Reflections

E. Macer-Story critiques the investigative approach presented at the 1996 Omega UFO Conference in North Haven, Connecticut. The speaker, claiming to be a MUFON investigator, advocated for immediate telephone contact with witnesses and on-site interviews, which Macer-Story deems unprofessional and potentially illegal without proper consent. He emphasizes the importance of written requests, consent, and conducting initial interviews in neutral public locations rather than the witness's home. The article also touches upon the ethical implications of documenting personal lives and the potential for amateur investigations to lead to 'gossipy, non-evidential UFO-ORG reports'.

Antique Telephone Verified

This section discusses a presentation by Michael Hesemann at the Omega UFO Conference regarding alien autopsy footage. Hesemann claimed that an antique telephone seen in the footage, previously considered an anachronism, was identified by AT&T experts as a model used in U.S. military installations during the 1940s. This suggests the footage might indeed be from that era. However, the article questions whether this verification proves the subject is an alien, raising the possibility of Axis experimentation during WWII as a source for 'alien' humanoids. The presence of embossed 'glyphs' on a metal bar is noted, but the lack of spoken language in the film makes it impossible to determine the language of the autopsy doctors. Hesemann's suggestion that President Harry Truman might have been involved is presented as a generic, rather than research-specific, perception.

6 Digit Possibilities

This part of the article explores a connection between the 'alien autopsy' film and ancient Native American paintings depicting beings with six fingers and toes. It references Zechariah Sitchin's talk at the New Science Forum, where he noted that ancient Middle Eastern and South American astronomical systems used multiples of 6 and 12, unlike the common decimal system based on 10. The author suggests that a species with six fingers and toes might have passed down complex computations to a five-digit species, leading to a misunderstanding of the original basis. The possibility of this concept being used by hoaxers for 'reverse engineering' is also mentioned.

Selective Discrepancy

This article examines the book 'NIGHT SIEGE' and its reporting on the Hudson Valley UFO Sightings. It questions why the book chose to focus on only one reporter, Andy Blum, who later wrote his own book, 'OUT THERE', when numerous reporters covered the events. The author notes that the NSA also sent a representative, and that J. Allen Hynek, associated with 'Project Blue Book', was supposedly the head of a government UFO investigation project. The article highlights that many sightings detailed in 'NIGHT SIEGE' remain unexplained, despite coverage by various media. It also discusses Dr. Hynek's conclusion that while some UFO incidents are unexplained by conventional science, they are not numerous and pose no threat to national security. Following Hynek's death, his collaborator Philip J. Imbrogno claimed Hynek requested that abduction reports be minimized in favor of less controversial light reports to maintain credibility.

Forbidden Species

This section delves into the potential dangers of consciousness research and its connection to unexplained phenomena. It references the New Science Forum in Denver, which explored theories ranging from ET-Ketamine connections to Minkowski timespace diagrams. The author expresses concern about the potential for 'darker hybrid consciousness' to be activated through misguided interspecies communication, leading individuals to become 'beasts'. The disappearance of psychologist Marcia Moore while experimenting with Ketamine is mentioned, along with the case of a dog-wolf escaping under a full moon. The article connects these events to the possibility of 'interdimensional forces' struggling and using human consciousness as pawns. It also touches upon the unusual effects observed with standard 400 asa color snapshot film, suggesting an 'Intelligence' signaling interdimensional power contingencies.

Journal Entry: September 26, 1996

A journal entry describes two anomalous photos taken in Chelsea, New York. The photos showed the same street view, but one was darker and lacked traffic lights and a bar entrance sign. A white light was present in both photos, distinct from streetlights. A figure of a man entering a bar appeared unusually diffuse, lacking a discernible head, though other details like a plastic shopping bag were visible. The eyes of the figure, when magnified, resembled those of ETs described by contactees. The bar sign featured an occult symbol of two superimposed squares forming an eight-pointed star.

A Misguided Missile Mentality

This article, submitted anonymously, discusses the history and challenges of mind-control research. It posits that psychics have always been used for secret advantage, but with the age of reason, their use became underground. The author outlines seven principles for successful mind-control programs: Unity, Paradox, Union, Manifestation and Absorption, Human Will, Chaos, and the Collective Human Spirit. The article highlights the difficulty in replicating mind-control effects and the potential for unintended consequences, citing a university experiment that went out of control. It also touches upon the concept of 'zero-point energy' and 'quantum electromagnetic potential' as unifying principles in physics and paranormal phenomena.

Unity

This section contrasts the linear perception of the conscious mind with the multi-faceted interaction of the unconscious mind, suggesting that high-level psychic energy operates at a non-local, subatomic level. It posits that reality is an interaction of vitality and substance, akin to the wave-particle duality paradox.

Paradox

This section discusses the dualistic nature of unity when viewed linearly. It describes the approach of psychic warfare project engineers who attempt to design cause-and-effect programs for a multidimensional reality. Ideal psychic candidates are described as having specific traits, with those who have spiritual guides being deemed 'suspect'. The article notes that 'bonded' or linked pairs in experiments produce twice the results of unbonded pairs, and that EM potential suggests transmutation and psychokinesis can be produced by two cerebral hemispheres.

Unspoken Boundaries

This section reflects on recent explorations into 'MIB' (Men in Black) manifestations, pushing the author's preconceptions about what is possible. The author describes an incident involving unusual effects on standard 400 asa color snapshot film, suggesting an 'Intelligence' signaling interdimensional power contingencies. The journal entry details two photos taken in Chelsea, New York, which showed anomalies, including a figure of a man without a head. The bar sign in the photo is noted for its occult symbol.

Forbidden Species (continued)

This section revisits the concept of 'forbidden species' and evolutionary theory. It discusses the coelacanth, a fish thought to be extinct for millennia but found alive in the 20th century. The author questions whether the coelacanth is a 'missing link' or simply a 'combination item' or hybrid. The article also references Theosophical literature about 'Lunar Monads' and suggests that 'bigfoot' and extraterrestrials might be manifestations of these ancient beings. The author notes the numerous instances of UFO researchers dying from brain tumors, cancers, and other illnesses, raising the possibility of a conspiracy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of Magick Mirror Magazine revolve around the investigation of anomalous phenomena, particularly UFOs and alleged extraterrestrial encounters. There is a strong emphasis on questioning official narratives, scrutinizing evidence, and exploring alternative explanations, including potential hoaxes and conspiracies. The magazine also touches upon the nature of consciousness, the potential dangers of advanced research, and the philosophical implications of evolution and ancient legends. The editorial stance, as articulated by E. Macer-Story, is critical of simplistic or amateurish investigative approaches and advocates for a more rigorous and professional examination of evidence, while remaining open to the possibility of phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding. The magazine appears to be a platform for exploring fringe topics and challenging established paradigms.

This document, dated 1996, presents information about 'THE MAGICK MIRROR WEB SITE', which was 'ACTUALLY ACTIVE UNCHANGED' in that year. It provides the web address http://www.best.com/~ezy/magick. The site's purpose was to serve as a public forum for collecting data on anomalous situations, supernatural occurrences, and UFO experiences.

Bughouse Square and Public Forum

The text describes Bughouse Square in Chicago, located near the Newbury Rare Book Library, as a public park where people could give speeches on any topic, provided they adhered to community standards. The document emphasizes the importance of such public forums in a free society, distinct from membership-restricted clubs and libraries.

Magick Mirror Web Site Operations

The Magick Mirror Web Site aimed to collect data on anomalous situations and supernatural occurrences, including UFO experiences. Participation was open to everyone, without requiring membership or a special code ID. The site operated similarly to poetry readings in New York's Greenwich Village, relying on voluntary donations and subscriptions to the print edition, 'MAGICK MIRROR MAGAZINE'. This magazine would feature data logged from the web site, along with other articles.
