Articles and Features

¿SON LOS OVNIS HUMANOS DEL FUTURO? (Are UFOs Humans from the Future?) by Diane Tessman
This article proposes a radical theory: that the occupants of UFOs, particularly the 'Tic-Tac' shaped craft observed by the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt pilots, might be future humans who have mastered time travel. The author suggests that these beings, possibly our descendants, are not extraterrestrial but rather time-traveling humans observing or interacting with their past. The article references physicist Michio Kaku, who stated that the burden of proof has shifted to governments to demonstrate that these UAPs are not intelligent extraterrestrial beings. Kaku suggests that the possibility of these craft being from other planetary civilizations must now be considered. Tessman argues that humanity's focus on external alien explanations overlooks the potential for advanced future humans to be the source of these phenomena. She posits that as science and technology advance exponentially, future humans might possess the means for time travel, and their presence could be a way to guide or warn humanity about current planetary issues like climate change and nuclear threats. The article also touches upon the evolutionary trajectory of humans, suggesting future humans might have larger heads and less hair, and that a 'non-interference' directive might prevent them from openly assisting us.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Phenomena Magazine consistently explores the intersection of science, the paranormal, and the unexplained. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, encouraging readers to consider unconventional theories, such as the possibility of future humans as UFO occupants. The magazine promotes scientific rigor in paranormal research, as evidenced by its collaborations with organizations like MUFON and MAPIT. Recurring themes include UFO sightings and analysis, ancient mysteries, esoteric knowledge (Gnosticism), and the exploration of unexplained phenomena, often with a focus on historical or cultural contexts. The magazine also seems to have a strong connection to Latin American researchers and topics, as highlighted by the cover story and the Latin American office's location.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated January 2020, features a prominent article by Professor Roberto Rengifo, presented exclusively to the magazine's readers. The issue also highlights the growing network of Flying Disk Press publications and includes sections on "Cronica Subterranea," "Oniria Misterio," and "Planeta UFO."

The Atlantis Hypothesis and Earth's Geological History

The core of the issue revolves around Professor Roberto Rengifo's study, which posits that the key to understanding Earth's crust formation and axial movements lies in the concept of a submerged continental mass in the Atlantic, referred to as Atlantis. Rengifo suggests this landmass, located northwest of Africa, left behind remnants like the Canary Islands and the Azores, and extended towards the Antilles. Its submersion would explain the similarities observed between ancient cultures and civilizations across continents, implying a lost connection through this land bridge.

Rengifo's theory extends to the origin of humanity, proposing that the Antarctic polar cap was the cradle of early human life. As this cap submerged, survivors migrated to the southern tips of America, Africa, and India. These groups then differentiated as they moved towards the equator, eventually re-fusing. The northern polar cap, conversely, did not submerge or emerged later, becoming habitable and populated by an esquimoide-type race that spread across continents. Meanwhile, the southern tribes were forced to migrate northwards in search of more hospitable territories as the tropical regions cooled and became populated by mammals.

The article details the observed movements of Earth's poles, noting a current precession of 48 seconds per century and variations in the ecliptic's inclination. It discusses how the apparent movement of the ecliptic relative to the equator is often conflated with the real movement of Earth's orbit. Rengifo uses experiments by Joseph Plateau on the rotation of liquids to suggest that the primitive equator and ecliptic were once coincident when Earth was in a liquid or pasty state.

He further analyzes the shapes and distribution of continents, suggesting they reveal harmonies and repeating forms that indicate past geological events. Rengifo proposes that a primitive equator formed a semicircle from 90 degrees west longitude (intersecting the Tropic of Capricorn) to 90 degrees east longitude (intersecting the Tropic of Cancer), with another semicircle through Indochina and the Pacific. This line, tangent to both tropics, is seen as a primitive crystallization line.

The text describes how the Earth's crust, even with its relatively small surface variations compared to its total size, shows patterns that can indicate its past. A maximum circle encompassing the Pacific and Antarctic oceans, with minimal landmass except for islands, contrasts with a hemisphere filled with continents. A diagonal line drawn on a Mercator projection from the furthest point in the South Pacific to the center of Asia is suggested as the axis of forces that emptied one hemisphere and piled up landmasses in the other, forming mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

Specific geological features are highlighted, such as the deep Pacific abyss near Japan (9000m) and the depression of the Dead Sea (400m below sea level). Rengifo also points to the distinct shapes of Arabia and Syria compared to the triangular forms of surrounding continents, suggesting these reflect an earlier period of crustal crystallization.

Linguistic, Graphic, and Architectural Similarities

Rengifo asserts that the existence of Atlantis would explain numerous ethnic, linguistic, graphic, and architectural phenomena that are otherwise insoluble without assuming ancient communication between these worlds. The similarity of symbols found in America and Europe is attributed to the presence of this continental mass in a remote age.

Polar Ice Caps and Human Origins

The concept of the Antarctic polar cap as the origin of humanity is further elaborated. The text references Francisco P. Moreno's work, which suggested that the submerged Patagonian-Antarctic region was the nucleus from which zoogenic species, including humans, emerged. Moreno's research indicated that Patagonia represents the remnants of an ancient, submerged continent that served as a dispersal center for organized life forms.

Flying Disk Press Expansion

The issue announces the expansion of Flying Disk Press, welcoming its French subsidiary, Flying Disk France, directed by Jean Librero. This new branch will translate English and Latin American titles into French, broadening the reach of the editorial's content.

Other Content

The issue also features a presentation of "Los Aliados de la Humanidad" by Marshall Vian Summers, a book series concerning extraterrestrial intervention and humanity's emergence into a larger cosmic community.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of ancient mysteries like Atlantis, the origins of humanity, and geological enigmas. The editorial stance appears to favor speculative and alternative theories that challenge conventional scientific and historical narratives, particularly those related to prehistory, ancient civilizations, and potential extraterrestrial influences. The magazine promotes a network of related publications and authors dedicated to these subjects.

This issue of PHENOMENA, dated January 2020, features a cover story titled "EL EFECTO CAPERUCITA Y EL OGRO COMO EJEMPLO PRÁCTICO" (The Little Red Riding Hood Effect and the Ogre as a Practical Example) by Félix Ruíz Herrera. The magazine explores the evolution of fairy tales, the symbolism of mythical creatures, and ancient Mesopotamian architecture.

The "Little Red Riding Hood Effect" and the Ogre

The article by Félix Ruíz Herrera begins by reflecting on the common childhood experience of hearing fairy tales like "Once upon a time..." and how these stories, passed down through generations, have been altered to be less frightening. The "Little Red Riding Hood effect" is described as the process of removing gruesome details from oral traditions to create a softer, more palatable narrative, often ensuring the protagonist's victory. The author notes that the Grimm brothers were among the first to modify the ending of Little Red Riding Hood, removing its darker, potentially sexual connotations as implied by Charles Perrault's moral in his 1697 compilation.

Perrault's original version of Little Red Riding Hood ended with the wolf devouring both the grandmother and the girl, a stark contrast to the sanitized versions known today. The article posits that this sanitization is a mistake, as these tales often serve as initiatory trials. The ogre, a common antagonist, is presented as a symbolic representation of death or a monstrous barrier that must be overcome to achieve a new level of maturity. The original, cruder aspects of these stories, including the ogre's tendency to eat people, were criticized and debated for prohibition, a stance the author deems an "error."

The concept of "politically correct" storytelling is also discussed, where modern adaptations of fairy tales are further altered to align with contemporary social sensitivities. An example is given of a dialogue where Little Red Riding Hood responds to the wolf's warning about the woods with a feminist and existentialist critique, highlighting the extreme departure from traditional narratives.

The Ogre and its Archetypal Role

The article then delves into the archetype of the ogre, defining it globally as a giant, anthropophagous being capable of smelling living humans. The ogre is associated with the "Kingdom of Death" and personifies it. Historically, the ogre was used as a "bogeyman" to scare children, often referred to by euphemisms for death like "the white one," "the bald one," or "the toothless one." These personifications were said to snatch children, sometimes with freezing hands.

Many childhood fears are rooted in adult fears, particularly the fear of death. The ogre, as a symbol of death, aligns with rites of initiation involving death and rebirth. Victims of ogres are often depicted as being swallowed, symbolizing transformation, and emerging transfigured. This contrasts sharply with the infantilized versions promoted by the "Little Red Riding Hood effect."

Ancient cultures, particularly primitive ones, believed that spilling blood, including human sacrifices (especially of children, as seen with the Punic god Baal Hammon in Carthage), aided fertility and the reproduction of the plant world. These practices were linked to shamanic initiation rites where the candidate might be dismembered and consumed, symbolizing a death and magical rebirth. The act of being swallowed and regurgitated by a monster represents a death and resurrection, forcing the child to shed harmful attitudes and behaviors to be reborn as a more docile individual.

The identification of the ogre with death and hell is traced through medieval iconography, where hell is often depicted as a monstrous mouth. The Roman concept of "hades," "orco," "tártaro," or "averno" all refer to the underworld or the realm of the dead. The Roman god Orcus, a giant with a fierce demeanor, is described as a devourer. The Latin word "ogro" is thought to derive from "orcus." The devil's role in simplistic terms is to guide souls to eternal damnation and consume them in great cauldrons, a theme seen in various medieval and religious art.

The article notes that descriptions of demons and ogres often emphasize their eyes and gaze, which have symbolic connections. Many ogres are depicted with a single eye or a paralyzing, deadly stare, reminiscent of the Gorgons or the Catoblepas. The author suggests that the ogre originated as a personification of death and later evolved into a liturgical figure representing a destructive demon in initiation rites. Over time, many ogres became figures in carnivalesque celebrations or processions, where they could be mocked to alleviate fears.

The Tower of Babel and the Etemenanqui

The magazine also features an article by Pedro maría Fernández on "EL ETEMENANQUI." This structure, a ziggurat in Babylon dedicated to the god Marduk, is believed by many archaeologists to be the authentic Tower of Babel mentioned in the Bible. The Etemenanqui, meaning "house where heaven and earth meet," was originally seven stories high.

According to Genesis, the descendants of Noah built a city and a tower in the Middle East to reach the heavens, prompting Yahveh to confuse their languages. While the exact origin of the Etemenanqui is unknown, its antiquity is estimated to be between three and four millennia, possibly predating Hammurabi's reign (c. 1792-1750 BC).

Herodotus described the temple as square with eight levels, while a cuneiform tablet from Uruk (229 BC) specifies a height of 91 meters and a base of 91 meters. Excavations by Robert Koldewey starting in 1913 confirmed its adobe structure and revealed long staircases and processional paths. The Etemenanqui was built on a large, decorated trapezoidal plaza.

Despite the identification of the Etemenanqui with the Tower of Babel, no definitive hypothesis exists. Many Mesopotamian ziggurats were considered candidates, but archaeological research has increasingly pointed to the Etemenanqui in Babylon. The structure was a ziggurat, a common Mesopotamian architectural form, characterized by stepped levels topped with a temple.

The Etemenanqui was impressive, with a base of nearly 500 meters and decorated with terraplains. It is estimated that 85 million bricks were used in its construction. The structure was adorned with blue enameled bricks to give the impression of merging with the sky.

Decline and Legacy

The Etemenanqui, despite its grandeur, did not survive long. Babylon fell to the Persians in 539 BC, and subsequent rebellions led to further damage. Alexander the Great attempted restoration but abandoned the project. The tower eventually served as a quarry, and its ruins were covered by later constructions, hiding it for centuries.

Other Content

The issue also includes sections on "MISTERIOS del Hombre y del Universo" (Mysteries of Man and the Universe), featuring a blog by Pedro María Fernández, and "DEMONIOS," a blog about UFOs by Carlos Alberto Iurchuk. There is also information about a radio program hosted by Fran Abad and Jose J. Villalón, and a mention of CEFORA (Comisión de Estudios Fenómeno OVNI República Argentina).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the analysis of folklore and mythology, particularly fairy tales and their symbolic meanings, and the exploration of ancient history and archaeology. The magazine appears to adopt a stance that encourages a deeper understanding of these subjects, urging readers to study tradition to prevent its loss and extract important lessons for future generations. There is a clear interest in uncovering the original, often darker, meanings behind popular stories and in investigating historical mysteries like the Tower of Babel. The inclusion of UFO-related content suggests a broader interest in unexplained phenomena and alternative perspectives.

This issue of PHENOMENA magazine, dated January 2020, covers a range of intriguing topics including UFOs, historical conspiracies, and paranormal investigations. The cover prominently features the title "DEMONIOS" and highlights an article on the Roswell incident, suggesting connections to Nazis, Russians, and unconfessable secrets, authored by José Antonio Caravaca. Another significant focus is on "Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique" (QHHT), developed by Dolores Cannon, presented as an advanced healing method with global reach.

Roswell: Nazis, Russians, and Unconfessable Secrets

This article, by José Antonio Caravaca, delves into the controversial aspects of the Roswell incident. It references a document from Tim Cooper's archives, which suggests an explanation for the Roswell crash in July 1947 that is unrelated to UFOs. This document, allegedly from 1947, describes ongoing classified military projects involving re-entry vehicles with radioactive materials and biological warfare agents developed by IG Farben for use against Allied forces in Normandy in 1944. The article posits that when a V-2 warhead impacted near Corona, New Mexico, it did not explode, exposing its lethal cargo. This incident allegedly led the Project of Special Weapons to secure the site, with the press reporting the discovery as a weather balloon. The author questions why Tim Cooper did not publish this specific document, speculating it might have been too controversial. The article further explores the history of IG Farben, a conglomerate of leading German chemical manufacturers including Bayer, Hoechst, and BASF, noting its involvement in forced labor and human experimentation at Auschwitz during World War II. The author suggests that if the information is true, it would cast a negative light on the US government and speculates that Soviet intelligence might be behind the dissemination of such documents to create distrust. The article concludes by suggesting that the Roswell incident might have been a cover-up for secret experiments conducted by special units of the US Army in the New Mexico desert, the public knowledge of which would have caused a major media scandal due to IG Farben's past atrocities.

Esos Misteriosos Objetos Celestes y Sus Tripulantes / La Teoría de la Distorsión

This section, also by José Antonio Caravaca, introduces "The Distortion Theory," presented as a new and revolutionary perspective on the UFO phenomenon and close encounters. It is developed by the researcher and writer José Antonio Caravaca.

Actividad Paranormal en el ARA Irigoyen

This investigation, a joint effort by G.I.P. San Pedro and Grupo Dogma Argentina, explores paranormal activity on the ARA Irigoyen, a museum ship of the Argentine Navy that participated in the Malvinas War. The article highlights that this was the first time paranormal phenomena were investigated on an Argentine Navy vessel. The ARA Irigoyen, formerly a tugboat, is now a floating museum managed by the Culture and Tourism Area of the Municipality of San Pedro. The investigation involved seven researchers who spent over 9 hours on the ship, collecting extensive film, photographic, and audio material. The findings confirmed paranormal activity on the vessel. The researchers felt a strong emotional impact due to the ship's history, particularly its role in rescuing survivors after the sinking of the ARA General Belgrano during the Malvinas War. The experience evoked feelings of respect, affection, gratitude, and responsibility. Initial impressions included a mix of anguish and sadness. The investigation involved dividing the ship into four sectors (bow, stern, upper, and lower) and systematically exploring these areas. The article lists several perceived manifestations: doors opening and closing, sounds of running, footsteps, shadows, unidentified noises, disembodied voices, significant temperature changes, dragging sounds, and strange odors. The researchers also observed a minute of silence to honor those who lost their lives in the ship's history.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)

This section promotes the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), developed by an internationally recognized author and hypnotherapist. It is described as one of the most advanced healing techniques in the world, with courses available online and live globally in multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian, with more languages planned. The technique has thousands of practitioners worldwide, and there is a global forum for QHHT professionals. The article also mentions an accredited association of past-life therapists and professional career choices within the technique. A special offer provides a 10% discount with the code QHHTZEG for classes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained phenomena, historical mysteries, and fringe science. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into topics often dismissed by mainstream discourse, presenting controversial theories and investigative findings without necessarily endorsing them as absolute truth, but rather as subjects for further consideration and debate within the ufology and paranormal communities.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated January 2020, presents a diverse range of articles focusing on paranormal investigations, historical accounts, and philosophical reflections. The magazine is published in Spanish and appears to be distributed across Ibero-America.

Investigation on the ARA Comandante General Irigoyen

The magazine details an investigation conducted on the ship ARA Comandante General Irigoyen. The research team, equipped with advanced technology, aimed to minimize disruption to the ship's usual environment. They strategically placed photographic and video cameras, along with wide-spectrum audio recorders, set to activate automatically upon detecting anomalies. This resulted in a substantial volume of material that required thorough analysis.

The investigators reported a pervasive sense of rejection and discomfort throughout the approximately nine-hour investigation. This feeling was particularly strong near the ship's engines. During one instance, after sensors detected presences, attempts to make contact were met with what were interpreted as responses of displeasure, described as 'taps,' indicating a desire not to be disturbed. This event is documented as 'Evidencia (1)' in the final report, accessible through audio and video.

• Specific findings from the investigation include:
• Visual sightings of a figure moving on deck, from the bow towards the side of the ship.
• A second sighting of a figure walking along the opposite side of the ship.
• Perception of voices unrelated to the investigative group, despite no other people being present.
• Unexplained, indescribable noises with no apparent source.
• Unexplained temperature changes exceeding 3°C.

One investigator, who is also a medium, reported perceiving a profound sadness and heard the name of an entity that had decided to return to the ship after its death.

Photographic and Video Evidence

Photographic evidence captured a full-body figure moving across the ship's deck. Video evidence, particularly from a motion-activated camera placed at the bow, recorded an ethereal figure moving erratically near an investigator. The article notes that such phenomena can cause disruptions in recording equipment, manifesting as audio distortions or visual static, which is observed at the beginning of the recorded video.

Conclusion of the Investigation

Despite the unsettling experiences, the investigation was deemed successful and concluded around 5 AM. The team felt satisfied with the work completed. The analysis of the collected material and personal experiences led to the conclusion that the ARA Comandante General Irigoyen exhibits paranormal activity.

History of the ARA Comandante General Irigoyen

The magazine provides a detailed history of the ship. Originally built as the USS Cahuilla (ATF-152) by Charleston Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. in Charleston, South Carolina, it was launched on March 10, 1945. It served in the Pacific during World War II, involved in towing and escorting vessels. After its service, it was transferred to the Argentine Navy in 1961 and renamed ARA Comandante General Irigoyen (A-1), in honor of Don Matías de Irigoyen y de la Quintana. The ship served Argentina in various capacities, including during the Falklands War in 1982, where it rescued the crew of the ARA General Belgrano. It also served as an Antarctic support vessel and for diving training. After over 400,000 nautical miles, it was retired in September 2009 and became the Buque Museo Irigoyen in San Pedro in 2010, being the third ship of the Argentine Navy to serve as a museum.

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of the ship are provided, including its dimensions (length, beam, draft), displacement (1260 tons standard, 1672 tons full load), propulsion (four General Motors diesel-electric engines, one propeller), power output (4 x 3000 HP), and speed (16 knots).

Investigation Equipment

A comprehensive list of the equipment used by the Dogma-Argentina research group is provided, including electromagnetic field meters, ghost meters, wide-spectrum cameras (infrared and ultraviolet), GoPro cameras, infrared cameras with motion sensors, voice recorders, microphones, laptops with paranormal investigation software, and motion sensors with alarms.

The Pierce Mansion: Death, Misfortune, and Ghosts

This article explores the history of the Pierce Mansion, described as a prototype for a haunted house. Built in the late 19th century in Gardner, Massachusetts (known as "Chair City"), by businessman Sylvester Knowlton Pierce, the mansion was a luxurious Victorian-style residence with 10 rooms.

Sylvester Pierce's first wife, Susan, died mysteriously from a bacterial illness shortly after moving in. Pierce then married Ellen, who was 30 years younger, and they had two sons. After Ellen's death, the three sons engaged in disputes over the property. The Great Depression impacted the family business, and the youngest son, Edward Pierce, took over the mansion.

• Under Edward's management, the mansion became a hostel where activities like drinking, gambling, and prostitution became common. The article recounts several alleged deaths and paranormal events:
• A prostitute was reportedly strangled in the "red bedroom" on the second floor.
• A Finnish immigrant named Eino Saari died in a suspected case of spontaneous combustion in the main bedroom in 1963.
• A child is said to have drowned in the basement.

Numerous guests have reported intense paranormal activity, including sightings of ghosts identified as Sylvester Pierce, Susan Pierce, Edward Pierce, a nanny named Mattie Cornwell, and a man named David, who is believed to be the strangler of the prostitute. The ghost of the prostitute is also said to roam the house's hallways.

The Nature of Love

An article by Professor Dr. Antonio Las Heras discusses the concept of love in contemporary times, contrasting it with prevailing individualism and spiritual poverty. Love is presented as a word that romantics believed meant 'that which does not die.' It is described as an intense, intimate, and fraternal sentiment that unites two people, creating a new, harmonious entity where individual essences are preserved and nurtured.

Beyond romantic love, the article posits that love is a sentiment that should extend to all, seeking harmony and good, and illuminating confusion. It is characterized as a uniquely human product, not explainable by instincts or genetic factors. Psychologically, it is suggested that people fall in love with behaviors rather than just individuals.

The article emphasizes that love is a conscious construction built through daily work and responsibility, distinct from impulsive passion. It grants rights but also imposes duties, citing examples of heroic sacrifices made for love, such as individuals giving up their lives for others.

A quote from the Apostle Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians is used to define love's attributes: suffering, kindness, lack of envy or boastfulness, humility, selfless action, absence of irritation or resentment, rejoicing in truth, and enduring all things.

Other Content

The magazine also features a section on the film "Testigo de Otro Mundo" (Witness to Another World), described as a true story of a close encounter, written and directed by Alan Stivelman. Additionally, there are previews and covers of previous Phenomena Magazine issues, highlighting articles on topics such as UFOs, extraterrestrials, haunted locations, and historical mysteries.

• OVNI en forma de logotipo de Batman (15/08/2017, Sławno, Polonia): A witness described an object with a shape resembling the Batman logo, emitting orange-red luminous light, which flew east and then turned sharply north. The object was described as large and flying low.
• Ser en forma de una nube negra (Bojany, Poland): A witness reported observing a black, irregular cloud-like object, approximately one meter in diameter, moving at walking speed through trees about 1-1.5 meters above the ground. The object disappeared quickly. The witness rationalized it as a dense insect swarm but noted the lack of visible insects upon closer inspection.

Agromonte: Hospital de los Espíritus (Part 3)

This is the third and final part of an investigation conducted by Diego Claramonte and Jesús Velázquez at the Agromonte hospital. The article details their experiences, including capturing psychophonies, one of which appears to be a female voice saying "haz" (do/make) or possibly "cuidado" (careful). They also experienced equipment malfunctions, with batteries draining rapidly, and recorded another psychophony described as a metallic voice with a slight French accent asking, "And why do you ask this?". The investigators speculate about the possible identities of the voices and the nature of the phenomena encountered.

The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and documentation of these phenomena, presenting evidence and witness accounts for readers to consider. The magazine also actively promotes books and other media related to these subjects, particularly those published by Flying Disk Press Latinoamérica.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated January 2020 and identified as issue #29, delves into a variety of intriguing topics, ranging from paranormal investigations and alleged UFO encounters to ancient religious texts. The magazine is published by Flying Disk Press and appears to be in Spanish, with a focus on the unexplained and the mysterious.

Paranormal Investigation in an Abandoned Building

The magazine details a paranormal investigation conducted by Diego Claramonte and Jesús Velázquez in an abandoned building, possibly in Spain given the mention of 'buen maño' (a term for people from Zaragoza). The team used voice recorders and a mobile phone with a voice-activated camera to capture phenomena. During their exploration, they encountered several unusual audio recordings. Initially, a phrase that sounded like 'Sal de aquí' (Get out of here) was captured. Later, a sound resembling a drawer closing forcefully was heard. In the area of the calderas (boilers) and the crematorium, further recordings were made, including a voice with a French accent saying 'Id arriba + uooooh' (Go up + uooooh), another voice saying 'Otra vez tu' (You again), and a clear psychophonic voice saying 'chicos' (guys). The most striking recordings from the crematorium included an agonizing scream and a series of knocks. The team also noted a strong, unpleasant odor described as 'smelling of death'. The mobile phone of one of the investigators, Jesús, exhibited unusual behavior, taking photos spontaneously, which was later attributed to its voice-activated camera sensor.

The Gnostic Gospel of Mary Magdalene

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an article by Marina Torres Pestaña on the apocryphal Gnostic Gospel of Mary Magdalene. The article explains that only three fragments of this gospel exist, two in Greek from the 3rd century and one more extensive fragment in Coptic, likely a translation of the original Greek. The Coptic text was found in 1896 and published in 1955, while the Greek fragments were published in 1938 and 1983. The gospel is named after Mary Magdalene due to a mention of a disciple named Mary, whom most specialists identify with the Mary Magdalene from the canonical gospels. The article presents excerpts of Jesus's teachings, including discussions on matter, the world, and sin. Jesus explains that all natures and creatures are interconnected and will dissolve back into their origin. He clarifies that sin is not inherent but arises from practicing the 'works of nature' such as adultery. The text also includes a dialogue where Pedro (Peter) questions Jesus's teachings and his relationship with Mariam (Mary Magdalene). Mariam defends herself and her understanding of Jesus's words. The gospel also describes the soul's journey through various 'powers' or 'potestades' (principalities) such as Ignorance, Concupiscence, and others, before reaching eternal rest. The epilogue features a discussion among the disciples, including Andrés (Andrew), Pedro, and Leví (Levi), regarding the authenticity and nature of Jesus's teachings as revealed through Mariam.

UFOs and Music: Historical Cases

An article by Carlos Alberto Iurchuk, titled '¿"ELLOS" ESCUCHAN MÚSICA?' (Do "THEY" LISTEN TO MUSIC?), explores the question of whether extraterrestrial beings or intelligences behind UFO phenomena listen to music. The author references a YouTube channel 'La Señal' and a discussion that sparked this inquiry. Iurchuk presents four historical cases that suggest a connection between UFOs and music. Two cases are from the late 19th-century 'airship wave' in the United States, and two are from Argentina in the 20th century. The first case, from Fontanelle, Iowa, on April 12, 1897, describes an aircraft appearing with colored lights and emitting music, as if an orchestra were on board. The second case, from Hamilton, Montana, on April 29, 1897, mentions an elongated object on a bridge from which sounds of music and murmuring people could be heard. The article also references Steven Spielberg's 1977 film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', where music served as a primary means of communication between extraterrestrials and humans. Iurchuk invites readers to share any further information they might have on this topic.

Title: PHENOMENA
Issue: #29
Date: Enero de 2020 (January 2020)

This issue of Phenomena Magazine delves into two distinct areas: unexplained aerial phenomena and historical travel narratives. It presents detailed accounts of UFO sightings in Argentina and explores the significant journey of Egeria, an early Christian nun and travel writer.

UFO Sightings in Argentina

The magazine features two specific cases of alleged UFO encounters in Argentina.

Case 3: Apóstoles, Misiones, Argentina (August 23, 1965)

This report details an incident where a cyclist named Casimiro Zuk witnessed a strange, elongated object, described as a disc with a visor, approximately 5 meters in diameter and 2.50 meters in height, descend into a field. A hatch opened, and a person of normal stature emerged, walked a few steps, and then re-entered the craft. The object then departed in a spiral. While stationary, the witness reported hearing soft music emanating from within the craft. The source of this account is attributed to "Historia de los Platos Voladores en la Argentina" by Héctor P. Anganuzzi.

Case 4: Jachal, San Juan, Argentina (1971)

Another experience, reported by an unnamed individual, occurred while driving near Jachal. The witness and his companion stopped to have coffee and heard a strange music and unintelligible voices coming from the east. They then observed a large, white light, and a craft approximately 30 meters in diameter. The witnesses described the object as having windows and something that was rotating. The object tilted and moved towards the northeast with great iridescence, described as "falling upwards" before becoming suspended like a star and slowly moving away. This event was reported in "Diario de Cuyo" in 1991, twenty years after the incident, with the article attributed to Nino Colombo, based on information from Pablo Henríquez and a report from June 13, 2005.

Egeria: The First Spanish-Speaking Travel Chronicler

The issue dedicates significant space to Egeria, a 4th-century nun from Gallaecia, who is recognized as the first Spanish-speaking travel writer. The article, written by Rocío Moreira, explores her life and remarkable journey.

Egeria, the Traveling Nun

Egeria embarked on a journey to the Holy Land in the 4th century, following biblical routes. Little is known about her, but she is described as a cultured woman with knowledge of Greek, literature, and geography, suggesting she may have been an abbess or a superior in a convent. It is believed she originated from Gallaecia and likely came from an influential family that facilitated her travels. In dangerous regions, she was escorted by Roman soldiers. Some hypotheses link her to figures like Theodosius the Great or Priscillian.

While her exact age at the time of her journey is unknown, journalist Carlos Pascual suggests she was likely a middle-aged woman, not young, to have undertaken such a demanding trip, especially with companions. She is noted for mentioning disciples of Saint Peter but omitting Peter himself, and for discussing the celebration of Epiphany but not the Nativity, leading to speculation about what details she might have uncovered that differ from biblical accounts.

The Book that Relates the Journey

In 1884, Italian scholar Gian Francesco Gamurrini discovered the medieval manuscript Codex Aretinus 405 in the library of Santa María de Laicos in Arezzo, Italy. This manuscript contained Egeria's travel diary, known as "Itinerarium ad Loca Sancta," along with letters she wrote to the nuns of her congregation, addressing them as "my venerable ladies and sisters." The manuscript, written in vulgar Latin, meticulously details her journey and observations of local customs. This text is considered the oldest travelogue known from Spain. Initially, Gamurrini attributed the text to Silvia of Aquitania, who was believed to have undertaken a similar journey. However, in 1903, Marius Ferotin published a study in the "Revista de Cuestiones Históricas" attributing the travelogue to Egeria, based on a letter from Saint Valerio that described a nun and her journey in terms consistent with Egeria's account.

The Journey

Egeria's motivation for her journey was a desire to visit the holy sites mentioned in the Bible. Her travels included places like Jericho, Nazareth, Galilee, Jerusalem, and Egypt, as well as biblical sites like Sinai and parts of Roman Mesopotamia. She meticulously documented each location. After four years of travel, she decided to return to Constantinople, where she wrote a letter mentioning a potential visit to the tomb of Saint John of Ephesus if her health permitted. This suggests she may have been ill. In the same letter, she wrote, "remember me in your memory, whether I continue in my body or, finally, have abandoned it." After this point, Egeria's whereabouts are unknown.

Questions remain about Egeria's life and the places she visited. Her texts mention the celebration of Epiphany but not the Nativity, and she refers to disciples of Saint Peter but omits him. This has led to speculation: Did Egeria discover details not present in the Bible? How did her manuscripts end up in Italy? What happened to the missing pages of the manuscript, and what did they contain?
