Featured Articles
The Grimoire of the 9/11 Attacks
By Steve Erdmann, this article delves into Joseph P. Farrell's book "Hidden Finance, Rogue Networks and Secret Sorcery: The Fascist International, 9/11, and Penetrated Operations." It explores the possibility of a global, third-level network with fascist international components behind the 9/11 attacks. The article discusses the alleged connections of Mohamed Atta to various entities, contradictions in the official narrative, and the involvement of figures like Rudi Dekkers and Arne Kruithof. It touches upon "three levels of conspiracy," the Pentagon attack's mysteries, and the role of intelligence warnings. The piece also examines financial crimes and "destruction theories" such as controlled demolition, nano-thermic explosions, and directed energy weapons, suggesting multiple mechanisms and deeper players were involved. Farrell's analysis extends to occult and numerological symbolism, linking it to synchronicity.
Hypercivilisations and the Primitive Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
By Dan D. Farcaş PhD, this article questions the conventional understanding of extraterrestrial life. It posits that while life may be common in the universe, the vast distances in space and time mean that civilizations at our level are rare. Farcaş introduces the concept of "hypercivilisations" – beings far more advanced than humans, potentially existing for millions of years. He critiques the "primitive extra-terrestrial hypothesis," which assumes alien civilizations are similar to ours and might seek direct contact or intervention. Instead, he suggests hypercivilisations might observe us discreetly, similar to how entomologists study ants, without revealing themselves or interfering significantly. He discusses preconceptions such as equal rights, conversation, invasion, and intervention, arguing that hypercivilisations would likely avoid these due to the vast evolutionary gap and potential for human societal disruption. The article also speculates that hypercivilisations might be harvesting human ideas and creations, and that ancient myths of fallen angels or divine beings could hint at past interventions.

Wild & Wonderful (and Paranormal) West Virginia by Denver Michaels
This article explores West Virginia as a hub of paranormal activity, citing its rich history of ghost stories, ancient peoples like the Mound Builders and the 'moon-eyed people' (Azgen), and numerous cryptid sightings. It mentions Bigfoot, Sheepsquatch, dogmen, black panthers, devil monkeys, chupacabras, and phantom dogs.

The Strangely Strange, Experiences of Chris Thomas. Part 1 by Chris Thomas
Chris Thomas recounts his ongoing experiences with the paranormal since 1989, which he believes are linked to an 'abduction' scenario. He describes receiving 'internal voices' that provide instructions, such as the creation of a specific metallic headpiece. Thomas details an experience in 2005 where he returned to a hill associated with past 'abductions,' accompanied by a friend, witnessing a spectacular light show. He also describes experiencing uncanny coincidences and receiving information about future events around 3 am. Thomas questions whether these experiences are common among 'abductees' and if they represent a shift in consciousness or an ability to connect with other dimensions. He also touches upon the CIA's 'remote viewing' project. The article then shifts to 'The Experience That Changed My Life,' detailing an event on August 23, 1989, where he felt an overwhelming 'presence' and was compelled to lie down, an experience that profoundly impacted him.
The Strangely Strange, Experiences of Chris Thomas. Part 1 (Continued) by Chris Thomas
Continuing his narrative, Chris Thomas describes the 'internal voice' instructing him to create a specific headpiece made of copper and iron. He recounts his brother's disbelief when he shared the experience. Thomas sought support and found it in a friend named Claire, who reassured him he wasn't going crazy. He then details another experience in October where the voice instructed him to go to a specific location on the South Downs, wearing the helmet. There, he witnessed three bright, silent, silvery-blue lights moving in unison, which he interpreted as a sign to continue. Upon reaching the summit, he experienced a shaft of yellow mist. Thomas reflects on the memory block he experienced afterward and how the event changed his life, leading him to sell his house and travel to research the UFO/abduction scene. He mentions having vivid dreams of 'missing time' and seeing inside alien craft, describing a circular space with no shadows and no apparent light source, populated by short, unemotional beings with large blackish eyes and heads, similar to those he recalls from 1976.
The Dechmont Law UFO Part Three by John Alison
This article investigates the Dechmont Law UFO incident, proposing rational explanations for the various mysterious elements. John Alison suggests that Robert Taylor's symptoms—confusion, inability to speak, difficulty coordinating movements, headache, and altered sense of smell/taste—were consistent with a Transient Ischaemic Attack (mini-stroke), which was likely undiagnosed at the time. This stroke, Alison argues, affected Taylor's memory of the event's location, leading investigators to the wrong site. The 'mysterious craft' is identified as an underground water tower, part of a reservoir complex. The 'mine-shaped objects' are explained as storage tanks containing Sodium Hypochlorite, a chemical used in water treatment, which would also explain the acrid smell and chlorine gas Taylor experienced. The 'arrow-shaped' tears in his trousers are attributed to high-security fencing around the complex. Alison concludes that most UFO explanations are overly complex and that a straightforward, 'down to earth' approach, considering all the evidence, provides a more plausible solution. He emphasizes the importance of identifying the correct location, which was the key to solving the mystery after 30 years.
Over our Heads - ufo - My Closest Sighting by James Borg
James Borg recounts a UFO sighting during a summer vacation in August 2002 at his family cottage in McKellar Lake, Ontario, Canada. He was with his wife, close friends, and a seer named Annamaria. Borg, who was involved in paranormal investigations, was sharing his experiences around a campfire when the mood shifted to sky-watching. The group observed lights moving like satellites but then noticed them stopping, changing speed, and moving faster, leading Borg to conclude they were UFOs. He contrasts this with satellites, which maintain a constant trajectory. The article includes images of the cottage, a UFO, and the group watching the sky.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue consistently explores the intersection of the paranormal, UFO phenomena, and personal experiences. The editorial stance appears to favor rational explanations for reported events, as exemplified by the detailed debunking of the Dechmont Law incident. However, it also acknowledges the enduring mystery and fascination surrounding UFOs and other unexplained phenomena, providing a platform for personal accounts and ongoing investigations. The magazine encourages critical thinking while remaining open to the possibility of extraordinary events, as seen in the various personal narratives and the promotion of a UFO conference.
This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, dated August 2002, focuses on "70 Years of The Modern UFO Era," exploring key events, figures, and controversies within ufology. The magazine features personal accounts, historical analyses, and discussions on alleged extraterrestrial evidence.
Personal UFO Sighting: James Borg
The issue begins with a detailed account from James Borg about a UFO sighting he and his wife experienced at Mekkellar Lake, Ontario, Canada, in August 2002. Borg describes observing multiple "star looking moving ufo's" performing "zig zag manoeuvres at very fast speeds then do dead stops." He notes that his friends were largely indifferent, but he remained fascinated for hours. The most striking event occurred when, after his friends left, he and his wife were making out by the campfire. He then witnessed a "rather large neon green sized egg like thing with a chestnut brown front" that "glowed beautiful." This object, described as being about the size of a 1970s Volkswagen bug, "speed[ed] out right out of the sky and galaxy beyond sight in just 1 second, with no sound whatsoever." The object was estimated to be ten to fifteen feet above their heads. Borg includes a photograph taken about two hours before the main sighting, which he claims shows an orb in flight, taken in response to a joke about ghosts. He also mentions a video enactment of the experience. Borg provides contact information for his "Uforia Chronicles group" on Facebook and his email address.
The Dawn of the Modern UFO Era: Arnold and Roswell
Chris Evers' article, "70 Years of The Modern UFO Era," examines the origins of widespread UFO interest. He questions whether Kenneth Arnold's sighting on June 24th, 1947, should be considered the start of the modern UFO era, predating the commonly accepted Roswell incident date of July 4th, 1947. Evers discusses the Roswell incident's initial headlines in the "Roswell Daily Record" about the RAAF capturing a flying saucer, and its subsequent debunking as a weather balloon. He highlights Kenneth Arnold's account of seeing "nine bright, saucer like objects" flying at "incredible speed" at 10,000 feet altitude near Mount Rainier, Oregon. Arnold, a U.S. Forest Service employee, estimated their speed at 1,200 miles per hour. The article notes that this sighting led to the press coining the terms "flying saucer" and "flying disc." The piece also touches upon the Maury Island events of June 1947, involving claims of falling debris and threats by men in black, but notes that one of the claimants later admitted it was a hoax, and the FBI quickly determined the matter was a hoax.
Historical UFO Reports and Media Coverage
The magazine references earlier sightings, such as green lights over Scandinavia and "Foo Fighters" during World War II, and even 1909 sightings of dirigibles. It mentions that the Roswell Incident was largely suppressed for over thirty years, resurfacing in 1978 due to Stanton T. Friedman's investigation. Arnold's description of the objects' movement led to the term 'Flying Saucer.' He described the objects as appearing to fly in formation, with one dipping and the others following. Arnold also witnessed flashes of light. The article notes that Bloecher collected reports of 853 flying disc sightings in 1947, with about 250 being detailed enough to suggest a genuine mystery. Arnold himself reported seeing similar objects on three other occasions and believed they might be of extraterrestrial origin, though he cautioned against hysteria. The first issue of "Fate" magazine (Spring 1948) featured an article by Arnold titled "The Truth About The Flying Saucers."
The Nazca Mummy and Other Anomalies
Ashley Cowie's article, "Construction Flaws Humanise Three-Fingered Nazca Mummy," investigates a controversial discovery in Peru. The article presents the "three-fingered mummy," named Maria, as a potential extraterrestrial or new species, but Cowie argues it is a modern hoax. He points to a "tiny design error" in the toe alignment, suggesting human craftsmanship. The article critiques the "scientific team" involved, including Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, Jaime Maussan, Dr. Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, and Jay Weidner, questioning their credentials and the lack of reputable scientific expertise and documentation. Cowie suggests the mummy might be an elaborate hoax, possibly created by Nazca people in the 5th century or more recently. The article also discusses the "Kyshtym Dwarf" (Alexey) from Russia, a premature infant with deformities whose remains vanished, and the Peruvian mummy 'Ata,' a 6-inch long skeletal remain found in 2003, which scientists dated to the 1980s and suggested was a human fetus with severe genetic disorders.
Conferences and Events
The magazine includes advertisements for UFO-related events. One is for an "Outer Limits Magazine '70 Years of The Modern UFO Era!' a day long Conference" to be held on Saturday, September 9th, 2017, at The Freedom Centre, Preston Road, Hull, UK, featuring speakers like Mike Covell, Paul Sinclair, Russel Callaghan, Malcolm Robinson, and Philip Mantle. Another advertisement promotes "The 5th Annual UFO Truth Magazine International Conference" in Holmfirth, UK, on Saturday, September 16th, and Sunday, September 17th, 2017, with speakers including Robert Hastings, Kathleen Marden, Francisco Correa, Andrew Johnson, Gary Heseltine, and Ben Emlyn-Jones.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the historical milestones of the UFO phenomenon, personal accounts of sightings, the debate between hoaxes and genuine evidence, and the scientific and cultural impact of UFO reports. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, presenting various claims and evidence while also highlighting skepticism and potential explanations, particularly regarding the Nazca mummy. The magazine aims to inform readers about the ongoing study and cultural significance of UFOs over the past 70 years.
This issue of Outer Limits Magazine, dated "MATARIKI 2012" (likely referring to a New Zealand astronomical event, but the publication is from the UK), presents a diverse range of topics within the realm of the paranormal and unexplained. The cover prominently features the headline "70 Years of the Modern UFO Era It's Conference Time!", indicating a focus on UFOlogy and related events. The magazine includes articles on ancient mysteries, historical UFO sightings, and upcoming conferences.
Ancient Mysteries: Nazca Mummies and Three-Fingered Gods
The issue begins with an exploration of a 5th-century Nazca mummy discovered in Peru. The mummy exhibits an elongated skull, a result of artificial cranial deformation, and altered hands and feet. The article posits that these modifications, particularly the three-fingered hands and toes, bear a striking resemblance to a three-toed sloth (Bradypodidae). This leads to a theory that the mummy might represent a Shaman in a transitional stage between human and animal spirits, a common theme in South American Shamanic rituals. The article further connects this to the Nazca Lines and their zoomorphic designs, suggesting that the depiction of hybrid human-animal forms was central to their culture. The concept of three-fingered deities is not limited to Nazca, as similar figures are found in ancient petroglyphs and artifacts from North America (Hopi "Katsina" figures) and the indigenous Polynesian culture of New Zealand (Maori art). The article cites Dr. A. K. Newman and Maori elders who noted the prevalence of three-fingered deities in Maori art, often associated with ancestors and a "slant eyes" characteristic.
UFO Sightings in the Hudson Valley
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the history of UFO sightings in New York's Hudson Valley, authored by Linda Zimmermann. The article details a wave of sightings in 1909, involving cigar-shaped craft moving at high speeds without sound. This was followed by generations of sightings, culminating in mass encounters in the 1980s. Specific incidents include a V-shaped craft seen on New Year's Eve 1982, a 300-foot craft hovering over Route 84 in March 1983, and a massive triangular craft seen by three teachers on the Taconic State Parkway the following week. The article also mentions a sighting by librarian Maureen Davis in 1985 of a craft the size of a stadium. The Hudson Valley is described as one of the most active UFO hot spots, with sightings encompassing various shapes, sizes, and capabilities. The phenomenon has also included abduction/contactee experiences, with early cases from 1929 and 1937 reported, often involving multi-generational contact and missing time.
The focus later shifted to Pine Bush, NY, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, where hundreds of people witnessed craft and light phenomena, leading to speculation about underground bases. Despite initial local opposition, Pine Bush now embraces its UFO reputation by holding an annual UFO festival.
UFO Conferences and Speakers
The magazine extensively promotes an upcoming conference titled "70 Years of the Modern UFO Era It's Conference Time!" to be held in Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom. The event aims to cover historical UFO sightings and related topics. Several speakers are highlighted:

Title: Outer Limits Magazine
Issue: 09
Cover Headline: The Limits of a Paper Trail
Document Type: Magazine Issue
This issue of Outer Limits Magazine explores the complexities and limitations of UFO investigations, focusing on the 'paper trail' left by official bodies and the nature of witness testimonies.
The Limits of a Paper Trail by Nick Pope
Nick Pope addresses the declassification of Ministry of Defence (MoD) UFO files, noting the public's interest and debate surrounding the release. He explains that numerous exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act, particularly concerning 'defence' and 'national security,' mean that the most significant information may never be released. Pope debunks the myth that his section at the MoD was merely a 'shop window' for UFO research, clarifying that government work, especially at the MoD, is highly classified. He refutes claims that the MoD did not investigate UFOs, citing a parliamentary question answered by the Under Secretary of State for Defence, Don Touhig, which confirmed his role in investigating unidentified aerial phenomena.
Pope explains that the limited paperwork for many UFO sightings is often due to conventional explanations being found quickly. Desk officers would correlate reports with known phenomena like aircraft activity, weather, or astronomical events. If an explanation was found, only a polite letter to the reporter was generated. However, he acknowledges that a lack of paper trail can sometimes be more sinister, drawing a parallel to evidence given to the Lord Chilcot inquiry regarding the second Gulf War, where a lack of written records was used to obscure facts.
He highlights that while FOI requests and archives can yield useful material, they do not provide the full story. Officials are increasingly cautious about creating extensive written records, preferring face-to-face discussions to avoid creating a traceable 'paper trail.'
UFOs and Entity Cases, Where Have They All Gone? by Philip Mantle
Philip Mantle, a UFO researcher, examines entity cases, noting a perceived scarcity of recent, well-documented landing cases with entities. He presents three historical cases from his files:
John Warren: Ludham, Norfolk, May 1943
During WWII, RAF Leading Aircraftman John Warren was returning to base late at night when he encountered a 'man' standing by the road, emitting a green glow from an oblong object on his chest. The man had a peculiar, unchanging grin. Behind him, near a hedge, stood an object shaped like a 'bell tent' with two figures in 'boiler suits' moving around it. Warren, initially thinking it was a German invasion, was frightened and never looked back. He later learned a friend had a similar, though less detailed, experience that night.
June Rice: August 1956, Filey, North Yorkshire
June Rice, a young mother, was walking home across fields when she encountered two tall, pale men in white suits with beautiful eyes and white hair. They appeared suddenly and silently. She felt compelled to go with them, and her memory went blank until she found herself back in her bed. She later learned she was pregnant, and her daughter often jokes about not belonging to Earth. Investigators noted her sincerity, though her recollections were vague, suggesting possible missing time episodes and entry amnesia, a common trait in abduction cases.
Alan Marsh: Walsall, West Midlands, January 1983
While walking to a friend's house, Alan Marsh saw a long, slim object resembling a 'mirror' in the sky, which then 'blinked out.' Shortly after, he encountered two humanoid beings hovering just above the grass. They spoke in an 'educated tone' with a mechanical sound, offering him a 'journey' which he declined, stating he had a family. The beings, described as handsome with curly dark hair and a Middle East appearance, wore tight-fitting outfits and floated away. Marsh was not frightened but confused.
Mantle concludes by noting that these three cases, from different decades and locations, share the common denominator of being single-witness observations during everyday activities. He questions why such encounters are not more frequently investigated or reported.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores the theme of UFO investigations and the challenges of obtaining definitive evidence. It highlights the gap between official records and the experiences of witnesses, suggesting that government secrecy and the nature of human memory contribute to this disparity. The editorial stance appears to favor presenting witness accounts and questioning the completeness of official documentation, while also acknowledging the possibility of hoaxes and misinterpretations. The inclusion of advertisements for paranormal events and merchandise suggests a target audience interested in ufology and related phenomena.
This issue of Outer Limits Magazine features a prominent cover story detailing a UFO fleet sighting in Telc, Czech Republic, on July 7, 2017. The magazine also includes articles on the nature of angels, a historical analysis of the Kenneth Arnold sighting, and an exposé on the alleged fraudulent claims of UFO researcher Larry Warren.
UFO Fleet Spotted in Telc - Czech Republic
The lead article describes an event on July 7, 2017, at approximately 10:20 PM, where a 'fleet' of UFOs, described as 'silvery white orbs,' was observed flying over Telc, Czech Republic. The sighting was witnessed by a large number of people, estimated between 60 to 80 individuals. Witnesses reported seeing a first large white orb flying alone for about five minutes, followed by a second large orb. The first orb then reportedly shot backwards towards a group of up to 40 other orbs, which appeared to be in formation. These orbs were also described as silvery white. Additionally, a large transporter aircraft was seen moving fast in the sky above the orbs. A local teacher, Mr. Hadrabra, is said to have filmed the event, but he was reportedly uncooperative when witnesses attempted to obtain the footage. The article includes contact information for anyone who may have witnessed the event in the Czech Republic or Telc area.
Angels: Our Celestial Allies
Written by Alyson Dunlop, this article explores the concept of angels from a psycho-philosophical perspective. Dunlop discusses the historical and traditional views of angels across various cultures, including their Persian (fravashis), Greek (daemones), Arabic (djinn), Judao-Christian-Islamic (angels), Hindu (devas and asuras), and Buddhist (devas) counterparts. The piece touches upon the evolution of angelic imagery in neo-paganism and New Age beliefs, sometimes linking them to Pleiadean aliens. The author references St. Thomas Aquinas and his influence on Catholic doctrine regarding guardian angels, noting that angels are believed to act on our senses and imagination but not directly on our will, requiring invocation. The article also shares personal anecdotes of angelic encounters, including instances where angels intervened in life-or-death situations or provided pre-warnings. Doreen Virtue's characteristics of an incarnated angel are highlighted, such as appearing suddenly, exhibiting extraordinary strength, and disappearing without a trace. The author shares personal experiences of angelic intervention, particularly during a period of dialysis in 1995, and recounts a story of a child seeing an angel. The article also touches upon the concept of Nephilim and their potential connection to beings perceived as angelic or not quite human.
Alleged Roswell Witness Update
Authored by Philip Mantle, this section revisits the testimony of the late Deputy Sheriff Charles Forgus regarding the alleged UFO crash at Roswell in 1947. Forgus claimed to have witnessed the recovery of a 110-foot UFO and alien bodies. The testimony was initially given to investigator Deanna Short. Mantle and Irena Scott PhD investigated this claim, with Scott featuring it in her book 'UFOS TODAY'. A nephew of Charles Forgus contacted Mantle, confirming his uncle's integrity and stating that the sighting actually occurred in 1953, not 1947, and was not in Roswell but en route to it. The nephew also noted that the Sheriff Forgus claimed to be with, Jess Slaughter, was not Sheriff in 1947. The nephew provided contact information for other family members, though he could not shed further light on the claims himself. The article emphasizes that this testimony, though potentially from a different time and location than initially reported, has brought forward new family contacts.
Book Reviews/Features
Three Minutes in June by Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D.
This section reviews Bruce Maccabee's book, which is described as an in-depth study of the first publicized sighting of strange craft-like objects, often referred to as UFOs or Alien Flying Crafts (AFCs). The book focuses on the Kenneth Arnold sighting from June 1947, which occurred near Mt. Rainier. Maccabee argues that despite numerous proposed explanations, Arnold's sighting, supported by physical data on size and speed, is proof that AFCs are real. The book analyzes Arnold's testimony, which was given on four separate occasions, and debunks various proposed explanations from Air Force investigators and skeptics. It also discusses a corroborating sighting by Fred Johnson, a prospector who reported a physical effect on his compass. Maccabee's motivation for writing the book stems from his belief that understanding the early years of UFO sightings (1947-1952) holds the key to answering fundamental questions about UFOs. He concludes that Arnold's sighting was essentially a message to humanity: "You are not alone."
UFO Investigations Manual by Nigel Watson
A brief mention and image of Nigel Watson's 'UFO Investigations Manual' is included, described as a comprehensive examination of UFO research and investigations, including government reports, from 1892 to the present day. It aims to explain UFOs, classify alien encounters, explore scientific research, and discuss alternative explanations.
"Theft at East Gate" By Nick Pope
This article by Nick Pope addresses the controversy surrounding UFO researcher Larry Warren. Peter Robbins, Warren's co-author on the book "Left at East Gate," posted a detailed statement on Facebook accusing Warren of telling multiple falsehoods, forging documents, and making up stories about friendships with musicians. The article highlights Warren's involvement in selling music memorabilia based on these alleged false claims. Pope also points out Warren's reported threats of violence against women, which led to him being barred from speaking at a UFO conference. The article asserts that Warren's case is an "exposed hoax" and that his credibility is beyond doubt. It notes that while parts of Warren's story, such as his posting at Bentwaters and Woodbridge bases, are true, his claims of being a whistleblower are exaggerated. The author, who previously worked for the Ministry of Defence and investigated the Rendlesham Forest incident, expresses personal interest in the case due to its connection to genuine witnesses and the "stolen valour" issue. Pope suggests that while the Larry Warren fraud may temporarily damage the credibility of the Rendlesham Forest incident and ufology, the testimony of genuine witnesses and declassified documents will ultimately prevail. He draws a parallel to the Roswell Slides fiasco, where a group of researchers worked to expose falsehoods. The article concludes that Warren is now largely a figure of ridicule within the UFO community, with people laughing at him rather than hating him.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
Outer Limits Magazine maintains a neutral stance on ongoing debates within the UFO community, as stated in its editorial. The magazine expresses a willingness to publish direct replies from individuals like Larry Warren and encourages respectful discourse among participants.

The flyer strongly promotes a conference focused on UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena, with an emphasis on both scientific inquiry (SETI, historical analysis) and spiritual or metaphysical interpretations (spiritual consequences, divine origin, earth mysteries, psychism). The inclusion of "Ghost Rockets" suggests an interest in unexplained aerial phenomena beyond typical disc-shaped UFOs. The overall stance is one of exploration and discussion of these complex topics, bringing together various perspectives from international speakers.
