UFO+PSI Magazine - Issue 08 - 2000

Magazine Overview

This document is the eighth issue of the UFO + PSI Research Magazine, published in February 2000. The magazine is written in English and features a foreword by Christian Pfeiler, who announces the upcoming launch of a dedicated UFO + PSI related website.

Foreword by Christian Pfeiler

Christian Pfeiler opens the issue by addressing the frequent requests for a website. He confirms that a website is in development and will offer news, articles, image galleries, downloads, and more, with approximately 30 megabytes of webspace available. He plans to publish some magazine articles online and mentions UFOINFO.COM as the official archive. The website is expected to be online within four to five weeks, and readers are invited to send suggestions.

Returning to the magazine content, Pfeiler highlights several articles, including the second part of the 'Alex' abduction story, a potential psychological explanation for aspects of this case, an article on the 'Alien Autopsy' film, and a piece on the mysterious 'Chupacabras'. He thanks Alex, Derek, Jim, Bill, and Ray for their contributions.

Pfeiler also touches upon conspiracy theories, such as the US government working with extraterrestrials and the existence of alien underground bases like the Dulce Base, often found in documents like 'The Serpent Files' or 'The Dulce Papers'. He notes that while these theories sound fictional, the main problem is the uncertainty of whether there is a core truth to them. He uses the example of alleged underground cities and UFO bases, linking them to worldwide UFO sightings and phenomena connected to caves and mines. He mentions a mysterious being killed in a cave in Puerto Rico and strange activities there.

While acknowledging that many claims of 'strong' believers are exaggerated, Pfeiler believes it's important to examine any potential truth and not dismiss unbelievable stories outright. He decides to include one of these 'true' documents, the 'Krill' papers, in the magazine, urging readers to approach it sceptically but with an open mind. He concludes his foreword by expressing hope that readers will enjoy the eighth issue, despite his self-acknowledged 'bad English'.

UFO related sentence of the month

The selected sentence is: "You can readily see why almost none of these kinds of stories ever appear in print, except in occult-oriented literature. Nevertheless, if we hope to assess the true UFO situation, we must examine all these stories. We can learn nothing by considering only those incidents which are emotionally and intellectually acceptable to us." This sentence is attributed to the "Krill papers".

UFO Dictionary

• Written by Christian Pfeiler, this section provides definitions for UFO-related terms starting with the letter 'D'. Entries include:
• DARPA: Abbreviation for "Defense Advance Research Projects Agency", a US military research organization developing weapon systems.
• Dreamland: Another name for "Area 51" in Nevada.
• Drake Equation: A mathematical equation estimating the probability of extraterrestrial life, using variables like species lifespan and communication phase, noted as controversial.
• Dulce: A town in New Mexico, claimed to have a huge alien underground base beneath the Archuleta Mesa, though evidence is scarce, despite numerous UFO sightings and cattle mutilations reported locally.
• "Doughnuts-on-a-rope": Describes a strange airplane propulsion seen with triangle-shaped planes, believed by some to be part of the secret US "Aurora" project.
• Delphos ring: A famous UFO landing site from 1971 near Delphos, Kansas, USA. Witnesses found a ring of glowing matter on the ground, which caused partial paralysis upon touch. Scientists could not fully analyze the substance, but it appeared to be a crystallization of the ground.

Missing time and strange dreams - Part 2

Written by Alex, translated by Christian Pfeiler, this section details Alex's personal experiences.

Alex recounts his ongoing experiences, particularly those after March and in Summer 1999, and unusual events from his youth. He describes a "flashback" in March and a "missing time" of nearly an hour. In April, after hurting his leg, he visited a doctor. During the conversation, he mentioned feeling unwell, experiencing headaches and dizziness. The doctor ordered a blood test. The next morning, while a nurse attempted to draw blood, Alex experienced a memory recall, reacting strongly to the needle and mentioning pain in his head, possibly related to a past injection. He apologized for his behavior, attributing it to stress.

In June 1999, Alex had a vivid dream set in a dark, abandoned city where he found himself naked with a woman. The dream involved a black whirl in the sky that grew larger, emitting balls of fire. He realized it was a dream and the woman confirmed it, revealing they knew his name. He then encountered an old man who showed him a bright ball of light. Alex woke up with his eyes hurting and found himself lying upside-down in bed.

In September 1999, Alex reports his second and last real-life UFO sighting during daylight on September 10th, near Salzburg, Austria. He saw a small, shiny, silvery ball object that reflected sunlight. Initially thinking it was a balloon, he later observed it was much closer and definitely not a balloon, being an absolutely black, non-reflecting ball. It hovered motionless at an estimated height of 50-60 meters and distance of 100-120 meters. The object disappeared and reappeared at a greater distance, moving at high speed. Alex notes a possible "missing time" episode during this sighting, as he could not recall the duration or exact sequence of events, but he reached his destination on time.

Alex also inquired about unusual childhood experiences. His mother recalled him being afraid of the dark between ages 4-6, seeing "monsters" and "old ugly dwarfs." He disliked fairy tales like "Snow White" due to fear of the dwarfs. His father mentioned an imaginary friend named "Fu Fu" or "Fu Mu" around age 4-5, whom Alex believed protected him from dwarfs and gave him "invisible toys." Alex also played with a mysterious light glass rod given by "Fu Fu." His mother recalled him drawing "Fu Fu" as a "friendly little girl."

Alex concludes his story, stating he has no other strange experiences since September. He has researched UFOs and contacted Chris. He notes that some authors dismiss abductees as liars or crazies, and friends have often laughed at his experiences, which he emphasizes are not a joke but simply strange.

A short analysis of the psychological aspects of Alex's story

Written by Christian Pfeiler, this section analyzes Alex's abduction case from a psychological perspective, aiming to explain the events without extraterrestrial involvement.

Pfeiler divides the story into real (physical) events and dream-related (psychological) events. He focuses on the psychological aspects, particularly Alex's early childhood fears of the dark and "monsters." He suggests that the "monsters" are a manifestation of primal instincts related to prehistoric threats. In Alex's case, these fears are symbolized by "old ugly dwarfs." He posits that Alex's mind created a "friendly little girl" figure, "Fu Fu," to protect him from these dwarfs and the darkness, as the dwarfs were compelled to obey her.

• Pfeiler then examines Alex's adult dreams in light of these childhood symbols:
• The "sitting in hospital" dream: Interpreted as a symbol of purity or safety, with bandages possibly representing a feeling of helplessness. A "scary man with a big piece of metal in his head" and an "old ugly nurse" are seen as threats, linked to the "old ugly dwarfs."
• The "doctor" dream: Continues the hospital symbolism, with "red things" possibly representing fear of being hurt. Alex's refusal to cooperate with the doctor symbolizes his resistance to confronting these symbolic fears.
• The "young woman" dream: The woman is identified as Alex's "Fu Fu" protection being in a more adult form. The inability to recall the faces of the dwarfs suggests the subconscious mind's avoidance of detailed confrontation with fear symbols.
• The "fly man" dream: Described as weird and not fitting neatly into the theory. The "fly man" in a uniform is seen as a potential threat, but seemed friendly in the dream.
• The "mountain" dream: Referred to as a "presentation scene" where small beings show Alex symbols, words, and numbers. The number "37" is noted as significant, matching the Earth-Zeta Reticuli distance on the Betty Hill starmap, though Alex denied prior knowledge.
• The "school building" dream: Symbolizes a threatening situation with locked doors, including a blue door labeled "ROOM 37 EARTH." The red sign and the reappearance of the number "37" connect it to threatening situations.

Pfeiler concludes that the psychological symbolism in Alex's dreams, rooted in childhood fears and protection figures, offers a potential framework for understanding his experiences, even if the real events remain unexplained.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena, abduction experiences, and related mysteries. There is a clear interest in presenting personal accounts, such as Alex's story, alongside analytical articles. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded, encouraging readers to examine evidence sceptically but without outright dismissal of unusual claims, as exemplified by the inclusion of the "Krill" papers and the psychological analysis of dreams. The magazine also engages with broader themes of conspiracy theories and the psychological underpinnings of belief systems surrounding UFOs and unexplained phenomena.

This issue of UFO Universe, dated 1999, with volume 3 and issue 10, priced at $4.95, features a cover headline asking 'ALIEN AUTOPSY: TRUTH OR FAKE?' and includes articles on FBI documents, the Chupacabra mystery, and dream analysis related to UFO experiences.

Dream Analysis and UFO Sightings

The issue begins with an analysis of Alex's dreams, including the 'angry teacher' dream and the 'supermarket' dream. The 'supermarket' dream is directly linked to Alex's sighting of a UFO hovering over his house, with confirmation from another witness. The analysis suggests the dream, filled with threat and the color red, might be a subconscious response to the sighting. A more complex dream from June 1999 is also discussed, which Alex felt confirmed earlier experiences from his youth. This dream involved a dark, abandoned city, a protective female image (possibly a childhood 'friendly little girl'), and a black whirl in the sky resembling doomsday. The female figure confirmed it was a dream and spoke of 'we' knowing him, which could refer to aliens or different aspects of his fear symbols. The dream ended with a man showing Alex a ball of light, leading to him waking up.

The author presents a theory that Alex's dreams might be based on childhood symbolism resurfacing for unknown reasons, rather than extraterrestrial involvement. However, the possibility that these are 'screen memories' hiding actual abduction experiences is also considered. The author invites reader feedback on their theories.

FBI Document of the Month

Christian Pfeiler presents two FBI documents. The first concerns the UFO incident at Maury Island. While the sighting was widely considered a hoax, a teletype suggests one witness claimed it was a hoax only to avoid further trouble with authorities, leaving the case's true nature ambiguous. The second document is a list of reported UFO sightings in the USA from 1947 to 1969, compiled from official Airforce projects 'Sign', 'Grudge', and 'Blue Book'. This list details 12,618 reported sightings and 701 unidentified cases, with a notable peak of 303 unidentified sightings in 1952. The author suggests the actual number of 'real' UFOs might be higher than the official count.

Book Review: "Modern Mysteries of the World"

Christian Pfeiler reviews the book "Modern Mysteries of the World" (German title "Geheimnisse des 20. Jahrhunderts") by British authors Janet and Colin Bord, published in 1989. The book, over 500 pages long, covers a wide range of paranormal topics in its 17 chapters, including UFOs, ghosts, Bigfoot, spontaneous self-combustion, and religious miracles. The second part of the book contains a list of over 110 pages detailing hundreds of unexplainable events worldwide. The review notes that while some events have possible scientific explanations, the majority remain unsolved. It highlights how the mentality of people influences the appearance of paranormal phenomena, citing more UFO sightings in the USA and more 'religious miracles' in Italy. Despite some unbelievable cases, the book is recommended for those interested in the paranormal, concluding that UFOs and paranormal phenomena are real and occur globally.

Alien Autopsy - Truth or Fake?

Written by Jim Boswin, this article critically examines the famous 'Alien Autopsy' footage. The consensus in ufological circles is that it's a hoax, with two main theories: it's a human body, or it's a special effects creation. The article argues that many comments about the footage are incorrect and that a thorough examination reveals details missed on television. The 'Human Body Theory' questions the identity of the body, noting its muscular build, extreme deformities unexplained by known diseases, and the lack of recognition despite being seen by millions. It points out missing features like subcutaneous fat, veins, arteries, and a navel. The article also discusses the injuries on the body and the possibility of twins with similar conditions. The 'Special Effects Creation' theory is explored in detail, emphasizing the meticulous planning, accurate props for the period, consistent timing of the clock, and the detailed research into autopsy procedures. The article notes the brain appears as a solid organ, not requiring the suspension liquid seen in a prop jar. It concludes that the creators were highly talented, intentionally depicting an alien autopsy, and that the film was carefully scripted and produced, possibly involving at least five people. The debris footage is also considered, suggesting it was specifically created for the production. The article ends by posing the question of whether the footage depicts a human body, a special effect, or something else.

The "Chupacabras" - Reality or Fiction?

Written by Christian Pfeiler, this article investigates the phenomenon of the "Chupacabras" (Goatsucker), creatures blamed for unexplained "cattle mutilations" in Puerto Rico and other South American countries. While in the USA these mutilations are attributed to the government, military, or UFOs, local populations believe in these unknown predators. The Chupacabra is described as a strange, crossbreed-like creature, possibly a mix of a 'Grey' alien and an earthly predator, or a 'creature from hell' brought forth by satanic rituals. Eyewitness accounts describe red eyes, small noses, narrow mouths with fangs, crude fur, and black coloration. Evidence includes bloodless corpses with unusual injuries, such as clean slices and removed organs, similar to US cattle mutilations. While some reports mention "strange lights" preceding Chupacabra sightings, suggesting a possible link to UFOs, concrete proof of their existence is lacking. The article explores whether Chupacabras are real extraterrestrials, genetic experiments, or simply superstition. It notes the similarity between Chupacabra attacks and North American cattle mutilations, questioning if they are different manifestations of the same phenomenon or if humans are responsible. The mystery remains unsolved, with possibilities including imagination, superstition, unknown animals, extraterrestrials, or genetic experiments.

The "KRILL" Papers (Part 1)

This section introduces "The 'KRILL' Papers (Part 1)" by O.H. Krill (pseudonym), focusing on "Animal mutilations - evidence for alien activity on Earth?". A remark from 'Chris' notes that the following text will present claims about a co-operation between the US government and hostile aliens, questioning how much of it is true versus fiction.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs, alien encounters, and mysterious events. The magazine adopts a stance of critical inquiry, presenting various theories and evidence while acknowledging the lack of definitive answers. There is a clear interest in exploring both the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement and alternative explanations such as psychological phenomena, hoaxes, or misinterpretations. The editorial approach encourages readers to form their own opinions based on the presented information. The inclusion of FBI documents and analyses of witness testimonies suggests a commitment to investigating reported anomalies with a degree of skepticism and a desire for factual evidence, even when that evidence is ambiguous or points to potential deception.

This is the eighth issue of UFO Magazine, with the ninth issue scheduled for publication on March 11, 2000. The cover headline boldly states, "UFOs are real, people are being abducted and very soon, the truth will out!"

Main Articles and Content

The UFO Situation: A Multi-Dimensional Phenomenon

The lead article discusses the forty-year period of UFO observation, suggesting that a significant amount of data has been suppressed, leading to a fragmented understanding of reality. It posits that some segments of society deny the existence of other species, while others acknowledge their probability, and a third group is actively interacting with them. This creates widespread confusion. The research into UFOs is presented as following a similar pattern, with different approaches ranging from empirical observation to seeking functional relationships and asking critical questions. The article highlights that answers can be disturbing, dealing with new concepts in physics, psychology, and the growing awareness of not being alone. It asserts that factions within society have known this and have been interacting with alien species, leading humanity down a path of conspiracies and disinformation. Technological knowledge and power are identified as human motives, while survival is the motive for predominant alien visitors. The paper aims to bring these details into the open, urging readers to consider the information without necessarily believing it, acknowledging the complex and dangerous nature of the UFO situation.

The article establishes the following as factual basis:

• Craft from other worlds have crashed on Earth.
• Alien craft originate from both ultra-dimensional sources and sources within this dimension.
• Early U.S. government efforts to acquire alien technology were successful.
• The U.S. government has held live alien hostages and conducted autopsies on alien cadavers.
• U.S. intelligence, security, and public agencies are involved in covering up facts.
• People have been abducted, mutilated, murdered, and kidnapped due to the UFO situation.
• There is an active alien presence on Earth that controls different elements of society.
• Alien forces maintain bases on Earth and the Moon.
• The U.S. government has collaborated with alien forces to gain technology in gravitational propulsion, beam weaponry, and mind control.
• Both aliens and the U.S. government are responsible for mutilations, albeit for different reasons.
• We live in a multi-dimensional world visited by entities from other dimensions, many of whom are hostile.
• The basis of human genetic development and religions lies in intervention by non-terrestrial and terrestrial forces.
• Actual technology far exceeds public perception.
• The United States space program is a cover operation for public relations.
• People are being killed to suppress facts, with the CIA and NSA deeply involved to the point that exposure could cause their collapse.
• Alien overt presence is indicated within five to ten years.
• Human civilization is one of many that have existed in the last billion years.

Website Tip of the Month

Christian Pfeiler reports that his intended website tip, "alienhunter.org," is offline. He instead recommends "ufomind.com," describing it as a very famous and large linksite concerning paranormal topics, with extensive archives and links.

UFO Photo of the Month

This section features a UFO photo taken in Ontario, Canada, in 1973. The photographer and a friend observed a silent, low-flying object that they initially mistook for an airplane. Seven color pictures were taken before the object disappeared into the haze. The photos show increasing haze as the object moved away.

Mail Corner

This section includes correspondence from readers.

#### Mail from Bill Eatock

Bill Eatock shares his personal UFO experiences, starting with an encounter in 1964. While waiting for someone, he felt watched and saw a small, silver, disc-shaped object about 4ft above him. The object hovered, appeared to be observing his thoughts, and then moved away rapidly. He recounts trying to tell his mother, who dismissed it. He later learned from police and research groups that it might have been a "scanner" unit. Eatock's interest grew, leading him to discover his own childhood experiences and dedicate his life to researching UFOs and aliens. He mentions his abduction experience in 1981 and his current work interviewing abductees in Wigan, Lancashire. He believes ET has been visiting Earth for centuries and that recent technological and psychological advancements allow humanity to better understand these events. He concludes that UFOs are real and the truth will soon be revealed.

#### Mail from Ray Cecot (IRAAP)

Ray Cecot, Organizational Director of the Independent Researchers' Association for Anomalous Phenomena (IRAAP), writes to Chris Pfeiler regarding his Bible articles in issue six. Cecot finds Pfeiler's theory about the Bible and alien relationships fascinating and plausible, stating they are "thinking alike." He appreciates Pfeiler's ability to postulate alternative answers to accepted subjects. Cecot agrees that the Bible might reflect more than just a spiritual message and that the idea of an alien race with a human-oriented project is reasonable. He notes that while this theory might challenge some religious beliefs, it doesn't negate the concept of God. Cecot requests permission to use some of Pfeiler's material in an IRAAP newsletter, offering credit and mentioning his email address. He also asks to be kept on the mailing list for future newsletters and offers to mail back issues.

Preview - In the Next Issue

The next issue (March issue) will feature articles on "UFOs and the Bible - some additional thoughts," a CD-ROM review of "The Unexplained," a book review of Timothy Good's "Alien Base," and a discussion on "Alien Implants - do they exist?" It will also include news about their website.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the UFO phenomenon, alien contact, government secrecy, and abduction experiences. The editorial stance, as reflected in the content and the cover headline, is that UFOs and alien presence are real, and that a significant cover-up is in place. There is a strong emphasis on presenting information that challenges conventional scientific and religious paradigms, particularly in the articles discussing the potential link between the Bible and alien intervention. The magazine encourages critical thinking and the consideration of alternative explanations for phenomena, as evidenced by the positive reception of Ray Cecot's letter to the editor. The overall tone suggests a belief in an ongoing, complex, and potentially dangerous extraterrestrial situation that is gradually being revealed to the public.
