"UFO related sentence of the month"
This section features a quote from a personal letter to Dr. J. Allen Hynek, describing a profound and frightening UFO sighting experience on June 8, 1966, which involved German jet fighter flights in World War II and an attempt by the Air Force to dismiss it as hallucination.
"UFO Dictionary"
Written by Christian Pfeiler, this is the fifth part of the UFO dictionary, focusing on terms starting with the letter "E." Entries include:
- EBE: Abbreviation for "Extraterrestrial Biological Entity," rumored to be used by the US government for aliens from incidents like Roswell.
- ETH: Abbreviation for "Extraterrestrial Hypothesis," the theory that UFOs are piloted by beings from other planets, with alternative theories including dimensional or hollow-earth origins.
- EG&G: Abbreviation for "Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier," a company involved in secret US military research projects and security for Area 51.
- Ezekiel (aka Hesekiel in German): A biblical prophet described as being "abducted" into a flying object and meeting "God" or an alien commander, with the Book of Ezekiel interpreted as religious interpretations of technological equipment.
- Eupen: A Belgian town known for a 1989 triangle UFO sighting that skeptics struggled to explain satisfactorily.
- Elements 115/116: According to Bob Lazar, these are stable elements used by aliens and the US government for UFO propulsion, capable of producing antigravity fields, though scientists doubt their existence.
- Earthlights: Geological phenomena, electrical discharges linked to tectonic movements, often seen before earthquakes, with a theory suggesting they can explain some UFO sightings.
"Some additional thoughts about the Bible"
Written by Christian Pfeiler, this article delves into a reinterpretation of biblical texts, particularly the "Book of Revelation," through the lens of extraterrestrial influence. Pfeiler posits that the "creation" of humans was a genetic "study" by an extraterrestrial species called "Elohim." He argues that the "Book of Revelation," with its themes of wrath and destruction, contrasts sharply with the "God of Love and Forgiveness" presented in the New Testament, suggesting it aligns more with the "ancient and solid/humanoid plural Elohim gods from the Old Testament." He proposes that the "Revelation" is a constructed vision, possibly intended to mislead humanity or serve as a warning, rather than a genuine prophecy.
Pfeiler divides the alien project "Human Creation" into two parts: the "OT/Adam Project" and the "NT/Jesus Project."
- The "OT/Adam Project": This involved genetic manipulation of prehistoric humans to create an advanced species, with direct interaction and strict control by the Elohim, often resulting in punishment for disobedience, exemplified by the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
- The "NT/Jesus Project": This was an attempt to establish a new agenda of "love and forgiveness" through an ambassador, Jesus Christ, a hybrid being. However, humans rejected this new message, leading to Jesus's death and the failure of the project.
Pfeiler suggests that after Jesus's crucifixion, the Elohim were angry and considered destroying Earth. However, Jesus convinced them to continue the project with modifications. The "Book of Revelation" is presented as a "constructed vision" shown to humans, containing warnings about "evil" (possibly another species) and false prophets, and potentially a hidden message about mankind's true origin.
He interprets the "war in heaven" described in Revelation 12:7-9 as a potential reference to an old struggle between Elohim factions, possibly involving the "Fallen Angels" who came to Earth to create hybrids ("Nephilim"). The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is compared to the "smoke of a great furnace" described in Revelation 9:2, suggesting a similar weapon was used.
Pfeiler also re-examines the symbolism of the serpent in Genesis, suggesting it represented "forbidden truth and knowledge" rather than evil, contrasting with its portrayal as the devil in Revelation. He questions the meaning of the number 666, suggesting it might be a marking or genetic signature related to the artificial creation of humans.
His theory concludes that the Elohim planned to leave Earth and needed a new project that didn't involve their direct physical presence. They created Jesus as a hybrid to establish this new project, but his failure led to a modified plan involving a constructed "vision" of the apocalypse.
"My England trip - a photo report"
This section is mentioned as being written by Christian Pfeiler, but the content is not detailed in the provided text.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine's stance appears to be one of critical inquiry into UFO phenomena and their potential connection to historical and religious texts. There is a strong emphasis on alternative interpretations of biblical narratives, suggesting extraterrestrial influence and advanced technology in ancient times. The editorial tone, particularly from Christian Pfeiler, is passionate and sometimes critical of mainstream explanations and institutional responses (like AOL Germany's closure of forums). The magazine aims to present research, theories, and evidence that challenge conventional understanding, encouraging readers to think critically and explore these complex topics further.
This issue of UFO Research magazine, dated February 1999 (Volume 1999, Issue 1999/2), features a photo report on a trip to England, focusing on ancient sites and their potential connection to UFO phenomena. It also includes a detailed account of the Pascagoula Abduction Case of 1973, an FBI document from 1947, and a book review.
Photo Report: Trip to England
The author recounts a trip to England with friends from the UFO Research group TRUTH, visiting mysterious places in the Southwest of England around Salisbury. While no UFOs were personally sighted, the area is noted for its UFO sightings and paranormal events. The author suggests a connection between ancient sites like stone circles, Ley lines, and the UFO phenomenon.
Silbury Hill
Described as a famous artificial hill, Silbury Hill is an ancient construction of unknown purpose, possibly a tomb or temple, with the author humorously suggesting it could be a 'hidden UFO'. Its appearance is compared to a pyramid.
Westkennet Longbarrow
This ancient tomb, approximately 5000 or 6000 years old, is presented with a photo of its entrance and the author standing in front of it. Craig Roberts from the TRUTH group is also pictured. A photo from inside the tomb shows a strange atmosphere, and another image depicts an offering for earth gods, indicating continued worship.
Avebury
The famous stone circle around the village of Avebury is shown, noted for its smaller stones. The author points out that the construction of Silbury Hill is visible from Avebury, suggesting a connection. A photo shows the author and Craig Roberts in front of larger stones, emphasizing the significant effort required to build the circle.
Sphinx Stone at Avebury
A stone at Avebury, known as the Sphinx stone, is highlighted. With the aid of a mirror, its shape is suggested to resemble the face of an Egyptian Sphinx or statue, though this is presented as imagination.
Stonehenge
The ancient Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plains is described as fascinating but smaller than Avebury. Visitors are restricted to a path around the stones, and part of this path was closed during the author's visit.
Salisbury View
A view of Salisbury from the ruins of Old Sarum castle is presented, with the tower of Salisbury Cathedral visible. The area is reiterated as a prime location for UFO and paranormal events, with questions posed about connections between UFOs, ancient sites, and earth energies.
The Pascagoula Abduction Case 1973
Written by David Fritz, this section details the alleged abduction of Charles Hickson (age 42) and Calvin Parker (age 19) on October 11, 1973, at 9:00 pm near the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. The encounter lasted 20 minutes.
Description of the Object
The object was described as football-shaped, domed, 30 feet long, 8-10 feet high, with two windows and two blue lights. It descended about 30-40 yards away, hovering 2 feet off the ground. A door opened, emitting a brilliant light, and three figures emerged.
Description of the Beings
The beings were described as over 5 feet tall, with heads directly on their shoulders, no necks, pointed noses about 2 inches long, slit mouths, and ear-like appendages. Their arms were long, hands like mittens with a thumb (compared to claws), and their legs were together with elephant-like feet. Their wrinkled skin made it difficult to discern eyes.
The Encounter
Two beings grabbed Hickson, causing a stinging sensation and paralysis. Parker fainted. They were taken into the object, where a football-shaped device scanned Hickson's body. After being returned outside, Hickson and Parker experienced difficulty standing. Hickson heard a 'zipping sound' and a voice in his head stating, 'We are peaceful, We meant you no harm.' Parker recalled a whistling noise and a click before being floated outside, seeing the object shoot upwards.
Independent Confirmation
Larry Booth of Pascagoula reported seeing a large object with red revolving lights hovering 8-10 feet over a street lamp around the same time.
Investigation and Aftermath
Hickson and Parker contacted Keesler Airforce Base, then the Mississippi Press Register, and finally the Jackson County Sheriffs Office. They were interrogated, and despite initial promises of no publicity, reporters arrived. Hickson and Parker underwent breath analysis tests and requested polygraph tests. They were later examined by doctors at Keesler Airforce Base. Debunkers later claimed the hiring of a lawyer and contract signing proved it a hoax, but Hickson reportedly fired the lawyer for seeking personal gain.
Scientists James A. Harder and J. Allen Hynek investigated, with Harder attempting hypnosis without success. Those involved believed Hickson and Parker were telling the truth.
References and Controversy
A remark from 'Chris' notes the Pascagoula case's controversy, with some sceptic books calling it a hoax. The hoax theory is based on the lack of other witnesses, but the remark argues it doesn't explain the witnesses' fear and continued distress.
FBI Document of the Month
Written by Christian Pfeiler, this section presents an FBI document from September 17, 1947, reporting a UFO sighting by a 'Superintendent of Schools' near Lebanon, New Hampshire. The witness described a 'saucer-type' UFO followed closely by a ball-shaped object moving rapidly and noiselessly, too fast to be a weather balloon.
Book Review: "Alien Base" by Timothy Good
Written by Christian Pfeiler, this review discusses Timothy Good's 1998 book 'Alien Base'. The German title 'Top Secret - Die UFO-Akten' is noted as misleading. The book, over 500 pages, includes photos of contactees like George Adamski and Howard Menger. The review criticizes Good's uncritical belief in contactee cases, mentioning that some, like Menger's, were later admitted to be untrue. The book's claim to 'prove the impossible' is deemed an exaggeration, with the review suggesting many stories are fictional and photos are likely fakes or models.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores UFO sightings, alleged abductions, and the potential connections between these phenomena and ancient sites or unexplained events. The editorial stance appears to be open to investigating these topics, presenting witness accounts and official documents, while also acknowledging controversies and skeptical viewpoints, as seen in the Pascagoula case discussion and the book review. There is a recurring theme of questioning the nature of reality and the possibility of extraterrestrial influence or presence.
This issue of UFO Magazine, dated April 2000, features a cover story titled "Alien Implants - do they exist?" written by David Fritz. The magazine explores various facets of the UFO phenomenon, including alleged alien implants, animal mutilations, the role of mystery helicopters, and a philosophical discussion on the evolution of science.
Alien Implants - do they exist?
Written by David Fritz, this section investigates the concept of alien implants, described as small devices placed in a person's body during an alleged alien abduction. The purpose of these implants is unclear, and their existence is yet to be definitively proven. The article highlights the work of Dr. Roger K Leir, a foot doctor, and Derrel Sims, an alien hunter, who are considered experts in this field. Dr. Leir became interested after his father's account of the Roswell Crash. He met Sims at a UFO expo and learned about a case involving a woman whose foot x-ray showed a foreign body. Dr. Leir offered to remove the object for free. Sims also presented x-rays of a man with foreign objects in his hand, which were identified as metallic by a radiologist.
Patricia Damly, abducted in 1969, and Pat Perrinnelo, who may have been abducted in 1954, were sent to Dr. Leir's clinic. Dr. Leir prepared a serum to prevent the objects from vanishing upon removal, a common occurrence in previous implant removals. The procedures were video-taped, with Derrel Sims using hypnosis as a primary anesthetic. Patricia Damly's surgery involved the removal of a small triangular object from her toe, which did not evaporate. Mr. Perrinnelo's procedure, performed by a pseudonymous "Dr. A," resulted in the removal of a grayish object. Analysis of the tissue surrounding the implants was inconclusive, noting that slivers of metal were found at the core. The author expresses an opinion that individuals who believe they have been implanted should seek professional medical help and avoid untrained "experts" in the UFO field.
The KRILL papers (Part 2)
This section, written by O.H. Krill (pseudonym), continues the discussion on cattle mutilations and mysterious unmarked black helicopters. The author advises readers to form their own opinions about the claims presented.
Animal Mutilations and UFOs - General Chronology
The article traces the history of livestock attacks, beginning in 1963 with incidents in Haskell County, Texas, where an Angus bull was found with a slashed throat and a wound in its stomach. These attacks were attributed to a "vanishing varmint," later dubbed "The Haskell Rascal." Sporadic reports of similar attacks, described as "mutilations," continued through the 1960s, with the mutilation death of "Snippy" the horse in Colorado in 1967 being a prominent case, accompanied by UFO sightings. The modern animal mutilation wave is considered to have begun in earnest in 1973, with the majority of reports originating in the central United States. In 1975, an unprecedented onslaught spread across the western two-thirds of the U.S., peaking that year with accounts of UFOs and unidentified helicopters. Mutilation reports increased in 1978, and by 1979, numerous livestock mutilations were occurring in Canada, while U.S. attacks leveled off. Activity in the U.S. increased again in 1980. The article notes that over ten thousand animals have died in the United States due to these mutilations, which have been occurring worldwide with consistent circumstances.
General Observations
Investigations into animal mutilations must consider factors potentially related to the attacks. The "surgery" on the animals is described as precise, suggesting sophisticated implements. The numbing regularity and casual disposal of carcasses indicate a high degree of confidence or arrogance by the perpetrators. A recurring element is the appearance of unmarked, unidentified helicopters near mutilation sites. These helicopters are often described as flying at abnormal altitudes and may exhibit aggressive behavior towards witnesses. They are frequently observed shortly before or after mutilations occur. The article mentions a case described by Virgil Armstrong, where a friend used a special camera with a laser to photograph a UFO, which then stopped and was followed by helicopters.
Another incident involved U.S. military helicopters and disks, as related in the book "UFO Crash at Aztec." An Indian observed helicopters broadcasting a warning for a "dangerous military test" near Area 51, followed by helicopters and a black disk flying in formation. The "Mystery Choppers" section details an event in Madison County, Montana, in 1976, where twenty-two cattle mutilations were accompanied by reports of silent, unmarked, jet-black helicopters. A hunter encountered seven Oriental-appearing men exiting one of these choppers. Similar accounts of Oriental-appearing occupants in unidentified choppers have been documented in England.
How Science has devolve instead of evolve (Part 1)
Written by Roger Anderton, this article posits that science can either add to knowledge or delete it. The author suggests that in the 20th century, science engaged in the latter process, hindering the solution of problems like UFOs. The article traces the historical development of scientific thought, starting with Aristotle's geocentric model and the Pythagorean idea of a moving Earth. It discusses Kepler's discovery of elliptical planetary motion and Galileo's adherence to circular motion. The author highlights Pythagoras as the initiator of the scientific method, but notes that his ideas were not entirely correct. The Principle of Relativity is discussed as a key concept, with the author suggesting that the apparent movement of stars could be explained by the Earth's movement.
The article contrasts two idealized theories: Theory 1, based on true ideas, and Theory 2, based on false ideas. It argues that science can devolve by adding to a central bad idea, citing Aristotelian physics as an example. The current scientific landscape is characterized by the difficulty in unifying General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The author criticizes the foundational idea of Quantum Mechanics that reality does not exist when not observed, calling it "nonsense."
Website tip of the month
This section, written by Christian Pfeiler, recommends Derek Pavely's homepage, which offers information on ufologist courses, the TRUTH group, and stone circles. The URL is provided.
UFO photo of the month
Also by Christian Pfeiler, this feature presents a UFO photo from Argentina, taken on April 9, 1974. Emilio Gonzalez, a fruit grower, witnessed and photographed a dark disc-shaped object flying at low altitude with a strange buzzing sound.
Mail Corner
This section includes two letters. The first is from David F, who responds to an article about the Bible. He suggests that Jesus may have been a hybrid and that alien intervention played a role in human creation. He believes Jesus' resurrection opened the "Gates of the cosmos" for spiritual energy to return to its source. The second letter is from Ray Cecot of IRAAP, who reviews an article about humanity being genetically engineered by extraterrestrials. Ray finds the idea fascinating and not offensive, as long as readers are open-minded.
Preview - in the next issue
The magazine previews upcoming articles for the April issue, including "The true nature of UFO entities" by Gordon Creighton, a CD-ROM review, and a piece on "The German UFO scene."
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained, particularly UFO phenomena, alleged alien encounters, and the scientific and philosophical implications of these topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting controversial theories and evidence while encouraging readers to form their own conclusions. There is a critical examination of established scientific paradigms and a willingness to explore alternative explanations for observed phenomena, as seen in the discussions on alien implants and the philosophy of science. The magazine also emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and seeking professional help when dealing with personal experiences related to these subjects.
