Magazine Overview

Title: OVNI
Issue: May/June 2006
Volume: 50/2
Publisher: Journal of the Phenomenon Research Association
Tagline: The Journal for the discerning researcher

This issue of OVNI delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena, with a strong emphasis on 'Flying Triangle' (FT) sightings and abduction cases. It also explores intriguing reports from the Moon and discusses a predicted comet impact scare.

Could This Be the Last Issue of the OVNI?

The issue opens with a question about its potential finality, dated May 25, 2006, referred to as 'the Day of Destiny'.

Comet Impact Scare

An article details a study by Eric Julien, a former French military air traffic controller, concerning comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann. Julien predicted that a fragment of the comet was highly likely to impact Earth around May 25, 2006. He described a vision of a truck-sized object striking the Earth with immense kinetic energy, crossing the atmosphere and oceanic depths to reach the mid-Atlantic rift, potentially causing underwater volcanoes to erupt and heat the sea to boiling point. However, a quote from Don Yeomans, head of NASA's Near Earth Object Program at JPL, reassures that there is no danger of collision, stating the closest fragments would be about six million miles away.

The 'Flying Triangle' Features Extensively in This Issue

The journal highlights the increasing interest in 'Flying Triangle' craft and their reports. It contrasts the current situation with the late 1960s when UFO information was sparse, noting the discovery of various UFO types over the years. 'Flying Triangles' are specifically mentioned as taking an interest in Nuclear Power Stations and military establishments. The issue introduces Bill Foster, an abductee and author, whose experiences are recounted in his book 'The Black Triangle Abduction'. The purpose of the aliens operating these FT craft is unknown, but it is suggested they are creating a Hybrid Alien/Human race. Bill Foster's quote, “They are not here for our benefit!”, underscores a potentially ominous aspect of these encounters.

'Flying Triangle' Seen Over Nottingham - 5 April 06

A concerned UFO witness named 'David' reported observing a black 'Flying Triangle' flying at high speed over Nottingham. The craft was described as triangular, fast, silent, with no lights and "almost perfectly rounded corners," possessing depth rather than being a flat sheet. It was estimated to be at a height of several thousand feet.

Mysterious Craft Seen Over Bracknell, Berks. - 1 Feb.06

Local residents reported an unusual flying object over Bracknell, described as dark, round, with a dome and attached legs. It was seen gliding slowly at about 10mph at a height of 100ft. The object was too large to be a balloon and did not move like one. A power cut in the area earlier that morning raised questions about a possible connection to the sighting. A similar craft was reportedly caught on video over Mexico City on June 17th, 2005.

Mysteries of the Moon

By Simon Lewis, this article explores the possibility that the Moon is not a 'dead body' as commonly believed. It references historical observations of unusual events on the Moon's surface over the last 500 years, termed 'Chronological Reported Lunar Events'. These include red spots, clouds, and strange lights observed around craters like Plato and Aristachus. A NASA Technical Report TR R-277 is mentioned as providing evidence of lunar activities. The article notes that Lunar missions may have captured unusual pictures that were not widely publicized. Examples include observations of what appear to be Cirrocumulus Clouds in the crater Vitello and Mare Imbrium, suggesting a warm frontal system or gas release/ice melting. The Aristachus area alone has over 300 reports of unusual activity. The article also recounts conversations from the Apollo 11 and Apollo 16 missions, where astronauts reported unusual illumination and a black glass layer on a rock, respectively. It concludes by stating that the Moon is not a dead body and mentions the recent announcement of ice found on the Moon by the Clementine probe, suggesting that more information is being withheld.

Apollo 11 Conversation Excerpt:

Armstrong reports looking towards Aristachus and seeing an area "considerably more illuminated" with a "slight amount of fluorescence." Aldrin confirms seeing a wall of the crater that is "more illuminated." Collins notes "no colour involved."

Apollo 16 Conversation Excerpt:

Duke asks about another peak, and Capcon directs him. Duke mentions crossing F-11 at 15". Young reports picking up a "white rock" with a "black glass layer on the back of it, a thick black glass." Capcom mentions a flash seen on the side of Descartes.

Mysterious Lights Over Shirebrook, Mansfield, Notts.

Neil Cairns reported a series of mysterious lights visible from his home in February 2006. He succeeded in photographing one of these lights, described as an orange light. The report mentions a spectacular FT encounter in nearby Shirebrook on August 23, 1994, where an FT hovered and then 'blinked' out as two unidentified helicopters approached. Neil's photographs show a light in his garden, and an enlargement is provided. He also caught the light on video, which appears to change position, and it is classified as an unidentified light (UFO-LITS).

The Black Triangle Abduction

By Omar Fowler, this section reviews the book 'The Black Triangle Abduction' by Bill Foster, Peggy Foster, and Nadine Wheeler. The book details the abduction of four people in North Carolina in November 1996 by a Black Flying Triangle. The reviewer found the book fascinating and exchanged information with Bill Foster. The book describes examinations by small, gray aliens, often led by a larger alien. Procedures can include removal of sperm or ovum samples, scoops from skin, or injections. Examinations are described as unpleasant and last 15-45 minutes. Abductees may have their clothing replaced incorrectly. Some report tours of spacecraft or 'lessons' consisting of visual depictions of past and future events. Bill Foster's own abduction experiences, starting from a young age, are discussed, with the aliens reportedly suspending time and stating that "time was not relative to them."

Abduction of Miss 'MF'

A detailed account of an abduction case involving 'Miss MF' (32) from North Yorkshire in July 1996 is presented. While reading in a field, she witnessed a large, black triangular craft overhead with white lights at each corner. A blue light beam enveloped her, and she felt herself being lifted rapidly. She then found herself in a bright white room with strange, translucent white beings, one of whom appeared to be in charge and communicated telepathically, inducing a feeling of euphoria. Upon waking, she was back in the field, her watch had stopped, and she had a rash. She experienced severe headaches, nosebleeds, and later developed a form of epilepsy and M.E. Miss MF also reported seeing UFO craft since age 6, having visions of devastation, and becoming more artistic with an interest in healing and environmental issues.

Flying Triangle Postscript

This section references an investigation by Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer of the Royal Belgian Air Force into flights of flying triangles over the Ardennes. The conclusion was that anomalous phenomena had occurred within Belgian airspace, suggesting unauthorized aerial activities but noting no aggressiveness. The report anticipates future technological means of detection. The section also mentions 'The Filers Files' and the rumored TR-3B (Black Triangle) aircraft, described as a top-secret US Air Force craft capable of speeds exceeding Mach 9, propelled by multimode thrusters, and estimated to be 600ft across. The TR-3B is said to have flown from Groom Lake in silence and hovered over Area S-4.

More Mars Photographs to Ponder

This section presents images from the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission, taken on March 26, 2004. One image shows what appears to be green vegetation. Another mining photo of Mars is compared to the Barrick Goldstrike Mine in Nevada. A mountain composed of bright, layered material is identified as being made of sulphate deposits. A symbol on a mining sign is interpreted as possibly meaning YHWH, "to create."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, particularly 'Flying Triangles', alien abductions, and unexplained phenomena on the Moon. The journal adopts a stance of open inquiry, presenting witness testimonies, research findings, and book reviews while encouraging further investigation and questioning official narratives. There is a consistent implication that significant information regarding these phenomena is being withheld from the public.

Title: The Evening Sky
Issue: May 2006
Publisher: OVNI
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of 'The Evening Sky' provides a celestial guide for May 2006, covering astronomical phenomena, planetary movements, and notable UFO sightings. It also touches upon the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence and historical UFO reports.

Astronomical Observations for May 2006

The Sun begins May in the constellation of Aries and moves into Taurus. The vernal equinox, traditionally marking the start of the zodiac in Aries, now astronomically falls in Pisces due to the zodiac's annual slippage of about one degree every seventy-two years caused by Earth's precession. This precession has led to the recognition of thirteen zodiac signs, with Ophiuchus, the Healer or Serpent Bearer, being the thirteenth.

A Full Moon is scheduled for Saturday, May 13, occurring in Libra. During a Full Moon, the Moon rises at sunset, remains visible all night, and sets at sunrise.

Mercury will be behind the Sun for most of May, but will become visible just above the western horizon after sunset towards the end of the month, though it may be difficult to spot in the twilight.

Venus is described as a brilliant 'Morning Star' visible low in the east at dawn. It rises less than an hour before the Sun and is bright enough to be seen even in daylight if one knows where to look.

Mars is moving eastwards through Gemini towards Saturn. Jupiter is moving slowly northwest in Libra. On May 4, Jupiter will be opposite the Sun, rising in the southeast as the Sun sets. This period also marks Jupiter's closest approach to Earth, with its four major moons observable through binoculars.

Saturn is observed moving slowly southeast in Cancer in the western sky after sunset.

The latter half of May is highlighted as a good time to look for Noctilucent Clouds (NLCs). These are beautiful, high-altitude clouds that form for a few weeks around midsummer. Being over 50 miles high, they remain illuminated by the Sun even at midnight. Unlike typical low-altitude clouds made of water droplets, NLCs are formed of tiny ice-crystals and have a sharply defined, often rippled structure, appearing as a clear, blue-white light. The best viewing time for NLCs is late May, around 11:30 PM to midnight.

The author, Walter Berg, shares a personal reflection on returning from the English Lake District, where clear skies offered splendid views of the heavens, emphasizing the value of visiting locations away from light pollution to connect with nature and the cosmos.

UFO Sightings and Reports

The issue features several reports of unidentified aerial phenomena:

• Charleston AFB, SC, USA (October 21, 2004): Daniel Wilson reported observing about eight white lights blinking in a large triangle formation. As the formation moved towards the Air Force base, it changed direction and headed towards the flight line. Shortly after, a solid red circular light emerged from the same area and moved towards the observer. This red light vanished instantly when fighter jets took off. The observer noted the unusual timing of the jet activity and the subsequent emptiness of the sky.
• Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA (January 6, 1953): A 'FT' (Fast Transient) UFO was sighted for over two hours from two points in the Dallas, Texas area. The object was delta-shaped with a large round opening in the center, changing color from orange to red. Its nose section was bluish-green, wings brilliant white, and tail section fuzzy, changing color. Radar at Oklahoma City Municipal Airport confirmed contact and estimated its speed at 600 MKPH. The object hovered, made a slight curve, and then ascended straight up, disappearing among the stars. The observers were identified as Aircraft Traffic Controllers M. F. Fechenbach and Wyle V. Moore.
• East of Tucson, Arizona, USA (June 16, 1950): Lt. Col. Santini, flying a C-47, observed an equilateral triangle-shaped object fly past his plane at an estimated 700 MPH.
• Rockville, Indiana, USA (July 22, 1952): Three men from the 782 ACW Squadron observed a triangular-shaped object, approximately the size of a C-54 aircraft, with a single triangular fin. It flew at an altitude of 500 to 1000 feet at about 60 MPH, hovered for half a minute, and then moved north. The observation lasted approximately three minutes.
• Skegness, UK (January 19, 2006): An observer reported seeing an odd formation of stars in a triangle formation that rotated, grew to a bright blue glow, and moved east at high speed, disappearing within 20 seconds. The observer, an aerospace engineer, noted its high altitude and unusual maneuvering.

SETI and Extraterrestrial Intelligence

A new optical telescope, the first dedicated SETI telescope, has opened at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the US. Designed to detect light signals from alien civilizations, it will conduct a year-round survey of the Milky Way. Bruce Betts of the Planetary Society suggests that sending laser signals across the cosmos is a logical way for extraterrestrial intelligence to communicate. The telescope, with a 1.8m primary mirror, is funded by the Planetary Society and other foundations. It performs one trillion measurements per second and expands sky coverage significantly. Paul Horowitz, the project director, highlights its advanced custom processors and detectors capable of detecting billionth-of-a-second flashes of light.

General Douglas MacArthur's Prediction

The issue includes a quote from General Douglas MacArthur, stated in 1955: "The nations of Earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets."

Colonel Corso and Roswell

Colonel Corso's comments from a 'Paulo Harris' video are mentioned, referencing his study of the Roswell Aliens. He described them as having four lobes in their brain, no vocal chords, no food or water canals, and no need for oxygen, suggesting they did not breathe air.

Upcoming Events

Details are provided for the next PRA meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, May 30th, at the Royal British Legion in Allenton, Derby, commencing at 8 PM. The meeting will include a video presentation on 'The Day After Roswell' and 'UFO's, Lies & The Cold War', along with a UFO book raffle.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently covers astronomical events, particularly those related to the evening sky, and features a strong focus on UFO sightings and reports from various locations and time periods. There is an underlying interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, as evidenced by the coverage of SETI and historical UFO cases. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting reports and expert opinions without explicit skepticism, and encouraging readers to observe the night sky. The inclusion of historical reports and predictions from figures like General MacArthur suggests a broader interest in the implications of UFO phenomena and potential future scenarios.
