Pegasus - Vol 16 No 4

Magazine Overview

Title: PEGASUS
Issue: Volume 16, #4
Date: November/December 2003
Publisher: Surrey Investigation Group into Aerial Phenomena (SIGAP)

This issue of PEGASUS, the publication of the Surrey Investigation Group into Aerial Phenomena, explores various facets of the UFO phenomenon, from the philosophical underpinnings of 'ufology' to specific case reports and speculative theories about extraterrestrial involvement in human history and biology.

A Hermeneutic Ufology?

The opening article questions the scientific rigor of 'ufology,' arguing that many reports rely on anecdotal evidence without proper validation, taxonomy, or interpretation. It contrasts this with the taxonomic studies of Dr. David Jacobs on abductions, suggesting this approach could lead to a true science of ufology requiring both epistemological and ontological perspectives. The author, G.M., expresses a lack of evidence for such a scientific approach in the field.

Extraterrestrial Life

This section, quoting Carl Gustav Jung, posits that extraterrestrial life is not only real but near. The author, Thomas Deflo (MA in Philosophy), shares his personal journey from skepticism to the conviction that crafts from other planets have reached Earth. His master's thesis, while initially not focused on UFOs, concluded that the universe is uniform and homogeneous, suggesting that physical processes leading to life on Earth should occur elsewhere, resulting in numerous intelligent civilizations. Deflo argues that the vastness of the universe makes it statistically probable that other civilizations exist and have developed advanced space travel, potentially visiting Earth long ago. He notes that the internet has accelerated the dissemination of knowledge, bringing researchers and whistleblowers forward. While acknowledging the mix of credible information and 'UFO chaff,' he concludes that UFOs are indeed extraterrestrial spacecraft. Deflo addresses the public's difficulty in accepting this reality, attributing it to governmental secrecy and cultural conditioning through science fiction. He asserts that acknowledging extraterrestrial reality is crucial for humanity's self-awareness and responsibility, enabling a more accurate understanding of our cosmic place.

The Case of Adam's Alien Genes

This article, attributed to Zecharia Sitchin, explores the enigma of the human genome, particularly the discovery of 223 genes that lack clear evolutionary predecessors. While scientists have proposed a 'horizontal transfer from bacteria' as an explanation, Sitchin argues against this, citing the lack of bacterial precursors in invertebrates and the unique functions of these genes, some of which are linked to neurological and psychiatric functions inherited maternally. He proposes that these genes are 'alien' and originated from the Anunnaki, extraterrestrial beings from the planet Nibiru who, according to Sumerian texts, genetically engineered early hominids approximately 450,000 years ago to create 'primitive workers' for mining gold. Sitchin suggests that the biblical account of Adam and Eve being fashioned in the image of the Elohim (Anunnaki) reflects this genetic intervention, not a bacterial origin.

An Alien Base in Siberia & Alien Contact

Omar Fowler, SIGAP founder, presents evidence suggesting the existence of an established alien base in Siberia. He cites a Russian National Security Academy source, Valery Uvarov, who stated that a meteorite was shot down over Siberia by an 'unknown installation' in September 2002. This event, treated with extreme seriousness by Russian authorities, is linked to previous reports of strange domed structures in the region. The article then shifts to a personal account from psychic Peter Gregory, who claims to have had psychic contact with a 23-year-old hybrid alien female named 'Oona.' Oona stated she was born on Earth through alien genetic engineering and had lived at a secret base in Russia. She explained that her people create hybrids as a method of controlling evolution and ensuring their own survival, and that they aim to help humanity achieve spiritual awareness. Gregory's contacts with Oona revealed details about alien bases worldwide, the use of implants for monitoring and retrieval, and the aliens' perspective on human violence. Oona also conveyed a message about the infinite perceptions of reality and the need for humanity to expand its acceptance to understand their purpose.

Alien Abduction Saga

This section, by Chris Brown, details the alleged experiences of Suzanne Brown (an assumed name), a Chester businesswoman who claims to have been visited by a 5ft alien named Myriko between 1965 and 1989. Initially, the visits were described as loving, but later became terrifying. Brown claims she was taken aboard a spacecraft and shown a nursery with grey-skinned infants. She alleges that Myriko used mind control to engineer a 'close encounter' involving herself and two others, resulting in her becoming pregnant with a half-alien child, which was later removed. Eric Morris of the British UFO Studies Centre in Winsford is mentioned as an investigator who believes in genetic harvesting and notes that Brown's visitations ceased around her menopause. The article also touches on the high number of sightings in Cheshire and Merseyside, possibly due to proximity to the sea allowing military tests to be conducted discreetly.

Attacking UFOs Impossible

This article, translated from Pravda.ru, discusses the historical inability of military forces to damage unidentified flying objects (UFOs). It recounts incidents from 1944, where US Air Force pilots fired on ball-like UFOs without effect, and mentions a tape-recording of a similar event in New Jersey. The article notes that official documents on such encounters are often classified, with information primarily coming from eyewitnesses. It also details an incident in 1999 where pursuit planes attacked a UFO near Dallas, and a tragic event in 1998 involving Japanese Air Force planes that were downed by a large red ball-like object.

2012: Stargate of the Gods

This is the second part of an article by an unnamed author, continuing the theory that ancient 'Bearded Serpent Gods' represented civilizations that used 'stargates' or wormholes for travel. The author links this to Mayan prophecies of a 'serpent rope' emerging in 2012, which John Major Jenkins interprets as a wormhole or stargate. The article addresses the vast distances between stars as a barrier to interstellar communication, citing Dr. Carl Sagan's estimates, and suggests that stargates offer a solution to this challenge.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of PEGASUS include the scientific and philosophical exploration of ufology, the strong possibility of extraterrestrial life and intelligence, and the potential involvement of non-human entities in human history and biology, particularly through genetic engineering. The magazine appears to adopt a stance that is open to speculative theories, drawing on ancient texts, personal testimonies, and scientific discoveries to support its arguments. There is a consistent emphasis on the idea that UFOs are advanced spacecraft from other worlds and that humanity may have been influenced by extraterrestrial civilizations. The editorial stance encourages readers to consider these possibilities seriously, even when they challenge conventional scientific or historical understanding.

Title: Pegasus
Issue: Vol. 3, No. 11
Date: November 2005
Publisher: SIGAP
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of Pegasus explores the intersection of ancient mythology, symbolism, and modern scientific concepts, particularly focusing on wormholes, extraterrestrial life, and astronomical discoveries.

Ancient Symbolism and Wormholes

The issue begins by referencing Carl Sagan's proposal of stargates or wormholes as scientifically valid means of travel for advanced civilizations, and Dr. Paul Davies' distinction between natural and artificially created wormholes. The author posits that ancient gods may have employed wormholes and that studying ancient words and pictures can offer insights into future stargate construction.

A central theme is the comparison of the 'serpent rope' or 'ship' symbolism found in Mayan, Sumerian, and Egyptian cultures. This symbolism is linked to the concept of a celestial vehicle and is further explored through the word 'Nibiru.' Zecharia Sitchin's interpretation of 'Nibiru' as related to Sumerian mythology and Rene Guenon's association with the 'Flaming Sword' at the gate of Eden are discussed. The article highlights that 'Nibiru' can mean 'crossing' or 'gate,' and is linked to the Anunnaki god Anu and the Egyptian concept of equinox.

Further analysis of 'Nibiru' suggests it refers to a 'star, gate, crossing point,' acting as a 'Bridging Planet' connecting the mortal and spiritual realms. The Sumerian and Babylonian 'serpent ship,' associated with the god E.A. (Kronos/Saturn), is depicted as a celestial vehicle, the 'Great Boat of Heaven,' which could also be a wormhole. Illustrations from the Book of the Dead show a double-headed serpent ship resting on a world mountain or column of water, representing a 'Stairway to Heaven.' The pictographic evidence is complemented by texts describing a revolving ship traversing a circle, symbolizing a connection between Earth and Heaven.

SETI and Extrasolar Planets

The issue includes an article by Laurance Doyle of SPACE.com titled "SETI - Detecting Other Worlds Part VIII: Radio Detection." This article discusses seven methods for detecting extrasolar planets and notes the recent discovery of numerous extrasolar giant planets. It highlights NASA's Kepler Mission, aimed at detecting Earth-like planets. The article focuses on using radio telescopes to detect planets, drawing parallels with Jupiter's radio emissions due to its magnetic field. It suggests that an array of antennas on the Antarctic Plateau could detect 'Jupiters' around other stars.

The detection of such planets is deemed important for understanding their role in clearing comets from solar systems, potentially reducing cometary impacts on Earth. The article also emphasizes SETI's endeavor to detect narrow-band radio signals from other civilizations as a primary method for finding extraterrestrial intelligence.

News in Brief / Sightings Roundup

This section presents various UFO sightings and related phenomena:

• Sir Patrick Moore's Encounter: The presenter of "The Sky At Night" recounts seeing what he initially thought were flying saucers, but later identified as magnified pollen grains.
• Russia - Helicopter Hunts UFO: Russian authorities sent a helicopter to investigate a UFO sighting in Kemerovo, Siberia, described as a fireball that appeared to have landed but caused no damage.
• Vermont - Six Bright, White Lights: Six bright, white lights in two triangular formations were witnessed in Waterford, Vermont, moving at high speed and descending, accompanied by military aircraft.
• New Hampshire Sighting: Triangular lights were observed near military area Y-2 in New Hampshire, moving northeast and vanishing simultaneously, followed by military aircraft circling the area.
• Burnham-on-Crouch Sighting: Two curved arrowhead-shaped objects were seen performing spiral maneuvers, illuminated from underneath, and flying at approximately 250 feet.

Earth-Like Planets Common

An article by Thomas R. Quinn and Jonathan Lunine, published in Icarus, suggests that planet-formation models indicate Earth-like planets may be common. Computer simulations found that each simulation produced one to four Earth-like planets, with 11 identified as 'habitable.' This research implies millions of Earth-like planets likely exist, and that life could potentially be transported via meteorites.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of Pegasus are the exploration of ancient mysteries through comparative mythology and symbolism, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and life beyond Earth, and the reporting of contemporary UFO phenomena. The magazine appears to maintain an open-minded stance, presenting theories that bridge ancient beliefs with scientific inquiry and documenting unexplained aerial phenomena.

The editorial stance, as indicated by the "Readers' Letters" section, encourages reader participation and the sharing of opinions and ideas regarding the phenomena discussed in the magazine.
