Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the critical examination of claims within the alternative and ufology communities, with a particular focus on identifying and exposing hoaxes and deceptive practices. The magazine champions a rational and evidence-based approach, as exemplified by the "Joe From The Carolinas" feature. There is a strong emphasis on investigative journalism, with features like David Paulides' "Missing 411" and the exploration of UFO sightings and paranormal events. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards unsubstantiated claims while remaining open to genuine unexplained phenomena and historical mysteries. The magazine also highlights significant archaeological finds and scientific developments that intersect with these themes.

This issue of Shadows Magazine, titled "MISSING 411", delves into the mysterious cases documented by researcher David Paulides, focusing on unexplained disappearances. The cover prominently features the "MISSING 411" branding and a quote from Paulides stating, "I JUST REPORT FACTS, I'M NOT SOMEBODY WHO HAS ANY HYPOTHESES OR OUTLANDISH THEORIES." The issue explores common patterns and characteristics observed in these cases, alongside a "Top 10" list of popular hoaxes and conspiracy theories.

Missing 411: Profile Points and Case Discussions

The magazine highlights key aspects David Paulides looks for when researching cases, including disappearances near large bodies of water or boulder fields, rarely determined causes of death, individuals found in difficult-to-reach areas, and children found at impossible distances or elevations. Other recurring points include missing shoes (but clean feet or socks), tracker dogs inexplicably losing scent, and people being found in areas already searched multiple times.

An interview with Paulides (referred to as DP) and SOYM discusses the phenomenon of adverse and unseasonable weather conditions often hampering searches, raising questions about potential higher intelligence manipulating weather. The sheer distances children are found at, often impossible for their age, is also a significant point of discussion. Paulides emphasizes that he reports facts and does not create theories.

• Several specific cases are mentioned:
• Michael Dixon: An 11-year-old who disappeared and reappeared under strange circumstances.
• Constantinos 'Danny' Filippidis: A Toronto fireman who disappeared during a skiing trip and reappeared with a new phone, cash, and haircut, claiming to have slept in a truck after a head injury. This case is compared to Michael Dixon's.
• James Emery: An experienced woodsman who disappeared in Oregon in 1930, despite extensive searches and bad weather. Bloodhounds couldn't track him, and his case remains unexplained.
• John Marshall: Found floating face-up in water with his mp3 player in his pocket dry. Despite police investigations and evidence of minor injuries, the circumstances of his disappearance and how he ended up in the river remain unclear.

The discussion also touches upon the prevalence of Germanic ancestry among some missing persons, a pattern Paulides noticed after analyzing hundreds of cases. The rarity of multiple group disappearances is noted, with most cases involving a single individual.

Regarding search and rescue, Paulides expresses skepticism about dogs suddenly losing scent, stating that dogs are trained to search and never simply give up. He suggests that missing people might not have been in the searched areas when the teams were present. The issue of positive outcomes (finding people alive) is addressed, with Paulides stating it's a very small percentage.

GHB and Other Factors

High levels of GHB (gammahydroxybutyrate) have been found in the systems of some individuals who were later found. GHB is not a standard substance tested for by coroners, and its presence, especially in large quantities, is unusual. Paulides speculates on how such levels could be present, suggesting the body might produce it internally under certain circumstances. He notes that GHB can cause paralysis, making individuals aware but unable to act, which aligns with some disappearance scenarios.

How to Stay Safe

The magazine includes safety tips for hikers, emphasizing walking in pairs, staying in contact, carrying a whistle and cell phone, informing others of plans, and considering a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB).

Top 10 Popular Hoaxes of the Age

This section presents a list of well-known hoaxes and questionable phenomena:

1. The 'Khufu' Cartouche (Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt): Author Scott Creighton argues that the cartouche supposedly proving Khufu built the Great Pyramid is a fabrication by explorer Colonel Richard William Howard Vyse, based on inconsistencies in Vyse's own field notes and later research.
2. The Nazca Mummies (Nazca, Peru): Gaia TV reported on long-skulled mummies, including one named 'Maria', claimed to be extraterrestrial. While 'Maria' showed unusual characteristics, smaller mummies were identified as hoaxes made from animal and fish bones. DNA tests on 'Maria' suggested she was unusual but possibly human.
3. Roswell Alien Autopsy (unknown film studio, UK): Film producer Ray Santilli claimed to have footage of an alien autopsy from the 1947 Roswell incident. This was later confirmed as a hoax by filmmaker Spyros Melaris, who recreated the footage using a model.
4. The Area 51 Caller (Coast To Coast AM radio, USA): A caller to Art Bell's show in 1997 claimed to be an ex-Area 51 employee warning of alien influence. A second caller later claimed it was a prank, though the unusual circumstances of the original broadcast (station losing satellite link) leave some questions.
5. Rick Dyer: Bigfoot Hunter (Various locations, USA): Former car salesman Rick Dyer has been involved in two major hoaxes involving 'Bigfoot' evidence: a frozen corpse (a rubber suit) and a supposed kill. He admitted to the first being a hoax and later claimed the second was also a joke, allegedly to raise money for charity.
6. The Cottingley Fairies (Yorkshire, England): Two cousins, Frances Griffith and Elsie Wright, produced photographs of fairies that convinced Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Decades later, they confessed the images were cut-outs from a book.
7. Alternative 3 (BBC Broadcast, UK): A 1977 'documentary' about a secret plan to establish a civilization on Mars. It's suggested this might have been a double bluff to distract from a real secret space program.
8. King Tut's Curse (Valley Of The Kings, Egypt): The death of the expedition's financial backer shortly after the tomb's discovery fueled myths of a curse. It's suggested the curse was exaggerated by Howard Carter to protect the tomb.
9. The Silpho Saucer (Yorkshire, England): Three men reported a UFO and recovered a small 'flying saucer' with hieroglyphics. This was later revealed to be a hoax.
10. The Surgeon's Photo (Loch Ness, Scotland): The iconic photo of the Loch Ness Monster was exposed as a hoax created by Dr. Robert Wilson and Marmaduke Wetherell using a toy submarine.

Honourable Mentions

The magazine also briefly lists honourable mentions for hoaxes or questionable phenomena: Derren Brown's séance, the Ica Stones (Peru), the Roswell Slides, Orson Welles' 'War of the Worlds' broadcast, and Stan Romanek's alien abduction videos.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are unexplained disappearances, particularly those covered by the "Missing 411" series, and the prevalence of hoaxes and conspiracy theories in popular culture. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, presenting factual accounts of disappearances while also dissecting and exposing fraudulent claims and elaborate hoaxes. The magazine aims to inform readers about both genuine mysteries and the ways in which people have been deceived or have sought to deceive others, often for financial or reputational gain. There's a clear distinction made between Paulides' factual reporting on missing persons and the more sensationalist or fabricated accounts presented in the "Top 10" list.

This issue of Shadows Magazine, dated October 2018 (issue 04), features content related to the "PORTAL TO ASCENSION CONFERENCE" held from October 5th to 7th, 2018, in Irvine, CA. The conference's themes include Extraterrestrial Awareness, Disclosure, True World History, and Consciousness. The cover highlights numerous speakers, including Grant Cameron, Jason Quitt, Robert Schoch, Billy Carson, Alan Steinfeld, Tricia Mccannon, Paola Harris, John Desouza, Jordan Sather, Rey Hernandez, Teresa Yanaros, Erica Lukes, Justin Deschamps, Meg Benedict, Robert Perala, Joan of Angels, Dr Dream, and Chireya Fox. The magazine also includes an interview with Marie Kayali and an interview with UFO researcher Philip Mantle.

Interview: Marie Kayali

Marie Kayali shares her lifelong experiences with alleged alien contact, implants, and her involvement with the UK UFO community. She recounts seeing beings emerge from walls as a child in Ireland, which her mother dismissed. A significant event occurred when she was around 18, involving a poltergeist-like phenomenon at her boyfriend's house, characterized by shaking, rattling, and smashed glass, particularly mirrors. Her boyfriend claimed to have seen aliens opening his stomach.

Marie also details an incident in London where she experienced missing time after spilling wine, later discovering a small slice had been taken from her leg. She describes encounters with ethereal beings and balls of light, and recounts being taken on a craft where she could see people on the ground in Canada through a 360° window. She mentions having multiple implants, one of which functions as a database containing personal information.

Kayali discusses the negative experiences she has had within the UK UFO community, including an online hate campaign and accusations of mental illness. She also touches upon the loss of her daughter, Gina, under suspicious circumstances.

Her experiences in Sri Lanka involved a dinner party where friends experienced missing time, with one friend reporting being grabbed by an ET.

Interview: Philip Mantle

Philip Mantle, a UFO researcher, writer, and publisher, discusses his involvement in the field, which began after returning to the UK from Germany and attending a Yorkshire UFO Society meeting. He co-organized conferences and was involved with UFO Magazine (UK), which achieved significant sales. He also served as press officer and Director of Investigations for BUFORA.

Mantle is critical of the Roswell autopsy film, stating it is a hoax, despite some people's continued belief in its authenticity. He recounts how he was approached by Ray Santilli, who promoted the film, and eventually concluded it was faked, with Spiros Malaris identified as the mastermind behind the hoax.

He authored "Without Consent," a book focusing on UK abduction cases, which originated from a canceled TV documentary. Mantle emphasizes the importance of interviewing witnesses directly and highlights that abductees are often ordinary people going about their daily lives, baffled by their experiences.

He shares his observations on regressive hypnosis, noting that it did not always yield new information and that he advises individuals to seek professional therapists rather than relying solely on UFO researchers.

Mantle also discusses the Pascagoula, Mississippi incident, mentioning an upcoming book by abductee Calvin Parker.

Aveley Incident

The Aveley Incident, occurring on October 27, 1974, involved a family in Essex, England, who encountered a 'green mist' and a white beam that lifted their car. The driver, John Day, recalled being examined by beings with large eyes and communicated with one who stated they had bases on Earth. The family lost three hours of time.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly focuses on UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, and disclosure, as evidenced by the conference theme and the featured interviews. There is a clear interest in uncovering what the magazine terms "true world history" and exploring consciousness. The magazine also delves into the more controversial aspects of the UFO community, including allegations of hoaxes, misinformation, and online harassment. The editorial stance appears to be one of seeking truth and exposing what they perceive as hidden information, while also acknowledging and investigating alleged deceptions within the field. The inclusion of the "Showguide" section suggests an aim to inform readers about other platforms and resources related to these topics.

Title: SHADOWS OF YOUR MIND
Issue: 04
Date: Not explicitly stated, but context suggests 2018.
Publisher: Shadows Of Your Mind magazine
Country: UK
Language: English

This issue of Shadows Of Your Mind magazine delves into various aspects of ufology, paranormal phenomena, and related events, featuring articles on personal encounters, historical incidents, and upcoming conferences.

Article: Calvin Screaming Under Hypnosis

This section details the process of creating a new book about Calvin Parker, who was involved in a notable UFO incident. The author, Philip, explains that Calvin was initially hesitant to discuss his experiences and kept a low profile. The book aims to include an interview with Calvin, but Philip found that a simple interview wouldn't suffice. Calvin shared details he had never revealed before, prompting Philip to seek out lost documentation. He contacted Dr. Allen Hynek's Centre For UFO Studies and NICAP for files. A significant part of the new book will include a full transcription of a hypnotic regression session conducted by Budd Hopkins on Calvin in 1993. Philip managed to obtain a tape of this session, which lasted about an hour and a half. He describes parts of the recording where Calvin was screaming, finding it disturbing. The book is slated for publication in September. Philip also expresses skepticism about the term 'disclosure,' viewing it as a cyclical rumor and not something he expects to happen in his lifetime, despite acknowledging the sincerity of those involved in the movement.

Article: The Day President Eisenhower Met with Extraterrestrials at Holloman Air Force Base

This interview with Clark McClelland, a former NASA aerospace engineer, recounts a story told by Dr. Ernst Steinhoff, a Senior Scientist at Holloman A.F.B. in New Mexico. Dr. Steinhoff, a German scientist brought to the US via Operation Paperclip, described an event in 1955. He claimed that President Dwight D. Eisenhower made a surprise visit to Holloman AFB. Dr. Steinhoff, along with other base workers, observed Eisenhower disembark from his plane and walk towards a large, saucer-shaped craft that had landed on the runway. A ramp opened, and Eisenhower entered the craft, disappearing inside for approximately 40-50 minutes. No humanoid figures emerged to greet him. Dr. Steinhoff speculated whether the craft was alien or an advanced human creation, possibly German. He recalled that German scientists, who had escaped to Antarctica at the end of WWII, created advanced anti-gravity craft. He also mentioned that the craft made a soft humming sound, indicative of anti-gravity technology. Dr. Steinhoff did not personally meet Eisenhower but watched his plane depart.

Article: Hunt for the Skinwalker

This piece introduces Jeremy Corbell and his new film, 'Hunt For The Skinwalker,' which focuses on the infamous Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. The ranch gained public attention in 2005 with the release of George Knapp and Dr. Colm Kelleher's book of the same name. The book details the unsettling experiences of the 'Gorman' family, who bought the ranch and encountered phenomena such as a large grey wolf, lights in the sky, and poltergeist activity. The article mentions that after the Gormans, Robert Bigelow purchased the property, and scientific studies were conducted there. Corbell is described as energetic and motivated by the success of his previous film, 'Patient Seventeen.' The article encourages readers to seek out the book for a full understanding of the events at the ranch.

Event Review: Awakening Event Review

This section reviews the 'Awakening' UFO conference held in the UK, noting it as potentially the biggest UFO conference in the UK, if not Europe. The author, along with a friend, attended the event in Salford. They were looking forward to speakers like Mike Bara, Nick Pope, Erich von Danïken, and David Icke. Due to travel issues, they missed a Q&A with Nick Pope and most of Erich von Danïken's talk. Travis Walton was scheduled to speak but was ill, and Paola Harris spoke in his place about Colonel Philip J. Corso. Speakers included Mike Bara discussing Cydonia and NASA, and David Icke presenting on illusion and consciousness. The event also featured Barry Fitzgerald on Neolithic Ireland, Steve Mera, and Kevin Moore. The review mentions vendors selling crystals, tarot decks, and other items. The article concludes by expressing anticipation for next year's event and encouraging readers to sign up at awakeningufo.com. A competition to win a signed Travis Walton DVD is also announced.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial encounters, and related mysteries. There's a focus on personal testimonies, investigative efforts, and the historical context of sightings and alleged cover-ups. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and inquisitive, presenting various perspectives and events within the UFO community. The magazine also actively promotes UFO-related conferences and events, encouraging reader participation and engagement. There's a recurring theme of seeking truth and understanding unexplained phenomena, often bridging the gap between historical accounts and future possibilities.

This issue of Shadows Magazine features an in-depth look at the documentary "Hunt for the Skinwalker" by Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell. The magazine explores the mysterious phenomena associated with Skinwalker Ranch, drawing on interviews with key figures involved in its investigation.

The Skinwalker Phenomenon and the Ranch

The article begins by introducing Tom Gorman, the previous owner of the Ranch, who stayed on for years with the NIDS team to help hunt the phenomenon. He described an unknown, tall, shadowy physical entity, distinct from typical UFOs. Gorman recounted an incident where he was stalking the entity at night, and after cracking a branch, a glowing orb or intelligence noticed him and performed an evasive maneuver.

The property is located on Ute tribe land in the Uintah Basin, requiring special authorization for filming. Jeremy Corbell expresses gratitude for the unprecedented access granted by the Ute Nation, allowing them to visit historic areas like Dark Canyon, believed to be the 'Lair of the Skinwalker,' and travel along Skinwalker Ridge. This ridge is described as the direct path of the Skinwalker and runs through the edge of Skinwalker Ranch.

Corbell emphasizes the good relationship with the Ute Nation, which has allowed them to camp and film on tribal lands, something previously ungranted. He recounts an experience with a tribal member and security where a palpable feeling of something all around them emerged, causing one security member to become visibly frightened.

Jeremy Corbell's Investigation and the Documentary

Corbell has spent two years documenting the story of the Ranch, hoping to capture evidence of the phenomenon. The current owner, who purchased the property from Robert Bigelow in 2016, has continued the study. Bigelow owned the Ranch from 1996, during which time the Defense Intelligence Agency, through BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies), conducted investigations. The property was sold in 2016 after 20 years of ownership.

Corbell explains that the "Hunt for the Skinwalker" film was made possible by George Knapp's extensive archive of footage. The film aims to shed light on Knapp's book and includes new surprises, such as the new owner appearing on camera (with face and voice distorted for confidentiality). Corbell notes renewed interest from other agencies in the phenomenon.

He describes the entity as a pre-cognitive, sentient intelligence that can make mistakes. Corbell also shares an anecdote about a military individual who, while working in the Command and Control Centre at NIDS, saw a tall, dark, six-foot-something shadow person that appeared to be a physical, tangible smoky thing, which then evaporated. This individual, a stoic and highly trained military observer, had never seen anything like it.

Corbell expresses that while he hasn't personally had a close encounter, he has seen bright lights at the second homestead with no artificial light sources nearby. He jokes that people are afraid of ghosts and that carrying a cell phone is like kryptonite to the paranormal, as no ghost likes being on camera.

He discusses how the phenomenon seems to be selective, showing specific things to certain people and excluding others. The DIA's serious consideration of the phenomenon stemmed from direct displays. Corbell theorizes that the entity might be a provocateur, targeting security or military personnel because they are the strongest members, matching their intent. The phenomenon seems to create performances triggered by digging, strangers, or noise, and plays a game of cat and mouse.

Corbell clarifies that his visits to the Ranch are for experiencing and engaging the phenomenon, not just capturing it on camera. He mentions that pop music superstar Robbie Williams has also been curious about the paranormal and UFOs and has visited the Ranch. Williams's involvement is highlighted, with a tweet from December 2017 showing his interest.

Corbell discusses the NIDS and BAASS studies, noting their fascinatingly playful experiments, such as using 'jacks' (the toy) in a controlled environment to see if they would be moved. They attempted to establish communication through puzzles and games.

George Knapp's Perspective

George Knapp, instrumental in bringing the Ranch's story to the public, discusses the evolution of his understanding of the phenomenon. He notes that security around the Ranch has increased significantly since 1996, impacting the level and types of unexplained activity. He believes the Ranch is interactive and responds to outside stimuli.

Knapp explains that his initial understanding was influenced by the dominant paradigm of UFOs as nuts-and-bolts craft piloted by ETs. However, his involvement with the Ranch and exposure to thinkers like Jacques Vallee led him to believe the phenomenon was more complex and perhaps not extraterrestrial in origin. He suggests that the bizarre events on the periphery of UFO experiences might be the core of the matter, with UFOs serving as a distraction.

He recounts being allowed to be a 'fly on the wall' during discussions with brilliant minds like Colm Kelleher, Jacques Vallee, Hal Puthoff, and Kit Green, who were dedicated to understanding esoteric matters. This experience provided him with a unique vantage point in the larger UFO context.

Knapp states that the NIDS investigation of the Ranch changed his view of reality, suggesting that an intelligence lives here, not as an intruder, but as an inherent part of the world. He believes that while the Utah Ranch is unique in its concentration of activity, similar phenomena occur elsewhere.

Regarding public scrutiny, Knapp mentions that NIDS material is largely public, and the "Skinwalker" book covers major events between 1996 and 2003. He acknowledges that there are smaller incidents not included in the book and events that have occurred since 2005. He notes that NIDS recorded extensive video footage, but most of it is not compelling, showing orbs and lights without clear reference points. He highlights evidence like compasses spinning out of control and batteries dying as indicators of physical events.

The Documentary's Scope and Impact

The documentary "Hunt for the Skinwalker" has a running time of approximately two hours and seven minutes, edited down from over three and a half hours. Corbell emphasizes that the film clarifies the agencies and funding involved and relates recent UFO revelations by the Pentagon, aiming to educate the public about what Skinwalker Ranch represents. He describes it as a 'game changer.'

The film covers a wide range of phenomena, including UFOs, orbs, animal mutilations, poltergeist activity, and close encounters of the third kind, with people engaging entities. Corbell promises more to come that will set the record straight about the Ranch's events, offering never-before-seen footage from the time of the active investigation, thanks to George Knapp's archive.

Skinwalker: Caught by the Fuzz

This section details an unsettling incident involving Jeremy Corbell and a tribal police officer. The officer warned Corbell about the Skinwalker, explaining that invoking its name can invite trouble. He showed Corbell a video on his cell phone of a large UFO hovering over a house, describing it as one of the greatest UFO videos he had ever seen. The officer also shared a personal experience of encountering a large, wolf-like, bipedal entity in the road, which then followed him and took the work of a shaman to overcome. He stressed the danger of hunting this intelligence, warning that it could become the hunter.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on the Skinwalker phenomenon and its connection to Skinwalker Ranch, presenting it as a complex, interactive intelligence rather than a simple extraterrestrial craft. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and documentation, highlighting the efforts of researchers like George Knapp and filmmakers like Jeremy Corbell. There is an emphasis on the need for caution and respect when dealing with such phenomena, as evidenced by the warnings from the tribal police officer. The involvement of celebrities like Robbie Williams adds a layer of popular interest to the subject matter. The magazine promotes the documentary "Hunt for the Skinwalker" as a significant release that aims to reveal previously hidden information about the Ranch's investigations.

This issue of Shadows Magazine, identified as Issue 04, focuses on a variety of paranormal and cryptid phenomena, with a prominent cover story titled "HUNT FOR THE SKINWALKER." The magazine features articles on UFOs, the Mandela Effect, and winged creatures, along with book reviews and a column on paranormal topics.

Hunt for the Skinwalker

The lead article, "HUNT FOR THE SKINWALKER," by George Knapp and Colm Kelleher, delves into the mysterious phenomena associated with the Skinwalker Ranch. The authors discuss the BAASS study and Bob Bigelow's involvement, as well as their own investigation. They recount how they were initially shut out by tribal governments when researching skinwalkers, but eventually pieced together the general story of these evil shapeshifters. The article touches on the Ute oral traditions, which refer to a specific ridge as "Skinwalker Ridge," and how this legend became an umbrella explanation for strange events in the area since the 1860s. The authors also mention Jeremy Corbell's documentary, which brought key events to life. They note that while the area is remote, "paranormal tourism" is already present, and the new owner has implemented security measures. The Ute tribe's perspective is also explored, suggesting that the Ranch might be a place where ancestor spirits enter, or a gateway for aliens or interdimensional beings. The book "Hunt For The Skinwalker" is available from most retailers.

The Mandela Effect - Part 2

Doug McKay's column, "WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT... #2 The Mandela Effect - part 2," continues his investigation into the phenomenon. He expresses frustration with people who insist their memories are perfect, blaming the world for being 'out of kilter.' McKay shares a personal anecdote about misremembering a colleague's engagement ring, attributing it to a brief, out-of-context conversation while slightly inebriated. He analyzes the phenomenon by looking at common examples, such as the misremembered lyrics of Queen's "We Are The Champions" and the branding of KitKat, noting that a 1940s advertisement for KitKat did not have a hyphen. The article also discusses the "Sinbad as Shazam" misconception, clarifying that the movie was actually "Kazam!" starring Shaquille O'Neal. McKay criticizes the misattribution of these memory errors to "Nelson Mandella (sic)," emphasizing that the fault lies with faulty or distracted hearing and memory, not a sinister alteration of reality. He also debunks common misquoted movie lines, including "Forrest Gump," "Apollo 13," "Field Of Dreams," "Silence of The Lambs," and "Jaws," explaining the actual dialogue and context.

Weird Winged Creatures

This section features several articles exploring the concept of winged beings across different cultures and historical periods.

Mothman and Recent Sightings

Sean Casteel's article, "WE NEED TO SPREAD OUR WINGS," discusses the historical belief in winged beings and introduces the Mothman, popularized by the 2002 movie "The Mothman Prophecies." The article recounts the initial sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966-67, and the subsequent collapse of the Silver Bridge, leading to speculation that the Mothman was a harbinger of death. It also details a new wave of Mothman sightings in Chicago that began in March 2017, with researcher Lon Strickler collecting numerous reports. Strickler notes that witnesses consistently report a feeling of dread and foreboding, interpreting it as a potential warning.

Winged Dragons and Ancient Beliefs

Another article by Sean Casteel, "WINGED CREATURES," examines the historical beliefs surrounding winged beasts. It summarizes the general characteristics attributed to them, such as being agents of "dark gods," existing alongside humans, and potentially arriving from other dimensions. Native American traditions are highlighted, with some believing the Thunderbird was the creator of life. In contrast, Biblical and European views often portray dragons as evil. The article references Timothy Green Beckley's book "Weird Winged Wonders: The Twilight World of Cryptid Creatures," which compiles various accounts and case histories of winged phenomena. It discusses the Hebrew word 'tanniym' or 'tannim' used in the Old Testament to refer to dragons, serpents, or sea monsters. The article also explores the idea that flying serpents or dragons are often considered benevolent in cultures worldwide, with the European view of dragons as evil being unique. It mentions the positive interpretation of the serpent in Eden as a winged dragon in the "Apocalypse of Abraham."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained, the paranormal, and the intersection of folklore, mythology, and alleged real-world phenomena. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded but critical stance, presenting various theories and accounts while also offering skeptical analysis, particularly in the "Mandela Effect" section. The editorial stance seems to be one of exploring the fringes of human understanding and challenging conventional explanations for unusual events and beliefs. There is a clear interest in cryptids, UFOs, and historical mysteries, presented with a blend of investigative journalism and speculative exploration.

This issue of SHADOWS OF YOUR MIND focuses on the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) over Poland, with a particular emphasis on sightings of 'flying triangles' and 'boomerangs'. The magazine explores various reports, witness testimonies, and potential explanations, while also featuring an interview with a prominent YouTube personality who offers a critical perspective on the field of ufology.

UFOs Over Poland: Flying Triangles and Boomerangs

The main section of the magazine delves into a wave of UFO sightings in Poland, which reportedly peaked in 2013. These encounters often involved large, silent crafts observed at close range, particularly over populated areas and near military installations. Some researchers have linked these sightings to secret NATO or American military activity, while others argue the objects are too advanced to be of terrestrial origin and pose a danger due to their reckless flying patterns.

The article details several specific incidents:

• May 16th, 1980: A glider pilot in the Działoszyn area (łódzkie) described a dark-grey, triangle-shaped object as 'thin as a sheet of paper'.
• October 31st, 2008: Mr. Piotr G., an architect from Sandomierz (małopolskie), witnessed a boomerang-shaped craft flying silently towards the north-east. He described it as an 'artifact' with a 'waving, muddy water' appearance and a red-white mist.
• September 16th, 2010: A typical flying triangle was observed in the Wikłów area (śląskie) between Częstochowa and Radomsko. The witness described its shape, continuous lights in the corners, and a hull structure that was not flat but covered with protuberances.
• April 2011: In Poznań (wielkopolskie), a witness captured a blur photo of a dark-grey triangle and noted that F-16 jets appeared shortly after the object disappeared.
• August 20th, 2011: A rare daylight sighting in Hrubieszów (lubelskie) described a silvery object hovering silently and rotating, estimated to be over 15 meters long.
• April-May 2013: A couple in Biała (dolnośląskie) saw lights forming a triangular shape attached to a solid object.
• August 3rd, 2013: Multiple spectacular events occurred, including sightings of triangular objects in Dobrzykowice (dolnośląskie) and Łosice (mazowieckie), and an encounter with a camouflaged boomerang over Lubliniec (śląskie). Witnesses described these objects as dark solid masses obscuring stars, with spans estimated at around 20 meters.
• October 13th: Mateusz O. in Pabianice (łódzkie) observed unidentified lights resembling a boomerang or glider of enormous size moving at fast pace.

Other cases mentioned include a 'futuristic craft' in Baborów (opolskie) and a large triangular craft seen in Sokółka (podlaskie).

The Question of Responsibility and Official Reaction

The article raises the question of who is responsible for these 'risky, nighttime flybys'. It contrasts the situation in Poland with the 'Belgian flap' of 1989-90, noting the lack of media coverage and public attention in Poland. Ufologists and witnesses tend to avoid mainstream media, fearing sensationalism. The issue of transparency and public dialogue within the Polish military is highlighted as non-existent.

American Aircraft or Something Else?

The possibility of advanced American aircraft, such as drones like Taranis, nEUROn, or X-47, is discussed as a potential explanation for some sightings, especially given the proximity of military bases to many sighting locations and the US Army's presence in Łask since 2012. However, the article points out that the 'exotic camouflage, noiselessness, or reckless cruising' aspects of some sightings are not easily explained by conventional military technology. The behavior of these craft, appearing in populated areas and often remaining visible despite camouflage, is also noted as peculiar.

The Lost Art of Rational Thinking: Interview with Joe From The Carolinas

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an interview with Joe From The Carolinas, a YouTuber known for his rational and common-sense approach to ufology. Joe explains that he initially started his YouTube channel with organic gardening and farming tips but switched to ufology in 2013 after becoming disillusioned with the prevailing narratives. He emphasizes his interest in evidence-based research and his skepticism towards claims that lack substantiation.

Joe discusses his background in punk rock and how that ethos influences his approach to ufology, advocating for a respectful yet critical stance against what he calls 'ridiculous bizarre fantasy land'. He believes that technology has advanced to a point where stories alone are no longer sufficient; evidence, data, and DNA analysis are now expected.

He expresses concern about the potential for censorship through keyword tracking on platforms like YouTube and hopes that by increasing the volume of information shared, it will become harder to stifle discussion.

Joe is critical of certain figures and narratives within the UFO community, particularly those that he feels are financially motivated or promote a cult-like following. He uses the example of Corey Goode, whose claims about 'Blue Avians' and paid information access he finds suspicious, questioning why advanced extraterrestrial species would rely on such individuals for disclosure.

He highlights the importance of figures like Stanton Friedman and Timothy Good from his youth, and more recently, Richard Dolan and Linda Moulton Howe, for their contributions to the field. Joe also touches upon the flat earth theory, expressing skepticism due to the lack of concrete evidence and the potential for it to be a distraction from more significant implications.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a rational and evidence-based approach to the UFO phenomenon. It encourages critical thinking and skepticism towards unsubstantiated claims, while acknowledging the genuine mystery and complexity of UFO sightings. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, seeking logical explanations but not shying away from the possibility of phenomena that defy current understanding. The issue highlights the need for more rigorous research and a balanced perspective, free from sensationalism and financial agendas, to properly understand the global nature of the UFO phenomenon.

This issue of AB(PARA)NORMAL, issue 04, focuses on the controversial resignation of David Wilcock from GaiaTV and his subsequent accusations against the network. The magazine also features promotional content for the UFO documentary 'Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton.' The primary author, identified only as 'Joe,' provides a critical analysis of Wilcock's actions and statements.

David Wilcock's Resignation and Accusations

The article details David Wilcock's resignation letter, dated June 29th, which began circulating on social media around July 1, 2018. Wilcock, who had been a prominent figure on GaiaTV, particularly for his program 'Cosmic Disclosure,' made several serious allegations against the network. These included claims of truth suppression, a preference for entertainment over factual disclosure, and the imposition of a 'bizarre Luciferian agenda' on shows like 'Ancient Civilizations.' He also stated that he felt forced to engage in fundraisers for alleged 'Secret Space Program' insiders, such as Corey Goode and Emery Smith, and that Emery Smith's life was at risk due to his involvement.

Wilcock's letter also mentioned a 'legal threat with Corey still hangs over my head,' suggesting ongoing conflicts.

Critical Analysis by 'Joe'

The author, 'Joe,' expresses significant skepticism regarding Wilcock's claims. He refers to Wilcock's history of 'failed predictions, fantastic claims which are not backed by a shred of evidence, associations with insiders with dubious background, and a repeated pattern of self-serving 'intel drops.'' Joe coins the phrase 'David Wilcock Playbook' to describe a pattern where Wilcock disappears, then reappears with new material that positions him as a 'flawed hero under attack for revealing the truth,' a narrative he believes the public readily accepts.

Joe questions the legitimacy of the 'Ex-Gaia Employee Movement (GEM)' and speculates whether Wilcock's resignation might be part of a larger, viral re-branding campaign for Gaia, aimed at removing 'evil Luciferian influences' and presenting a more ethical image. He raises the possibility that the community might be witnessing a 'new age psychological operation in real-time.'

He calls for David Wilcock to address the community directly on his YouTube channel, without a script, to 'fess up' and disclose the 'full truth.' Joe states his intention to continue confronting Wilcock's statements with 'reason, logic, and common sense.'

Confirmation and Public Reaction

While David Wilcock had not verbally confirmed the resignation at the time of writing, Jimmy Church's Twitter account stated on July 6th, 'The letter is real. I cannot comment further.' Laura Eisenhower, a Gaia personality, also played a role in disseminating the letter by posting it on her Facebook account.
