SCOOP SNOOPS!!!

This section compiles various brief reports and anecdotes:

• SCOOP SECRETAGENT #13: Reports on a "Wolf Boy" case from an Indiana County Hospital, describing a creature that was half-animal, half-human, dark-skinned, with sharp features, and the size of a young boy. The creature reportedly ate paper and drank milk, refusing soup.
• Continental Drift Theory: A speculative theory suggests that continental drift is the result of Earth being shaken by God, creating an ice barrier. It posits that a 'lost continent' beyond this barrier is the origin of 'flying saucers' and their occupants, who are described as 'prehistoric cousins'. The article encourages readers to join the Flat Earth Society.
• Mine Disasters and Gas Bubbles: Mentions recent mine disasters in Japan and Mexico, with a quote about 'earth belching gas' and 'geysers' that are 'almost gone'. A geologist noted the natural gas pocket was unknown and there were no ruptured gas lines.
• Lightning Strikes Jet Twice: Reports a British-European Airlines Comet being struck twice by lightning while landing at Naples Airport from Malta.
• Bigfoot Sighting: Perry Adams reportedly found a 'Little Bigfoot' in his garden, with a stone replica of Bigfoot prints found in the Bluff Creek area. The find was donated to Al Hodgson's 'BigFoot' Museum.
• African 'Man-Beast': Mentions Winston K. Morgan's finding of Africa's 'Man-Beast' in the February 1969 issue of MEN magazine.
• Lake Titicaca Survey: An underwater survey of Lake Titicaca by Cmdr. Jacques Cousteau's team found the lake to be no more than 230 meters deep, debunking legends of it being bottomless or containing gold.
• Treasure Hunt Sacrifice: Reports that three men sacrificed a carpenter in Jaipur, India, to a 'Hindu Goddess' in belief it would lead them to hidden treasure. They were frightened away while digging.
• U.S. Government Terminology: A humorous note on U.S. Government terminology, defining a 'COMBAT EMPLACEMENT EVACUATOR' as a shovel and an 'IMPACT ATTENUATION DEVICE' as an oil drum used around highway constructions.

UFO REPORTS DWINDLE IN 1968

This report from Washington states that the number of flying saucer sightings reported to Air Force investigators decreased substantially in 1968. The total for the year was 375, compared to 937 in 1967 and 1,112 in 1966. This was the smallest number of sightings since 1951. The Air Force attributed most sightings to astronomical phenomena, aircraft, or balloons, with only three cases listed as 'UNIDENTIFIED'.

BARNEY HILL DIES

Barney Hill, the postman who claimed he and his wife Betty were abducted by aliens, died in Portsmouth. The couple's experience was documented in the book "THE INTERRUPTED JOURNEY" by John G. Fuller. Barney Hill suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

LIMA, PERU - UFO Network

Carlos Paz Garcia, President of the IPRI, announced plans to set up a detecting network for UFOs in Peru. This network will use special electronic transistors to catch UFO radiations and take photographs. Similar networks are already in use in Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay. Additionally, hundreds of people in Lima witnessed a UFO hovering over the beach for over an hour.

SCRATCH ONE UFO! METEORITE FALL

A meteorite fall occurred at Pueblito de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico, on February 8, 1969. Specimens of the chondrite meteorite were recovered and analyzed for gamma rays from short-lived isotopes.

A VOICE FROM OUTER SPACE ???

An attorney reported hearing a voice from his TV set stating it was from outer space and would return the next evening. His wife initially thought he was imagining it but later witnessed the same phenomenon.

FAMILY FLEES HEAT FROM UFO

A family in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada, reported hearing a high-pitched sound that caused the temperature in their house to rise intensely, forcing them to flee. A neighbor reported seeing an object hovering over the farmhouse, and another farmer saw three disc-shaped objects.

A FLYING TENNIS BALL !

Lene Nielsen from Charlottenlund, Denmark, described seeing a small, white, tennis-ball-sized object drifting slowly in the air. It disappeared quickly, and she reported seeing a 'tongue'-like protrusion from the object. The observation lasted about 7 minutes.

PILOT REPORTS ON UFO SIGHTINGS

Thirty-five 'aerials' connected with UFOs have been sighted in New Zealand. Captain B. L. Cathie, an NAC pilot, stated that these 'metallic artifacts with knobs' were sometimes hovering and were scattered in a specific pattern worldwide.

Edgar Cayce, The Bermuda Triangle, and The Chariot of the Lord

This article by Kenneth Lloyd Larson explores coincidences between Edgar Cayce's predictions and UFO phenomena. Cayce reported seeing an aerial vehicle and a figure from 'The Chariot of the Lord'. The article links Cayce's predictions of Atlantis rising from the ocean with the Bermuda Triangle disappearances and the disappearance of 5 TBM planes. It also draws parallels between Cayce and Joseph Smith, another religious figure who reported visitations from celestial beings, suggesting a religious and historical level to UFO appearances, possibly involving 'angels'. The article also mentions a sighting by Rev. William Gill and 38 witnesses of saucers hovering over a beach near Papua, New Guinea, with occupants waving.

MYSTERIOUS DISTRESS SIGNALS RECEIVED!

On January 10, 1969, signals coinciding with an unidentified blip on radar screens were received in the North Sea. Radio messages placed the aircraft at 30,000 feet, but no known aircraft were reported in the area. Objects were seen crossing the North Sea and appeared to land in North Lincolnshire, but no wreckage was found, and the object remained unidentified.

FROM: THE CENTER OF COSMIC RADIATION, UNIVERSITY OF CHILE

Since October 1967, the 'El Infiernillo' Observatory has observed luminous phenomena, coded 'F.P.E.', appearing as mobile stars with luminous rings. The observatory is located at a height of 4,343 meters in the Andes. A project for a space scanning system camera has been developed, costing $35,000, and funding is being sought.

ARE YOU INTERESTED in strange unexplained phenomenon?

This is an advertisement for "PHENOMENOLOGY" MAGAZINE, a large, illustrated, professionally published magazine covering topics like disappearing people, sunken continents, mysterious sky falls, UFOs, weird monsters, and abominable snowmen.

A ROUGH STUDY OF FEEDING HEADS

IDEAS: CONNECTION BETWEEN FLYING SAUCERS AND THE PHENOMENON LABLED AS GHOSTS.

This article proposes that UFOs are intra-dimensional and intra-spatial manifestations. It suggests that 'holes' in space-time are entrances and exits for UFOs. The author posits that 'ghosts' are not necessarily spirits of the dead but possibly beings emerging from dimensional holes, with the human mind masking the apparition to protect sanity. The article suggests that psychics could help solve the mystery of UFOs by being instructed to see ghosts as they truly are. It also controversially suggests that non-psychic researchers can increase their abilities through the use of drugs like LSD, though the magazine notes it does not advocate drug use.

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

SPECULATION: Consider that the existence of demons is a fact...

This section speculates that 'demons' are not mythical creatures but manifestations from a parallel world, termed 'negative images'. It suggests that awareness, not belief, is key to contacting these forces. The author emphasizes the need for a strong human mind to deal with these occult forces, warning of the danger of losing free will. The subconscious mind is presented as a protective mechanism. The article discusses how changes in personality, quick decisions, and flashes of understanding can indicate a connection. It also touches upon the use of drugs like marijuana or LSD as a shortcut to altered states, but cautions that the user must control their thoughts. The author contends that some experiences under LSD are not hallucinations but are the drug forcefully affecting the eye, revealing previously invisible things. These 'negative beings' are described as tenuous, transparent forms that the mind might mistake for evil due to their alien nature. Signs of contact include a hazy atmosphere and the perception of movement just outside the corner of one's eye, with the room appearing alive with crawling and flying beings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of SAUCER SCOOP include UFO sightings from around the world, speculative theories about the nature and origin of UFOs (including connections to mysticism, religion, and interdimensional travel), and reports of other unexplained phenomena like Bigfoot and meteorites. The editorial stance, as stated in the policy, is to present "BOTH sides of any controversial aspect in the general field of UFOLOGY" and to give "BOTH equal space and opportunity to express their viewpoints," aiming for an informed public.

This issue of 'Flying Saucer' magazine, dated April 1969, focuses on the psychological and scientific aspects of UFO phenomena, with a critical look at the Condon Report and a call for more responsible public relations within the UFO community.

Psychological Effects of Future or Present 'Contactees' by Hans Lauritzen

Hans Lauritzen discusses the psychological impact on individuals who claim to have had contact with UFOs or extraterrestrial beings. He outlines a typical case where a person experiences telepathic messages, sees disc-shaped objects, and loses time (approximately 30 minutes). These individuals often report a profound change in their behavior, dedicating their lives to spreading a message of love, peace, and brotherhood. They feel their bodies and minds have changed, leading to intensified emotions and physical sensations. Lauritzen notes that contactees may experience a psychic breakdown when confronted with contradictory opinions, realizing they lack free will. Post-contact, they can become highly sensitive to electricity and may feel sensations along their spine and neck. He advises investigators to ask contactees about their feelings and experiences, assuring them that thousands have had similar encounters to encourage them to speak freely.

Things That Go Bump in the Night...

This section explores altered states of perception, beginning with faint sounds or whispers that draw attention. It describes how the subconscious can activate defense mechanisms. The article 'When the Mind Awakens' posits that as senses become more aware, vision can change, revealing 'waves' or 'auras' emanating from objects, particularly living things. These waves can evolve into more defined forms. Mild drugs like marijuana can induce these perceptions, while stronger drugs like LSD can reveal a parallel world. The initial hint of color in these waves is pale yellow, progressing to a rainbow effect with a central sphere. This phenomenon requires an active effort from the viewer, though it can become instantaneous with practice. The article suggests that when the mind is engaged in automatic activities, these waves are not manifested. Involuntary experiences occur under the influence of LSD. As proficiency increases, human-like forms may appear at the periphery of vision. Hearing can also become acute. Mental telepathy requires conscious effort, but taste and smell are heightened, sometimes leading to an obsession with specific foods. Two-dimensional items can appear three-dimensional, and understanding people and events becomes easier. A drawback mentioned is impatience with ignorance and an urge to teach others to think. The 'Flying Saucer Question' is presented as solvable, with answers lying 'in this earth and holes in the sky' rather than on Mars or the North Pole.

Popular Science - April 1969 Issue

This section appears to be an advertisement or announcement related to a science magazine. It mentions an advertisement sent to 1.5 million science-minded persons in various countries, aiming to encourage interest in 'U.F.O. science'. It highlights the 'Condon report on UFO's' and asks 'Is It Fact or Phony?'. It also advertises science courses and scientific papers from Albert Roy Davis, including topics like 'Magnetic Ray Pistol', 'Atomic Energy', 'Laser', and 'Anti-Gravity'. A copy of 'Mysteries of Light' is offered. The advertisement promotes the 'Albert Roy Davis UFO Research Organization' and 'Aerial Phenomena' courses, focusing on biomagnetic, radiation, and space research.

The Vanishing Visitors by Sungma Tenzing Lama

Sungma Tenzing Lama recounts an incident from 1912 when he was eight years old. While looking out his window, he felt compelled to turn around and saw two strange creatures, about three and a half feet tall, with human-like features and lightbrown skin. They appeared naked and faded into invisibility when he gazed at them. He wonders if they were extraterrestrials from a flying saucer, though he saw no craft at the time.

'Daddy Longlegs' Spacecraft Discovers Earth 'Broadcasts'!

This news item from April 22, 1969, reports that the spacecraft Radio Astronomy Explorer 38 (launched July 4, 1968) discovered that Earth emits bursts of AM radio signals, which are a mystery to science. Dr. Robert G. Stone of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center stated that the low-frequency signals are similar to those detected from Jupiter. The spacecraft's tubular antennas, 1,500 feet long, were designed to study low-frequency radio signals from space that cannot penetrate Earth's atmosphere. Dr. Stone noted that 'The Earth looks very much like Jupiter to us,' and the spacecraft's information will help scientists understand both planets.

An Open Letter: To the President; Richard M. Nixon and others......

This section features an open letter from George W. Van Tassel, Director of PROCEEDINGS, PO BOX 458, Yucca Valley, California. Van Tassel questions why electro-magnetic and radiesthesia sciences have been ignored or suppressed for 50 years, presenting data to support his claims. He highlights a device that recorded the reactions of the three Apollo 8 astronauts' glands and organs before, during, and after their flight, even when the capsule was on the dark side of the moon and radio transmission was impossible. He mentions a preliminary report, 'Tracking the Astronauts in Apollo 8,' available from Advanced Sciences Research and Developement Corporation. Van Tassel asserts that this device verifies principles related to the 'Integratron' and living bodies, stating that every living body emanates radiations based on its atomic composition, a principle established by Louis Pasteur in 1862.

Comments on the Condon Report

This section critically analyzes the Condon Report, noting its statement that there was 'no evidence to indicate that space ships are coming here from any other solar systems.' The author points out that this statement excludes other planets within our solar system, suggesting a deliberate loophole. The article claims that officials have known about UFO activity on Mars and Venus since the advent of radio telescopes. It recounts several alleged encounters, including a pilot's experience over Washington D.C., a test pilot chasing a saucer, and an Air Force Captain's involvement with a downed saucer near Aztec, New Mexico. The author also mentions a Major who openly admitted seeing a grounded saucer. The article alleges that the Air Force suppressed information starting in 1954 and has wasted taxpayer money on the Condon Report to 'fool the people.' It cites the Madrid, Spain, sighting of a space ship photographed and observed for two hours as an example of ongoing events that the Condon Report may not have adequately addressed. The author questions the cover-up policy and suggests officialdom is either misinformed or intentionally providing wrong information.

Vibrations, Power Sites and Quartz Crystals by Arthur Shuttlewood

Arthur Shuttlewood, a British features editor and journalist, explores the concept of vibrations and their connection to UFO phenomena. He suggests that material things, from buildings to clothing, have specific forms and purposes, which can be transmuted by external forces like sound, light, heat, or alien stimulation. Nature's cycles of reproduction and rebirth are cited as examples of transformation. Shuttlewood proposes a theory linking Stone Age monuments to spacecraft propulsion, particularly for boosting drives during landings. He notes that extraterrestrial airships observed at Cradle Hill, Warminster, rarely touch the ground, instead tilting oddly. The article suggests that these craft may operate on a minor system comparable to a planet's, generating their own electro-magnetic-gravitational fields. Evidence collected over eighteen years indicates that stone mounds and circles might form a gigantic power network when tapped at the correct vibrational pitch. John Williams, a solicitor, has compared over 3,000 pre-historic stone circles and standing stones, believing they are aligned in a geometrical pattern. He discovered that photographs of these stones sometimes showed a distinctive dark blue fogging, which he deduced was caused by ultra-violet light emitted by the stones. He concluded that these stones contain DARK QUARTZ and form a giant POWER NETWORK, though the purpose remains unknown. Shuttlewood notes that while Williams is not a ufologist, his research offers clues to UFO enthusiasts.

The Public Relations Problem by John A. Keel

John A. Keel addresses the need for ufologists to adopt a more professional and dignified approach to presenting the UFO problem to the public, moving away from 'single-minded fanaticism.' He argues that the Air Force and civilian UFO groups have made mistakes in their public relations, contributing to ridicule through 'loud-mouthed accusations and half-baked speculations.' Keel suggests that UFO organizations should use rational names like 'Atmospheric Phenomena Study Group' instead of 'nut group' titles. He advises avoiding terms like 'spaceships' and 'motherships,' opting for neutral phrases like 'object,' 'UFO,' or 'circular craft.' Keel stresses the importance of using statistics to support claims, as skeptics find them harder to argue against than individual cases. He also warns against publicly expressing negative opinions about witnesses and advises against labeling cases as 'hoaxes' without solid proof. He mentions the Glassboro, New Jersey landing of 1964 as an example of an event deliberately engineered to appear as a hoax. Keel emphasizes building a local reputation as a serious investigator to encourage reporting. The article concludes by promoting 'Flying Saucer Digest' magazine and 'Flying Saucer Classics' compilations.
