President's Report

Larraine Cilia, President of the UFO & Paranormal Research Society of Australia (UFO-PRSA), opens with a greeting to 'Earthling and Alien Friends'. She reports on the April meeting's presentation by Peter Khoury and Bill Chalker, which focused on a case involving a PCR test for DNA sampling. Bill Chalker's book, 'The Hair of the Alien', is mentioned as available from Amazon Books. A photograph shows the presenters and some UFO-PRSA members: D. Broadie, D. McNamara, L. Cilia, K. Pataky, P. Khoury, and B. Chalker.

The May meeting reportedly delved into the Rendelsham Forest incident, examining later testimony from witnesses. Cilia notes the fascinating aspect of individuals' reports not being readily disclosed over the years and wonders how long it will take for people to feel safe to speak about events that occurred thirty years prior.

Upcoming guest speakers are announced: Flor Amanowicz for July (presenting on Benjamin Solari Parravicini's prophecies), Tony Jinks for August (presenting an inquiry into the observable unexplained), and Debbie Malone for September (a special evening's presentation and interactive event).

Cilia also includes excerpts from a translated letter, presented as a message from an anonymous source. The message urges recipients to 'DECIDE WHETHER WE SHOULD SHOW UP!' and emphasizes the importance of free will, happiness, and the potential for 'big upheavals'. It questions the lack of unanimous explanations for unexplained celestial events from scientists and religious figures, suggesting that anonymous researchers are close to reality. The message highlights that what was once considered ridiculous has become possible, and the future will be surprising.

It identifies the senders as conscious creatures, possibly termed 'extra-terrestrials', who are not gods but equals in a 'Cosmic Brotherhood'. They are humanoid-shaped and their existence is real, though not perceived by most due to their ability to remain invisible. They wish to fill a void in humanity's understanding and have made a collective decision to communicate, but require humanity's decision. They have no human representative on Earth. Their invisibility is explained by advanced science, including structured dematerialisation and materialisation, used by 'extra-terrestrial' creatures in collaboration with some human representatives, with hazardous compromises kept hidden.

UFOs are described as multidimensional manufactured spaceships. Many humans have had contact, some under 'occult powers'. The scarcity of observations is due to the ships' dematerialised state. These observations are individual, designed to touch the soul rather than alter systems. Negative multidimensional beings, involved in power struggles, maintain discretion to keep their existence and seizure unknown.

The message states that discretion is motivated by respect for human free will, allowing humanity to reach technical and spiritual maturity. Humankind's entrance into galactic civilizations is 'greatly expected'. They could appear in daylight but have not done so because too few have genuinely desired it, possibly due to ignorance, indifference, or fear. The message criticizes the tendency to focus on 'objects' rather than 'conscious beings'.

Humanity is described as offspring of traditions, with a goal to unite and accomplish a common project. The current separation is attributed to prioritizing 'shape' over 'essence'. Peace is defined not as the absence of war, but as becoming one's true reality: a Fraternity. Solutions are decreasing, and contact with another race might reflect humanity's true image.

The message concludes that interventions have had little incidence on human decision-making due to psychological mechanisms. Freedom is built through self-awareness and shedding constraints, which are artificially maintained by a centralizing power for profit. The message ends with 'More pages will appear in the next edition and remember, the future is in all our hands!' signed by Larraine Cilia, President.

Vice President's Report

Kellie Pataky, Vice President, opens with a quote from Marcus Aurelius: 'Keep constantly in mind in how many things you yourself have witnessed changes already. The universe is change, life is understanding.'

Pataky announces her presentation for the month's meeting, focusing on a group from Bath who recounted dreams in the 1960s suggesting flashbacks to former lives as members of a 12th-century religious sect from France, the Cathars, who were persecuted by the Inquisition.

She mentions including an article in her 'Past Lives' column from the Afterlife Sciences website about the case studied by Dr Arthur Guirdham, author of 'The Cathars & Reincarnation'.

Pataky also takes the opportunity to re-introduce Darren Broadie, highlighting his value to the Committee and Research team, and his role as a Reconnective Healer. She personally encourages anyone needing 'rebalancing' to contact him.

An advertisement for 'THE RECONNECTION™ RECONNECTIVE HEALING®' is included, listing Darren Broadie as a practitioner with contact details and a website.

Strange Red Objects Orbiting the Moon

This article by Ken Pfeifer from MUFON New Jersey details an observation made on May 5, 2011, in Tuscon, Arizona. Pfeifer, an amateur astronomer, was photographing the moon when he noticed red spots on his camera's display. Initially dismissing them as 'noise', he took further shots. Two specific shots, #51 and #52, taken with a 1-second exposure, revealed two red dots below the moon. Shot #53, taken within the same minute, showed only the moon. Pfeifer believes these are not 'noise' and that intelligent life exists, but may not be visible to humans. The case is under investigation by MUFON Arizona.

Images of the moon with red dots are included as 'Shot 51' and 'Shot 52'. Websites related to UFO photos and MUFON are listed.

Contactee and Experiencer Research Synopsis

Amanda Prosser writes about research into 'Unawakened Contactees and Experiencers'. She poses questions about the nature of such research, how to commence study without manuals, and who is involved. Prosser notes that learning about Intergalactic Visitors and Craft is enormous, and without mainstream schools, individuals must rely on books, magazines, journals, and the internet. She highlights the value of insightful people who have recorded information and mentions self-initiated groups that meet to share information.

Prosser states that the subject area of Exopolitics treats Intergalactic Visitors and Craft as a legitimate science. She feels her purpose is clear and encourages anyone who has had contact or experiences to start reading.

She discusses students disclosing information confirmed by parents, creating an area of interest. Prosser believes world governments are aware of Intergalactic Craft and Visitors moving in Earth's atmosphere, describing it as a 'thriving Intergalactic Freeway'. She asserts that their motives are for humanity's best interests.

Prosser emphasizes the importance of caring for and educating children, who are ready to learn about the entire Universe, not just 'controlled education'. She concludes with 'Much Peace'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the investigation of unexplained phenomena outside mainstream science, encouraging an open-minded approach and the pursuit of truth. There is a strong emphasis on the reality of UFOs and paranormal events, with articles suggesting advanced extraterrestrial intelligence and interaction with humanity. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for disclosure and encouraging individuals to explore these subjects independently. The concept of free will, particularly in the context of humanity's future and potential contact with other civilizations, is a recurring theme, as is the idea that governments may be aware of and concealing information about these phenomena. The magazine also touches upon spiritual and psychological aspects of these experiences, such as past lives and psychic abilities, and promotes healing modalities like Reconnective Healing.

This issue of "Psychic IP Perception" features a collection of articles exploring paranormal phenomena, psychic abilities, and scientific investigations into consciousness. The cover story, "EERIE ENCOUNTERS," highlights an "eerie encounter from London." Other articles include "Past Lives" by Kellie Pataky, "Dom's Corner" discussing Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), and a report on a UFO sighting in Tasmania.

Research Session with Parent and Child

This section details a research session conducted by Amanda Prosser with a three-year-old child and their parent. The session, held on February 22, 2011, in NSW, Australia, proved insightful. The child, upon meeting the researcher for the first time, displayed an immediate warmth and lack of fear, which the parent noted was unusual. The child demonstrated a discerning spirit and intellect, even startling the parent and researcher by seemingly knowing who the researcher was without prior meeting, later identified as a case of mistaken identity. During the session, the child accurately predicted the gender of the unborn sibling, exhibiting a thoughtful demeanor and concentrated expression. The child also showed great excitement and reverence when asked to hold a crystal, handling it with a maturity beyond their age. A memory game was played where the child demonstrated exceptional recall, helping the researcher find a match, suggesting potential precognitive gifts. The author emphasizes the importance of honesty in research, noting that participants respond well to truth.

EERIE ENCOUNTERS: The English Channel – an eerie encounter from London

This article recounts the experience of Christine Silver, a well-balanced woman who, in December 1976, experienced her car stalling twice in the same location in North London. During the second incident, while seeking help from a garage, she felt dizzy and had a peculiar conversation with the owner. The owner mentioned his wife would have been Christine's age if she had lived. Christine then inexplicably said, “I know you and the children miss me, but you are all doing so well. I'm very proud of you.” She left the garage in a daze, finding her car working again. Christine has no memory of the full conversation, suggesting she was a conduit for a message not meant for her. The article implies a connection to the English Channel, though the details are not explicit.

Past Lives

By Kellie Pataky, this article explores past life memories that have been verified. It focuses on the case of Mrs. Smith, an English housewife who suffered from recurring nightmares of being burned at the stake. In 1962, she sought treatment from psychiatrist Dr. Arthur Guirdham. Coincidentally, Dr. Guirdham had been having the same nightmare for over 30 years. After their first meeting, neither experienced the nightmare again. Mrs. Smith provided Dr. Guirdham with names of people from the 13th century and claimed he too had lived then, as Rogiet de Cruisot. Dr. Guirdham, initially skeptical, investigated and found the names and details accurate, relating to the Cathar sect, who believed in reincarnation. He discovered 11 other individuals who shared memories of living together in a Cathar group. Mrs. Smith also produced drawings and songs in langue d'oc, the language of Southern France in the 12th and 13th centuries, and demonstrated extensive knowledge of the Cathars, their persecution by the Inquisition, and their rituals. Professor Nellie, an authority on the period, advised Guirdham to trust his patient's memories over accepted historical views. Guirdham later documented these findings in his book, "The Cathars and Reincarnation," and became a proponent of reincarnation research.

Dom's Corner

This section, written by the magazine's editor, discusses the work of neuroscientist Dr. Henrik Ehrsson from University College London, focusing on Out of Body Experiences (OBEs). Ehrsson's research aims to induce OBEs in controlled conditions to demystify them. He developed experiments using virtual reality (VR) headsets that feed video footage of the participant's own back into their eyes, creating a 3-D perspective of being behind oneself. Multi-sensory information, like being touched simultaneously on the real and virtual chest, triggers the illusion. Participants reported a bizarre, fascinating, and realistic sensation of being seated behind themselves. Ehrsson believes this reveals the basic mechanism of the 'in-body experience' and the sense of self. Another experiment involved a hammer striking a virtual body part, showing that fear responses indicated the sense of self had shifted to the virtual body. The author notes that subjects, when blindfolded, gravitated towards where their virtual body was situated. Olaf Blanke suggests cognitive involvement helps distinguish oneself from objects. Ehrsson attributes OBEs to 'multisensory conflict' rather than paranormal causes, though the author expresses disagreement, noting the difference between experimental and 'real' cases. Ehrsson also suggests potential applications in training, such as surgery, and believes this research could reduce the stigma associated with disembodiment and paranormal activity. The author questions the 'why' behind real OBEs, which occur without VR.

TASMANIA ARTICLE FROM KEN PFEIFER MUFON NEW JERSEY

This article reports on a strange UFO sighting in Tasmania, Australia. On May 30, 2011, Brendon Hill of Mayfield, Riverside, witnessed flashing lights above his home on two consecutive nights. He described the lights as 'unhuman' and 'spooky,' and could not find any man-made explanation. He captured the lights on video. The Bureau of Meteorology and Launceston Air Traffic Control reported no relevant sightings, though the Aurora Australis was mentioned as a possibility, but its description did not match Mr. Hill's observation. The Australian Defence Department declined to comment. Mr. Hill stated he had no reason to believe the lights were man-made. The article includes images of the lights and provides links to related websites.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of consciousness, the nature of reality, and unexplained phenomena, ranging from psychic abilities and past lives to UFO sightings and scientific research into subjective experiences like OBEs. The magazine appears to maintain an open-minded yet investigative stance, presenting both anecdotal accounts and scientific research, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional understanding. The emphasis on honesty in research and the questioning of 'why' in scientific inquiry suggest a critical and thoughtful approach to the subjects covered.

Title: CROP CIRCLE NEWS
Issue Date: 29 April 2011
Publisher: UFO PRSA (Research of Australian Close Encounters)
Country: Australia

This issue of Crop Circle News focuses on recent crop circle activity and UFO sightings, alongside ongoing paranormal and historical research.

Crop Circle at Silbury Hill

The lead article reports on a crop circle formation that appeared in oilseed rape near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire. The formation, measuring approximately 150 feet (50 metres) in diameter, is described as a "pretty pattern" reminiscent of earlier, simpler designs. It features a six-overlapping petal flower containing moon crescents. The article notes that this location has seen crop circles in previous years, specifically in 2009 and 2010. The photographer credited for the images is Olivier Morel.

Bondi Beach UFO Sighting

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a detailed account from two witnesses, Jack and the narrator, of a UFO sighting at Bondi Beach, Sydney, on 20 April 2011. The object was initially observed hovering over the cliff, described as disc-shaped with a half-visible appearance, featuring a bright white flashing light and two solid white lights, plus a solid red light. The object disappeared and reappeared multiple times over approximately 3-5 minute intervals, exhibiting graceful, controlled, and silent movement, described as "dancing in the sky." The witnesses noted the object's ability to disappear into thin air and then re-appear, sometimes in a different location, suggesting it might have been "jumping between dimensions." On the following day, the witnesses found an engraving on a rock near the cliff edge with the words "To The Invisible God" and on an opposite rock, "TUI WILSON KEITANIORA." While acknowledging the potential for these to be unrelated, the witnesses found the precise carving and the partial omission of moss/paint unusual. The narrator expresses a strong conviction that the object was a UFO and seeks further information and opinions.

Historical and Paranormal Investigations

Hero of Waterloo Investigation

The "Factfinder" section details an investigation at the "Hero of Waterloo" hotel at The Rocks, led by internationally renowned psychic medium Derek Acorah. During the investigation, photos were taken, and Acorah reported encountering several spirits. One spirit claimed to be George Clark (Clarke) of Parramatta, described as a large man who enjoyed a drink. Verification of this claim is difficult due to the commonality of the name. In the cellar, Acorah reportedly picked up the presence of two brothers, Denis and Owen Sullivan, who claimed to have come from Ireland with their father, James. The researcher's subsequent investigation uncovered some discrepancies with the arrival dates of Sullivans in the colony, suggesting they might have been present during the hotel's construction phase, though the exact year provided by Acorah (1849) differed from documented arrivals (1839). The fathers' names were omitted from death records, hindering definitive identification.

Camden South Sighting

Another account, submitted as part of a sighting questionnaire, describes an experience from approximately 1971 in Camden South, NSW. The narrator recounts a "dream" of a silver-grey object, taller and longer than a veranda, hovering in front of the Menangle Store. The object had opaque square windows, and animated beings were seen walking around. Notably, the narrator's mother reported having the "same dream," leading the narrator to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life since that day. The date is approximated as 01/01/1971, with the narrator being 10 or 11 years old at the time.
