Editorial

The editorial, written by Editor Darío Fernández, reflects on the global quarantine and how it leads people to look at the sky more, observing more UFOs and phenomena like 'Trumpets of the Apocalypse'. He posits that historically, more UFOs are seen during difficult times, suggesting that extraterrestrials may observe humanity during crises, much like humans study other species. He likens humanity's current situation during the pandemic to being "guinea pigs" for extraterrestrials.

Collaborators and Publisher Information

The magazine acknowledges its collaborators and lists the editorial team for both the Spanish and British editions. It also provides contact information for Phenomena Magazine's central office in Manchester, UK, and its Latin American office in Haedo, Argentina. The magazine is published under a Creative Commons license (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on scientific investigation into inexplicable phenomena, including UFOs, the 'Deep State', and historical mysteries. The editorial stance, as expressed by Darío Fernández, is one of open inquiry into these subjects, with a speculative yet analytical approach, particularly in the context of current global events. The magazine aims to be a recognized source for these topics in the Ibero-American region.

This issue of Phenomena magazine, dated July 2020 (Issue 35), focuses on a variety of unexplained phenomena, including UFO sightings, mysterious disappearances, and paranormal cases. The cover headline highlights "LAS PÁGINAS DE PIOTR: TRES AVISTAMIENTOS EN POLONIA" (Piotr's Pages: Three Sightings in Poland), by Piotr Gadaj.

The Yuba Boys Case

The issue begins with an in-depth look at the perplexing case of the "Yuba Boys," five friends with intellectual disabilities who disappeared in Yuba City, California. The article details the tragic outcome, with four confirmed deaths and one remaining disappearance. It explores the limited information available, the hostile environment, and the passage of over forty years without a resolution. The author notes that while the story has received more attention in English-speaking countries through YouTube and podcasts, it remains relatively unknown in the Spanish-speaking world. The case was previously featured on the program "Ocurrió en la montaña" on "Misterio en Red."

UFO Sightings in Poland

The magazine presents three distinct UFO sightings in Poland, documented by Piotr Gadaj:

OVNI EN MIŁAKOWO

Reported by a witness named Stefan in early December 2018, this sighting involved an object observed around 9 PM in Miłakowo, Varmia and Masuria. The object, described as orange and spherical, was approximately the size of a passenger car and was visible for about 5 minutes. It moved from north to south and emitted no sounds. The witness estimated the object's altitude to be between 200-300 meters, with an elevation of 70-80 degrees, and experienced curiosity.

OVNI SOBRE STARACHOWICE

This account, a Close Encounter of the First Kind (CE1), was reported by a witness named Leszek in Starachowice, Świętokrzyskie province, during the late 1980s. The witness observed a bright orange light, uniform and non-blinding, for approximately 12-15 minutes. The object was seen moving unusually, possibly zig-zagging, at an estimated altitude of 500 meters. The witness described the experience as supernatural due to the object's exceptional flight capabilities.

OVNI SOBRE SZAMOTUŁY

This incident occurred in January 2019, between the 19th and 20th, near Szamotuły. The witness, identified as Przemysław, described seeing a bright orange light, estimated to be twice the size of Mars, moving unusually over the city. The object itself was not clearly visible, only its light. The observation lasted 12-15 minutes, with no sounds reported. The witness estimated the altitude to be 3-4 km and felt curiosity.

The VASP Case (Brazil)

This section, authored by Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, details the "Caso 169 VASP," a significant UFO incident in Brazil that occurred on February 8, 1982. A VASP Boeing 727 (PP-SNG), piloted by Commander Gerson Maciel de Britto, was en route from Fortaleza to São Paulo when a bright light was observed to the left of the aircraft near Petrolina, Pernambuco. The control tower in Recife had no radar contact with any nearby aircraft. The object, described as having a unique, vivid luminosity different from Venus, appeared red and orange at the edges with a blue-white center. It maintained a similar speed to the Boeing and performed ascending and descending movements. The object was observed for approximately 1.55 hours. Passengers, including priests, witnessed the event. The VASP airline conducted its own investigation, which could not disprove the witness accounts. Some religious passengers on board reportedly showed little interest.

Paranormal Helpline in India

An article on page 10 discusses a paranormal helpline in India, initiated by "The Paranormal Company" and promoted by paranormal investigator Jay Alani. The helpline receives 8-10 calls daily, with many callers reporting seeing ghosts or hearing unusual noises, particularly during the COVID-19 quarantine. Jay Alani suggests that these experiences are often psychological, stemming from excessive consumption of horror films and series, leading individuals to create fictional scenarios in their minds.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained phenomena, with a focus on UFO sightings and paranormal investigations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting witness accounts and case details without immediate dismissal, while also acknowledging skeptical viewpoints and psychological explanations where applicable, as seen in the Indian paranormal helpline case. The publication serves as a platform for sharing information on these topics, often promoting related media and research groups.

This issue of PHENOMENA magazine, dated July 2020, issue number 35, is primarily in Spanish and focuses on paranormal investigations and phenomena. The cover prominently features 'EL SANTUARIO DE LAS ALMAS PERDIDAS' (The Sanctuary of Lost Souls), suggesting a deep dive into a specific haunted location.

Paranormal Company and Jay Alani's Work in India

The magazine introduces 'Paranormal Company,' an organization offering free assistance to combat superstitions and promote awareness about the paranormal. Jay Alani, a recognized paranormal investigator from India, is highlighted for his work. He explains that the helpline aims to provide scientific solutions to those encountering unusual incidents or having questions about the paranormal, noting the prevalence of black magic and mesmerism in India and the public's susceptibility due to lack of knowledge.

Statistics from the NCRB reveal that between 2001 and 2014, India recorded 2290 murders, with a majority of victims being women accused of witchcraft. Jharkhand is identified as the state with the highest number of such killings, and in 2016, 27 women in Jharkhand were lynched on witchcraft accusations. Tribal-dominated states like Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana are noted as the most affected.

Jay Alani's extensive work includes investigating over 100 haunted locations and creating a paranormal volunteering program. His book 'Haunted,' co-authored with Neil D'Silva, details his real-life encounters with ghosts and spirits. Alani also hosts the podcast 'Paranormal Reality' and has created a web series titled 'Destinos oscuros.'

Investigation of 'El Santuario de las Almas Perdidas'

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an investigation by the 'Spectral Life' team (Carlos, Jesús, and Diego) into a sanctuary in Spain, referred to as 'El Santuario de las Almas Perdidas.' The sanctuary, dating back to the 18th century, is described as architecturally impressive and located in a remote, natural setting.

The team conducted multiple visits, primarily in April and June 2019, using equipment like the PSB-7 spirit box and audio recorders. During their investigation, they documented several phenomena:

  • Audio Phenomena: They captured various voices and sounds, including a voice responding to the name 'Juan José,' an unintelligible whisper, a voice saying 'empiname esto' (which they interpret as 'stand up straight'), and a clear word 'libertad' (freedom).
  • Visual Phenomena: Photos taken during the investigation revealed orbs of varying sizes and a strange figure or shadow.
  • Environmental Anomalies: The team experienced unexplained equipment malfunctions, including a camera failing and a battery draining rapidly from 100% to 3%. They also noted a sudden drop in temperature and a strange 'expiration' sound.
  • Physical Observations: They observed an ancient well and noted signs of animal remains, possibly from a rabbit.

The investigation involved isolating team members to capture clearer responses. The team explored the church and the adjacent hospice, noting the latter's dilapidated state. They also found a plan of the complex detailing its layout and history.

Other Mentions and Features

  • Orbita Cero: A space dedicated to UFO news and extraterrestrial life, based in Mendoza, Argentina.
  • Café Ufológico de Mendoza: An organization in Mendoza, Argentina, that hosts events related to UFOlogy.
  • Planeta UFO Argentina: A social media group on Facebook, moderated by Guillermo D. Giménez, for exchanging information and opinions on UFOs and unexplained phenomena. It is described as one of the oldest and most prominent UFO exchange lists.
  • Phenomena Magazine Back Issue: An advertisement for a previous issue of Phenomena Magazine featuring 'HOMBRES DE NEGRO' (Men in Black).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the paranormal, unexplained phenomena, and UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of investigation and seeking rational explanations where possible, while also acknowledging and documenting unexplained events. There's a clear interest in debunking superstitions and promoting knowledge, particularly in the context of India's struggles with witchcraft accusations. The investigation into the Spanish sanctuary highlights a methodical approach to paranormal research, using audio and visual recording equipment to capture evidence.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated July 2020 and identified as issue #35, is presented in Spanish and focuses on unexplained phenomena, legends, and UFO investigations. The cover headline highlights "Two Twin Legends with 3,000 KM Distance," featuring the cities of Cracovia (Poland) and Jaén (Spain), suggesting a thematic connection between their folklore.

Twin Legends: Cracovia and Jaén

The article "DOS LEYENDAS GEMELAS CON 3.000 KM DE DISTANCIA" by Marina Torres explores the striking visual similarity between streets in Cracovia and Jaén, and delves into their respective dragon legends. The legend of the Wawel Dragon in Cracovia tells of a beast that terrorized the inhabitants, demanding offerings and eventually defeated by a shoemaker named Skuba, who used a sulfur-filled sheep to make the dragon explode after it drank from the Vistula River. A sculpture commemorates this victory.

In Jaén, Spain, the legend of the Lagarto de la Magdalena dates back to 1628. It describes a giant lizard or dragon emerging from a cave near the Magdalena Fountain, preying on sheep and people. The article presents three possible endings to this legend: one involving a prisoner who used hot coals and gunpowder-filled bread to defeat the creature; another where a shepherd sacrificed a sheep filled with burning tinder; and a third where a knight used a mirror-covered armor to blind the lizard with sunlight before slaying it. A more speculative origin suggests a large crocodile brought back from America by a carpenter, which grew and was eventually released, mistaken for a monster.

UFOs in Poland: The Case of Lost Time and Photographs

Another significant feature, "FOTOS DE OVNI SOBRE POLONIA Y 'TIEMPO PERDIDO'" by Philip Mantle, investigates a case involving alleged UFO photographs taken in Poland in 2013. The article details contact with Robert Bernatowicz, a Polish UFO investigator, who received information from a witness known only as "Bruno." Bruno reported seeing a pinkish UFO object while on a bicycle trip, experiencing a period of lost time, and subsequently taking photographs. He later sent copies of these photos to Bernatowicz.

Mantle notes the difficulty in verifying the case due to the witness's anonymity and the potential for digital manipulation of images. Bernatowicz provided further details, stating the photos were taken in the Wielkopolska region, near Jastrowo, about 300 km from Warsaw. The witness compared the images to those of Edward Meier, finding similarities.

Photographic Analysis by Jason Gleaves

Philip Mantle enlisted the help of UFO analyst Jason Gleaves, who specializes in computer analysis of UFO images and is the author of "FOTOS OVNI - ANÁLISIS INFORMÁTICO DE IMÁGENES OVNI MUNDIALES A TRAVÉS DE LAS DECADAS." Gleaves analyzed five clear, high-quality images. His analysis indicated that the object appeared metallic, had a structured, disk-like shape with a pointed apex and a domed protrusion, and was observed hovering at a low altitude (150-200 feet) within a small radius. He noted the lack of visible suspension systems or shadows on the ground, suggesting the sun was behind the photographer. Gleaves concluded that the object was structured and of unknown origin, deeming it "unidentified."

Despite the positive initial analysis, both Mantle and Bernatowicz express caution, acknowledging the sophistication of modern photo editing software that could be used to create convincing hoaxes. They emphasize the need for further investigation and more information before definitively accepting the case.

Other Content and Editorial Stance

The magazine also features various other articles and sections, including "LA INVESTIGACIÓN CIENTÍFICA DE LO INEXPLICABLE" (The Scientific Investigation of the Unexplained), a section on "Curiosidades Prohibidas" (Forbidden Curiosities) covering mysteries, conspiracies, and paranormal topics, and advertisements for related publications and websites. The magazine's website, social media, and YouTube channel are provided for further engagement.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Phenomena Magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, including UFOs, paranormal phenomena, ancient mysteries, and folklore. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and scientific investigation, tempered with a healthy dose of skepticism regarding photographic evidence and witness testimony, as highlighted in the UFO case analysis. The magazine aims to present intriguing cases and encourage critical thinking among its readers.

This issue of Phenomena magazine, dated July 2020 and identified as issue #35, focuses heavily on the concept of the 'Deep State,' exploring secret societies, conspiracy theories, and UFO sightings. The cover prominently features the title 'CODEX MAGDALA II REVELACION,' a novel by John Wolf, comparing it to 'The Da Vinci Code.' The visual elements include a chalice, a statue of a pope, and the book cover itself, with a website address at the bottom.

The Deep State and Secret Societies

The main article, titled 'PINCELADAS ACERCA DEL DEEP STATE' (Glimpses of the Deep State) and written by Rocío, delves into the clandestine world of powerful individuals and secret meetings. It begins by introducing the Bilderberg Club, an annual gathering of approximately 130 influential figures from around the world, known for its extreme secrecy. The club, named after the hotel where its first meeting took place in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, in 1954, discusses global issues but allows no press access. The article mentions investigators like Cristina Martín and Daniel Estulin, with Estulin quoted as saying the group's ultimate goal is 'absolute control of the entire world... They act as if they were God on Earth.'

Next, the article discusses the secret society Skull and Bones, founded in 1832 at Yale University. Its logo is a skull with crossbones and the number 322. Members are divided into 'skull' and 'bones' classes. The society is known for its secrecy, with notable alumni like George W. Bush and John Kerry refusing to discuss their membership. It is rumored that members dine with silverware that once belonged to Hitler.

The Bohemian Grove, a summer camp for members of the Bohemian Club, is also detailed. This two-week camp, attended by around 2500 people, is heavily guarded and requires a $25,000 fee and a 20-year waiting list, though connections can expedite entry. Women are not admitted, and staff must leave by 7 PM. The article mentions rumors of attendees being naked, drinking alcohol, cross-dressing, and engaging in orgies and rituals. The camp features a large owl statue, which the article links to the Assyrian demon Moloch.

Symbolism and Rituals

The magazine explores the symbolism associated with the Deep State and related groups. The pyramid with an all-seeing eye is a common motif found on the US dollar bill, clothing, and album covers. This symbol is linked to power and the 'deep state' or Illuminati, with the eye representing a deity they worship. Artists and public figures are noted for making symbolic gestures like covering one eye, forming pyramids with their hands, or using the 'cornutto' (devil horns) symbol. The article also points out the serpent-like architecture of the Vatican's audience hall, suggesting a connection to serpent worship.

Further exploration into symbolism includes the Capitol building's layout resembling an owl, and Epstein's island, which reportedly features a temple with two owls and a golden dome, similar to structures in places with a history of Moloch worship.

Leaked Emails and Controversial Art

The issue touches upon leaked emails from Wikileaks during the 2016 US presidential election, which allegedly contained sensitive information about Hillary Clinton and her campaign. Some emails reportedly discussed international politics, attempts to undermine Bernie Sanders, arms sales, and even 'pizzas, hot dogs, handkerchiefs, parties, and sacrifices.' One email from the State Department to Lewis Anselm mentions 'sacrificing a chicken to Moloch in the garden,' again referencing the owl deity. Another email invites John Podesta to a ranch for a 'pizza party,' with coded language that the article suggests has pedophilic connotations.

The article also features the artist Marina Abramovic, known for her contemporary art that includes themes of human sacrifice, satanic rituals, cannibalism, and abortion. Her 'Spirit Cooking' event is mentioned, with leaked photos allegedly showing a naked man painted silver and a bathtub with what appears to be a corpse floating in chocolate. Another event discussed is a 1972 masquerade party hosted by Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, where guests wore bizarre masks and costumes, some with occult symbolism.

UFO Sightings

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to UFO sightings, with Phenomena in Español becoming a 'dissemination organism' for MUFON (Mutual UFO Network). Several reports are detailed:

  • Quilicura, Chile (December 31, 2017): Three lights were observed for over an hour, causing radio interference and dimming car lights before heading towards the Pacific Ocean.
  • Chile (December 2, 2018): An egg-shaped, brilliant, fast, and silent object was filmed. The witness later experienced skin peeling from their fingers.
  • Bogotá Calera, Colombia (April 10, 2019): A photograph captured a disc-shaped object with a dome, showing signs of high speed.
  • Girardot, Colombia (December 5, 2017): A UFO appeared in a photograph taken from the Girardot Cathedral.
  • Cali, Colombia (November 4, 2017): Two objects were photographed near a school, appearing to change direction or rotate.
  • Pasto, Colombia (September 16, 2018): An object photographed near the Galeras volcano was analyzed by UFO experts and deemed not to be a natural phenomenon.

Other Mentions

The magazine also briefly mentions the book 'The Heirs (Los Herederos)' by John Wolf, with positive reviews comparing him to authors like Dan Brown. It also includes a section on 'Pedophile Codes,' presenting a chart that allegedly decodes terms like 'Hotdog,' 'Pizza,' and 'Ice Cream' into sexual acts and exploitation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this issue are the existence and influence of a shadowy 'Deep State,' the prevalence of secret societies, the use of symbolism in elite circles, and the investigation of unexplained phenomena like UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one that encourages critical thinking and personal investigation into these complex and often controversial topics, urging readers to 'open your mind, investigate, and discover things that will surely not leave you indifferent.' The magazine positions itself as a source for exploring these hidden aspects of reality, emphasizing that 'knowledge is power.'

This issue of PHENOMENA magazine, dated July 2020, issue #35, explores a diverse range of topics, from ancient symbolism to modern-day unexplained phenomena. The cover prominently features the article "Huellas de la Historia desconocida: Los antiguos mandalas de Chile" (Footprints of Unknown History: The Ancient Mandalas of Chile).

Articles and Content

Ancient Mandalas and Chilean Culture

The lead article delves into the history and symbolism of mandalas, originating from Sanskrit and representing the "circle" or sacred diagram of totality. It explains their presence in Brahmanic, Hinduist, and Buddhist traditions as representations of the macrocosm and microcosm. The article highlights the presence of similar concepts in pre-Hispanic Chilean cultures, specifically in the "kultrún" (ceremonial drum of the machis or shamans) and "tupus" (ornamental pins). These artifacts are described as having a symbolic design similar to mandalas, reflecting a worldview that encompasses the universe, the earth, and the cardinal points. The article traces potential transoceanic connections, suggesting links between ancient Andean cultures and those of the Himalayas, citing historical accounts and linguistic similarities. It also notes the presence of mandala-like symbols in medieval Christian art and esoteric traditions.

UFO Sighting Report: Bogotá, Colombia

A personal account details a UFO sighting on November 18, 2017, near Bogotá, Colombia. The witness, traveling between Manizales and Bogotá, took photos of the landscape. Upon reviewing the images, an object was observed in the first photo, described as dark and egg-shaped. A second photo, taken shortly after, showed something in the clouds resembling a triangular shape. The witness noted cloud formations that looked like Mickey Mouse ears as a reference point between the two photos, emphasizing the perceived distance and speed of the phenomenon, which seemed impossible to cover in such a short time.
