Contents and Articles

Scorpio Speaks (Page 3)
This is likely an introductory or editorial piece, setting the tone for the magazine.

Contents (Page 3)
A detailed table of contents lists numerous articles covering a wide range of UFO-related topics, including ESP, underwater saucers, alien encounters, spiritual leaders, and historical cases.

UFOs and ESP by Otto O. Binder (Page 4)
This article discusses the potential for a massive UFO wave and landings predicted by Ted Owens, who claims to be a "mouthpiece" for UFO-people. Binder explores the growing connection between ESP and saucermen, citing personal correspondence with individuals who have received messages from UFOs. He notes that many witnesses report hearing "words" in their minds from UFOs or their occupants. The article suggests that UFO appearances might be linked to an impending worldwide catastrophe.

Underwater Saucer Contact by Rey d'Aquila (Page 5)
This piece recounts the experience of Ad Beers, a yachtsman who encountered a disc-shaped UFO submarine off the coast of Holland. Beers claims to have rescued two alien beings and was offered a choice between metal artifacts or a briefing on conditions on their home planet, IARGA. He received information about Iargan society, technology, and philosophy through a form of instrumental "communication" with a computer, aided by mental pictures. The article also touches upon the geographical alignment of UFO sightings in Europe and mentions Beers' book, "Outerspace Civilization."

American Saucer Landing of 1820 by Kenneth Larson (Page 6)
Larson details a purported UFO landing experienced by Joseph Smith in 1820. According to the account, Smith saw a brilliant object descend and land, from which two personages appeared, claiming to be "of the LORD." The article connects this event to the history of the Book of Mormon and ancient civilizations in Mexico and Central America. It also mentions other unusual aerial phenomena and lights reported in Canada.

How Things Really Look by Richard S. Shaver (Page 7)
Shaver expresses concern over the public's "disinterest" in the UFO phenomenon, comparing it to ignoring unpleasant realities like insects. He suggests that UFOs are part of a deliberate "invasion" orchestrated by an immense organization, possibly using a "telepathic augmentive device" (TELAUG) to influence human minds and government officials. Shaver posits that UFOs gather information from human minds and that Earth's advanced technology was once derived from extraterrestrial sources.

UFOs and ESP (Continued on Page 8)
This section likely continues the discussion from Binder's article, further exploring the mental contact aspect of UFO encounters.

The UFOs themselves are accepted (Page 8)
This part of Shaver's article discusses the difficulty of gaining official acceptance for UFO data, attributing it to the influence of the TELAUG. He argues that leaders are "murdered regularly" because they might challenge this imposed "mind slavery." Shaver emphasizes the importance of "freedom of mind" and the need to understand TELAUGs to truly comprehend the UFO invasion.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of OUTERMOST are UFO sightings, extraterrestrial contact, psychic phenomena (ESP), and the potential for hidden influences or control over human society. The editorial stance, as stated on page 2, is that the opinions expressed are those of the writers and that the reader is the ultimate judge. The magazine seems to advocate for an open mind and a willingness to explore unconventional ideas about the universe and humanity's place within it. There is a strong undercurrent of concern about potential threats, whether from extraterrestrial forces or hidden control mechanisms like the "telaug."

This issue of Outermost magazine, identified as issue number 9, focuses on the intersection of UFO phenomena with spirituality, societal implications, and historical evidence. The content is primarily in English and appears to be from the late 1960s or early 1970s, given the references to 1969 magazine articles and events from the 1940s through the late 1960s.

Articles

A CHALLENGE TO SPIRITUAL LEADERS by George Adamski

Adamski argues that the enigma of interplanetary visitations is a universal issue that requires the attention of the world's great religions. He believes that if these religions unite, it will lead to greater unity among people, transcending minor differences in creed and dogma. He asserts that the Church has a duty to proclaim the reality of these visitations, which would foster a reverent attitude and allow for more information to be shared by 'Space Brothers.' Adamski cites religious texts, such as the Lord's Prayer and the concept of 'many mansions' in the Father's house, as evidence supporting the possibility of beings coming from other worlds. He warns that humanity is at a crossroads, facing either becoming a great, enduring civilization with the help of these visitors or annihilating itself through atomic conflict. He places the responsibility on spiritual leaders to bring forth this truth.

THE INVADERS by Tony Kimery

Kimery discusses the real-life parallels to the TV series 'The Invaders,' suggesting that the show's plots were not mere fiction but reflected actual events. He claims that people involved with the show, including actor Roy Thinnes, were threatened by 'Men in Black' for delving too deeply into the truth. Thinnes himself is quoted as saying there is 'more truth behind the TV plots than most people realize.' Kimery recounts Thinnes's personal experience of witnessing a UFO in the Arizona desert, which inspired his role. The article suggests that the show was taken off the air due to 'strict orders' because it was too close to the truth.

BEWARE TRIANGULAR SPACESHIPS by John W. Dean

Dean reports on a sighting of a triangular spaceship by five 9th-grade students in Hutchinson, Kansas, on November 14, 1967. The object was described as triangular with straight sides, windows showing red and green lights, and windows. It moved slowly and then disappeared. The report notes that other witnesses also saw the ship. Robert Renaud, a representative of the Korendians, identified the ship as being of 'Omegan origin,' dangerous, and advised avoiding them. The article mentions that the Reno County Sheriff's department, Hutchinson police, and FAA disavowed knowledge of the UFO. It also details other sightings in the Hutchinson area, including a flock of nine unique ships and a hovering object.

INTERVENTION AND NON-INTERVENTION by Ronald Anstee

Anstee addresses the concepts of intervention and non-intervention in the UFO phenomenon. He argues that vital issues, such as where UFOs come from, why they are here, and humanity's relationship with other intelligent beings, are often overlooked in favor of focusing on sightings. Anstee states that humanity is not alone and is bound by universal laws. He challenges the idea that 'friends up top' will not interfere, using the analogy of a father intervening when a child plays with fire. He believes that higher intelligences are watching and may be forced to intervene if humanity continues on a destructive path, particularly concerning atomic weapons, as Earth's fate is intertwined with theirs.

TWO UNIVERSES by Joan Howard

Howard presents a dualistic view of the universe, divided into Positive and Negative forces, which applies to all matter and energy. She states that humans are given charge over Earth and have the choice to use resources positively or negatively, with the latter being 'his own funeral.' Howard observes that many individuals are unconsciously tuned into lower vibrations, leading to negative UFO sightings and communications. She references a psychologist, Zolar, who suggests that some are aware of existence while others 'lead a beware existence.'

THE NEGATIVE FORCE by Ziofran

Ziofran discusses the ongoing work of 'Positive Light Intelligences' despite the 'frightened sheep-minded confused thinking' of the negative majority. He emphasizes that understanding these concepts requires raising one's vibrational level by shedding negative concepts and fears. He asserts that a powerful Negative force is gripping the planet in both visible and invisible forms and that humanity has attracted this 'monstrous dark thing' through its unwillingness to learn. Ziofran urges readers to close the door to Darkness and open their minds to the Light to achieve their goals.

HUMANS, HUMANOIDS & UFOS by Kenneth Larson

Larson explores the origins of humans and their potential connection to UFOs and ancient civilizations. He discusses the San Luis Rey skull, estimated to be 7.5 million years old, and 'eoliths' found in Texas dating back 20-30 million years, suggesting humans may have been in America long before appearing in Africa, Asia, or Europe. He references the 'Colorado Project' and the Condon Report, noting its perceived failure to provide clear answers. Larson suggests that cosmic collisions may have caused large-scale destruction and gaps in ancient history. He also mentions the possibility of early humans being introduced to Earth, linking UFOs to ancient phenomena like 'circles of fire' over Egypt and a hovering object in France.

Japanese Legends and UFOs

This section discusses Japanese legends of unknown aerial objects landing in ancient times, with occupants teaching agriculture. It speculates on a possible connection between these ancient sightings and modern UFO reports. Several sightings from the late 19th and mid-20th centuries are detailed, including a cigar-shaped object over San Francisco in 1896, sightings in Corning, California, in 1960 and 1967, and the famous Maury Island event of 1947, where Kenneth Arnold reported bright objects and metal pieces were dropped.

The Maury Island Event and Related Sightings

The Maury Island event is described, involving Kenneth Arnold's sighting of bright objects. The article notes controversy surrounding the event. It also details sightings in the Maury Island area in 1967, where animals reportedly became 'crazy.' The text links these UFOs to electromagnetism, citing cases where they hovered over electrical stations and power lines.

The Condon Project and Scientific Explanations

Armanda A. Laprade discusses the UFO enigma, noting that twenty-three years after Kenneth Arnold's sighting, people continue to see flying saucers. She criticizes the Air Force's investigation for confusing the public and mentions the official AF statement denying UFOs as extraterrestrial or representing advanced technology. Laprade discusses the Condon Project, headed by Edward U. Condon, as a scientific evaluation that ultimately proved to be a 'fiasco.' She highlights that the VFON reported 20 Unidentified Flying Objects between 1962 and 1967. The article also presents a scientific theory from Dr. Robert S. Powell suggesting that UFOs might be a freakish physical phenomenon created by igniting ammonia vapor, resulting in glowing gas that assumes a disc shape and exhibits behaviors similar to UFOs.

UFO Articles in National Magazines - 1969

This section provides a comprehensive list of UFO-related articles published in various national magazines throughout 1969, including titles, authors, and publication dates. It covers a wide range of topics from 'Saucer's End' in TIME to 'How Life in Outer Space is Trying to Contact Us' in NAT. ENQ.

Advertisements and Book Offers

The issue includes advertisements for UFO-related books and magazines, such as 'THE UFO SPOTTER,' 'THE TOPSTONE,' and offerings from 'FLYING SAUCER NEWS BOOKSTORE' and 'E.S.P.' magazine.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation, their connection to spirituality and religion, and the potential implications for humanity's future. There is a strong undercurrent of skepticism towards official government explanations and a belief that vital truths are being suppressed or ignored. The editorial stance appears to advocate for a more open and spiritual approach to understanding UFO phenomena, urging spiritual leaders and the public to confront the reality of these events and their potential to either elevate humanity or lead to its destruction. The articles collectively suggest that UFOs are a significant phenomenon with profound implications that cannot be dismissed by conventional science or governmental bodies.

This issue of "OUTERMOST" magazine, identified as issue number 19, delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, personal encounters, and speculative theories surrounding extraterrestrial intelligence. The content spans personal testimonies, scientific opinions, and a comprehensive directory of worldwide UFO clubs and publications.

Articles and Features

The UFOs and the Future

The issue opens with a discussion on UFOs, suggesting they might be conducting an aerial survey of Earth, possibly due to advanced knowledge of its origins and history. The possibility of a "Higher Intelligence" being behind these phenomena is raised, with speculation that UFOs might possess advanced scientific knowledge. The article also touches upon the potential awareness of UFOs regarding global threats, such as the predicted nuclear capabilities of Communist China in the early 1970s.

Notable Sightings and Encounters

Several specific incidents are detailed:

• 1961: A UFO reportedly disrupted electrical instruments controlling missiles.
• April 24, 1949: Scientists at White Sands, New Mexico, tracked a high-flying UFO moving at seven miles per second.
• November 3, 1957: Military patrols spotted a UFO near atomic bunkers.
• April 24, 1964: Policeman Lonnie Zamora reported seeing a UFO on the ground near Socorro, New Mexico, and witnessing two small beings enter it.
• September 26, 1968: Doris Fickelsher of Angola, New York, reported an encounter with a bright, circular object that communicated through light signals, responding to her attempts at communication.
• The Sierra Chica Case: An experienced farmer's son, Oscar Iriart, from near Olavarria, Argentina, reported a telepathic encounter with two beings who directed him to a flying saucer. The incident involved a water-repellent envelope and three indentations found at the landing site.

Scientific and Cultural Perspectives

James McDonald, a scientist at the University of Arizona, is quoted suggesting UFOs are conducting an aerial survey and that evidence of an extraterrestrial race may have already been discovered. Dr. Edward Teller, an atomic scientist, is cited as calling UFOs a "scientific miracle." The article notes the growing public interest in UFOs, with a Gallup poll indicating millions of Americans have seen flying saucers.

The Case for George Adamski

This section examines the claims of George Adamski, a prominent contactee. It presents a sighting by Jennie Roestenberg in England, describing occupants with "transparent helmets and turquoise blue ski suits." The article draws parallels between Adamski's descriptions of space and lunar landscapes in his book "Inside the Space Ships" and findings from the LUNA 9 and SURVEYOR missions, as well as John Glenn's orbital flight observations of "fireflies" in space. Adamski's photographs are discussed, with an expert stating they could not be faked. Various other sightings and photographs of Adamski-type craft are mentioned.

The Reality of UFOs (Kenneth Larson)

Leading Soviet scientists are reported to believe UFOs are directed by highly intelligent minds conducting a survey of Earth. An intensive UFO observation center was established in Moscow in October 1967. Dr. James E. McDonald is quoted stating that American scientists are 20 years behind in UFO study, calling it the "greatest scientific problem of our time." The article contrasts the Soviet stance with the U.S. Air Force's assertion that UFOs do not exist and notes the University of Colorado's research group released a largely negative report.

We Are Not Alone (John W. Dean)

This article presents information received from a telepathic contact named Oriel of Venus, detailing the existence of 85 "Alliance-Federation-type" groups of planets in the Milky Way galaxy. It estimates the galaxy contains 8.5 million stars and 80 million planets, with 5 million belonging to these Federations. The article provides a list of nine prominent star systems within the Alliance, including their planets, populations, and major cities, such as Alandra (Arcturus), Korender (Korena), and Alitra (Procyon). It estimates a total population of two sextillion people in the universe, concluding "So we are not alone!"

Featured Articles and Content

STRANGE TRANSFORMATION

This article, written by Hans Lauritzen, details a personal experience of a UFO contact that occurred in the woods. The author describes a telepathic conversation where he offered help to the UFOs, only to have his consciousness blacked out, resulting in a loss of approximately 45 minutes. Following this, he experienced confusion, a feeling of something being done to his brain and spine, and the appearance of scars. He posits that the UFOs are not acting out of love or respect for human integrity, but rather have their own agenda, potentially involving the control of human beings. He expresses a strong desire to reveal the truth, even at personal risk, and mentions the concept of 'spacepeople' who he believes are individuals treated or influenced by UFOs.

CRITTERS 'NEATH THE CRATERS

Authored by Rev. Guy J. Cyr, S.M., this piece explores theories about UFOs originating from the moon. It references astrophysicists' theories about the moon's hollowness, supported by seismic data and gravitational anomalies observed by lunar orbiters. The author suggests that deep caverns within the moon could create gravitational effects similar to mass concentrations. The article also touches upon the non-dynamic energy poured by UFOs into human beings and electrical systems, which can impair electron dynamics and cause blackouts. It advises staying away from electrical equipment and moving to the countryside. The author warns of a dangerous invasion of unknown entities and suggests that sound-based weapons might be the only defense against UFOs.

THE PRINCE OF ATLANTIS

This section is an advertisement for a reprinted book titled "THE PRINCE OF ATLANTIS." It is described as an exotic and enlightening novel about ancient Atlantis, embracing truth about its culture and spiritual teachings, and drawing parallels with modern civilizations.

AN ART PORTFOLIO

This section features artwork by Gene Duplantier. Two illustrations are presented: one depicting a Sphinx-like head with glasses in front of Egyptian pyramids, and another showing a futuristic landscape with flying saucers, advanced structures, and figures observing the scene.

WE'LL NEVER CATCH THEM

Written by Armand A. Laprade, this article draws parallels between ghosts and UFOs, suggesting they share similar characteristics, including invisibility and the ability to cause poltergeist activity. The author notes the U.S. Ghost Force's closure of its investigation into ghosts due to a lack of evidence. He discusses the pervasive curiosity surrounding both phenomena and the confusion that often arises. The article questions the origins and intentions of UFOs and suggests that fear is a driving force behind human-created madness, such as H-bombs. The author also reflects on his own role in the creation of 'flying saucers' and the difficulty in fully understanding or catching them. He mentions the concept of viruses and their interaction with the environment, drawing a parallel to his own experience with a cold.

THE LONELY PLACE

This section presents a condensed chapter from the forthcoming book "THE SILVER BRIDGE" by Gray Barker. It recounts an experience of Roger Scarberry and his wife Mary, along with Steve Mallette, in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. They describe an encounter with a creature they identify as Mothman, characterized by its tall, waddling form, wings, and glowing red eyes that seemed to have a hypnotic effect. The narrative details their fear and their subsequent flight from the area. The description of the creature and the witnesses' reactions are presented as a direct account.

BRITISH UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION (BUFORA)

This section provides information about BUFORA, highlighting its role as a leading UFO investigation and research organization in Great Britain. It mentions their headquarters in London, a research section in Nottingham, and an Investigations Coordination centre in Camberley, Surrey. BUFORA covers major UFO reports in Great Britain through member societies and volunteer investigators, with reports analyzed by scientific experts and ufologists. Their publications include the 'Journal of the BUFORA' and 'Research Bulletin.' The section also lists skywatch dates and lecture/discussion meetings.

The articles present a mix of personal testimony, theoretical exploration, and investigative reporting. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, with a particular focus on UFOs and their potential impact on humanity, ranging from direct encounters to broader societal implications. The inclusion of articles like 'Strange Transformation' and 'We'll Never Catch Them' suggests a critical perspective on the nature of UFO interactions and the motivations behind them, while 'Critters 'Neath the Craters' delves into more speculative theories about UFO origins. The 'Mothman' account adds a classic cryptid encounter to the mix.

Title: SAUCER NEWS
Publisher: SAUCER AND UNEXPLAINED CELESTIAL EVENTS RESEARCH SOCIETY
Issue: 39
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This issue of SAUCER NEWS delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, book reviews, and eyewitness accounts. A significant portion is dedicated to Gray Barker's new book, "THE SILVER BRIDGE," which is presented as a major literary and research achievement.

"The Silver Bridge" by Gray Barker

The editorial, "From the Desk of JAMES W. MOSELEY," introduces Gray Barker and his new book, "THE SILVER BRIDGE." Moseley expresses his strong admiration for the book, calling it a "fascinating literary achievement" and a "major research and literary achievement." He notes that Barker, usually modest, feels this is his best work. The book is described as being written for readers already knowledgeable about UFOs, Psychic, and Occult phenomena, avoiding the need to "talk down" to the audience.

While the book's title references the collapse of the Point Pleasant, West Virginia bridge in 1967, which killed nearly 50 people, it is primarily about "MOTHMAN." The book chronicles numerous sightings of a large, bird-like creature that terrorized the Ohio Valley, chasing cars at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. It also touches upon strange events preceding the bridge collapse, possibly linked to the 200-year curse of Chief Cornstalk.

Moseley highlights that Barker's new book contains "fascinating, readable accounts of strange, inexplicable events" and that it expresses a theory about saucer origin and purpose that Moseley himself believes "solves most of the saucer mystery." However, Barker has refused to discuss this particular facet with Moseley.

Marketing Plans for "The Silver Bridge":

Barker submitted the manuscript to a national paperback firm, which was interested but wanted to shorten and "water down" the book for the general public, deeming some content "too frightening" or "too controversial." Barker faced a dilemma but reached an agreement: a condensed paperback version would be released in 1971, while he would privately publish a complete, unexpurgated edition for his faithful readers. This limited edition, bound in deluxe hardcover, will have only 2,000 copies printed.

The retail price for the limited hardcover edition is set at $10.00 or higher. A special advance reservation price of $6.95 is offered for a limited time to readers, with a money-back guarantee from Jim Moseley. The offer is limited to one copy per customer.

Eyewitness Account: Mothman Encounter

Pages 1-2 recount a harrowing experience involving a creature described as having "animal eyes" and being "six or seven feet tall." The witnesses, Roger, Steve, Linda, and Mary, were in a car when they encountered the entity. Roger initially dismissed it as a bird, but Steve described it as resembling an "evil angel." The car's battery died, forcing them to push it downhill to escape. During their escape, they saw the creature again, described as having wings that "came up and turned down" and wrapped around it. They noted its large eyes (two inches in diameter, six to eight inches apart) and muscular legs.

Steve described the fear as pervasive, making his mind go blank. He felt the presence of the creature following them at incredible speed. The experience was likened to a "dream -- a bad dream."

"Flying Crescents - Then and Now" by Rey D'Aquila

This article discusses reports from Dr. Felix Ziegel of crescent-shaped UFOs observed over northern regions of the USSR in 1967. These UFOs were described as bright, flying crescents, with sharp outer contours and vague inner contours. Flames or sparks were seen emanating from one horn, and they were sometimes accompanied by disc-shaped objects and objects shining like stars, suggesting formation flight. Kazan astronomers estimated the crescent's diameter at 500-600 meters and its speed at 18,000 km/hour, significantly faster than a Boeing 747.

The article also examines ancient depictions of flying crescents, specifically cave paintings from the Jabaran Valley in Tassili, Sahara. These paintings show a flying crescent with a human figure and a bull, interpreted as a greeting to a spaceship. The ship is depicted as black, while the human and bull are dimly outlined, emphasizing the ship's importance. The characteristics of this ancient ship are compared to modern UFO descriptions, including forcefield radiation, jets, and a bell-shape when viewed on its edge.

"The Projectionists" by Richard S. Shaver

Shaver's article explores the idea that many UFO sightings are merely "projections," similar to how ghosts are explained as projection work. He posits that genuine UFOs might be present but hidden among these projections. Shaver links these projection mechanisms to "pre-deluge" civilizations and ancient devices found in buried cities. He suggests that the flood supply of these ancient civilizations, protected by mud flows, forms the basis of underground livelihood. Shaver concludes that UFO phenomena are intrinsically linked to his "Shaver cavern theories," which he considers facts rather than theories.
