Strange Daze - number 13

Magazine Overview

Title: STRANGE DAZE
Issue: Number 13
Date: May 1997
Publisher: Northern UFO Research and Investigation (NUFORI)
Price: £1.50

This issue of Strange Daze, the 13th, presents a diverse range of topics centered around UFO phenomena, unexplained events, and scientific curiosities. The cover features a striking image of Albert Einstein contemplating a hovering UFO, hinting at the intellectual and mysterious content within.

Editorial

The editorial, penned by Dave Newton, addresses the price increase for the magazine to £6 per year, attributing it to rising production costs and the increasing size of the publication. Newton also dismisses the 'Hale-Mary' story about a companion spaceship to Comet Hale-Bopp as "rubbish," expressing his certainty that no such companion exists. He contrasts this with the gullibility of some people who readily accept such narratives, drawing a parallel to the Heaven's Gate cult's beliefs. The editor reflects on the mass suicide of the Heaven's Gate group, noting the $5.75 cash found with each member and linking it to Mark Twain's story "Extract from Captain Stormfield's Trip to Heaven." He also touches upon other unusual deaths and disappearances, such as the JATO rocket pack incident and the Benjamin Bathurst case, highlighting the 'style' of these events.

News

39 UFO Sect Members Found Dead in San Diego

This section reports on the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult in San Diego, California. Led by Marshall Herff Applewhite (aka Father John, Do, Bo, and the Two), the group believed they would be transported to a UFO following Comet Hale-Bopp. The article details the victims, their ages, and the official cause of death as overdose and suffocation. It also mentions puzzling discrepancies, including a videotape sent by a former member announcing their intent to shed their physical containers and be lifted to a UFO. The report notes the 'Hale-Bapp companion' or SLO, first spotted by amateur astronomer Chuck Shramek and dismissed by professionals, but which other observers claimed to have seen.

Mysterious Explosion Over South Yorkshire

A deafening explosion was heard over South Yorkshire on March 24, 1997, detected by seismic units. Witnesses reported seeing a UFO hovering with light beams at the time of the explosion. Despite a search involving RAF Tornado jets, no wreckage was found, fueling rumors of a "saucer crash and retrieval." The article notes that while some reports of flying triangles were disputed, the event remains unexplained.

Reports from Around the UK

Gloria Dixon introduces a section on UFO sighting reports received by BUFORA and NUFORI. She notes a significant increase in reports of triangular objects, potentially linked to new British Aerospace UAV prototypes. Disc, globe, and saucer shapes remain common, while close encounter reports have also risen, with some involving physical effects and entities. Laser light displays and bright stars/planets are identified as common sources of misidentification for 'Lights in the Sky' (LITS) reports.

Edinburgh Incident (October 1991)

A summary of an extraordinary 'dreamlike' experience reported by a couple in Edinburgh. The male witness described being held down by a figure with a 'squashed ice cream cone' instrument and feeling a tingling sensation. Both experienced vivid, shared dreams involving shadowy forms and a sense of being unable to move. They later identified with Whitley Strieber's experiences.

Roker Pier, Sunderland Incident (Early June/July 1982)

Two men fishing at Roker Pier reported seeing a large orange light appear, change to brilliant white, and then move straight up. The object's shape was described as a big spinning top with a crown.

Shropshire Incident (15th December 1997)

Mrs. F reported a vivid dream about losing her purse, followed by a buzzing sensation and red and blue lights outside her window. She then experienced an image of a square/rectangular object with 'white teeth' and an entity with large black oval eyes.

Manchester Incident (Early December 1996)

Mrs. C reported hearing voices and seeing a bright light, followed by a figure described as a black, 3ft tall entity with a large head and grinning mouth. She experienced pain in her side and a grabbing sensation. Upon waking, she had a large bruise and recovered memories of the event.

Witness Accounts and Investigations

The Guilford Incident (January/February 1989)

Investigator Gloria Dixon documents a case involving Marcia Hill, a 12-year-old girl from Guilford, Surrey. On a winter evening in 1989, while watching TV with a friend, Marcia noticed flickering lamps and then saw a figure with long fingers, described as being in a foetal position, stroking the grass in her garden. The figure had no discernible face. The incident was brief, and when Marcia turned to call her friend, the figure had vanished. A time discrepancy was noted as her friend had only been in the bathroom for a few seconds. Marcia reported experiencing recurring nightmares and a change in her personality, becoming more cynical and distrustful. Her mother confirmed Marcia's change and also recalled observing a strange iridescent red ball of light prior to the incident.

Elizabeth's Experience (Winter 1968)

Marcia's mother, Elizabeth, shared a personal experience from when she was seventeen in 1968. While walking to a bus stop in Bearsted, Kent, she heard a noise like a vacuum cleaner and saw a silent, fluorescent tube-like object, about 15 feet long, moving slowly at tree height. The object passed over her head, and she felt apprehensive. She later saw the object hovering silently above a junction. She noted that two men on a motorbike did not seem to notice it. Elizabeth described the object as being 'there and then not there', giving her the impression it was there for her to look at. She also experienced another unusual incident years later with her husband, for which more information is pending.

Charlton Park Sighting (Mid 1960s)

An anonymous investigator contacted BUFORA about a daylight sighting from the 1960s. During a walk in Charlton Park, London, the investigator's mother observed a triangular object with spheres joined by tubes. At the same time, all familiar sounds ceased. Upon leaving the park, she saw the object again, heard a whooshing sound, and it disappeared. A drawing of the object is mentioned.

Chester Incident (September 1980/81)

GW, a fifteen-year-old from Mollington, Chester, reported seeing a bright orange glow in the night sky, circular in shape, at an estimated height of 3,000 feet. The light descended slowly, becoming clearer and larger, before landing in a field. The orange glow disappeared, and the object adopted a triangular shape with green-violet and red lights. A hatch opened, revealing a lit interior, and then closed. GW observed the object for about 30 minutes, describing it as a triangular fluorescent road sign.

The Fife Incident (September 23rd, 1996)

This is the most extensively detailed case in the issue, investigated by Malcolm Robinson of Strange Phenomena Investigations (SPI). The incident involved Mary Morrison (pseudonym), her ten-year-old son Peter, and her friend Jane. While driving to a nearby town, they observed a huge stationary white light that changed into two bright lights. They stopped the car to observe. Suddenly, two massive bright spotlights illuminated the ground, crisscrossing each other. The lights switched off, revealing a large black triangular object with small red lights at its apex and underside. The object had a small dome on top and was described as larger than a hand when held out. It moved away slowly, and when Mary waved, it flashed three times. The entire event lasted about five minutes.

#### Second Sighting and Strange Phenomena

On their return journey, the same or a similar object was sighted again, travelling quickly towards them, causing Peter to cry. The object then shot back the way it came. Later, Mary purchased a UFO magazine and contacted Larry Dean of SKYSEARCH. Following this, Mary and her companions went out again and saw hundreds of small star-like objects. They then observed an immensely bright white light near a transmitter, flashing in a sequence. Mary became aware of 'figures' silhouetted in these lights, described as small grey beings busy picking up boxes and cylinders. Further back, she saw a triangular structure and a large tan-brown 'being' who appeared to be in charge. This being stretched down, then stood up and moved back into the trees. The witnesses felt a sense of unrealness and were captivated by spinning blue, red, and green lights, likening it to a laser light show. They were moved to tears. A bright beam of light then shone down, illuminating the road, causing them to flee back to Jane's house.

#### Further Encounters and Physical Traces

During a third visit to the area, they saw more small 'beings' in the woods, supervised by the tall brown 'being'. Mary described the brown being as having a large bulbous head and a flat face. The small beings moved naturally, carrying boxes and cylinders. The witnesses experienced an effect that made them feel as if they were close to the beings, despite the distance. The most frightening part occurred when they saw 'figures' coming out of the woods, accompanied by a mist described as fibrous, like a cocoon. Hundreds of beings were being carried towards them. They then saw straw bales crowding across the road and sensed a 'being' at the car window. As they fled, the field lit up in a blue flash. Mary experienced a sensation of being pushed back into a lying position with someone holding her head. Marks were later found on some witnesses, including a bruise, marks resembling suction, and discolored patches. Mary also experienced discomfort and pain under her right arm.

#### Dreams and Contact

Mary reported having strange dreams, some with sexual overtones, and one in particular where she was on board a craft with small grey beings and a brown 'creature'. She described the creature's arm as 'textured' and 'leathery'. She felt she was getting no communication from the UFOs but was stunned by the experience. She questioned whether the beings she saw were their true image. The witnesses also noted a large rock that had been moved and an 'igloo thing' constructed from weeds and grass.

#### SPI's Investigation and Limitations

SPI learned of the case through Garry Wood, an abductee himself. They attempted to contact Tony Dodd of UFO Magazine, who was investigating the case, but received limited information due to witness confidentiality. Mary agreed to talk to SPI and was put in touch with a professional counsellor. SPI was unable to obtain written confirmation or drawings from the witnesses, relying on an audio recording of their visit. The witnesses, traumatized, have since declined further interviews.

Articles and Commentary

Some Thoughts on Xenomorphology by Paul Cabby

Paul Cabby critically examines the common descriptions of aliens, such as 'Greys' and 'Nordics', suggesting they are too anthropocentric and perhaps lack imagination. He argues that parallel evolution on other worlds is improbable due to the contingent nature of Earth's evolution. Cabby posits that bipedalism and the freeing of hands might be necessary for intelligence but believes similarities would likely end there. He uses the examples of dinosaur extinction and the Cambrian explosion to illustrate the role of chance and randomness in evolution, suggesting that extraterrestrial life could be vastly different and perhaps even repulsive.

Tracks on the Desert... by Dean James

This article delves into the life and work of Dr. George Hunt Williamson, an American channeller influential in the 1950s UFO and occult movements. Dean James highlights Williamson's use of aliases and questionable academic qualifications, noting his association with figures like George Adamski and Marion Dorothy Martin (Mrs. Keech). Williamson's work is presented as part of a broader occult movement aiming to usher in a new magical era. The article also touches upon the influence of figures like Ray Stanford and the theory of a 'cartel of International Bankers' behind UFO sightings.

Editor's Comment

The editor notes that the provided report on the Fife Incident is an edited version of Malcolm Robinson's original submission, with more background information and experiences omitted due to space constraints. Interested readers are encouraged to contact Malcolm Robinson directly for full details.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently features detailed witness testimonies of UFO sightings and encounters, often with an emphasis on the psychological and physical effects on the witnesses. There is a clear investigative approach, with researchers like Malcolm Robinson and Gloria Dixon attempting to gather evidence and understand the phenomena. The articles also explore broader theoretical aspects of ufology, such as the nature of extraterrestrial life and the history of UFO research, often questioning conventional narratives and highlighting the strangeness and complexity of the subject. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, respecting witness accounts while acknowledging the challenges and limitations of investigation, particularly when dealing with traumatized individuals or sensationalized media coverage.

Main Article: Amateur Science Solves the UFO Mystery by Steuart Campbell

Steuart Campbell presents his hypothesis that the UFO mystery is effectively solved by understanding atmospheric optical phenomena, primarily mirages. He argues that most UFO reports are not evidence of alien visitation but rather misinterpretations of natural phenomena.

The Mirage Theory Explained

Campbell details how mirages, which are images of real objects seen via abnormal refraction, can explain consistent UFO reports. He distinguishes between inferior mirages (seen on hot surfaces) and superior mirages (occurring in the sky due to temperature inversions).

• Inferior Mirages: Often seen on hot surfaces like deserts or roadways, reflecting the sky as water or inverted images of distant objects.
• Superior Mirages: Can appear in the sky when warm air lies over cold air, causing light to be refracted and creating inverted images. These can move, appear, and disappear, and be magnified. They can also be unnaturally bright and shimmer.

Explaining Classic UFO Sightings

Campbell applies his theory to several well-known UFO cases:

• Kenneth Arnold's 1947 Sighting: The nine bright objects were superior mirages of snow-capped mountain peaks in the Cascade Range. Their apparent movement was due to Arnold's own aircraft's movement.
• Japanese Boeing 747 Incident (Alaska, 1986): The 'giant UFO' was a superior mirage of runway lights from a military airfield 450 km away, magnified by a temperature inversion.
• Rendlesham Forest Incident (1980): Mysterious lights and alleged landing evidence were likely caused by mirages and planets, not a crashed UFO.
• The 'Flying Saucer' Shape: The classic 'flying saucer' shape is explained as a double mirage of an astronomical object (star or planet) where two images merge, one inverted, creating the disc-like appearance.
• 'Daylight Disc' Reports: These can be explained by enlarged and brightened mirage images visible in daylight.
• 'Impossible' Manoeuvres and Silence: Images, unlike real craft, have no limitations on speed or manoeuvre and do not produce sonic booms.

Historical Context and Previous Research

Campbell references early descriptions of mirages by Joseph Huddart (1797) and Samuel Vince (1799). He notes that only Donald H. Menzel and the Condon Report seriously considered mirages, but even they did not fully apply the hypothesis to all cases. He criticizes astronomers and the Condon Report for not adequately considering psychological factors and perceptual distortions.

Dangers of Mirages

Campbell highlights that misinterpreting mirages has led to dangerous situations, including aircraft crashes. Captain Thomas Mantell's death in 1948 is cited as a possible case of chasing a mirage of Jupiter. Frederick Valentich's disappearance in 1978 might also be linked to a mirage of Canopus.

Conclusions on the UFO Mystery

Campbell concludes that mirages provide a scientific hypothesis that explains UFO reports without resorting to pseudoscientific or exotic explanations like alien activity. He believes that apparent inconsistencies in reports are due to the reporter's ignorance of perceptual distortions, false associations, and fear responses. Hypnotically obtained accounts are deemed unreliable.

Book Review: "Who On Earth Am I?" by Terry Le Riche Walters

This book is described as a standout among 'channelled' books, containing personal experiences of the author. Terry claims the Giza plateau was an alien spacecraft base, with aliens from Orion and Sirius. He describes these 'Nordics' as tall, tanned, leathery-skinned with blonde hair, and concerned about Earth's environmental impact. The review finds the description of their spacecraft and the author's belief that they didn't know what horses were peculiar.

Book Review: "The UFO Mystery Solved" by Steuart Campbell

This book is recommended for its interesting UFO and paranormal topics, and its educational value in presenting human perception. The reviewer, Malcolm Robinson, praises Campbell for educating the public and sceptics about the reality of human perception.

Letters to the Editor

Several letters are included:

• Mik: A philosophical statement encouraging belief and discouraging ridicule, emphasizing that knowledge takes time and the future is yours.
• Mr Karma Nips (writing as 'Orthon' and 'Mr Karma Nips'):
• One letter humorously describes the "Armchair Researchers Study of the Extraordinary" (ARSE) group, emphasizing their dedication to reading UFO literature and their unique 'research' methods.
• A second letter, written as 'Orthon', protests the lack of coverage for Paulinne Delcour-Min's work, accusing the editor of being a 'reptoid' and expressing admiration for Delcour-Min.
• Mr F: Provides feedback on the Urantia Book article, noting that much of its content can be found in scientific journals and comparing it to the Book of Mormon.
• I. Roden: Recounts an experience of "time loss" in reverse, where an experience that felt like hours only took minutes, attributing it to an "arrogant, emotionless gnome dressed in grey."

"WE THE JURY" - Grampian Television Program

This section details a mock court debate on Grampian TV that addressed the reality of UFOs in Scotland. Malcolm Robinson presented the case for UFOs, while arch sceptic Steuart Campbell argued against it. The jury found the case for the reality of the UFO phenomenon proven by 9 votes to 3, a victory celebrated by UFOlogists. The program is noted for giving UFOlogy a serious hearing.

Next Issue Preview

The next issue, scheduled for August, will be a special "50 years of UFOlogy" issue, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Kenneth Arnold's sighting and the Roswell Incident.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena, with a strong emphasis on providing alternative, often scientific, explanations for sightings. Steuart Campbell's 'mirage theory' is presented as a definitive solution to the UFO mystery, challenging conventional UFOlogy and alien visitation narratives. The editorial stance appears to favour critical analysis and scientific investigation, while also acknowledging the passion and dedication of UFO enthusiasts, as seen in the coverage of the "We the Jury" debate and the "Letters to the Editor" section. There is a clear skepticism towards claims of alien abduction and a preference for terrestrial or atmospheric explanations.

This issue of 'Heck's Files' is dated 1996 and features content related to UFOs, alien encounters, and conspiracy theories. It includes a comic strip and a detailed article about a ufologist.

Heck's Files Comic Strip

The first page presents a comic strip titled 'Heck's Files'. The strip depicts a series of panels showing a character, possibly named Hector, experiencing a strange event. The panels include sound effects like 'OHHHHHHHH!', 'THROB THROO', 'WHAT'S THAT?', 'WHOOSH!!', and 'PSSSSST'. One panel shows Hector with his head hurting, exclaiming 'OH ECK, MY HEAD HURTS!'.

Presentation and E.B.E. Award

The strip begins with Dr. Doddman concluding a presentation to delegates about worldwide UFO conspiracy. He expresses his hope to be in line for an 'E.B.E. AWARD' (Extraterrestrial Biological Entity award) for his successful lecture.

Personal Reflections

In a thought bubble, Dr. Doddman reflects on watching 'Communion Again' and quotes lines like 'I AM THE DREAMER' 'YOU ARE THE DREAM' and 'YOU'VE BROKEN MY MIND... GREAT STUFF WHITREY!'. He also mentions 'A TRUE STORY AS WELL.... WHO NEEDS CASABLANCA!'

Mass Landing and Contact

Dr. Doddman states he is observing a mass landing of alien spacecraft and intends to make contact to obtain evidence. He is shown with a device, possibly for detection or communication.

Amusement Arcade Encounter

One panel depicts Dr. Doddman in an amusement arcade, engaging with a game or machine. He is heard asking 'WHAT ADVANCED PROPULSION SYSTEM IS APPLIED TO YOUR SCOUTSHIPS?.. WHAT GALAXY ARE YOU FROM?' while holding a device and looking at a display with numbers and targets.

Angel Hair Evidence

Another panel shows Dr. Doddman holding a substance labeled 'CANDY FLOSS' and declaring 'A-HA ANGEL HAIR UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE'.
