Content Highlights

The Lost Colony of Roanoke

The main cover story, "LA COLONIA PERDIDA DE ROANOKE," is explored in an article by Darío Fernández. The article suggests that the mystery of the lost colony is not supernatural and that evidence is emerging to explain what truly happened.

"Demonios" Series: Triangular UFOs

Carlos Iurchuk presents "DEMONIOS: La Serie. OVNIs Triangulares: 10 Historias." This section compiles ten witness accounts of triangular or boomerang-shaped UFOs. Iurchuk emphasizes that these are accounts from witnesses or third parties, and due to the passage of time or lack of evidence, they cannot be deeply investigated. The goal is to preserve these stories. Several incidents occurred in 1999, particularly in January.

Specific Sightings from the "Demonios" Series:

• October/November 1989 (Villa Allende, Córdoba, Argentina): A witness recalls seeing a giant boomerang-shaped object with internal lights, which hovered, spun, and disappeared.
• January 9, 1999 (Ranchos, Buenos Aires, Argentina): Two individuals reported seeing a giant, fire-yellow, balloon-like object with a triangular base and two flashing red lights. The object made a sharp turn and sped away.
• January 24, 1999 (Buenos Aires, Argentina): A witness observed a flotilla of "brilliant UFOs," including two large cigar-shaped craft and a large triangle emitting violet light.
• January 25, 1999 (Junín, Buenos Aires, Argentina): A witness described a metallic, cylindrical object moving at high speed, reflecting sunlight, with no visible lights or wings. The witness planned to contact the local aerodrome for information.
• January 29, 1999 (Cerro Uritorco, Córdoba, Argentina): Four children reportedly saw a delta-wing-shaped UFO with a teardrop tip, about the size of a Fiat 600, at very close range. The object entered the hill or disintegrated.
• January 25, 1999 (Buenos Aires, Argentina): A witness described a large, dark, boomerang-shaped object with many small lights, moving at high speed without noise, and then vanishing.
• September 3, 1999 (Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina): Siblings observed a black triangle with three white lights, estimated to be 200 meters wide, exhibiting jerky movements before ascending into the clouds.
• November 7, 2006 (Posadas, Misiones, Argentina): Witnesses observed 4 to 6 luminous objects performing various maneuvers, including a boomerang-shaped object with white and blue lights.
• January 26, 2007 (Piedra del Águila, Neuquén, Argentina): Witnesses saw a brilliant, silver, round or spherical object surrounded by a spinning boomerang, which then vanished.
• February 2007 (Villa General Belgrano, Córdoba, Argentina): A witness heard a buzzing sound and saw a triangular UFO over her house.

Article: OVNI en Szczytnik (Polonia), 14-07-2016

Piotr Gadaj recounts his personal observation of an unidentified flying object (UFO) in Szczytnik, Poland, on July 14, 2016. While on a walk, he and three other residents observed a silent, white, egg-shaped object moving from east to north. The object remained visible for about three minutes before disappearing into the clouds. Gadaj, an experienced observer of aircraft, ruled out conventional explanations and concluded it was an Unidentified Flying Object. He notes that one of the witnesses, Sr. Lucjan, has had previous sightings.

Article: EL REFORMATORIO DE MANSFIELD: PRESOS QUE NUNCA SE FUERON...

This extensive article explores the history and paranormal reputation of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. Originally established in 1861 as a training camp for Civil War soldiers, it became the Intermediate Penitentiary in 1867 and later the Ohio State Reformatory. The construction, overseen by architect Levi T. Scofield, was completed in 1910. The facility was designed to house young offenders and served as a middle ground between other correctional institutions. The article details its operational history, including its closure in 1990 due to a class-action lawsuit citing inhumane conditions. The building's unique architectural styles, including Victorian Gothic, Romanesque, Richardsonian, and Queen Anne, are mentioned. The reformatory is now a museum managed by the Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society, which offers tours to fund restoration projects. The article highlights the prison's dark past, including inmate deaths from disease, influenza, tuberculosis, and violent incidents, as well as the deaths of guards. It mentions the cemetery across the street where unclaimed bodies are buried. The reformatory is widely considered one of the most haunted places on Earth, with numerous reports of apparitions, shadow figures, unexplained noises, and physical attacks. The article also touches upon the building's use for paranormal tours during Halloween.

Article: EL MISTERIO DE LAS MINAS DEL REY SALOMON

This article investigates the legendary wealth of King Solomon and the mystery surrounding the mines that provided him with vast riches. It discusses the biblical account of the construction of the magnificent Temple in Jerusalem, which housed the Ark of the Covenant, an object described as being of advanced technology. The article posits that Hiram Abif, the master builder, was instrumental in this construction. It explores the question of Solomon's immense wealth, suggesting that the mines might have been located in Ophir. Modern archaeological research, particularly by a group led by Dr. Robert W. Luce, points to the ruins of a temple complex in Yemen, the ancient land of Sheba, as a possible location. Investigations into the mountainous regions of Saudi Arabia have identified a site called Mahd adh Dhahab, meaning "cradle of gold," as a significant source of gold, silver, and other metals, which Luce concludes was likely the source of King Solomon's gold.

Article: ¿TERMINARÁN LAS ESTRELLAS DEL UNIVERSO ENGULLIDAS POR LOS AGUJEROS NEGROS SUPERMASIVOS DE LAS GALAXIAS?

This scientific article, authored by Luis Dévora, explores the theoretical implications of gravity and energy in celestial mechanics, particularly concerning the fate of stars in the universe. It explains the concepts of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy and how they relate to objects in orbit. The article introduces the concept of gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein and detected by the LIGO Observatory, which carry energy away from orbiting bodies. This energy loss causes celestial objects to gradually approach their central body. The author concludes that gravitational waves are likely responsible for stars being consumed by supermassive black holes in galaxies, with only those that escape galactic interactions surviving. However, the article reassures readers that this process will not occur in the short term, as the time required for decay depends on the distance between the objects.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, including UFOs, paranormal phenomena, haunted locations, ancient mysteries, and speculative science. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting both eyewitness accounts and scientific or historical investigations. The publication aims to inform and engage readers interested in the more mysterious aspects of reality, as suggested by its title and the content of its articles and book promotions.

This issue of PHENOMENA magazine, identified by its issue number 21, delves into a variety of intriguing and often controversial topics, primarily focusing on historical enigmas, scientific debates, and unexplained phenomena. The cover prominently features a portrait of Christopher Columbus, with the headline "Los Enigmas En Torno a Cristóbal Colón" (The Enigmas Surrounding Christopher Columbus), signaling a central theme of the publication.

The Enigmas Surrounding Christopher Columbus

The article "Los Enigmas En Torno a Cristóbal Colón" by Rocío Moreira explores several mysteries associated with the famous explorer. One key point of discussion is the tomb of Pope Innocent VIII in St. Peter's Basilica, Rome. An inscription on the tomb reads "Novi orbis suo aevo inventi gloria" (His is the glory of the discovery of the New World), yet historical records indicate Pope Innocent VIII died in 1492, a week before Columbus set sail in 1492. This discrepancy raises questions, especially since the inscription suggests the discovery occurred in 1493, when Rodrigo Borgia (Alexander VI) was Pope. The article also references Ruggero Marino's 1997 essay, "Cristoforo Colombo e il Papa Tradito" (Christopher Columbus and the Betrayed Pope), which posits that in 1490, the Pope was concerned about the advance of Muslims in the Mediterranean, particularly after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Marino suggests a strategy for a crusade was devised, involving dividing Europe into three armies, but this plan failed due to the unexpected death of the King of Hungary.

Marino further hypothesizes that Columbus might have been the illegitimate son of Pope Innocent VIII, citing physical resemblances and the fact that Columbus allegedly concealed his origins due to his father being a Pope of Jewish ancestry. The name "Cuba" is also linked to the Pope's surname, Cybo. The article notes that the only known book written by Columbus is "El Libro de las Profecías" (The Book of Prophecies), housed in the Cathedral of Seville, which contains 385 biblical citations and expresses Columbus's belief that he was divinely predestined to discover the Indies and fund the reconquest of Jerusalem.

Another significant theory presented is from writer Modesto Manuel Doval Montes in his book "La Emigración Gallega en México." He suggests that Columbus was actually a Galician nobleman named Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayor (also known as Pedro Madruga). Evidence cited includes the main ship of Columbus's first voyage, the Santa María, being known as "La Gallega," and that the ship was built in Pontevedra, Spain, with a crew largely from the same region. Doval Montes also points out that Columbus used Galician place names for discovered lands and that a calligraphic study in 2007 indicated the handwriting of Columbus and Sotomayor were identical. The article questions how Columbus was made viceroy before the discovery and suggests he might have known about the lands beforehand, possibly linked to the Knights Templar's prior presence in America.

The Impossible Footprints of the Paluxy River

An article by Pedro María Fernández, "Las Imposibles Huellas del Río Paluxi" (The Impossible Footprints of the Paluxy River), discusses the controversial discovery of human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints in Texas, USA. These footprints are found on rock dated to over 250 million years ago. The article frames this discovery within the context of the 1931 US economic crisis and the ensuing ideological battle between evolutionists and creationists.

Evolutionists adhere to Darwin's theories, suggesting all life evolved from simpler forms. Creationists, following the dogma of Irish Archbishop James Ussher, believe the Earth and its inhabitants were created by God in 4004 BC. The Paluxy River enigma became a focal point in this debate. Initial findings in 1908 revealed dinosaur footprints, identified as belonging to an Acrocanthosaurus. However, the presence of human-like footprints alongside them challenged scientific understanding, as humans and dinosaurs are believed to have lived millions of years apart.

Several scientists, including Glein Kuban, examined the footprints. Kuban suggested they were "human-like" dinosaur footprints, while others proposed they were deformed marks. Dale Patterson, in the 1990s, concluded they were human footprints, despite the ancient geological dating. The article notes that both evolutionist and creationist explanations have failed to fully resolve the mystery. Another similar discovery of human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints occurred in Valdecevillo, Spain, dating back 120 million years. The author ponders whether an earlier human civilization coexisted with dinosaurs or if hominids appeared much earlier than currently believed.

The Age of the Earth and Life

Further articles explore the scientific understanding of the Earth's age and the origins of life. James Ussher's chronology, which placed the creation of the world in 4004 BC, is discussed. While Ussher's dating was influential among some Christian denominations and creationalist groups, it has been largely rejected by official science since the late 17th century. Modern scientific estimates place the age of the Universe at 12-13 billion years and the Earth at about 4.5 billion years. The earliest evidence of life comes from microfossils dating back 3.8 billion years, with more complex life forms appearing later.

The Lost Technology of Atlantis

An article titled "La Tecnología Perdida de la Atlántida: CIENCIA IMPOSIBLE" (The Lost Technology of Atlantis: Impossible Science), by Débora Goldstern, continues a previous discussion on the lost continent. It focuses on the discovery of a crystal by Ray Brown, which is believed to have been used by Atlanteans as an energy source. The crystal, described as having a six-sided shape, was reportedly found in the ocean. Cayce's readings are mentioned, which also spoke of crystals being used in Atlantis and causing its downfall. The crystal found by Brown is said to have amplified energy, facilitated communication, and potentially been the source of Atlantean technology. Experiments with the crystal reportedly showed it could alter compass needles, magnetize metals, and even induce healing in individuals, though it also transferred ailments. The article notes that the crystal's whereabouts and that of Ray Brown are currently unknown, suggesting it may have been purchased by a private collector.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores topics that challenge conventional scientific and historical narratives. There is a clear interest in ancient mysteries, unexplained phenomena, and alternative theories, such as those concerning Christopher Columbus's origins, the existence of prehistoric human-dinosaur coexistence, and the advanced technology of lost civilizations like Atlantis. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various hypotheses and evidence, even if they are controversial or not widely accepted by mainstream science. The publication encourages readers to consider these possibilities and engage with the presented information critically.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated 2019, delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena, UFO sightings, and ancient mysteries. The publication appears to be a Spanish-language magazine focused on paranormal and ufological topics, with contributions from various investigators and witnesses.

The Licancabur Crystal Sphere

The issue opens with a report on a purported discovery at the Licancabur volcano in Chile. Henry García, a diver associated with Jacques Costeau, is said to have found a crystal sphere in the crater lake. Ana María Barón, an archaeologist who participated in an expedition to the volcano, provided a photograph of the sphere and recounted her experience. She described the sphere as extraordinary and brilliant, and mentioned that Henry García presented it to her. Barón reported feeling a special energy from the sphere, which seemed to stop time and liberate her from negativity. She also noted that the sphere began to burn Henry's glove. The sphere was accidentally dropped into the lake while trying to get a better angle for filming and was not recovered. Barón presented her findings at an archaeology congress in Chile but was reportedly dismissed as being "crazy." The article speculates that the sphere might have been made of a transparent crystal capable of concentrating sunlight.

The Pascagoula Abduction Case

The magazine revisits the classic Pascagoula, Mississippi, UFO abduction case of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker from October 11, 1973. The article includes an account from Jay Michael Long, who was twelve years old at the time and witnessed an orange UFO moving slowly towards his house on the same night as the Pascagoula incident. Long describes the object as a bright orange light above the trees, moving at a constant pace. He felt intense fear and the impression that the object was looking for something or someone. The object eventually moved south and disappeared over the horizon. Long also mentions hearing adults joke about "those two guys" on the coast being picked up by a UFO the following week. He notes that his interest in UFOs began after reading Ralph Blum's book "Beyond Earth: Man's Contact with UFOs," which detailed the Pascagoula case. Long has had several UFO sightings since then, including a silver, car-sized object in 1975. He has maintained an interest in UFOs for decades and even created a website for UFO reports in Mississippi.

The Dashka Stone: A 120-Million-Year-Old Map

Another significant article discusses the "Dashka Stone," an artifact dated to 120 million years old. Professor Alexandre Chuvyrov of the Russian State University of Bachkiria and Professor Huan Hun reportedly found manuscripts from the 17th and 18th centuries mentioning around 200 inscribed slabs near the village of Chandar in the Urals region. In 1999, Vladimir Krainov, former president of the Agricultural Council of Chandar, possessed one of these mysterious slabs. The Dashka Stone is described as a massive slab weighing 1,000 kg, measuring 1.48 meters in height, 1.06 meters in width, and 16 centimeters in thickness. It features a smooth, three-dimensional map (scale 1:1.1 cm/km) accompanied by an unknown script, initially mistaken for ancient Chinese. The article suggests that the stone is not a natural formation but rather a piece of a larger, giant map requiring advanced technology for its creation. Geologically, it is described as having three layers: a firm dolomite layer, a diopside crystal layer containing the map, and a thin calcium porcelain layer. The map is identified as depicting the region of Bashkiria, showing geographical features like the Ufa River and the Sutolka and Belya rivers, and includes immense irrigation systems and up to twelve reservoirs, indicating sophisticated ancient engineering. Scientists believe it may be a small part of a vast, three-dimensional map of the planet.

Mysterious Creature Remains on Alicante Coast

The magazine also reports on the discovery of unusual remains on the coast of Alicante, Spain, in August 2018. Javier Martínez and his partner found the carcass of an elongated creature, approximately two meters long, on a beach known for accumulating debris. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, they initially left it. Upon a subsequent visit, Martínez decided to collect the remains to investigate its species. After cleaning the flesh, he took photographs and consulted specialists, including those from the Natural Science Museum of Madrid, who tentatively identified it as possibly belonging to an unusual type of shark. However, Martínez remained unconvinced and continued his research. He later contacted the author, Javier Resines, who received photographs of the remains and the location.

Other Content and Features

The issue also includes sections on "Demonios," "Flying Dish Press," and "Café Ufológico," suggesting a broader coverage of paranormal and esoteric topics. There are also advertisements for books related to UFOs and mysteries, including works by Jason Gleaves, Stefanos Panagiotakis, Paul Stonehill, and Philip Mantle. The magazine also features a section for reader submissions and advertising space. The publication seems to be a hub for information exchange and discussion within the UFO and paranormal community in Spanish-speaking regions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries, and purported evidence of advanced ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting witness accounts, investigative reports, and archaeological findings that challenge conventional explanations. The magazine encourages reader participation and aims to foster a community of researchers and enthusiasts interested in these topics.

This issue of PHENOMENA, identified by its page number 41, delves into a variety of intriguing topics, primarily focusing on cryptozoology, historical mysteries, and esoteric thought. The magazine presents a collection of articles that explore unexplained phenomena, from the identification of unusual marine animal carcasses to the enduring enigma of lost colonies and the complex spiritual and philosophical ideas of historical figures.

Article: Marine Animal Remains and Cryptozoological Hypotheses

The issue begins with an investigation into the discovery of a large skeleton, approximately 1.80 meters long, found on a beach in Alicante, Spain. The remains include a bone skeleton, a skull, and a vertebra, initially sparking speculation about its origin. The article presents several hypotheses offered by experts and readers:

• Hypothesis 1: Shark: This was an early suggestion, but the clearly bony nature of the remains ruled out cartilaginous creatures like sharks or chimeras.
• Hypothesis 2: Conger Eel or Giant Moray Eel: An expert in marine biology suggested this possibility, but with reservations, as neither species typically reaches such a large size, although conger eels up to three meters have been described.
• Hypothesis 3: Terrestrial Animals: Some readers suggested a reptile, like an iguana, or even a bovine, with one veterinarian asserting it was a 600-900 kg quadruped, similar to bovines, based on its bone structure.
• Hypothesis 4: Cryptozoolological Option: This was initially dismissed, as there was no immediate indication of an unidentified sea monster.
• Hypothesis 5: Tuna: This became the prevailing theory, with most consulted experts, including biologist Gustavo Sánchez, agreeing that the remains belonged to a bony fish, specifically a tuna. Sánchez suggested it might be a large-eyed tuna (Thunnus obesus) without a lower jaw, possibly discarded after being caught and processed.

Several collaborators, including biologist Jorge Hernández Carbonell and Rafael Lozano, supported the tuna hypothesis, citing the structure of the dorsal spine, articulations, and skull.

The article also touches upon other unusual marine finds in Spain, such as a supposed plesiosaur in Cádiz and an unidentified creature in Villarico, Almería, highlighting the tendency for such discoveries to be met with administrative disinterest, hindering scientific study.

Article: The Mysterious Being from the Seabed

This section, referencing an article from "El misterioso ser del fondo marino," discusses the Alicante find further. Experts from the Institute of Coastal Ecology considered it a tuna, while the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid suggested a strange shark species. A marine biologist from Alicante proposed a conger or moray eel, but noted the size discrepancy. Veteran fishermen also leaned towards an exceptional conger or bluefin tuna. The article mentions a similar case in Torrevieja in 2015, where remains were identified as a bluefin tuna. The discovery in Alicante was made by Javier Martínez, the Councilor of Environment of Sax, who collected and reconstructed the skeleton, seeking expert opinions.

Article: The Hidden Connections of Swedenborg

This extensive article, authored by Felix Ruíz Herrera, explores the life and influence of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish mystic, scientist, and philosopher. It highlights his profound impact on thought, even influencing writers like Jorge Luís Borges. Swedenborg's journey into esotericism is described as stemming from a revelation from Christ, who appeared to him in London, tasking him with revealing religious secrets.

The article also introduces Count Nikolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf, a German nobleman who founded the Moravian community. Zinzendorf's spiritual renewal movement, emphasizing individual spiritual experience over liturgy, is detailed. A key event in Zinzendorf's life was his mystical experience in the Dusseldorf museum, where he encountered Domenico Feti's "Ecce Homo," leading him to believe in a mystical-carnal union with Christ and a focus on the sexual aspects of divinity.

The article traces the development of these ideas within the Moravian community, their mission to spread their message, and the establishment of settlements like Bethlehem. It also discusses the "Order of the Mustard Seed," founded by Zinzendorf, which promoted a secret mission to unify different faiths and emphasized a radical form of confession and spiritual-sexual exploration.

Swedenborg's interactions with the Moravian community, particularly in London, are examined. While Swedenborg shared some ideas with them, such as the concept of a humanized Christ, he did not fully align with all their practices, finding their moral norms too sectarian and their sexual meditations on Christ's wounds problematic. The article contrasts Swedenborg's views with the later "New Church" movement founded by Robert Hindmarsh, which focused more on hierarchy and rites, displeasing figures like William Blake.

Swedenborg's encounter with Rabbi Samuel Jacob Chayyim Falk in London is also detailed. Falk, a cabalist and alchemist, gathered influential figures around him. Swedenborg's intense experience with Falk, which led him to believe he was the Messiah, is described as a pivotal moment that shaped his later visions and mission to reveal the true content of scriptures.

Article: CROATOAN: The Lost Colony of Roanoke

This article recounts the mystery of the Roanoke colony, the first English settlement in the New World. Established in 1585 by Arthur Barlowe, the colony faced early difficulties and departures. A second attempt in 1587, led by John White, brought 118 colonists, including the birth of Virginia Dare. However, by 1590, when John White returned, the entire colony of 117 people had vanished without a trace. The only clues left were the word "Croatoan" carved on a post and "Cro" on a tree. The article explores various hypotheses for their disappearance, including attacks by native tribes or Spaniards, or a decision to relocate, but none are conclusive. The lack of a Maltese cross, a pre-arranged sign for an attack, further complicates the mystery.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of PHENOMENA revolve around the unexplained and the mysterious. The magazine consistently explores phenomena that challenge conventional understanding, whether it's the identification of unknown marine life, the enduring puzzles of history like the Roanoke colony, or the complex and often controversial world of esotericism and mysticism. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various hypotheses and expert opinions while acknowledging the limitations of current knowledge and the frequent lack of definitive answers. There's a clear interest in phenomena that blur the lines between science, history, and the supernatural, encouraging readers to ponder the unknown.

This issue of PHENOMENA magazine, identified by its cover as issue number 51, delves into several enigmatic topics, primarily focusing on the enduring mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke and the pervasive phenomenon of the 'Men in Black' (MIB).

The Lost Colony of Roanoke

The magazine explores various hypotheses regarding the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony. One theory suggests the colonists integrated with the Lumbee tribe, citing Caucasian features and DNA studies, though results were inconclusive. Another, more supernatural hypothesis, posits that the word 'Croatoan' carved at the site was not a destination but a clue, pointing to the Croatoan tribe as the key to the mystery. The article presents the tribe's version of events: a sudden inexplicable death of wildlife, attributed to a powerful evil spirit associated with a serpent, which led the colonists to murder and cannibalize each other. It is claimed that a newborn child, possessed by this demon, brought the plague.

Historian Lee Miller's hypothesis is presented, suggesting survivors sought refuge with the Chowanoke, who were later attacked by the 'Mandoag' (an Algonquian term for enemy nations), possibly the Tuscarora or Wainoke tribes. The 'Zúñiga Map,' created around 1607 by Jamestown inhabitant Francis Nelson, lends credibility to these theories, depicting four 'Roanoke' men in an Iroquoian village. William Strachey's 1612 account mentions two-story houses with stone walls among the Pecccarecanick and Ochanahoen tribes, who supposedly learned construction from the Roanoke inhabitants.

Recent investigations, including those by Professor Mark Horton, have uncovered European artifacts like pottery and glass fragments on Hatteras Island, 80 km southeast of Roanoke, dating to the period. Similar findings, including animal bones, pottery, and European iron fragments, were found 80 km inland, suggesting a British settlement. The conclusion drawn is that a severe drought and famine led the colonists to split: some moved 80 km south to join the Croatoans, while others built a fort inland, possibly to avoid Spanish attacks. The carving of 'Croatoan' and 'Cro' is interpreted as a message indicating their destination.

The Mysterious Men in Black (MIB)

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the phenomenon of the 'Men in Black' (Hombres de Negro - HDN). The article details an incident on February 4, 1978, in Dique La Florida, San Luis, Argentina, where six witnesses reported an encounter with a UFO and its occupant. The incident, documented by the San Luis Police, involved a being in a shiny silver suit with a transparent helmet. Following this, Men in Black appeared in San Luis, investigating the episode and drawing attention with their unusual behavior. The article notes that these figures are often associated with attempts to suppress UFO research.

Several cases are presented where ufologists and researchers claim to have been visited or contacted by MIB. Luis Anglada Font, author of "La Realidad de los OVNI a través de los Siglos," reportedly received mysterious letters inviting him to abandon his research and later suffered a physical decline leading to his death. Héctor Antonio Picco, a writer, also faced intimidation. The magazine highlights the alleged silencing of ufologists and the disappearance of books on occult knowledge, including works by Estanislao de Guatia and the Papiro Voynich.

Andreas Faber Kaiser, a Catalan ufologist, recounts his life being threatened and his close friend, journalist Alejandro Vignati, dying under mysterious circumstances in Caracas while investigating American experiments. Vignati had previously been warned by five MIB to cease his research.

The article details the case of Cabo Armando Valdés in Chile, who, after encountering three objects and disappearing for 15 minutes, reappeared with a beard, his watch five days ahead, and a message about not revealing who they were. He later reported being visited by 'men in black' who questioned him extensively.

Mysterious Deaths in the Ufological World

The magazine links the MIB phenomenon to a series of unexplained deaths among ufologists and researchers. Cope Shellhorn is cited as noting a high number of mysterious deaths, including shootings, poisonings, suicides, accidents, and strangulations. Specific cases mentioned include Phil Schneider (strangled), Ron Johnson (died during a presentation), Ron Rummel (ruled a suicide), An Livingston (ovarian cancer), and Carla Tunner (breast cancer). The deaths of Danny Casolaro, Mae Bussell, Deek Slayton, and Captain Don Elkin are also noted.

Further cases include the alleged suicide of Colonel Uyrange B.S.N. de Hollanda Lima in Brazil, who was investigating UFO phenomena. The article questions whether these are suicides or new victims of an unknown force.

Disappearances: Explainable?

The issue touches upon the abrupt disappearance of 50 inhabitants of a village in Anjiku, Canada, in 1930, leaving behind their belongings and activities. The author hypothesizes that these individuals, or their descendants, may have been abducted by advanced beings and subjected to mind control, possibly to prepare them for a specific mission. This is linked to the description of MIB as Nordic-looking beings with features similar to Eskimo populations.

Ancient Myths and Extraterrestrial Contact

The final section explores the concept of flight in ancient myths, referencing winged gods and heroes from various cultures like Tiahuanaco, Mesoamerica, Greece, Egypt, and India. It suggests that the human desire to fly might be a recovery of a lost memory, possibly related to ancient extraterrestrial visitors or 'gods' who descended from the stars. Examples include the Nefilim, fallen angels from Orion, Garuda (Vishnu's vehicle), and Manu-Tara (the 'Bird-Man'). The article also mentions the book "Desde Júpiter" by Francisco Miralles, which allegedly records contact with extraterrestrials in the 19th century.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this issue are mystery, unexplained phenomena, and the suppression of information. The magazine strongly implies that the 'Men in Black' are a real, organized force actively working to conceal the truth about UFOs and related incidents, often through intimidation and even death. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for continued investigation and the pursuit of truth, despite the risks involved. The magazine positions itself as a platform for disseminating information that might otherwise be hidden or forgotten, emphasizing the importance of uncovering the 'hidden knowledge' and challenging official narratives.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, identified by its page numbers ranging from 61 to 70 and a publication year of 2019, focuses on a diverse range of topics including ancient mysteries, technological speculation, paranormal phenomena, and the history of flight. The magazine is published in Spanish and is available for free download.

Ancient Civilizations and Advanced Technology

The issue opens with a discussion of ancient reliefs and sculptures from Tiahuanaco (Bolivia), Egypt, and India, depicting winged figures and what are interpreted as advanced flying machines or 'vimanas'. These artifacts are presented as evidence that challenges conventional evolutionary and historical narratives, suggesting a sophisticated, lost technology in the ancient past. The article posits that this ancient past, a 'future past,' evokes a sense of the Eternal Return.

The History and Future of Flight

The theme of flight is explored through various lenses. It references mythological figures like Icarus and Daedalus, and legends of flying carpets. The contributions of pioneers like Leonardo da Vinci, who wrote treatises on flight, are highlighted. The early history of aviation is traced from the Montgolfier brothers' hot air balloon flights in 1783 to the work of later aeronauts and engineers like George Cayley, Otto Lilienthal, and the Wright brothers. The article suggests that the dream of flight extends beyond Earth to the stars.

Francisco Miralles and 'Desde Júpiter'

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the Chilean writer Francisco Miralles and his 1877 novel 'Desde Júpiter' (From Jupiter). Written under the pseudonym 'Saint Paul,' the novel is presented as a pioneering work of science fiction and an early exploration of the concept of PaleoSETI – the search for extraterrestrial intelligence in antiquity. Miralles' work is praised for its visionary ideas about alien visitors influencing ancient civilizations, a concept that resonates with the theories of Erich von Däniken. The article discusses the novel's themes of spiritual progress, cosmic values, and the idea of advanced beings guiding less developed civilizations, contrasting this with the linear evolutionary model.

The Kreischer Mansion: A Case of Paranormal Activity

The magazine features an in-depth report on the Kreischer Mansion in Staten Island, New York, described as a location with significant paranormal activity. Built in 1885 by brick manufacturer Balthasar Kreischer, the Victorian mansion has been the site of numerous reported phenomena. These include disembodied voices, slamming doors, the sounds of children's footsteps, and sightings of spectral figures, including the alleged spirit of Frieda Kreischer. The house has also appeared on television shows like 'Ghost Hunters' and 'Paranormal Lockdown.' The article notes a brutal murder that occurred in the mansion in 2005, suggesting it may have contributed to its haunted reputation.

The issue also includes advertisements and mentions of other related publications and websites. 'Outer Limits Magazine,' a British publication on mysteries and UFOs, is featured. 'Orbita Cero: Mendoza, Argentina,' a blog dedicated to OVNI phenomena, is also promoted. The magazine itself is available for download, with past issues accessible online.

Las Líneas Telúricas y sus lugares mágicos. MI DESCUBRIMIENTO

This extensive article, authored by Marina Torres, explores the concept of 'Ley Lines' or 'Teluric Lines' in Spain, particularly in the region of Jaén. It begins by referencing Alfred Oatkins' 1921 discovery of these straight lines connecting ancient sites in England. The article posits that these lines represent spiritual pathways and that places where they intersect often feature significant elements like hermitages, dolmens, and sacred circles.

The author discusses how these sites were used for rituals and ceremonies by ancient peoples, such as the Druids, to harness natural energy. The article then focuses on Jaén, Spain, detailing several locations along a Teluric Line:

• Cerro Perulera: Described as a site with large, round stone blocks, possibly from a Neolithic cult site.
• Lagarto de la Magdalena: A local legend in Jaén involving a serpent that terrorized people.
• La Catedral de la Virgen de la Asunción: Built on the site of a supposed Dolmen, it is linked to the legend of the Table of Solomon and Jaén's connection to esotericism.
• Sierra Mágina: A region with ancient sites, petroglyphs, and cave paintings, including the 'Abrigo de la Diosa' (Shelter of the Goddess).
• Cerro Veleta: Mentioned as having a Neolithic cult site or quarry.
• Barranco de la Tinaja: Features concentric circle petroglyphs, speculated to represent Plato's description of Atlantis.
• Dolmen: Located near a village, serving as a shelter and protection for the deceased.
• Petroglyphs: Found in the area, including concentric circles and other symbols.

The article also touches upon the possibility that the Marroquíes Bajos area in Jaén might have been the location of the legendary Acropolis of Atlantis, referencing a documentary by James Cameron.

Further exploration includes identification of linear writing signs (Pre-Tartesian) corresponding to A-Ta-L, potentially linked to Atlantis. The article also mentions the Templar Castle of Otiñar as a possible end point for a Teluric Line, which also extends to the Alhambra of Granada.

Visuals include diagrams of Atlantis based on Plato's description, a drawing of a primitive city in Jaén, and photographs of ancient pottery and archaeological sites.
