Constitution of the Directorate

The directorate for the 1977/1981 period is listed, with Dr. Walter Karl Buhler serving as President, 1st Vice-President, and Treasurer. Dr. Guilherme Pereira is the 2nd Vice-President, also handling the roles of 1st and 2nd Secretary. The Fiscal Council members are Wilson Teixeira and Amanda Alves Pinto, with Otto Erwin Gluck, Almiro Barauna, and Francisco Sa Borges as alternates.

News of the Society

To streamline bureaucratic activities and focus on ufological research and bulletin preparation, the SBEDV statutes have been modified. New member admissions are temporarily suspended. An annual fee, pre-established in the bulletin or circular, will be charged. For 1979, this fee was set at Cr$140.00. The society will be administered by a Directorate with a five-year term, and Directors may hold multiple positions. Members failing to pay will be removed.

Obituary

The bulletin announces the passing of Dr. Mario Prudente Aquino, a collaborator of SBEDV, who died on May 19, 1979, at the age of 66. Dr. Aquino, a dentist by profession and a retired Federal Police employee, was a dedicated researcher in the 1960s, contributing to numerous SBEDV bulletins. His efforts in researching the case of Antônio Villas Boas in 1962 are highlighted. The publication of this case is considered a pivotal moment in modern ufology, bringing attention to flying saucer occupant episodes that were previously kept secret. Dr. Aquino is remembered for his courage, insight, and dedication to the subject, leaving a void in the hearts of many ufologists.

Conversation with the Reader

This section discusses an interview with Colonel Rui Guardiola regarding a sighting of flying saucers over the Campos dos Afonsos air base. It mentions Professor Hynek's commentary on the episode, suggesting he 'de-characterized' it as ufological. The text also touches upon Hynek's past role in 'disinforming' the public about UFOs and his recent shift in approach, possibly influenced by his involvement with the UN and his new role in the UFO Center, which aims to 'educate the public and influence foreign governments.' The section also references the work of the Rand Corporation and its influence on government policy regarding UFOs.

It further explores the idea of a 'new opening' in ufology, suggesting a less confrontational approach. The text contrasts this with past government actions, citing examples like the Vietnam War and Watergate, and the need for open communication. The dangers of misinformation are discussed, particularly concerning atomic tests and potential cover-ups, referencing reports from Time Magazine and other sources.

The section also touches upon the potential for extraterrestrial contact and the need for humanity to respect ecological laws and interpersonal relationships to avoid self-destruction. It critiques the 'force' approach to dealing with UFO phenomena, advocating for the presentation of evidence, such as photographs, to allow the public to make informed decisions.

UFO Abduction Occurred in Saco de São Francisco, Niterói (Rio de Janeiro State)

This section details a specific UFO abduction case. It includes data, the account of the episode, additional clarifications, and commentary. It also features explanations of related figures and minutes from a hypnotic regression session concerning the event.

Conversation with Ufologists

This extended section delves into various aspects of ufology. It discusses the orientation for objective research, the importance of a dispassionate relationship between researchers, and the necessity of work bulletins. It questions whether there is a hidden face to ufology and explores the reasons behind a new 'opening' in the field, including its functioning and the increasing number of 'openings.' The section concludes with references and explanations of figures.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The bulletin consistently promotes ufological research and the open dissemination of information. It appears to advocate for a more transparent approach to UFO phenomena, encouraging public discussion and informed decision-making. There's a critical stance towards government secrecy and misinformation, particularly concerning UFOs and atomic energy. The SBEDV positions itself as a facilitator of research and a platform for sharing findings, while also acknowledging the complexities and potential dangers associated with the subject.

This issue of SBEDV BOL. (Volume 129/131), dated 2004, is titled '5 - CONVERSA COM OS UFÓLOGOS' (5 - Conversation with Ufologists) and focuses on various aspects of ufological research and phenomena. The publication, originating from Brazil, is in Portuguese and aims to provide objective information and analysis.

A - Orientation for Objective and "In loco" Research

This section emphasizes the importance of objective, on-site research in ufology. It highlights the early collaboration between SBEDV and CICOANI, particularly with Professor Hulvio Brant Aleixo, who provided guidance on interviewing witnesses. The article notes that SBEDV benefited from comprehensive reports and visual aids, which may not have been as readily available to other research groups. It suggests that new researchers can learn from the recommendations provided by CICOANI.

B - An Unemotional Relationship Between Researchers

This part discusses the vast difference in perspective between human understanding and potential extraterrestrial civilizations, suggesting that experienced and novice ufologists might have similar levels of comprehension when faced with such advanced beings. It criticizes some ufologists who claim to be the sole authorities on the subject, leading to unnecessary conflicts. The article thanks Professor Guilherme Wirz and the CICOANI group for their contributions to SBEDV's research. It also touches upon the psychological defense mechanisms ufologists might employ when facing criticism or suggestions, often stemming from years of dealing with political pressures and personal attacks.

C - The Necessity of Producing Work Bulletins

The importance of sharing research through bulletins is discussed. While personal contact is ideal, bulletins offer a glimpse into the work of different research groups, fostering mutual esteem and encouraging diverse approaches to the UFO phenomenon. The more ufological bulletins published in a country, the better it is for research and progress.

OBSERVATION (CIPEX e GENA 2004): The publication addresses proposals from São Paulo suggesting SBEDV cease its bulletin to have material edited there. SBEDV argues that one bulletin cannot replace another, nor can one research society substitute for another, drawing parallels to schools.

Observation (CIPEX e GENA 2004)

This observation clarifies that the regularity, print quality, or appearance of bulletins is less important than their content and sincerity. It stresses the need to acknowledge the source of any research material, especially when it has been previously investigated by another group.

D - Is There a Hidden Face to Ufology?

This section introduces the concept of 'political ufology,' characterized by secrecy and a tendency to hide research, akin to a 'confidential college.' It suggests that attacks on ufology and its witnesses often originate from this political faction, particularly from 'confidential ufologists.' The article posits that this hostility stems from the responsibility of secret services to monitor any new or strange ideas that could challenge the prevailing materialistic view of society. It notes that both Western and Eastern powers, seemingly in cooperation, label internal opposition as 'dissidents.' Ufologists who explore philosophical concepts different from materialism may be labeled as 'dissidents,' 'irresponsible,' or 'subversive.' The article claims that ufology has been 'cut at the root' by legislation, citing the US government's efforts to misdirect the UFO subject through regulations like 200.2, Project Blue-Book, the Condon Committee, and the Robertson Committee (CIA), which aimed to psychologically isolate the subject.

It further explains how this network of espionage and counter-espionage operates, citing the example of combating political dissidents in Brazil with the alleged assistance of the CIA. This cooperation extends to projects like Project Ozônio, involving Brazilian technicians and CIA agents from Langley. The article anticipates even closer collaboration between the CIA and intelligence services regarding extraterrestrials, as terrestrial society is deemed incapable of confronting or vetoing UFO flights and landings. It mentions General Lesley Hunter's comments about UFOs near a US Air Force base storing atomic bombs, suggesting a connection.

E - The Reason for the New "Opening" in the Field of Ufology

This section discusses a recent 'opening' in the UN, initiated by Minister Gairy of Grenada, with the involvement of UN Secretary Waldheim, Allan Hynek, Claude Poher, and Jacques Vallée. It notes that Jacques Vallée's statement to the UN was more positive, suggesting that politicians should consider the public's belief in extraterrestrial contact. Vallée's concluding remarks about the UFO phenomenon potentially representing a greater reality and the UN's choice to treat it as a threat or an opportunity for learning are seen as a positive development.

The article describes this opening by Hynek, Vallée, and Poher (representing the Pentagon, NASA, and the European Community, respectively) as a significant breakthrough after decades of misdirection. It also mentions other 'openings' facilitated by groups like Ground Saucer Watch (GSW), which, through FOIA requests, exposed names of CIA and FBI agents involved in ufology, particularly within NICAP. The article speculates that NICAP might be set up to become a scapegoat in this 'opening,' possibly to protect other agents. It also criticizes the article's origin, suggesting it comes from secret services due to its jargon and the omission of Professor Allen Hynek, a prominent figure in past misdirection efforts.

H - Conclusions

The article draws four main conclusions:
1. It is essential for research groups to subscribe to foreign ufological magazines to stay informed about political trends, which are currently in a state of flux. The number of subscriptions depends on the group's resources and linguistic knowledge.

OBSERVATION: The bookstore Psique, located at Rua Gonçalves Dias, 75, 1st floor, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, has books on ufology, including works by Hans Holzer and Ralph and Judy Blum.

F - The Operation of the New "Opening"

This section recalls the recent opening at the UN, initiated by the Minister of Grenada, with the participation of scientists like Allan Hynek, Claude Poher, and Jacques Vallée. It notes that Jacques Vallée's statement was more positive, suggesting that politicians should consider the public's belief in extraterrestrial contact. Vallée's concluding remarks about the UFO phenomenon potentially representing a greater reality and the UN's choice to treat it as a threat or an opportunity for learning are seen as a positive development.

The article describes this opening by Hynek, Vallée, and Poher (representing the Pentagon, NASA, and the European Community, respectively) as a significant breakthrough after decades of misdirection. It also mentions other 'openings' facilitated by groups like Ground Saucer Watch (GSW), which, through FOIA requests, exposed names of CIA and FBI agents involved in ufology, particularly within NICAP. The article speculates that NICAP might be set up to become a scapegoat in this 'opening,' possibly to protect other agents. It also criticizes the article's origin, suggesting it comes from secret services due to its jargon and the omission of Professor Allen Hynek, a prominent figure in past misdirection efforts.

G - More and More Openings...

Beyond the UN initiative, other 'openings' have occurred through different groups. Ground Saucer Watch (GSW), posing as a civilian, used FOIA requests to expose CIA and FBI agents involved in ufology, particularly within NICAP. This information was published in the MUFON Journal. The article suggests that NICAP might be designated as a scapegoat for these revelations.

OBSERVATION: The article suggests that the report on NICAP is likely a fabrication from secret services, noting the omission of Professor Allen Hynek, a key figure in past disinformation campaigns.

H - Conclusions

The article presents four conclusions:
1. Research groups should subscribe to foreign ufological magazines to stay informed about political trends. The number of subscriptions depends on the group's resources and linguistic knowledge.

OBSERVATION: The bookstore Psique in Rio de Janeiro offers ufology books, including titles by Hans Holzer and Ralph and Judy Blum.

I - The Case of the UFO Abduction in Saco de São Francisco, Niterói (State of Rio de Janeiro)

This section details a specific case of an alleged UFO abduction.

• A - Data:
• Witness: Clelia T. R., a housewife and mother of two, 22 years old at the time of the event.
• Location: Praia do Saco de São Francisco (extension of Icaraí and Canto do Rio beaches), Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Once a secluded area, it is now popular for its panoramic view of Guanabara Bay.
• Date and Time: September 10th (or 11th), 1956, from approximately 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
• Research Conducted: November 17, 1975, early 1976, and May 5, 1976.

Summary of the Episode: Clelia was waiting for a bus when a noisy object approached the beach, hovering over the water. This caused panic among the bathers. She experienced a memory lapse regarding how she was taken inside the object, where she encountered several occupants. One of them, speaking Portuguese, examined her with a device. She also noticed another person on the beach who appeared unconscious. Another memory lapse occurred, after which she found herself back on the beach, waiting for the bus. The people she saw earlier, including the unconscious person, were also on the bus.

B - Account of the Episode:
Clelia had left her home in Niterói to visit a house for sale in Saco de São Francisco. After visiting the property, she returned to wait for the bus. Around 11:00 AM, she noticed a luminous object descending over the sea, accompanied by a loud noise. The noise intensified, causing her to cover her ears, a gesture mirrored by a young man on the beach. The bathers fled the water in fear. The object landed near the beach, about 25 meters away, and lowered itself to the water's surface without causing any disturbance.

Inside the Disc:
Clelia's last memory was of a large, very luminous, round object. She then experienced a gap in her memory, finding herself on a platform in a dimly lit, curved corridor. She saw the young man from the beach lying immobile on another platform. The noise persisted, described as strident and incessant. Two tall figures (approximately 1.75m) approached her. They wore suits resembling aluminum laminate, with belts, and covered their hands and feet as if wearing gloves and boots. They carried her to a circular room about 20 meters in diameter and placed her and the young man on separate platforms.

In the circular room, Clelia complained about the noise to a man without a helmet, whose hair was gray and who spoke perfect, melodious Portuguese. He assured her the noise would soon be corrected and advised her not to cover her ears. This individual appeared to be about 1.70-1.75m tall, wore a similar suit but more form-fitting, was thin, and had dark, penetrating eyes. He explained that she was brought aboard for examination and that the young man was also brought aboard because he was not equipped to face reality without fear and panic. The examination involved a device that moved over her body, emitting a purple light. The noise subsided to a bearable level.

After the examination, which Clelia estimated lasted about five minutes, the man indicated they would talk. Clelia expressed regret at not having a camera to document the moment. The man inquired about the word 'portrait,' and Clelia showed him her ID with a photo. He suggested that on their next encounter, they would 'arrange something' for a photo. Clelia mentioned that their next meeting might be difficult as she would be moving soon. The man assured her they could locate her anywhere, as their machine had recorded her location. He added that future encounters would ideally be in open spaces, not enclosed areas, as terrestrial beings might react aggressively. He stated that they were researching and were not enemies but helpers. He also asked Clelia about a scar on her lower abdomen, which she explained was from a previous surgery. He commented on the backwardness of terrestrial medicine in leaving such scars and noted that their examination machine could see through clothing.

Regarding the unconscious young man, he explained that he would be left with partial amnesia related to their conversation, to prevent her husband from disbelieving her and potentially having her institutionalized. He assured her that if she forgot details, she would later have the capacity to recall exactly what happened.

Clelia was then shown the control room, separated by a thick, bright glass-like wall, through which the exterior could be seen as if through a fog.

Return to Our World

Clelia believes she spent about three hours in the circular and control rooms. She experienced another memory lapse and found herself back on the roadside, waiting for the bus. The passengers on the bus included the bathers she had seen earlier, including the young man who had been unconscious. During the bus ride, the passengers were silent. Clelia noticed her watch had stopped at 12:05 PM, indicating that approximately 4 to 5 hours had passed since she arrived at the beach.

Upon returning home, her husband questioned her absence. Clelia could not recall the events and did not mention visiting the house for sale. She felt an aversion to remembering the incident, possibly due to the overwhelming noise that had threatened her sanity. She told her husband the house was not interesting due to the precarious local commerce.

Clelia's watch, which had stopped during the incident, could not be repaired by three watchmakers. A week after her experience, Clelia read newspaper reports about UFO sightings in Mage, Rio de Janeiro, which brought back memories of her own encounter. She first recounted her adventure to her 21-year-old daughter five months before the interview.

Ufologist Carlos Arctur Ribeiro Rocha (Carlinhos Sideral) and engineer Altino Silva Nunes, who was interested in ufology, helped Clelia reconstruct the events. They attempted to locate the house she had visited 20 years prior but were unsuccessful due to new constructions in the area. Dr. Altino suggested the episode might have been a dream or a period of absence, advising Clelia to forget it.

C - Additional Clarifications and Final Comments

Regression to the episode during hypnotic sleep: Six months after her initial account and 20 years after the event, Clelia underwent hypnotic regression therapy on May 5, 1976, with Dr. Sylvio Lago, a physician and parapsychologist. Dr. Lago's methods, previously applied to other UFO case witnesses, are described as cautious and employing safe hypnotic induction techniques. Clelia's low voice during the regression made the recording difficult to understand, but the tape, despite some defects, did not compromise the overall result. During the regression, Clelia confirmed the details of her conscious account, including her apprehension during the approach of the extraterrestrial vehicle. The consistency between her waking testimony and hypnotic recall supports her sincerity. The regression confirmed her hypnotic state. The article expresses gratitude to Dr. Sylvio Lago for his collaboration and expertise in clarifying the case, as well as for his explanations on hypnosis, its correlations, indications, contraindications, and dangers.

OBSERVATION OF SBEDV: An article from Mufon Ufo Journal (May 1977) by Jenny Randles is cited, referencing a book by Jim and Coral Lorenzen. This article suggests that a witness of contact with extraterrestrials might only remember the event when it is convenient for the extraterrestrials. It also posits that such communications could be monitored remotely by extraterrestrials. In response, Dr. Lago, during Clelia's hypnosis session, apparently anticipated these theories and attempted to establish contact with extraterrestrial entities through Clelia, hypothetically using her as a medium for observation and communication.

When considering Dr. Lago's relatively short involvement in ufology, his progress and methods are commendable. The article expresses hope that other medical professionals will follow Dr. Lago's example, contributing to a more robust understanding of the UFO phenomenon in Brazil.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the methodology of ufological research, the importance of objective and on-site investigation, and the challenges posed by political interference and disinformation in the field. The editorial stance appears to be in favor of rigorous, scientific inquiry into UFO phenomena, advocating for open sharing of information and collaboration among researchers. The publication also seems critical of those who claim undue authority or engage in 'political ufology.' The case study of Clelia T. R. highlights the potential for extraterrestrial contact and the need for careful, scientific investigation, even when dealing with potentially sensitive or controversial topics. The issue also emphasizes the value of international research and the dissemination of findings through bulletins.

This document is a transcript titled 'E - Ata de Regressão ao Episódio, em Sono Hipnótico,' executed by Professor and physician Dr. Sylvio Lago on May 2, 1976. The issue number is 23, and it is part of volume 129/131. The publication is in Portuguese and appears to be from Brazil.

Session Details and Subject's Experiences

The core of the document details a hypnotic regression session with a subject identified as Clelia, guided by Dr. Sylvio Lago. The session begins with Dr. Lago instructing Clelia to relax and enter a deeper hypnotic state, guiding her to recall specific past events.

Regression to September 1956

Dr. Lago guides Clelia to a specific day in September 1956, the day she went to see a house she intended to buy. Clelia is prompted to describe the experience as if she were living it again, focusing on the details of waking up that day and her surroundings. She describes the weather as 'clear, beautiful' and mentions that the visibility of the time was obscured, making it difficult to determine the weather.

Encounter with a UFO

Later in the session, Clelia describes a significant event involving a luminous, round object. She initially hears a loud noise and sees a 'luminous point' descending. She describes it as a 'very large' and 'illuminated' round object with a 'strange color,' resembling a 'cloud or smoke.' The object makes a strong noise and appears to be on the surface of the water. Clelia feels heat and a sensation of her feet being stuck to the ground, unable to move.

Onboard the Craft

Clelia recounts being taken aboard the object. She describes the interior with strange lighting and a sense of being in a 'command room.' She mentions seeing tables and hearing noises. Dr. Lago prompts her to describe the object and her surroundings in detail. Clelia describes a 'triangular room' and a 'tube' coming from the wall, resembling a 'sanfona' (accordion).

Medical Procedure and Amnesia

Clelia describes being laid on a table and experiencing what she perceives as a medical procedure, possibly related to her ears. She mentions that her ears were hurting, and she felt as if something was being done to them. Dr. Lago explains that the pain will pass and that she is being helped. Clelia also discusses the concept of amnesia, which she was told she would experience, and how it relates to her encounters. She mentions that a 'rapaz' (young man) was also involved and that she was told she was different from him, possibly due to a scar.

Communication and Extraterrestrial Beings

Clelia reports that the beings communicated with her, telling her to 'calm down' and that they were not there to harm anyone. They explained that they were from another planet and that their 'mental force' was 'grandiose.' She was told that they would provide her with a 'documentary' rather than just an object. The beings also mentioned that they would not approach humans directly due to their aggressive nature and that there was always a way to communicate, even if not directly.

Post-Encounter and Future Contact

Clelia expresses a desire for further contact. Dr. Lago explains that the current time is more favorable for such interactions. He suggests that Clelia will be a 'channel' for communication and that the beings may wish to provide messages or critiques. The session concludes with Dr. Lago instructing Clelia to rest and be receptive to any further communication.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are hypnotic regression, UFO sightings, alien encounters, and the potential for communication between humans and extraterrestrial beings. The editorial stance, as represented by Dr. Lago's guidance, is one of serious inquiry and documentation of these phenomena, treating the subject's experiences with methodical investigation and analysis. The document emphasizes the importance of detailed testimony and the potential for uncovering significant information through such sessions.

Title: CIPEX e GENA
Issue: No. 129/131
Year: 2004
Publisher: SBEDV
Language: Portuguese (summary in English)

This issue of the SBEDV Bulletin, presented under the CIPEX e GENA umbrella, delves into various aspects of ufological research, with a significant focus on abduction cases and contact experiences, particularly within Brazil. The document includes transcribed dialogues, research summaries, and discussions on the importance of ufological publications.

Research and Case Studies

The 1956 Niteroi Abduction Case

The core of this issue revolves around a detailed account of an abduction that took place in 1956 near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The witness, a 22-year-old housewife living in Niteroi, was waiting for a bus when she was attracted by a luminous point in the sky. This object, described as a disc-shaped craft producing an unbearable noise, landed near the water's surface. The witness experienced a gap in her consciousness, only to find herself later on a stretcher, attended by masked and unmasked individuals. She was informed that she had been taken aboard a spaceship for a physical examination.

During the examination, the 'captain' of the ship explained that his people were afraid to reveal themselves openly on Earth due to the perceived aggressiveness of Earth's defense forces. He also cited the division among Earth's governments, characterized by mutual distrust, greed, and egoism, as a barrier to any potential deals or open contact. The witness's watch also malfunctioned after the event, and attempts to repair it by multiple watchmakers were unsuccessful.

To further investigate this case, Professor Dr. Sylvio Lago, a medical doctor, hypnotist, parapsychologist, and ufologist, conducted a deep hypnotic regression with the witness. This regression, conducted with the permission of SBEDV and the witness, provided new details and facts about the UFO episode.

Chapters 4 and 5: UFO Field Investigation and Landing Sites

Chapters 4 and 5 of the Bulletin are highlighted for their focus on contemporary ufological issues, particularly UFO field investigations and landing sites. The research benefited from the assistance of Hulvio Brant Aleixo, a psychologist from Belo Horizonte and President of CICOANI, Brazil's oldest UFO research group (founded in 1954).

Chapters 3: Obituaries and Case Research

Chapter 3 is dedicated to the obituary of the late Dr. Mario Prudente Aquino, a significant figure in Brazilian UFO research. Aquino was known for his extensive involvement in the field investigation of the Antônio Vilas Boas contact case. He personally visited Vilas Boas' farm to gather details and created sketches that accompanied earlier SBEDV Bulletins. Aquino also received research records from Dr. Olavo Fontes, who had previously conducted extensive research on the Vilas Boas case, with the request to forward them to Gordon Creighton of the Flying Saucer Review for potential publication. The issue notes that Creighton recognized the importance of the Vilas Boas case, and its publication in the Review is credited with opening the doors for more contact case investigations by ufologists.

The issue also reflects on the passing of both Mario Aquino and Dr. Olavo Fontes, expressing a sense of irony that these dedicated researchers did not live to see the full fruition of their work.

Dialogue Transcripts

The document includes transcribed dialogues, likely from a session involving Clélia, a contactee or witness, and an interviewer (DSL). Key points from these dialogues include:

• Avistamentos (Sightings): Clélia suggests that UFO sightings are becoming more frequent and perhaps less significant to observers, implying a normalization or desensitization.
• Future Visits: When asked if 'He' will come soon, Clélia responds, "It's quite possible."
• Conditions for Visits: The discussion touches upon why UFO sightings are more frequent in certain areas or times. Clélia attributes this to 'better conditions,' suggesting that despite terrestrial aggression, life is still more bearable, implying a contrast with wartime conditions.
• Physiological/Climatic Factors: The interviewer probes further, asking about physiological or climatic reasons for frequent appearances in specific zones. Clélia insists that the appearances are becoming more frequent, not less.
• Contact vs. Sightings: Clélia distinguishes between 'contacts' and mere 'sightings,' stating, "But the contacts are us. So it's not just sightings, is it?"
• Location of Contact: The dialogue questions whether the best contact is happening in South America, implying a focus on the region's significance in UFO encounters.

Editorial Stance and Themes

The Importance of Ufological Bulletins

The publication emphasizes the critical role of ufological bulletins in disseminating research and exposing trends within the field. It suggests that these bulletins are a mark of a group's eagerness, insight, and sincerity. The text also alludes to the presence of 'secret services' and 'little tricks' within some ufological groups, which can cause conflicts. It warns that organizations like 'Consumers Society,' Bilderberg, security councils, and even the UNO UFO Commission might be using 'conditioned' UFO experts to manipulate information.

Therefore, it is recommended that research groups subscribe to bulletins from societies that maintain confidential contact with political or government agencies to stay informed about their future activities and strategies.

Concerns about 'Consumers Society' and 'Bilderberg'

There is a clear concern expressed about powerful entities like 'Consumers Society' and 'Bilderberg,' described as multinational bankers and security councils. These groups are perceived as fearing the advanced techniques of extraterrestrials and potentially using 'conditioned' UFO experts to control the narrative.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly advocates for open and transparent ufological research, highlighting the importance of sharing information through bulletins. It expresses a critical view of potential disinformation campaigns orchestrated by powerful entities. The focus on abduction and contact cases, particularly the detailed analysis of the 1956 Niteroi incident and the legacy of the Vilas Boas case, underscores a commitment to documenting and understanding extraterrestrial interactions. The dialogues with Clélia suggest an ongoing, perhaps evolving, relationship between humans and extraterrestrials, with specific conditions influencing the frequency and nature of their appearances. The editorial stance appears to be one of vigilance against manipulation and a dedication to thorough, evidence-based research in the field of ufology.
