Contents

The issue features a wide range of articles and reviews on UFOs and paranormal phenomena:

• UFO Detection by Nigel Brockwell: This article explores the challenges of investigating UFOs electronically and cheaply. It details various potential detection methods, including monitoring bright lights, sounds (audible, ultrasonic, infrasonic), speed, magnetic fields, radiation, temperature changes, electrical effects, and even smells. Brockwell shares his own brief UFO sighting experience near Bedford in the 1970s and discusses the equipment that could be used, such as LDR sensors, EMF meters, and modified compasses. He also touches upon the possibility of UFOs accelerating to near light speeds and the detection of unique odours associated with them.
• Malcolm Robinson Presents: UFO's Over Loch Ness: Robinson shares his personal interest in the Loch Ness Monster and his own 'possible' UFO sighting. He recounts a family holiday in 1968 to Loch Ness, where he was captivated by stories of 'Nessie' and the mysterious nature of the loch. He describes the vastness of Loch Ness and its historical reputation, mentioning the legend of St Columba.
• Messiah's of The New Age, by Brian Allan: This article is titled 'EGO Chasers or Messiahs?' (details not provided in the scan).
• Outer Limits Magazine 1st Conference to celebrate 70years of the Modern UFO Era: This section features the speakers for the upcoming conference.
• The Medium Experiment : By Paul Sinclair: A visit to 'Dark Wood' and Bempton to assess an area of high strangeness and its impact on Spiritualist mediums.
• Philip Mantle returns to the Rosalind Russel abduction case: This article also revisits the unexplained radar sighting by Wing Commander Alan Turner MBE from the summer of 1971.
• If Roswell Happened Today by Nick Pope: Pope addresses the question of what the Ministry of Defence (MoD) would do if a UFO crashed or landed in the UK, exploring potential plans, involved parties, and the possibility of a government cover-up.

• EXCLUSIVE Nigel Mortimer explains his reasons behind the NEW UFOLOGY CONFERENCE UK 9/11 Sightings... (send us your sightings)

UFO Detection Equipment

Nigel Brockwell details various electronic equipment that can be used for UFO detection:

• Moving Light Detector: Uses two light sensors (LDRs) to detect moving lights. An imbalance triggers an alarm. It can be affected by light pollution and requires an open space with a clear view of the sky.
• Sound Detectors: Can pick up audible sounds, but ultrasonic and infrasonic detection are more challenging and expensive.
• Speed Detection: Difficult to detect electrically unless the UFO produces a sonic bang.
• Magnetic Field Detection: Uses EMF detectors or modified compasses to monitor changes in the magnetic field, potentially caused by UFO propulsion.
• Radiation Detection: Monitors for high levels of microwaves, which could indicate a UFO landing nearby. Ex-military equipment is suggested for UK residents.
• Temperature Changes: Monitors temperature fluctuations, possibly caused by UFO propulsion or atmospheric stimulation.
• Electrical Equipment Failure: Reports of UFOs causing electronic failures are noted, but difficult to monitor proactively. A battery-operated mains power failure alarm is suggested.
• Smell: While not electronically detectable, early surveys noted peculiar odours associated with UFO sightings, often compared to sulphur dioxide, benzene, or ozone.

Brockwell concludes that using every piece of electronic equipment possible is key to UFO detection, similar to ghost hunting. He shares a personal anecdote about a white spot observed on a photograph of a public house roof in Bedfordshire, an area known for UFO sightings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFO phenomena, paranormal investigations, and related conferences. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, encouraging reader participation and the sharing of experiences. There is a strong emphasis on the history of UFO sightings and the modern UFO era, as highlighted by the 70th-anniversary theme. The magazine also promotes events and memorabilia related to significant UFO cases, such as the Travis Walton abduction.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, dated September 9, 2017, is titled '1947 70 Years Of The Modern UFO Era' and features guest speakers Malcolm Robinson, Philip Mantle, and Russ Callaghan for an event on that date in Hull, UK. The magazine explores the historical development and current state of UFO phenomena and related belief systems.

Personal Encounters and Sightings

The issue begins with personal anecdotes of experiences at Loch Ness. The author recounts an early childhood hope of seeing the Loch Ness Monster, which later evolved into a desire to investigate such phenomena. A significant personal experience detailed is a UFO sighting in 1982 at Loch Ness, where the author witnessed a pulsating, dome-shaped white light moving up and down behind a hill. Another account comes from William Jobes, who, during a visit to the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau (LNIB) camp in 1971, witnessed a large, bright, round sphere with a blue halo appear over the loch before vanishing.

The Evolution of Ufology and Belief Systems

Brian Allan's article, 'Messiah's Of The New Age', delves into the transformation of Ufology from a subject of scientific inquiry to a belief system akin to religion. Allan argues that Ufology, like religion, relies heavily on faith, with no quantifiable proof for its core tenets. He notes the decline in reports of classic UFO encounters, such as alien abductions and crashed spacecraft, suggesting a shift in the phenomenon's presentation.

The article discusses prominent figures in Ufology, including Budd Hopkins, known for his work on alien abductions, and Linda Moulton-Howe, who investigated cattle mutilations. It also touches upon the debate surrounding alleged alien-induced wounds versus natural explanations.

Allan posits that the UFO phenomenon has effectively ceased to be a 'Great UFO Flap' and now consists of retellings and reinterpretations of past cases. He highlights individuals who became experts and public figures in the field, such as Stanton Friedman, Jenny Randles, Timothy Good, Nick Redfern, and Nick Pope.

Ufology as a Substitute for Religion

The magazine draws parallels between Ufology and established religions, suggesting that UFO beliefs can offer a new spirituality and a substitute for traditional faith, particularly for those seeking an anchor in uncertain times like the Cold War era. It mentions how some fundamentalist Christian groups view UFOs as instruments of Satan.

Contactees and Early Ufology

The article profiles early Ufology figures, referred to as 'the church elders', including 'Professor' George Adamski, 'Dr' George King, George Van Tassel, Earnest and Ruth Norman, and Eduard Albert (Billy) Meier. These individuals claimed telepathic contact with 'Space People' and founded organizations like 'The Aetherius Society' and 'The Unarians', which promoted spiritual concepts rather than conventional science.

George Adamski's claims are questioned, with suggestions that his accounts were a ploy for financial gain, particularly referencing his involvement with sacramental wine during prohibition. George Van Tassel is noted for creating the 'Giant Rock Spacecraft Convention' and the 'Integration' building.

New Age Movements and Cults

The issue examines how these Ufology-based groups created substitute religions, often based on channelled messages from 'Ascended Masters' or 'Space Brothers'. It notes similarities with conventional religious systems and concepts like 'Theosophical Society'.

However, the article also points to the darker side of these movements, citing the 'Heavens Gate' cult led by Marshall Herf Applewhite, whose followers committed mass suicide, believing they would be transported to a spacecraft.

More recent manifestations include 'The Raelians', who present themselves as a messianic figure and intermediaries with 'Space People'. The article also mentions the group 'Clonaid', founded by the Raelians for human cloning research.

The Appeal of UFO Beliefs

The magazine suggests that the universal appeal of these groups stems from fulfilling a need for security, belonging, and answers for individuals experiencing inadequacy, loneliness, or uncertainty. It posits that society's inequalities and distrust have created fertile ground for such unconventional ideas, which offer certainty in troubled times.

Conclusion and References

The article concludes that while UFO beliefs may not be harmful, they rely on faith, similar to religion. It notes that any evidence contradicting these beliefs is often incorporated into the 'plot' by believers, making them irrefutable to adherents. The issue also lists references for further reading on extra-terrestrial encounters.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the intersection of UFO phenomena with religion and spirituality, the historical development of Ufology, personal accounts of sightings, and the psychological and sociological reasons for belief in unconventional ideas. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical examination, acknowledging the sincerity of many believers while also pointing out the lack of verifiable evidence and the potential for exploitation within these belief systems. The magazine aims to explore the paranormal and unexplained with a degree of skepticism and reasoned analysis.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, dated September 2017, announces its 70th Anniversary Conference, celebrating the 70th anniversary of Kenneth Arnold's seminal 1947 UFO sighting. The conference, to be held in Kingston upon Hull on September 9, 2017, aims to bring together relevant and informed speakers on the subject of UFOs and the paranormal at an affordable price.

Conference Speakers

The cover and internal pages highlight the speakers for the conference:

Keynote Speaker: Phillip Mantle

Phillip Mantle is presented as the UK's foremost UFO researcher, with years of experience and involvement in cases like the 1990s Roswell Autopsy film footage. He is expected to share his experiences, and this may be his last conference appearance.

Malcolm Robinson

Malcolm Robinson, Associate Editor of Outer Limits Magazine, is also a speaker. He has been involved with paranormal phenomena since 1979, founding SPI Scotland and SPI England. His investigations include UFOs, Ghosts, and Nessie, and he has even visited the depths of Loch Ness in a submarine. He is known for captivating his audience with his knowledge and experience.

Russ Callaghan

Russ Callaghan's involvement in the subject is noted, with his work alongside Philip Mantle in developing UFO DATA Magazine and his knowledge of UFO phenomena and footage investigation.

Paul Sinclair

Paul Sinclair, an author and investigator of paranormal phenomena in North and East Yorkshire, is featured. He has been investigating strange phenomena since 2002 and authored the book 'Truth-Proof,' a collection of local UFO activity, missing people, and anomalous phenomena accounts. He is described as a thorough investigator who seeks documented evidence.

Mike Covell

Mike Covell is a local historian specializing in the paranormal, whose interest began after seeing a UFO as a child. He has collected extensive documentation on the unexplained and has been featured in various media outlets. He has published ten books and writes regular features for the Hull Daily Mail.

The Medium Experiment

Paul Sinclair details an experiment he conducted involving spiritual mediums Janet and Karl to investigate the influence of locations on human emotion. He took them to a woodland area he calls 'Dark Wood' at Danes Dyke and later to the cliffs near RAF Bempton.

Dark Wood Investigation

Upon entering Dark Wood, Janet, a spiritual medium, immediately felt unease and described sensing people in pain and an image of a 'Catherine wheel,' suggesting a dark and sinister presence. Chris Evers, Joint Editor of the magazine, also reported feeling uneasy and sensing human sacrifice had taken place. Sinclair notes that while he cannot definitively prove the phenomena, he believes something real and beyond current understanding is occurring.

RAF Bempton Investigation

At RAF Bempton, Janet and Karl also experienced unease. Karl became dizzy and expressed a strong aversion to the place. Janet, using a crystal, asked questions about missing people and whether those who vanished were happy, receiving ambiguous answers. They also witnessed a solid bar of white light appear and disappear in the doorway of a disused RAF building.

Sinclair reflects on the experience, noting that while many UFO researchers might dismiss the use of mediums, he believes it offers another avenue for investigation.

The Alien Abduction Account of Rosalind Reynolds

Philip Mantle recounts the case of Rosalind Reynolds, who in September 1982, experienced an encounter with a UFO while driving with her boyfriend, Philip. The object, described as a multi-coloured, orange and red object, swooped low over their car, causing a peculiar smell and plunging the vehicle into darkness as its engine and electrics cut out.

The Encounter and Aftermath

After the car mysteriously restarted, they discovered they had lost approximately two and a half hours. The encounter had significant after-effects on both Rosalind and Philip, leading to their breakup. Rosalind experienced dramatic weight loss and developed a craving for sweets. She also began writing complicated scientific papers and was desperate to understand her missing time.

Hypnosis and Further Experiences

Rosalind sought answers through regressive hypnosis, which reportedly went disastrously wrong, with a bright beam of light entering the room, video recording being wiped, and clocks stopping. During a subsequent hypnosis session arranged by her future husband, Mark Reynolds-Parnham, Rosalind recalled being approached by alien beings and taken to an examination room, where she underwent a procedure she believes was gynecological. She reports ongoing issues, including irregular menstruation, a buzzing in her head, and an unexplained scar, and believes she may have had other UFO encounters.

Statement from Malcolm Robinson and Kevin Goodman

Malcolm Robinson and Kevin Goodman have established a Facebook site to provide a platform for UK-based UFO and paranormal researchers to showcase their lectures. The site, 'One Stop Shop Site,' aims to connect speakers with clubs and societies looking for guest speakers. They are seeking details about lecture subjects, duration, equipment used, fees, and speakers' CVs. The site also provides links to their Facebook group and UFO sighting resources.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the ongoing relevance of UFO research and investigation, particularly through the lens of the 70th anniversary of Kenneth Arnold's sighting. The magazine promotes a multi-faceted approach to understanding the unexplained, incorporating traditional research methods with more unconventional approaches like mediumship, as demonstrated by Paul Sinclair's experiment. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and inclusive, encouraging the exploration of various theories and possibilities within the UFO and paranormal fields, as evidenced by the call for speakers covering a wide range of mysterious subjects. The inclusion of personal accounts, such as Rosalind Reynolds' abduction case, highlights the human impact of these phenomena. The magazine also actively promotes its own community and resources, such as the conference and the speaker platform, underscoring a commitment to advancing the field of paranormal investigation in the UK.

This issue of 'TRUTH Publication Review PROOF' features a range of articles related to UFOs and unexplained phenomena, with a focus on personal experiences, official reports, and investigative reviews. The cover story, "If Roswell Happened TODAY (part 1)" by Nick Pope, sets a speculative tone for the magazine's content.

Rosalind's Experience: Going Public

The issue begins with an interview with Rosalind, an 'abductee' who went public with her experiences in the mid-1990s. She recounts the mixed reactions from friends and family, who initially joked or backed away. Public reaction was also challenging, with people jeering and whistling 'UFO' tunes. The media, while appearing sincere, often edited her interviews to sensationalize her story, focusing on the more outlandish aspects and including 'experts' who dismissed her claims. Rosalind found initial interactions with UFO clubs unhelpful, feeling like a spectacle rather than someone seeking answers. However, her experiences improved when she met researchers like Jenny Randles and Philip Mantle, who believed her and gave her the courage to seek her own answers. She reflects that regressive hypnosis can be damaging if not handled by a trained professional and recommends caution. Rosalind does not regret going public, believing it has helped others feel less alone, but laments the media's lack of sensitivity compared to reporting on other traumatic events. She feels her experience was real, evidenced by scars and medical history, and speculates about inter-dimensional or alien origins, questioning why she was chosen.

Alan Turner's RAF Sopley UFO-1971 Incident

Philip Mantle details an account from former RAF Wing Commander Alan Turner MBE regarding a UFO sighting at RAF Sopley in the summer of 1971. While on duty as the Duty Military Supervisor, Turner and other controllers observed multiple radar blips moving on a south-easterly track. These objects appeared on radar at approximately 3000 feet and climbed rapidly to over 60,000 feet within forty miles, a feat impossible for contemporary aircraft. The phenomenon was witnessed by four civil and six military controllers, and similar sightings were reported by Heathrow Radar and RAF Neatishead. Investigations into weather conditions and the possibility of 'angels' (ionized air pockets) were negative. Turner had a Canberra aircraft investigate, which reported a blip climbing rapidly on a reciprocal heading. The entire episode lasted over twenty minutes. Turner impounded R/T tapes and radar video film, and all witnesses were required to write reports. He was later interviewed by two unidentified men and instructed not to discuss the incident. Turner stands by his account, stating, "I know what I saw."

Nick Pope: If Roswell Happened TODAY

Nick Pope explores hypothetical scenarios for government response to genuine extra-terrestrial contact or a UFO crash in the UK. He outlines four broad categories: Alien Invasion, Benign First Contact, Finding a Signal, and UFO Crash. Pope notes that while there's no specific plan for a UFO crash, existing frameworks for disaster control, military aid to civil authorities (MACA), and aircraft crash procedures could be adapted. He highlights the potential for a biological hazard, drawing parallels to "The War of the Worlds," and the extreme consequences if such a threat could not be contained, potentially necessitating sterilization of the area. Pope also discusses the role of COBRA (Civil Contingencies Committee) and the Ministry of Defence in handling such an event, including media management and the possibility of a cover-up. He suggests that the study of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) is an area with much unknown information, referencing research by Paul Stonehill and Philip Mantle.

Review: 'The Truth That Leaves No Proof' by Paul Sinclair

Chris Evers reviews Paul Sinclair's first publication, "The Truth That Leaves No Proof," available on Kindle. The book covers "Events of High Strangeness" within a 30-mile radius of Bridlington, East Yorkshire. Sinclair investigates various phenomena, including intelligent lightforms seen off Flamborough Head, the history of the former RAF Bempton, disappearances of people in the area, unusual landings or craters, and sightings of wild cats. The review highlights Sinclair's thorough investigation, particularly regarding the loss of the RAF Tornado ZA610. While currently only available in e-book format, the reviewer anticipates a paperback release and commends Sinclair's work in uncovering local strange tales.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of personal experience, official investigation, and speculative analysis regarding UFO phenomena. There is a clear emphasis on validating witness accounts, even when faced with skepticism or media sensationalism. The magazine presents a range of perspectives, from abductee testimonies to military radar reports and theoretical government responses. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, encouraging readers to consider the possibility of unexplained phenomena while acknowledging the need for rigorous investigation and critical thinking. The inclusion of a book review and details about upcoming events (conference 2017) suggests an ongoing engagement with the UFO community and its research.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, identified as Issue 2, appears to be from around October 2016, based on event dates mentioned. The magazine covers a range of paranormal and historical mysteries, with a strong focus on UFOs and unexplained phenomena. The cover prominently features an alien face and promotes an article on the "Encounter in Rendlesham Forest," described as the world's best-documented UFO incident, with contributions from Nick Pope, John Burroughs, and Jim Penniston, all USAF veterans.

Another major feature explores the mystery of "Jack the Ripper," questioning his potential involvement with black magic, occult practices, and human sacrifice, as investigated by Hull author Mike Covell. The magazine also delves into the iconic Roswell incident, with an article by David Seals, whose family history is intertwined with the event. The issue also touches upon the controversial theories surrounding an underground alien base at Dulce, New Mexico, and features information about paranormal events and conferences.

Articles and Features

Encounter in Rendlesham Forest

This section focuses on the highly documented UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest. The article includes insights from Nick Pope, John Burroughs (USAF, Ret.), and Jim Penniston (USAF, Ret.), suggesting a significant and strange event occurred. Whitley Strieber, author of "Communion," is quoted as calling the book about the incident a clear light on the mystery.

Jack the Ripper: The Black Magic Myth

Authored by Mike Covell, this feature investigates the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. It poses questions about his potential links to Satanism, the occult, and human sacrifice, and whether he committed his wife's murder before the Whitechapel murders. The book is described as the author's 10th book.

Abduction at Roswell

Written by David Seals, this article delves into the Roswell incident, particularly from a personal and familial perspective. Seals' father, Lt. Walter J. Seals, was a pilot with the 509th Composite Bomb Group. The article recounts his father's experiences, including a "missing time" incident with his PT-19 trainer and a flight as co-pilot on a C-47 Gooney Bird where they observed a crash site with a "crumpled spaceship" and "satellite devices." The narrative also touches upon family history, including his parents' marriage in Roswell and his father's military service. The article mentions that "Abduction at Roswell" is available as a paperback or download and includes official USAF documents from his father.

The Strange Saga of Paul Bennewitz and the Underground "Alien" Base at Dulce

Authored by Sean Casteel, this piece examines the story of Paul Bennewitz and his claims regarding an underground alien base in Dulce, New Mexico. Bennewitz, a scientist living near Kirtland Air Force Base, began observing mysterious aerial activity in 1979. The article suggests he may have been manipulated by the government, possibly brainwashed into believing he was witnessing alien activity. It highlights Dulce as a location with a high percentage of UFO sightings per capita. The piece references Norio Hayakawa, an expert on the Dulce mysteries, and Christa Tilton, an alien abductee who corresponded with Bennewitz before his death in 2003. The article also mentions the book "Underground Alien Bio Lab At Dulce: The Bennewitz UFO Papers."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, alien encounters, government cover-ups, and unexplained historical events. There's a clear interest in documenting both well-known incidents like Rendlesham Forest and Roswell, as well as more localized or controversial theories like the Dulce base. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting evidence and personal accounts while acknowledging the complexities and sometimes speculative nature of the subjects. The inclusion of personal narratives, such as David Seals' family history connected to Roswell, adds a human element to the investigations. The magazine also promotes paranormal events and related media, indicating a commitment to engaging with the broader paranormal community.

This issue of the magazine focuses on the Scottish UFO & Paranormal Conference 2016, alongside articles delving into UFO research, alleged government cover-ups, and speculative theories about extraterrestrial life and genetic warfare. The conference, held at the University of Glasgow, featured a diverse range of speakers who presented their research and personal experiences.

The Dulce Underground Base and Disinformation

The issue details the controversial story surrounding Paul Bennewitz and the alleged underground alien-human base in Dulce, New Mexico. Thomas Costello, a former security guard at the facility, claims to have interacted with aliens and observed protocols. His interview, conducted by Bruce Walton (pseudonym Branton), is presented as a source of detailed information, though Costello's subsequent death by suicide is noted as questionable. Dr. Michael Salla's report attempts to analyze the Bennewitz/Dulce story using primary sources, questioning whether Bennewitz was an overzealous researcher or a genius who uncovered a joint U.S. government/ET base involved in human rights violations. The article highlights the alleged disinformation campaign by government agents like Richard Doty and William Moore, designed to discredit Bennewitz and distract him from his discoveries. The NSA's involvement in monitoring Bennewitz and potentially discrediting him by spreading wild stories about UFOs is also mentioned. The pattern of deception extended to fake air shafts installed in Dulce to mislead Bennewitz. Bennewitz's mental breakdown in 1988, attributed to stress and paranoia, is described, along with his claims about alien abductors inserting implants for mind control or tracking.

The "Firefight at Dulce"

An account of a supposed "Firefight at Dulce" in the 1980s is recounted, where extraterrestrials allegedly demonstrated their capabilities to scientists, leading to a situation where security guards, prohibited from carrying weapons, intervened. This resulted in a confrontation where aliens reportedly turned their weapons on the guards, causing casualties among both aliens and scientists.

UFOs and the Scottish Conference

The magazine extensively covers the Scottish UFO & Paranormal Conference 2016. James Welsh's report highlights the variety of speakers and topics, including Roland Watson's presentation on the Loch Ness Monster and Scottish myths, and Alyson Dunlop's talk on "Demons and Dark Places," which included the possession case of Anneliese Michel. Ron Halliday discussed the history of UFOs in Scottish airspace, referencing cases like the Bob Taylor Incident and the A70 Abduction. Malcolm Robinson spoke about poltergeist activity and the British Bigfoot Research Team's efforts. Charmaine Fraser shared her childhood encounter with a Bigfoot-type creature. Gordon Rutter explored the mythology surrounding mushrooms and Santa's reindeer. Larry Warren and Peter Robbins presented on the Bentwaters-Woodbridge UFO incident in Suffolk, described as a significant UK UFO event. The conference is lauded as a success, fostering knowledge exchange and forging friendships.

Books and Investigations

Several books are mentioned, including "Left at East Gate" by Larry Warren and Peter Robbins, an account of the Bentwaters-Woodbridge UFO incident. James Welsh's book, "Corroborating Evidence: The UFO Investigation of the Millennium," is also featured. Malcolm Robinson's book, "The Monsters of Loch Ness (The History and the Mystery)," is promoted, detailing his research into the Loch Ness Monster and its cultural significance.

Genetic Warfare and Interstellar Conflict

Derek Tyler's article, "Genetic Warfare," explores the concept of life's primary drive being DNA reproduction and the eternal struggle for genetic dominance. He posits that this genetic warfare extends beyond individual lives to encompass entire species and even interstellar races. Tyler suggests that extraterrestrials, like humans, are driven by the imperative to spread their DNA, leading to competition and potential conflict. He questions the motives of supposedly friendly ETs, suggesting they may have their own genetic interests at heart. The article argues that interstellar races engage in genetic warfare for resources and dominance, and that humanity might already be involved in this conflict, with the potential for losing if ETs prioritize their own interests.

UFO Pilots: Are They Human?

Diane Tessman investigates the origin of UFO occupants. While acknowledging extraterrestrial origins from within or outside the solar system, she proposes an intriguing possibility: that some UFO occupants might be "Future Humans" enhanced with artificial intelligence. She cites her childhood encounter where she was told, "We are from your future." The article addresses two main problems with this theory: humanity's current lack of advanced technology for time travel and the physical hardships of time travel. Tessman suggests that advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly quantum computing, could overcome these obstacles, enabling time travel and making it possible for future humans to traverse time and space.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores themes of government secrecy, alleged cover-ups, the nature of reality, and the potential for extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs. There's a strong emphasis on investigative journalism and the pursuit of truth, even when dealing with controversial or speculative topics. The articles encourage critical thinking about official narratives and personal experiences, particularly concerning UFOs and paranormal phenomena. The concept of genetic warfare as a fundamental driving force in the universe suggests a potentially grim outlook on interspecies relations. The overall stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, with a healthy skepticism towards official explanations and a willingness to explore unconventional theories.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, dated July 22nd, 2017, features a cover story titled 'The UFO Agenda' by Diane Tessman, exploring the provocative idea that UFO occupants might be 'Future Humans' from Earth's own timeline. The magazine also includes a significant piece by Nigel Mortimer introducing the concept of 'New Ufology,' advocating for a more open, evidence-based, and intuitive approach to the study of UFOs. The issue is rich with information on UFO conferences and speakers, particularly those in the UK.

The UFO Agenda by Diane Tessman

Diane Tessman's article posits that as humanity evolves, science and spirituality will converge, providing a new lens through which to understand UFOs and their occupants. She suggests that 'Future Humans' are likely interested in Earth and have been present for millennia, possibly since 1947. Their activities, such as observing, interfering with nuclear missile codes, and conducting 'catch and release' programs involving humans, are interpreted as attempts to protect Earth, perhaps from less friendly extraterrestrial races. Tessman shares a personal encounter from 1952 involving a UFO landing and the collection of water by dwarf-sized beings, an event kept secret for decades. She also recounts her own experience and extensive research, leading her to believe that some UFOs are piloted by humans from a future possibly marked by a nuclear holocaust. These future humans might be intervening to warn 'pre-nuclear' generations and collect genetic samples, as their own future could depend on humanity's survival. The article touches upon the potential physical changes humans might undergo after a nuclear war, including radiation mutation and reliance on artificial intelligence, leading to a decrease in muscle structure.

Tessman introduces the concept of 'time travel' as a more practical explanation for UFO occupants than distant extraterrestrial origins. She argues that if aliens had to traverse vast cosmic distances, it's more plausible that future humans, with advanced quantum technology, could 'drill down' through layers of time on Earth itself, rather than space. This perspective frames Earth as a layered historical record, with 'the Eternal Now' being the present moment. The idea of 'time being simultaneous' and 'all time happening at once' is presented as a potential truth, suggesting that future humans might be seeding themselves throughout time. The article concludes by posing the question of whether future humans realize they have done this before and if we are aware of seeding ourselves endlessly through time, framing it as an interesting, though not necessarily accepted, theory.

New Ufology: The Concept Behind The Conference by Nigel Mortimer

Nigel Mortimer, an 'old school' ufologist with over 35 years of experience, introduces 'New Ufology' as a necessary evolution in the field. He reflects on the changes he's witnessed, noting that the core challenge in Ufology is the reluctance to accept new ideas and think outside the norm. Mortimer traces the history of Ufology in the UK, recalling major incidents from the 1980s like the Rendlesham Forest landing and his own personal UFO encounter in 1980. He recounts how, in the mid-1980s, expressing beliefs about actual aliens from other worlds could lead to being labeled a 'nutter,' damaging reputations and friendships. This led him to work more independently.

Mortimer observes that the advent of the internet in the 1990s allowed more people to share their experiences openly, leading to a decline in ridicule. However, the internet also facilitated the spread of hoaxes and fake accounts. 'New Ufology,' he explains, is not a replacement for past work but a necessary step to move forward. It emphasizes honesty, truthfulness, and the investigation of high-strangeness events, encouraging witnesses to provide evidence such as cross-referenced timelines, photos, videos, and corroborating accounts. He criticizes 'experiencers' who make extraordinary claims without evidence, suggesting they are often motivated by profit rather than truth.

Mortimer argues that reality is more complex than previously understood, and investigating phenomena that defy conventional science requires more than just the five normal senses. He advocates for incorporating intuition and feelings, noting that methods like Remote Viewing, once dismissed as 'nutty,' are now being explored by scientific and governmental groups. 'New Ufology' aims to provide a platform for those with genuine experiences to share them with credible evidence. It seeks to build upon the foundations of past investigations while daring to explore the 'wonderment' of what UFOs mean for humanity's future.

UFO Conferences and Events

The magazine highlights two major UFO conferences in the UK:

1. National New Ufology Conference: Held on Saturday, July 22nd, 2017, at Bentham Town Hall, Lancaster. This event was free to attend and included a UFO summoning. Speakers included Nigel Mortimer, Derek Savory, Brenda Bulter, Phil Medley, Tony Topping, and Kevin Goodman. It was sponsored by Outer Limits Magazine.

2. The UFO Agenda Conference (70 Year Anniversary of the Modern UFO Era): Scheduled for Saturday, September 9th, 2017, at The Freedom Centre in Hull. This event featured guest speakers Philip Mantle, Malcolm Robinson, Russ Callaghan, Paul Sinclair, and Mike Covell, with tickets costing £10.

Additionally, 'The Scottish UFO & Paranormal Conference' is mentioned, taking place on July 8th, 2017, at Falkirk Town Hall, Central Scotland, with a £10 ticket price and speakers including Innes Smith, Tricia Robertson, Gary Gray, Andrew Hennessey, Malcolm Robinson, Alyson Dunlop, and Ron Halliday.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the evolving understanding of UFO phenomena, moving beyond simple 'alien' explanations to consider more complex possibilities like future human intervention and the nature of consciousness. There's a strong emphasis on the need for rigorous evidence and honest reporting in Ufology, with 'New Ufology' presented as a framework to achieve this. The editorial stance, particularly through Nigel Mortimer's contribution, supports a more open-minded yet evidence-based approach, encouraging investigators to embrace the 'high strangeness' of UFO encounters and integrate intuitive methods. The magazine also serves as a promotional platform for UFO-related events and publications, particularly those associated with Outer Limits Magazine and its contributors.

Title: Outer Limits Magazine
Issue: 5
Date: December 1, 2016

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine features reports on recent UFO sightings in the UK, alongside a preview of a significant new book on the Rendlesham Forest incident and related phenomena.

UK Sightings: Leicester and Leeds

The magazine presents two primary eyewitness accounts from September 9th, 2016. The first report comes from Andrew Headley, who was in Aylestone Meadows, on the outskirts of Leicester. While photographing the countryside, he observed a shiny, stationary object estimated at 20,000 feet. Initially crescent-shaped, the object began spinning at approximately one revolution per second. Headley captured 18 photos of the object, which remained in the same position for about a minute and a half. He also noted a second, unusual object that appeared crescent-shaped and was travelling at a considerable speed towards the horizon before disappearing behind a cloud.

The second report details a sighting by Michelle Sharman in the Tingley area of Leeds. During a major thunderstorm, Sharman and her daughter Jaeda observed a strange object in the sky. Sharman described it as oval/sphere-shaped and not particularly high, located near a railway line. The most peculiar aspect was a humming/thudding sound, which seemed to coincide with a car appearing roadside, leading Sharman to question if they were hearing things. The object was observed moving in a circle, causing Jaeda to scream in surprise. Sharman managed to capture images of the phenomenon.

The Halt Perspective: Rendlesham Forest and Beyond

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to promoting 'The Halt Perspective,' a forthcoming book by Colonel Charles I. Halt (USAF Retired) and John Hanson (UK Police CID Retired). This book is described as a unique, exclusive series of books published under the 'Haunted Skies' logo.

'The Halt Perspective' promises to present, for the first time, an unprecedented collection of comments and information regarding the UFO activity that occurred over Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, in late December 1980. The book reportedly includes previously unpublished UFO sightings over East Anglia and aims to provide a comprehensive account, with over 700 pages of compelling information and approximately one thousand images.

Colonel Halt, former Deputy Base Commander at RAF Woodbridge/Bentwaters Airbase, is presented as a key figure in the Rendlesham Forest incident. The book seeks to address sensationalised and inaccurate accounts that have been reported in the tabloid press, aiming to set the record straight. Colonel Halt expresses concern about a 'close held compartmentalised agency' investigating the UFO subject, noting that information released by the British government has had key timeframes missing.

John Hanson highlights the explosive nature of the evidence in the book, differentiating it from declassified MOD files. He notes that while direct links between the multitude of UFO sightings and Rendlesham Forest cannot be definitively proven, common sense suggests they should be considered.

The book's contents are outlined, including a foreword by ex-MOD spokesman Nick Pope and an afterword by Robert Hastings. It also features candid comments from individuals like retired USAF Sergeant Jim Penniston, who witnessed UFO activity.

Colonel Halt's background is detailed, including combat tours in South East Asia, command roles in Korea and Belgium, and his final assignment as Director of the Inspection Directorate for the US Department of Defense. He retired in June 1992.

Other Content

The magazine also includes a preview of 'Part 2 of Nick Pope's "If Roswell Happened Today"' and an article titled 'We Were Visited by Extraterrestrials: No Doubt.' by Paul Roberts. A section titled 'Oh! Oh! Oh! Tis the season to be spooked!' is also featured.

Announcements are made for future content, including OLM conference updates, news and sighting updates, book reviews, conference reviews, reader reports, and articles.

A memorial is included for Graham W. Birdsall (1954-2003).

Upcoming Events

Details are provided for the PROBE International Conference taking place on October 1st and 2nd, 2016, at the YMCA in St Annes, UK. Provisional speakers include Mark Olly, Marcus Allen, Neil Geddes-Ward, Dave Hodrien, Sweeps Fox, Dr Jenny Butler, Miles Johnson, and Cherry Arnold. Information on advance bookings, location, and ticket prices is included, along with details for a social night at The Ashton Park Hotel.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFO and UAP sightings, investigations, and related phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained aerial phenomena, encouraging reader participation and providing a platform for eyewitness accounts and expert analysis. There is a clear interest in historical cases like Rendlesham Forest and contemporary sightings, as well as a critical approach to official explanations and declassified documents. The magazine also promotes UFO-related events and publications.
