This issue of PEGASUS magazine, published by the Surrey Investigation Group on Aerial Phenomena, focuses on UFO phenomena, contactees, and related mysteries. The cover features a drawing of Pegasus and the title 'PEGASUS', with a price of £2 and the date 'Summer 1994' noted. The magazine includes articles on historical UFO cases, alleged alien encounters, and scientific investigations.

The Contactees

The lead article, 'The Contactees', discusses the revival of public interest in UFOs in the early fifties, spurred by individuals who claimed to have met and spoken with occupants of landed UFOs. These contactees often conveyed messages about peace and offered rides to other planets. While their claims are now considered incredible, the article questions the origin of these delusions, suggesting they might be part of a larger, manipulated sequence of events starting from 19th-century 'airships' and progressing through various phenomena like abductions and crop circles.

Jimmy Goddard is highlighted for his historical interest in contactees and their messages from 'Space People'. The article also mentions Tony Wedd, who sought to connect ufology with earth mysteries, a path also pursued by Aimé Michel. The editorial stance advises thinking about everything in ufology but believing nothing, especially concerning contactees.

Mars Observer Falls Silent

This section reports on the loss of contact with the Mars Observer spacecraft on August 25, 1993, just days before it was scheduled to enter orbit around Mars. Flight controllers at JPL were unable to reestablish communication after telemetry abruptly halted on August 21. The spacecraft was in the process of a preprogrammed orbit insertion sequence when the communication loss occurred, leaving the mission's fate uncertain. The article notes the frustration and exhaustion of the flight control team and the diminishing prospects for the mission's success with each passing day.

Cattle Mutilations

A brief report details the discovery of two calves found dead and mutilated in July 1993 in Modcombe, Wiltshire. The right ear, genitals, tongue, and rectum were removed. Similar mutilations were found on sheep in the Yorkshire moorlands, with UFO reports also received from other locations. It is suggested that the animal tissues might be used in genetic work.

Triangular UFOs in Derbyshire

This report describes a sighting over Bakewell on September 26, 1993, of a large black triangle flying soundlessly at approximately 40 m.p.h. The object had multiple lights and was observed by over 30 witnesses. The article notes the similarity to triangular UFOs reported during the Belgian 'flap'.

AIDS Virus A USA Product?

This section presents a quote from a document titled "Department of Defense Appropriations for 1970 - Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee of Appropriations House of Representatives". It suggests the possibility of creating new infective microorganisms that could be refractory to immunological and therapeutic processes, with a research program proposed to explore this feasibility.

Submarine UFOs

Professor Vladimir Azhazha is quoted discussing encounters with underwater UFOs between 1976 and 1987. He describes how these objects treated humans, implying a lack of goodwill or need for interaction.

Tony Wedd - Philosopher, Artist and Flying Saucerologist

This detailed article by Jimmy Goddard profiles Tony Wedd (1919-1980). After a varied career including piloting training aircraft and working with maladjusted children, Wedd became deeply interested in ufology and ley hunting after discovering leys in 1947. He linked these alignments to the flying saucer enigma, bringing leys back into public attention. Wedd was fascinated by contactee George Adamski's experiences and became a representative for the International UFO Observer Corps, preferring the term 'Flying Saucerologist'. He developed the 'Skyways and Landmarks' booklet, contributing to the earth mysteries movement. The article explores his belief in the connection between leys and UFOs, his interest in contact accounts, and his promotion of thought communication. It also mentions his emigration to Australia in 1970, where he edited 'The Crow' magazine, archiving his findings. His work is further investigated in 'Skyways and Landmarks Revisited' and his biography is detailed in 'Tony Wedd - New Age Pioneer'.

George Adamski

This section details the life and claims of George Adamski, born in Poland in 1891. After emigrating to America, he became a teacher of metaphysics and philosophy and settled near the Mount Palomar observatory. In 1946, he reported seeing a gigantic spacecraft and began watching the skies. In 1952, he claimed a close encounter with a craft and its occupant from Venus, who communicated telepathically and expressed concern about atomic explosions. Adamski described these events in his book 'Flying Saucers Have Landed', co-authored with Desmond Leslie, and later in 'Inside the Space Ships'. He claimed to have met people from Venus, Mars, and Saturn and devoted his life to spreading their message. The article notes his claims of meeting royalty and religious figures, which were often denied. It also mentions similar sightings by others and discusses the credibility of Adamski's testimony, suggesting that while his claims might be fantasies, he likely believed them to be real.

Arthur Bryant

This article recounts the alleged contact experience of Arthur Bryant in Scorriton, Devon, on June 7, 1965. He reported seeing a pale blue light and hearing a turbine-like sound, followed by the discovery of strange metallic pieces and a message in Greek script the next day. Later, on April 24, 1965, he described a large saucer appearing and descending, from which three beings emerged. One being, named Yamski, communicated with Bryant, mentioning Captain Mantell and dangers from Epsilon. Bryant was taken inside the craft, which he described as having multiple compartments and a propulsion system called 'Ideo motor movement'. The article notes that Bryant died of a brain tumour shortly after these events, and the case is considered difficult to conclude definitively due to coincidences with other events, such as Adamski's death occurring around the same time.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, alleged alien encounters, and the phenomenon of 'contactees'. The magazine explores the historical context of these claims, from early contactee reports to more recent sightings and alleged evidence. There is a strong emphasis on connecting UFO phenomena with 'earth mysteries' like ley lines, suggesting a deeper, perhaps orchestrated, underlying pattern. The editorial stance, as stated in 'The Contactees' section, advocates for a critical yet open-minded approach: 'think of everything but believe nothing'. The magazine seems to present various accounts and theories without definitively endorsing them, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions, while hinting at the possibility of a 'master plan' or 'unspecifiable intelligence' at play.

This issue of "THEY ALL REPORTED UFOs!" (Volume 11, Issue 11, dated April 22, 1990) is a compilation of reported UFO sightings and related phenomena, featuring testimonials from well-known personalities and in-depth articles on controversial theories. The magazine explores the possibility of extraterrestrial contact, government involvement in UFO phenomena, and ancient astronaut theories.

Celebrity Testimonials

The cover and introductory pages highlight numerous celebrities who claim to have witnessed UFOs. Singer David Bowie expresses a lifelong fascination with space beings and recalls editing a UFO magazine as a teenager, often seeing alien craft. Comedian Michael Bentine describes seeing a bright white light shoot up like a rocket. Former US President Jimmy Carter states he is convinced UFOs exist because he saw a bright, color-changing object. Writer Earl of Haddington describes seeing neon green discs. Actor William Shatner recalls seeing an object glistening in the heavens during the Sixties. Former boxer Muhammad Ali claims to have had 16 sightings and believes they are of tremendous importance. Broadcaster David Jacobs recounts an extraordinary light speeding past him on the motorway, which many listeners also reported seeing. Film director Claudia Weill describes a luminous object following her car.

High Strangeness in France

Written by Gordon Millington, this article explores the idea that UFOs can cause both harm and healing through controlled radiation, likely in the microwave frequency band. It details an early case from November 8, 1954, in Croydon, UK, where Philip Molava, a thirteen-year-old, saw a discoid object and later encountered three cloaked figures. He became ill, partially paralyzed, but was found cured the next day, experiencing out-of-body experiences and receiving telepathic messages.

The article then focuses on a stranger case involving a Dr. X, who suffered severe war wounds and an accidental leg injury. Ten years later, on October 31, 1968, he witnessed two identical discs merge into a single object that shone a beam at him before vanishing. Remarkably, his war wounds and recent injury had also vanished. The case is noted for its similarity to the Rendlesham incident, with a 'bright wire' observed during the UFO's departure.

Further events involving Dr. X included hearing a whistling sound and being guided to a meeting with a stranger named Monsieur Bied, who facilitated teleportation and time travel. Dr. X also experienced an incident in Paris where he was teleported to a room near the Ministry of the Interior, with only twenty minutes passing in real-time.

UFOs in the UK: Rostrevor and Warrenpoint Sightings

This section, written by Lena Ferguson, reports on residents of several towns in County Down, UK, being mystified by the sudden appearance of a UFO described as a 'red or orange sphere' above Rostrevor and Warrenpoint. Pharmacist John O'Callaghan photographed a dome-shaped object spinning in the sky, which descended and changed color. Kevin Woods, a sales representative, also witnessed a sphere moving at great speed. The Armagh Planetarium suggested possibilities such as a meteor, ball lightning, or a rocket, ruling out an extraterrestrial craft.

Bristol Sky Lights Mystery

A brief report from June 29, 1993, details dozens of families in Hartcliffe, Bristol, witnessing eight coloured lights hovering for five hours, changing from blue to red. Airport authorities were baffled.

The Gloomy Dane - A Cautionary Tale

This piece profiles Bent Sten Olsen, a Danish New Age Prophet who, after working various jobs, became involved with UFO groups and began re-writing sections of the Bible. He claimed to have encountered an alien and later founded The Great Lodge of the Northern Star, living a nomadic life and proclaiming the coming of Doomsday. The article suggests he may require psychiatric attention.

Betty, Barney and the CIA?

This article presents a theory by an anonymous American scientist suggesting that abductees who believe they have been taken by aliens might actually be victims of mind control techniques employed by government intelligence services. The theory is applied to the Betty and Barney Hill incident, proposing that their 'interrupted journey' was a staged event.

The article questions the 'pregnancy test' administered to Betty Hill, noting that amniocentesis was not officially announced until after her account. It also draws parallels between abduction 'healings' and experimental electromagnetic therapy. The author questions whether Betty Hill encountered aliens or humans using advanced technology, and why she initially recalled her abductors as humanoid before describing them as aliens.

The 'star map' recalled by Betty Hill under hypnosis is presented as a 'prop' or 'artificial-induced hypermnesia' designed to convince her and others of the abduction's reality. The author suggests that Barney Hill's acquaintance with the head of Air Force intelligence at Pease Air Force Base, combined with his and his wife's involvement in civil rights organizations during the 1960s, made them a convenient target for government espionage, possibly as part of an experiment to create a 'human bug'.

Aura Rhane Rides Again?

This brief section mentions Jacques Vallée's book "UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union," detailing a contactee-style encounter reported in 1975 by an artist named Malichev, who was invited aboard a landed disk and taken to a planet with three moons. Malichev's encounter is compared to that of Truman Bethurum.

Some Philosophical Implications of Sitchin's Ancient Astronaut Theory

Written by Gordon Millington, this article examines Zecharia Sitchin's "Earth Chronicles." The author notes that despite Sitchin's work being published since 1976, no qualified academic has disputed or supported his contentions. Millington posits that Sitchin's account of the development of our solar system, the planet Nibiru, and the creation of mankind by the Nefilim is either a significant discovery or an elaborate hoax.

The article explores the potential implications if Sitchin's theory were universally accepted, suggesting it could fundamentally alter human thought. It traces the origins of Godhead, Kingship, and Hierarchy back to the Nefilim (Annunaki), who created a 'slave race.' The author questions whether humanity's concept of godliness was influenced by the Nefilim's behavior and suggests that our understanding of creation might need to shift from a divine creator to the genetic manipulations of the Nefilim.

It is argued that the hierarchical principle, originating from the Annunaki Supreme Council, has persisted through royalty and is now entrenched in politics and society. The article concludes that acknowledging this Nefilim legacy might be less revolutionary than initially thought, and that academics may eventually accept it more openly.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, alien encounters, government secrecy and experimentation, and ancient astronaut theories. The magazine presents a wide range of perspectives, from celebrity anecdotes to detailed theoretical analyses. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting various accounts and theories for the reader to consider, while also critically examining the evidence and potential explanations, particularly in the case of the Betty and Barney Hill incident where a government conspiracy is proposed as an alternative to extraterrestrial contact.

Title: DAILY SPORT NEWS SPECIAL
Issue Date: 19 August 1993
Publisher: Daily Sport
Country: United Kingdom
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This issue of Daily Sport News Special delves into a variety of intriguing topics, with a strong focus on UFO sightings, crop circles, and ancient mysteries. The cover story highlights two couples who captured video footage of a UFO near Alton Priors, UK, an area known for crop circles. This sighting was followed by the appearance of a large, complex crop circle in a nearby field.

UFOs and Crop Circles

The lead article details the experience of Dutch tourists Foeke Kootje and Connie DeBruyn, who filmed a silent, three-light UFO hovering over the countryside. Coincidentally, they met fellow tourists Erik Beckjord and Joan DeNeve, who had also filmed a similar event. The following night, a significant crop circle, measuring 435ft long and featuring circles and symbols, appeared in a field at Cherhill. Foeke expressed a strong belief in a link between UFOs and crop circle patterns, suggesting they might be messages from an alien race. The article also mentions a Wiltshire police spokesperson who stated they had received no reports of the incident.

Close Encounters Support Group

Separately, the issue reports on Janice Georgiou, who organized the Witness Support Group in Hornsey, North London. This group provides counseling for individuals who claim to have had close encounters with aliens, addressing the severe psychological and emotional after-effects such individuals may experience, such as sickness, depression, and relationship breakdowns. Over 200 people reportedly attend these meetings.

The Great Pyramid Mystery

An article by Julian Champkin explores the ongoing mystery surrounding Egypt's Great Pyramid of Cheops. It details the recent discovery of a new, inaccessible chamber by a small robot sent up a ventilation shaft. This discovery generated excitement about potentially finding the pharaoh's remains or artifacts. However, the report also includes a denial from Dr. Rainer Stadelman of the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo, who disputed the existence of the chamber and suggested any treasures were stolen long ago. The article touches upon the symbolic significance of the pyramid's shafts and their alignment with constellations.

Reviews and Competitions

Lionel Beer reviews "Farewell Good Brothers": This section reviews a TV documentary that featured American UFO contactees from the 1950s, including George Adamski, George King (founder of the Aetherius Society), and George van Tassel. The review highlights George King's establishment of the Aetherius Society and his followers' chanting rituals.

Crop Circle Hoaxing Competition: A report from the Daily Telegraph details a crop circle hoaxing competition held in a wheat field at West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. A team of three designers, including David Overd and Adrian Dexter, won first prize by creating a complex crop circle within a five-hour time limit. The event, organized by Cerealogist magazine and the Koestler Foundation, aimed to test the skill of hoaxers and implicitly questioned the origin of all crop circles.

German Crop Circles

Another article discusses the phenomenon of crop circles spreading to Germany, specifically near Hildesheim. The appearance of bizarre patterns, including shapes resembling a hammer and sickle and tennis rackets, in a cornfield owned by farmer Werner Harenberg, captured the imagination of the German public. While some speculated about UFOs, tyre tracks suggested human involvement. The farmer capitalized on the interest by charging visitors an entrance fee.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores themes of the unexplained, including UFO sightings, ancient mysteries, and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. There is a clear interest in phenomena that challenge conventional explanations, whether it be the silent flight of unidentified objects, the enigmatic construction of ancient monuments, or the creation of intricate patterns in fields. The inclusion of both genuine sightings and documented hoaxes suggests a balanced, albeit sensationalist, approach to these topics, typical of tabloid journalism. The editorial stance appears to be one of fascination with the unknown and a willingness to report on a wide range of claims and theories related to UFOs and unexplained phenomena.
