Increasing UFO Activity in Nottinghamshire

The lead article details a perceptible increase in UFO activity in the Nottingham area, ranging from Mansfield to more localized reports over Nottingham City. Mr. Neil Cairns of Langwith provided video footage of 'Lights In The Sky' (LITS) activity, showing a glowing circle with a flat spot on top. While the video had technical shortcomings, it confirmed the appearance of an unidentifiable light. The article also references the 'classical' video footage of a 'Flying Triangle' near Shirebrook in 1994. More recent sightings include two 'cotton reel' UFOs over Hucknall on January 7th, 2006, and a bright light accompanied by heavy vibration in Hyson Green on January 13th, 2006. A witness from Hyson Green described being awoken by a bright light and a vibration that made the entire house throb. The article concludes by urging PRA members in Nottinghamshire to remain vigilant for further reports.

Down in the Forest Something Stirred!

This section reviews photographs taken by John Hanson during a sky-watch trip to Rendlesham Forest. The presentation, given at 'The Great British UFO Show' on October 1st, 2005, focused on strange events still occurring in the forest, recalling the well-known 1980 incident involving RAF Bentwaters and USAF Woodbridge Base. The article highlights a first-hand account from Larry Warren, a former USAF Security Specialist, describing a blinding flash and a machine appearing where fog had been. Hanson's photographs are presented as evidence of ongoing strange occurrences, including a fiery light around a backpack, floating 'globes', a lone hiker pointing at something with a streak of light above, a blue inverted 'V' light, a zigzag of streaky orange light, a wavy streak of white light, and a blue wavering band of light. The article suggests these lights could indicate 'an intelligence' in the area.

Mysterious Lights Seen Over Hucknall, Notts. 7th Jan.06

This report follows up on sightings of strange orange lights over Hucknall, Nottingham. Witnesses described two 'cotton reel' shaped glowing lights with pulsating red lights at the top and bottom and a white center. The objects were described as 'sitting in the sky' and 'circling around each other'. One witness saw flames dropping from an object. The lights then zig-zagged upwards and disappeared. The report notes that small hot air balloons cannot be ruled out at this stage.

We Watch and Wait

By J.F.Rayner. This short piece discusses a NASA report of a large dust cloud rising from the Moon's surface, possibly caused by the 'Taurids' meteor shower. The author expresses that while some aspects are speculative, there are 'interesting developments' to come and wishes PRA members a Happy New Year.

Awesome Memories

This personal account by 'Paul' shares a sighting of an ET craft that went 'warp speed' from a crawl in a spectacular blaze of color, accelerating faster than the eye could follow. The author expresses awe and states that ET craft are here, and normal life is not comprehended by the average person.

Flying Triangle Seen Over Marlborough, Wilts. 30 Sept. 05

This report details a sighting by Ms. Maria Wheatley of a glowing triangle-shaped object moving slowly across the sky. The object had rows of distinctive red lights, a darkish-grey color, and rounded corners. It was observed for about three minutes. The witness noted no sound, and the weather was misty. The object appeared quite large, estimated at 5"-6" along each side at arms length. Ms. Wheatley's drawing of the object is included, showing the red lighting arrangement and rounded corners, which is noted as familiar to FT researchers.

Unearthly Encounter

By Peter Gregory. This article recounts a strange encounter in 1989 on Mablethorpe beach involving a man and his wife. They saw what they initially thought was a star, but it rapidly grew in size and brightness, hovering above them as a large electric blue sphere with multicoloured flashing lights. They experienced a terrific surge of electricity, a strong smell of ozone, and a high-pitched buzzing sound. The object then shot upwards and disappeared. The couple were left exhausted and confused, and their dog, which had vanished, reappeared. The article mentions other sightings near Mablethorpe and suggests these phenomena exist and interact with humans, though their origin remains a mystery.

Top Secret: US Navy SEAL's Cryptid Ape Video

This exclusive report, dated January 13th, 2006, details an alleged encounter by a US Navy SEAL unit in the Democratic Republic of the Congo between 1997 and 2002. The SEAL team reportedly observed and filmed thirteen 'chimpanzee-like' creatures, 4.5 to 5 feet tall, uniformly gray, with rows of porcupine-like quills. The creatures were seen killing another animal, and their quills stood erect when agitated. The video footage is reportedly classified. The article draws parallels to local legends of creatures like the 'kakundakari' and the 'kalanoro' in Madagascar, suggesting a possible connection.

Are Aliens Amongst Us?

By Leo Noury (France). This article explores the idea of aliens living amongst humans, moving beyond the concept of distant visitors. The author, who began investigating UFOs at age 13, shares experiences and research that led him to believe in aliens living in major European cities. He recounts the story of 'Mary', a witness who described seeing a tall man in a black suit with a grey, silvery, shining face and hands, who seemed non-human. Mary also experienced a strange dream of being surrounded by 'surgeons'. The article links contactees and abductees to latent or active psychic powers, citing Betty Hill as an example.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of OVNI are UFO sightings and encounters, with a particular focus on recent activity in the UK, especially Nottinghamshire. The magazine presents witness testimonies, photographic evidence, and investigative reports. There is also a strong interest in cryptids and the possibility of non-human intelligence interacting with Earth, as seen in the reports on the Rendlesham Forest photographs and the US Navy SEAL's cryptid ape video. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, encouraging readers and members to report sightings and contribute to research. The magazine aims to document and analyze these events, exploring various theories from conventional explanations to more speculative ones about aliens living among us.

This issue of OVNI magazine, dated January 2006, focuses on various aspects of UFOs, alien encounters, and related phenomena. It includes personal accounts, scientific discussions, and news updates.

Extraterrestrial Encounters and Psychic Phenomena

The issue features several accounts of close encounters and the potential influence of extraterrestrials on human abilities.

Bernadette's Experience

One account details Bernadette, a psychic from Paris, who discovered her abilities after an extraordinary experience on the Paris metro. She encountered a man who seemed to follow her and then vanished, after which her psychic powers were unleashed. The article suggests this encounter might have been a bridge between worlds for her.

Timothy Good's Encounters

UFO researcher Timothy Good shares two experiences where he suspected close encounters in ordinary public places. In one instance, at the California Arizona border in 1963, he telepathically contacted a Nordic-looking woman who confirmed she was an alien. Later, in New York City, a businessman sat beside him after Good sent out a telepathic invitation, and complied with a request to touch his nose, further suggesting an extraterrestrial presence.

The UMMO Affair

The magazine discusses the UMMO affair, acknowledging it is often dismissed as a hoax but presenting the view of some experts who believe it is a well-substantiated case. Letters from UMMO have reportedly contained high-level scientific knowledge beneficial to Earth scientists. These letters are reportedly still being received in various countries.

Aliens Among Us

The article posits that extraterrestrials may not only be visiting in spacecraft but are also living amongst humans, interacting incognito in daily life. The case of two 'Danish' doctors in Madrid in the mid-sixties, who hired a typist to transcribe a paper about their home planet UMMO, is presented as an example of such interaction. The beings were described as real, flesh-and-blood individuals.

Anne Marie and Mr. Paige

Another case involves Anne Marie, who was abducted by 'classical greys'. She received letters in an unknown symbolic language from a Mr. Paige, who had extraordinary concepts about life and a habit of disappearing without a trace. Mr. Paige's presence during Anne Marie's abduction suggests he may have been a link between her and the aliens, possibly being part of the alien phenomenon itself.

The Nature of Alien Contact

The magazine explores the idea that aliens might be influencing human society from within, drawing parallels to historical political shifts. It questions whether these interactions are for humanity's benefit or for the aliens' own purposes.

Infiltration and Influence

It is suggested that aliens might be working with humans to infiltrate society from within, subtly influencing ideas and ways of thinking. The fall of the Soviet Union is cited as an example of how internal changes, aided by external factors, can lead to the collapse of a system. This method, on a cosmic scale, could occur over millennia.

Hybrid Beings and Possession

The possibility of alien-human hybrids, created through genetic manipulation, is discussed. Furthermore, a chilling prospect is raised: that some beings who look like humans might be possessed by non-human consciousness, either spiritually or technologically. The article notes that technology for controlling minds is advancing.

Diverse Origins of Aliens

The aliens are believed to come from various sources, including other dimensions and vibratory levels, as well as physical locations in the universe. Contacts are not rare and appear to affect a significant portion of the human race, with those possessing psychic powers having a higher chance of encounters.
