OVNI - 1993 03 - March

Magazine Overview

This issue of OVNI, the newsletter of the Phenomenon Research Association (PRA), is dated March 1993. The cover features a stylized depiction of a flying saucer, multiple circular objects, and what appears to be the Nazca lines, along with the magazine title and date. The newsletter is priced at £1 and is free to members.

Stranger and Stranger

This section, written by the Group Leader Omar Fowler, introduces the PRA's recent activities, which have gained recognition due to local press publicity. The organization has received numerous telephone calls and conducted interviews, uncovering various strange stories, not all of which are directly connected to UFOs. Several of these incidents are presented in this issue for reader interest.

Triangular Lights Seen Near Willington

A witness, referred to as 'Brian', a self-employed aircraft spotter from West Hallam near Ilkeston, reported an encounter in November of the previous year. While driving on the A5132 near Willington, he observed a configuration of lights resembling two pyramid-shaped triangles, staggered and appearing as a single entity. He estimated the object to be between 500 to 1000 feet high and approximately 100 feet long. Initially, he considered it might be a large aircraft due to its size, expecting noise. However, he noted the complete absence of sound. The lights were not typical aircraft navigation lights (red, green, white strobes) or landing lights. Brian described how the lights maintained pace with his car, ruling out reflections from other vehicles or the road. He pulled over to investigate, but the object had vanished by the time he stopped. The incident is noted to have occurred approximately 8 miles south of the Garry Stapleton sighting of a 'Flying Triangle' at Breadsall on 11-11-92, highlighting similarities.

Leonard H. Stringfield

This section focuses on the work of American UFO investigator and author Leonard H. Stringfield. The PRA has obtained two of his recent publications, 'Status Report 111' and 'IV'. These reports allegedly contain new revelations, including information about the shooting of an alien ('Gray') on an American Air Base on January 18, 1978. The alien's body was reportedly cordoned off by security police and transported to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Stringfield's extensive background in UFO organizations, including MUFON, is detailed, along with his involvement in projects like the University of Colorado UFO Project and his advisory role to Sir Eric Gairy of Grenada. A letter to the PRA reveals Stringfield's contact with a US scientist who claims to have interrogated a live alien in the 1970s. His book, 'UFO Crash/Retrievals, The Inner Sanctum' (Status Report V1), is mentioned, priced at $18.50 plus $6.00 airmail.

Abstract from Status Report IV

This abstract summarizes new testimonial evidence and a document from 'Status Report IV'. It concerns an informant, an Air Force Security Police sergeant at McGuire AFB, who provided substantive information about a fatal encounter on January 18, 1978, involving an alleged alien entity and a Ft. Dix MP. The sergeant witnessed the slain entity on an abandoned runway at McGuire AFB and faced involvement with various agencies after disclosing information. Communications with the source since 1980 and efforts to verify the case are ongoing.

More Thoughts from Jeff Whitear

Jeff Whitear discusses the concept of energy forms, particularly focusing on Earth's and Solar energy phenomena. He suggests that the pyramid shape might be a way to utilize a constant, low-level energy flow, potentially reversing direction at sunset and sunrise, to preserve organic matter by removing moisture and preventing decomposition. He cites examples of animals found dehydrated in pyramids and the preservation of food. He also mentions the effect of moisture removal on razor blades becoming sharper. The article is accompanied by a photo of crop circles at Wanborough, Surrey, from Summer 1992.

A Strange Night Encounter

This is an anecdotal story from the mid-sixties about a hitchhiking experience. The witness and a companion were dropped off in the middle of the countryside at night. A car stopped, and the driver, who claimed to have a skin complaint and wore a 'plastic suit' that covered his body, offered them a ride. He stated he couldn't feel the outside temperature. After driving them part of the way, he dropped them off. As the car drove away, it turned a corner, took off into the air, and vanished. The witness later discovered an airfield nearby, though its location and type were unknown.

Making a Mandelbrot Pictogram

Pat Delgado, co-author of 'Circular Evidence', expresses concern about the direction the world is taking and believes changes will come from a 'higher level'. He presents an article on how to create a Mandelbrot pictogram, specifically the heart shape, using simple tools like paper, pencil, ruler, pins, and dowling. The method involves using a lanyard and cylinders to scribe the shape, suggesting that variations in cylinder dimensions can produce various shapes.

What of the Future?

Pat Delgado reflects on the changes in attitudes and events, particularly noting the rise of crop circles and the expansion of human thinking. He acknowledges the hoaxing element but emphasizes the enduring nature of the true crop circle phenomenon. Delgado suggests that mysterious phenomena can occur anywhere and at any time, with photography continuing to capture anomalies. He concludes by stating that a popular feeling worldwide is the expectancy of a significant or catastrophic event occurring on Earth within a few years, possibly related to shifts in the planet's energy forces or magnetic poles.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include UFO sightings (particularly triangular craft), alien encounters and alleged retrievals, and the phenomenon of crop circles. There is a clear interest in investigating and reporting on unexplained events, with a focus on witness testimony and research from figures like Leonard H. Stringfield. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various accounts and research findings without overt skepticism, while also touching upon broader philosophical and future-oriented speculations.

This issue of OVNI delves into speculative future scenarios and the ongoing discussion surrounding alien infiltration and its potential impact on human society. The content suggests a gradual release of sensitive information to the public to prevent societal collapse, while also touching upon recent geophysical events and upcoming UFO-related activities.

Speculative Future Scenarios and Alien Influence

The opening section of the magazine presents five potential future scenarios for humanity. These range from geophysical changes like the Earth's magnetic axis reorienting or developing a wobble, to environmental degradation such as the ozone layer depleting, leading to climatic changes. Societal shifts are also considered, including a large-scale depletion of social standards, wars, and famine, or conversely, a rapid increase in neighborly attitudes, love, peace, and unity, which might require 'control' by ruling bodies. The author acknowledges that these conditions could be interconnected and emphasizes that humanity is not static, progressing either upwards or downwards.

A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the ongoing 'leaked' or orchestrated information about alien entities infiltrating human societies. These entities are implicated in animal and people mutilations, abductions, mind control, and genetic engineering. The magazine posits that this information is being released in controlled doses to acclimatize the public, suggesting that a sudden revelation of the full truth could lead to disbelief, anarchy, and the collapse of society. It is proposed that human society and governmental bodies are undergoing specific and purposeful modification, accompanied by analytical surveillance, with the aim of raising human intelligence and discarding 'unnecessary' elements to create replacement entities for those in control. This extended thought suggests a future where genetically engineered beings surpass their creators, leading to a state of absolute intelligence.

Despite the speculative nature, the author maintains that 'where there is smoke there is fire' and anticipates further revelations, with the escalation of 'leaked' information continuing. The issue concludes this section with a handwritten note: 'Best Wishes, Pat'.

Tale Enders: News and Events

The 'Tale Enders' section provides a roundup of recent news and upcoming events relevant to the magazine's readership.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFOs, alien contact, and potential extraterrestrial influence on human society. There is a clear interest in unexplained phenomena, government secrecy, and the implications of advanced alien technology and intelligence. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various theories and reports while acknowledging the speculative nature of much of the content. The gradual release of information and the potential for societal transformation due to alien interaction are central concerns. The publication also serves as a community hub, informing members about recent findings, talks, and upcoming meetings, fostering a shared interest in these subjects.
