Featured Articles

Enigmas del Cristianismo: Titulus Crucis

This extensive article by Pedro María Fernández examines the historical and scientific investigation of the Titulus Crucis, the inscription from Jesus's cross. It discusses the relic's presence in Rome, its purported origins, and the various analyses conducted, including paleographic studies and carbon-14 dating. Experts like Michael Hesemann, Gabriel Barkay, Hanan and Ester Eshel, Leah Di Segni, Israel Roll, Benjamin Isaac, Maria Luisa Rigato, and Carsten Peter Thiede offer their perspectives on its authenticity. The article highlights the challenges in dating the relic, with some studies suggesting a medieval origin for the current artifact, while others point to earlier periods, raising questions about potential sophisticated forgeries or the preservation of an original fragment.

La Increíble Historia de los Extraterrestres de "W56": El "UMMO" Italiano Silenciado Durante 50 Años

Authored by José Antonio Caravaca, this piece recounts the controversial "Case Amicizia," involving alleged contactees in Italy between 1956 and 1957. The article details claims of communication with extraterrestrials from the "W56" group, who purportedly had subterranean bases in Italy and other parts of the world. It describes alleged photographic evidence of the alien craft and its occupants, and the contactees' accounts of the aliens' origins, technology, and their role within a galactic confederation. The narrative suggests that the W56 presence in Italy ended around 1978 due to conflict with another extraterrestrial civilization known as "I Contrari" (CTR).

Editorial Stance and Publisher Information

The editorial, written by Darío Fernández, Editor of Phenomena Magazine en Español, announces internal changes and the magazine's transition towards book publishing through Flying Disk Press LatinoAmerica. This new venture aims to translate and publish UFO-themed books and provide opportunities for Latin American authors. The magazine is published under license by MAPIT, with its central office in Manchester, UK, and a Latin American office in Haedo, Argentina. The publication adheres to Creative Commons license (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, UFO phenomena, historical mysteries, and alternative interpretations of religious and historical events. The editorial stance appears to be one of open investigation and presentation of diverse viewpoints, encouraging readers to engage with complex and often controversial topics. The emphasis on scientific investigation, as stated in the masthead, suggests an approach that seeks evidence and reasoned analysis, even when dealing with subjects outside conventional understanding.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified as issue number 11, delves into two primary anomalous phenomena: a cryptid encounter in Puerto Rico and a historical UFO sighting in Argentina. The magazine also features articles on the theory of distortion and the nature of celestial objects and their occupants. The publication appears to be based in Spain, with content primarily in Spanish.

The Gargoyle of Puerto Rico

The lead story, "Tras la gárgola de Puerto Rico" by Javier Recines, details the ongoing threat of a creature described as a gargoyle in northern Puerto Rico. For months, this being has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of poultry and, more recently, has begun attacking humans. The creature is described as having large wings (1.5 to 2 meters), a height of 1.5 to 2 meters, black color, red eyes, and emitting a strong odor of rot and sulfur. Witnesses describe it as very strong and muscular, with an aggressive temperament, and emitting a characteristic growl that is a mix between a howl and a whistle. Its attack method appears to involve hypnotizing or paralyzing its victims before draining their blood, often leaving a hole in the neck or chest. Its diet seems to consist primarily of roosters, drawing parallels to the chupacabras phenomenon also reported on the island.

In response to the escalating attacks, residents, coordinated with the organization Voluntarios de Puerto Rico and the police, have organized searches. Expeditions, including those led by former military personnel and members of emergency management, have combed mountainous areas and caves around Barceloneta, a region believed to be the creature's lair. Despite efforts, including traps baited with roosters and stakeouts, the creature has evaded capture, though evidence such as claw marks and the characteristic odor have been found.

The attacks have continued, with some witnesses, including an agent from the Criminal Investigation Corps named Rubén de las Flores, having direct encounters. The agent reported using his service weapon to repel an attack, noting the creature's agility in evading bullets. Other reports include a child describing a small, wingless dog-like creature that moved on four legs and then two, exhibiting small wings on its rear, suggesting the possibility of younger or smaller specimens.

The local authorities, including the mayor of Barceloneta, Wanda Soler, have become involved, urging caution and officially joining the investigation. The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs is also participating, conducting analyses and autopsies on the deceased animals. The creature has been sighted across the island, with a recent incident at a school in Arecibo where it reportedly killed dozens of birds.

The article speculates that these sightings might be part of a larger wave of strange beings invading Puerto Rico, drawing parallels to other known cryptids like the 'vampire of Moca' and the 'chupacabras'. The phenomenon is seen as a manifestation of creatures that have populated the local imagination for decades.

"Soldados y OVNIS" (Soldiers and UFOs)

This section, written by Carlos Iurchuk, recounts a personal UFO encounter from 1978 in Argentina during a period of potential conflict with Chile. The author, then a soldier, was stationed near the border in Quilcha, close to Cerro Otto. He describes how local residents were accustomed to seeing lights in the sky, referring to them casually as "platos" (plates).

During a night watch, the author and his companions witnessed lights floating in the darkness. Initially dismissed by locals, the lights reappeared, described as red and yellow, and moved slowly. The object, when observed more closely, was identified as a disc-shaped craft, approximately 10 meters long (the size of three large cars), moving silently and without any visible propulsion. It ascended to their altitude, and the witnesses noted what appeared to be hatches. The object then disappeared with a flash.

The author also recounts another sighting in 1978 at Cerro Leones, near Bariloche. A military patrol witnessed a bright, yellow light emanating from a canyon. The light was described as incredible and lasted for seconds. They called their superior, who arrived to find only moonlight. The patrol described seeing lights below, but nothing was visible. Suddenly, a disc-shaped object, estimated to be about 10 meters long, ascended from the base of the opposite hill. It moved silently and appeared to have hatches. The object's center did not move, and it gave the impression of having escotillas (hatches).

The author notes that the experience was so profound that he and his comrades had difficulty recalling the exact details of what happened immediately afterward, describing it as fragmented memories.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores anomalous phenomena, including cryptids, UFOs, and unexplained events. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and reporting on witness accounts and ongoing investigations, without necessarily offering definitive conclusions. There is a clear interest in historical cases and the broader implications of these phenomena, including their potential connection to national security and the human psyche. The publication aims to be a platform for sharing such stories and fostering discussion within the paranormal and ufological communities.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated November 2015, delves into a variety of intriguing topics related to unexplained aerial phenomena and historical mysteries. The cover story, "What happened in the skies of Mendoza on the afternoon of March 4, 1861?", highlights a significant historical event that preceded a major earthquake.

Letter to French Political Parties

The magazine opens with a letter from Jacky Kozan, Coordinator of the Academy of Ufology, to French political parties. The letter emphasizes that reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) deserve serious consideration beyond simple confusion. It argues that alien intrusions pose a risk to cultural identities and should be a high-level political concern. The letter also mentions GEIPAN, an organization within CNES established in 1976 to collect statistics on UFO sightings, though it notes GEIPAN is not accused of exhaustive scientific study of the phenomenon's nature or objectives.

Muhammad Ali and UFOs

The issue features an account of Muhammad Ali's personal experiences with UFOs and alleged alien contact. His first reported sighting occurred in 1970 when he observed a brightly lit object. He described it as a brilliant light hovering, initially mistaking it for a helicopter's spotlight before realizing it was a distinct object. He later recounted another experience where a large, cigar-shaped object passed over his vehicle. Ali claimed to have witnessed UFOs on 16 occasions, which significantly altered his perspective on the subject.

The Night Aliens Visited John Lennon

This section recounts an alleged encounter by John Lennon with extraterrestrial beings. According to Uri Geller, Lennon described beings with insect-like features and strange, small mouths, who left behind an egg-shaped object. Lennon reportedly shared this object with Geller, calling it rare and unusual. Lennon also expressed his belief in extraterrestrial life and that they might be observing Earth.

The Argentine Rainmaker: Juan Baigorri Velar

The magazine profiles Juan Baigorri Velar, an Argentine engineer who claimed to have the ability to induce rainfall. His method involved a device combining radioactive metals, electrical batteries, and antennas. He reportedly demonstrated this technology in Santiago del Estero and Buenos Aires, and later in San Juan and La Pampa, where he claimed to have caused significant rainfall, leading to abundant harvests. Despite his claims, Baigorri faced skepticism and attempts to discredit him, and he died in poverty.

The Mendoza Phenomenon of March 4, 1861

This article extensively details a historical event in Mendoza, Argentina. Eusebio Blanco, a prominent politician and viticulturist, reported witnessing a large, noisy, and luminous fireball in the sky on the evening of March 4, 1861. This event preceded the devastating earthquake that struck Mendoza on March 20, 1861. Blanco's testimony, recorded years later, described the object as a "ball of fire" emitting sparks and a loud noise, moving at low altitude. The phenomenon was reportedly also observed in Entre Ríos (Argentina), Concepción (Chile), and Northern Brazil within a short timeframe, suggesting high speed. The article explores the hypothesis that the object was a meteor or bolide, but also considers it in the context of pre-earthquake phenomena.

Pre-Seismic Phenomena

The issue discusses various non-seismic phenomena reported before earthquakes, including changes in water levels, fog, seismic lights (flame-like or spherical lights emerging from the ground), electromagnetic anomalies, and possible human premonitions. It cites research by Friedemann Freund, who suggests that seismic lights might be caused by electrical discharges from stressed rocks containing quartz. These phenomena are considered rare, occurring in less than 0.5% of earthquakes, and have been observed globally.

Conclusion

The article on the Mendoza event concludes by noting that while the "ball of fire" described by Eusebio Blanco might not perfectly fit the scientific explanation of seismic lights, it bears similarities to "meteors" observed during the earthquake's aftershocks. The need for more information from other locations where the phenomenon might have been seen is highlighted to better define its nature.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena, historical events, and scientific inquiry. It presents anecdotal evidence alongside scientific hypotheses, encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations for unusual occurrences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation into topics often relegated to the fringes of mainstream discourse, such as UFOs, alien contact, and anomalous natural events. The publication also highlights the importance of historical research in understanding these phenomena, as seen in the detailed account of the Mendoza event.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified as issue 31, features a prominent cover story titled "LOS DISCOS DE BAIAN-KARA-OULA" (The Discs of Baian-Kara-Oula) by Raúl Avellaneda. The magazine explores themes of ancient mysteries, UFOs, and paranormal phenomena, with a significant portion dedicated to the Baian-Kara-Oula discs and the Amityville haunting.

The Discs of Baian-Kara-Oula

Raúl Avellaneda's article details the discovery of 716 stone discs in the Baian-Kara-Oula region, located on the border between China and Tibet. These discs, approximately one meter in diameter and perforated in the center, feature strange bas-relief inscriptions. The region is also home to the Dropas, a small-statured people who believe they descended from star beings. In 1938, Chinese professor Tschi Pu Tei led an expedition that uncovered caves containing funeral chambers with small skeletons and wall carvings depicting beings with spherical helmets, stars, the Sun, and the Moon. The discs themselves are described as having a strong magnetism, possibly due to prolonged exposure to intense electromagnetic fields. Investigations suggest that the beings buried there arrived on Earth about 12,000 years ago, possibly unable to return to their home planet, and settled in the area, teaching the native Dropas agriculture and other knowledge, leading to their rapid development.

The article notes that the age of these stone discs cannot be determined by carbon dating. Despite ongoing research to decipher the inscriptions, the material disappeared during the communist government of Mao-Tse-Tung. The author posits that highly developed beings with superior knowledge may have assisted early human ancestors in organizing their societies and developing agriculture.

Connection to South America

Avellaneda draws a parallel between the Baian-Kara-Oula discs and similar findings in South America. During a trip to the Misiones province in Argentina, he visited the ruins of San Ignacio Miní, a Jesuit settlement. There, in a small museum, he discovered a large stone disc with notches, identified as a "grinding wheel." He describes his excitement at finding an object similar to those from Baian-Kara-Oula in Argentina. He also mentions visiting Capilla del Monte and Alta Gracia in Córdoba province, where similar smooth stone discs, also identified as grinding wheels, were found. The author questions whether these were indeed just grinding wheels or if they held a deeper significance, possibly related to the extraterrestrial visitors.

He discusses the Jesuit missions in Argentina and their role in evangelizing and protecting indigenous populations. The presence of these discs in Jesuit sites raises questions about potential hidden knowledge held by the Jesuits, their expulsion from these lands, and the source of their power.

The Amityville Horror

The magazine also features an article by Marina Torres titled "La historia real de AMITYVILLE" (The Real Story of Amityville). It recounts the horrific events of November 13, 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his six family members at their home in Amityville, New York. The article details the crime, DeFeo's confession, and the subsequent trial where he was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences. It then shifts to the Lutz family—George, Kathy, and their three children—who moved into the DeFeo house a month later. They reportedly experienced a series of terrifying paranormal events over 28 days, leading them to flee the house in the middle of the night, thus igniting the legend of the Amityville Horror.

The article lists the DeFeo family members who were murdered: Ronald DeFeo Sr. (43), Louise DeFeo (42), Dawn DeFeo (18), Allison DeFeo (13), Marc DeFeo (11), and John DeFeo (9). It also mentions the Lutz family members: George, Kathy, Daniel, Missy, Christopher, and Kathleen. The paranormal phenomena reported by the Lutzs included drastic temperature drops, red eyes observing from windows, apparitions, and swarms of flies despite it being winter. George Lutz reportedly woke up almost every night at 3:15 AM, the presumed time of the murders. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren supported the theory of a demonic presence in the house.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the enduring mysteries of ancient civilizations, the possibility of extraterrestrial contact influencing human history, and unexplained paranormal phenomena. The magazine appears to adopt an investigative and open-minded stance, presenting evidence and theories from various researchers and authors, encouraging readers to explore these complex topics. The editorial stance is one of curiosity and a search for hidden truths, bridging the gap between historical artifacts, alleged paranormal events, and potential extraterrestrial involvement.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified as issue number 41, delves into a variety of historical and esoteric topics, with a strong focus on ancient technology, the history of optics, and the origins of popular celebrations. The content spans discussions on ancient lenses, the development of eyeglasses, the mystical properties of mirrors, and a detailed exploration of the pagan roots of Christmas.

Ancient Lenses and the History of Optics

The magazine begins by examining the existence of lenses in antiquity, specifically highlighting the "Layard lens" or "Ninive lens." This artifact, made of quartz and dating back to the 7th century BCE, challenges conventional notions of ancient technological capabilities. It is described as a plano-convex toroidal lens, possibly part of a larger optical instrument, and was discovered by Austen Henry Layard in Nimrud, the ancient capital of Assyria. The article questions its origin, suggesting it might have been captured as booty during a conquest. The lens's precise purpose and the sophistication required for its creation suggest it belonged to someone of high status.

The discussion then broadens to the history of vision correction and the invention of eyeglasses. It references figures like Hieronymus of Estridon, Alhazen, and Roger Bacon, who made significant contributions to the understanding of optics. Alhazen, an Iraqi scholar of the 9th century, made notable advancements in optics, and his work influenced medieval scholars who developed "reading stones." The article posits that the invention of eyeglasses, though often attributed to a specific artisan in late 13th-century Italy, has a complex history with roots in earlier optical studies.

The Evolution of Eyeglasses and Optical Instruments

Further exploring the development of optical instruments, the magazine touches upon the work of Robert Grosseteste and Roger Bacon. Grosseteste's cosmological theories, which viewed light as the fundamental element of creation, influenced his disciples. Roger Bacon, in particular, formulated theories about how combinations of lenses could form telescopes. While Bacon's theories were advanced, the article notes a lack of concrete proof that he actually constructed such devices.

The text also mentions the use of polished obsidian and later glass lenses, with early glass lenses being developed in Murano, Italy, around 1507. The Venetian artisans guarded the secret of their manufacture fiercely, even enacting laws against those who deceived customers. This secrecy extended to other mysterious optical devices, such as "magical mirrors."

Magical Mirrors and Divination

The concept of magical mirrors is explored, noting their ancient origins, with some dating back over 4,000 years and originating from China. These mirrors were often considered miraculous objects. The article references the Greek historian Pausanias, who described an oracle in Cineas where people would gaze into a mirror to divine the future or the health of the sick. In medieval times, mirrors were associated with magic, and various forms of divination, such as catoptromancy (divination through mirrors) and crystallomancy (divination through crystal), were practiced. These practices aimed to predict the future, locate criminals, or find lost objects.

The Pagan Origins of Christmas

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to examining the origins of the Christmas celebration, specifically the date of December 25th. The article questions whether this date accurately reflects the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. It suggests that the Catholic Church may have adopted this date to supplant or overshadow existing pagan festivals that occurred around the winter solstice. Examples cited include the Roman festival of Natalis Solis Invicti (Birth of the Unconquered Sun), associated with the god Apollo, and the Saturnalia festival honoring Saturn. Other cultures, such as Germanic, Scandinavian, Inca, Aztec, Egyptian, and Persian traditions, also celebrated significant events around this time, often related to the sun or deities like Frey, Inti, Huitzilopochtli, Horus, Dioniso, Baco, Mitra, and Zoroaster.

The article further explores hypotheses about the actual birth date of Jesus, suggesting it might have occurred between September and October, based on biblical accounts of shepherds tending their flocks outdoors. It also mentions the theory proposed by J.J. Benítez, citing the Urantia Book, which places the birth on August 21st, 7 BCE. The piece concludes by noting that December 25th has evolved from a religious observance to a commercial one, similar to Halloween.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of hidden histories, ancient mysteries, and alternative interpretations of historical events and traditions. There is a clear interest in challenging mainstream narratives and uncovering the less-known or esoteric aspects of human culture and belief systems. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various theories and historical accounts without necessarily endorsing one over another, encouraging readers to form their own conclusions. The inclusion of sections like "Curiosidades Prohibidas" and the overall focus on "Universo Oculto" (Hidden Universe) suggest a leaning towards the unexplained and the unconventional.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified as issue 51 and dated October 2018, is primarily focused on past issues and UFO-related phenomena. The cover headline, "Números Anteriores" (Previous Issues), suggests a retrospective or archival theme. The magazine is published in Spanish and originates from Argentina.

Cover Content

The cover prominently displays a stack of various Phenomena Magazine issues, highlighting titles such as "La Teoría Distorsión" (The Distortion Theory), "Las Mol" (The Moles), "Halloween", "Reportaje a Raul Avellaneda" (Report on Raul Avellaneda), "Mutilaciones Animales" (Animal Mutilations), "Pucciones", and "Triangulares" (Triangular).

Article 1: Extraña Huella Hallada en un Campo Cercano en Necochea (Argentina)

This article, authored by Guillermo D. Giménez, details the discovery of a large, perfect circular footprint in a wheat field near Necochea, Argentina, on December 24, 2013. The author was informed about the case through investigator Fabio Zerpa and his foundation. The footprint, measuring 11 meters in diameter, was found in a wheat field and maintained its integrity despite the passage of time. The article notes that the land owner requested anonymity to prevent the site from becoming a tourist attraction. The operator of a grain storage plant first noticed the anomaly while harvesting wheat. The investigation revealed that the earth within the circle was dry, and no insects were observed. The wheat stalks were flattened and oriented clockwise. The article also mentions a report from a neighboring farmer about two smaller perfect circles connected by a triangle found previously, though this testimony could not be corroborated as the ground had been raked.

The article further recounts historical UFO-related incidents in the Necochea area. It cites the discovery of a 6-meter diameter ring by pilot Carlos Alberto Martínez on November 9, 1968, near the Aero Club General Necochea, where the earth appeared calcined and eight holes were found. Another incident involved Basilio Lichowski discovering a 1.5-meter diameter circle covered in mushrooms in his garden on February 4, 1988. The same day, a woman named Amelia G. reported a close encounter with UFO occupants, known as the "Caso Amelia, Contacto en Necochea." Additionally, the article mentions the discovery of larger circles a week later in the stadium of the Sociedad Rural, where young individuals found a circle with a 5-meter diameter surrounded by smaller ones. The common characteristic in these cases was darker grass and the presence of mushrooms.

The article concludes by stating that the Necochea area received numerous UFO sightings throughout 2013, with many cases documented through photographs and film. The discovered footprint is considered physical evidence of a UFO phenomenon, not a natural occurrence or human manipulation.

Article 2: Once Upon a Missing Time - La Película

This section features an interview conducted by Chris Evers, Editor of Outer Limits Magazine, with Nassim Abassi, the director of the upcoming film adaptation of Philip Mantle's novel "Once Upon a Missing Time." The novel is set to be released as a film in early 2019.

Nassim Abassi describes himself as a filmmaker who loves good stories and was inspired by graphic novels and comics in his youth. He transitioned to filmmaking after discovering the power of cinema. He has directed four feature films and created his own production company, "Moondust Production." His first feature, "Majid" (2011), received numerous awards and was selected for over 30 international festivals. Currently, he is involved in several film and television projects, including the adaptation of Mantle's novel.

Regarding his favorite UFO-related film, Abassi cites Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" as a prime example, noting its explicit investigation into the possibility of extraterrestrial life. He mentions being fascinated by the film as a teenager and recalls Kubrick's intention to include an alien representation at the end, which was ultimately abandoned. The black monolith remains the sole alien presence in the film.

Abassi confirms that he has not produced or been involved with other OVNI-based films or TV series, expressing excitement about this project. He explains that the production timeline depends on securing funding and investors. The film will focus on the encounter described in Mantle's novel.

Abassi expresses a strong personal interest in UFOs and science fiction, stemming from his childhood fascination with books, graphic novels, and films. He mentions being a fan of "Star Trek" and "Space 1999," as well as the Japanese manga "UFO Grandizer." He also enjoyed the French comedy film "Le Gendarme et les Extra-terrestres."

When asked about adapting Mantle's novel, Abassi explains that he discovered Mantle through social media and was intrigued by his expertise. He inquired about adapting Mantle's OVNI cases into a film, learning that Mantle had already written a novel based on his research. Abassi was captivated by the novel, which he read in one sitting, finding it clearly based on real OVNI cases. He has signed an option agreement with his production company, "Moondust Production," to adapt the novel.

Abassi's vision for the film is influenced by Denis Villeneuve's "Arrival" (2016) for its cinematography, alien creatures, and overall harmony with the story, and Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) for its exploration of the emotional consequences for the protagonist. He aims for a similar level of emotional depth and a strong emotional core for the main character, a family man who experiences his first close encounter.

He hopes to film in Yorkshire, England, the setting of the novel, due to its beautiful landscapes and personal connection. While he wants to cast talented actors for various roles, he aims to secure a well-known star for the main character to help raise awareness and secure funding.

Abassi is confident about the project's success, citing the current real interest in OVNI themes as evidenced by recent film and TV releases. He believes that with a strong script, the project can move forward.

He concludes by thanking The Outer Limits Magazine for the opportunity to share their project with the OVNI community and expresses his enthusiasm for making this dream a reality soon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO sightings, paranormal phenomena, and unexplained events, with a particular focus on cases from Argentina. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and documentation of these phenomena, presenting witness accounts, photographic evidence, and expert opinions. The interview with Nassim Abassi highlights the growing interest in UFO-themed media and the potential for cinematic adaptations of real-life cases.
