This issue of The UFO Enigma delves into various aspects of ufology and parapsychology, featuring reports on meetings, conferences, and personal accounts of alleged alien encounters.

Parapsychology Potpourri

The section "Parapsychology Potpourri," by John E. Schroeder, covers a meeting of the Parapsychology Committee. Walter Palmer presented a review of Budd Hopkins' book on UFO abduction deception. Palmer recounted interviews with Howard Blum and Whitley Strieber, noting Blum's mention of UFOs overflying U.S. military bases and a group paid to gather UFO data. Strieber claimed to have revealed only a fraction of his experiences due to their bizarre nature. John Schroeder mentioned Blum's report that the military had downed UFOs. Warren Bartling discussed a recent earthquake along the New Madrid Fault, suggesting that a basketball-sized glowing globe of light traversed some secondary faults during the event. Geologists suggested pressure of rock movement produced static electricity balls that moved along fault lines. Bartling also noted that sun flares can create electromagnetic fields that distort radio and television reception, sometimes manifesting as pink or purple globes of light. Tom Sinople proposed collecting narratives to test the hypothesis that solar flares affect human brains and increase ESP powers, inviting readers to share their experiences.

Conference Report: "Show Me UFO/IAC"

J.L. Palermo reports on the "Show Me UFO/IAC" Conference, describing it as captivating. Despite issues such as the theft of video duplication equipment, the conference was deemed successful. Tom Sullivan provided a rescue solution with his camcorder for recording sessions. Those interested in purchasing video tapes of the talks can do so for $18.00 plus shipping, with proceeds supporting researchers.

The conference aimed to unravel ufological facts to better understand alien involvement in human lives. It was attended by 500-700 patrons, with media coverage from KMOV-TV and a Decatur, Illinois television station. Conference founder Bruce Widaman designed two-hour breaks between sessions to enhance interaction between speakers and attendees, fostering ufology growth and information exchange. Thanks were extended to Dan Wright for assistance and Bruce Maccabee for recovering his misplaced materials. Future issues will feature articles on the conference speakers.

Alien Knowledge Transfere

Lorne Goldfeather, President of UFORIC, discusses a method of communication used by beings called "Watchers." He explains how tryptophan, found in bananas, figs, and dates, is converted to seratonin (a neurochemical transmitter) with the help of Vitamins B7 and C. Seratonin, similar in structure to LSD but without hallucinations, programs the nervous system. The pineal gland, or "third eye," is described as a valve regulating thought flow, receiving information about light and dark, and acting as the seat of psychic power. Melanin, derived from seratonin, determines skin pigment. Seratonin acts as a timing mechanism and relay station for consciousness and sleep regulation. Light absorbed by the pineal via the optic nerve is crucial. "Watchers" transmit information via peptides, which are strings of amino acids forming a genetic alphabet. They utilize a "Genetic Signalling System" (both World Population Broadcasts and Individually Targeted Systems) to trigger evolutionary growth patterns, aiming to create a unified bio-planetary nervous system by modulating thoughts, emotions, and soul blueprints. Estera, a "Watcher," communicated directly into Goldfeather's brain via a beam of energy transmitted to the pineal gland, entering through the optic nerve, which releases seratonin and melanin to translate messages into physical response. This process, aided by tryptophan intake, induces a deeply relaxed theta state. The pineal gland acts as a relay station for psychotronic impulses from UFOs. The amino acids are influenced by the craft's flashing lights, with one flash potentially containing hundreds of high-speed transmissions. Cellular information is transmitted on the energy beam carrier wave with neurochemical on/off binary codes, effectively feeding knowledge like a bio-computer.

UFO Study Group of Greater St. Louis Activities

Several upcoming meetings are announced: a Parapsychology Committee meeting on November 5th at John Schroeder's home, a UFO Study Group of Greater St. Louis meeting on November 11th at Tyler Place Presbyterian Church, and a St. Charles UFO Research Committee meeting on November 20th at the Beanery Restaurant.

Study Group Hears First Hand from Rosemary Osnato

J.L. Palermo recounts a meeting where Rosemary Osnato shared her experience of being "taken" by aliens in 1972. She described a blue beam lifting her from her New York City apartment and a period of at least 48-72 hours spent in a desert setting. The entrance to the alien craft was a large lake. She was returned home by automobile. Osnato is involved with Budd Hopkins' "INTRUDERS FOUNDATION."

The Meier Chronicles

The issue includes a review of a video tape, "The Meier Chronicles," a documentary about the Billy Meier case from Switzerland. The Mutual UFO Network, Inc. considers the case a fraud due to some photos appearing to be of a model. The video is described as an attempted documentary. The review notes correlations between Meier's description of a signal indicating alien craft proximity and Ed Walters' similar accounts, both mentioning a humming in the head. A specific super-8 film footage of a craft hovering is highlighted as convincing, with the reviewer, a filmmaker, stating that sophisticated special effects would have been necessary to fake it, problems that Maccabee noted in Ed Walters' photos.

Request for Article Submissions

J.L. (Joe) Palermo, Enigma Editor, encourages readers to submit their thoughts, ideas, and research for publication. The Enigma serves as a forum for ufology, parapsychology, Bigfoot, and psychic realm topics. Submissions are due by the 20th of each month.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the investigation and reporting of UFO sightings and related phenomena. It encourages active participation from its readership through article submissions and membership. The editorial stance appears to be open to exploring various hypotheses and personal accounts within the field of ufology and parapsychology, while also acknowledging skepticism and the need for critical analysis, as seen in the discussion of the Billy Meier case and the mention of MUFON's stance.
