Item 1: Troon, Scotland - ME and 'Aliens'

Linda Brown of Troon, Ayrshire, Scotland, heads a local support group called SEARCH ME for individuals suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). This group has been investigated by figures in electromagnetic pollution studies, such as Dr. C.W. Smith and Roger Coghill. High electromagnetic field (EMF) levels have been measured in and around Troon, attributed to a combination of local geological faults, a military base, and Prestwick Airport. Coghill has noted a correlation between EM hotspots and ME cases. The author's own investigations suggest that ME sufferers may not fully recover due to physiological stress from environmental fields. Linda Brown hesitantly revealed that local residents also experience "mental effects" and "aliens" (Close Encounters of the Third/Fourth Kind - CE3/4). The author posits that the CE3/4 experience is a warning from the body, via unconscious imagery, that its regulatory systems are threatened by EM pollution. SEARCH ME can be contacted at 0292-314070.

Item 2: Abductees and Electrical Events

The recent increase in television appearances by abductees provides an opportunity to present findings from investigations. Rosalind Reynolds from Essex, living beside an electrical substation, experienced a major electrical event (MEE) when ball lightning entered her room. Her back room, previously a recording studio, was abandoned due to static interference. Another MEE occurred in Sudbury, Suffolk, involving a ball of light near a pylon with blue electrical discharges. Her boyfriend, who was present, subsequently suffered mental breakdown. Rosalind suffers from photophobia and sinus issues, possibly allergic reactions. Rohan Hinton from Dulwich, London, lives near a powerful radio transmitting antenna. Maria Ward from Greenhithe, Kent, lives between high-tension cables and her house has been surveyed for EM fields. She affirmed all 25 questions from the book 'ALLERGIES AND ALIENS' and produced photographs of balls of light, possibly electroforms. Ken Phillips, an investigator for BUFORA, sent a questionnaire to witnesses, finding affirmative results. He noted a pattern where abductees like Linda Jones of Manchester were close to lightning strikes near their encounter locations. Tony Burfield, involved in the 'Quantock Horror' case in Somerset, experienced a major electrocution accident and lived near pylons where his encounter took place.

Item 3: Subjective Experiences and EM Fields

The Maureen Puddy case in Australia is cited as an example of a subjective CE3/4 experience where investigators were present but observed nothing. The author investigated a CE3 case involving "Ian" from Peckham, London. Ian reported seeing eight-foot tall humanoids of golden light emerge from a wall, who warned him about his health and forbade junk food, showing him a vision of a heart attack. They claimed to be from another galaxy and that he was chosen to represent them. Ian exhibits hypergraphia. The wall from which the entities emerged overlooked a garden with three RF antennae. A dosimetric field survey revealed a strong electrical field (106.50 watts per square metre) emitted by the wall, common in old houses with poorly insulated wiring. Ian also experiences a sense of presence and his light bulbs burn out quickly.

Item 4: Researcher Nicholas Reiter's Experiments

Nicholas Reiter in Gibsonburg, USA, conducted experiments placing magnetic field detectors in abductees' homes. His results, to be published in 'THE NEW UFOLOGIST', support the prediction that such fields trigger CE3/4 experiences. Reiter has also developed a magnetic response test using strong magnets, which produced unusual sensations in experiencers but not non-experiencers, supporting the concept of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EH).

Item 5: Radio Frequency Transmissions and 'Heiligen-schein'

Contrary to conventional belief, radio frequency transmissions are not invisible. A photograph of a mobile phone relay pylon revealed two beams, one aimed upwards towards a satellite and another towards a terrestrial location. This phenomenon, possibly related to 'heiligen-schein', makes atmospheric water droplets visible due to light refraction and diffraction in a magnetic field.

Item 6: Personal Experiences and Recognition

The author has received threatening phone calls warning him not to publish his findings. He shares a quote from Jacques Vallee, who expressed admiration for the author's approach in 'ALLERGIES AND ALIENS'. Encouraging messages are balanced by insulting letters, but the author finds that fellow investigators who have conducted their own research recognize and support his work. He notes that 'armchair snipers' often misunderstand his approach.

Item 7: Upcoming Books and New Concepts

A new book by Cassell/Blandford, 'UFOs-PSYCHIC CLOSE ENCOUNTERS - The Electromagnetic Indictment', is due in March 1995. Written two years prior, it is more speculative than 'ALLERGIES AND ALIENS' and explores the overlap between UFO entities and apparitions via the 'ELECTRO-STAGING HYPOTHESIS'. Another book, 'ELECTROREALITY - Living with Electromagnetic Pollution', is planned to address technical questions and health effects, including domestic electroforms like those photographed by Maria Ward. The Blandford book introduces the 'SIGNAL LINK' phenomenon, where an individual's personal field links with a distant atmospheric phenomenon, creating a personal and physical electromagnetic link with the witness. An example is given of an energetic earthing effect when a witness touched a metal door handle while observing a UFO, resulting in a laser-like burn.

Item 8: Funding for UFO Research

The author is applying to the FUND FOR UFO RESEARCH (FFUR) for funding to investigate the area around the CRYSTAL PALACE RF transmitter (1000 kW). A second stage involves investigating residents near pylons. This project will require sophisticated RF field meters and microwave detectors. The author expresses concern that FFUR might only fund projects supporting the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH).

Item 9: 'Optical Illusions. A Brush with the Aliens.'

A chapter by Anne Silk in 'FORTEAN TIMES' (Vol.1 Dec'1994) titled 'OPTICAL ILLUSIONS. A Brush with the Aliens.' discusses non-ionising radiation effects on the human optical system, particularly Haidinger's Brush and its role in perceiving polarized light. This can lead to the perception of coloured forms, such as the 'wraparound eyes' of the Hopkins' grey alien entity or UFOs seen by witnesses like Elsie Oakensen.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the pervasive influence of electromagnetic fields on health and perception, and their potential connection to UFO phenomena and close encounters. The author consistently advocates for the importance of environmental factors, particularly EM pollution, in understanding these anomalous experiences. The editorial stance is one of active investigation, challenging conventional scientific views, and promoting a holistic approach that links physical environments with subjective experiences. The author is confident in his research and theories, viewing them as unique and largely unassailable, while acknowledging the existence of critics and misunderstandings.
