Director's Message: The UFO Summit

Pete Mazzola, the editor, discusses the long-standing challenges in solving the UFO phenomenon due to animosity and narrow-mindedness within UFO organizations. He proposes the "1982 UFO SUMMIT" as a solution, aiming to foster trust and cooperation. The summit's proposed purposes include adopting a global "UFO Manual" for investigations, a "UFO Code of Ethics," establishing a "Re-Act Team" for high-strangeness incidents, a "Policy and Grievance Committee," and a "Constitution of UFOlogy." The overarching theme is "harmony and cooperation" to keep UFOlogy alive and prevent governments from suppressing UFO evidence. Mazzola notes that competitive UFO organizations, like nations, could benefit from such a summit to "co-exist with one another." He emphasizes that a UFO Summit is the "only" solution for the survival of UFOlogy.

The SBI has partnered with MUFON for the "1982 UFO SUMMIT," which will be held in conjunction with the MUFON UFO Symposium in Toronto, Canada, from July 2-5, 1982. The summit itself is scheduled for Monday, July 5th. Featured speakers at the MUFON symposium include Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Dr. George and Iris Owen, and Dr. Michael A. Persinger, with topics ranging from "Planning for the Next UFO Flap" to "Predicting UFO Events and Experiences."

Groups Will Meet, Discuss Cooperation

This section, also by Pete Mazzola, further details the "Summit Conference" in Toronto. It highlights that the event is a collaboration between MUFON, the United Friends of Ontario, and the SBI, anticipating a large audience. The conference will feature two video-taped films: "Strange Harvest" on cattle mutilations and "UFOs Are Real." The program includes registration, displays, and a cocktail hour. Admission is $6.00 per session or $25.00 for the entire symposium. Hotel reservations can be made through MUFON or the Westbury Hotel, with special group rates available.

Mazzola reiterates the importance of UFO researchers altering the course of UFO history and preparing UFOlogy for the future. He questions whether UFOlogy will remain the same if researchers do not prioritize dedication over selfish emotions. He expresses optimism that the 1982 UFO Summit will be beneficial for UFOlogy and mankind.

Information is also provided for the 6th Annual MUFON of North Carolina UFO Conference in Winston-Salem on June 19-20, featuring speakers like Dr. Willy Smith and Bernard Haugen.

Editorial

The editorial reflects on the growth of The SBI Report since its inception in 1979, noting changes and anticipating more. The publication aims to become a professionally printed source of UFO material for novices and experienced researchers alike. The current format is 20 pages, with plans to expand as advertising grows. Future issues will feature content from APRO, MUFON, and CUFOS. The editorial requests continued support and patience to make The SBI a stronger organization, emphasizing that UFOs have mystified humanity for 35 years and will continue to do so until the phenomenon is solved.

Movie Review

A review of Steven Spielberg's film "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" is included, calling it a "MUST" for UFO enthusiasts. The reviewer praises the film as funny, touching, exhilarating, and irresistible, surpassing "JAWS," "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS," and "RAIDERS." The movie is rated "PG" and was scheduled to open on June 11th.

Anti-Mass Field Effect by Kenneth Behrendt

This lengthy article explores the theoretical "Anti-Mass Field Effect" as a potential explanation for UFO propulsion and capabilities. Behrendt argues that skeptics' disbelief in UFOs often stems from two issues: the apparent violation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity regarding speeds exceeding the speed of light, and the immense power levels demonstrated by UFOs. He posits that the key flaw in the skeptics' argument is the assumption that UFOs possess normal mass.

Behrendt explains that as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases, requiring infinite energy to reach light speed. He proposes that extraterrestrial technology has found a way to alter mass, possibly reducing it to near zero. This "anti-mass field effect" would allow UFOs to hover without propulsion, perform extreme accelerations and decelerations without crushing occupants, reduce the mass of their occupants, and travel at speeds far exceeding light speed, enabling interstellar voyages in months or days.

He suggests that this effect could be generated by equipment inside a UFO, diminishing in intensity with distance. This is supported by witness testimonies of feeling weightless inside vehicles chased by UFOs. The anti-mass field does not destroy mass but converts it into energy, which is stored and then released when the field is turned off. This process requires a dramatic increase in velocity as mass dwindles to conserve kinetic energy.

Furthermore, the article explains how the interaction of the anti-mass field with atmospheric molecules (oxygen and nitrogen) can create a highly ionized plasma. This plasma, along with magnetic fields, can be used for propulsion. By manipulating the plasma flow around the UFO's hull, aerodynamic drag is virtually eliminated, and the craft can be propelled at incredible speeds. This also explains the bright spectral glows associated with "nocturnal light UFOs."

The article also touches on how UFOs might cause power line brownouts and blackouts by acting as a low-resistance conductor to short circuit high voltage sources. It further explains how the anti-mass field can enhance the "Edison Effect" in a car's headlight filament, causing it to dim or go out by forcing electrons to leave the filament, increasing resistance.

Behrendt concludes that the anti-mass field concept is a powerful tool for rationalizing "EM-effects" associated with UFOs, though it has not yet been duplicated by earthly science. He then introduces two hypothetical designs for "anti-mass field generators" aboard UFOs: a "gaseous" type and a "rotating" type.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the advancement and professionalization of ufology, the need for cooperation among researchers and organizations, and the exploration of theoretical explanations for UFO phenomena. The SBI, through its publication and proposed summit, advocates for a more scientific and unified approach to studying UFOs, aiming to overcome skepticism and governmental suppression of information. The editorial stance is one of optimism and a call to action for the UFO community to work collaboratively towards solving the mystery of UFOs.

This issue of THE SIXTH QUARK JOURNAL, dated June/July and mailed August 1-10, 1982, is dedicated to exploring the "pursuit of the truth" regarding the UFO phenomenon. It features articles on advanced UFO technology, research organizations, and psychic phenomena.

Anti-Mass Field Generators and UFO Propulsion

The issue delves into the technical aspects of UFO propulsion, particularly focusing on "anti-mass field generators." These generators are described as complex systems that utilize toroidal electromagnets and inner tubular capacitors to create a field that negates the craft's mass. The savings in complexity achieved by UFOs using rotating anti-mass field generators, by not needing to charge and pump gas around the torus, are offset by the machinery required to rotate the entire assembly. The electric field at right angles to the core's magnetic field is provided by an inner tubular capacitor, consisting of a negatively charged central metal bar and a positively charged toroidal metal shell.

To avoid the complexities of slip rings for supplying power to a rotating assembly, the power sources are designed to move along with the generator. This often results in UFOs displaying rotating outer rims or hull surfaces. Figure 3 illustrates a rotating anti-mass field generator and its supports.

The article discusses how placing the crew within the torus of an anti-mass field generator provides maximum protection from inertial forces, making crashes due to sudden loss of the anti-mass field highly unlikely. While these generators require energy, the power needs are not excessive and can be supplied by conventional sources like fuel cells, which can produce electricity and water. This water can then be used with photovoltaic cells to generate electricity, which can power the fuel cells in reverse, creating hydrogen and oxygen for storage.

The text argues that two main objections raised by skeptics against the reality of UFOs are false. These objections are based on the assumption that current earthly physics is complete and cannot account for spacecraft with extraordinary performance characteristics.

The article also touches upon the massless nature of craft with rotating surfaces, explaining that this is why they can change their plane of rotation without the precessional forces that would affect a normal-mass object. Various UFO shapes, such as discs, globes, and cigars, are shown in Figure 4, illustrating how anti-mass field generators might be positioned within them.

UFO Research Organizations and Efforts

Several organizations are highlighted for their contributions to UFO research:

• The Fund for UFO Research: This non-profit organization channels public contributions into UFO research and education. It has supported legal costs for lawsuits against the CIA and NSA for UFO document release, funded investigations into historical documents, and provided awards for UFO articles. It also supported an investigation into the December 29, 1980 Huffman, Texas case, where witnesses experienced trauma during a CE with a UFO, and offered a grant for studying abduction cases. The Fund is considering proposals for a data computer bank, studies of Spanish UFO cases, and a collection of pre-1947 sightings.
• The Scientific Bureau of Investigation (SBI): The SBI is a non-profit organization incorporated in Delaware, aiming to solve the UFO mystery and make open contact with UFOs. Membership includes individuals with backgrounds in law enforcement, science, and other fields, with representatives in foreign countries. The SBI publishes "THE SBI REPORT," a magazine featuring sighting reports, investigation results, and editorials. They also publish a "STEP-BY-STEP UFO FIELD INVESTIGATING MANUAL" and maintain a library of UFO documents. The SBI has a "REACT TEAM" to respond to "high strangeness" UFO reports and aims to answer fundamental questions about UFO origins, intentions, and the possibility of open contact.
• The SBI Report: This publication provides subscribers with comprehensive UFO sighting reports, investigation results, and behind-the-scenes organizational information. It also includes editorials and guest writer contributions.

UFO Conventions and Events

The SBI Directors and staff are seeking to know who will attend the upcoming 1982 MUFON Symposium/UFO SUMMIT Conference, urging immediate response via postcard, letter, or phone.

Psychic Phenomena and Personal Development

Patricia Mischell, an SBI Consultant, is featured prominently. She is described as a mother of three, twice widowed, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Her journey led her to study psychic phenomena and the ministry. She combines her intelligence and spiritual nature as a traveling minister of healing, aiming to alter people's concepts of their minds to facilitate healing. Her own health has reportedly improved significantly.

Patricia is the founder/president of THE WORLD OF ESP and acting minister at the HOUSE OF HOPE. She is an author, radio/TV personality, ordained minister, doctor of Metaphysics, and holds numerous diplomas. She offers counseling and teaches a 40-week course on "mind expansion," self-development, and ESP, emphasizing positive thinking.

Her psychic abilities have been called upon by police departments, with a reported 85% success rate in solving cases. The newsletter of The House of Hope, "HOPE," is published monthly and covers psychic development, mind powers, and current events.

Meditation Tapes and Recommended Books

The issue promotes meditation tapes featuring Patricia Mischell, designed to assist newcomers to meditation by guiding them through relaxation techniques and inner experiences. Three tapes are available: "Finding Your Guide," "Color Meditation," and "Meet the Inner You." Recommended books on meditation by Roy Davis and Eknath Easwaran are also listed.

Financial Support and Subscriptions

Both The Fund for UFO Research and The SBI solicit donations and subscriptions to support their operations. The Fund offers a tax-deductible donation and a collection of FBI/CIA UFO documents for donations of $30 or more. The SBI offers a yearly subscription to its "SBI Report" for $12.00 and provides a professional-type badge, ID card, and investigation manual for $15.00 for investigators, directors, and staff.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the scientific and investigative aspects of UFOs, particularly focusing on advanced propulsion systems like anti-mass fields. There is a strong emphasis on the need for organized research and public participation to solve the UFO mystery. The editorial stance is one of advocating for open-minded inquiry and challenging skeptical viewpoints by presenting evidence and theoretical frameworks that suggest the existence of advanced technology and phenomena beyond current mainstream scientific understanding. The inclusion of psychic phenomena and personal development suggests a broader view of the unexplained, integrating both technological and esoteric aspects of the UFO enigma.

This document is a letter from the Scientific Bureau of Investigation, Inc. (SBI), dated June 1982. It serves as a communication to the readers regarding an unexpected delay in the publication of their professionally printed "SBI Report".

Publication Delay Explanation

Pete Mazzola, the Director/Editor, explains that the "all new" SBI Report, intended for this issue (Vol.4--No.3), will instead commence with the next issue. The reason for this delay is an administrative issue with the U.S. Postal Service. Specifically, the SBI has not yet received a permit number that is required to mail their publication at the 3rd class non-profit rates. This permit number is essential for their printer to imprint on the new cover design.

Decision to Mail Current Issue

Despite the delay in the professionally printed version, the SBI decided not to wait for the permit number to be issued before sending out the current issue. They felt it would be more beneficial to their readers to receive the current issue promptly, even if it meant mailing it without the new cover design imprint.

Reader Appreciation and Future Plans

The letter concludes by thanking the readers for their understanding, cooperation, and patience regarding this matter. It also includes a hopeful note about seeing some of the readers in Toronto in July.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The primary theme of this communication is transparency with the readership regarding operational challenges. The editorial stance emphasizes reader service by prioritizing timely delivery of content over strict adherence to production schedules when faced with external administrative hurdles. The publication appears to operate on a non-profit basis and is actively seeking to optimize its mailing costs.
