The UFO Documentary Shown on TV Channel 5, 1 Nov.06

This article reviews a TV documentary titled 'The British UFO Mystery' which focused on the work of Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the Ministry of Defence. The documentary examined a UFO sighting over British airspace on March 30/31, 1993, reported by police and military personnel. While the program presented a balanced viewpoint, it raised doubts about witness credibility, though Det.Const. Garry Hestletine emphasized that policemen are trained observers. Radar data showed an aircraft at 20,000ft, contradicting eye-witness accounts of a delta-shaped UFO at a lower altitude. Nick Pope investigated further, confirming no US involvement but questioning if the UK military had a secret stealth aircraft. The article notes that the documentary treated the 1993 incident as a 'one off', despite fifty-two 'Flying Triangle' incidents occurring in Derby between December 1994 and May 1995.

UFO Light Seen Over ‘Heanor' Derbys. 9th October 06

A witness reports a possible UFO sighting witnessed by himself and three others in Heanor, Derbyshire. While on a break, they observed a large orange light moving north to south at approximately 4-5000ft, without noise or strobes, moving at a speed comparable to other aircraft. The object split, with a smaller illuminated orange object descending, while the main object became dull and moved off. A cleaner also confirmed seeing the same sequence of events. The witness seeks enlightenment and wonders if other reports were made.

UFO Trail Over Mansfield 1st Sept.06

This section reports on unidentified flying orbs and lights seen in the Midlands. A picture from the 'CHAD' local newspaper shows a mysterious fireball that lit up the night sky over Mansfield. Mick Radford, who took the photo, described it as a spectacular sight.

Ilkeston (Derbyshire) 30 October 06 10.37pm

A resident in Ilkeston reported seeing three small orange orbs, about the size of tennis balls, passing overhead. They maintained a distance from each other and moved without noise. The witness believes they were UFOs and wonders if anyone else spotted them.

Amazing New Alien Film Footage Revealed

This article discusses a short film clip circulating on the internet that appears to show a Roswell Alien being lowered on a stretcher. The author, Omar Fowler, expresses suspicion after the 'Alien Autopsy' film fiasco but finds the scene's hustle and bustle authentic. The footage, in black and white, shows uniformed American military personnel. Details of an Alien hand are compared to those provided by the late Leonard H. Stringfield, noting differences and suggesting multiple alien species. The film also shows what appears to be footwear on the Alien's foot, suggesting a gravity field environment rather than 'floating'.

UFOs Over Derby - 9th September 06

Miss HJ reported two sightings over Derby. The first involved two bright scarlet lights moving together, appearing to be connected by an unseen craft, moving at aeroplane height but silently and at great speed. The second sighting, seven minutes later, involved a 'V' shaped arrangement of 6-7 bright scarlet lights, with a dark triangular object. The witness felt a sensation of being watched. Miss HJ had previously observed a red 'Frisbee-like disc' on September 3rd, which moved rapidly and appeared to ripple like water.

Chinese Balloons?

This brief section questions whether 'Chinese Balloons' could be responsible for an increase in 'Balls of Light' sightings in the Heanor area.

Mystery is Solved Over UFOs

A brief mention of a newspaper article by James Blount suggesting a mystery in the Ripley and Heanor area has been solved.

UFO Data Magazine & WWW.UFODATA.CO.UK Presents The second Great British UFO Show (October 21/22)

Members of the PRA attended a two-day UFO show in Leeds. The event featured presentations by the LAPIS UFO Group on local sightings and Alan Foster on Crop Circle photographs and theories, including 'lights', 'globes', bent stems, and 'burn marks'. Alan Foster also discussed 'Angels' sighted at the 9/11 disaster and their connection to the souls of victims, referencing a PRA interview with a psychic who claimed to have been shown the 9/11 disaster by Aliens. The show also included a presentation by Maurizio Biati on Col. Philip Corso ('The Day After Roswell'), with a video of an interview. Russel Callaghan, organizer and editor of UFO DATA Magazine, summed up the year's UFO activities and announced that 'UFO DATA' magazine would change to A4 format. Future speakers for the 'British UFO Show' were announced as American researcher Kevin Randle and Roswell star Dr. Jesse Marcel Jnr.

Mystery Surrounds the ‘Portsmouth” Photographs?

This article discusses mysterious UFO photographs taken by George Warner over Portsmouth, based on a letter from Ernie Sears. Sears notes that the objects are not visible to the naked eye, suggesting an 'invisible cloak' produced by alien/humanoid species. George Warner uses two digital cameras and takes numerous exposures, with only a few yielding worthwhile prints. Since August 2005, about 200 objects, including 'orbs' and triangular objects, have been photographed. The article suggests that these objects/craft/humanoids are only visible for a few seconds to those who are 'chosen', and the cameras are set for a three-second exposure. Ernie Sears himself has had spiritual events and UFO sightings.

News From New Zealand: Subject: Sth Island 'Meteor'

An airline pilot reported seeing space debris flash across southern skies, describing it as similar to a meteor but 'different', spinning and resembling debris from the Columbia space shuttle. The object had a bright light and a smoke trail. Scientists determined that a fragment found by a property owner was not radioactive. Sue Hansen provided the PRA with a DVD containing videos of sightings in the lower North Island, described as 'black triangle' sightings. The air force confirmed they were not their aircraft. The article also mentions a recent event where a suspected meteorite burst into the atmosphere, causing a sonic boom, but scientists determined that debris found was not a meteorite and could be space junk.

The 'Bob White' Story? (Continued)

This section continues the story of Bob White's UFO encounter in 1985 near Grand Junction, Colorado, where he allegedly recovered a piece of extraterrestrial metal. The material was tested extensively by multiple laboratories, including The National Institute For Discovery Science and a facility at Los Alamos. The tests showed the material was 85% pure Aluminium, with 30 different rare Earth elements, some unidentified. It produced an electrical current and was not radioactive. A document from American security services suggests a similar piece of metal was discovered in the 1940s. The origins of the material remain a mystery.

Radioactive Fallout From A Nuclear Weapons Test & The UFOs

This report by Daniel Wilson links UFO sightings to nuclear weapons testing. It details a USAF B-50 atomic test on April 22, 1952, over the Nevada Test Site, and the subsequent radioactive fallout trajectories. The article suggests that UFOs are often reported near atomic weapons plants and testing areas. It correlates specific UFO sightings with the paths of radioactive fallout. A flat, rectangular wing-like object was observed over Albuquerque, New Mexico, on April 23, 1952. Two groups of dark orange, round or oval-shaped objects were seen over Waco, Texas, on April 24, 1952. Two groups of red glowing objects were observed in Austin, Texas, on the same day. A dramatic sighting of a metallic-looking disc and other round black objects occurred in San Jose, California, on April 25, 1952. A stationary object shaped like a paper plate was seen in Royal Oak, Michigan, on April 27, 1952.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of OVNI are the detailed reporting of UFO sightings from various locations, the analysis of alleged evidence such as photographs and film footage, and the exploration of potential connections between UFO phenomena and other events like nuclear testing. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and investigation into unexplained aerial phenomena, presenting witness accounts and research findings for the reader's consideration. There is a consistent effort to cross-reference information and seek explanations, while acknowledging the mysterious nature of many events.

This issue of OVNI magazine, dated November 2006, features "Further Thoughts on Triangles & UFO's" by Bill Foster, building upon his previous book "The Black Triangle Abduction." The magazine also includes articles on potential alien craft on Mars, a discussion on climate change, and organizational news from MUFON and PRA.

Further Thoughts on Triangles & UFO's by Bill Foster

Bill Foster elaborates on his experiences with alien abduction, detailing events that occurred after his book was published. He recounts an abduction in November 1996 where he, his wife, and another couple were taken into a massive flying triangle craft. Inside, they encountered fourteen gray aliens and were floated out of their car for examination. Foster states that through regression hypnosis, he discovered he had been abducted at least thirteen times since the age of five.

Curvature and Interior Design

Foster emphasizes that all alien vessels he encountered were characterized by rounded features. Walls, decks, doorways, rooms, tables, and benches were consistently curved, with no straight edges or sharp corners. He draws a parallel to the "art deco" period of the 1950s, where rounded furniture and the use of plastic were fashionable. He describes an examination room with a seven-foot-long, seamless, rounded stainless steel table, a rounded pedestal, and a floor that appeared like granite or slate. The entire room, including the ceiling, was domed, suggesting it was made from a single, contiguous piece. Doorways were arched and led to domed hallways, with no doors present. The walls and ceilings appeared translucent, like plastic sheeting, with an internal light source.

Bright Lighting

Foster found the lighting inside the alien vessel to be intensely bright but not painful to his eyes. This lighting cast no shadows, leading him to believe it originated from multiple sources, possibly the walls and ceilings themselves. He notes that on one occasion, the aliens used a directed light from the ceiling that was extremely bright and did hurt his eyes. He speculates that the gray aliens might have sight problems, possibly due to their large eyes and the intense light conditions under which their examinations are conducted.

Size-Shifting

One of the most striking statements made by the grays was their ability to change the physical size of their ship at will, telepathically stating, "We can make this (ship) any size we want." Foster connects this to reports of UFOs, such as the 1947 Roswell crash, where witnesses described the interior of the craft as being significantly larger than its exterior suggested. He mentions abductees reporting entering small saucers that felt very large inside, with one individual's 6'2" frame having ample headroom despite the craft appearing only about five feet tall from the outside. This phenomenon is described not just as a perception issue but as a physical or dimensional difference.

Triangle Docking

Foster recalls an incident where a triangle craft docked with a station, which he was told was called a "tala" – the only alien word he heard. He witnessed the docking procedure, describing a moment of impact that caused a ripple throughout the craft and a metallic clang. This was the only time he heard a sound or felt movement within an alien vessel. He poses two questions: how there was enough time for the craft to travel to the station and what the purpose of the docking was. He estimates the corner of the ship involved in docking was roughly half the circumference of a London traffic circle. He concludes that current Earth technology is far behind alien capabilities, despite decades of attempts to reverse-engineer captured alien vessels.

An Alien Craft Spotted on Mars!

This section reports on an unusual spot observed on Mars, initially thought to be a natural formation but now hypothesized to be a robot created by an intelligent species. It is revealed to be NASA's robotic Opportunity rover, imaged from orbit by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The MRO, which achieved orbit in March 2006, captured spectacular high-resolution images of Victoria Crater and the Opportunity rover. The article also mentions an image called "Inca City" taken by the Malin camera, which has been the subject of research due to its precise angles suggesting it might be the ruins of a city.

A list of UFO-related VHS videos is provided for sale, including titles like 'Cosmic Top Secret' by Bob Dean and 'UFO Secrets of the Roswell Crash,' with prices ranging from £7.00 to £10.00.

Earth Changes – By Paul Usher (PRA)

Paul Usher discusses Earth's natural climate cycles and the potential impact of human activity. He suggests that greenhouse gases might be pushing climate extremes too far, leading to a potential runaway effect with unsurvivable temperatures. While greenhouse gases have contributed to the current comfortable climate, he warns of an impending Ice Age if they were absent. Usher believes that the sun is naturally getting hotter, contributing to warming, but human emissions can be curbed to mitigate this. He speculates that Mars and moons like Europa might become more habitable due to warming and geothermal activity. He concludes that mankind will eventually need to leave Earth, but not for millions of years, and anticipates extremes of climate change, including Ice Ages and melting poles.

Next PRA Meeting

Information is provided for the next PRA meeting at the Royal British Legion in Derby on Tuesday, November 21st, 2006. The meeting will feature a video presentation titled 'Close Encounters' and a free UFO book raffle. Non-members are welcome with a £1 entry fee.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of OVNI magazine revolve around personal accounts of alien encounters and UFO sightings, detailed descriptions of alien technology and craft, and the potential implications of these phenomena. There is a strong focus on the physical characteristics and capabilities of UFOs, such as their rounded interiors and size-shifting abilities. The magazine also touches upon broader topics like potential extraterrestrial evidence on other planets (Mars) and the impact of human activity on Earth's climate.
