Article Details:

Las Logias Lautarinas

This article, by Antonio Las Heras, discusses the founding of the "Gran Reunión Americana" lodge in London in 1797 by Venezuelan Mason Francisco de Miranda. This lodge, also known as the Logia de los Caballeros Racionales, aimed to achieve the emancipation of America from Spanish rule and establish republican governments. It was a secret organization composed of civilians and military personnel, operating under the name Logias Lautaro, honoring a Mapuche leader. The article notes that Masonry arrived in the Río de la Plata region in the late 18th century, influenced by Spanish Masonry. It mentions key figures like San Martín, Alvear, and others who were involved in establishing lodges such as the Logia Independencia and the Logia de San Juan. The article details San Martín's initiation into Masonry and his role in founding the Logia Lautaro in Buenos Aires in 1812, with prominent members including Carlos María de Alvear, José Matías Zapiola, and Bernardo de Monteagudo.

Departamento Encantado en Cracovia

Authored by Piotr Gadaj, this piece recounts a report from a young woman, referred to as Ela, about her experiences in a supposedly haunted apartment in Cracovia, Poland. She rented the apartment over six years prior. The report details a series of unsettling events, including spectral presences, unexplained noises, and a child's illness (diarrhea with blood) and fever. Ela describes hearing a man's voice calling her name and experiencing a surreal moment where something pulled her covers. The apartment became a place where no one could sleep peacefully, leading to scandals. The culmination involved her ex-husband being hospitalized, and a terrifying experience where her daughter screamed about a "mamá, mamá!" after something laughed hysterically in the middle of the night. The witness eventually moved out, and her marriage ended. She describes a lingering sense of anxiety and sadness when thinking about the apartment.

El Extraordinario OVNI del Pantano Gabriel y Galán

Written by Pedro María Fernández, this article details a UFO sighting that occurred at 00:30 on March 27, 1970, in a remote area of Cáceres province, Spain. The witness, Santos Nicolás, a schoolteacher, described seeing a large, disc-shaped object approximately twelve to fifteen meters in diameter and two and a half to three meters high. The object was illuminated from within, with an orange light visible through square windows on its underside. A rotating turret with a lighthouse-like beam emitted the same orange light, which pulsed with the rotation. The craft flew majestically, horizontally, and silently. Nicolás stopped his car to observe the object for three hours. He estimated the object was about nine hundred meters away when he first saw it. Later, the object descended lower, appearing between oak trees and the mountain, and was illuminated by about ten to twelve lights that extended from the underside to the ground. These lights were described as fluorescent and yellowish-green. The object appeared to be supported by these light beams. The witness was convinced the object was rotating, noting specific patterns of lights on its sides (green light above, two red lights below on the right side, and vice-versa on the left).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, including UFOs, paranormal activity, historical mysteries, and esoteric subjects. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to share their thoughts and experiences, while maintaining a focus on presenting information rather than engaging in polemics. The magazine aims to provide a platform for diverse perspectives on phenomena that lie beyond conventional understanding.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified as issue 11, focuses on UFO sightings and theoretical interpretations of these phenomena. The cover headline, 'Recorrido efectuado por el objeto' (Trajectory made by the object), suggests a detailed account of a specific sighting. The magazine explores the 'Distortion Theory' as a framework for understanding UFO encounters, emphasizing the psychological and cultural influences on witness experiences.

Article: Recorrido efectuado por el objeto

The main article details a sighting by a witness named Santos, accompanied by Jesús Martín, a doctor. The sighting occurred near the Embalse de Gabriel y Galán. The witness describes an object with fixed lights that later moved. The object's trajectory is mapped, showing stops and observations. At one point, the witness's car was illuminated by a powerful beam of light from the object in response to flashing headlights. The object was observed to move towards a sierra at an estimated altitude of 800-1000 meters and a distance of 15-16 kilometers. The witness also noted that the object reappeared over Berrocoso. The article mentions potential effects on the dam's electrical installations and local animals.

The Distortion Theory

This section, authored by José Antonio Caravaca, delves into the 'Distortion Theory' of UFO encounters. It posits that these phenomena are not necessarily extraterrestrial but may be manifestations influenced by the collective unconscious and the witness's own psyche. The theory draws parallels to dreams and archetypes, suggesting that the 'external agent' behind UFOs adapts its appearance and narrative to fit the cultural context and beliefs of the time and the witness. It highlights how elements like 'absurd factors' and the pre-existence of UFO themes in science fiction support this idea. The theory suggests that the 'external agent' can 'fabricate' experiences, making them seem real and physical to the witness, even if they lack lasting physical evidence.

Case Study 1: An Alien Army Disembarks from a 'Space Bus'

This case, reported by Juan Rodríguez Domínguez, describes an event in Aznalcóllar (Seville) in 1971. The witness, an 80-year-old man, reported seeing a large, bus-like luminous object land. From it, approximately 50-60 small, uniformed humanoids disembarked in perfect formation. They wore blue, tight-fitting suits with visors and advanced in two rows, appearing to be on a mission. The witness felt a 'telepathic order' to leave. The article notes the 'military' aspect of the encounter and the witness's initial thought that it might be a military operation. The 'space bus' description and the organized disembarkation are seen as elements fitting the witness's subconscious, influenced by the 'external agent'.

Case Study 2: Divers and Paralytic Rays

This case from Dinan, France, on May 15, 1955, involves Mr. Droguet. After seeing a film, he encountered a large, disc-shaped craft with a dome hovering near his home. Two beings, about 1.60 meters tall, dressed in metallic grey 'diver suits,' emerged. They had thick helmets, gloves, and a black box on their abdomen with cables. One being collected 'stones,' while the other inspected a window. The witness was immobilized by fear and a sense of vibration. The beings reportedly used luminous rays to deter him from approaching. This case is presented as an example of the 'external agent' using elements that might resonate with the witness's understanding or fears.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained phenomena, with a strong focus on UFOs and related topics like cryptids and the supernatural. The editorial stance appears to lean towards investigating these phenomena with a critical yet open mind, exploring various hypotheses, including psychological and unconventional ones like the 'Distortion Theory,' alongside more traditional extraterrestrial hypotheses. The inclusion of witness testimonies, case studies, and theoretical discussions suggests an aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the field and encourage deeper research.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified as issue number 24, focuses on a diverse range of paranormal and historical topics. The cover prominently features an illustration and title related to Johann Wier, a 16th-century demonologist. The magazine explores UFO sightings, alleged extraterrestrial encounters, and historical investigations into the occult.

Article 1: French UFO Sighting

The first article details an encounter experienced by Mr. Droguet in France. He reported seeing a mysterious artifact that projected light and a humanoid figure. He described two humanoids entering the artifact via a central opening with a metallic ladder. The object then ascended vertically and silently. The experience lasted about 15 minutes. Investigator Henri Durrant is quoted questioning the geological studies of extraterrestrials, suggesting they might be investigating human urbanism.

The article analyzes this event in comparison to a sighting by a guard in Seville, noting common elements like the landing of extraterrestrials for inspection, a third individual acting as a 'watcher', and the use of a paralyzing luminous instrument. The author suggests that witnesses may incorporate elements from their own 'dream creativity' into their accounts, citing Juan Rodríguez's military-themed interpretation and Mr. Droguet's comparison of the humanoids to the Michelin Man.

Article 2: Brazilian UFO Encounter

This section recounts an incident involving Toribio Pereira in Lins, Brazil, on October 2, 1968. While working with his tractor, Pereira observed a golden oval-shaped artifact with a transparent dome hovering about 30 centimeters above the ground. He described seeing four chairs and an instrument panel inside. The object was approximately 5 meters long and 3 meters high. Pereira observed four humanoids, about 1.60 meters tall, with childlike expressions, wearing blue tunics and red skirts, and brown sandals. One humanoid inside the object appeared to be operating a 'taladro eléctrico' (electric drill), which Pereira suspected was a weapon. Another humanoid was digging the ground with a 'pala de plata' (silver shovel), while a third examined the tractor's engine. The humanoid inside the object then looked at Pereira and fired a luminous ball that struck him in the stomach, causing intense pain and paralysis.

After the beings returned to the artifact, it ascended slowly and disappeared without sound. Pereira, weakened, sought help and was examined by Dr. Antonio Geris, who found no anomalies. He was later taken to a military base for questioning by Brazilian investigators, possibly from the IV COMAR's SIOANI group. Pereira lost nearly 7 kilos in the week following the encounter.

The article notes that while the appearance of these humanoids differs from the French case, common elements like landing, ground inspection (ABR), and paralyzing lights persist. The author attributes the unusual attire, such as 'Roman sandals', to the witness's 'dream creativity' and the influence of Brazilian Carnival costumes, suggesting it's a 'hilarious and ridiculous detail' rather than a futuristic one.

Article 3: The Betty Hill Star Map

This section discusses the famous star map described by Betty Hill during hypnotic regressions conducted by Dr. Benjamin Simpson. When asked about their origin, her alleged captors showed her a map on a wall. Hill described it as oblong, wider than it was long, with numerous points of varying sizes and lines connecting them, including a large circle with many lines radiating outwards. She was told the thick lines represented trade routes, dotted lines represented places they visited, and dashed lines represented expedition routes.

Marjorie Fish, a professor from Ohio, spent years trying to identify the map's location. By hanging the points from the ceiling and viewing them from different perspectives, she eventually concluded that the map corresponded to the constellation Reticulum, specifically highlighting stars Zeta 1 and Zeta 2. The article notes that at the time of the regression (1964), this astronomical knowledge was not widely known, suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.

However, the article also presents skepticism. Charles W. Atterberg, in his book 'Verdicto OVNI' (1986), proposed a different identification of the map, suggesting a point in the Ophiuchus constellation from which the stars appeared to match the map. Atterberg identified 25 of the 26 stars mentioned by Hill, finding that many of the stars supposedly visited by the aliens were favorable for life. He highlighted Epsilon Eridani, Epsilon Indi, and Tau Ceti as particularly significant.

Astronomer Brett Hollan, in a 2008 article, questioned Fish's findings, stating that two points identified by Fish were variable stars, and others belonged to multiple star systems, making them unlikely candidates for the map. Hollan suggested that at least 6 of Fish's 15 identified points were unsustainable. The article concludes by suggesting a 'Theory of Distortion' as a potential explanation for the map's origin.

Article 4: The Betty Hill Map and the Normandy Invasion

Investigator Rich Reynolds discovered that Betty Hill had a map of the World War II Normandy landings in her office. He observed that this military map shared striking similarities with the alleged alien star map, particularly in the arrangement of points and connecting lines. Reynolds noted that the inclination of both maps was nearly identical, suggesting that the star map might be a 'mental distortion' or a modification of the military map, recontextualized with an 'extravagant' meaning.

The author questions the archaic format of a rolled-up map for interstellar travel, contrasting it with futuristic concepts like flat-screen computers or holographic projections. The article suggests that the map could have been 'imagined' by anyone in the 1960s and notes that the Hills had consulted road maps before their alleged abduction.

Conclusion: The Theory of Distortion

The article concludes by presenting the 'Theory of Distortion' as a possible explanation for UFO phenomena. It posits that the 'external agent' might be linked to the collective unconscious, interacting with limited human intelligence. Alternatively, it could be a system of manipulation or camouflage by unknown intelligences. The author suggests that the Betty Hill map might be a distorted version of a terrestrial map, reinterpreted within a specific context. The article frames the 'Theory of Distortion' as a starting point for further research into close encounters.

Article 5: Johann Wier: The Demonologist Who Investigated Satan's Traps

This extensive article focuses on Johann Wier (Ioannes Wierus), a 16th-century scholar, physician, and demonologist. It begins by describing the context of the witch hunts in the 16th century, where superstition was rampant and demons were believed to be omnipresent. Wier, however, questioned these superstitions, viewing Satan as a trickster.

The article highlights Wier's intellectual development, noting his early studies under the influential philosopher, cabalist, and alchemist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa of Nettersheim. Agrippa's work, particularly 'De Occulta Philosophia', divided the universe into elemental, celestial, and ceremonial realms, suggesting that humans could manipulate nature through various means, including invoking meteorological phenomena and miracles.

Wier's doctrine combined these fields, proposing that humans, as 'reduced demiurges', could interact with the Cosmos and Earth. His work was influenced by Neoplatonism and Kabbalah. He studied medicine in Paris and Orleans and later served in the court of William I of Cléveris, where he encountered demonology and witchcraft firsthand.

During his time in Arnhem in 1548, Wier was involved in a case against a diviner accused of witchcraft. He came to believe that the Devil could manipulate human imagination, thus absolving individuals of responsibility for their actions. Wier argued that Satan used sorcerers and witches as tools to access the world, employing optical effects and theatrical displays to create illusions.

He challenged the prevailing views, even opposing the 'Malleus Maleficarum', the infamous witch-hunting manual by Kramer and Sprenger. Wier's stance against witchcraft led to accusations of being a sorcerer himself, forcing him to flee and eventually leading to his death in Teklenburg in 1588.

The article mentions Wier's key works: 'De Praestigiis Daemonum' (1563), 'Pseudomonarchia Daemonum' (1577), and 'De Lamiis Liber' (1577). 'Pseudomonarchia Daemonum' is noted for its catalog of sixty-nine demons and their attributes, reportedly based on the 'Book of the Offices of Spirits' attributed to Solomon. Wier also drew from the anonymous French manuscript 'Livre des Esperitz', which listed forty-six demons.

The article concludes by listing sources for further research, including works on occult sciences, hidden philosophy, and the history of forbidden books.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the unexplained, historical accounts, and psychological interpretations. There's a recurring theme of questioning official narratives and seeking alternative explanations for phenomena, whether they be UFOs or historical beliefs about witchcraft. The editorial stance appears to favor in-depth investigation and analysis, presenting various perspectives, including skeptical viewpoints, while often leaning towards the possibility of genuine, unexplained phenomena. The 'Theory of Distortion' serves as an example of the magazine's attempt to provide frameworks for understanding complex and often contradictory evidence.

This issue of Phenomena, identified by its page number 31, features a prominent cover headline "ENSAYO EN EXOBIOLOGÍA" (Essay on Exobiology) by Wilfredo González Arce. The magazine delves into scientific and paranormal topics, with a strong emphasis on the possibility of life beyond Earth and the nature of ghosts.

Exobiology and Extremophiles

The article "Ensayo en Exobiología" by Wilfredo González Arce challenges the conventional scientific paradigm that life beyond Earth requires the same conditions as on our planet. The author argues that the existence of extremophile organisms on Earth, which thrive in environments previously thought to be uninhabitable (such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents, high-radiation areas, or oxygen-deprived zones), suggests that life could exist in diverse forms on other planets. Examples cited include bacteria that consume hydrocarbons, such as *Cycloclasticus Pugettii*, and extremophilic bacteria found in deep-sea caverns and hydrothermal vents that can survive extreme temperatures and pressures. The article also mentions organisms like the tardigrade, known for its resilience to extreme conditions, and the *Halicephalobus mephistos* worm found in South African caves. The author posits that if life was 'imported' to Earth, then extraterrestrial life might not be so different from what we know, and the universe is unlikely to be devoid of life.

The Nature of Ghosts and Apparitions

Another significant section, "¿POR QUÉ VEMOS A LOS FANTASMAS?" (Why Do We See Ghosts?), authored by Jorge Ríos, explores the phenomenon of ghosts and apparitions from various perspectives. The article traces the history of spiritualism, mentioning Allan Kardec and his book 'The Spirits' Book,' which popularized the belief in spirits surviving physical death. It discusses the work of G. N. M. Tyrrell and his classification of apparitions into four groups: projections of the individual, hallucinations, intelligent apparitions, and residual apparitions. The article also touches upon scientific explanations, including the theory that ghosts are a result of neural activity, specifically the atrophy of parietal brain areas responsible for visual perception, linking it to conditions like schizophrenia. It also explores the concept of St. Elmo's Fire as a potential explanation for luminous phenomena associated with apparitions, suggesting that when an entity crosses into our world, it creates an electrical potential difference, causing air ionization and a luminous plasma effect. The physicist Brian Cox is quoted stating that ghosts do not exist, suggesting that the interaction with particles outside our bodies would require an extension of the standard model of physics.

UFO Sightings in Cartagena, Colombia

The issue also features an article by Joe Carpio titled "OVNIS EN LA CIUDAD DE CARTAGENA DE INDIAS, COLOMBIA" (UFOs in the City of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia). This report details an increase in UFO sightings in Cartagena and its surrounding areas since 2011. Specific incidents include a mysterious blue light reported in Pasacaballos, which caused interference with electronics, and sightings of triangular craft. The article questions whether these sightings are related to the installation of US military bases in Colombia, listing several such bases in the country. It also mentions the Northrop Grumman X-47B drone as a potential source of confusion for some sightings, and discusses the possibility of advanced technology being tested in the region.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the boundaries between scientific inquiry and paranormal phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be open to exploring unconventional ideas, particularly in exobiology and the nature of consciousness after death, while also presenting scientific viewpoints and research. The recurring themes include the search for extraterrestrial life, the scientific and spiritual interpretations of ghosts and apparitions, and the investigation of unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs). The magazine encourages reader feedback, indicating a desire for dialogue on these complex subjects.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified by its cover headline "LOS ASESINATOS DEL YETI EN EKATERIMBURGO" (The Yeti Murders in Ekaterinburg), delves into a variety of mysterious and intriguing topics, spanning from unexplained deaths and paranormal phenomena to historical events and scientific endeavors.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident

The lead article details the tragic events of January 1959, when nine Soviet university students were found dead under mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains, an event now known as the Dyatlov Pass incident. The investigation into their deaths revealed bizarre details, including the tent being cut open from the inside, the bodies being found without adequate clothing for the extreme cold, and some victims suffering severe injuries inconsistent with hypothermia alone. Theories explored range from avalanches and animal attacks to more speculative explanations involving a 'Yeti' (Menk), military experiments, or even extraterrestrial involvement, particularly after photos from a recovered camera showed unexplained lights in the sky.

UFOs in Cartagena, Colombia

Another segment focuses on UFO sightings in Cartagena, Colombia, and its surrounding islands like Tierra Bomba and Barú. Witnesses have reported mysterious lights and objects, some described as 'Foo-fighter' type reconnaissance drones. The article notes that locals are often reluctant to discuss these sightings due to fear. The area is also mentioned for its historical significance and paranormal stories.

The Space Race and Russia's Role

The magazine touches upon the 'Space Race,' contrasting the romantic narrative of the US space program with Russia's (formerly Soviet Union's) contributions. It highlights early achievements like the dog Laika and Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space. The article questions whether Russians reached the Moon, citing engineer Adolfo Gandín Ocampo who claims Russian rockets reached the Moon and Mars, and that a cosmonaut's death was covered up. It also discusses the strategic importance of Helium-3, a lunar mineral that could revolutionize space travel and energy production, and mentions a controversial donation of land by Argentina to China for lunar projects.

Other Mysteries and Features

Further content includes a brief mention of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, linking it to historical events and cultural aspects. There's also a section on 'Curiosidades Prohibidas' (Forbidden Curiosities), which promises content on mysteries, lodges, UFOs, Illuminati, and biblical secrets. The magazine also features advertisements for related websites and publications, such as 'antiguosastronautas.com' and 'PLANETA UFO,' and promotes its own back issues and digital content.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Phenomena Magazine consistently explores themes of unexplained phenomena, historical mysteries, and potential extraterrestrial or paranormal influences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various theories and witness accounts without necessarily endorsing any single explanation. The magazine aims to inform its readers about events that challenge conventional understanding, encouraging critical thinking and further investigation.

This issue of 'DEMONIOS: La Serie.' focuses on 'El Fenómeno OVNI' (The UFO Phenomenon), exploring its evolution from simple object identification to a more complex and multifaceted enigma. The magazine features articles by Carlos Iurchuk and Carlos Bogdanich, alongside promotional material for Dolores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT).

The Evolving UFO Phenomenon

Carlos Iurchuk's article, "El Fenómeno OVNI," traces the historical development of the UFO topic. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the problem was considered relatively simple: identifying solid flying objects, with initial hypotheses pointing to Soviet spy planes or extraterrestrial craft. However, as years passed, the enigma became more complex. UFOs began to be perceived not just as objects, but also as lights, and some even seemed to exhibit characteristics of living beings, contracting and expanding as if breathing. The term 'flying object' (OVNI) also proved insufficient as these phenomena were observed flying, landing on Earth, moving underwater, and even phasing through solid matter like mountains. Iurchuk suggests that the phenomenon is more than just unidentified flying objects; it encompasses a broader range of events including apparitions of beings, ground marks, abductions, implants, cattle mutilations, and crop circles. He posits that these events have been occurring for centuries, if not millennia, and that each era has interpreted them differently, from 'flying shields' to 'fairy circles.' He proposes using the term 'UFO Phenomenon' to encompass all these related events, suggesting an underlying intelligence beyond the initial hypotheses of Soviet craft or extraterrestrials. This intelligence, he believes, is also connected to paranormal phenomena, ghosts, myths, legends, and religions. His personal quest is to uncover this intelligence.

Voyager's Cosmic Message and an Error

Carlos Bogdanich's article, "UN POLIZÓN EN LA VOYAGER" (A Stowaway on Voyager), discusses the Voyager space probes and their mission to explore the outer solar system and beyond. Launched 35 years prior, the probes carry a golden record containing a selection of music, greetings in 55 languages, and scientific information about Earth and humanity. This record serves as a 'humanity card' for potential extraterrestrial civilizations. Bogdanich highlights the technological achievement of the Voyager probes, especially their longevity and limited memory capacity compared to modern devices. However, he reveals a significant error discovered by investigator Juan Carlos Llorca: a photograph included on the record, initially captioned 'Man from Guatemala,' is actually of a man from Nicaragua. The photo was taken by a Japanese photographer working for the UN in the 1970s. Llorca's friend, a lawyer, initially considered pursuing rights for the man's image. Bogdanich reflects on the vastness of space and the potential for encountering intelligent civilizations, questioning whether they would be able to understand the complex information on the record. He also touches upon the 'risk premium' of being discovered by an intelligent entity, given humanity's current state and the potential for misinterpretation of our message.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)

The final section of the magazine promotes Dolores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). It describes QHHT as one of the most advanced healing techniques in the world, developed by a renowned author and hypnotherapist. The promotion details that courses are available online and in person worldwide, in multiple languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian, with more languages to be added. It emphasizes that there are thousands of practitioners globally and an accredited association for past-life therapists. QHHT offers a professional career choice with three levels of competency. A special offer provides a 10% discount with the code 'QHHTZEG' for stellar campaign purchases, valid for level one online and live classes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the mysteries of the unknown, from the evolving understanding of UFO phenomena to humanity's place in the cosmos as represented by the Voyager mission. There's a clear editorial stance that the UFO phenomenon is complex, ancient, and potentially indicative of a higher intelligence. The inclusion of QHHT suggests an interest in alternative healing and consciousness exploration, aligning with the broader themes of mystery and the unknown. The magazine encourages readers to question conventional explanations and to seek deeper understanding of these phenomena.
