"A Lot of Good Things Are Happening"

This section features a report by Debby Stark based on conversations with Ed Dames. Dames discusses his work with PSI TECH, which he describes as facilitating but not announcing 'The Big Announcement.' He suggests that the UN might be a logical place to look for trustworthy individuals for such an announcement, but PSI TECH has found someone outside the UN. Dames anticipates that future UFOlogists will be team workers rather than individuals hoarding information. He also touches upon the complexity of the UFO phenomenon and the involvement of people with expert knowledge. The article mentions that Dames is working on a book titled 'Psi Spies: The True Story of America's Psychic Warfare Program.'

The Big Announcement

Further elaborating on Ed Dames's insights, this section confirms information with him on October 15th. Dames states that plans regarding 'Martians' being awakened have become more complex and need to be laid out systematically. He suggests that events will 'overcome' humanity, leading to a global awareness. PSI TECH's people are handling the tactical work, while another group is responsible for the actual announcements and interviews. The newsletter aims to keep readers informed as they decipher these events, likening the situation to Columbus explaining a Detroit auto plant to the Queen.

A note provides information for readers unfamiliar with Ed Dames's theories, directing them to purchase back issues.

Mystery of Taos Hum Solved?

Ed Dames explains in a phone interview that the 'Taos Hum' was caused by a power line. The valley's geography and geometry transform the line's 60 Hz wave form to 17 Hz. He questions why Phillips, a company involved in investigating the sound, did not discover this sooner. Dames also mentions an alien device buried underground in the area, which is related to Martian activity, the Federation, and upcoming events involving Earthlings, but it is not the cause of the hum.

The Reaper: Crop Circle Corner

This report, submitted by Anthea Holland, details a crop circle making demonstration by Jim Schnabel at Pentlow, Suffolk, UK, on July 3rd, 1993. The event was organized by Montague Keen of the CCCS. Schnabel, under a hot sun, attempted to create a crop formation using a garden roller. Attendees included notable figures in the crop circle community such as Busty Taylor, Lucy Pringle, Stanley and Suzy Morcombe, Jo Holland, Una Darwood, and 'Bill Bailey.' The formation created was described as 'rough,' with some layering and right-angled turns. The report notes the presence of a white, dust-like substance on the corn stalks. The investigator's conclusion is that the experiment, while interesting, was inconclusive and only proved that Schnabel could potentially hoax such events.

Richard's Ruminations: Too Many UFO Sightings?

Richard Rowlette, NM State Director, discusses the reality of UFOs and the importance of understanding them. He observes that the UFO community is divided into two main camps: those who view UFOs as 'evil' and those who believe they are 'Space Brothers.' Rowlette challenges both perspectives, questioning why an 'invasion' hasn't occurred if UFOs are hostile, and why advanced beings would be poor at memory manipulation if they were abducting people. He also questions the logic of UFOs displaying lights and making themselves visible if they wish to remain secret. Rowlette suggests that the 'invasion' theories and 'secret' genetic experiments are suspect. He poses the question, 'Why are there so many UFO sightings?' if UFOs wish to remain hidden, noting that even after accounting for explainable phenomena, millions of sightings remain. He also questions the purpose of lights on UFOs, suggesting they are unnecessary for navigation and only serve to attract attention. The column touches upon cattle mutilations and the apparent similarity between aliens and humans, questioning why their thought patterns would be so different. Rowlette calls for a new approach to UFO research, demanding simple, logical answers and a reconsideration of existing research.

Dan de Mar Appointed New Bernalillo State Section Director

Dan de Mar has been appointed as the new director for the Bernalillo State Section of NM MUFON. Introduced by State Directors Richard and Maria Rowlette, de Mar expressed his enthusiasm. He is a resident of New Mexico, holds a degree in metallurgical engineering, and has worked as an insurance agent. His interest in UFOs was sparked by attending the International MUFON Symposium. He believes UFOs are real and that humanity should not consider itself the only intelligent life in the universe. He has not personally seen a UFO but notes his parents have had paranormal experiences. He acknowledges that some aspects of UFOlogy may be 'hokey' or beyond current comprehension.

Reports from the Field

Peter Limone reports receiving a call from Jim Goodall, who is investigating sightings of a craft flying at very high altitude over New Mexico, described as having a 'donut on a rope' contrail and a 'pulsing' engine. Goodall is attempting to track this craft and determine potential landing sites. He is traveling across the country for this research.

Announcements and Calendar

This section includes thanks to Gene Nieri for updates on Area 51, kudos to Carolyn Stark for recovering from surgery, and congratulations on the marriage of Christina Rowlette and David Jones. The calendar lists upcoming events: a Field Investigators Training Meeting on November 13th and an NM MUFON Meeting on November 30th, featuring a talk by Col. John B. Alexander on 'The Near Death Experience.'

Call for Reports

There's a strong emphasis on encouraging critical thinking and questioning established theories, particularly in Richard Rowlette's column.
