UFO International - No 22

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO INTERNATIONAL
Issue: NO. 22
Date: MARCH-APRIL, 1965
Publisher: Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc.

This issue of UFO INTERNATIONAL presents a collection of communications and reports related to UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and broader societal issues. The central theme revolves around messages from extraterrestrial beings, offering guidance and insights into humanity's future.

Special Message from Master Kalen-Li

The issue prominently features a special message from Master Kalen-Li of the planet Korendor, delivered at Buck Nelson's Spacecraft Convention. Kalen-Li addresses the perceived decline of the saucer movement, assuring readers that extraterrestrial activity is, in fact, increasing. They are working covertly, establishing underground bases worldwide, and gradually influencing human society. The message explains the scarcity of UFO news by citing press censorship, but promises a grand aerial display within three years to prove their existence.

Kalen-Li also discusses the global political landscape, advocating for the United Nations as the sole authority to prevent war. This involves strengthening the UN, admitting all nations (including Communist China), and ensuring UN decisions are binding. A multipoint plan is outlined to achieve world unity through the UN, including the establishment of a UN-controlled military force and the eventual replacement of money-based economics with Universal Economics.

Universal Economics

The concept of Universal Economics is further elaborated upon, presented as a solution to poverty, debt, and war. It is described as a system that would provide wealth, security, and eliminate the need for conflict driven by economic scarcity. Readers are directed to contact Gabriel Green at AFSCA for more information.

Ranger 7 Rocket Report

A special radio message received by Bob Renaud from Lin-Erri details the success of the Ranger 7 mission. It reveals that extraterrestrials briefly interfered with the probe's transmitters and that UFO bases were captured in some of the photographs, though likely to be classified as unknown features by astronomers. The message also indicates a shift in policy regarding manned landings on other worlds, with a 'hands-off' policy now cancelled.

Contactees Blasted!

Another message, received by Bob Renaud from Akim-Vesta Antiri, addresses issues within the contactee community. Antiri criticizes some contactees for becoming overbearing, greedy, and self-appointed messengers, using their contacts for personal gain. Changes are needed, with a warning that those who do not mend their ways may be left behind.

The Bob Renaud Story

This issue continues "The Bob Renaud Story" with Part 25, detailing radio contacts and a panel discussion of Masters (Kalen-Li, Endo-Saren, Vassi-Koln, Kren-Lor) from November 2, 1963. The discussion focuses on the irrationality of war, highlighting its destructive nature and the cyclical pattern of conflict throughout human history. The Masters criticize the concept of war as a form of population control and point out the resulting hatred, suspicion, poverty, and misery.

Part 26 of the story continues the discussion on war, with Kren-Lor critiquing the idea of a 'war to end all wars' and Vassi-Koln discussing the role of warmongers in discrediting the United Nations. Kalen-Li emphasizes the need for individuals to assert themselves and take action to prevent destruction, rather than relying on apathy.

Part 27 discusses the need for unity within the Flying Saucer Movement, criticizing infighting and name-calling. It advocates for a world-wide union of groups to effectively disseminate information and promote a common philosophy centered on world peace. The message outlines a promotional campaign to reach the masses and influence leaders towards adopting Universal Economics and recognizing the existence of saucers.

Part 28 features a radio contact with Anta Verron, an RK-11 scientist, discussing the frequency of major airplane crashes. Verron explains that aircraft fight gravity rather than work with it, leading to issues with lift and altitude. Poor maintenance, engine problems, and outside interference are cited as causes for crashes. The message also suggests solutions such as better engine maintenance, shielding instruments from magnetic interference, and adopting automatic landing devices similar to those used by extraterrestrial craft.

Part 29 addresses the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The message expresses deep sorrow and notes the unprecedented global mourning and unity that followed the event. It highlights how the tragedy brought people together, transcending political and ideological differences, and prompts reflection on the forces that promote hatred and destruction.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the active presence and influence of extraterrestrial civilizations, the promotion of peace and unity through the United Nations, and the advocacy for Universal Economics as a replacement for the current monetary system. The magazine's stance, as conveyed through the messages from extraterrestrial sources and the editorial notes, is one of guidance and encouragement for humanity to overcome its self-destructive tendencies, embrace cooperation, and strive for a higher state of existence. There is a strong emphasis on the need for individuals to take responsibility for their future and to actively work towards a peaceful and prosperous world.

Title: UFO INTERNATIONAL
Issue: No. 22
Date: December 7, 1963
Publisher: Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America
Cover Headline: THE BOB RENAUD STORY (Cont'd)

This issue of UFO INTERNATIONAL delves into various aspects of the flying saucer phenomenon, featuring continued narratives, scientific data from alleged extraterrestrial sources, and news from the UFO community.

The Bob Renaud Story (Cont'd)

The issue begins with the continuation of the Bob Renaud story, presenting a message attributed to an entity named Lin-Erri. This message emphasizes the importance of peace and brotherhood, drawing a parallel to the unity shown after President Kennedy's death. Lin-Erri urges humanity to recognize the worth of individuals during their lifetime and to work towards peace, warning against a return to hatred and violence. The message concludes with a promise of future contact.

Radio Contact: Surface Conditions on Your Local Planets

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a radio contact transcript from December 7, 1963, featuring Arel-Lon, an RK-11 Terratologist. Arel-Lon provides data about the planets in our solar system, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Clarion, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. This information is presented as being more accurate than that provided by Earth astronomers due to their reliance on faulty data.

Mercury: Life exists underground due to adverse surface conditions. Living conditions are described as providing all necessities for a happy existence, with artificially generated gravity.

Venus: The clouds are artificial, designed to filter ultraviolet rays. The sky is light blue, and sunlight is artificial but contains all components of real sunlight. Temperatures range from 40 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit in temperate areas. The air is richer in oxygen and less dense than Earth's. The day is 25 hours, 10 minutes, 13 seconds long.

Mars: Mars is described as being in a state of growth, with recent discoveries enabling the conversion of iron and silicon oxides into hydrogen and water, promising a flourishing future. The air is denser than Earth's, with more oxygen. Temperatures range from 45 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with snow in polar regions.

Jupiter: Its atmosphere traps heat, resulting in an average temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The atmosphere is similar to Earth's, and gravity is 1.2 times Earth's.

Saturn: The planet is comfortable with an air composition similar to Earth's. Gravity is 1.3 times Earth's. The climate is mild, averaging 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Saturn's rings are described as a spectacular phenomenon composed of tiny ice crystals.

The contactee also notes that the average life span of inhabitants on these local planets is over 400 years.
