This issue of Saucer Scoop, dated June 1969, presents a collection of UFO reports and related phenomena, interspersed with articles on other unusual topics. The cover prominently features a warning about "Deadly Spiders Found" in Florida, alongside a graphic of a spider and a depiction of a saucer from the Condon Report.

Deadly Spiders Found in Florida

The lead article on the cover discusses the discovery of deadly brown recluse spiders in North Georgia, which are noted to be more dangerous than black widows because they are indoor creatures. Both sexes of the brown recluse are poisonous, unlike female black widows. The article quotes a warning that seeing one should prompt immediate action, likening it to having a rattlesnake in one's house. The brown recluse is described as being about the size of a half dollar with dark violin-shaped markings on its upper body. While there have been only six reported deaths in the U.S., symptoms can take 2-6 hours to appear and may include discoloration, blistering, and hemorrhage, often followed by ulceration.

Saucer Scoop Snoops

This section compiles various brief reports and anecdotes:

• Arnold, PA: Reports of "invisible footsteps" and "entities," with "Poltergeist" type activity noted in 3 out of 5 UFO reports.
• Barney Hill's dog: Delsey, Barney Hill's dog, is reported dead, and Mrs. Hill is suffering from a wart-like growth.
• Tucker Prison Farm, Arkansas: Guards and inmates report "Haint's" (ghosts) and bloodhounds cowering. Fire-glowing werewolves are seen, and radios go mysteriously dead. An apparition attacked an inmate and an officer.
• Tootling Trumpets: Police discovered the decomposed body of Clarence A. Styer, which had apparently been kept by his wife and daughter for two months. Trumpets were used to ward off evil spirits.
• Witchcraft in Puerto Rico: Witchcraft is reportedly being used to influence employees to vote for union representation at a cigar company.
• Grasshopper-Beings: A witness described a dark figure, possibly a "grass-hopper-like being," that flew and appeared to be about 30 ft. tall with fly-like wings.
• Miami Worms: Little, wiggling red worms were reported dripping from water faucets in Miami.

International ORO Letter Number 2: Dream Intercession

This section features a letter from Andrew Bache, Board Chairman of IRI Associates, discussing a letter received by Scoop from an anonymous individual named "Jim." Jim reported dreaming that something tried to "get" him. He described jumping out of bed, breaking his door's glass, and jumping barefoot onto concrete, sustaining severe cuts to his foot and thumb. He incurred a medical bill of $1,500 and spent six days in the hospital. Bache hypothesizes that Jim may be a "contactee" and describes the experience as "Dream Intercession," possibly a form of "possession." He suggests that the "mental contact" field is neglected by researchers and could benefit from study by psychiatrists and psychologists.

UFO's and Radar: Psychic and Physiologic Effects

This article by Hans Lauritzen discusses a soldier's experience in 1961 at a rocket base in Gundred, Denmark, where he observed a dot on the radar scope that moved erratically and at high speed, resembling a meteor but without an echo. The automatic plotter lost control. The soldier and other soldiers have since experienced psychic and physiological aftereffects, including difficulty walking, anxiety, and inability to concentrate. The article suggests these effects may be due to radiations from UFOs impacting the central nervous system and the ionization of cerebrospinal fluid.

SENTRY UFO Detector

This section is an advertisement for the SENTRY UFO Detector, highlighting testimonials from Richard Dawson of "HOGAN'S HEROES" and UFO writer Kurt Glemser. The detector is described as having a fast reacting time and being guaranteed to respond to approaching magnetic fields. It is available for $10.00 ppd from AERIAL RESEARCH SYSTEMS.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of Saucer Scoop are UFO sightings and unexplained phenomena, presented through a collection of diverse reports from different locations and time periods. The magazine also touches upon other unusual topics, such as deadly spiders and the potential psychological and physiological effects of UFO encounters. The editorial stance appears to be one of presenting information and encouraging readers to report their own sightings, as indicated by the "Scoopnote" comments and the call for readers to send in incidents. The publication aims to inform the public about UFOs, with a stated policy to "separate fact from fantasy."

This issue, titled 'VIBRATIONS, POWER SITES AND QUARTZ CRYSTALS' (Part Two), features articles by Arthur Shuttlewood, George Menon, Brent Raynes, John A. Keel, and Joseph Ule. It explores a range of topics including ancient sites, UFO phenomena, mysterious lights, and theories of global control.

Vibrations, Power Sites and Quartz Crystals by Arthur Shuttlewood

Arthur Shuttlewood discusses over two hundred stones aligned in a North-South direction, possibly named after Arthur, which he suggests might indicate a POWER SYSTEM based on polar magnetism. He posits that these stones, particularly the roofing, lintel, or cap stones, were placed as Rocking Stones to operate a Power System. This knowledge, he believes, is crucial for understanding alien spacecraft manifestations around Stonehenge, Avebury Ring, and the Warminster area. Shuttlewood speculates if 'Arthur' refers to King Arthur and if the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major) is aligned with him. He notes that UFOs seen over Warminster seem to originate from the Northern Sky. His latest book, 'WARNINGS FROM FLYING FRIENDS', suggests that ancient burial barrows, like the Long Barrows near Warminster, form the outline of the Great Bear and were constructed at least 4,000 years ago. The article also touches upon how ancient power sites might have been used by alien crews to recharge magnetic power units. It mentions that scientists have developed timepieces using crystal and quartz principles to regulate dimensions, and that experiments with quartz crystals and electrical fields could lead to revolutionary propulsion methods and harnessable laser-beams.

Theoretical 'Cloud Transports' by George Menon

George Menon presents incidents that might support the hypothesis of Gallatin, Tennessee, being a 'cosmic communications pole'. He recounts the disappearance of David Lang near Gallatin on September 23, 1880. Lang vanished while walking to his pasture, with witnesses including his wife, children, and a Judge Peck. No trace was found, and surveys for caves or sinkholes were negative. Months later, Lang's children heard his voice crying for help near the spot where he disappeared, and a circle of stunted grass was found. Menon analyzes this incident, comparing it to a naval ship disappearance described in Brad Steiger's book. He suggests a 'Universal Cloud' or 'cloud transport' might have whisked Lang away using molecular control. He also notes other disappearances of aircraft between Bermuda and Kingston in 1948, and near Florida in 1945, as well as a Navy blimp disappearance off the California coast in 1942, possibly into 'universal transport clouds'. He links these to 'crinkly-sounding' clouds sighted in Florida in 1969.

Further Incidents of 'Cloud Transports'

Menon continues by discussing the Navy crew abduction theory, suggesting they were either taken by natural means or by an intelligently directed entity. He recounts an incident on July 1, 1955, where a nine-year-old girl and her horse were lifted and transported nearly half a mile during a thunderstorm. Another incident on February 23, 1911, involved a girl being shot into the air about 35 feet and falling to her death, an event that meteorologists and aeronautical experts attributed to a wind of 110 miles per hour, though no such wind was present. Menon contends these phenomena could indicate a 'cloud transport' apparatus that was either faulty or not intended for operational use. He believes UFOs often use cloud cover for concealment and that 'transport clouds' could darken the sky, citing examples like a sand shower in Minnesota in 1889 and a 'darkness' in London in 1763. He concludes by asking readers if 'Cloud Transports' exist or if they are UFOs in disguise.

1909 !!! MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS !!! 1909 by Brent Raynes

Brent Raynes reports on mysterious lights seen over villages east of Worcester, Massachusetts, in December 1909. People from Boston to Northboro gathered to witness these lights, which were described as a strange moving light, possibly a searchlight from a dirigible. Wallace E. Tillingast, a man who claimed to have invented a machine capable of flying between Worcester and New York, remained non-committal about the sightings but stated he had flown from Boston to New York and back, and that his airship could travel at 120 miles per hour. Thousands of people in Worcester observed a mysterious light, believed by some to be from a fire balloon, passing southwest. The light was traced from North Grafton to Natick and then towards Boston. Observers described it as a searchlight. While initially steady, it occasionally flashed and disappeared. An estimated 50,000 people thronged the streets. The light was described as smaller and less brilliant than the previous night. Tillinghast was reportedly in the city all evening. A similar airship sighting was reported in Willimantic, Connecticut, on the same night, with a searchlight played from side to side.

Techniques of Subversion, Confusion and Conquest by John A. Keel

John A. Keel outlines a seven-step plan for the capture and enslavement of an entire planet, drawing parallels to historical psychological warfare tactics used by figures like Genghis Khan and Hitler. He argues that this game is already in progress on a global scale. The steps include:

1. Press Control: Dictators controlling and censoring newspapers, with independent papers being swallowed by chains.
2. Economic Control: Manipulation of currency and gold, leading to devaluation, scarcity, and potential worldwide economic disaster.
3. Communications Control: Breakdown of radio, mail, and telephone systems, citing disruptions to the Washington-Moscow 'hot line' and overloading of general telephone systems.
4. Diversion of Armed Forces: Exemplified by the Vietnam War.
5. Usurpation of Religious Control: The idea that 'God is Dead' and the decline of the Catholic Church.
6. Introduction of Anarchy: Youth revolts, campus unrest, and the 'sexual revolution' accompanied by drug use.
7. Suppression or Assassination of Leaders: Eliminating those who show potential to control the situation.

Keel suggests that this plan has been carefully executed over many years. He posits a final scenario where, after complete global chaos, benevolent space beings might appear, offering salvation and an orderly world, thereby taking over without firing a shot. He questions whether humanity would welcome such beings.

The Force Field in the Sky by Joseph Ule

Joseph Ule reports on an incident that occurred on January 2, 1969, involving Manuel Lopez and Kay Russell. While parked in a stationwagon near a supermarket, they heard a deep, hollow, penetrating sound from above. They then experienced a rain of concentrated, slow-moving, needle-like pieces that hit the car's windshield and roof. They felt a sudden warmth and weightlessness, an uncontrollable force tugging at them, and a sense of complete blankness as their eyes were drawn to a brilliant, silver-hued object in space. They felt as if they were penetrating millions of miles into outer space. A tapering funnel-like stream of light issued from the object, encompassing the car. The force field, ray, and beam then dissipated. They felt a 'Deep Freeze' chill and an inability to let go of each other. Manuel's car refused to start, and the stationwagon showed small pittings on the windshield and roof, attributed to the 'hail'. Manuel's and Kay's hands showed effects from their attempt to unclasp them, with cuts on their thumbs. Kay was described as being in an 'out of this world' state, as if hypnotized by the horror. Lt. Terry Jones of the Sheriff's Department investigated, and Kay recalled seeing four 'Grayish' objects on a nearby dime store roof, two of which were later spotted. Manuel recalled four 'fireplug looking' objects. Joseph Ule visited the area and noted the proximity of feed wires and high-tension lines. He concludes that this occurrence differs radically from other UFO reports and that Kay and Manuel truthfully experienced an 'Out of this world' condition.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena, ancient history, and potential extraterrestrial influence. There's a recurring theme of hidden power systems, whether attributed to ancient earth energies, crystals, or advanced alien technology. The articles present a mix of speculative theories, eyewitness accounts, and historical analysis, often leaning towards the belief in UFOs and their potential impact on human civilization. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging reader participation and presenting information that challenges conventional understanding of reality. The inclusion of John A. Keel's article on subversion suggests a broader concern with control and manipulation, potentially linking UFO phenomena to larger societal or governmental schemes.
