Page 3: New Messages from the Space People - Message #1

This section presents transcripts from a tape recording by Rev. Marc Norman of Victoria, B.C., Canada, detailing an experience from August 16, 1954. While discussing flying saucers, Norman and his friends heard a clicking sound, which he interpreted as a telethought message. He describes a pressure on his head and then receives a message identified as "UK27 calling," from "flight 15 of planet 99 of the constellation Canis Major," with the speaker identifying himself as Antrim. Antrim states they received the request for contact and decided to attempt it, explaining that they had been tuning into Earth. Antrim mentions that the message is being transmitted via an "electronic thought-transmitter."

Antrim explains that the group has been under consideration due to their varied interests and willingness to coordinate. While specific technical details of their craft cannot be shared yet, they can provide information on their activities and mode of life if confirmation of sincerity is received. Antrim mentions that the means of communication is an "electronic thought-transmitter" which translates spoken words into impulses transmitted via a specific auric field. As members of the "Interplanetary Committee of the Council of Orbits," they monitor planetary activities. They express concern over the misuse of cosmic forces, specifically nuclear weapons, but cannot interfere unless repercussions occur in other planes. They have offset some "radionic interpenetrices" affecting Earth's ionosphere. They are attempting to organize contact groups of sincere individuals seeking a "more harmonious establishment of international relationships" to understand Earth's situation better. They note that Earth is entering a "New Age" and that preparedness is essential, referencing biblical prophecies.

Antrim emphasizes that their purpose is not to extol the Cosmic Record but to alert individuals to their situation, appealing to those seeking enlightenment. They cannot approach the masses directly due to potential panic. Their study of Earth has focused on individuals with spiritual and metaphysical interests who can appreciate "esoteric release." They desire to "align both into one amalgamation" for eventual establishment in a designated place and time. The primary consideration is the sincerity of individuals in these contact groups. Antrim explains their role as "Interplanetary Patrol Regulators," observing vibrational impulses from planets and maintaining orbital regularity using electro-magnetic fields, acting under the authority of "Higher Intelligences" and the "Council of Orbits." They also address the repercussions of atomic explosions on Earth, which create "radionic fallout," and their method of disintegrating these particles with "Thermo-Active Fireball Range" to prevent catastrophic consequences. They acknowledge that while these experiments are currently considered weapons of war, they will eventually be directed towards implements of peace. They are not overly concerned with Earth's international relationships, believing these will eventually lead to a more harmonious existence as science advances.

Page 6: Message #1 Conclusion and Message #2

Antrim concludes Message #1 by stating that they cannot permit investigation into realms beyond human capacity to understand, questioning how humans expect to extend friendship to other worlds if they cannot achieve it among themselves. They seek individuals with understanding and friendly spirits who have experienced inter-exchange of ideas. The crew members of their "Interplanetary Space Patrol Craft" are introduced: Antrim (control officer), Kilmar (recording specialist), Pontor (ray instruments), and Cato (operative engineer), noting these are not their real names. Rev. Mark Norman then presents "Message #2," received on November 9th, 1956, at 1 P.M. This message was prompted by Norman's contemplation of a supposed message from "Mon a" of Mars, scheduled for November 7th, and his wondering about its authenticity and purpose.

Page 7: Message #2 Continued and News Suppression

Message #2, from the same source, begins with "UK27 calling." The speaker, identifying as a "brother in space," acknowledges the anticipation surrounding the November 7th message and the potential disappointment if nothing occurred. They explain that while "Honka's" intention was to provide encouragement, the "Grand Council" advised against it as it was not in keeping with their plans. To avoid embarrassment for UFO groups and to reassure people, it was decided that a spacecraft would be in the vicinity to confirm sightings. The message states that the November 7th event was intended to "establish proof, if any be needed, as to the existence of space craft," which was a "tubular vessel." The issue then discusses the suppression of news regarding the hundreds of spacecraft sightings over Los Angeles on November 7th, 1956. Despite reports to newspapers, wire services, and authorities, no official reports appeared. Those who reported sightings were given evasive explanations, such as mistaking them for clouds or hallucinations. The article criticizes the lack of freedom of speech and press concerning flying saucer news.

Page 10: Open Letter from Gabriel Green

This page includes an open letter from Gabriel Green to Er. Lee R. Munsick, Editor of the UFO Newsletter. Green thanks Munsick for his inquiry about the availability of the 16mm color film "We've Seen The Saucers." He explains that the film rental cost was $200.00-$300.00, but the owners have agreed to allow distribution for as little as $50.00 if enough interest is shown. Green requests interested clubs to write to him to secure this reduced rate. He also compliments Munsick's newsletter, acknowledging that he doesn't agree with everything printed but values its service. Green then addresses a point from a previous UFO Newsletter regarding the term "senspacetional," which Dan Fry reportedly coined but denies using in print.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around extraterrestrial contact, UFO sightings, and the dissemination of information from alleged space beings. The editorial stance, as represented by Gabriel Green and The Los Angeles Interplanetary Study Groups, is one of advocating for a "New Age" of spiritual and physical emancipation for humanity, achieved through greater understanding, cooperation, and the establishment of a global brotherhood. There is a clear belief in the existence of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations and a desire to bridge the gap between humanity and these beings. The issue also highlights a concern about government and media suppression of UFO-related information, framing it as a violation of freedom of speech and liberty, comparable to "brain-washing" from controlled media. The publication aims to prepare humanity for open contact by informing and organizing select groups of sincere individuals.

This issue of "Thy Kingdom Come" magazine, spanning pages 11 through 15, focuses on the theme of unity and cooperation within the flying saucer community, with a particular emphasis on combating misinformation and promoting public understanding of UFO phenomena. The publication itself is presented as a vital tool in this effort, aiming to disseminate information that is often ignored by mainstream media.

Key Articles and Themes

The Need for Amalgamation and Cooperation

The editorial content strongly advocates for the amalgamation of flying saucer groups. The author argues that individual groups often lack the strength to effectively disseminate information and gain public acceptance. The formation of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA) is presented as a crucial step towards achieving greater prestige, applying organized pressure on Congress, and fostering national unity and information exchange. The principle of cooperation is highlighted, suggesting that differences in opinion should not prevent groups from uniting on common goals.

Combating Misinformation

A significant portion of the text addresses the issue of misinformation, attributing it to a lack of adequate information and the reluctance of the free press to cover UFO topics. The magazine positions itself and other similar publications as essential sources for news and information, urging them to take on the responsibility of publishing their own findings until the "stranglehold of the silence groups is broken."

A New Hope for the World

The publication presents itself as offering "a new hope" by disseminating information about procedures and actions that can prevent "destructive prophesies and situations." It suggests that knowledge of how to solve problems and eliminate dangers has been revealed, encouraging readers to "work for a better world" through "divine intervention."

Support for the Publication

Readers are urged to support the non-profit organization financially to help cover costs and continue its service of bringing information about flying saucers and space people to a wider audience. The message emphasizes that this is a collective fight for "mens' minds" and the achievement of "true peace and brotherhood."

Fourth Annual Spacecraft Convention

A prominent announcement details the Fourth Annual Spacecraft Convention, scheduled for May 11-12, 1957, at Giant Rock, California. Hosted by Mr. and Mrs. George W. Van Tassel, the event is advertised as a "history-making event" where attendees can "hear the people who have contacted the space people." Admission is free, with free overnight camping available. The announcement includes a map with driving directions from Los Angeles.

Directory of UFO Groups

Pages 3, 4, and 5 of the issue contain extensive lists of U.S. and international flying saucer clubs, organizations, research groups, and publications. These lists provide names, addresses, and sometimes publication details, serving as a resource for individuals seeking to connect with others in the field. Notable entries include the "Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America" (AFSCA), the "National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena" (NICAP) led by Major Donald E. Keyhoe, and various local clubs and study groups.

Call for Cooperation and Bulletin Exchange

An appeal is made for clubs to cooperate on a bulletin exchange, encouraging groups to send their bulletins to others listed in the directory. This initiative aims to improve communication and ensure that information reaches a wider audience, thereby helping to "make a majority out of the present minority of saucer fans."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this section of the magazine are the critical need for unity and cooperation among flying saucer enthusiasts and organizations, the fight against misinformation and suppression of information by mainstream sources, and the belief that understanding flying saucer phenomena is linked to a broader understanding of world problems and a path towards a better future. The editorial stance is one of proactive engagement, encouraging collective action and support for publications dedicated to the cause. The magazine positions itself as a beacon of hope and a source of vital, often suppressed, information.
