Article: Alien Autopsy The Observer Speaks!

This article by Philip Mantle investigates the controversial 'Alien Autopsy' Film launched by Ray Santilli in 1995. Mantle recounts his involvement as one of the first UFO researchers contacted by Santilli and states that after 14 years, he has proven the film to be a money-making scam. He introduces Gareth Watson, who played the 'doctor' or 'observer' behind the glass in the film. Watson was contacted by Colin Woolford and responded to Mantle's Q&A. Watson states he was previously managing director of Telstar and firefly entertainment. He first met Ray Santilli in 1994 while working at Lumiere Pictures and later worked for Santilli as a marketing manager. Watson claims he was asked to be an 'actor' in the fake film by both Santilli and Gary Shoefield. He met Spyros Melaris before the shoot, who was involved with Santilli and Shoefield. Watson was asked to remain silent about his involvement. He found the film 'rubbish' and was never approached for his name to be used in relation to the Ant & Dec movie. He admits he knew very little about the film's complexities and did not make significant money from it. He regrets participating and would have kept out of it if he had known. He was led to believe it was a 'recreation' of original, poor-quality footage, not a hoax. He was shown grainy footage by Santilli and Shoefield, which he believed was the original, and has no idea of its current whereabouts.

Article: Confirming The Alien Autopsy Hoax, And Where It All Began!

This article by Philip Mantle details the origins of the 'Alien Autopsy' film hoax, tracing it back to a company called AK music and the 'TENT FOOTAGE'. Phil Jarman, who was responsible for starting the whole thing, shares his account via email. Around 1991, Jarman joined AK music and worked on computer animation, producing VHS volumes of 'Rave Music' and Karaoke Videos. In 1994/5, Keith from AK music asked Jarman about UFO stories, showing him a book about the Roswell crash. Keith and Andy Price-Watts, along with Keith's son and Elliot, filmed a 'fake' alien autopsy in an old barn. Keith's son played the alien, and Elliot used entrails from a butcher for the surgeon's props. The film was then aged by being copied and scratched. Jarman's role was to produce the scratches using animation software. He states that Keith was producing a video about UFOs and aliens for someone whose name he cannot recall, but Ray Santilli intervened, wanting to release it his way, leading to a dispute where Santilli kicked a chair and broke his toe. Santilli then severed ties with Keith and produced his own film, spending thousands. Jarman clarifies that the idea to make the Roswell video originated with him, not Santilli or Keith, and Keith was the one who initially asked about UFO stories.

Advertisement: The Alien Enigma by JP Robinson

This section advertises the non-fiction book 'The Alien Enigma' by JP Robinson. The book examines evidence of extraterrestrial life, government conspiracies, and diplomatic relations with aliens. It covers topics such as UFOs, abductions, crop circles, and contactees. Specific chapters delve into underground military bases (DUMBs), particularly the Dulce base, and NASA's secrecy, including claims that the Moon is an artificial satellite. The book also discusses the Roswell incident, other UFO crashes in New Mexico, and connects the UFO phenomenon to the Atom bomb. It features testimonies from Dr. Dan Burisch and Eduard 'Billy' Meier, and explores remote-viewing. The author, JP Robinson, encourages readers to improve their knowledge and notes that facts can be stranger than fiction.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFOs, alien encounters, and alleged conspiracies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, while also being critical and investigative, as evidenced by the detailed debunking of the 'Alien Autopsy' film hoax. The magazine aims to provide information and encourage discussion on topics often considered fringe or bizarre. The commitment to providing a free, accessible platform for these discussions is a key aspect of its editorial mission.

This issue of "UFOs & Ghosts" delves into the intriguing question of the connection between spectral apparitions and unidentified flying objects, proposing that the human perceiver is the unifying element. The magazine explores the nature of ghosts as phenomena tied to the past and UFOs as potentially linked to the future, drawing parallels with quantum physics and the observer effect.

Question One: Are ghosts a phenomenon of The Past?

The article defines ghosts as phenomena perceived by humans from the past. It uses an example of a woman seen in old New Orleans (circa 1800) and a similar sighting in 2017, describing the typical phantom-like appearance and the often turbulent or unhappy nature of the apparition. The key is that the ghost is perceived from a past era.

Question Two: Are UFOs a phenomenon of The Future?

This section speculates that UFOs might originate from the future. It suggests that future human craft could defy current aerodynamic limitations, nullifying gravity and maneuvering in ways not yet possible. The scenario presented is a man in 2016 spotting a UFO, questioning whether he is seeing something from his present or from the future, similar to how ghosts are perceived from the past.

Question Three: Does the perceiver influence what is seen?

Drawing on quantum physics, the article explains that the observer not only perceives reality but also influences it. It references an experiment at the Weizmann Institute of Science where a beam of electrons was affected by observation, demonstrating that increased 'watching' amplifies the observer's influence. This suggests that human consciousness plays a role in cementing events into reality.

Question Four: Is human perception affected by the Doppler Effect?

The Doppler Effect is explained in terms of sound (frequency changes as a source approaches or recedes) and physics (red shift for receding celestial objects, blue shift for approaching ones). The article proposes that 'red shift perception' might signify the past, and 'blue shift perception' the future, relating these to ghost and UFO sightings respectively.

Question Five: When we spot a ghost, are we perceiving back into The Past through a peephole in time?

It is suggested that ghosts manifest when an observer's perception shifts back in time, possibly due to fluctuations in light and time. This 'red shift' view of time would lead to perceiving the past.

Question Six: When we spot a UFO, are we perceiving forward into The Future through a peephole in time?

This section posits that UFO sightings might occur when an observer's consciousness functions through a 'blue shift' perception, looking into the future. It's suggested that these future UFOs might be going about their business in the future, in the same physical location as the observer.

Further Considerations on UFOs and Time

The article notes that some UFOs simply disappear, suggesting a 'peephole into some-when else' closing. It reiterates that the human observer might be the pivotal element, with UFOs existing in other times. The dizziness and silence reported by UFO observers are also mentioned as potential side effects.

Question Seven: Why do ghosts usually belong to the near-past and not to the cave days?

It's observed that ghosts are typically from the relatively recent past, such as Victorian servants or family members, rather than ancient times like cave dwellers or early migrations. The 'red shift perception' is thought to work better for nearer past events, becoming more distant and harder to perceive as time progresses.

Question Eight: Is the connection between UFOs and ghosts simply the phenomenon of time itself?

This question summarizes the preceding points: UFOs shift perception to the future (blue shift), while ghosts shift perception to the past (red shift). The vast majority of the time, humans exist in the present.

Human Consciousness and Quantum Physics

The article touches upon the idea that human consciousness is a phenomenon within the universe, and that phenomena happen to us within the workings of the cosmos, with real perceptions and results.

Notable UFO Incidents and Testimonies

Tehran UFO Incident

On September 18, 1976, General Parviz Jafari of the Iranian Air Force attempted to shoot down a UFO over Tehran. The UFO caused instrumentation and communication failures in the first jet scrambled, and when Jafari approached in a second jet, he locked onto the bright, multi-colored object. He observed four smaller objects detach from the main craft, and when he attempted to launch a missile, his control panel went dead. A declassified DIA document later called the case a 'classic' for UFO study.

Peruvian UFO Encounter

On April 11, 1980, Peruvian Air Force pilot Oscar Alfonso Santa Maria Huertas was ordered to shoot down a spherical UFO in restricted airspace. He fired 64 shells from his Sukhoi-22 fighter, but the projectiles had no effect, appearing to be absorbed rather than bouncing off. The UFO then engaged in evasive maneuvers, described as a 'cat and mouse' game, and was observed to be about 30 feet in diameter, cream-colored, with a metallic base, and no visible propulsion systems.

Rendlesham Forest Incident

Jim Penniston, who was in charge of security at RAF Woodbridge in December 1980, investigated reports of lights in Rendlesham Forest. He and colleagues discovered a triangular-shaped craft with blue and yellow lights, which electrically charged the surrounding air. Penniston described the speed as 'impossible' and noted strange pictorial symbols on the hull. Deputy Base Commander Charles Halt later witnessed the UFO firing light beams.

British Ministry of Defence UFO Investigations

An unnamed participant at a National Press Club event revealed that between 1991 and 1994, his duties at the Ministry of Defence involved investigating UFO sightings for 'defence significance.' The British government has received over 10,000 UFO reports, with about 5% remaining unexplained. The MoD is in the process of releasing old UFO files.

Channel Islands UFO Sighting

Captain Ray Bowyer, an airline pilot, reported seeing two UFOs near the Channel Islands on April 23, 2007. Described as 'flattened disk shapes' with 'brilliant yellow' lights, they were estimated to be up to a mile across. The objects were seen by passengers and another pilot, and an anomalous radar return was detected.

Personal Accounts and UFO Gatherings

James Borg, a correspondent for North America & Canada, shares his experiences facilitating UFO sky watches and meetups since 2007. He emphasizes that while attending such events doesn't guarantee a sighting, the collective spirit and belief of participants can enhance the chances. Borg recounts personal anecdotes, including a family sighting of a UFO while he was away at a meeting, and his wife's sighting of a craft resembling the Millennium Falcon.

He also describes a sky watch event at Rouge beach, Toronto, which, despite good weather and attendance, yielded no sightings. However, a subsequent gathering led him to hear about Tanya Lang's father's sighting in Trout Creek, Ontario, where a disc-shaped UFO hovered silently above a fire pit, displaying three different colored lights.

Tanya Lang herself has had multiple UFO experiences, including an encounter in her youth where a UFO followed her car, and seeing two golden lights in the sky over Lake Temagami. Her father also had a UFO encounter in his late teens.

Book Promotions

The issue includes promotional material for several books:

• "Alien Contact: The Difficult Truth" by Derek Tyler: This book is described as "An Unforgettable Book" where "Locked Doors Won't Keep Them Out" and "Guns Are Useless Against Them."
• "The Tragic Tale of William Papper" by Mike Covell: This book explores a historical maritime incident involving a fishing smack and a young fisher lad.
• "Czech Girls ET Contact" by Ilona Podhrázská and Ivana Podhrázská: This book details the personal human experience of two sisters who made contact with an Extraterrestrial from ELieLjíl.

Outer Limits Magazine Conference

Information is provided about the "Outer Limits Magazine '70 Years of The Modern UFO Era!'" conference in Kingston upon Hull, UK, on September 9, 2017. The event features speakers like Mike Covell, Paul Sinclair, and Philip Mantle.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the paranormal, particularly ghosts and UFOs, with concepts of time, perception, and consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, presenting various theories and personal accounts without definitive conclusions, encouraging readers to consider the possibilities. The role of human perception and quantum mechanics in understanding these phenomena is a recurring theme, suggesting that our reality might be more fluid and influenced by our consciousness than commonly believed. The issue also highlights the importance of documented evidence and personal testimonies in the study of UFOs and related mysteries.

This issue of "Awakening" magazine, Volume 11, dated March 2016, is published by Blue Giant Books and features a cover headline of "MY MEETING WITH ERICH!" by David Young. The magazine delves into various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, including eyewitness accounts, alleged extraterrestrial contact, and government responses.

Key Articles and Features

UFO Sightings and Encounters

The magazine presents several detailed accounts of UFO sightings and encounters:

• Belgian UFO Wave (1989-1990): Wilfried De Brouwer, a retired Major General of the Belgian Air Force, discusses a wave of sightings in Belgium involving a large, triangular craft with powerful lights that could accelerate rapidly. F-16 aircraft were scrambled in unsuccessful interception attempts, with radars detecting unusual speed and altitude changes.
• Tehran Encounter: A detailed account of an F-4 pilot's encounter with a UFO south of Tehran. The pilot reported radar lock on an object that rapidly moved away. Visually, it resembled flashing strobe lights. A second, smaller object detached and headed for the F-4, causing power loss and communication failure. This object then rejoined the primary UFO, which was followed by a third object that landed gently, casting a bright light.
• O'Hare International Airport Incident (November 7, 2006): Numerous airline personnel witnessed a disc-shaped UFO hovering over a terminal building in Chicago. The object accelerated upwards so rapidly it created a hole in the cloud cover. The FAA declined to investigate, attributing it to a "weather phenomenon."
• John Callahan's Investigations: Callahan, a former FAA Divisional Chief, investigated a 1986 incident involving a Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 that encountered a spherical UFO over Alaska. Radar tapes confirmed a large object following the aircraft, but a subsequent briefing for scientific staff resulted in a directive to maintain secrecy.
• Manchester UFO Incident (January 25, 1995): A Boeing 737 pilot and co-pilot reported seeing an unidentified, wedge-shaped, illuminated object with a black stripe passing their aircraft at high speed near Manchester, UK.
• Rendlesham Forest Incident (December 25-26, 1980): This article, compiled by Ronnie Dugdale, details the events at the twin US Air Force bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, UK. Airmen John Burroughs and Budd Steffens investigated strange lights in Rendlesham Forest. They reported seeing a large white spherical light that "didn't crash, it landed." The incident involved multiple witnesses, including high-ranking officers, and claims of evidence disappearance and intimidation.

Extraterrestrial Contact and Messages

• "A Message from the ETs" by Preston Dennett: This section explores cases where individuals have been taken inside UFOs and received messages from extraterrestrial beings (ETs). Dennett notes patterns in these messages, which often fall into three categories: warnings of environmental disasters, information about alternative energy sources, and teachings about healing and spirituality.
• Kevin Kammann's Experience: A U.S. Navy corpsman, Kammann was taken aboard a UFO piloted by fifteen-foot-tall Praying Mantis ETs. They imparted a warning about upcoming natural disasters, including mudslides, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes, stating that humanity's testing of atomic weaponry had drawn their attention.
• Jim Kuebelbeck's Dream: A Navy aviation electronics technician, Kuebelbeck experienced a "dream" after a UFO sighting aboard the USS Valley Forge. In this dream, he was with men discussing alternative energy sources like momentum, magnetism, and centrifugal force, emphasizing that limitations are self-imposed.

Paranormal Investigations

• "A Visit to RAF Upwood" by Jason M Barnard: Barnard describes a visit to the abandoned RAF Upwood airbase in Cambridgeshire, UK, with a medium who indicated the presence of a spirit named Joan. Through an ovilus device, communication was established, with Joan mentioning "medicine" and "bathroom." The investigation also suggested the presence of a "bad entity" and revealed signs of sacrifice and pentagrams in a room.

Meeting with Erich Von Daniken

• "My Meeting With Erich!" by David Young: David Young recounts his experience meeting with author Erich Von Daniken at an event. Young presented Von Daniken with copies of "The Halt Perspective" and "Haunted Skies." They discussed the books, and Von Daniken agreed to provide a statement for future publications. Young also observed Linda Moulton Howe's presentation and witnessed Von Daniken presenting her with a lifetime achievement award.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of unexplained aerial phenomena, alleged extraterrestrial contact, and the challenges of official acknowledgment and investigation. There's a recurring emphasis on the credibility of witnesses, particularly pilots and military personnel, and the frustration with government secrecy or dismissal of such events. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into these phenomena, advocating for them to be taken more seriously, especially when they involve flight safety concerns and credible witnesses. The inclusion of articles on paranormal investigations and discussions with prominent figures in the UFO and ancient astronaut fields suggests a broad interest in unexplained mysteries.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, titled 'FIRST BIRTHDAY ISSUE' and dated December 2016, marks the first anniversary of the publication. The magazine, edited by Chris Evers and with Malcolm Robinson as associate editor, aims to cover all aspects of the paranormal, with a particular focus on Ufology due to current events. The issue features a lead article on the Rendlesham Forest Incident, alongside other paranormal topics and reader contributions.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident

The issue delves deeply into the Rendlesham Forest Incident of December 1980, presenting accounts from several key witnesses. Ed Cabansag recounts seeing a white light with an orange tinge in the dense forest, initially thinking it was a prank, but the intensity and his colleagues' reactions indicated something more serious. As they entered the forest, their radios began to malfunction, suffering increasing interference. Animals in the forest were agitated, and airmen at Woodbridge base heard the commotion.

Shift Commander and Sgt. Penniston initially believed they were responding to a downed aircraft. Meanwhile, airman Bertolino and a colleague at Bentwaters base observed a large, luminescent glow from Bunker Hill, described as football pitch-sized with a dome-like quality that lit up the area without radiating outwards.

Sgt. Penniston reported on the radio that the bright light had gone out, but blue and orange beacon lights remained visible. As the ground team moved into the woods, they experienced a distortion of time and a feeling of wading through water due to strong static electricity. Penniston, an experienced investigator, noted the absence of typical signs of a crashed aircraft, such as fires or fuel odors, and the concentrated nature of the lights.

Penniston led the patrol, followed by Burroughs and Cabansag. They observed the lights intensify, illuminating the forest like daytime, causing them to dive to the ground. Penniston yelled to Burroughs to open fire, but accounts diverge from this point. Burroughs recalls seeing a red, oval sun-like object that shot back towards the coast. He and Penniston then moved towards the coast, observing the object near a farmer's house before it disappeared.

Sgt. Penniston's account differs, stating that after the bright sphere dissipated, a triangular craft of unknown origin appeared. He measured it at approximately 7-8 feet high and 9 feet across, noting its seamless, black glass-like surface with strange symbols. He reported no engines, crew compartments, or windows, and found the symbols familiar but unidentifiable. Penniston took photographs and notes, describing the craft's surface as smooth and warm, with etched symbols that felt like sandpaper. He also reported receiving a telepathic binary code download when touching the symbols.

Ed Cabansag's recollection is fragmented, with a significant gap in his memory from the time they encountered the object until they were back at base. He recalls seeing unusual colored lights and radios acting up, but does not remember being separated from the patrol or seeing a landed object. He wonders if his memory was blocked or altered.

Chris Evers, the publisher, notes that the UK is experiencing a surge in UFO sightings, prompting Nick Pope to suggest reopening the official British UFO investigation unit. The magazine also highlights the alleged events experienced by Larry Warren in East Suffolk during Christmas 1980 and features an interview with Steve Longero.

Other Articles and Contributions

The magazine includes contributions from various individuals. Colin Saunders praises the magazine's serious and professional approach to reporting on UFOs. David Young commends its non-profit agenda and quality articles, looking forward to the first conference. Glen Richardson congratulates the magazine on its first anniversary. Darren Cooper describes Outer Limits Magazine as a place to read 'the Truth' without manipulation. Paul Sinclair, a long-time acquaintance of Chris Evers, expresses his confidence in the magazine's success.

John Hanson, creator of 'The Haunted Skies' series, wishes the magazine a happy anniversary, noting its unique content and coverage. Derek Tyler comments on Chris Evers' vision for a cutting-edge, informative magazine. Malcolm Robinson, the associate editor, shares his initial reluctance to join but was convinced by Chris Evers' passion and vision, contributing numerous articles.

Future Plans and Editorial Stance

Outer Limits Magazine plans to continue providing factual and up-to-date information on unexplained phenomena. They are looking to expand into DVD production and book publishing. A significant future event is the first Outer Limits conference in Kingston upon Hull, featuring various investigators and researchers.

The magazine emphasizes its commitment to presenting the 'TRUTH' regardless of where it leads. It aims to be a leader in the field of Ufology and high strangeness, encouraging reader engagement and support. The editorial stance is not to be overly belief-generated, but to present both sides of the coin, including skeptical viewpoints, even if it affects readership. They plan to examine historical cases and current events with a critical yet open mind.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, particularly the Rendlesham Forest Incident, and the broader paranormal field. The editorial stance is one of investigative journalism, aiming to uncover the truth by presenting diverse perspectives, including those of witnesses, investigators, and skeptics. The magazine prides itself on its unbiased reporting and commitment to exploring the unexplained without fear of controversy. The emphasis is on providing factual information and fostering a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the universe.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine features an in-depth investigation into the 'Humberside Flying Triangle' UFO sightings that occurred in December 1987. The article, written by Philip Mantle, details the events, witness testimonies, and the subsequent investigation into the phenomenon.

The Humberside Flying Triangle of 1987

Philip Mantle, a UFO field investigator, recounts his investigation into a series of UFO sightings that took place in Humberside, East Yorkshire, in December 1987. He was prompted to revisit the case after watching a documentary on 'flying triangles'. Mantle and his colleague Gary Anthony, who was a new field investigator at the time, compiled a report on the sightings.

The events began on December 9th, 1987, brought to attention by a local radio station, VIKING, and later expanded upon by BBC Radio Humberside. Witnesses described large, triangular objects. A farmer in Fitling, Holderness, was among the first to report the UFOs to Humberside Police. Gary Anthony contacted RAF Binbrook, which stated that all their exercises had finished early on December 9th, before 4:30 pm.

Two newspaper articles from the Hull Daily Mail, dated December 11th and December 30th, 1987, are referenced. Philip Mantle also broadcast an appeal for witnesses on Radio Lincoln, leading to over 50 people coming forward.

Witness Accounts

The article presents numerous witness testimonies:

• Fitling, Aldbrough: A farmer reported a 250ft long triangular object with about 150 red and white lights, making a roaring noise.
• Bilton, Hull: Two men saw a series of large objects with lights moving across the sky at 5:15 pm.
• Keyingham, Holderness (approx. 5:00 pm): Allison Acey and two friends observed lights travelling from West to East at a slow speed and an elevation of about 45 degrees. Mrs Hook described the sound as different from aeroplanes, like a 'heavy heart beat'.
• Dansom Lane, Hull (5:15 pm): Christine Juncar observed sets of lights travelling from south to north at a 45-degree elevation, described as 'red and white lights as bright as stars'.
• Middleburg Street, Hull (5:15 pm): Karen Rogers and her boyfriend saw three lights at a 45-degree elevation, described as white and flashing, moving from south to north with a distant humming noise.
• Holmes Lane, Bilton, Hull (5:30 pm): Carol Wilson reported an object with red lights, with a further red light to the rear and above, travelling from south to north at high elevation, disappearing behind cloud.
• Sproatley, Holderness (5:30 pm): Mrs Pauline Pindar and her children saw lights described as 'bright-sort of yellowish-white' at a 45-degree elevation, moving gracefully and slowly. She described them as resembling airships.
• Withernwick, Hornsea, East Holderness (5:30 pm): Michael Harrison, an amateur astronomer, described four red lights in a row with a white light leading and one trailing, below cloud level at a 45-degree elevation, travelling south to north. He heard a 'low pitched noise' and a sound like 'thunder'.
• Sigglesthorne, Hornsea, East Holderness (6:00 pm): James Ellis saw two lines of red lights with a trailing light in the east, at a 70-degree elevation, travelling at a 'constant speed' and disappearing in the distance.
• Hull City Centre (6:45 pm): Walter Myers saw '3 like triangular shapes but altogether as one object', described as translucent and 'amerberish colour'.
• Fitling, East Holderness (approx. 5:00 pm): Farmer John Taylor reported a 'bloody big thing' full of red and white lights, flying over his house at a height of 100-200ft. He described the lights forming 'a triangle' and estimated the speed at about 30 mph.
• Grimsby Industrial Estate (7-8 pm): Michael White saw lights flying over the industrial estates at a 45-degree elevation, travelling from west to east with a 'haze' around them. He noted two objects, the second following the first, veering off towards the River Humber.

Some witnesses noted that the noise produced by the objects was like a large turbine engine.

The Investigation

Mantle outlines the methods of UFO investigation in 1987, which included written reports, telephone calls, and in-person interviews, as there was no internet or email. He and Gary Anthony sent out official report forms and contacted agencies like the police and Ministry of Defence.

Mantle expresses his opinion that when multiple sightings occur on the same day across a wide area, there is usually a rational explanation, even if it's not immediately found. He recounts how a former RAF Officer suggested the sightings might be related to an RAF refuelling exercise. To verify this, Mantle contacted Humberside Police and the Ministry of Defence.

Humberside Police, in a letter dated December 16th, 1987, confirmed they had received telephone enquiries about alleged UFO sightings on December 9th. They stated that the object was described as 250 feet in length, triangular, with red and white lights, and a loud roaring noise. They had no information relating to weather conditions and had sent a copy of the request to the witness.

BBC Radio Humberside had contacted RAF Binbrook, who confirmed the sightings were not related to them. Mantle then wrote to the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

An MoD letter dated January 14th, 1988, from Squadron Leader Webley, confirmed that the sightings were likely a USAF refuelling exercise. It stated that USAF KC-135 and F111 aircraft, operating from Mildenhall, were exercising over the North Sea and passing over Humberside around 5:00 pm on December 9th.

Mantle concludes that the reports were satisfied by the explanation of a USAF refuelling exercise involving two KC-135 tanker aircraft, each with up to seven F111 aircraft in trail.

Author's Reflections

Mantle reflects on the nature of UFO research, contrasting his early experience with today's online-focused approach. He emphasizes the value of firsthand experience and the strong 'will to believe' among some witnesses, who may reject official explanations. He notes that many UFO magazines might dismiss such cases as unimportant, but he disagrees.

Intelligent Light Forms and the Fire-Fog

This section, written by Paul Sinclair, investigates a separate phenomenon: a 'red fog' reported off the coast of Withernsea in January 2017, and its potential connection to earlier events.

Sinclair recounts meeting trawler men in Bridlington harbour. Danny, a boat owner, mentioned a 'weird fog' that boats were asked to look out for, described as a 'bank of red or Orange fog' about three and a half miles off Withernsea. His father also heard of a 'blue fog'.

Sinclair visited the Bridlington lifeboat station to inquire about distress calls or flares. He learned that on January 16th, 2017, a call was received about orange lights seen at sea. He also found a reference in his notes to a 'Fire fog' and 'Mary Sexton' from the Bridlington Free Press dated March 12th, 1987.

Further investigation into the 1987 incident revealed that Mary Sexton encountered the 'fire fog' inland near Flamborough on March 4th, 1987. The Bridlington lifeboat had been launched around the same time following a report of a red distress flare off Sewerby. Searches of beaches found nothing. The lifeboat logs for March 4th, 1987, showed the lifeboat launched at 8:16 pm and returned at 10:10 pm, finding nothing. Another call about a suspected flare on March 25th did not result in the boat being launched.

Sinclair notes that the 'fire fog' was described as a thick bank of red fog, far too dense to be from a flare, and that no one reported smelling anything associated with flares. He also mentions that orange lights had been seen off the coast around Sewerby and Danes Dyke areas on several occasions in 1987.

He discusses the concept of 'Intelligent Light Forms' (ILFs), which he has documented over many years, and states that they are not flares. Sinclair suggests that the red fog might not be connected to anything unusual, but he acknowledges the possibility of patterns in unexplained phenomena.

The SPI Files!

This section, by Malcolm Robinson, details a case of alleged haunting at Gartmorn Road, Sauchie, Scotland, in 1987.

Robinson and fellow researcher Ron Halliday investigated claims that three houses joined together in Gartmorn Road were haunted. Early research indicated that for the past six months, the houses had been experiencing strange footsteps, noises, bangs, and smells, with many noises coming from the loft. Cindy Hope (pseudonym) reported feeling uneasy since moving in, experiencing strange sensations, dizziness, and her daughter Laura (pseudonym) suffering from bad dreams. Her neighbour, Mrs Elaine Peters, also reported similar events.

When the SPI investigative team arrived, the families living in the houses had abandoned them due to the ghostly events. Cindy's house was filled with camp beds and air beds as guest families had come to stay. The situation escalated when a 'thumping' sound from upstairs prompted the residents to investigate, leading to a confrontation with their fears.

SPI consulted Tony Cornell of Cambridge University and Professor Archie Roy of Glasgow University for assistance, but they were unavailable. Other Scottish researchers also provided little help, leaving SPI to investigate the case on their own.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to focus on unexplained phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and paranormal events. The editorial stance, as evidenced by Philip Mantle's article, is one of thorough investigation and a belief in rational explanations, even if they are not immediately apparent. Mantle emphasizes the importance of experience and diligent research in understanding such cases. The magazine also seems to present a platform for researchers like Paul Sinclair and Malcolm Robinson to share their findings on diverse topics within the realm of the unexplained, from atmospheric phenomena to hauntings. The overall tone suggests a commitment to exploring these mysteries with a critical yet open mind.

This issue of Outer Limits magazine, dated February to March 1987, delves into two significant paranormal investigations in Scotland: the Gartmorn Road Poltergeist and the Dechmont Law UFO Incident. The magazine adopts a skeptical yet open-minded approach, presenting detailed accounts and exploring various theories.

The Gartmorn Road Poltergeist (Part 2 & 3)

This section details a poltergeist case affecting three houses in Sauchie, Scotland. The investigation, led by Malcolm Robinson and Kevin Cole of SPI (Strange Phenomena Investigations), involved numerous unsettling events.

Page 1 & 2: Initial Phenomena

The article begins by describing a series of escalating paranormal events in a house, including unexplained heavy footsteps, cold spots, strange noises from the loft, and objects moving on their own, such as a knife and fork. The family dog exhibited extreme fear of the upstairs, even being found locked in an upstairs bedroom from the inside, with bloodied paws from trying to claw its way out. A doppelganger of one of the women was seen walking downstairs when she was elsewhere in the house. During an investigation interview, one of the ladies entered a trance and spoke in an unknown language. Young Dane, the 11-year-old son, reported being visited by a man and woman carrying a baby, who appeared real and solid. The woman allegedly snatched a pillow from under Dane's head and asked him not to be frightened, explaining that they didn't like the dog and had locked it in the room to protect the baby. It was later revealed that Dane was unaware the dog had been locked up. Dane's mother also reported having strange dreams of a man and woman with a baby, and it was discovered that a neighbor, Elaine Peters, had lost two babies in childbirth. Dane continued to see the figures, who claimed they were 'looking after the baby' until its owners stopped being angry with it, and the woman tried to offer the baby a dummy.

The investigation team decided to spend a night in the house to document the phenomena. They set up equipment in Marie's bedroom, noted as the chilliest room. Before their vigil, they checked the lofts of both Cindy and Elaine's houses, finding no evidence of hidden devices, nests, or rodents that could explain noises. Sadly, the investigators experienced nothing unusual during their overnight stay. The article also mentions the involvement of the Alloa Christian Spiritualist Church. One incident involved loud banging noises coming from a locked room above the church members' meeting place. When investigated, the room was found empty and securely locked, but the noises resumed after they left. The family explained these occurrences were regular.

Page 4: Psychic Intervention and Alarming Experiences

On February 16th, 1987, church members and SPI members attended the Hope house for a psychic healing session. During this, medium John Allardice felt extreme heaviness and heat, perceiving a voice asking for love. Medium Emily Manini conducted prayers in Marie's bedroom, which was noted to be bitterly cold. A woman's voice was heard shouting that Cindy had been pushed off a bench. Elaine Peters, present in the bedroom, felt the room warm up as if something had left. The group rushed downstairs, and psychic healing was administered. Later, Elaine Peters experienced a disturbing trance-like state, speaking in a strange voice about 'Lawrence' being thrown down a hole and men trying to get her. She mentioned a baby named 'Elona', which was the name of a baby Elaine had lost in childbirth years prior. The name Elona is noted as a variant of Alona and Ilona, meaning 'oak tree; light'. This experience was described as one of the strangest sights the investigator had witnessed.

Page 5: Potential Explanations and a Physical Assault

The article explores potential connections to plague pits as a possible explanation for Elaine's words. A Stirling medium, Mrs. Jean Glenn, visited the homes but found nothing significant. During a second overnight investigation by SPI, nothing unusual was experienced, leading to disappointment and anger from the families. An amusing, though frightening, incident occurred when the author, Malcolm Robinson, was physically assaulted in a pub by a man who accused him of seeing his girlfriend. The man grabbed Robinson by the throat, pinning him to the wall. The investigation concluded with a 'cleansing ceremony' conducted by a resident psychic, Helen Walters, who made contact with the spirit entities. The families eventually moved away. The author reflects that while researchers saw or heard little, the experience was nonetheless interesting.

The Dechmont Law UFO Incident (Part 1)

This section begins a serialisation of Phil Fenton's alternative theory regarding Scotland's 'Livingston UFO Incident', also known as the Dechmont Law Incident. The magazine presents this as a counterpoint to other theories, emphasizing the importance of considering different perspectives.

Page 7: Robert Taylor's Account

In 1979, a forester named Robert (Bob) Taylor reported a strange encounter in Dechmont Law Woods, near Livingston. This incident, deemed serious enough for a police investigation, remains officially unsolved. The article presents the original press report of Taylor's experience. On November 9th, 1979, Taylor was working in the woods when he discovered a large, circular, dome-shaped machine hovering in a clearing. He described its surface as dark metallic and somewhat transparent, with a flange and stems topped with propellers. The object appeared to be camouflaging itself.

Page 8: Close Encounter and Physical Effects

Two smaller spheres, described as looking like naval mines with six stalks, emerged from beneath the main object and rolled towards Taylor. These spheres attached themselves to his trousers, emitting a hissing sound and a strong, acrid smell described as 'burning automobile brake linings', which caused him to choke. Taylor felt he was being dragged towards the larger object and eventually lost consciousness. Upon regaining consciousness, the object had disappeared. He experienced difficulty speaking and walking, eventually crawling to his van. His wife, Mary, finding him in a distressed state, contacted his supervisor, Malcolm Drummond. They later visited the site and found strange indentations in the forest floor, described as ladder rungs and numerous tracks, suggesting something heavy had landed and taken off vertically.

Page 9 & 10: Investigation and Analysis

Taylor's doctor found grazing on his chin and thighs, and the police initially treated it as a common assault. Tears in Taylor's trousers, where the spheres had attached, were examined and suggested the implements had attempted to lift him. The police seized the trousers for forensic examination. The article notes that Taylor, a man of good character, consistently maintained his story until his death in 2007. The incident is described as having no menace. The presence of his dog, Lara, might have frightened the machines. The investigation also considered the possibility of plague pits as a reference in Elaine Peters's trance. The article mentions that the Dechmont Law Encounter is the only UFO investigation in Scotland to have been investigated by the police and remain unsolved. The magazine also includes a sketch plan of the incident site and discusses potential explanations, including the possibility of a hoax, which was ruled out by investigators due to Taylor's consistent testimony and integrity.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Outer Limits magazine consistently explores the unexplained, presenting detailed case studies of both poltergeist activity and UFO encounters. The editorial stance emphasizes a commitment to providing alternative and skeptical viewpoints, encouraging readers to consider different perspectives on paranormal phenomena. The magazine highlights the importance of thorough investigation, even when direct evidence is elusive, and acknowledges the psychological impact such experiences can have on individuals. The inclusion of psychic investigations and theories alongside eyewitness accounts suggests a broad interest in the paranormal, while the critical analysis of evidence aims to maintain a degree of journalistic integrity.

This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, Issue 8, dated 1st June 2017, focuses on two prominent UFO cases: the Dechmont Law incident in Scotland and the Broad Haven sightings in Wales. The cover features a futuristic alien head with neon green accents, announcing a conference on '70 Years of The Modern UFO Era!' and listing speakers such as Mike Covell, Paul Sinclair, Russel Callaghan, Malcolm Robinson, and Philip Mantle.

The Dechmont Law Incident

The magazine extensively explores the Dechmont Law incident, which occurred on November 9, 1979. Robert Taylor reported an encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO) that landed in a woodland clearing, followed by the appearance of mysterious, mine-shaped spheres that allegedly attacked him, tore his trousers, and caused confusion. The article questions initial explanations, including the possibility of a secret military aircraft, due to the location and lack of witnesses.

Several alternative theories are presented. Steuart Campbell initially proposed 'Black Ball Lightning,' a natural phenomenon, but this was dismissed due to the physical interaction with Taylor and the lack of burning. Campbell later suggested a mirage of the planet Venus caused by unusual atmospheric conditions, though this is debated due to the daylight encounter and the need for a lens effect to bend light. Malcolm Robinson proposed an interdimensional origin or a future human time machine, based on the object's ability to merge with its background. David Slater suggested the entire event was a hallucination brought on by Deadly Nightshade poisoning, prevalent in the area.

A significant portion of the article is dedicated to debunking the initial explanations for the physical evidence. The circular indentations on the ground, initially attributed to the mine-shaped spheres, are explained as being caused by the posts of a woodland shelter. The 'caterpillar tracks' are also attributed to the construction of this shelter, specifically the seating or bedding arrangement inside.

The article strongly suggests that the 'craft' Robert Taylor encountered was actually an underground structure, specifically a dome-shaped water tower and reservoir complex located near the M8 motorway. The description of this structure closely matches Taylor's account of the UFO. The author questions why investigators at the time did not identify this structure, noting that it was not in the location initially described by Taylor.

The article concludes that while the 'craft' and ground markings can be explained by the underground structure and shelter, the mysterious 'mine-shaped objects' and the misidentification of the location remain unexplained, promising further discussion in a future issue.

The Broad Haven UFO Sighting

The magazine then shifts focus to the Broad Haven UFO sighting in West Wales, considered one of the most famous in the UK. The incident began on February 4, 1977, when children at Broad Haven School witnessed a cigar-shaped craft in a field. Subsequent sightings included a silver-suited figure in the field and later, a similar figure at a farmhouse window.

The article highlights the media frenzy that followed, noting that much of the coverage focused on discrediting the sightings by offering mundane explanations like farm vehicles or sewage trucks, despite the terrain being unsuitable for such vehicles. The author criticizes this approach, arguing that it ignores the possibility of genuine UFO phenomena and fails to investigate the underlying reasons for the sightings.

Further accounts include Rosa Granville, owner of the Haven Fort Hotel, seeing a saucer-shaped UFO and a silver-suited humanoid near a hidden nuclear fallout shelter. Pauline Coombs reported a large ball of light near Ripperston Farm, and a newspaper described a 'Jelly Mould' shaped UFO. Pauline's husband, Billy, reported seeing strange military activity near the coast, including frogmen, unmarked army trucks, and camouflage soldiers, suggesting a connection to military operations.

The article posits that the UFO sightings may have been a way to draw attention to the area, potentially related to military activities, including the presence of underground bases and underwater paths. The author suggests that the UFOs might have been deactivating nuclear weapons, thus helping humanity. The presence of Americans working at a nearby base and a tense encounter described by Rosa's daughter, Francine, further hints at covert operations.

Other Content

The issue also includes a brief mention of a TV program called 'Dr Who' that may have influenced descriptions of spacecraft. A book review or mention of 'Down In The Valley' by Gaynor Vine is present, described as a story about two people whose lives change drastically when they move to the country to care for their parents, leading to discoveries about the people around them. The book is available on Amazon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the need for critical examination of UFO phenomena, moving beyond simplistic explanations and media-driven skepticism. It highlights the potential for military activity to be linked to UFO sightings, suggesting that these events may serve as warnings or indicators of hidden operations. The magazine appears to favor alternative explanations and investigative research over conventional debunking. There is a recurring theme of questioning official narratives and seeking deeper truths behind unexplained events. The editorial stance encourages readers to look beyond the obvious and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial or interdimensional involvement, as well as the potential for UFOs to be connected to global security issues.

This document appears to be a collection of promotional material for two distinct entities: 'Hitchhikers Guide' and 'Outer Limits Magazine'. The first page prominently features 'HITCHHIKERS GUIDE 42' with a website address http://www.ahk42.com/.
