SCOOP SNOOPS!!!!

This section presents a collection of brief, unusual reports from around the world:

• Harlow, Essex: Live fish, 6" to 1' long, appeared in gardens.
• Armental, Spain: Swarms of 1" brown beetles with 6" antennae invaded the village, mystifying biologists.
• Stonehenge/Power Station: John Williams of Abergavenny suggests that British monuments might be aligned in a single geometrical pattern, comparing Ordnance Survey maps.
• UFO Detectors: These are reported as the biggest mail-order seller in Argentina.
• Sao Paulo, Brazil: Tiago Machado, a fruit vendor, was reportedly misquoted regarding seeing 'little green men' from a flying saucer.
• Falcon Lake, Canada: Steve Michalak saw two UFOs on May 20, 1967, and subsequent tests at the MAYO CLINIC determined his illness was not caused by radioactivity but by a strange chemical substance in his blood.
• Malaysia: Abu Bakar Bin Hazmn, a Member of Parliament, asked the government to appoint a 'National Witch Doctor' to prevent annual floods.
• Antarctica: Two American scientists reported that mountains in Marie Byrd Land periodically spout steam.
• Antarctic Mountains: A New Zealand expedition suggests some mountains are like layered sundaes of ice, ash, and rock.
• South Pole/North Pole: A comparison is made between the South Pole's high ice plateau and the North Pole's ice drifting over water, suggesting it might be a 'homebase' for a 'Mexican creature'.
• '35 Ton Delight': A creature described as 35 tons, 30 ft. long, 18 ft. wide, with armor-plated skin and a 10-foot tusk of porous bone, is believed by scientists to be from the age of dinosaurs, preserved in Arctic ice.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS - PSYWAR V11

This section discusses two main topics:

Evolution in a Test Tube

Dr. Sol Spiegelman of the University of Illinois reported on a method of observing evolution under artificial conditions, which has theoretical value in understanding heredity and suggests a new approach to curing viral diseases. The achievement allows scientists to study molecular evolution outside a cell. The editorial questions if this is truly the 'first time' such studies have been conducted.

UFO Cases and Alien Motives

The records of UFO researchers are filled with cases of humans and animals being taken aboard flying vehicles. The article references the Mr. and Mrs. Barney Hill case, where physical examinations and sperm samples were taken. Another case involves a gentleman given an alien 'playmate'. Possible reasons for these actions by aliens are suggested, including the need to interject new 'blood' into their dying culture or to create an inter-Galactic breeding ground. The article concludes that these actions point to extraterrestrial beings who are physically unlike humans and may be attempting to rectify this.

• FICTION (?) - SCENE: A description of a 'Venusian Scout Craft' where a 'spaceman' empties a vial of sperm into a disposal unit, implying a job done on a 'captive audience' for brainwashing purposes.

UFO CONTROVERSY REKINDLED

• Boulder, Colo.: The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has formed a special committee on UFOs, expressing doubts about current studies and calling for a 'quantitative, scientific' investigation. The committee is chaired by Dr. Joachim R. Kuettner. There was no exchange of information with the Condon Report team. Congressional dissatisfaction with the Condon findings is noted, with Rep. W. F. Ryan calling for public hearings and Rep. Jerry L. Pettis planning a resolution for a new investigation.

PHYSICIST CALLS ON SCIENTISTS TO CHALLENGE UFO REPORT

• Tucson, Arizona: Dr. James E. McDonald, a senior physicist at the University of Arizona, urged scientists to challenge the Condon Report, stating it overlooks about 15-20 percent unexplained cases and gives superficial attention to classic cases.

SUPER RADAR STARTS

• March, 1969: A 13-story-high 'Super Radar' went into operation at Elgin Air Force Base, Florida. Designed to detect and track space objects, it performs the functions of numerous radars simultaneously and is the first electronic sensor specifically for space tracking.

SAUCER HAZARDS ON OUR ROADS NOW! (Editorial)

This editorial discusses the increasing hazards of driving, now including potential encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

• Australia: A young motor mechanic reported being 'dive-bombed' by a UFO on a country road. The policeman who observed the object reportedly maintained a respectful distance.
• Argentina: A motorist reported a collision with a flying saucer outside Buenos Aires. The saucer carried five small 'alien beings' with outsize heads who wrote 'weird inscriptions' on his car. These inscriptions have not been deciphered.

QUILNES, ARGENTINA - July 3, 1968

A woman reported feeling an invisible force, being seized with terror, and finding herself in an enclosed space with two men in metallic clothing. The heat inside was unbearable. The machine, described as round with small red and green windows, moved and then she was smoothly descended.

SALTA, ARGENTINA - July 2, 1968

A boy named Sola saw a bright object above a mountain and a strange, tall BEING emitting luminosity, which spun and rose into the air.

SIERRA CHICA, ARGENTINA - July 2, 1968

A 15-year-old boy was beckoned by two men with short white hair and semi-transparent legs. They offered him a ride in a silvery, elliptical machine. He was given an envelope to dip in water, which remained dry. The message read, "You are going to know the world. F. Saucer." The machine then took off vertically. The landing site showed three holes in a triangle pattern.

THERE'S A UNICORN ON YOUR BEACH !!!

• Tecoluta, Mexico: Marine biologists studied a 35-ton 'sea creature' that washed ashore. It was described as 30 feet long, 18 feet wide, with a 'serpent-like' body, hard armor, and a 10-foot tusk of porous bone. Some scientists believe it's from the age of dinosaurs, preserved in Arctic ice. Fishermen reportedly lopped off its fins and ate them. Initial descriptions suggested a narwhal, but the corpse did not match any known sea creature.

• Sarasota, Fla. - Feb. 5, 1969: Mrs. June Bartholomew reported a greenish object seen by Homer Steward, which fell toward the Gulf of Mexico, growing larger and turning intense green.

• Macon, Mo. - March 6, 1969: Northeast Missouri experienced a flurry of UFOs for three nights. One sighting described a 'reddish ball of light' about 100 feet in diameter, projecting a beam of white light that magnified everything.

AN ALIEN DWARF NEAR CEMETARY?

• Coleraine, Quebec: Children reported seeing a 'flying saucer' and a dwarfish man (about 4 feet tall, shaven head, red and horny skin) overlooking a cemetery. The man vanished into thin air. A roaring sound was heard from an excavation. The 'flying saucer' was described as 30 feet wide, colored blue, white, and red, and left a trail of smoke.

ZOOLOGIST SAYS PREHISTORIC MAN MAY STILL LIVE

• Brussels: Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans suggests that a form of prehistoric man resembling Neanderthal may still exist. He recounts an encounter in Rollingstone, Minn., where a fair-ground exhibitor showed him the body of a six-foot human male covered in hair, preserved in ice. The being appeared to have been shot. Heuvelmans, a 'crypto-zoologist', believes it is a hitherto unknown variety of man, not a hoax.

THE SECRET IS OUT - BUT THERE'S A CREDIBILITY GAP

This article, reprinted from ALTERNATE HORIZONS NEWSLETTER, discusses the growing body of UFO-related experiences and underground literature. It notes that parapsychologists, psychiatrists, and occultists are reaching similar conclusions independently, often isolated from the 'scientific ufologists'.

• Denmark Cult (Fall 1967): A 'cult' received telepathic impressions to build an underground shelter for a prophesied atomic holocaust. Phones went dead for two weeks. Other ESP claimants also received warnings of a disaster scheduled for Christmas Eve 1967, which did not occur. This event is seen as a 'dry run' to test communication channels with 'ultraterrestrial forces'.
• Predictions: Independent groups have been collecting future messages and have accurately predicted events like the deaths of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, election outcomes, and earthquakes.
• UFO 'Contactees': These individuals receive messages directly from 'alien' entities, using phrases like "We are one" and "See you in time." These messages are identical in phrasing and content to those received by trance mediums and Ouija board operators.

"We are one"

This section discusses the 'hippie' movement, noting their adoption of symbols and mystical ideas from ancient cults. They have claimed contactee-like experiences and adopted modes of dress allegedly used by Ufonauts. The article mentions a "UN delegation" of Orientals in Nehru Jackets at a college lecture, who later disappeared.

• Mysterious Signals: For two years, ufologists have noted an upsurge in mysterious signals received on telephones, radios, and TV sets, including strange voices over public address systems in churches.
• California Churches: Congregations have moved out of California after ministers received 'psychic' warnings of an impending earthquake.
• Communication Effort: The issue suggests a massive communication effort is underway, affecting all levels of society. UFO manifestations are seen as a small part of this broader situation, with many messages being unpublished or appearing veiled in 'hippie' newspapers and occult journals. The obsession with extraterrestrial visitants and 'spaceships' has caused people to overlook what is happening under their noses.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents a wide range of unexplained phenomena, from mundane-seeming events like fish falling from the sky to more complex UFO encounters and alleged communications with extraterrestrial or ultraterrestrial entities. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to consider these reports seriously, even when they challenge conventional scientific understanding. There's a recurring theme of questioning official explanations and highlighting the limitations of scientific investigation in these areas. The magazine also seems to draw connections between UFO phenomena, parapsychology, and occult beliefs, suggesting a unified, albeit mysterious, underlying reality.

This issue of SAUCER SCOOP, dated February 1969, explores a variety of topics related to UFOs, paranormal phenomena, and potential extraterrestrial contact. The magazine presents a complex view of these subjects, suggesting underlying connections and a single central force driving these events. It features a mix of personal accounts, research findings, and speculative theories.

The UFO-Contactee Connection

The lead article posits that the UFO 'contactee' phenomenon might be a variation of spiritualism and trance mediumship, suggesting that all paranormal events are manifestations of a single central force. The author notes that communication with these phenomena seems dependent on specific religious and racial characteristics, with common individuals more likely to be contacted than intellectuals. The article draws parallels between UFO hoaxes and psychic hoaxes, emphasizing that the precise source is beyond current human comprehension. It highlights the ancient recognition of an 'invisible' or 'parallel' world, which churches allegedly censored from biblical texts. The author concludes that our world is being 'interpenetrated' by something capable of operating beyond our senses, urging humanity to meet this phenomenon halfway.

Unusual Events and Sightings

Several articles detail strange occurrences:

• The Vanishing Car of Tokyo: On November 19, 1963, a black Toyopet New Crown car driving on a bypass in Tokyo, Japan, inexplicably vanished in a puff of gaseous vapor, leaving no trace. The occupants and the driver were unaware of any unusual circumstances prior to the event.
• The Enigmatic Apollonius: The article revisits the Greek philosopher Apollonius, who claimed experiences with supernatural phenomena and the secret of returning to life after death. His fame spread, but his death was never recorded, and he too vanished without a trace in his later years.
• The Spider with a Human Face: In September 1934, a Chinese man reportedly found a spider with a human face and an abnormally large head in his home in Homan Province, China. The specimen was sent to the Chinese People's Educational Institute.
• The Monkey-Headed Bird: Harold T. Wilkins reported that in 1937, near Hangkow, China, someone thought they captured a bird with the head of a monkey. This creature was described as measuring three feet in height and eight feet in breadth, with furry black feathers and eagle-like bill.
• The Disappearing Automobile: On February 12, 1953, an automobile drove into a storm drain near Willowbrook, Los Angeles, California. Police followed its tire tracks for three miles into the tunnel, where they vanished completely.
• The 16th Century Flying Saucer: A manuscript from LA SPEZIA's public library, dated July 1967, described a 16th-century 'flying saucer' or UFO that changed color from yellow to red and emitted red fireballs.
• The Bubbles Phenomenon: In the summer of 1952, the author witnessed multiple 'bubbles' that moved independently of the breeze, eventually merging into a single object resembling a goldfish bowl before vanishing. This experience led the author to consider if similar phenomena could explain flying saucers.
• Stone Disks of the Ancients: An article by Dickhoff Ph.D. and Sungma Tenzing Lama discusses Soviet archaeologists finding 716 'grooved' stone disks near the Russo-China-Tibet border. These disks are theorized to be from early space cosmonauts. The article also suggests a possible origin from pre-Buddhist monks from Tibet visiting an 'edenic garden spot' in the Carolines, where these stone disks were used as currency.
• Mexican Stone Symbol: A large stone with undecipherable inscriptions, identified as a symbol code for humanoid space probes, fell into the Yaquri Valley, Mexico, in 1910.
• Cosmic Activity and UFOs: A letter from Karl M. Allanday discusses the 1965 cosmic activity peak, which saw an increase in UFO sightings, including the Michigan marsh gas and Exeter light displays, and a sighting by the Chilean Navy at the South Pole.

Emerging Patterns and Contactee Groups

C.T. Adler, in "Emerging Patterns," notes a new trend in UFOlogical matters, suggesting a division in the unknown forces behind these craft into two categories: peace and fear.

• The Fear Group: This group includes the 'men in black' known for ESP abilities and mind control, who threaten and spy on researchers. They are described as riding in dark cars and wearing black clothes, sometimes displaying symbols with a red lightning bolt. This group also includes 'curiosity seekers' who engage in 'weird tests.'
• The Big Brothers (Fear Group): These entities offer peace and healing in exchange for control of farms, towns, or cities. They claim to be from other planets or inside the Earth and warn of destroying civilization if humanity does not comply. They possess the power to control weather and natural disturbances and have admitted to killing people when necessary.
• The Peace Group: These contacts are described as non-material but capable of taking denser forms. They are beautiful, radiate light, and are not hampered by physical barriers. They call themselves 'big Brothers' but do not threaten force if rejected, though they warn of perishing. They preach a principle of love, not physical love, but the love of God and neighbor, and claim to work through those who listen and set aside self-will.

C.T. Adler shares a personal experience of mental contact with a 'Venusian' who instructed him to 'Believe more strongly in God.' This contact was accompanied by a sense of peace and serenity, guiding him toward stronger psychic development.

Light Beam Communicator (LBC)

A special report from OMEGA's Research Section by George Menon introduces the Light Beam Communicator (LBC), a device that can be built for less than $10. It involves connecting a Public Address Amplifier Module to a photovoltaic light-sensitive photocell and a loud speaker. The principle is that the light cell generates a voltage when exposed to light, creating a hum. OMEGA and the SOLAR LIGHT CENTER are researching its applications, including potential extra-terrestrial communications and determining if UFOs emit AC or DC light. The report suggests that if a UFO emits AC light, it implies an AC generator, which is deemed highly improbable for such craft.

Warning of Coastal Danger

A Planetary Tape Communique from SOLAR SPACE-LETTER, dated February 7, 1969, issued a warning from 'Korton,' a representative from Jupiter (called Etonya), based on observations of Earth. The communique strongly advises people in COASTAL AREAS to ENTIRELY REMOVE FROM THOSE AREAS. Specific geographical coordinates and timeframes are given for impending changes, beginning March 25, 1969, and prevailing through April 14, 1969. These changes are expected to cause great disturbance, particularly in Alaska, and potentially in Washington and Oregon areas if the slippage is deep under the ocean floor.

Further Communications and Warnings

Another communication, dated November 1, 1968, from NEWS MEDIA-COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA, warns of impending natural cataclysms and the role of media in informing the public. It states that many ships will be seen flying in formation for a 'very good purpose and reason,' to provide 'certain emergency aid and comfort' to those in need. The communication emphasizes that assistance will be provided to those 'aware' of their presence and works, not necessarily those who claim importance based on experience. It also notes that many people have had factual experiences with 'our people' without realizing it.

The communication also mentions serious changes in frequency-rate and sounds heard from deep within the Earth's mantle, indicating movement that will cause structural changes and potential breaks or fissures.

Scientific Findings on Extraterrestrial Life

Roy Davis of the Roy Davis Scientific Company writes to Joan Whritenour, Editor of SAUCER SCOOP, about progress in U.F.O. science. He highlights discoveries over the past three years indicating that elements necessary for life exist in space. He references archaeological findings in South America depicting flying machines unknown to ancient history, and the discovery of space dust containing ammonia molecules and hydroxyl molecules. Davis concludes that scientific findings now support the possibility of life on millions of outer planets.

A letter from Karl M. Allanday proposes a theory that higher frequencies beyond human hearing, such as radio waves, infrared, X-rays, and gamma rays, might comprise unseen objects or other forms of life, potentially explaining ghosts, souls, and UFOs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of the unexplained with the spiritual, psychic, and potentially extraterrestrial. There's a recurring theme of hidden knowledge, ancient wisdom, and forces operating beyond human perception. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting controversial aspects of the UFO situation and encouraging readers to consider a wide range of possibilities, from ancient myths to modern scientific discoveries and alleged alien communications. The magazine aims to inform its readers about a broad spectrum of phenomena related to the UFO topic, often linking them to broader spiritual or cosmic implications.
