Our Group Members

Written by Ray Cecot, this section introduces the author, who resides in Albany, New York. Cecot, aged 52, has had an interest in "unusual" events since his college days and became more involved in UFO research in 1992 after an unexplained sighting. He was a member of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) from 1992 to 1997, serving as a Section Director. In 1997, he founded the Independent Researchers' Association for Anomalous Phenomena (IRAAP), serving as its Organizational Director. Cecot explains that his motivation for founding IRAAP was to view the UFO puzzle as broader than just sightings, encompassing crop formations, animal mutilations, Bigfoot, alien abductions, and ancient civilizations. He highlights the role of the internet in facilitating communication and mentions Angie Mogavero as IRAAP's webmaster, Secretary, and Technical Advisor.

UFO Dictionary

Written by Christian Pfeiler, this is the ninth part of the UFO dictionary, covering terms starting with 'I' and 'J'.

• Implants: Small artificial objects allegedly implanted in abductees, with unproven existence and unknown purpose.
• IAC (Identified Alien Craft): A term reportedly used by the US government to describe UFOs belonging to identified alien species, mentioned in relation to Milton W. Cooper's MJ-12 statement.
• "Interrupted Journey, The": A 1961 book by John Fuller about the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case.
• JANET: The unofficial name of a suspected governmental airline flying between Las Vegas and Area 51/Groomlake, possibly meaning "Joint Army Navy Employee Transport".
• JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory): A NASA laboratory in Pasadena rumored to have been involved in analyzing recovered UFO material.

The Book of Exodus or "Project Genetic Separation"

This is a significant article by Christian Pfeiler that reinterprets the biblical Book of Exodus through an extraterrestrial and genetic engineering lens. Pfeiler expresses concern about the terms "selection," "separation," and "genetic purity" due to their negative connotations, especially in Germany, but insists on using them to illustrate his theory of artificial human creation by extraterrestrials.

He argues that the UFO phenomenon is not new but has followed mankind throughout its development. If UFOs are piloted by alien beings observing humanity since its dawn, then their motives must be sought in history and religious writings, particularly the Bible, as technological actions of advanced races would have been perceived as divine acts by ancient peoples. Pfeiler believes this approach is not blasphemous but a search for truth about human creation.

The article focuses on the second book of Moses, the "Book of Exodus," suggesting it was part of an "Elohim" plan for human development, involving the "separation" of a chosen tribe (Israelites) for genetic reasons. He posits that the events described, including the creation narrative in the first book of Moses, involved genetic engineering and artificial enhancement of ape-like creatures, with initial problems like forbidden sexual relations and the creation of hybrids (Nephilim).

Pfeiler interprets the narrative of God sending Moses to free the Israelites not as divine mercy but as a necessary step in the "Project" to move the chosen tribe to a remote, controllable area for further stages of genetic separation. He highlights the use of terms like "slay" and "kill" in Exodus, indicating a violent attitude of the Elohim prioritizing the "Project" over human lives. The ten plagues are viewed as a paradox, as God allegedly knew Pharaoh would refuse to let the Israelites go.

The article also discusses biblical descriptions of divine appearances, such as the pillar of cloud and fire, and the descent on Mount Sinai, interpreting them as strategic "presentations/laser/lightshows" to demonstrate divine power and enforce commandments. The commandments themselves are seen as a form of conditioning to maintain a lower level of education and control the population. Pfeiler specifically analyzes the commandment against witches, suggesting it might refer to individuals who remembered forbidden knowledge or technology, and the commandment against bestiality, linking it to concerns about genetic purity and preventing cross-breeding.

Finally, Pfeiler summarizes the key points: the first book of Moses described artificial human creation, there's a time gap between the first and second books of Moses, and the "Book of Exodus" details a genetic separation project.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the reinterpretation of historical and religious texts, particularly the Bible, through the lens of UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial influence. The editorial stance, as exemplified by Christian Pfeiler's extensive article on Exodus, is to question traditional religious explanations and propose a scientific, albeit speculative, framework involving alien intervention and genetic engineering in human history. There is a clear skepticism towards conventional interpretations of divine actions, favoring a technological and biological explanation for biblical events. The magazine also aims to foster a community of researchers, as indicated by Ray Cecot's contribution and the mention of an online archive and email communication.

This issue of UFO+PSI, identified as the thirteenth issue, delves into a variety of UFO-related topics, including unconventional interpretations of biblical events, personal sighting accounts, reviews of significant UFO literature, and purported government documents.

Unconventional Biblical Interpretations

The issue opens with a speculative, non-religious interpretation of the biblical Exodus. The author posits that the main purpose of the Exodus was a genetic separation of a specific tribe, suggesting that the plagues might symbolize a war between gods and that the journey into the wilderness of Sinai was part of this genetic separation. The commandments are also reinterpreted as having deeper biological, psychological, and technological meanings that were later simplified into a strict religious context. The author acknowledges this as an unproven theory but believes it may hold some truth, suggesting a potential link between religious texts and UFO phenomena.

A biblical quote from Exodus 20:5-6 is included, which reads: "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

Personal UFO Sighting and Witness Accounts

Mike Hallowell recounts his first distinct UFO sighting experience from his youth in Grange Road, Jarrow. He describes observing the stars blinking out and then seeing a large, dark, and silent object drifting through the sky, which he felt was hiding the stars. He expresses that this experience was awe-inspiring and life-changing. Hallowell also reflects on the difficulty UFO witnesses face in being believed, noting that many are labeled as deluded or mentally unstable, and some dedicate their lives to seeking validation only to die disappointed.

The article mentions the recent buzz around "smoking gun" footage but expresses personal unimpressedness, finding footage from Nellist AFB more impressive due to the UFO's rapid maneuvers and shape-shifting capabilities. However, it is suggested that sometimes ordinary, mundane reports are more convincing.

An account from October 1, 1948, details a UFO sighting over Hector Airport in Fargo, North Dakota. A report from the Commanding General of Air Materiel Command describes the object as symmetrical, round, and consistently ball-shaped, sometimes appearing flat-plate. The report notes that the shape did not vary.

FBI Document of the Month

This section, written by Christian Pfeiler, presents a document from the FBI archive dated September 19, 1947. It refers to a "restricted" letter from September 3, 1947, which could not be found. The document is noted for suggesting that the Air Force was primarily responsible for investigating "important" UFO sightings, while the FBI would only handle "not important" and "ridiculous" cases.

Review: J. Allen Hynek's "The UFO Experience"

Christian Pfeiler reviews J. Allen Hynek's 1972 book, "The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry." Despite its age and the author's passing, Pfeiler considers it one of the best UFO books ever written. He highlights that the book predates the sensationalism of shows like "X-Files" and was written when UFO research was treated seriously by scientists. Unlike many contemporary books, Hynek's work focuses on the experiences of ordinary witnesses and their reports, avoiding conspiracy theories or faked evidence. Hynek is described as a scientist with an open mind, neither a strict skeptic nor a believer, who approached the subject scientifically. The book is divided into three parts: "The UFO Phenomenon," "The Data and the Problem" (including Hynek's classification of Close Encounters), and "Where Do We Go from Here" (discussing Air Force involvement and the Condon report).

Hynek's conclusion is quoted: "When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum jump."
The appendix includes a list of sightings, private letters, and a skeptical analysis of the Papua-Father Gill case by Dr. Donald Menzel.

The KRILL Papers (Part 6)

Written by O.H. Krill (pseudonym), this installment continues the KRILL papers, featuring a satellite image of Area 51 in Nevada. The author notes the increasing weirdness of the story and suggests looking for similarities with the Dulce papers and the Lacerta Files, particularly concerning copper.

The Dulce Papers and Underground Bases

The article details Bennewitz's findings, obtained through regressive hypnosis and communication with a purported UFO-related source, about an underground facility located a kilometer beneath Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico. This installation is described as a joint operation between the U.S. government and EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities). Other underground bases are mentioned at Kirtland AFB, Holloman AFB, and internationally, including Bentwaters, England.

Following a briefing to Air Force officials, a trip to the Dulce area revealed a government road leading to five-sided buildings with domes. A CIA vehicle was noted, and a launch site with two wrecked ships, 36 feet long with wings, powered by plutonium pellets, was observed. The base has reportedly been operational since 1948, with refueling occurring at Los Alamos.

Some disks are piloted by the NSA, and the base is 4,000 feet long with constant helicopter activity. Mutilations in the area reportedly stopped when Bennewitz became known. In 1979, the base was temporarily closed after an argument over weapons, resulting in the deaths of 66 people, with 44 escaping. One escapee, a CIA agent, went into hiding after gathering notes, photos, and videotapes.

The "Dulce Papers," received by researchers in December 1987, consist of photos, a videotape, and technical papers detailing the jointly occupied facility. It is believed that four similar facilities exist, including one near Groom Lake, Nevada. The papers discuss copper, molybdenum, magnesium, and potassium, and describe aliens absorbing atoms for nourishment. They also detail the alteration of DNA in cattle and humans to create temporary "almost human beings" through genetic manipulation and computer-simulated memory. These beings are described as lab animals, used for experimentation and breeding with humans. Some humans are reportedly kidnapped for complete use, kept in tubes, and brainwashed. Male humans with high sperm counts are used to alter DNA and create "Type Two" beings, which resemble "ugly humans" but grow to look normal within months and have short lifespans. Female humans are used for breeding, and fetuses are used to mix DNA for types one and two, resulting in a hybrid that cannot survive in the womb.

The review of the "Dulce Papers" includes reproductions of photos, illustrations of wombs and tubes, diagrams of crystalline metal, and hexagonal crystals.

Geomagnetic Anomalies and UFOs

Lew Tery's research on UFOs and geomagnetic anomalies is presented. After analyzing aeromagnetic and gravitational anomaly maps, Tery found a connection between these areas and UFOs. His lecture on this topic led to harassment by the FBI, who deemed the information "sensitive." The maps indicate that areas of maximum and minimum field strength frequently coincide with UFO sightings, are often located on Indian Reservations or government land, and are suspected base areas or sites of mutilations and abductions.

Tery also noted a correlation between UFO sightings, abductions, and mutilations occurring during specific lunar phases: the new moon (or two days prior), the full moon (or two days prior), and the perihelion (or two days prior).

Website Tip of the Month

The website tip highlights UFO ONLINE, the largest Italian UFO website in English, offering articles, photos, and links related to UFO incidents in Italy and Europe.

UFO Photo of the Month

A photo from September 5, 1955, shows a strange cloud observed by Dr. Achilles Greco of the Brazilian Navy during a fishing trip. The cloud dissipated to reveal a large, disc-shaped metallic craft inside.

Mail Corner and Book Announcement

The Mail Corner features an email from Jessica Pigza of the University of Kansas Press, announcing the publication of "UFOS AND ABDUCTIONS: CHALLENGING THE BORDERS OF KNOWLEDGE," edited by David Jacobs. This book brings together prominent researchers to discuss the history and latest research in UFO and abduction phenomena. It covers topics such as UFO evidence, government and military reactions, methodological debates, and the use of various disciplines in UFO research. The book includes contributions from well-known authors like Budd Hopkins and John Mack. It is available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO+PSI demonstrates a consistent interest in exploring the intersection of unexplained phenomena with established narratives, particularly biblical accounts. The magazine appears to favor unconventional, often speculative, interpretations that challenge mainstream scientific and religious views. There is a strong emphasis on presenting evidence, whether through personal testimony, purported government documents, or book reviews, while also acknowledging the controversial nature of the subject matter. The editorial stance seems to encourage critical thinking and independent investigation, as evidenced by the inclusion of various perspectives and the call for readers to form their own opinions. The recurring themes include the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement in human history, government secrecy surrounding UFOs, and the scientific study of anomalous phenomena.

The issue concludes with a thank you to readers and an announcement for the fourteenth issue, to be published on September 12, 2000.

This issue of UFO Universe magazine, dated December 1977, prominently features the headline "THE GREATEST UFO COVER-UP OF ALL TIME!" The cover art depicts a classic flying saucer hovering over a desert landscape with a beam of light descending.

Contents and Key Articles

The magazine delves deeply into the concept of a widespread government cover-up regarding UFO phenomena. It presents a collection of articles, interviews, and analyses from prominent figures in the UFO research community, alongside critiques from skeptics.

The UFO Cover-Up

Central to this issue is the assertion that governments, particularly the United States, have actively concealed evidence and information about UFOs and potential extraterrestrial visitation. The magazine highlights historical incidents that are often cited as examples of this cover-up, including:

• The Roswell Incident (July 1947): The alleged crash of a UFO near Roswell, New Mexico, and the subsequent military recovery of debris and possibly alien bodies, followed by official explanations that shifted over time.
• Washington D.C. Sightings (July 1952): A series of unexplained aerial objects observed over the U.S. capital, tracked by radar and witnessed by numerous individuals, including military personnel.
• The Kecksburg Incident (December 1965): The sighting and alleged crash of a large, metallic, acorn-shaped object in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, which was reportedly secured by military forces.
• The Victorville Encounter (September 1976): A reported encounter between two U.S. Air Force pilots and a disc-shaped object that demonstrated superior flight capabilities.

Key Figures and Perspectives

The magazine features contributions and mentions of numerous key figures in the UFO field, representing a spectrum of views:

• Proponents of the Cover-Up Theory: Figures like Stanton Friedman (Nuclear Physicist and UFO Investigator), Donald Keyhoe (UFO Investigator), and Richard H. Hall (UFO Researcher) are presented as advocates for the existence of UFOs and a government cover-up. Friedman is quoted stating, "The evidence is overwhelming that UFOs are real and that the United States government has been engaged in a massive cover-up for decades."
• Researchers and Investigators: J. Allen Hynek (Director of the Center for UFO Studies), Jacques Vallee (Computer Scientist and UFO Researcher), Budd Hopkins (UFO Investigator), Jim and Coral Lorenzen (Founders of ARE), Walter Andrus (Founder of MUFON), and John Keel (UFO Investigator) are discussed for their extensive work in documenting and analyzing UFO sightings and encounters.
• Skeptics: Philip Klass, a notable skeptic and UFO investigator, is likely presented as a counterpoint, offering alternative explanations for sightings.
• Historical Figures: The legacy of Charles Fort, a researcher of anomalous phenomena, and broadcasters like Frank Edwards are acknowledged for their roles in bringing unusual events to public attention.

UFO Characteristics and Evidence

The magazine details the characteristics of reported UFOs, including:

• Shapes: Disc, cigar, triangle, sphere, oval, boomerang.
• Colors: White, metallic, glowing, red, blue, green.
• Size: Ranging from small to enormous.
• Behavior: Hovering, rapid ascent, silent movement, erratic patterns, formation flying, emitting light beams.
• Speed: Extremely fast, supersonic, instantaneous.
• Altitude: From low to high altitudes.
• Effects: Electromagnetic interference, engine stalling, electrical disturbances, magnetic effects.
• Physical Traces: Scorched earth, flattened vegetation, metallic fragments, radiation, landing impressions.

Organizations such as the Center for UFO Studies, ARE, MUFON, NICAP, and historical projects like Project Blue Book are mentioned in the context of UFO research and investigation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The overarching theme of this issue is the persistent belief in a significant cover-up of UFO information by governmental and military entities. The editorial stance appears to align with the view that UFOs are a genuine phenomenon, and that official explanations have often been misleading or incomplete. The magazine aims to present evidence and arguments that support the existence of UFOs and the hypothesis of a deliberate suppression of truth, encouraging readers to question official narratives and explore the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. The content spans a period from the 1940s through the 1970s, reflecting the growing public interest and ongoing debate surrounding UFOs during that era.
