Editorial and Introduction

The editorial, titled "UFOS - THREAT OR PROMISE?", sets the tone for the issue. It references Timothy Good's 1987 book "Above Top Secret" and Jenny Randles' "The UFO Conspiracy", highlighting the ongoing government secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon. The editorial notes that influential voices, such as Dr. Steven M. Greer of CSETI (USA) and Admiral Lord Hill-Norton (Britain), are speaking out against this "official blockade of information". It suggests that UFOs could be friendly or hostile, and that it's time for the truth to be revealed, referencing the popular TV show "X-Files".

Article: UFOs and HUMANITY by GORDON MILLINGTON

Gordon Millington, the Chairman of the Surrey Investigation Group on Aerial Phenomena, argues that governments dismiss UFOs as hallucinations, despite evidence of landings at sites like Roswell, San Agustin, and Rendlesham. He posits that the "Phenomenon" (referring to the intelligences behind UFOs) has a carefully devised operational plan. Initially, this involved "prospecting" for samples of animals, plants, and soil, consistent with the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis (ETH). However, the plan evolved to include the abduction of people, a fact that many victims are afraid to report due to fear of ridicule. Researchers like Budd Hopkins and Professor David Jacobs have begun to uncover this story.

Millington suggests that the Phenomenon has skillfully manipulated people and governments to conceal its activities. Fear of ridicule was used to prevent victims from speaking out. The post-World War II era, following the nuclear destruction of Japanese cities, saw the Phenomenon "go public in a big way", with Kenneth Arnold's "flying saucers" sighting providing a media term. The subsequent "virtual erasure of these events from the public mind" is attributed to government "spin doctors".

The Phenomenon's aims were twofold: to be noticed and to assure governments that UFOs were not new weapons from potential enemies, thus preventing a nuclear world war. The Visitors were concerned about the ecology of Earth, possibly because they intended to take it over. To achieve their goals, they ensured that serious people actively disbelieved in flying saucers. Some individuals, like Adamski, were used in a "skillful presentation" featuring "tall, blond and noble ufonauts" delivering messages of peace, which fostered "saucer cults" that presented an image of benevolent space brothers. This delusion is now perpetuated through more sophisticated forms of abductee conditioning.

The third phase of the Phenomenon's manipulation involves a breeding scheme to produce mutated hybrids using genetic material from abducted humans, combined with alien genes. A secondary policy is psychological conditioning to persuade abductees that they are alien soul matrices, acting as a "fifth column" for alien infiltration. Millington likens this to "demonic possession" in past ages.

The grey aliens are described as having the ability to control minds and bodies, causing effects ranging from weakness to total paralysis. Mentally, they can control perceptions. Communication is telepathic. They appear to be computer-controlled organic androids with a single purpose, showing neither friendliness nor hostility. Abduction experiences often begin in childhood and can continue indefinitely, though not always recalled.

Article: Abduction Experiences

Victims of abduction are "tagged" and can be located anywhere. Abductions often occur when the victim is alone, sometimes passing through solid matter, which Millington explains by referencing modern physics' understanding of empty space within matter. Abductees are subjected to extensive physical examinations on operating tables, sometimes in a "main operating theatre" where they might see familiar people. Subsequent operations are divided into physical (collection of eggs and sperm, insertion and removal of fertilized eggs) and psychological conditioning. The latter aims to study human responses and mould them, potentially making abductees believe they are aliens incarnated to serve an alien race. Abductees may be shown hybrid embryos and encouraged to interact with "listless half-alien babies" in a nursery area.

While physical evidence is scarce, correlations exist between hundreds of testimonies. Some witnesses have scars or wounds, and some have expelled small "locating devices". Despite the lack of objective evidence, investigators often accept the testimonies as true due to compatible versions of the same story. The article concludes that the existence of these UFO phenomena should not be ignored.

Article: ADMIRAL FOUNDS UFO PRESSURE GROUP

Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton has announced the formation of a group called "UFO CONCERN" to address the UFO phenomenon, which he believes is not receiving adequate attention. The group aims to disseminate fact-based information and recommend action. Lord Hill-Norton states that "alien, non-human intelligences and influences are operating increasingly amongst mankind," posing a concern from a national security standpoint and because UFOs appear in a physical sense. He notes that reported contacts have seldom been beneficial. He also observes that UFO experiences can have a religious or spiritual dimension, sometimes antithetical to Christian belief. The group's primary task is to persuade the public that a serious problem exists. He invites interested individuals to write to him.

The article includes a statistic stating that "All over the World there are at least 20 REPORTED UFO sightings every day." The number of unreported sightings is unknown.

Article: RELATED TO THE UFO/EXTRATERRESTRIAL SUBJECT by Steven M. Greer M.D.

Dr. Steven M. Greer, through CSETI's Project Starlight, has identified military, intelligence, and government-associated witnesses to covert projects involving UFOs and Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI). He believes these witnesses can provide credible evidence for the reality of UFOs and ETI. A major obstacle has been national security oaths and restrictions placed on these witnesses. CSETI has been working to encourage Congress and the White House to remove these restrictions. In 1995, witnesses signed a letter to President Clinton requesting action, but specific action has not yet been taken.

Greer questions the legality of these oaths and restrictions, suggesting that operations dealing with UFOs exist outside normal government channels, possibly without constitutional authorization and therefore illegally. These operations have allegedly engaged in deceptive practices. He asserts that any operation acting unilaterally removes itself from inherent legality. Therefore, "national security oaths" are considered null and void if the operations are illegal. He states that if these operations were legal, Congress, the executive branch, or senior military would know about them.

Greer encourages witnesses to speak out, ideally in unison at a credible venue, to present a definitive case. He argues that the secrecy surrounding UFOs is unjustified in the post-cold war era and that returning the matter to legal channels and public deliberation is crucial for national and world security. He calls for individuals of vision and courage to join this effort, stating that public testimony is a moral and legal act, and that continued secrecy is illegal and immoral.

This article is dated "21 October 1996".

Article: ANTIPOPE ... by Kevin McClure

Kevin McClure critiques Nick Pope, who was responsible for handling UFO reports at the Ministry of Defence. McClure questions Pope's claims about his rank and understanding of UFO phenomena, particularly crop circles and the Roswell Autopsy. McClure, identifying himself as an Executive Officer (EO) in the civil service, compares his own salary and grade with the ranks Pope claimed to equate to (Army Captain and Major). McClure's investigation reveals significant discrepancies in pay and responsibility, suggesting Pope's comparisons are misleading.

McClure speculates that if the government entrusted UFO liaison to a mere EO, it's either because the government has secrets to protect and hired someone whose ignorance is useful, or because the government deems UFOs insignificant and hired the cheapest person possible. McClure suggests that Pope may have exaggerated his status and authority, a trait he notes is common among some UFO field figures prone to "exaggeration verging on deceit".

Article: PANEL CONSIDERS ABDUCTOR MOTIVES

This section reports on a panel discussion at the Project Awareness UFO Conference in Tampa, Florida, held September 13-15, 1996. The panel included experts such as Dr. Roger Leir, Linda Moulton Howe, Colin Andrews, John Carpenter, Budd Hopkins, and Dr. Courtney Brown. The audience directed questions about the motives of those who perpetrate abductions.

Dr. Roger Leir uses a hypothetical scenario of a human abducting a child to illustrate the potential negative interpretation of alien actions. He argues that if a human performed such acts, they would be considered criminal. He suggests that while one can philosophize about the motives, the reality is that these events are occurring.

Linda Moulton Howe acknowledges the confusion surrounding motives and links animal mutilations to human abductions. She suggests that if these actions were part of a larger plan to prevent environmental destruction, the perspective might change, but currently, she cannot clarify the motive. She believes confusion, contradiction, and manipulation are part of the phenomena, which humans may interpret as evil.

Colin Andrews views the phenomenon as a "spiritual nudge" reminding people of their true nature. He sleeps soundly now, seeing people engage with the phenomenon, which he believes combines spirituality and technical information, pointing towards the future.

John Carpenter offers a "perceptual, attitudinal solution", comparing alien actions to human interactions with wildlife. He uses the example of humans darting and tagging bears without explanation, suggesting that humans do similar things to animals without considering their perspective. He implies that understanding these parallels might help in interpreting alien actions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around government secrecy and denial regarding UFO phenomena, the alleged manipulative and potentially sinister activities of extraterrestrial intelligences (referred to as the "Phenomenon" or "Visitors"), and the controversial topic of alien abductions. There is a strong undercurrent of advocating for transparency and disclosure, with figures like Admiral Lord Hill-Norton and Dr. Steven Greer leading efforts to challenge official secrecy. The magazine appears to lean towards the view that UFOs and alien contact are real and significant issues that are being deliberately obscured by authorities. The editorial stance is critical of government obfuscation and supportive of those seeking to bring the truth to light, suggesting that the public has been deliberately misled and that a serious problem exists that demands attention.

Title: PEGASUS
Issue Date: 1996
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This issue of PEGASUS magazine, dated 1996, explores a range of topics related to UFOs, government secrecy, and paranormal phenomena. It features interviews with researchers like Budd Hopkins and Dr. Courtney Brown, reports on alleged alien encounters, and discussions about clandestine government facilities.

Key Articles and Features

Human Responses to Alien Contact

Budd Hopkins, a UFO researcher, discusses the diverse human responses to alleged alien encounters, noting that people tend to categorize aliens as either 'good' or 'bad' groups. He emphasizes the difficulty of understanding non-human intelligence from a human perspective, highlighting the inherent human fears and religious hopes that influence these interpretations. Hopkins states he has never witnessed malevolent behavior from aliens, nor have they acted as saviors. He suggests they operate for their own unfathomable agenda, causing significant 'collateral damage' to abductees, sometimes leading to suicide, though not intentionally. He concludes that abductees often feel caught between viewing aliens as enemies or saviors, neither of which fits the observed reality.

Dr. Courtney Brown, a researcher, posits that concepts of 'good' and 'bad' may apply to extraterrestrial interactions as well. Drawing from remote viewing data, he suggests that humans do not truly die and have a composite existence, viewing physical life as a temporary experience. He labels humans as 'masters of limitations' for voluntarily entering bodies with such constraints. Brown believes that fears experienced during encounters are often exaggerated due to self-imposed limitations in perception. He also points to the 'gray genetic engineering project,' suggesting that aliens may seek permission for abductions and follow individuals throughout their lives. He notes the 'Spock-like mentality' of some aliens, characterized by a lack of emotional variation despite potential spiritual insights.

'Anti-Gravity' Device Discovered in Finland

An article by Robert Matthews and Ian Sample reports on a potential breakthrough in anti-gravity technology. Scientists at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland claim to have developed a device, approximately 12 inches across, that significantly reduces the weight of objects suspended above it. This discovery, rigorously examined and accepted for publication in the *Journal of Physics-D: Applied Physics*, could revolutionize transport and power generation. NASA is reportedly funding research into its potential for flight. The effect was discovered accidentally during superconductivity research involving a rapidly spinning superconducting ceramic disc.

Crop Circle Video Declared a Hoax

Crop circle expert Colin Andrews announced his findings regarding a controversial videotape that appeared to show UFOs forming a crop circle in southern England in under ten seconds. After several weeks of investigation, Andrews concluded that both the video and the crop pattern were hoaxes, likely created by the same group. The young man who provided the film, John Wheyleigh, had a name similar to John Wabe, who is involved in video editing. Andrews noted discrepancies in the information provided and has sought police advice. He expressed concern about the hoaxers' intentions, believing several individuals are involved in a 'fraud scam' that could damage the credibility of researchers and the phenomena itself.

George Adamski's Cosmology Supported

Jimmy Goddard, a SIGAP member and Earth Mysteries researcher, reviews Daniel Ross's 1987 book, 'UFOs and the Complete Evidence from Space - The Truth about Mars, Venus and the Moon.' Goddard shares his belief that the book supports George Adamski's cosmology of the Solar System and the Universe, suggesting that powerful factions have worked to present a different view to the public. The book reportedly presents evidence that Mars, Venus, and the Moon are living environments, citing photographs of Mars showing cloud cover and green areas, and questioning the official narrative about the Moon's gravity and the visibility of stars from its surface. It also suggests Venus is more Earth-like than commonly believed and that the asteroid belt acts as a cathode to boost solar radiation. The article warns that a faction on Earth may be deliberately misrepresenting the Universe for selfish purposes.

Russians Report on Apollo Missions

This section details Russian reports on the Apollo missions, suggesting that humans were not the first to land on the moon. It recounts the Apollo 11 mission, where astronauts reported balls of light following their craft and later observed large objects near a crater. The article mentions that recordings of astronaut conversations and videotapes from the mission mysteriously vanished and were later recovered in damaged condition. It also touches upon the Apollo 14 mission, where astronauts Alan Sheppard and Edgar Mitchell reportedly had an oxygen supply crisis and returned with accounts of strange phenomena on the moon, including bases and oval objects, and Mitchell claimed to have received a cylinder from an astronaut he saw in a vision.

The SETI Institute and UFO Research

The article "NO UFOS! Why the SETI Institute Does No UFO Research" explains that the SETI Institute's Project Phoenix focuses on extraterrestrial intelligence but excludes UFO sightings and alien abductions from its research objectives. The primary reasons cited are the immense distances to stars and the lack of scientific evidence, as personal accounts are deemed insufficient. The article lists organizations that do investigate UFOs and paranormal phenomena, including CSICOP, SSE, CUFOS, and MUFON.

Mount Weather: America's Secret Underground Base

This feature explores the existence of Mount Weather, a mysterious underground military base in Virginia, known as the Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations. It is described as a self-contained facility and the command center for FEMA. The base is designed to house the President and Cabinet in the event of a national emergency, such as nuclear war or martial law. The article notes that Congress has limited knowledge and oversight of Mount Weather, while the Russians are reportedly aware of its existence and mission. The facility collects vast amounts of data on American citizens and engages in war games and civil crisis management simulations. It is suggested that Mount Weather represents a parallel 'government-in-waiting' that could potentially lead to a 'coup d'etat' if power is not returned to constitutional authority after an emergency.

Red Sky at Morning: Alien Lore and Conspiracy

Robert Morning Sky shares his grandfather's ancient lore, claiming that Earth is inhabited by billions of Star Beings who have been in conflict for millions of years. Earth is described as a rebuilt colonial outpost called Eridu. According to this narrative, genetic scientists created Mankind by mixing Star Being DNA with that of a hominid ape to serve as slaves. A lizard race of genetically engineered workers revolted, seized power, and now uses mind control to keep Mankind ignorant and docile. Morning Sky believes this reptilian species maintains control through electronic means and drugs, and that crop circles are messages from extraterrestrial allies urging humanity to resist this new world order and reclaim its freedom.

UFO Distribution Map

The issue includes a map illustrating the distribution of reported UFO events from 1945 to 1996, covering North and South America.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of PEGASUS magazine revolve around the unexplained, the hidden, and the potentially conspiratorial. There is a consistent focus on UFO sightings, alien encounters, and the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on human affairs. The magazine also highlights instances of government secrecy and clandestine operations, particularly concerning the Mount Weather facility. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various perspectives and reports, even those that challenge conventional scientific or governmental narratives. The inclusion of different theories, from Adamski's cosmology to Morning Sky's alien lore, suggests a broad interest in exploring alternative explanations for phenomena and historical events.
