Magazine Overview

This is the sixth issue of UFO + PSI Research Magazine, dated December 1999. The issue's central theme revolves around the controversial topic of "UFOs, aliens and the Bible," posing the question of whether aliens created human religion. The magazine aims to present evidence and theories on this subject, acknowledging its sensitive nature, especially for strong-believing Christians.

Foreword by Christian Pfeiler

Christian Pfeiler, the writer of the foreword, introduces the special issue focusing on "UFOs, aliens and the Bible." He highlights two main articles addressing these topics and the question of alien influence on religion. Pfeiler admits these are theories but suggests there is evidence that "god" was an alien, not a supernatural being. He also mentions other articles in the issue, including a "FBI document of the month," the fifth part of Mik's "man-made UFOs" article, and his own piece on "the origin of the unknown dead body." Pfeiler announces a "UFO expert(s) of the year" competition, a quiz without a prize, and thanks several individuals for their contributions. He also touches upon predictions for the year 2000, with many contactees claiming extraordinary events like UFO fleet landings or alien attacks. Pfeiler expresses his personal view that while he doesn't expect such events, the UFO mystery will likely remain unsolved. He also makes a request for old English UFO books and magazines to improve his own English.

Pfeiler then engages with a UFO skeptic regarding the percentage of unexplainable sightings. He cites a French study from 1974-1978 indicating 38% unexplainable and 32% incompletely explained sightings, and compares this to Project Blue Book's findings of around 20% unexplainable cases. He invites readers to share their opinions on this matter.

The foreword concludes with Christmas and New Year wishes and a link to his website about the computer game "Creatures 1."

UFO related sentence of the month

This section features a quote from Milton W. Cooper's MJ-12 statement: "The aliens claim to have created Homo sapiens through hybridization...they further claim to have created all our major religions.

Alien influence in Biblical times - a view at the first two books of Moses

Written by Christian Pfeiler with help from Derek Pavely, this article explores the theory that the Bible contains evidence of alien influence.

The author argues that the Bible is full of discrepancies and has been translated in a religious and often false way. He suggests that the apocryphal books of the Bible offer more proof of alien influence. The article posits that "God" was not a single being but a group of beings (Elohim), not almighty, and possibly humanoid. It suggests that "angels" or "Elohim" had sexual relations with human women, resulting in "Nephilim" (hybrids or giants). The article also notes the significant differences between the Old and New Testaments.

Focusing on the book of Genesis, the author analyzes the creation story. He points out the plural pronoun "us" in "Let us make man," suggesting the involvement of multiple beings (Elohim). He explains that "Elohim" is a plural word, meaning "the bright" or "angels," indicating a group responsible for creation. The author questions the nature of God, contrasting the description of a spiritual being with the idea of making man in their own "image" and "likeness," suggesting a humanoid form.

The article proposes that human evolution is a natural process, but the "Elohim" may have artificially developed a "new human race" by adding their physiology and intelligence to prehistoric humans. The story of Adam and Eve is interpreted as evidence of a genetic experiment, with the Garden of Eden possibly being a genetic laboratory or alien base. The "tree of knowledge" and "tree of life" are theorized to symbolize human DNA code. The author notes that God's question "Where are you?" implies he was not omniscient.

The article discusses the story of Cain and Abel, pointing out the discrepancy of Cain fearing other people when only Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel are mentioned, suggesting the existence of other humans from different genetic experiments. It highlights the long lifespans of early humans mentioned in Genesis (800-900 years) as potentially symbolic or indicative of a longer initial lifespan.

Enoch is presented as a significant early human, possibly equal to the Babylonian Utnapishtim. The article suggests Enoch visited alien bases, saw advanced technology, and flew in "divine" devices, acting as an ambassador between humans and Elohim. The author connects biblical stories to Babylonian myths.

The article delves into the sixth chapter of Genesis, discussing the "children of God" having sexual relations with human women, resulting in the "Nephilim" (hybrids). It clarifies that "Nephilim" does not mean "giants" but possibly "the fallen," referring to angels who disobeyed God. These "fallen Elohim" allegedly taught humans various skills, including astronomy and sorcery. The consequence was a decision by the other Elohim to eliminate the hybrids and a portion of the human population through a cataclysm, saving only Noah and his family.

The article notes that flood stories are common across many cultures, suggesting a partial truth to the biblical flood narrative. It questions the idea that only Noah's family survived, citing archaeological and geological evidence. The author suggests the flood might have been caused by advanced weaponry or technology rather than divine wrath.

Finally, the article examines the story of Abraham being visited by "God" and three men. It interprets this as Elohim interacting with humans, possibly using artificial means for procreation, as suggested by the promise of Sara's pregnancy. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is also discussed, with the author suggesting the Elohim had reasons beyond the stated wickedness of the inhabitants.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the potential extraterrestrial origins of religion and biblical narratives, the nature of ancient deities as possibly alien beings (Elohim), and the interpretation of biblical events through a UFO and ancient astronaut lens. The magazine's stance appears to be one that questions traditional religious interpretations and actively seeks evidence for paranormal and extraterrestrial influences in human history and belief systems. The editorial tone is speculative and encourages critical thinking about established doctrines, particularly within Christianity, by presenting alternative theories based on textual analysis and UFO lore.

This issue of UFO Universe, dated 1997, delves into the controversial theory of extraterrestrial influence on human religion and history. Written primarily by Christian Pfeiler, the magazine examines biblical narratives and religious phenomena through the lens of potential alien intervention, government cover-ups, and the concept of 'screen memories'.

Biblical Narratives Reinterpreted

The articles propose that figures and events in the Bible, such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Jacob's ladder vision, and the Ark of the Covenant, could be interpreted as encounters with advanced alien beings ('Elohim') rather than divine acts. The destruction of Sodom is likened to a nuclear detonation, and the Ark of the Covenant is described as a sophisticated technological device with unknown powers, possibly a transmitter or weapon. The text highlights discrepancies between the Old Testament's portrayal of God as an aggressive being and the New Testament's depiction of a God of love and forgiveness, suggesting a possible change in the 'alien project' or the involvement of a different species.

The New Testament is also analyzed for potential alien influence, with the virgin birth of Jesus suggested as a possible artificial insemination to create an advanced being. The star of Bethlehem is interpreted as a UFO sighting, and angelic appearances are linked to 'bright' Elohim or projections.

Religious Phenomena as UFO Encounters

The magazine explores various religious appearances and miracles, including the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal, and the Shroud of Turin, as potential evidence of alien technology or influence. The Fatima case, where three children claimed to see the Virgin Mary, is discussed in detail. The 'Sun miracle' witnessed by thousands is reinterpreted as a UFO sighting, with the prophecies given to the children being questioned for their accuracy, similar to claims made by UFO contactees.

The Shroud of Turin is presented as a relic with an image that cannot be explained by known historical technology, suggesting it might be a 'photo' created by an advanced species. The article posits that such 'holy objects' could be evidence of alien influence on religion.

Screen Memories and Alien Influence

A significant concept explored is 'screen memories,' where the human mind, particularly in response to traumatic or unusual experiences like alien abductions, creates false memories of more familiar or less frightening events, such as encounters with saints or demons. This theory is used to explain some religious visions and appearances, suggesting that not all such experiences are direct alien projections but can be a result of the human mind's coping mechanisms.

Government Cover-up and FBI Document

A dedicated section, 'FBI document of the month,' presents a memorandum from July 10, 1947, concerning flying discs. The document reveals a discussion between FBI and Air Forces Intelligence officials about the possibility of UFOs being highly classified government experiments. J. Edgar Hoover's handwritten note expresses his willingness to investigate but insists on full access to any recovered discs, indicating a potential government interest and knowledge of UFO phenomena and a possible cover-up.

Conclusion and Future Implications

The issue concludes by suggesting that the 'alien project' might be ongoing, with 'Part 1' being the ancient biblical era and 'Part 2' the subsequent 2000 years. It speculates about a potential 'Part 3' for the future, emphasizing that people will continue to witness phenomena that they interpret as either technological UFOs or ancient religious appearances, often unaware of their potential common origins in ancient alien influence.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout the issue are the reinterpretation of religious history and phenomena through the lens of alien intervention, the questioning of traditional religious beliefs, and the suggestion of a widespread government cover-up regarding UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, encouraging readers to question established narratives and consider alternative explanations for religious and unexplained events, particularly those involving advanced technology or non-human intelligence. The magazine advocates for a scientific and rational approach to these topics, even when discussing religious subjects, and implies that a hidden truth about humanity's origins and religious development may exist.

This issue of UFO magazine, dated 1999 and identified as issue number 6, is primarily written in English and published by UFO magazine, likely from Germany given the context of the articles. The cover headline announces a competition for 'UFO expert(s) of the year 1999'.

Article: The "Chupacabras" and a Mysterious Dead Body

The issue begins with a detailed account of a strange being killed in Puerto Rico in 1979 or 1980 by José Luis "Chino" Zayas. Zayas and a friend encountered a group of these beings in a cave, and one attacked Zayas, leading him to kill it. The dead body, described as neither human nor animal with a large head, cat-like eyes, no lips or teeth, and long, thin arms with claws, was preserved in formaldehyde. Witnesses deemed it an unknown species. A scientist from the University of Puerto Rico suggested it was 'something extraterrestrial,' though he was a chemist, not a biologist. Subsequently, the US military and agents claiming to be from NASA confiscated the body, which has since disappeared. The article questions whether this being was an alien or a 'Chupacabras,' a creature known in Puerto Rico for killing goats and sucking their blood, also referred to as Anomalous Biological Entities (ABEs).

Article: UFO expert(s) of the year - a little competition

Written by Christian Pfeiler, this section presents a quiz designed to identify the magazine's most knowledgeable readers on UFO topics. It poses 12 questions covering various aspects of UFOlogy, including historical cases, researchers, and terminology. The author invites readers to submit their answers via email, with the top scorers to be recognized in the next issue.

Questions include identifying the leader of the study that led to Project Blue Book's closure, naming a famous abduction case involving Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, identifying a Swiss author known for 'ancient astronauts' theories, naming UFOs seen by pilots over Germany in WWII, identifying a famous UFO witness and abduction case (Betty and Barney Hill), identifying Truman Bethurum, the secret balloon project responsible for the Roswell incident, naming a Highway Patrol Officer who witnessed a landed UFO, identifying a former US president who saw a UFO, naming a famous UFO sceptic consultant to the NSA, identifying a claimant of working on recovered UFOs at Area 51, and identifying a specific UFO sighting in France in 1952.

Article: Historical UFO drawings in Christian art

Also written by Christian Pfeiler, this article examines historical artworks, specifically a 14th-century painting from a monastery church in former Yugoslavia. The painting depicts a religious scene with a figure appearing to fly away in a device resembling a rocket or shuttle. The author speculates whether this represents a prophet being lifted to heaven or a UFO sighting experienced by the artist, noting that other artworks also depict strange objects in religious scenes, questioning if painters of the past had a different understanding of religious narratives potentially involving extraterrestrial elements.

Article: Man Made UFO's Part 5

Written by Mik Perris, this installment discusses the concept of man-made UFOs. The author notes that while initially aware of only a few disk-shaped aircraft like the Flying Flapjack and Avrocar, research revealed over 90 patents for such designs in the US Patent Office since 1947. The article highlights three known built examples: the Avrocar, the Flying Flapjack, and Paul Moller's XM4, which flew over 150 test flights. It questions how many other patented designs have been built and in other countries. The author's research aims to prove that disk-shaped aircraft are being built secretly and disguised within the UFO mythos, citing a photograph taken over Brazil as evidence.

Website Tip of the Month

Christian Pfeiler recommends the website of CAUS (Citizens against UFO secrecy), highlighting its UFO reports, links, news, and information on UFO secrecy. The director, lawyer Peter Gersten, is quoted on the importance of truth and justice.

UFO Photo of the Month

This section features a UFO photo from France, 1952. The image shows a silvery disc-shaped object with a dark center, observed and photographed by M. Andre Fregnale. The object was seen flying at an estimated 1000 meters above a lake and moved rapidly away, appearing to be a genuine sighting.

Mail Corner

This section includes correspondence from readers. Hans expresses interest in making a UFO-related movie and seeks collaborators, providing his email address. Kerry Marshall, a physics graduate, responds to a previous article, defending the principle of the constant speed of light and explaining Einstein's theories on mass increase and time dilation at near-light speeds, referencing the Michelson-Morley experiment as proof.

Rachel and Guy also contribute mail regarding the 'Alien-UFO-Bible topic.' Rachel, identifying as a Christian and an abductee, believes UFO phenomena could be connected to biblical narratives and sees exploring these possibilities as a way of seeking understanding. Guy suggests that interventions by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in human history could be mistaken for gods, which does not conflict with faith in God, mentioning Alan F. Alford.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena with science, history, and belief systems. There's a clear interest in unexplained phenomena, from alleged alien encounters and creatures like the Chupacabras to historical interpretations of UFOs in art. The publication also engages with scientific concepts, particularly physics related to space travel and the speed of light, and encourages reader participation through quizzes and mail correspondence. The editorial stance appears open to exploring controversial topics and alternative explanations, while also grounding discussions in scientific principles and historical evidence where possible. The magazine seems to foster a community of individuals interested in UFOs and related mysteries, encouraging discussion and research.

This document is the sixth issue of a newsletter titled 'The Unexplained', with a preview of upcoming articles and a note on the publication schedule. The content reflects on the potential impact of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations on humanity and the growing public awareness of life beyond Earth. The newsletter is written in English and appears to be based in the UK, with a reader named Guy contributing a letter.

Main Content

The primary text of this issue, a letter from a reader named Guy, explores profound questions about humanity's place in the universe if advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have intervened in Earth's history. Guy posits that if such interventions have occurred, it would redefine humanity's identity, potentially making them akin to 'animals' in the grand scheme. He notes the existence of primitive human survivors on Earth, like the South American Pygmies and Australian Aborigines, who have remained isolated from mainstream evolution. Guy suggests that humanity is destined to coexist with these potential advanced civilizations.

He observes a growing awareness in the modern world regarding the 'possibility' of life outside Earth, humorously imagining an alien spaceship landing in Washington D.C. He references Arthur C. Clarke's work, specifically mentioning 'Rendezvous with Rama' as a possible source for such a scenario. Guy questions the ultimate benefit of knowing about aliens to a civilization, suggesting that the popular fantasy surrounding them is largely a lucrative area for media exploitation. However, he also acknowledges the value of being forewarned and prepared.

Guy concludes his thoughts by reflecting on the capitalist nature of the planet and suggesting that this might be a universal principle. He expresses anticipation for the next newsletter.

Preview of Next Issue

The newsletter provides a preview of articles slated for the January issue. These include:

  • The "Chupacabras": More information about the "goat sucker".
  • The "Poltergeist" phenomena: An exploration of whether these are fact or fiction.
  • UFO abduction at Pascagoula Bay 1973: A specific case study of a UFO abduction.
  • "Geheimsache UFO": A critical review of Germany's most famous UFO book.
  • And other topics.

Publication Information and Call for Engagement

The newsletter thanks readers for engaging with the sixth issue and welcomes all comments and criticisms. It encourages readers to share the newsletter with interested individuals and potential new readers. The seventh issue is announced to be published on January 11, 2000, with a humorous parenthetical note about the reliability of computers in the new millennium.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue and its preview revolve around extraterrestrial life, UFO phenomena, and the philosophical implications of alien contact. The editorial stance, as inferred from the content and the preview, is one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, with a critical yet curious approach to topics like alien civilizations, abductions, and paranormal events. There is an emphasis on providing information and fostering discussion among readers interested in these subjects.
