Kentucky MUFON Newsletter - Vol 1 No 4 - 1998

Magazine Overview

This is the November 1998 issue, Volume 1, Issue 4, of the Kentucky MUFON Newsletter. The cover features a personal story titled 'MY STORY.... ..FOUR HOURS OF TERROR!!!' and a quote about curiosity. The newsletter covers UFO-related information, paranormal events, and personal abduction experiences.

Personal Account: Four Hours of Terror

The lead article details a personal experience of 'missing time' where the author lost four hours and has no memory of where they went. Upon returning, their mother was upset as no one had seen or heard from them. The author suspects they were interrogated, drugged, and tortured mentally and physically by four men they believe to be government operatives. This is described as the most terrifying encounter in 20 years of missing time experiences. The author also recalls three puncture marks on their head in the shape of a triangle, which have appeared many times over the past ten years. They believe they were asked about future events and were threatened with a hypodermic needle containing a new strain of the Aids virus if they did not cease their research and communications. The author was also burned twice with a cigarette. They mention being shown a map of cataclysmic events, many of which have since occurred, and question why this information is needed.

Subscription Information

Beginning in January 1999, the Kentucky MUFON Newsletter will require a subscription of $22.00 per year for 12 monthly issues. These issues will contain approximately 6 to 12 pages of UFO-related information, with funds going towards printing expenses and conferences. The newsletter will also cover paranormal events surrounding UFO sightings, focusing on personal abduction and the spirituality derived from this knowledge.

Support Meetings

Support meetings are held every second Thursday and the last Friday of each month in Elizabethtown, KY, for those needing to share their stories.

FACES OF THE VISITORS: A SURVEY OF ALIEN CONTACT (Part One)

This article by Michael Lindemann discusses the ongoing debate about the character and motives of 'the visitors' in UFO phenomena. It notes the shift from early fears of hostile invasion to the dichotomy of hostile invaders versus benevolent space brothers. The article sets aside the question of whether UFO phenomena are real, focusing instead on the divided opinions about who 'they' are and what they are doing. It highlights the work of David M. Jacobs, who proposes a terrifying, surreptitious alien invasion scenario, and Budd Hopkins, who believes aliens are engineering a hybrid race. Jacobs outlines four alien programs: Abduction, Breeding, Hybridization, and Integration, aimed at supplanting humanity.

Vatican Admits ET Contact is Real

This section reports that Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a Vatican theologian, has stated on Italian television that extraterrestrial contact is real. He claims the Vatican is receiving information about extraterrestrial contacts from its Nuncios in various countries. Balducci is part of a Vatican commission investigating these encounters. He asserts that these encounters are not demonic or due to psychological impairment and deserve careful study. Parallel information from Dr. Michael Wolf suggests the Vatican is concerned about a major doctrinal updating situation when extraterrestrial contact is officially announced by world governments.

BOOK REVIEW: The Secret School by Whitley Strieber

Reviewed by Becky Sanders, this book is described as Whitley Strieber's most enjoyable work on Alien Abductions to date. It tells the story of a child taken from their bedroom to a deserted grove where alien beings taught them nine secret lessons related to the creation of life and structures on Mars. The review notes the possibility of intelligent life on Mars and the emergence of memories of an unhuman nature in people reaching their mid-to-late 40s. The reviewer found the book upsetting as it brought back memories, but recommends it for Strieber's predictions about the future. The book is rated an 8 out of 10.

How Do I Make It From Here....To THERE? A Self-Help Guide for Abductees

Written by Katharina Wilson, this guide addresses individuals who have had conscious memories of alien encounters since childhood. Wilson shares her own experiences, including a sighting of three hamburger-shaped crafts and the support she received from her fiancé, Erik. She emphasizes the need for resources and support for those experiencing awakenings. The guide offers self-help methods to gain control:

Keep A Journal

Keeping a journal is described as a silent, trusted companion that helps release memories and pent-up emotions related to unusual experiences and dreams. It allows for the documentation of specific details that might otherwise be forgotten.

A Creative Outlet

Drawing, painting, sketching, or sculpting memories is encouraged as a way to re-create experiences and achieve relief and closure. Even if one doesn't consider themselves artistic, illustrating memories while fresh can help retain details.

Hypnosis

The decision to undergo hypnosis should be taken seriously. Considerations include choosing a qualified and experienced hypnotherapist, ensuring a supportive system is in place to assimilate new memories, and only undergoing hypnosis if experiencing significant problems or memories related to the phenomenon, rather than out of curiosity. Hypnosis is not presented as a 'cure,' and the individual must determine the reality of their experiences.

A Psychological Evaluation

Wilson underwent psychological and medical evaluations, including CAT scans and MRI scans, which showed no signs of mental instability or disease. She notes that the scientific community is often closed-minded about abduction phenomena. Popular explanations like False Memory Syndrome (FMS), Sleep Paralysis, and Fantasy Prone Personality (FPP) are discussed, with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) being identified as the closest diagnosis to the symptomatology of abductions. The article describes PTSD symptoms such as persistent re-experiencing of the traumatic event, avoidance of stimuli, and increased arousal.

Part 2 of this article will be in the next issue, continuing with self-help ways to gain control. Information on Ms. Wilson's website and the Kentucky MUFON site is provided.

Kentucky MUFON Skywatch Event

On Saturday, October 24th, members of Kentucky MUFON hosted a Skywatch on a farm in Western Kentucky. The event involved sharing stories, information, and special equipment. The location was noted as meriting more research. The evening included a meteor shower. The event is suggested as an activity that can be done with children.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently focuses on UFO sightings, alien abductions, and related paranormal phenomena. There is a strong emphasis on personal testimony and the psychological and spiritual aspects of these experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, providing a platform for experiencers and researchers, while also offering practical advice and resources for those involved. The upcoming subscription model indicates a move towards a more formal publication structure. The inclusion of the Vatican's acknowledgment of ET contact suggests an interest in official or institutional perspectives on the phenomenon. The self-help guide for abductees highlights a supportive and empathetic approach to individuals dealing with these often-distressing experiences.
