The Ohio Airship Story

This article by George M. Eberhart details numerous reports of mysterious airships sighted in Ohio during April 1897. The phenomenon began in November 1896 in California and spread eastward, with hundreds of towns reporting sightings by April 1897. Initially dismissed by some newspapers as "snake stories" or products of "Western corn liquor," the sheer volume of reports from states like Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, following Chicago's spectacular sighting on April 9, suggested something more.

The article highlights several specific sightings:

• April 14, 1897: James McKensie of Casstown, Ohio, reported a large, bird-like object with wings and a tail flying southwest, making a noise like geese and distant music. A white object fell from the craft.
• April 15, 1897: Teenagers in Dunkirk, Ohio, saw a star-like light that changed color. Later that night, railroad tower men described an object as large as a wagon bed, with wings and propellers, flying low enough to hear voices.
• Northern Fairfield County, Ohio: Two farmers reported a cigar-shaped craft with large canvas wings, inclined at an angle.
• April 16, 1897: An airship was seen over Sandusky. In Akron, residents observed lights attached to a large, balloon-like object. H. R. Bolander, an amateur astronomer in Marion, described a huge cigar-shaped object with a bright, spreading light.
• April 16, 1897: In Logan, young men and women saw a large dark object moving slowly, with audible voices.
• April 17, 1897: An object near Upper Sandusky, described as forty feet long with huge wings, carried purple, yellow, and green lights and dived toward the earth before disappearing north.
• April 18, 1897: Captain W. E. Rose and his crew on the steamer Barnsdall watched a large white light over Sistersville, West Virginia, for three and a half hours.
• April 19, 1897: In Cutler, Ohio, a huge airship with wings and a searchlight moved rapidly, making gasoline-engine-like noises.
• April 21, 1897: A police officer in Kenton saw a cigar-shaped airship with a red headlight.
• April 22, 1897: A red egg-shaped object crossed the sky in Cincinnati in five minutes, zigzagging wildly.
• April 22, 1897: A red light was seen over Westerville for two hours, appearing as a large, bright red disk.
• April 23, 1897: A cigar-shaped airship with fan-shaped devices was seen over Mahoning county. Zanesville, Fitchville, and Portsmouth also reported sightings.
• April 24, 1897: Howard Warn and his father in Toledo saw a cigar-shaped object.
• April 26, 1897: The Columbus Press reported five egg-shaped airships seen over the city.
• April 27, 1897: Portsmouth citizens saw a cigar-shaped object with brilliant lights.
• April 27-28, 1897: Cleveland residents observed airships, one appearing as a vertical streak of light or a collection of small lights.
• April 29, 1897: A man in Munroe Falls heard his dog barking and saw a swiftly-moving airship.
• April 29, 1897: Police officer John Ringer of Cincinnati observed a string of lights, one large light in front and a row of smaller lights behind.

The article discusses potential explanations, including Professor George Hough's theory that the phenomenon was caused by the star Alpha Orionis seen under unusual conditions. It also touches on the societal hysteria and the possibility of hoaxes, citing an instance where boys sent up a paper balloon to fool people in Marietta.

Secret Inventions?

This section explores the possibility of secret inventors behind the airship sightings. It mentions a Mr. John S. Chamberlain of Shiloh, Ohio, who wrote about an unusual, wealthy inventor living near Savannah, experimenting with an airship kept in a guarded barn. The craft was described as a narrow, oblong, cylindrical vessel with machinery underneath, using sails and propellers. The article notes that even Thomas Edison had misgivings about airships in 1897, considering them "only toys."

Further reports include a lighted cigar-shaped airship over Cincinnati on May 8, a round object with ten red and white lights in Norwalk on May 9, and a "fleecy white bulk" seen in Sandusky on May 11, described as a white bird with long black wings.

The author concludes that these airships were unlike anything technologically possible in 1897, suggesting they were "premonitions or omens of the future." The article draws a parallel between the 1897 airship flap and the 1950s spaceship explanation for UFOs, noting that "Airships and UFOs are basically the same thing."

Mutilations: Who—or What—Really is Killing the Cattle? (Part II)

This article by Curt Sutherly continues the discussion on cattle mutilations, focusing on reports from the West. It details several incidents:

• Third week of April 1897: A "wild man" was reported in Stout, Adams County, Ohio, described as tall, almost naked, and running like a deer. A posse of thirty men hunted the creature.
• May 26: A "gorilla-like" creature about six feet tall, covered in long, curly hair, was seen near Rome, Indiana.
• Late April: Two farmers near Sailor, Indiana, reported a "beast" that walked on its hind feet, appearing man-like but covered in hair, about the height of an average man. It was seen to jump and disappear into the woods.
• First week of May: A "ferocious wild cat" terrorized farms around Kenton, Ohio, howling and running into the woods when approached.
• Same time: A "sinister feline" was reported near Chillicothe, described as about four feet long with a large head and short legs.
• April: Phantom cats were reported at Pine Lake, Michigan.
• Late May: Phantom cats were reported south of Logan, Ohio.
• May 9, 1895: Emanuel Hendrick, Jr., was attacked by a huge cat near Lamartine, Ohio.

The article questions the nature of these "panthers," noting that they do not match known species like bobcats and that their behavior is unusual. It highlights the coincidence of these reports with airship sightings and the lack of conclusive evidence, such as captured animals or patented inventions.

The author suggests that these phenomena—airships, UFOs, and monsters—all share a common characteristic: they "behave in a way that seems 'real,'" yet leave no conclusive evidence. The article posits that these events might originate from different realities and that understanding them could unlock secrets about the universe.

Society Information

The journal also includes information about the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, detailing its membership structure, organization, and important notices. Membership is $10 per year and includes the quarterly journal PURSUIT, an Annual Report, and special publications. The Society emphasizes its apolitical stance and its focus on investigating unexplained phenomena without commenting on social or ethical issues. Contributions are tax-deductible, but the Society does not express corporate views.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the historical investigation of unexplained aerial phenomena (mystery airships) and contemporary reports of unusual animal mutilations. The editorial stance, as indicated by the journal's title and the quote "SCIENCE IS THE PURSUIT OF THE UNEXPLAINED," is one of open inquiry into phenomena that defy conventional scientific explanation, encouraging the exploration of possibilities beyond established knowledge, while maintaining a structured, investigative approach.

This issue of PURSUIT from Winter 1977 features two main articles: "PREHISTORIC MEGALITHIC ENGINEERING" by T. B. Pawlicki, and "MUTILATIONS: WHO—OR WHAT—REALLY IS KILLING THE CATTLE?" by Curt Sutherly. The magazine also includes a section on "SOME CLARIFICATIONS ON THE LEROY, KANSAS CALFNAPPING HOAX" by Jerome Clark, and a "SYMPOSIUM: Comments and Opinions" section.

Prehistoric Megalithic Engineering

T. B. Pawlicki challenges the common belief that ordinary human beings could not have constructed prehistoric megalithic monuments due to their colossal scale. He argues that available methods, though seemingly simple, were highly efficient. For erecting upright posts at Stonehenge, he proposes a counterweighted A-frame system (Figure 1) where a ballast box filled with stones acts as a counterweight to upend the pillar. For raising lintels, a similar technique using an H-frame and a skidway is suggested (Figure 2), emphasizing that the weight of the ballast would draw the stone into position.

Pawlicki posits that the transport of large stones, such as the 30-50 ton monoliths at Stonehenge, was likely achieved via a rudimentary railway system. He explains that the constant dragging of stones would naturally smooth pathways into a comfortable grade, eventually leading to the laying of poles to reduce friction, forming parallel beams that constitute a railway. Draft animals, similar to oxen used in pioneering days, would have been employed for towing.

For the Great Pyramids, Pawlicki suggests that their sloping sides served as a natural ramp. Blocks could be raised using a pole skidway against the sides, with a pulley system at the top deck and a counterweight to draw the stones up. He illustrates this with Figure 4, showing counterweighted pulleys.

He also details the principles of a "megalithic crane" (Figures 5 and 6), a two-dimensional diagram of which is shown. This design utilizes counterbalanced booms and a ballast system to lift and move heavy loads, capable of spanning significant distances. Figure 7 depicts a chain of rotating cranes, suggesting a system for continuous transport of building materials.

Pawlicki addresses the objection that ancient Egyptians lacked wheels, arguing that given the precision and complexity of structures like the Pyramids, it's reasonable to assume they utilized wheels. He notes that the Pyramids' dimensions incorporate proportions of the Earth and Solar System, square the circle, and may have served as an astronomical observatory and a worldwide radio broadcast system.

Mutilations: Who—Or What—Really Is Killing the Cattle?

Curt Sutherly explores the phenomenon of cattle mutilations, tracing its roots and potential causes. The idea of aliens from space being involved is not new, with a notable early case from Kansas in 1897 involving a farmer named Alexander Hamilton who reported an "airship" abducting a cow. However, Jerome Clark later suggests this incident may have been a hoax.

The mutilations gained prominence in the mid-1960s, with specific attention drawn to an incident in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, involving a horse named Snippy. Ranchers across the Midwest reported similar strange cattle deaths, often dismissed as hysteria.

Sutherly connects the mutilation phenomenon to other unexplained events, such as the "Mothman" sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during 1967, and the work of UFOlogist John Keel. Keel's research suggests a pattern of animal mutilations occurring simultaneously with UFO waves, a phenomenon also observed in Europe with "phantom animal killers."

The article notes that mutilations are occurring internationally, with reports from Puerto Rico, the Middle East, and Europe. It mentions specific cases like the "thing of Sheep Hill" in Pennsylvania in 1945 and similar events in 1973. Law enforcement agencies are often baffled, and the complexity of the events suggests something beyond simple animal predation.

Investigator Tom Adams provides an update on the situation, noting that while mutilations have decreased in some areas, they continue in others. He also observes an increase in UFO sightings coinciding with these events. Adams expresses skepticism about devil cult theories, finding them insufficient to explain the entire picture.

Sutherly concludes by suggesting two primary aspects to the mutilation scenario: 1) Government or former government agents using toxins or disease agents, and 2) an unknown entity that has compounded the problem, making it a global issue. He posits the existence of both human and "parahuman" mutilators.

Mystery Aircraft and Cornfields

This section details reports of unusual aerial phenomena, including a 1974 incident in Iowa where two aircraft, a helicopter and an airplane, were observed buzzing a cornfield, with one reportedly firing at the other. The aircraft lacked serial numbers, leading to speculation they might be connected to "Howard's" mutilation squad. The article also recounts a week-long epidemic of phantom airship overflights in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, in the autumn of 1975, with local authorities denying any official aircraft presence. Similar sightings of unidentified helicopters and a globular light were reported in the same area.

Some Clarifications on the LeRoy, Kansas Calfnapping Hoax

Jerome Clark addresses the famous 1897 "calfnapping" incident involving Alexander Hamilton. Through his research, Clark concludes that the case was a fabrication by a local liars' club. He details his correspondence with Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton Linde, granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton, who viewed the story as a "family legend" and acknowledged her grandfather had a "darn good imagination." Clark emphasizes that the incident was likely a harmless practical joke, and the only ones fooled were outsiders.

Symposium: Comments and Opinions

This section includes various brief communications:

• Milton LaSalle requests hair samples for mammal identification.
• Michael Bradley seeks SITU members in the Northwest and British Columbia for an "Ogopogo" lake monster search.
• Another SITU member is interested in data collection regarding stranded cetaceans and King Tutankhamen's "Curse."
• A report announces the death of W. M. 'Gerald' Russell, a friend of Ivan T. Sanderson, known for his participation in expeditions searching for the Yeti and his work as a professional collector.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores unexplained phenomena, particularly focusing on the capabilities of ancient civilizations in engineering and construction, contrasting them with modern scientific understanding. The magazine also delves deeply into the persistent mystery of cattle mutilations, presenting various theories and evidence while maintaining a critical stance, as seen in Jerome Clark's debunking of a historical hoax. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into paranormal and anomalous events, encouraging researchers to examine evidence objectively and avoid being blinded by preconceived theories.

Title: PURSUIT
Issue: Winter 1977
Volume: Vol. 8, No. 4
Cover Headline: CHAOS IN QUIESCENCE

This issue of PURSUIT magazine, dated Winter 1977, features a lead article titled "CHAOS IN QUIESCENCE" by R. Martin Wolf, which delves into the perplexing phenomenon of cattle mutilations. The magazine also includes a separate article by William H. Whamond titled "SEQUEL TO FOUL-FOCI GRIDS or THE DODECATED GLOBE AGAIN."

CHAOS IN QUIESCENCE by R. Martin Wolf

The article begins by detailing the SITU investigation that commenced on August 5, 1976, driven by the accumulation of convincing evidence regarding cattle mutilations. The author recounts their journey to Great Falls, Montana, to investigate the problem firsthand.

The Mutilation Incident

The investigation's focus shifted immediately upon receiving a report of a mutilation. A bull, part Angus and part Charolais, was found dead in a field. A veterinarian was called to perform an in-field autopsy. The vet, initially skeptical and believing mutilations were the work of predators, proceeded with the examination. The bull had one ear cleanly removed and a section over the left eye missing. Notably, there were no tracks around the animal, nor were there any vehicle tire marks in the pasture grass, despite the presence of tracks from local farmers and the investigators.

Autopsy Findings

The autopsy revealed significant blood loss, with the underlying tissue appearing unusually white, indicating little blood remained in the body. Approximately 1/3 of the expected blood volume was missing. The vet noted the presence of some abscesses in the liver but concluded the apparent cause of death was suffocation from stomach fluids, possibly due to force-feeding young calves, an anaesthetic, or a bad fall. Despite the evidence, when questioned about his opinion, the vet maintained his belief in predators, humorously suggesting "a coyote with a scalpel."

The Evidence: A Search for Consistency

The author emphasizes that the described bull mutilation is not unusual and serves as a case study for the phenomenon experienced regularly by sheriffs and deputies in western and mid-western states. The article asserts that cattle mutilations undeniably exist and are not solely the work of predators, though predators may sometimes scavenge from carcasses.

The article questions the consistent official explanation of predator involvement, suggesting a deeper look into the definition of "authority." It posits that genuine local "authorities" with practical experience might be overlooked in favor of bureaucratic pronouncements.

The phenomenon of mutilations is noted to have spread from Minnesota to various other states, including Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana, and has also been reported in other countries. The article highlights the diverse locations and circumstances in which animals have been found mutilated, including being strung up in trees, found in zoos, transported from their original locations, or left near top-secret military installations.

A key consistency noted is the absence of blood at the scene, leading to a calculation of the vast quantity of blood that would be missing if hundreds of cattle were mutilated annually. The article also observes that other cattle tend to avoid the carcasses of mutilated cows, and even mothers may avoid their mutilated calves, and vice versa, suggesting a possible "scent" connected to the victim.

Dogs, surprisingly, show no reaction to the carcasses, even when found near houses. The article also points out that the cause of death is often unrelated to the mutilation itself, with some animals dying of natural causes prior to being mutilated.

Theories/Possibilities

The article explores several theories attempting to explain the mutilations:

I. PREDATORS: The author critiques the "predator theory" as a simplistic explanation used to dismiss the phenomenon. Reasons for its prevalence among "official sources" are suggested:
1. Saves Face: Elected officials and law enforcement agencies are expected to solve problems. Attributing mutilations to natural predators avoids confronting a more complex or criminal activity.
2. Convenience: Lawmen are accustomed to dealing with knowns and may not be equipped to consider Fortean phenomena. The predator theory offers a readily available, albeit insufficient, answer.
3. Dismissal of Inquisitive Individuals: The predator explanation can be used to discourage public investigation into an embarrassing situation.
4. Keeping "Loonies" in Check: It provides a rational explanation that discourages more outlandish theories.
5. Fear: The ultimate reason is the fear of the unknown and the potential loss of a grasp on reality.

II. CULTS/DEVIL-WORSHIPPERS: This theory suggests that some sheriffs, encountering phenomena beyond predator explanations, gravitate towards cult involvement. The article notes that while some cults may be involved in ritualistic acts, investigations into cults in areas with mutilations have generally yielded no connection to the phenomenon itself. The sheer scale and widespread nature of mutilations would likely require a large, organized group, making it difficult to remain undetected.

III. UFOs: The article posits that UFOs are a possible explanation, as both phenomena are currently unexplained. It notes that UFO sightings have been reported in areas where mutilations occur, sometimes closely connected (e.g., a hovering object directing beams of light near a recent mutilation site) and sometimes generally (e.g., a high number of UFO reports coinciding with mutilation periods). The correlation between UFO reports and mutilations in specific counties is highlighted as significant.

IV. THE GOVERNMENT: This theory suggests the government might be involved, possibly through chemical-biological experimentation. The article references instances of accidental animal kills linked to chemical-warfare research, such as the VX nerve gas incident in Utah and mysterious maladies affecting cattle near military facilities like Fort Detrick and Pine Bluff Arsenal. It also mentions reports of unmarked "black" helicopters, which could be military aircraft used for such experiments. An investigator who worked for the U.S. Army Combat Developments Command is cited, suggesting that reported mutilations occur within a 300-mile radius of military installations, a range feasible for helicopter transport. The theory of fast-deteriorating viruses that destroy red corpuscles is also mentioned. An incident involving a brand inspector being "attacked" by a dark green, unmarked helicopter is recounted, along with reports of aviation fuel purchases and military-type helicopters refueling.

Summary and Foregone Conclusions

The article concludes that beyond the predator explanation, three main theories remain: cults, UFOs, and the Military/Govt. It suggests that these phenomena might be viewed as "pseudopods" by more qualified investigatory organs, making the public appear as "bumbling cops." The author asserts that something "definitely strange" is occurring, causing extreme puzzlement for investigators. The inability to cope with the information leads to blaming a "larger group" with similar thinking patterns. The article reviews reactions: sheriffs see cult activity, private investigators see a "Greater-Body" or government actions, and many people believe UFOs are involved due to the strangeness of the events. The author concludes that no single theory or combination of theories can coherently or consistently explain the phenomenon, and that a deeper understanding of the human psyche and the universe might be required.

SEQUEL TO FOUL-FOCI GRIDS or THE DODECATED GLOBE AGAIN by William H. Whamond

This article, presented as Part IV of a series, aims to defend the findings of Ivan T. Sanderson. The author explores potential scientific "correspondences" and indications of unusual phenomena related to the Bermuda Triangle zone.

Geometric Correlations and Shockwaves

The author notes Captain Bruce Cathie's findings linking atomic bomb tests and major earthquakes, with test-sites and "Quakes" occurring approximately 3,600 Nautical Miles apart. This distance, representing 1/6 of a Great Circle, suggests a hexagonal pattern. The article then explores the theory that UFOs "sniff around" the opposite "Pole" of an earthquake, with shockwaves traveling through the Earth. The author draws a sphere and illustrates how a "pulse" (from a nuclear explosion, volcano, or meteorite) at the N-Pole could generate direct and surface shockwaves that collide at a point Q, which is located at the 30° Latitude-line, the location of the Great Pyramid of Cheops.

"Black Helicopters" and UFOs

Accounts of "black helicopters" and UFOs are frequently reported to sheriffs' departments in areas with mutilations. The article notes that while some phenomena fit neatly into the UFO category, others exist in a "neitherworld" between rational and irrational explanations. An incident is described where a sheriff and his deputy chased a "helicopter" on radar for two hours, but neither could see it, and it eventually disappeared. The author suggests that an interdisciplinary study is necessary to find common denominators that could reveal profound insights into the human psyche and the universe.

Variations on a Paraphysical Plane

The article discusses the difficulty in finding clear distinctions between various phenomena, leading to vague intimations of demarcation. It mentions reports of strange, unmarked helicopters that evade identification and records. The author also touches upon "Hairy Creatures" and Bigfoot-like accounts in some mutilation areas.

Conclusion

The author concludes that a comprehensive interdisciplinary study is needed to understand the related phenomena. He warns that, for reasons yet unknown, a government agency might eventually claim responsibility for the mutilations, even if they are not the actual perpetrators.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained phenomena, primarily cattle mutilations and UFO sightings. The magazine adopts an investigative and open-minded stance, exploring various theories from the mundane (predators) to the extraordinary (UFOs, government conspiracy, cults, and paraphysical events). While acknowledging the official explanations, the articles critically examine their limitations and inconsistencies. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging deeper inquiry and interdisciplinary approaches to understand these complex and often unsettling events, suggesting that conventional explanations are insufficient. There is a clear emphasis on presenting evidence, witness accounts, and the challenges faced by investigators in trying to make sense of the unknown.

PURSUIT, Winter 1977, Vol. 8, No. 4, is a magazine published by The Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained. This issue focuses on the intersection of UFO research, theoretical physics, and unexplained phenomena, with a particular emphasis on the work of Capt. Cathie and the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.

Capt. Cathie's Grid Theories

The issue extensively explores the theories of Capt. Cathie, a researcher from New Zealand, who has plotted UFO tracks and sightings onto a "Dodecated Globe" system. Cathie's work suggests that UFOs follow a "numbered grid" system, similar to military mapmaking, which he believes are geometric "Global-Grids." These grids are described as "Rhombic-Dodeca" and "Rhombic-Cubocta" structures, with specific angles and proportions that Cathie believes may relate to atomic structures and the concept of "Free Power."

Cathie's research is presented as a potential explanation for UFO behavior, suggesting they might "tune themselves in" to this "Free Power" by adhering to these grid patterns. The author notes that Cathie's findings are still developing but are presented as startling and significant.

Mathematical and Physical Connections

The article draws parallels between Cathie's grid proportions and fundamental physical constants. For instance, it's noted that a formula for the "Closest packing of Spheres" by Dr. R. B. Fuller, when applied to the 3rd Harmonic, yields 92, which is the number of electrons orbiting the Uranium atom. This suggests a potential geometric basis for atomic structures and a possible link to "Free Power" sources, which the author speculates governments are keeping from the public.

The author also discusses Cathie's use of simplified mathematical systems, such as using 27 "hours" in a day and 100 "Grads" for a circle, which he believes simplifies calculations and aligns with harmonic principles.

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery

The Bermuda Triangle is a central theme, with the article revisiting the mystery of the five missing Avenger torpedo bombers (Flight 19). The author suggests that Capt. Cathie's theories might offer an explanation, proposing that the sun and search-area's angular relationship on that day corresponded to a harmonic of his Grid-System, indicating a localized "warping" or stressing of space.

Further, the article discusses the "communication blanketing" or radio fading reported in the Triangle, linking it to historical instances of "Q-ships" used as decoys in WWI and II. This phenomenon is presented as a crucial clue, suggesting deliberate interference rather than a natural occurrence.

The author also references Jacques Bergier's comments on N. A. Kozyrev's proposal to utilize "time-flow" as an energy source, suggesting that changes in local time could lead to energy release or absorption, potentially relevant to the Bermuda Triangle incidents.

UFOs and Nuclear Explosions

A widespread belief that nuclear explosions have "attracted" UFOs is discussed. The article posits that while nuclear pulses might act as beacons, the essential point is that these events may have made it easier for UFOs to reach Earth, perhaps by creating "soft spots" or "windows" in space that facilitate rapid travel.

"Windows" and Opportunistic Travel

The concept of "windows" is explored, defined as opportune times or frequencies when conditions are "just right" for launches or for signals to go through. This is compared to NASA's "Launch-Windows" and is presented as a parallel to how UFOs might utilize such "windows" to arrive on Earth.

Scientific Advisory Board and Editorial Stance

The issue includes a detailed list of the Governing Board and Scientific Advisory Board of The Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, featuring prominent figures in various scientific and academic fields. This lends an air of legitimacy to the society's research.

The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs, and a critical view of "Establishment" narratives. The author encourages readers to send in clippings about strange weather events, suggesting a broader interest in unusual occurrences.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Recurring themes include the search for underlying geometric and harmonic principles in both natural phenomena (like atomic structures and Earth grids) and unexplained events (like UFO sightings and the Bermuda Triangle). There's a strong undercurrent of skepticism towards official explanations and a belief that governments possess more knowledge about UFOs than they admit. The magazine champions a more "simplistic" approach to understanding complex phenomena, challenging conventional scientific and governmental frameworks. The editorial stance is one of encouraging investigation and questioning established norms, particularly concerning UFOs and potential alternative energy sources.
