NOUFA - No 29 - 2014

Magazine Overview

This issue of Noticiero Ufológico Autónomo, number 29-BD, dated August 30, 2014, is published by NOUFA. The magazine covers a range of topics related to unexplained phenomena, with a particular focus on alleged discoveries of small humanoids and ancient civilizations.

Editorial

The editorial, written by Raúl Núñez, acknowledges the publication's chaotic schedule due to life circumstances but reaffirms its commitment to providing engaging content for readers. Núñez notes that the magazine has received requests for more information on UFOs and older cases, including those that have been debunked. He states that the issue includes a mysterious death of American military figure James V. Forrestal and a legend from the Catalan Pyrenees concerning the 'Aztec Princess of Toloriu.' The editorial also introduces a section titled 'El mundo de los pequeños' (The World of the Small Ones), which will cover material related to the 'strange being of La Noria' and other similar phenomena. Núñez expresses a desire to delve into the world of literature with an academic touch, presenting a 'forastero' (outsider) who has contributed a piece. He reflects on the current state of unidentified phenomena, criticizing how it is treated and presented, and expresses concern that future generations may lack a solid understanding due to reliance on social media. He vows to continue speaking frankly and honestly through writing.

El Mundo de los Pequeños: The Makhunik Mummy

This section details the discovery of a small mummified body in the ancient Persian village of Makhunik, Iran, in August 2005. The body, measuring 25 centimeters, was found during illegal excavations near the historical fortress of Gudiz in Kerman province. Investigators reported that the remains belonged to a small human adolescent. The discovery fueled rumors of an ancient city of small people, with excavated architecture suggesting a city designed for diminutive inhabitants. The mummy was reportedly found after smugglers attempted to sell it for over three million dollars. Initial forensic analysis estimated the individual to be between 16 and 17 years old at death. However, later anthropological studies suggested the mummy was only about 400 years old and was actually a prematurely born baby preserved through natural mummification processes due to regional conditions and burial methods. The article notes that while the scientific evidence for a city of small people is lacking, the legend of small people persists globally, citing examples like the Mexican and Peruvian dwarf gods, the Hawaiian Menhune, the Cherokee Nunnehi, and African pygmies.

Lost History of the Small People

This article, referencing Dr. Susan Martínez's book 'The Lost History of Small People,' explores the idea of an ancient race of small-statured beings who once inhabited Earth. Martínez's research draws on legends and stories from various cultures, including dwarf gods, Menhune, Nunnehi, and African pygmies. She links these legends to discoveries of tiny tunnel networks, small coffins, and pygmy-sized huts, proposing that these beings existed thousands of years ago and their heritage is part of modern humanity. The article mentions that while Martínez's work faces skepticism, others find her ideas compelling, with Jack Churchward stating that small people are considered progenitors of civilization.

Small Humanoid Discovered in Iran

This section reports on a small humanoid, approximately 7 cm long, found in Iran in a fetal position. Limited information was received via email from an Iranian national named Hamid G., who described the creature as having a humanoid morphology with a disproportionately large head and stated it could not be frozen. The preservation was compared to ancient Egyptian mummies. The article also draws a parallel to the 'Atacama humanoid' discovered in Chile over 10 years prior, noting that while the Atacama specimen was upright, the Iranian one was curled up. The article speculates if they could be the same species and mentions that further information might be provided.

Did a City of Dwarfs Ever Exist?

This piece revisits the controversial reports of a 'Liliput' in ancient Iran, referencing Jonathan Swift's novel. It reiterates the discovery of the 25 cm mummy in Kerman province in 2005, which reignited theories of a dwarf population. The article mentions that the reduced size of structures found in the village of Majunik, some less than 90 cm high, are presented as evidence of small inhabitants. It also touches upon the 'Mummy of Discord,' referring to the 2005 Kerman find and the conflicting reports about its age and nature.

Living Legends

This section continues the discussion on the existence of small people, citing Dr. Susan Martínez's research on recurring legends worldwide. It mentions the Cherokee 'Yunwi-Tsunsdi,' Hawaiian 'Menehune,' and Shoshone 'Nin 'am-bea,' describing their characteristics and interactions with humans. A mummy found in the Pedro Mountains of Wyoming is also mentioned as potentially being the remains of an elf.

A Small People Burial in Ohio

An article from the American Journal of Science in 1837 is cited, reporting a discovery in Coshocton, Ohio. Remains of bodies, generally no more than one meter in height, were found in what appeared to be coffins. The report suggests a large number of these burials indicate a significant population, possibly a pygmy city, with similar cemeteries found in Tennessee and Missouri.

In Tibet

This section describes the Bayan Kara Ula mountains in Tibet, an isolated region inhabited by the 'Dropa' and 'Han' tribes, who are described as distinct from surrounding populations. The Dropa are characterized by their small stature (average adult height of 1.25 meters), large heads, near-baldness, large blue eyes, and Caucasian features, with an average adult weight of 50 kg. In 1938, Chinese archaeologists discovered cave tombs containing peculiar, small skeletons with large heads and delicate extremities.

The Discovery

In 1938, Professor Chi Pu Tei of Beijing University led an expedition into caves in the Bayan Kara Ula mountains. The caves turned out to be a complex system of artificial tunnels and chambers with square, crystallized walls. Within these caves, burial sites with small, slender skeletons with highly developed skulls were found. Initially thought to be an unknown primate species, this idea was dismissed upon finding the skeletons buried. The professor questioned how a primitive people could create such exact discs and microscopic writing.

The Discs

A significant discovery within the caves was a stone disc, approximately 22.7 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick, with a perfectly circular 2 cm hole in the center and a fine spiral groove leading outwards with written characters. This disc, dated between 10,000 and 12,000 years old, predates the Great Pyramids of Egypt. In total, 716 such discs were found, each with different characters. For 24 years, these discs were stored at Beijing University, with attempts to decipher the inscriptions proving unsuccessful. In 1962, Professor Tsum Um Nui took on the task, believing the spiral grooves represented an ancient, microscopic script. If confirmed, this would be the world's oldest known writing system.

The History

Professor Tsum Um Nui and his colleagues eventually deciphered part of the code, revealing an astonishing story. The discs reportedly tell the tale of a spaceship from a distant planet that made a forced landing in the Bayan Kara Ula mountains. The extraterrestrial occupants, the 'Dropas,' sought refuge in the caves. Despite their peaceful intentions, they were misunderstood by the local 'Ham' tribe, who attacked and killed many of them. Later, the Ham tribe understood the Dropas' peaceful intentions and allowed them to stay. The discs also recount the Dropas' inability to repair their spacecraft and their subsequent decision to remain on Earth.

Other 'Diminutive Beings' on the Panel

This section highlights an account from Major Raúl Gajardo Leopold regarding the discovery of a diminutive humanoid skeleton. Alex Alarcón Terán, a public works official, reported finding a tiny skeleton, about 6 cm in length, while working on a road construction project near Trintre, Chile, in December 2003. The skeleton had a disproportionately large, egg-shaped skull (1.5 cm) and a body measuring 4 cm, with large eye sockets, a noticeable indentation for a nose, and a disproportionately small mouth. The arms lacked hands and appeared to be single bones without elbows. The legs were described as two straight bones without knees or feet. The skeleton was completely devoid of flesh. The worker discarded it, assuming it was an animal, despite its human-like appearance.

Ancient Chronicles

This section reprints an excerpt from Fray Pedro Simón's 'Noticias historiales de las conquistas de Tierra Firme en las Indias Occidentales,' published in 1627. It recounts an expedition led by Captain Juan Alvares Maldonado from Cuzco towards the Andes in 1560. During this expedition, they encountered two pygmies, a male and a female, who were no taller than a cubit (estimated at 30-40 cm). The female attempted to flee but was wounded by a soldier and died. The male pygmy became deeply melancholic over his companion's death and, despite attempts to preserve him, died within six days.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the persistent presence of legends and alleged evidence of small humanoids and ancient diminutive civilizations across various cultures and time periods. The magazine explores both ancient myths and modern discoveries, such as mummies and artifacts, presenting them as potential clues to a hidden history. The editorial stance, as expressed by Raúl Núñez, is one of critical inquiry and a commitment to uncovering the truth behind unexplained phenomena, even when facing challenges and skepticism. There is a clear concern about the superficial understanding of these topics in the digital age and a call for a deeper, more grounded investigation into the origins of UFO phenomena.

This issue of NOUFA, the "NOTICIERO UFOLOGICO ATONOMO" (Ufological Autonomous Newsletter), published in Barcelona, Spain, delves into a variety of intriguing and often conspiratorial topics. The cover story, "Localizado un diminuto ser" (A tiny being located), reports on the discovery of a small, anthropomorphic creature in Israel. The magazine also explores historical mysteries, such as the legend of a treasure hidden by an Aztec princess in Spain, and discusses contemporary conspiracy theories surrounding media manipulation, political events, and alleged clandestine operations.

The Tiny Being of Israel

The issue begins with a report from Tel Aviv about the discovery of a diminutive, anthropomorphic being, approximately twelve centimeters tall, found in the northern Israeli locality of Moshav Karen Ben on November 7th. The creature, described as having dark, elastic skin, well-formed head, two legs, and two arms with underdeveloped fingers, was found dead. The discovery has generated significant debate, and the Israeli police department has reportedly requested assistance from specialists to investigate the enigma.

The Catalan Secret of Moctezuma

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the story of Xipaguazin Moctezuma, daughter of the Aztec emperor Moctezuma, who married Don Juan Grau, Baron of Toloriu, a small village in the Catalan Pyrenees. The article recounts how she allegedly buried a treasure there, which has been sought for centuries. The narrative traces her journey to Spain, her marriage, her death in 1537, and the subsequent legacy of her descendants. The story is intertwined with tales of treasure hunting, historical speculation, and the dubious claims of descendants seeking recognition and financial compensation based on their lineage. The article mentions a plaque in Toloriu commemorating Xipaguazin and the involvement of various individuals and groups, including "Caballeros de la orden de la corona azteca de Francia" and a figure named Chevalier L. Vidal Pradal de Mir, who is linked to SMI príncipe Guillermo III de Grau-Moctezuma. This latter figure is described as having sold noble titles and decorations related to the Aztec crown in the 1960s. The article also touches upon the historical context of the Aztec empire, the Spanish conquest, and the complex lineage of Moctezuma's descendants, some of whom have sought to reclaim pensions and lands from the Mexican government.

Historical Context and Descendants

The article details the life of Xipaguazin in the medieval village of Toloriu, contrasting it with her previous life in the Aztec court. It notes the disappearance of her tomb and the looting of her belongings in 1936. The narrative also follows the descendants of Moctezuma, including Diego Luis, who lived in Granada, and his son Pedro Tesifón de Moctezuma y la Cueva, who held various titles. The issue highlights the ongoing claims by descendants for a "Moctezuma pension" that was discontinued in 1934. It also mentions the lengthy and complex names of contemporary descendants, illustrating the effort to maintain their connection to the lineage. The article further discusses the activities of Guillermo III de Grau-Moctezuma, who presented himself as an heir to the Aztec empire and a grand master of the Templars, selling fraudulent titles and decorations. His activities eventually led to accusations of selling false noble titles, prompting him to flee to Andorra.

Science, Biometrics, Cancer, and Conspiracy Theories

Another section of the magazine, titled "CIENCIA, BIOMETRICA, CANCER Y OTRAS TEORIAS DE LA CONSPIRACION" (Science, Biometrics, Cancer, and Other Conspiracy Theories), addresses the perceived manipulation of public opinion by the media. It laments how suspicions about certain events are often ridiculed, but asserts that truth eventually prevails. The article references the death of a Commander in Venezuela and the Vice-President's suggestion that President Chávez's illness might not have been natural. It recommends the book "Dr. Mary's Monkey" by Ed Harlam for those skeptical about the potential for science to manipulate and induce cancer. The author posits that the world is facing a "great conspiracy" rather than mere conspiracy theories, citing the Wikileaks incident where the US State Department allegedly sought biometric data of Ban Ki-moon and other politicians. The article questions the motives behind such data collection and suggests that modern societies use more subtle methods than spectacular attacks to neutralize inconvenient figures, such as discrediting them through the media or orchestrating "accidents" or "grave illnesses." It lists several progressive Latin American presidents who have suffered from or died of serious illnesses, including Hugo Chávez, as potential examples.

Questions for Reflection

The author poses three key questions to the reader: Who would benefit from the disappearance of these leaders? What power structures possess the technology and financial infrastructure for such actions? And who has the power to carry out such atrocities with impunity? The section concludes by suggesting that a reevaluation of our perspectives is needed to confront a reality that increasingly resembles science fiction.

Ufological Humor

The issue includes a section with "HUMOR UFOLOGICO" (Ufological Humor), featuring a cartoon with a humorous take on extraterrestrial themes. The cartoon depicts aliens questioning why humans, after believing themselves superior, are now facing problems.

El Forastero (The Outsider)

The final section presents a short story titled "El Forastero" by Benedicto Cerdà. It describes a mysterious man entering a small-town store and engaging in a peculiar, somewhat nonsensical conversation with the cashier, hinting at his unusual nature and perhaps his detachment from conventional reality.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of NOUFA consistently explores themes of mystery, hidden histories, and conspiracy. The editorial stance appears to favor questioning official narratives and investigating phenomena that lie outside mainstream understanding, whether they be ancient legends, alleged extraterrestrial encounters, or suspected political machinations. The publication aims to provide a platform for alternative perspectives, encouraging critical thinking and a willingness to explore unconventional ideas, as indicated by its motto: "Sin ataduras ni conexiones oficialistas. Libre de pensamiento y acción" (Without ties or official connections. Free of thought and action).

This issue of 'Mas Tuneles' (More Tunnels), published as issue 26 of volume 26, dated 2006, by La Discusión from Chile, delves into two primary, interconnected themes: the mysterious underground tunnel systems in Chilean cities and the controversial death of former US Secretary of Defense James V. Forrestal, with potential links to UFOs and government conspiracy.

Underground Tunnels in Chile

The magazine explores the legend of subterranean passages beneath Santiago, Chile, with articles detailing their potential origins, dating back to pre-Hispanic times or linked to religious orders like the Jesuits and Augustinians. The article "EL MISTERIO DE LOS SUBTERRÁNEOS PERDIDOS BAJO SANTIAGO DE CHILE" (The Mystery of the Lost Subterranean Passages Beneath Santiago, Chile) discusses historical accounts of tunnels used for secret communication between convents and their possible connection to confiscated Jesuit properties after their expulsion in 1787. It mentions specific locations like the Church of the Company of Jesus and the former Augustinian convent.

Another section, "MAS TUNELES EN CONCEPCION" (More Tunnels in Concepción), reports on the discovery of a tunnel during remodeling work in Chillán, Chile. While initially speculated to connect the Chillán Cathedral with the Las Carmelitas Church, historian Marcos Reyes suggests it might be a water duct from the early 19th century. The article also touches upon legends of tunnels in Concepción, some allegedly used for secret meetings or defense, and a particularly grim story about a tunnel connecting a boys' school with a girls' school, or a connection between a college and a church used for illicit encounters.

The Case of James V. Forrestal

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the mysterious death of James V. Forrestal, former US Secretary of Defense, under the title "LA CAÍDA DE FORRESTAL: ¿SALTÓ O LO EMPUJARON?" (Forrestal's Fall: Did He Jump or Was He Pushed?) by Dennis Stacy. The article posits that Forrestal, a key figure in the MJ-12 documents, died on May 22, 1949, after allegedly jumping from the 16th floor of the Naval Hospital Bethesda. It details his deteriorating mental state, characterized by paranoia, fear of being followed by the FBI, and anxieties about communist and Jewish agents.

Forrestal's opposition to the creation of an independent state in Palestine is highlighted as a significant factor in his downfall. His role in the development of the US military, particularly his concerns about the creation of the Secretary of Defense position potentially diminishing the Navy's power, is also discussed. The article recounts his forced resignation and subsequent admission to the hospital, where he expressed fears of betrayal and persecution.

Conspiracy Theories and UFO Connections

The magazine links Forrestal's case to broader conspiracy theories, including the "Men in Black" phenomenon. An anecdote describes Forrestal's encounter with suspicious individuals outside his home, which Ferdinand Eberstadt, a friend, witnessed. This incident is presented as part of a pattern of harassment designed to destabilize Forrestal.

The article "SON LLAMADOS LOS PSIQUIATRAS" (They Are Called the Psychiatrists) details Forrestal's treatment and his profound depression, with symptoms of anxiety, paranoia, and a sense of failure. His confession to Robert Lovett, "He hecho algo malo" (I have done something wrong), and his statement, "¡Pobre gente! ¡No se dan cuenta de que he traicionado a mi patria!" (Poor people! They don't realize I have betrayed my country!), underscore his mental anguish.

Crucially, the article suggests Forrestal's death might be connected to his knowledge of UFOs. It mentions that he "knew too many things about UFOs" and that the Roswell crash occurred shortly before he became Secretary of Defense. The possibility that his death was orchestrated due to his awareness of sensitive information, possibly related to extraterrestrial matters, is strongly implied. The involvement of Admiral Sydney Souers, a member of MJ-12, in investigating listening devices in Forrestal's hospital room further fuels these suspicions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently weaves together themes of hidden histories, secret societies, government cover-ups, and unexplained phenomena. The editorial stance appears to favor exploring these less conventional narratives, presenting anecdotal evidence and historical accounts that support conspiracy theories, particularly concerning the Forrestal case and the mysterious tunnels. The magazine encourages readers to question official narratives and consider alternative explanations for historical events and unexplained occurrences.

This issue of Flying Saucer Review en español, identified as Nº 2 (Vol. 41 N° 3) from its original Spanish edition, delves into two significant cases from the mid-20th century: the suspicious death of James Forrestal and the abduction of Próspera Muñoz. The magazine explores themes of government secrecy, UFO phenomena, and the psychological impact of extraordinary experiences.

The Forrestal Case: Suicide or Conspiracy?

The issue dedicates considerable attention to the death of James Forrestal, the former US Secretary of Defense, who died on May 22, 1949. The official explanation points to suicide due to depression, a narrative supported by his psychiatrist, Raines, and the circumstances of his fall from the 16th floor of the National Naval Medical Center. However, the magazine presents several points that cast doubt on this conclusion. Forrestal's brother, Henry, expressed concern about his mental state and desire for fresh air, suggesting he was not suicidal. The security measures around Forrestal, including the alleged search for microphones, hint at a high level of paranoia or external surveillance. The narrative questions why Forrestal was placed on the 16th floor when other facilities were available, and the coincidence of a guard being drunk and replaced by an inexperienced one on the night of his death.

Three interpretations of Forrestal's fall are offered: 1) He was genuinely suicidal and took advantage of an opportunity. 2) The government, fearing his unreliability, orchestrated a 'suicide' or mental crisis as a way out. 3) Conspiracy theorists believe 'they' actively pushed him to his death.

The article highlights Forrestal's role in Operation Ruiseñor, a CIA-backed anti-communist operation involving Ukrainian refugees, some of whom had Nazi ties and committed war crimes. This context is raised as a possible reason for Forrestal's statement about having betrayed his country.

The Próspera Muñoz Abduction Case

Another major focus is the case of Próspera Muñoz, an alleged UFO abduction that occurred in Jumilla, Spain, in 1947. Próspera, then 7 years old, and her 11-year-old sister Ana, reported seeing a disc-shaped object land near their home. Two beings, described as short, slender, with thin faces and large, elongated eyes, emerged and entered their house. They conversed with the girls, asking for water and showing interest in a wall calendar marking the phases of the moon.

Following this encounter, Próspera was taken aboard a UFO. Inside, she was shown scenes of her family, seemingly recorded by the craft's occupants. She was placed on a table, and medical analyses were performed, culminating in a surgical procedure where a 'micro capsule' was inserted at the base of her neck. This experience, lasting about three to four hours, was followed by a period of lost memory, with Próspera only beginning to recall details about thirty years later, a fact confirmed by her sister Ana in 1980.

The article notes that the visitors had warned Próspera she would not remember the event until at least thirty years had passed. The case is presented as a significant one in ufology, with investigator Antonio Ribera featuring it in his work. The location of the incident, a small country house, was later demolished.

Ufology and Personal Evolution

Rubén Hernández contributes a section on 'SECTOR DE OPINIONES' (Sector of Opinions), discussing recent ufological events and debates. He touches upon the proliferation of UFO-related gatherings and the tendency for them to lack new information, often relying on recycled internet material. He also addresses skepticism towards ufology, noting an upcoming encounter in Santiago, Chile.

Hernández reflects on the nature of UFO experiences, particularly abductions. He distinguishes between 'contactees,' who often report receiving messages from extraterrestrials, and 'abductees,' whose experiences are typically more dramatic and involve examination. However, he suggests that the lines between these categories are blurring, with some contactees reporting surgical procedures and implants, and abductees claiming to have received missions.

Próspera Muñoz herself shares her perspective on her abduction experience, emphasizing that it led to an 'evolution' rather than a sudden 'change' in her personality. She highlights how her experience, initially difficult to comprehend, was later understood through her research and interactions with other investigators, particularly Antonio Ribera. She believes that extraterrestrials stimulate human evolution through creativity and that the concept of 'chosen ones' or messianic missions imposed by aliens is disrespectful to free will.

Bibliographical and Case Reviews

The issue includes a review of the book "El Análisis" by Ricardo Izaguirre S., described as a 'heretical' commentary on the Bible. The review praises the author's deep knowledge of history, myth, and religion, and his logical, albeit challenging, approach to biblical narratives, suggesting it fundamentally alters one's perception of God, the Bible, and religion.

Another section revisits the Próspera Muñoz case, with Raúl Núñez providing context and personal reflections on his investigation. He explains his initial hesitation to investigate friends but ultimately includes the case due to its significance and Próspera's consistent testimony. He notes that the location of the events has since been demolished.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs and alleged alien encounters, with broader societal and governmental issues. There's a recurring theme of questioning official narratives, especially in cases involving death or unexplained events, suggesting potential cover-ups or conspiracies. The personal impact of these experiences on witnesses, like Próspera Muñoz, is also a central focus, highlighting the psychological and evolutionary aspects of alleged contact and abduction. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, presenting various theories and witness accounts while encouraging readers to form their own conclusions, particularly regarding the Forrestal case and the nature of UFO phenomena.

Title: En el túnel del Tiempo
Issue: 41
Date: August 25, 1985
Publisher: Planeta
Country: Chile

This issue of "En el túnel del Tiempo" delves into various aspects of ufology and paranormal phenomena, featuring a prominent article on an astronomer's UFO sightings and exploring the psychological and cultural dimensions of alien contact and abductions.

The Astronomer's Encounters

The lead story, "Astrónomo de cerro Calán ha visto OVNIS tres veces" (Astronomer from Cerro Calán has seen UFOs three times), features Fernando Noel, an astronomer from Cerro Calán, who recounts three distinct sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (OVNIs) in Santiago. Noel describes these encounters as varied: one involved a "bandada de objetos luminosos" (flock of luminous objects), another a "cuerpo luminoso intermitente" (intermittent luminous body) observed during the day, and a third a "cuerpo oscuro suspendido en el aire" (dark body suspended in the air) also seen in daylight. While acknowledging the reality of these sightings, Noel maintains a cautious stance, stating that he cannot definitively deduce them to be manifestations of intelligence or technological artifacts, nor can he deny it. He clarifies that the term OVNI simply means an Unidentified Flying Object and does not inherently imply extraterrestrial intelligence. Noel suggests that many phenomena initially classified as OVNIs are later explained, citing the example of the "picarón" (ring-shaped) phenomenon caused by the launch of Soviet Cosmos satellites, which creates a nebulous, triangular formation of gases.

Abduction and Contact: A Dual Nature

The magazine explores the evolution of the "abduction" phenomenon into "contact" experiences. It notes that over 12% of abductees describe various types of occupants within UFOs. While some accounts feature aggressive, tall, blond captors and benevolent, small-headed "cosmic brothers," the article suggests a common pattern where abductees, after experiencing a supposed violent abduction, later engage in post-rapture contact episodes. This is likened to a "cosmic Stockholm syndrome," where the abductee begins to feel like a "chosen one," often experiencing a "change of consciousness" or a transformed worldview. The article posits that abduction and contact are two sides of the same coin, with ufologists often tending to interpret the phenomenon in ways that fit their preconceived notions, either viewing ETs as "new angels" or "new demons."

Historical Roots of Abduction Myths

The issue highlights that the myth of being taken or abducted by other entities is ancient and present across various cultures, citing examples like witch covens, the Santa Compaña of Galicia, the Magonia of fairies, Haitian Zobop, "shamanic flights," and the biblical rapture of Elijah. However, it cautions against directly equating these historical episodes with modern UFO abductions, as each tradition arises from a specific cultural, chronological, and social context, employing different archetypes. The article notes that medieval incubi and succubi, while perhaps sharing an essence, are not identical to modern "bedroom visitors."

Despite the numerous "proofs" presented by abductees (photos, films, footprints, recordings, alleged implants, witness testimonies), the article emphasizes that only the abductees can truly comprehend the ineffable experience of being inside a UFO, and their testimony is crucial for understanding the nature and origin of their personal experiences.

Expert Opinions and Investigations

Willy Wolf, an investigator, states that most experts analyzing UFO problems worldwide agree that OVNIs are extraterrestrial objects from other galaxies. He adds that these phenomena are often linked to unexplained optical and electromagnetic events, such as vehicles inexplicably accelerating or hovering, with luminous objects nearby. Wolf believes that a direct communication between humans and extraterrestrials is unlikely due to differences in language and developmental stages.

Andrés Rojas Murphy, an actor and science fiction enthusiast, is convinced that objects sent by extraterrestrial intelligences exist and that humanity is not alone in the universe. He notes a shift in the scientific community's attitude towards UFOs, moving from outright rejection to a more flexible and open stance.

Reader Contributions and Tributes

The "Cartas de Nuestros Lectores" (Letters from Our Readers) section addresses various inquiries, including why the magazine doesn't cover haunted houses or ghosts, recommending writer César Parra for such topics. It also discusses the diverse interests of collaborators, like Sergio Alcayaga, who writes about religious processions, witchcraft in Chiloé, and extraterrestrial islands. The magazine expresses its intention to publish works by Salvador Freixedo, acknowledging his prescient writings. The availability of a book titled "El libro de ser extraño encontrado en La Noria" (The book of the strange found in La Noria) is discussed, with limited copies available in Chile.

A special tribute is paid to Carlos Muñoz Brito, described as an "estudioso del fenómeno OVNI" (student of the OVNI phenomenon) rather than a mere "ufólogo." His cordial relationship with IIEE and his role as director of NOUFA are highlighted. The tribute recalls his diplomatic nature, collaborative spirit, and passionate belief in his work, mentioning his involvement in ufological talks and his contributions to articles on mysterious disappearances, including the case of Lieutenant Bello. He also assisted with an IEA case involving the chupacabras and the strange death of chickens. The tribute concludes by expressing respect for his realistic approach and humility.

Collaborators and Contents

The issue lists numerous collaborators, including Rubén Hernández, Willy Pine, Raúl Gajardo Leopold, and many others. The table of contents reveals a diverse range of articles, such as "El Mundo de los Pequeños" (The World of the Little Ones), "El Secreto Catalán de Moctezuma" (The Catalan Secret of Moctezuma), "Ciencia, Biométrica, Cáncer y Otras Teorías de la Conspiración – Humor Ufológico" (Science, Biometrics, Cancer and Other Conspiracy Theories – Ufological Humor), "El Misterio de los Subterráneos Perdidos Bajo Santiago de Chile" (The Mystery of the Lost Subterraneans Beneath Santiago, Chile), and "El Caso de Próspera Muñoz" (The Case of Próspera Muñoz). The issue also includes photographs of alleged chupacabras footprints.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained phenomena, UFO sightings, and theories of extraterrestrial intelligence. There's a recurring theme of historical parallels to modern abduction narratives, suggesting a deep-rooted human fascination with encounters with the unknown. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various viewpoints and evidence while maintaining a degree of critical analysis, particularly regarding the definitive proof of extraterrestrial intelligence behind UFOs. The magazine encourages reader participation and acknowledges the subjective nature of many reported experiences, emphasizing the importance of witness testimony.
