This issue of OVNI magazine, dated March/April 2015, presents a collection of articles and reports concerning UFO phenomena, government secrecy, and extraterrestrial encounters.

Obama Admits Space Aliens Control USA: Was He Joking?

The lead article discusses President Barack Obama's remarks on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' where he joked about space aliens controlling the USA and being responsible for government secrecy about UFOs. The article references reports from the LA Times and New York Magazine, suggesting it was a joke. However, it connects this to a disclosure about UFO secrecy by John Podesta, Obama's former White House Counselor, who stated his biggest failure for 2014 was 'Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files.' The article explores the possibility that Obama's comments, while made in jest, hinted at a serious situation. It also references a statement by former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer, who claims the U.S. has agreements with extraterrestrials and is controlled by 'Tall White aliens.' The article suggests that U.S. Presidents may be powerless to reveal the truth about UFOs and alien life without maintaining plausible deniability.

Dmitry Medvedev's Comments on Extraterrestrials

The magazine reports on off-air comments made by Russian Prime Minister and former President Dmitry Medvedev. He confided that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth and some are living among us, suggesting that the movie 'Men in Black' has a factual basis. Medvedev stated that presidents are given a 'top secret' folder along with nuclear codes, containing information on aliens and a report on a special service that exercises control over aliens in Russia. He declined to specify how many aliens are present, citing potential panic.

UFO Spotted Over Bude Beach, Cornwall

This section details a UFO sighting photographed over Bude Beach, Cornwall, on February 17, 2015. The object gained attention when it was revealed that RAF fighter jets had escorted a Russian bomber plane away from the Cornish coast. However, the photographed object did not resemble the reported 'Bear' Bomber, and the dates did not match. The article identifies the 'Bear' bomber (Tupolev Tu-95/Tu-142) as a Cold War-era aircraft used for reconnaissance, noting its speed of 500mph. The object photographed remains a mystery and bears no resemblance to any intruding aircraft.

Hundreds of Glowing Objects Seen Over California

On March 11, 2015, hundreds of white 'somethings' were reported floating in the sky over California. The report notes that these objects were not drifting with the wind and were moving in different directions, suggesting intelligent control, and questioning if they were 'Galactic drones or probes.'

Montana Triangle

An account from Gallatin Gateway describes a sighting on January 13, 2015, of a triangular shaped object with no navigation/collision lights flying overhead, followed by an airplane. The witness also observed two lights in a triangle shape with a plane following behind, noting they had only white non-blinking lights. The witness holds an MS in quantitative sciences.

Belgian 'Flying Triangle' Mystery Continues

The editor renewed contact with Patrick Ferryn, former Director of SOBEPS (Belgium), a UFO research association. The article discusses a re-evaluation of early sightings from November 29, 1989, the start of the 'so-called UFO Belgian wave,' which saw hundreds of sightings. It mentions a specific, unreleased case from March 1989 that occurred after an evening BBC program on crop-circles. The section includes comments from Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer, Deputy Chief of the Royal Belgian Air Force, who stated that a number of anomalous phenomena had been produced within Belgian airspace. He concluded that these presumed activities did not constitute a direct menace and that technological means would eventually reveal the phenomenon's origin. The article notes the close cooperation between the Belgian Air Force and SOBEPS during this period.

Men in Black

This section presents current reports from 'Filers Files,' including a cartoon by David Sankey depicting 'Men in Black.' One report from Plainfield, Indiana, describes a night security officer observing V-shaped circular lights and an array of distinctive bright red lights traveling over the airport on February 1, 2015. Another incident on February 8th involved two tall people dressed in black attire questioning the security guard about unusual sightings in the sky.

The PRA Extends Its Sky Coverage Over Derby!

This section announces that the Phenomenon Research Association (PRA) has increased its sky surveillance over Derby with three 'sky cameras.' The article highlights the advanced technology of small automatic cameras and mentions various images captured, including a flashing meteorite, mysterious visitors, a daylight UFO light, and UFO lights over a Mexican Airport. It also references a 'Colin Saunders FT encounter' on March 31, 1999, in Warcs, UK.

The Socorro Incident: Extract from 'Coast to Coast' (USA)

This article revisits the Socorro UFO landing incident from April 1964. Ray Stanford, who has investigated the case for over 50 years and authored the book 'Socorro 'Saucer' in a Pentagon Pantry,' shares further evidence. The incident involved New Mexico policeman Lonnie Zamora hearing a loud roar and seeing a descending object in flames, which he tracked to a landing site where he observed two small beings. Zamora described the beings as child-sized and wearing white coveralls. The article mentions that other witnesses saw the object, and landing traces were tested. It notes that J. Allen Hynek also investigated the case. Stanford revealed that he has acquired an actual photo of the craft, hoping to use it for publication.

Unknown Flying Objects are Seen Over Bristow, Oklahoma

This report details a daytime sighting on February 9, 2015, of 6-8 bright white orbs flying in a straight line over Bristow, Oklahoma. The witness, driving with their daughter and grandson, observed the objects evenly spaced and moving at a steady pace. The lights appeared to emit light and flashed in sync, with a unique flashing appearance described as a grey thing traveling down the orb. The objects were observed at a high altitude and maintained their altitude throughout the sighting. A similar sighting was reported in Oklahoma City on November 25, 2014.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of OVNI magazine revolve around UFO sightings, alleged government cover-ups, and the potential existence of extraterrestrial life and its influence on human affairs. The magazine appears to adopt a stance that encourages investigation into these phenomena, presenting various accounts and expert opinions while acknowledging the skepticism and the need for further evidence. The editorial approach seems to be one of open inquiry into unexplained aerial phenomena and related governmental and societal implications.

Title: OVNI
Issue Date: February 25, 2015
Content Focus: This issue of OVNI delves into various unexplained phenomena, including geological mysteries, astronomical observations, and reported UFO sightings.

The Mystery of the Huge Craters being found in Russia

The lead article, "The Mystery of the Huge Craters being found in Russia," by Anna Leisowska, reports on the alarming discovery of numerous large craters in Russia's Arctic regions. Professor Vasily Bogoyavlensky, a respected Moscow scientist and deputy director of the Oil and Gas Research Institute, has called for an 'urgent' investigation due to safety concerns. Previously, only three large craters were known, with speculation that warming surface temperatures and geological fault lines caused the release of gas hydrates, leading to their formation. Satellite imagery has revealed that these craters are more widespread than initially thought, with one large hole observed to have as many as 20 mini-craters surrounding it. Professor Bogoyavlensky states that seven craters are currently known in the Arctic area: five on the Yamal peninsula, one in the Yamal Autonomous district, and one in the Krasnoyarsk region near the Taimyr peninsula. While exact locations are known for only four, reindeer herders spotted the other three. Bogoyavlensky likens the situation to finding mushrooms, suggesting that many more craters likely exist, potentially 20 to 30 more, and emphasizes the need for further investigation due to safety risks in these regions.

UFO or a Flying Eagle, caught by 'Curiosity' on MARS!

Page 11 presents a report on a new photograph from NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars, captioned "UFO or a Flying Eagle, caught by 'Curiosity' on MARS!". The image, enhanced for easier location, shows a distant object in the Martian landscape. The article provides a link to the original NASA image and a blog post discussing the sighting, suggesting it is a new Martian curiosity photograph.

The 'Hubble' proves Einstein WAS right about relativity

This section discusses how images from the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. The images show light from a distant supernova being distorted by a cluster of huge galaxies, creating what is known as an 'Einstein Cross'. This phenomenon, where light bends around massive objects, was predicted by Einstein 100 years ago and provides visual proof that massive objects warp space-time to create gravity. Dr. Patrick Kelly, an astronomer from the University of California, Berkley, described his discovery of these images as a 'complete surprise'. The study was backed by NASA and the European Space Agency and published in the journal 'Science'. The article notes that December 2nd will mark the 100th anniversary of the publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which, along with quantum mechanics, forms the foundation of modern physics.

Don't Make Light of the Ceres Mystery!

The article "Don't Make Light of the Ceres Mystery!" focuses on the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt. NASA's Dawn spacecraft has captured new close-up images showing what appear to be two bright lights on its surface. Andreas Nathues, lead investigator for NASA's framing camera team, described the brightest spot as unexpectedly bright and a mystery. Speculation includes reflections from ice or volcanic activity, with UFO hunters suggesting it might mean Ceres is the 'Death Star'. These images, taken from 29,000 miles away, show two distinct lights reflecting 40 percent of the light sent their way. The Dawn spacecraft is using an ion propulsion system and is expected to enter orbit around Ceres on March 6th, with hopes of capturing higher-resolution photos to solve the mystery. The article also details Ceres' physical conditions, noting it constitutes about one-third of the asteroid belt's mass, has a round shape, and contains large amounts of water ice. It suggests Ceres could be a stepping stone for colonizing objects in the outer Solar System due to its water ice reserves and low escape velocity, potentially serving as a source of water, fuel, and oxygen.

Tale Enders: Reader Sightings

This section features reader-submitted accounts of alleged UFO sightings:

• Cannock, UK: A flying blue egg was observed for three minutes on February 18, 2015.
• Alvaston, Derby, UK: On January 30, 2015, two lights were seen travelling side-by-side, too close and too large to be a plane. They suddenly switched off, leaving a clear sky.
• West Virginia, USA: On February 3, 2015, a large triangular object with lights at each apex and several smaller lights was observed flying low and slow for 30 minutes, emitting a humming sound. Witnesses heard what sounded like military jets nearby but were certain the object was not a conventional aircraft.

An additional note explains that some nighttime flying light sightings might be explained by 'Drones' made by enthusiasts from polystyrene material, flown under radio control.

Upcoming Event

The issue concludes with an announcement for the next PRA meeting at the 'Victory Club' in Allenton, Derby, on Tuesday, March 31, 2015. The guest speaker will be Andrew Johnson, presenting on 'A Mechanism for Earth Expansion'. The event includes UFO news and a book raffle, with a £2 contribution charge for non-members.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
