Articles and Features

The Revealing Science of Ufology: An Anatomy of Abduction Correlations (Part Two) By Forest Crawford

This section continues an in-depth analysis of abduction correlations, presenting questions previously asked to abductees and contributions from other researchers. The article addresses the question of 'angel hair,' providing explanations from four independent cases:

• PAT: Attributes 'angel hair' to energy from propulsion systems reacting with toxins in the air.
• John Phillips: Suggests it's a waste product from cloned worker creatures, reacting with propulsion system energy.
• Jean: Describes it as a protective emulsion emitted by the craft's external systems.

The article also delves into the scientific possibility of creating 'amide esters' from proteinaceous material and formic acid, drawing parallels to spider web formation. It then explores further questions posed to abductees regarding their contacts' origins, including the Messier numbers of their home galaxies (M13, M31, M14) and the concept of colonies.

Missouri Ozark Report By Jeanne Robinson, Investigator, MO MUFON

This report details a strange hotbed of UFO activity in Southern Missouri. It begins with the discovery of a large, flattened circle in the grass between Interstate 44 and old Route 66, similar to a crop circle, with an electric pole located within it. The circle is approximately 36 feet in diameter and shows a clockwise pattern. The report notes that the circle was still visible and had become a tourist attraction. Further investigation into three cattle mutilations in the Gainesville area is mentioned, along with an unsuccessful attempt to investigate a mutilation in the Galena area. A significant discovery was made in the Mark Twain National Forest near Hilda, Missouri: mounds of melted plastic-like material embedded in a hillside, resembling a lava flow. This debris, described as greenish-grey plastic and clear insulation plastic, has been given to labs for testing.

New Planet in Neighboring Galaxy By J.L. Palermo, Editor, The UFO Enigma

This article reports on the astronomical discovery of a new planet orbiting a pulsing, dead star approximately 30,000 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. The planet, discovered by astronomers at the University of Manchester, is estimated to have a mass 10 times that of Earth. The discovery was made by analyzing fluctuations in radio signals from the neutron star, a pulsar named PSR1829-10, which orbits its star every 182 days. Deviations in the pulsar's spin indicated the gravitational tug of a massive object, likely a planet. The planet is in a circular orbit about 70 million miles from its star, with its orbit taking six months.

The Bureaucracy - A Case of UFO Espionage

This excerpt from 'Just Cause' details the experience of Airman Simone Mendez, who had a lifelong interest in UFOs. Her interest led to her being grilled by an FBI agent after NORAD detected unknown objects entering Earth's atmosphere and heading towards the Soviet Union. This exposure led to her career being re-directed to clerk-type jobs that did not require security clearances.

What Did They Know?

This section compiles statements and reports regarding official interest and classification of UFO phenomena. It includes quotes from Astronaut Cooper, General Nathan Twining's secret memo from 1947 discussing 'Flying Discs,' and letters from Senator Barry Goldwater expressing his attempts to gain access to classified UFO information at Wright-Patterson AFB. The article suggests that Project Blue Book was a public relations effort and that the real investigation was conducted elsewhere.

UFO Study Group 1990-91 Officers and Board of Directors

A list of the officers and board members of the UFO Study Group of Greater St. Louis is provided, along with details about the publication 'The Enigma' and its membership information.

Abduction Correlations (Continued)

This section continues the discussion on abduction correlations, referencing M13, M31, M92, and M45 as potential origins for alien beings. It touches upon the star Pi in the Hercules constellation and the movement of our solar system. The article also presents a reference to 'The World of Science, Volume 9' regarding M13. It further discusses a race of beings referred to as 'Sons of Arkmedia' and lists individual stars that have been named.

How Do You Use Light?

Alien contactees explain the multifaceted uses of light by their species, including nutrition, healing, travel, and self-propulsion. They describe light fusion as a method of travel and the transformation of light energy into fuel. Debbie Tomie mentions light's role in healing tissue and disassembling molecules, while Jean describes it as a means of self-propulsion and travel through the universe.

How Do You Eat and/or Drink?

Different alien species describe their methods of consumption. 'Greys' are described as absorbing nutrients through their skin and soft tissue, similar to plant life or advanced mushrooms. They do not drink in the human sense, absorbing fluids through their mouths. Their method is described as similar to photosynthesis, requiring light and mineral substances not found on Earth.

Sociological: How Many Species or Races Visit Earth? Are Their Goals Different?

Alien contactees report the presence of nine different species or races visiting Earth. While most are described as gentle scientists or explorers, one breed, the 'Evil Ones,' is characterized as lovers of violence and carnage, thriving on chaos and the suffering of others. Another described race is an insectoid type, and a third is a tall Grey being, often referred to as elders or a higher spiritual advancement.

Do You Have Music, Comedy, Theatre?

Aliens describe their 'music' as geometric combinations and light patterns, pleasing and soothing. They can reproduce human music but find much of it irritating due to noise pollution. Theatre is used for educational purposes, and while they don't have theatrical comedy, they experience humor and amusement.

Predictions

Thirteen abductees were asked about the future. By the end of 1992, it is predicted that UFO sightings, landings, and contacts will be so numerous that the UFO question will be resolved. Secondary predictions include catastrophic natural disasters. Oscar specifically mentions a large asteroid strike in 2054 if preventive measures are not taken.

Philosophical: How Do You Relate to the Supreme Being (God)?

Alien perspectives on God vary. Jean views God as the life essence of the universe, emphasizing respect for all life. Debbie Tomie sees God as the SPIRIT, the beginning and base of all existence, with Jesus as a messenger. Lynn defines 'The Power (God)' as the Law of the Universe, granting gifts of awareness, understanding, and free will. The common thread is a focus on oneness, understanding, and the responsibility that comes with free will.

Book Review: Mankind: Citizen of the Galaxy By Marjorie Osiek

This review discusses Kenneth C. McColloch's book, which covers a wide range of topics from pre-history to present-day technology, including myths, legends, ancient texts, and extraterrestrial involvement in human history. It touches upon topics like the pyramids, the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, and the Hollow Earth theory, suggesting that much ancient technology has been lost and is being rediscovered.
