Linda Moulton Howe: Wave of Mutilation
This feature delves into the work of Linda Moulton Howe, described as a tenacious and respected investigative reporter in the UFO community. Her work on animal mutilations spans nearly four decades. The article recounts her investigation in Colorado in the summer of 1979, prompted by headlines about "More Animal Mutilations." She began her investigation in September 1979, traveling with her television crew to interview ranchers and law enforcement. This led to the production of a 90-minute special called "A Strange Harvest," broadcast on CBS in May 1980.
Howe recounts an experience with Sheriff Tex Graves, who showed her 266 color Polaroids of animal mutilations. These images revealed precise excisions of body parts, such as ears, eyes, and jaws, with no blood, which led Howe to understand the term "bloodless." She consulted veterinarians and pathologists, who noted that such clean removal of tissue would require boiling the bone, not just cutting. The lack of blood and tracks around the mutilated animals led law enforcement to consider aerial explanations.
Sheriff Graves suggested that the perpetrators were "creatures from outer space." Howe's investigation continued for nine months, during which she heard stories from law enforcement and ranchers about beams of light from glowing objects in the sky. She eventually found herself in Trinidad, Colorado, where similar mutilations were reported. The article includes a quote from Howe stating, "I HAVE NO PROBLEM IN SAYING THAT THERE IS AN ALIEN INTELLIGENCE INTERACTING WITH EARTH."
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores themes of ufology, paranormal phenomena, alternative history, and unexplained mysteries. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, providing a platform for researchers and individuals who support alternative thinking. There is a clear emphasis on presenting information that challenges conventional narratives and encourages readers to engage with these topics. The magazine also highlights the importance of community within the alternative thinking sphere, as evidenced by the promotion of events like "Contact In The Desert" and the discussion of new platforms like ONSTELLAR.
This issue of Shadows Of Your Mind Magazine, titled "A STRANGE HARVEST," delves into a variety of intriguing topics, with a strong focus on UFO phenomena, ancient mysteries, and government secrecy. The cover prominently features a spaceman's helmet with Earth reflected in the visor, alongside the title "CONTACT IN THE DESERT" and "THE YEAR OF DISCLOSURE," hinting at the magazine's exploration of extraterrestrial life and potential revelations.
Cover Story: A Strange Harvest
The main feature, "A Strange Harvest," centers on the work of Linda Moulton Howe, an investigator and filmmaker known for her work on animal mutilations. Howe shares her perspective, stating with certainty that an alien intelligence is interacting with the planet. She recounts her journey, which began with a focus on medicine and science, leading her to investigate the UFO phenomenon and animal mutilations across the globe. Howe highlights that governments, including the US and UK, have been aware of this since World War II, citing documents released through the UK National Archives that detail a discussion between Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower about a silver disk encountered by an RAF fighter plane. They reportedly concluded it was a 'celestial phenomenon' that needed to be kept secret to protect economic and social stability. Howe expresses frustration with the control exerted by a '1 percent' who she believes keep the truth about humanity's origins and history from the public.
Animal Mutilation Cases
The magazine presents two specific cases of animal mutilations: one in Idaho City, USA, where a deer was found with its entrails cleanly removed, resembling cattle mutilations; and another near Cascade Reservoir, USA, where three dead cattle were found with their organs cleanly removed. The report on the Cascade Reservoir incident notes that the cuts were precise, suggesting a professional job, and the cause of death was undetermined pending an autopsy.

A Confirmation Of The Phenomenon
This article by Paul Budding discusses the efforts of To The Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences (TTSA), founded by former Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge, in pursuing UFO disclosure. The campaign gained traction when the Pentagon admitted that the CIA had spent $22 million investigating unidentified aerial phenomena under the project AATIP. Luis Elizondo, a former CIA officer involved in AATIP, became a public face for TTSA. However, the article notes skepticism within the UFO community, with some viewing TTSA's efforts as a potential CIA 'psy-op.' The article also mentions controversies surrounding the release of gun-camera videos and the misidentification of a UFO image. Despite these challenges, the author acknowledges TTSA's success in bringing the UFO question to the forefront of mainstream media attention.
Contact in the Desert Event
A promotional section advertises "CONTACT IN THE DESERT," an event described as an "EPIC weekend of Adventure into the Science of UFO's & Extraterrestrial Life, Ancient Aliens, Human Origins, Crop Circles, Government Disclosure, UFO Sightings, Interplanetary Living, Contact Experiences and the 'Need to Know.'" The event features prominent figures such as George Noory, David Wilcock, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, and Nick Pope, and is scheduled for June 1-3, 2018, in Indian Wells, California.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores themes of unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries, and the potential for extraterrestrial contact. There is a strong undercurrent of questioning official narratives and highlighting government secrecy surrounding UFOs and related topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations and the possibility of a hidden truth about humanity's place in the universe and its history.
This issue of Shadows Of Your Mind Magazine, titled 'CONFIRMATION VS DISCLOSURE', focuses on the evolving perception of the UFO phenomenon, moving from ridicule to a more respected field of study. It highlights the efforts of organizations like the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences (TTSA) in bringing about this shift. The magazine features interviews with key figures, analysis of recent developments, and a look at UFO-themed art.
Confirmation vs Disclosure: The New Paradigm
The lead article posits that organizations like AATIP and TTSA are achieving 'Confirmation' of the UFO phenomenon's reality, rather than 'Disclosure' of extraterrestrial presence. Tom DeLonge, former singer of Blink-182, is presented as a key figure chosen by the US government to communicate UFO knowledge, having been 'briefed' and experiencing significant personal impact. His tweet on December 13, 2017, foreshadowed the Pentagon's confession three days later regarding its five-year study (2007-12) of UFOs, known as AATIP. This program was initiated by Senator Harry Reid and supported by businessman Robert Bigelow. Luis Elizondo, a former intelligence official from the Pentagon's C Wing, led AATIP and later resigned to co-found TTSA with DeLonge.
The article details the impressive backgrounds of the TTSA team, including Jim Semivan (former CIA), Dr. Hal Puthoff (theoretical physicist), Steve Justice (formerly of Lockheed Martin's Skunkworks), and Dr. Gary Nolan (Professor of Microbiology and Immunology). These individuals bring a wealth of expertise from various scientific and intelligence fields.
From Ridicule to Plausibility
The magazine argues that the UFO phenomenon is no longer a subject of ridicule but a worthy field of study with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the world. It emphasizes that the reality of UFOs is supported by countless multiple witness close encounters with a consistent pattern. While some believe these craft are controlled by biological extraterrestrial intelligence, the author suggests a non-biological intelligence or even a simulated universe theory, aligning with ideas from figures like Elon Musk. The psychophysical hypothesis of Remo Roth, who views aliens as entities in a 'psychophysical reality' and UFOs as their 'tools', is also mentioned.
The Role of Grant Cameron and Historical Context
Canadian UFO researcher Grant Cameron links UFOs to other phenomena like Near Death Experiencers, emphasizing consciousness. Luis Elizondo believes that UFO capabilities are close to being understood within cutting-edge science, potentially leading to a split in ufology. The article stresses that the UFO phenomenon has been known to be real for at least seven decades, citing the 1947 'Twining Memo' which stated the phenomenon was 'real and not visionary or fictitious'. The work of psychologist Carl Jung in 'Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth Of Things Seen In The Skies' is also referenced, noting his observations of UFOs performing inexplicable maneuvers.
The Podesta Problem and Media Influence
The issue delves into the 'Podesta Problem,' referencing the leaked emails of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. Podesta had previously advocated for transparency in government, particularly regarding UFOs. While there are rumors of his involvement with TTSA, the article suggests this might be a consolation for the WikiLeaks revelations. The New York Times' front-page headline 'Glowing Auras and Black Money: The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program' in December 2017 is highlighted as a significant moment, bringing much-needed openness and transparency to the subject. The article notes that the NYT meticulously vetted its sources, ensuring the credibility of the story.
Luis Elizondo: The Face of Confirmation
Luis Elizondo is presented as a central figure in the 'confirmation' approach, aiming to bring clarity and respect to the UFO field. While he doesn't propose theories about the intelligence behind UFOs, TTSA's aim is to replicate UFO technology. The article mentions the USS Nimitz case (2004) as one of the three videos released by TTSA, detailing the advanced maneuvers of the object and the military's tracking of similar craft.
Stephen Bassett: The Disclosure Campaigner
An interview with Stephen Bassett, head of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG), discusses his lifelong advocacy for 'Disclosure' – the formal acknowledgment of an extraterrestrial presence. He believes the truth embargo began in the 1940s and that barriers have shifted from national security to public relations. Bassett suggests that while the US government has been secretive, it's not due to global representation but arrogance. He criticizes the mainstream media's historical tendency to ignore or sneer at the subject, attributing it to institutionalized compliance. Bassett believes that Donald Trump is not the 'Disclosure president' and suggests Vladimir Putin might be a more likely candidate to initiate disclosure. PRG is working on a political documentary titled 'Disclosure.'
Erik Stitt: The Art of UFOs
The magazine features an interview with artist Erik Stitt, whose work explores UFO themes. Stitt describes himself as an 'experiencer' and views UFOs and other paranormal phenomena as part of a singular, multi-dimensional experience. His art, created digitally, is described as highly detailed and often based on memories or intuitive channeling. He discusses his creative process, which involves starting around noon and working late into the night, often feeling guided by an unseen force. Stitt's work has found an audience among 'Fadernauts,' fans of the Fade To Black radio show, and he has collaborated with the show's host, Jimmy Church.
Book Reviews
The 'Books' section reviews three titles:
- Missing 411: Off The Grid by David Paulides: The seventh installment in a series examining mysterious disappearances, combining modern and historical cases.
- UFO Photo by Jason Gleaves: This book examines UFO images and provides methods for testing their authenticity, referencing historical cases like the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles and the 1950 Trent photos.
- Traveler by Kerry Haggard & J.D.Cochrane II: This book revisits the 1897 Aurora, Texas, crash incident and a related mystery in 1997, exploring a craft crash and a single occupant.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the shift in the public and official perception of UFOs, moving towards acceptance and serious investigation. The magazine champions the efforts of TTSA and AATIP in providing 'confirmation' of the phenomenon's reality. There's a strong emphasis on the credibility of witnesses and the scientific investigation of UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, presenting various theories and perspectives while grounding them in documented events and expert opinions. The issue also highlights the intersection of UFO research with art and technology, suggesting a broader cultural impact of the phenomenon. The magazine encourages readers to engage with the subject matter, providing resources for further exploration.
Title: Shadows Of Your Mind
Issue Date: Saturday 23rd June 2018
Document Type: Magazine Issue
This issue of "Shadows Of Your Mind" magazine focuses on the "Awakening UFO & Conscious Life Expo" held on June 23rd, 2018, and features an in-depth look at James Gilliland and his ECETI Ranch in Trout Lake, Washington.
Awakening UFO & Conscious Life Expo
The cover of the magazine promotes the "Awakening UFO & Conscious Life Expo," highlighting "Time to Believe & Raise Consciousness." Featured speakers include David Icke, Erich von Däniken, Mike Bara, Paola Harris, David Childress, and CK Pope. The expo aimed to explore UFOs and conscious living.
James Gilliland and ECETI Ranch
The magazine dedicates significant space to James Gilliland and his ECETI Ranch. Gilliland, a rancher, author, and lecturer, describes his idyllic property in Washington state, known for its spiritual energy and proximity to the mysterious Mount Adams. ECETI (Enlightened Contact with ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) is presented as a place where visitors can experience paranormal and supranormal activity.
Gilliland recounts his personal journey, including childhood visions and a close connection with a being he identifies as Mary, the universal divine feminine energy. He also shares anecdotes from his father's encounter with an extraterrestrial craft in New Mexico.
The ranch operates a strict alcohol and drug-free policy, emphasizing the need for clear faculties due to the intense experiences guests may have. Gilliland himself is described as affable and softly spoken, possessing a profound wisdom.
He recalls witnessing Ralph Ring and Otis Carr build and test 'flying saucers' in the 1950s, a project that was eventually shut down by the FBI. Gilliland also mentions that celebrities like Robbie Williams and Danny Dyer have visited the ranch.
ECETI is noted for frequent UFO sightings, often observed through night vision binoculars. Sasquatch sightings are also common, with visitors reporting sounds and sightings of these creatures. Gilliland states that the ranch is a place where debunkers often change their minds due to the overwhelming evidence.
Gilliland discusses his own experiences of being taken up on extraterrestrial craft, primarily by Pelaidians and Nordics. He describes a ship with three seats and screens, where he interacted with a female pilot. He also mentions the manifestation of Kwan Yin, the Buddhist Goddess of Compassion, at the ranch, with photographic evidence.
Dimensions and Consciousness
Gilliland elaborates on the concept of dimensions, explaining the physical reality of the third dimension and the multi-layered nature of the fourth dimension, which can host various entities, from malevolent ETs to spirit guides. He describes the fifth dimension as unity consciousness, or Christ consciousness.
He advocates for a shift away from mainstream media ('lame-stream') and encourages people to connect with nature to raise their consciousness and prepare for ascension. He suggests turning off electronic devices like Wi-Fi and 4G at night.
The Mount Adams Enigma
The issue touches upon mysterious phenomena at Mount Adams, including a cave-like opening witnessed by James Gilliland. He believes this is one of three 'doors' on the mountain from which ships emerge, and that these features are not natural. He notes that ships are often seen hovering over these openings, and that one such opening appeared to collapse after a craft was seen nearby.
Bob Lazar and Area 51
The article references Jeremy Corbell, a filmmaker and researcher, and his interest in Bob Lazar. Corbell's fascination began with a radio broadcast by George Knapp about Lazar's claims regarding a classified US Government project at a facility near Papoose Lake, Nevada (often associated with Area 51 and the S-4 facility). Corbell highlights how Lazar's story, despite skepticism, has significantly influenced popular culture and inadvertently turned Area 51 into a 'UFO Disneyland'. John Lear, a former USAF pilot, is also mentioned in connection with Area 51, with Corbell sharing photographs Lear took in 1977.
The Future is Bright
James Gilliland expresses optimism for the future, believing that a younger generation is emerging to spread positive messages and explore higher dimensional aspects. He anticipates the revelation of free energy technology, energetic healing devices, and anti-aging technologies. He sees a coming 'ascendancy' and a reunion with the 'Star Nations' after the Earth heals, leading to a golden age.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores themes of UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, consciousness, spirituality, and paranormal phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, encouraging readers to question mainstream narratives and explore alternative perspectives. The publication actively seeks stories and contributions from its readers, as indicated by the 'Fancy Yourself as a Writer' section.
This issue of SHADOWS OF YOUR MIND features an extensive interview with filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, focusing on his documentary work and his unique approach to exploring UFO phenomena. The cover story highlights his film "PATIENT 17," which delves into the investigation of a mysterious object removed from a human body. The magazine also includes a "Showguide" section profiling various UFO-related media personalities and programs.
Jeremy Corbell: A Passport to People's Lives
Jeremy Corbell describes his journey into filmmaking as irregular, driven by a desire to elevate the presentation of UFO topics. He emphasizes that his camera serves as a "passport" allowing him access to people's lives and stories in ways he wouldn't otherwise achieve. Corbell is critical of the "YouTube generation" of UFO films, striving for higher aesthetic quality. He admits to a trial-and-error approach to his craft, using a Canon 5D Mark ii and Apple's Final Cut Pro X, and highlights the importance of meticulous attention to detail in every frame and sound.
Corbell's work is supported by various individuals and entities, including people within the U.S. government and intelligence agencies. He stresses the paramount importance of backing up his extensive footage, having lost material in the past. His process involves sifting through vast amounts of material to create coherent narratives, often narrowing down hours of interviews into minutes of usable content. He dedicates significant storage space, with 24 terabytes alone for the John Lear stories.
He discusses his collaborations, including working with Bob Lazar, whom he managed to interview extensively, and Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, for his last interview. Corbell notes that Bob Lazar's primary condition for his film was that Jeremy should "Don't. Make. Shit. Up.," a directive Corbell takes seriously.
"Patient 17": A Material Science Mystery
The film "Patient 17" is a central focus, detailing the investigation of an object removed from a patient. Corbell initially hesitated to tackle abduction cases due to their subjective nature and perceived lack of physical evidence, but was influenced by the work of John Mack. The object removed from the patient yielded surprising scientific data, revealing 36 different alloys, far more complex than typical human-made alloys. While Dr. Lear theorized it might be meteoric, meteorite specialists at UCLA have ruled out meteoric iron. The object was preserved in organic material, specifically a serum made from the patient's white blood cells, to maintain its original environment.
Corbell acknowledges that while the scientific results are the closest to "proof" of non-terrestrial alloys in a human body, undeniable proof linking these objects to non-terrestriality remains elusive. He receives numerous inquiries from people who believe they may have similar objects within them, but states this is outside his expertise.
UFO Research and Government Interest
Corbell connects his work to recent revelations about government interest in UFO phenomena, citing Senator Harry Reid's admission of a black budget investigation. He explains that this $22 million initiative was a continuation of studies conducted by NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science) and the DIA, in partnership with billionaire Robert Bigelow. He frames this funding as a small fraction of the larger sums potentially involved, referencing Donald Rumsfeld's 2001 statement about missing Pentagon funds.
He also discusses the 2013 Citizen Disclosure hearing, which he filmed, documenting extensive witness testimony about UFO secrecy. Corbell highlights the work of individuals like Stephen Bassett, Stephen Greer, and Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy in pushing for public disclosure and congressional hearings.
Media Landscape and Trusted Sources
The "Showguide" section provides a curated list of trusted sources for UFO information in the digital age. It profiles podcasts and shows such as "Fade To Black" with Jimmy Church, "Richard Dolan Show," and "Coast To Coast AM" with George Noory and George Knapp, highlighting their hosts and the types of topics they cover.

Interview: Preston Dennett on Out-of-Body Experiences
Preston Dennett, a veteran OBE'er, discusses his journey into researching OBEs since 1986, following his mother's death. He describes his first OBE as terrifying, waking up to find his physical body lying next to him, but subsequent experiences became more positive and profound.
Dennett explains that OBEs can involve flying, permeating objects, walking through walls, and visiting higher dimensions, including encounters with spirit guides and deceased loved ones. He recounts visiting heavenly realms, a summer field that glowed, and meeting enlightened masters. While most experiences are positive, he mentions instances of encountering hostile entities or premonitions of death.
He differentiates OBEs from lucid dreaming, stating that OBEs occur in a perceived real and independent environment, whereas lucid dreams are mental projections. Dennett believes that everyone has the potential for OBEs, but fear, skepticism, and lack of commitment are common obstacles.
He outlines three main approaches to achieving OBEs:
1. Dreamwork: Becoming lucid in dreams by identifying anomalies and practicing reality testing (permeability, gravity, finger-pull tests).
2. Reality Testing: Consistently asking oneself if they are dreaming and testing the physical environment's properties.
3. Relaxation, Visualization, and Affirmation: A three-step process involving deep relaxation, slowing down thoughts, and affirming the intention to have an OBE, often using visualizations like elevators or boats.
Dennett assures readers that OBEs are safe, with an energetic silver cord connecting the astral body to the physical one, ensuring return. He emphasizes persistence, emotional control, and setting intentions as key to successful OBEs.
The Akashic Records
The magazine briefly explains the Akashic Records as a record of each individual soul's lives and potential futures, referencing psychic Edgar Cayce and Madam Helen Blavatsky. It suggests resources like akashicrecordsofsouls.com and maureenstgermain.com for accessing these records.

Interview: John DeSouza on UFOs and Paranormal Investigations
John DeSouza, a former FBI Special Agent with 25 years of experience in counter-terrorism and violent crimes, discusses his transition into investigating paranormal cases. He states that while there wasn't a specific 'paranormal' division in the FBI, such cases frequently arose during general investigations, and he became a point person for them.
DeSouza recounts a childhood UFO experience in New York City at age ten, involving a disk-shaped UFO and a blue-green spotlight. He also mentions the 'Indigo Kids of 9/11' phenomenon, where children reportedly had premonitions of the 9/11 attacks.
He discusses his book 'The Para-Investigators', motivated by these cases, and how they affected his colleagues, leading to an 'awakening' and a realization that investigators must pursue clues regardless of how difficult they are to accept.
DeSouza touches upon the Rendlesham incident, suggesting that the government's immediate cover-up indicated a coordinated effort. He also details the case of Richard Jewell, arguing that Jewell knew the bomb was present due to remote viewing or a vision, not because he was the bomber, and that Jewell was tragically betrayed by the system he admired.
Regarding the nature of alien visitors, DeSouza references an FBI 'memo of importance' from July 8th, 1947, which suggests that 'alien visitors' are 'supernormal' or interdimensional beings coming for peaceful purposes, warning against attacking them.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO phenomena, paranormal experiences, consciousness, spirituality, and government disclosure. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, encouraging readers to explore these topics independently and critically. The publication aims to provide information on alternative perspectives and events within the UFO and paranormal communities, fostering a sense of community among those who have had unusual experiences.
This issue of Shadows Magazine, issue 03, features a prominent interview with investigator John DeSouza, focusing on his theories about extradimensional UFOs and the concept of 'Clear Hearers'. The magazine also presents a detailed historical account of the witch trials in Culross, Scotland, and reports on UFO sightings in Italy from 1947.
John DeSouza: Contact in the Desert
The interview with John DeSouza explores his views on UFOs and alien visitors. He posits that UFOs are not physical craft but are operated by extradimensional beings that exist on different levels of reality. These beings can manipulate time and space, making it appear as though they are physical. DeSouza believes that many abduction experiences are perceived as physical but are actually a translation of the individual to another level of reality. He also discusses his book 'Clear Hearers', defining a 'clear hearer' as someone who perceives a voice of authority that guides and protects them, a phenomenon he distinguishes from mental conditions. He recounts investigations involving portals and sightings of various paranormal phenomena, suggesting a greater complexity to these events than commonly understood.
Para-Investigations: Clear Hearers
This section elaborates on DeSouza's book 'Clear Hearers'. He explains that the term 'clear hearer' originates from 14th Century France and translates to 'clair-audience'. He describes it as a voice of authority that seeks the person's benefit and safety, citing historical figures like Joan of Arc, Socrates, and Philip K. Dick as examples. DeSouza emphasizes that clear hearing is a powerful ability, not a mental condition. He addresses skepticism by stating that some truths are experiential and cannot be proven otherwise. He suggests that the 'voice' is a higher, extradimensional version of the individual, existing outside of time and space, and that these entities have difficulty remembering their human form, hence communicating in short phrases.
The Culross Witch Haters
This extensive article by Leonard Low details the history of witchcraft accusations and trials in the small Scottish village of Culross, Fife. It begins by describing Culross as a typical old sea town with traditional houses and an Abbey. The article highlights the town's historical economic activities, including salt pan houses and coal mining, and the devastating storm in 1625 that led to the collapse of the mine and subsequent economic decline. Amidst the despair and hardships, accusations of witchcraft emerged.
The Tollbooth, originally built in 1625, served as a jail for accused witches. The article lists numerous cases from the 17th century:
- 1621: Cristiane Couper is the first person tried as a witch for using charms.
- 1624: Jonnet Umphra confesses to meeting with the Devil.
- 1634: Four women are caught and suspected, with no outcome noted.
- 1636: Margaret Fields arrested, no outcome noted.
- 1641: William Drysdale accused and suffered public repentance; Katherine Mitchell found guilty and executed.
- 1643: Many women incarcerated in the church steeple jail; John Waster fined for being a soothsayer; Marion Thompson accused; Margaret Hutton suspected and fled to Stirling.
- 1644: Beatrix Bruce names three others after torture; Mary Cunningham and her daughter arrested and subjected to cruel treatment.
- 1648: Margaret Holden arrested, fate not recorded.
- 1656: Elizabeth Craiche apprehended but Edinburgh Parliament refused a commission, leading to her banishment.
- 1662: Elizabeth Craiche rearrested, confessed under torture, and was burnt along with others.
- 1665: Some witches recorded as burnt in Culross.
- 1675: Three widows and another woman accused, confessed to carnal copulation with the Devil, and were burnt, with the cost covered by the sale of their property.
- 1684: Helen Elliot's cruel treatment is highlighted, with a story of her escape from execution involving the Devil.
The article notes that the accused often confessed under torture, and the legal processes were harsh. It also mentions that Leonard Low is a witch trial historian with extensive knowledge and artifacts from the period.
UFOs Over Europe: Italian Encounters
This section features new books from Flying Disk Press that reveal eyewitness accounts of UFOs from mainland Europe. The first case is from Italy, occurring fifty days after the Kenneth Arnold sighting.
The Raveo (Vila Santina) CE3 Case
Originally published in Italian UFO magazine Clypeus and translated by Gordon Creighton, this account is from a Milanese painter and writer. The author's science fiction books explored the exodus of advanced human-like inhabitants from a fifth planet before its explosion, their mating with Neanderthals, and the creation of Homo Sapiens. The article questions whether Professor Luigi Rapuzzi's (L.R. Johannis) account is a real experience or inspiration for his fiction.
Professor L.R. Johannis recounts an encounter on August 14, 1947, near Raveo, Carnia. While searching for fossils, he observed a large, vivid red, lenticular object embedded in a mountainside. Upon closer inspection, he described it as a disc, seemingly of varnished metal, with a low central cupola and a telescopic antenna. He noted it was about ten metres wide and embedded about a quarter of its length into the rock. He then saw two dwarf-like beings approaching him. These beings were about 90cm tall, wearing translucent dark blue overalls with red collars and belts. They had large heads and green faces with slit-like mouths and enormous, protruding eyes. Johannis felt paralyzed and fearful. The beings retrieved his pick, and he observed their unusual 'hands' with eight opposable fingers. They then entered the disc, which rose vertically into the air, causing a cascade of stones and earth. The object then tipped, grew smaller, and vanished, followed by a blast of wind that knocked Johannis down. He later found his thermos flask shattered and his aluminum can missing, but his pick was gone.
"A Ball of Fire"
This section includes a letter from Mrs. Mirella Emery, written in 1966, to the editor of Flying Saucer Review, describing an event from August 12, 1947, in Caporiacco, Italy. While returning home from the cinema, she and her mother witnessed a vivid yellowish-orange light, described as a ball of fire, shoot over their heads at terrific speed towards the mountains. The sight was accompanied by no sound. Emery questions if this experience is connected to Professor Johannis's sighting.
Letter from Professor R.L. Johannis
A letter from Professor R.L. Johannis to Gianni Settimo, editor of CLYPEUS Magazine, dated March 20, 1964, provides further context to his encounter. Johannis sends two China-ink sketches to illustrate his meeting with a 'saucer' and its 'pilots' in 1947. He admits that his memory of the exact appearance of the beings has faded over time, particularly the shape of their eyes. He clarifies that the sketches are rough and general, and he now believes the pilots were likely 'robots' rather than extraterrestrial beings, a change from his initial conviction. He emphasizes that his account should be taken at face value without gratuitous suppositions.
Author Bio: Robert Pinotti

He has collaborated with Italian intelligence on UFO phenomenon studies and is the editor of the Centro Ufologico Nazionale magazine.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the unexplained, historical mysteries, and alternative perspectives. There is a clear interest in UFO phenomena, particularly those with potential extradimensional aspects, as highlighted by the John DeSouza interview. The detailed examination of the Culross witch trials suggests a focus on historical accounts of persecution and societal hysteria, often linked to unexplained or misunderstood events. The inclusion of UFO reports from Europe, specifically Italy, broadens the scope of the magazine's coverage beyond typical US-centric narratives. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting evidence and personal accounts while acknowledging the need for critical analysis and distinguishing between direct experience and speculative interpretation. The magazine aims to provide readers with in-depth explorations of these intriguing subjects.
