Belgian UFO Sightings: "I BELGI VEDONO OVNI DAPPERTUTTO"
The lead article reports on an unidentified flying object (UFO) recently observed in southern Belgium. Two witnesses managed to film the phenomenon, described as a luminous triangular object with multiple intense light sources. The Belgian Air Force confirmed that no AWACS radar aircraft were in the vicinity, and the proximity of the phenomenon made confusion with conventional aircraft or helicopters unlikely. The report details an account from two farmers who, on March 12th, observed a dark, imposing, oval-shaped mass, approximately 30 meters long, with three pulsing white lights at the front. The central light projected a beam downwards, illuminating the ground. The object hovered near a farm before turning horizontally and stopping above the Tihange power plant. The UFO was subsequently seen again by the farmers and other witnesses. Furthermore, the article mentions that on the night of March 30-31, 1990, two Belgian F-16 aircraft detected a UFO on their radar whose movements were unlike any aircraft. The SOBEPS organization has collected 1,504 UFO testimonies since November 1989.
UFO Abductions and Government Secrecy: "Connersville man says UFOs aren't imaginary"
This section features an interview with Don Worley, a UFO researcher with over 25 years of experience, formerly a special investigator for the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). Worley discusses the case of 'Rhonda' (not her real name), who claims to have been taken aboard an alien spaceship 17 years prior. Rhonda described seeing a bright light that descended, revealing an oval spacecraft and an alien. Later, she experienced a mental image of being inside the vessel with other aliens at the controls. Worley believes these experiences are not mere tours but experiments conducted by aliens. He asserts that many people worldwide share similar stories, indicating a purpose behind alien actions, though the exact nature remains a profound question. Worley is convinced UFOs are real, despite never having seen more than "lights in the sky." He expresses alarm at the increasing number of reported abductions and suggests that aliens may be adept at erasing memories, though some individuals recall events through dreams or psychic abilities. Worley theorizes that aliens are interested in human reproduction and may seek to "re-create us somewhere else." He criticizes the government's silence on the matter, stating that officials are unwilling to admit the truth for fear of societal upheaval and because they feel defenseless. Worley remains vigilant, believing the phenomenon is ongoing and potentially increasing.
Historical UFO Landing Patterns in France
This article details research by Jean Charles Fumoux into a series of 76 UFO landing sites recorded in France between September 24 and October 18, 1954. Gendarmes meticulously documented each landing, recording location, time, dimensions of impressions, and soil conditions. Experts like Aime Michel and Paul Misraki mapped these sites, revealing that many could be connected by straight lines. Fumoux's analysis, later verified by ONRS researcher Jean Francois Gille, showed that these landing sites formed geometric patterns, predominantly isosceles triangles. The average distance between sites was found to be approximately 63 kilometers, and the distances between points were multiples of 21 centimeters, possibly related to the hydrogen wavelength. Fumoux's findings suggested a deliberate selection of sites, possibly forming a mathematical message based on the factor Pi, a concept known to ancient civilizations. The article notes that the number 76 has historical significance in astronomical cycles and ancient calculations.
"VISITATORI MISTERIOSI" by Maurice Chatelain
Maurice Chatelain, a former NASA scientist involved in the Apollo space systems, discusses his shift in perspective on UFOs. Initially skeptical and aware of the professional risks of discussing the topic within NASA, he later learned from French scientists about serious investigations into UFOs by European intelligence agencies. Chatelain notes that NASA has since acknowledged the existence of UFOs and admits to not knowing their origin. He highlights the growing discussion of UFOs in reputable scientific circles, citing researchers like Jacques Vallee. The article posits the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations and suggests that establishing contact, perhaps through mathematical signals, is logical. It mentions that some messages may have already been received but gone unnoticed. Chatelain emphasizes the distinction between official science, which may be hesitant to accept such phenomena, and independent researchers who are more open.
"Close encounters for Q'town!" by Dr. Jan Pajak
Dr. Jan Pajak, a Polish scientist living in Dunedin, New Zealand, claims to have identified several UFO landing sites in Queenstown Gardens and the surrounding district. He has photographed mysterious circular marks in fields and on hillsides, similar to those found in crop circles elsewhere. Pajak identifies these marks as being left by a specific type of spacecraft called the 'Magnocraft,' which he invented. He describes the 'Magnocraft' as a magnetically-propelled vehicle intended for construction on Earth by 2036. Pajak is organizing a UFO seminar in Queenstown, promising "formal proof" of UFO existence, including videos and testimonies from abductees, and a field trip to landing sites. He notes that these landing sites often exhibit perfectly circular shapes, burnt or bare soil, and sometimes square cuttings where soil samples appear to have been removed. He believes aliens are keenly interested in Earth and that the planet may be approaching a critical turning point.
UFO...ABDUCTION: A TRUE STORY
This section advertises a VHS video titled "UFO...Abduction, una storia vera" (UFO...Abduction, A True Story). The video is described as a documentary examining one man's experiences before, during, and after a UFO abduction, featuring clear photos of the craft, supporting witnesses, and hypnotic regression sessions. It is available for $43.95, postage included, from Genesis III Publishing.
Keyhoe Journalism Award 1990
The Fund for UFO Research Inc. announced the winners of the Donald E. Keyhoe Journalism Award for 1990. Sharon Santus won for her article "Kecksburg UFO Seen at AF Bases," and George Knapp received the award for his television series "UFOS: The Best Evidence?" Vicki Cooper and John T. Witt received honorable mentions for their work on UFO-related topics.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO EXPRESS revolve around the persistent presence and investigation of UFO phenomena worldwide. There is a strong emphasis on evidence, whether through witness testimony, photographic documentation, radar data, or physical traces. The magazine highlights the efforts of independent researchers and organizations like SOBEPS and the Fund for UFO Research in gathering and disseminating information, often in contrast to what is perceived as government reticence or secrecy. The concept of alien intelligence and their potential motives, including experimentation and reproduction, is explored. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and a belief in the importance of public awareness regarding UFOs, encouraging readers to consider the evidence presented.
Title: UFO EXPRESS
Issue Date: March 1991
Publisher: Gabbiola
Country of Publication: Italy
Language: Italian
This issue of UFO EXPRESS, dated March 1991, delves into a variety of anomalous phenomena, with a strong focus on electromagnetic fields, UFO sightings, and speculative theories about future human evolution.
The Electromagnetic Barrier
The lead article, "La barriera elettromagnetica" (The Electromagnetic Barrier) by Daniele Pioli, explores the concept of electromagnetic fields and their potential influence on human consciousness and reality. It begins by referencing the famous Philadelphia Experiment of 1943 and the 1980 Ferlini Experiment, both of which involved powerful electromagnetic or magnetic fields and produced unusual results. The article posits that the study of these fields, along with gravitational fields, is crucial for understanding the hidden dimensions of space and time.
It touches upon Albert Einstein's work on relativity and unified field theory, questioning the extent of his discoveries before his death and suggesting that his reluctance to publish certain findings might have been due to a sense of responsibility for the destructive potential of atomic energy and other discoveries.
The article details the Philadelphia Experiment, involving the USS Eldridge, which allegedly became invisible and teleported. It mentions the involvement of scientists like John von Neumann and the supervision of Harold G. Bowen. The experiment is described as creating a powerful electromagnetic field around the ship, leading to its disappearance and reappearance in a different location, accompanied by a green mist and disastrous effects on the crew.
It also discusses the Ferlini Experiment, where an Italian engineer, G.B. Ferlini, conducted research using powerful magnets to create a critical area that produced surprising effects, including a greenish-blue mist and the smell of ozone. The experiment is linked to theories about the creation of a possible hypothetical field and the potential for space-time or hyper-dimensional implications.
UFO Sightings and Reports
The issue includes several reports of UFO sightings:
- Chiasso, Switzerland: A triangular UFO was observed hovering for several minutes before moving at high speed towards Italy. Witnesses described it as dark with two large, luminous portholes at its base.
- Verscio, Switzerland: Giovanni Caverzasio and Gianroberto Cavalli reported seeing a luminous, disc-shaped object with two side protrusions moving erratically before accelerating away at high speed. The object was described as reflecting a strong blue-electric to grey light.
- Fiji: A group of scuba divers discovered what they believe to be the remains of four prehistoric reptilian creatures in a remote underwater cave. The adult skulls were about 1 meter long, with a total body length of 8-10 meters. These creatures are described as bearing no resemblance to any known marine life and are speculated to be either prehistoric or unknown species.
- Jesi, Italy: A letter from Prof.ssa Valeria Pistelli describes a luminous object seen on December 13, 1986, which initially appeared round and golden but then took the shape of an hourglass with sharp points, moving vertically and silently before ascending rapidly and disappearing.
Scientific and Parapsychological Research
The magazine highlights ongoing research in parapsychology and related fields:
- Parapsychologists Announce: An article reports on the XIV International Congress of Psychic Studies in Riccione, Italy, where parapsychologists aim to gain wider acceptance for their field. It mentions studies on communication with the afterlife, including receiving messages via fax and recordings of 'voices from beyond.' Professor Ernst Senkhowski's work with recordings and images from the deceased is highlighted, as is the research of magistrate Felice Masi, who claims to have detected an entity in a film.
- Crystal Skulls: A brief mention is made of a book, "Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed," which investigates the parapsychology, metaphysics, and archaeology of eight famous crystal skulls.
Future Evolution Theories
An article titled "Dopo l'uomo verranno i mostri" (After man will come monsters) by Romeo Bassoli discusses the theories of paleontologist Dougal Dixon. Dixon, in his book "Man after Man," speculates on the future of humanity in a world devastated by environmental collapse. He proposes that humans might resort to genetic manipulation to create new species, or 'Homo novus,' adapted to survive in extreme conditions. These future beings, such as 'Aquamorphs' (aquatic humans) and 'Vacuomorphs' (adapted for zero gravity), are described as having altered physical characteristics. The article suggests that humanity itself might eventually be replaced by these genetically engineered beings, with only a few individuals escaping to space.
It also touches upon the idea that evolution is a random and unpredictable process, citing examples of past evolutionary experiments by nature. The article contrasts Dixon's theories with those of Louis Thaler, who suggests that increased stress might lead to genetic evolution and a more resilient, but potentially degenerate, human species.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO EXPRESS are the unexplained phenomena related to UFOs and electromagnetic fields, the potential for advanced technologies to manipulate reality, and speculative theories about the future of humanity and evolution. The magazine appears to present these topics with a degree of seriousness, citing scientific research, experiments, and witness testimonies, while also acknowledging the speculative nature of some of the discussions, particularly concerning future evolution and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into anomalous phenomena, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional scientific understanding.
