Magazine Overview

Title: MUFON Minnesota Journal
Issue: #165
Date: January/February 2014
Publisher: MUFON (Mutual UFO Network)

This issue of the MUFON Minnesota Journal focuses on re-evaluating the direction of UFO research, exploring the nature of extraterrestrial contact, and presenting intriguing anomalies about the Moon.

The CE4 Corner: Asking the Right Questions

Craig R. Lang, MS CHt, opens the journal with "The CE4 Corner," reflecting on a channeled message received during a past-life regression. The message suggests that the UFO research community, including MUFON, is not asking the right questions. While acknowledging the importance of scientific understanding, the message emphasizes that knowledge for its own sake is useless. Instead, it advocates for seeking with the heart and focusing on spirit, which is presented as the greatest need of our world. Lang ponders if the pursuit of scientific knowledge about UFOs, such as alien technology or origins, distracts from a deeper understanding of humanity's relationship with the cosmos and its own spiritual evolution. He notes that many experiencers also convey a similar message, urging a focus on consciousness advancement rather than deciphering alien warp drives.

Lang discusses the two main camps in UFO studies: the 'nuts and bolts' approach focusing on physics, flight characteristics, and physical evidence, and the more metaphysical approach seeking spiritual understanding. He states his own path has shifted towards the latter, viewing UFO interactions as a relationship. He introduces the 'Indigo Hypothesis,' which suggests that part of the abduction phenomenon involves genetic changes aimed at fostering an awakening or 'human improvement project' to create better cosmic citizens. Lang's goal is to bring healing to the human-visitor relationship, particularly by helping people overcome fear and assert their rights as sentient beings. He believes in forging a 'Cosmic Bridge' and that intellectual/technical understanding is not mutually exclusive with spiritual growth.

AN ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION - JANUARY 2014

William I. McNeff, a former head of the astronomy department at Northwestern University and scientific consultant to the Air Force, presents his perspective on UFO studies. He contrasts the 'Intelligence Method' used by agencies like the CIA and NSA with the 'Scientific Method.' McNeff notes that J. Allen Hynek once said, "Science is not always what scientists do." He defines the scientific method as a process of making falsifiable predictions, testing them empirically, and developing theories. He recalls a 1952 Air Force think tank prediction of increased UFO sightings on the East Coast, which coincided with the famous Washington D.C. sightings in July 1952. McNeff references Frank Feschino Jr.'s book, "Shoot Them Down! The Flying Saucer Air Wars Of 1952," which documents hundreds of Air Force pursuits and unexplained plane crashes, suggesting a historical 'war' with UFOs.

McNeff believes that Earth is being scientifically studied by approximately 70 or more extraterrestrial races, operating under a principle similar to the "Star Trek Prime Directive" of non-interference. He cites Betty Andreason's account, Patrick Huyghe's "The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials," and Roger Kvande's experiences as sources supporting the number of races and their non-interference policy. Kvande's account, detailed in the book "Extraterrestrial Odyssey" (co-authored by Lang and McNeff), describes an intelligent spacecraft and 'space-time travel.' McNeff also addresses the term 'extraterrestrials,' noting that MUFON consultants prefer 'aliens' due to the lack of scientific proof of extraterrestrial origin, as they could be 'interdimensional,' 'angelic,' or 'demonic.' An alleged alien response to a question about open contact was, "We want you to believe in us, but not too much!"

McNeff suggests that if humanity were to cause severe damage to Earth, aliens might make themselves known more openly. He references Stanton Friedman's view that 'tribal warfare' is a chief human activity. Dr. David Jacob believes aliens are planning a peaceful invasion, though no firm evidence supports this. The article also mentions the Paradigm Research Group's (PRG) petition to the White House for congressional hearings on an ET presence. McNeff concludes his estimate by stating that while acknowledgement and disclosure might be closer, it's a complex political issue.

Out of the closet, into the fire

Billy Cox of the Herald-Tribune reports on retired Air Force captain Bob Salas going public with his abduction experience. Salas was previously known for his stance on UFOs tampering with U.S. nuclear missile systems. The article details Salas's abduction in 1985 in Huntington Beach, California, where he was taken aboard a craft and subjected to a procedure involving a needle for semen collection and a physical examination. Salas, who had suppressed the memory until a hypnotic regression in 2006, feels a responsibility to share his experience due to the large number of abductees. He suggests that aliens are not just observing but are involved in producing hybrid beings through egg and semen collection, which could be 'horrifying or unifying.'

THE FLAT UNIVERSE: SUPPORT FOR ROGER KVANDE'S ACCOUNT OF SPACE-TIME TRAVEL

William I. McNeff explores the theory of the holographic universe, proposed by Juan Maldacena, which suggests that our universe is a 3D projection of a 2D alternate universe. McNeff connects this theory to Roger Kvande's account of 'space-time travel' described in "Extraterrestrial Odyssey." Kvande's experience of a 'space-time whirlpool' and the ship's ability to jump to different points in time and space aligns with the concept of a universe where 'everything has already happened.' Kvande's explanation of the universe as a 2D flat surface within a dark matter cloud, with an event horizon where time slows, is presented. McNeff finds this theory credible and lending credibility to Kvande's experiences, noting that it also relates to black holes being 'memory drives' of the universe.

Former Minister of Defence: Shooting Down UFOs Could Spark Intergalactic War

Jason McClellan reports on an interview with Paul Hellyer, Canada's former minister of defense, who believes extraterrestrials are visiting Earth. Hellyer asserts that UFOs are as real as airplanes and have been visiting for thousands of years. He claims that alien technology has been harnessed by Earthlings, leading to advancements in areas like microchips and Kevlar vests. Hellyer warns against pursuing military technology from aliens, advocating for peaceful cooperation. He believes that shooting down UFOs could trigger an interstellar war and suggests working with the 'benign species' that form the majority of visitors. Hellyer also testified at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, stating that aliens are living among us and at least two are working with the U.S. government. He announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth for thousands of years.

Minnesota UFO Reports

This section details two recent sightings in Minnesota:

• Minnesota Four Lights: On November 2, 2013, in White Bear Lake, six to eight objects were observed in a Big Dipper-like formation, hovering and then slowly fading. The witness, accompanied by his wife, captured photos and video.
• Blueish Orb: On December 13, 2012, in Falcon Heights, a large bluish-white orb was seen falling from the sky at an angle and disappearing into the tree line. The event was witnessed by the reporter and his son.

Strange Moon Facts

This extensive section, compiled by Ronald Regehr and Don Ecker, presents fifteen points of evidence suggesting the Moon is not a natural celestial body but possibly an artificial construct or 'Spaceship Moon.' Key points include:

1. Moon's Age: Moon rocks dated at 5.3 billion years old, and dust even older, predating Earth.
2. Rock's Origin: Chemical composition of dust differs remarkably from rocks, suggesting they came from elsewhere.
3. Heavier Elements on Surface: Abundance of refractory elements like titanium suggests they were brought to the surface.
4. Water Vapor: A vapor cloud of water was recorded passing across the surface in 1971.
5. Magnetic Rocks: Moon rocks are magnetized, despite the Moon lacking a magnetic field.
6. No Volcanoes: Craters suggest internal origin, yet no evidence of past volcanic activity.
7. Moon Mascons: Large, dense, circular masses beneath the maria could be artificial construction.
8. Seismic Activity: Hundreds of 'moonquakes' occur annually, with photographic evidence of gaseous eruptions and reddish glows near craters, suggesting non-natural phenomena.
9. Hollow Moon: The Moon's density is significantly lower than Earth's, leading scientists like Dr. Gordon MacDonald to suggest its interior is hollow.
10. Moon Echoes: Apollo 12 and 13 experiments caused the Moon to reverberate like a bell for hours, indicating an unusually light or non-existent core.
11. Unusual Metals: The Moon's crust contains titanium, Uranium 236, and neptunium 237, not found in nature on Earth, along with rustproof iron particles.
12. Moon's Origin: Theories of the Moon originating from Earth or space dust are disproven by moon rock analysis.
13. Weird Orbit: The Moon has a stationary, near-perfect circular orbit, with its center of mass offset, suggesting external influence.
14. Moon Diameter: The Moon's diameter and distance perfectly cover the sun during an eclipse, described as a sheer coincidence.
15. Spaceship Moon: The theory posits the Moon is a gigantic extraterrestrial craft, resolving all anomalies. Ancient Greek and Roman texts mention people called Proselenes who claimed to exist before the Moon. Symbols in Bolivia suggest the Moon entered orbit between 11,500 and 13,000 years ago.

The section also lists historical reports of anomalous lights on the Moon, NASA's 'Operation Moon Blink' detecting lunar events, and observations of artificial structures like a 12-mile-long bridge and an obelisk-shaped object.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the need for a paradigm shift in UFO research, moving beyond purely scientific inquiry to incorporate spiritual and metaphysical understanding. There's a strong emphasis on consciousness, human evolution, and the potential for a deeper relationship with the phenomenon and the cosmos. The issue also highlights the persistent anomalies surrounding the Moon, presenting a compelling case for its artificial nature. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to question established paradigms and consider unconventional theories, while also acknowledging the potential risks and implications of extraterrestrial contact and the importance of peaceful coexistence.

This issue of the Minnesota MUFON Journal, dated January 3, 2014, focuses on UFO phenomena and lunar anomalies. The publication is distributed for free as a PDF document by MUFON Minnesota.

UFO Sighting in Hamilton, Canada

The lead article, "UFO: Hamilton Witness Alleges Alien Base under Lake Ontario," details a sighting that occurred on December 7, 2013, at 2:01 pm. A witness in Hamilton, a city southwest of Toronto, reported seeing numerous orbs or orb-like lights in the sky while walking home from work. The witness described a "tingly sensation" and an inability to move, with approximately 10 orbs hovering above before moving off to the southeast. The witness also claims to have experienced a missing time event of about eleven minutes and believes the orbs were aliens attempting communication. The report is sourced from a testimony in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database. The article notes that Lake Ontario has been associated with the "Great Lakes Triangle" in relation to alleged alien activities and provides links to a video and references for the sighting.

Lunar Features and Statistics

Two distinct lunar features are highlighted:

The Tower

Described as one of the most curious features ever photographed on the lunar surface, "The Tower" is an amazing spire that rises more than 5 miles from the Sinus Medii region. It was captured on Lunar Orbiter photograph III-84M.

The Obelisks

In November 1966, Lunar Orbiter II took photographs that revealed several obelisks on the lunar surface. One of these obelisks was reported to be more than 150 feet tall. A quote suggests that "the spires were arranged in precisely the same was as the apices of the three great pyramids."
