenager, they experienced electrical appliances acting erratically, taps turning on, and knocking sounds. A friend witnessed a doll's pram moving on its own. At 17, after moving to a new house, the narrator felt they were floating and saw a large glowing orb. Later, at 19, they developed a circular mark on their leg, which swelled horribly, and which they believe might be a tissue sample from an alien encounter.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alien encounters, abductions, and the paranormal aspects associated with them, particularly precognition. The magazine appears to present these accounts with a degree of seriousness, encouraging further investigation and open-mindedness. The editorial stance seems to be one of exploring unexplained phenomena and providing a platform for witnesses to share their experiences, while also acknowledging skepticism and the need for rigorous study. The inclusion of 'Operation Right to Know' suggests a push for greater transparency from authorities regarding UFO information.

Title: The Missing Link
Issue: 133
Date: July/August 1994

This issue of The Missing Link delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena, including a former islander's conversion to believing in Bigfoot, UFO sightings across different regions, mysterious crop circle formations, and explorations of sacred sites with potential extraterrestrial connections. It also features an in-depth look at an esoteric organization focused on interdimensional communication.

Personal Experiences and Encounters

Bigfoot Sighting in the North Cascades

The cover story details the experience of Elmer "Skip" Frombach, Jr., a former Vashon Islander who became a "bigfoot convert" after a terrifying encounter on July 15, 1989. While on a day hike in the North Cascades near the Canadian border with his family, Frombach, who did not previously believe in Bigfoot, witnessed a hairy mass tumble down a slope. He described the creature as standing upright and walking on its hind feet, with thick hair covering its body except for its face. He estimated it to be eight or nine feet tall. The creature emitted a grunt and later, when Frombach fired his pistol, it leapt into the brush, looking like a "Tasmanian Devil cartoon." Frombach believes the creature intended to scare him off rather than harm him. His account was later investigated by Peter Byrne of the Bigfoot Research Project and featured on the NBC show "Unsolved Mysteries."

Sleep Paralysis and Unexplained Phenomena

Another personal account details a series of unsettling experiences, including episodes of sleep paralysis, waking to find the room filled with an "indescribably substance" resembling jellyfish, and objects moving inexplicably. The narrator describes attempts to scream for help that were impossible, lights flashing, and electrical devices malfunctioning. One incident involved a friend on the phone who reported similar phenomena. The narrator also mentions speaking a strange language in her sleep, which her Scottish husband identified as Gaelic, a language she does not know.

UFO Sighting in England

Gavin Ledwith reports on an incident where three friends were guided off Ilkley Moor in England at night by an unidentified flying object (UFO). Ufologist Nigel Mortimer plans to reveal details of this sighting, which occurred about two years prior to the article. The friends reportedly fell into a trance near the Swastika Stone landmark and woke up hours later, having been led by a football-sized bright white light across streams they would not normally have been able to navigate. Hypnosis is planned to further investigate their accounts and the lost time.

Mysterious Patterns and Phenomena

Strange Patterns in a Wheat Field

An article by Blair Crawford describes a bizarre pattern discovered in a 20-hectare wheat field near Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The symmetrical figure, noticed by neighbor Jon Parks, featured a central corridor with concentric circles and T-shaped figures. Local businessman Barry Purdie provided an aerial view, revealing the pattern's symmetry. The Wismer brothers, who farmed the field, declined to comment. Acting Sgt. Bob Wollison of the Malden OPP suggested the pattern might be the work of mischievous teenagers, noting the closure of Boblo Island amusement park. The article mentions that similar crop circles have been found in over 20 countries.

Sacred Places and UFO Activity

Several articles explore locations in the American Southwest believed to be sacred sites with potential connections to UFO activity and spiritual phenomena. These include:

• Mt. Taylor, New Mexico: Described as a possible "entrance" area for UFO activity, with reports of UFOs "charging up" from the region's uranium reserves.
• Terrero Cave, New Mexico: Referred to as a "Dream-Vision-Quest Cave," it is said to store electrical energy and is associated with reports of "Light Beings" guiding people into underground cities.
• Grand Canyon Caverns, Arizona: This cavern is noted for its pure air and possible links to sacred underground sites, with the remains of a prehistoric sloth found there.
• Hopi Inner Earth and Sipapu: The Hopi "Sipapu" (place of emergence) near the Little Colorado River is described as a sacred site, a mound with a water-filled opening, believed to be an entrance to the Hopi Inner Earth.

Esoteric Groups and Beliefs

Galacteus: An International Community for Cosmic Connection

This section introduces Galacteus, an organization founded by I.J.P. Appel-Guery, described as a leading group in interdimensional contacts. The movement began about twenty years prior in Paris, with a group seeking to maintain contact with "supraterrestrial energy fields and superior dimensions of consciousness." They advocate for a communal lifestyle, vegetarian diet, and suppression of substances like alcohol and drugs to enhance sensitivity. The group has established a worldwide network of crystals and has communities in places like Bora-Bora and a castle in France. I.J.P. Appel-Guery, who claims to have been contacted by a superhuman dimension at age twelve, aims to synthesize Western and Eastern thought and create a unified consciousness.

Extraterrestrial and Supraterrestrial Contacts

I.J.P. Appel-Guery and the Galacteus group believe that satellites and rockets are ushering in a "cosmic age" and that humanity must take responsibility towards other civilizations. They emphasize the need to address the imbalance created by "science without conscience." The phenomenon of UFOs is seen as a reminder that humans are not alone and are more than just physical bodies, but energy vessels with transcendent correspondences.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of The Missing Link consistently explores themes of the unexplained, the paranormal, and potential extraterrestrial or interdimensional influences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting personal accounts, investigative reports, and explorations of belief systems that challenge conventional understanding. The magazine encourages readers to consider possibilities beyond the mundane, from Bigfoot encounters and UFO sightings to the spiritual significance of certain locations and the potential for advanced consciousness and contact.
