Magazine Overview

Title: UFO monthly.com
Issue: 32
Date: January 2006

This issue of UFO monthly.com delves into the complex relationship between hypnosis, altered states of consciousness, and the phenomenon of UFO abductions. It features a multi-part article by Carl Nally, an analysis of police UFO reports, an interview with former MOD official Nick Pope, and a look at underwater UFOs (USOs).

Hypnosis and Altered States Part 2

The article by Carl Nally, DCH TFT Pract., continues the exploration of hypnosis and altered states, drawing parallels between these states and the experiences of UFO abductees. Nally posits that abductees often have a history of paranormal experiences and that characteristics like time distortion and amnesia are common to both hypnosis and abduction accounts. He explains that hypnosis works by moving the conscious mind aside to allow direct access to the unconscious mind, making individuals more suggestible. Nally suggests that entities may induce trance states in humans to communicate directly with their unconscious minds. The article also touches upon muscle rigidity and dissociation as indicators of hypnotic states, and the somnambulistic state, questioning if it plays a role in abductee experiences.

Statistical Analysis of the PRUFOS Police Database 2006

Gary Heseltine presents an analysis of the 5th PRUFOS Police report, which contained 43 new cases involving 102 British police officers, bringing the total to over 500. Heseltine, a police officer himself, believes the data supports the assertion that many sightings represent extraterrestrial craft. A key finding is that 75% of 'on duty' cases are multiple officer sightings. The report highlights West Yorkshire as the county with the most police UFO sightings, followed by North Yorkshire, London, and Staffordshire. Heseltine concludes that while some cases may have earthly explanations, high-caliber witnesses suggest an extraterrestrial origin for many UFOs.

Interview with Nick Pope

Miles Johnson interviews Nick Pope, the former 'man from the Ministry' who recently resigned from the MOD. Pope clarifies that his resignation was voluntary and that he remains bound by the Official Secrets Act. He discusses the importance of investigating UFO cases, particularly the Rendlesham Forest incident, which he believes was a 'massive missed opportunity' due to flawed investigation. Pope draws parallels between investigating UFO cases and police work, emphasizing the need to identify and interview witnesses and suspects. He also notes the challenges of investigating cases in the United States due to a 'twin track investigation' approach.

Other Content

The issue also includes an article on alien art by Audrey Councell, archive USO documents from the Canadian Mountain police, and the first part of a series on USO Stories, looking at underwater UFOs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea that UFOs are real and represent extraterrestrial visitors. The editorial stance, as expressed by Gary Heseltine, is one of open-minded investigation, encouraging the exploration of paranormal phenomena and the analysis of evidence, particularly from credible witnesses like police officers and scientists. The issue emphasizes the need to move beyond skepticism and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial contact.

This issue of "UFO SIGHTINGS-UK" is dated December 1960, though it also features contemporary sightings from 2006 and archival documents from 1960. The magazine covers a range of topics including UFO and USO sightings, critical analysis of official investigations, space news, and alien-themed art.

Editorial and Analysis

The issue opens with an interview and editorial commentary on the Rendlesham Forest incident. The interviewee, 'Nick', criticizes the joint investigation by the MOD and USAF, describing it as a "shoddy cursory examination of the evidence." He suggests this might have been a deliberate ploy. The editorial by 'GH' expresses gratitude to Miles Johnson for the interview tape and notes that Nick has left the MOD voluntarily, though the reasons are not explored. GH, a former RAF police officer, finds the investigation's lack of thoroughness unusual for the Special Investigations branch.

Another question explores the possibility of the Rendlesham object being a 'temporal ship' or 'hyper dimensional' vehicle, with the interviewee stating that while Jim Penniston felt it might be a craft from the future, he cannot rule it out. The interviewee also discusses the premise that the British side of the investigation was influenced by American evidence and that communication might have occurred, suggesting that the way the base behaved indicated foreknowledge.

UFO Sightings - UK

This section details several recent sightings:

• December 16th 2006, Scapegoat Hill and Scammonden Reservoir, West Yorkshire: Two objects were seen. One appeared as a central point of light, like a beam, and the other as a highly illuminated dense cloud area. The objects were described as spheres/circles, emitting a bright white/yellow light, and were estimated to be 500 feet or higher.
• December 16th 2006, Wickford, Essex: Three entities were observed moving in a straight line, with one showing erratic, playful movement. Their speed was too slow for aircraft and too fast for satellites. The objects were described as faint red, with no discernible shape, and made no noise.
• December 16th 2006, Owaldtwistle, Lancashire: A daughter noticed a small, very bright light covered in mist, with the cloud revolving. The light itself was not moving. The sighting was posted after seeing a similar report near Huddersfield.
• December 19th 2006, Brackley, Northamptonshire: A single light was seen turning on and off very quickly, zig-zagging diagonally across the sky at high speed. It was witnessed by the reporter and his 15-year-old son. The object was described as white and flashing, appearing fairly high.

Archive USO Documents

This section presents historical reports:

• March 6, 1960, CLTA Station: A report from the Canadian Mounted Police and Ottowa Police Headquarters regarding the Athabasca Indians of British Columbia, Canada. They reported seeing a "SPACE SHIP OF FLYING SAUCER" referred to as "SASQUATCH SHIP" or "SKY BOAT." The object was described as circular, about 200 yards in diameter, weighing 1000 tons, and made of white metal. It reportedly came out of the sky, hit a lake (Lake Fraser), rose into the air, and then hit the Fraser River. It was said to emit a glow and might be radioactive. Investigators were suggested to use low-flying planes with Geiger counters and airial uranium locating devices.
• June 22nd, 1960, Clan Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada: A Royal Canadian Mounted Police report detailing a witness statement. The witness was camping on the shore of Clan Lake when he heard a noise like a big plane. He saw a strange object strike the water, spin on the surface, and then disappear. Upon investigation with his partner, they found the grass around the impact area was burnt and cut up in small pieces. A channel was found in the lake floor, deeper than the surrounding area. The object in the water was described as 4 to 6 feet wide, rotating rapidly, and throwing water. Its color could not be determined due to the flying water.

The Big Picture: Worldwide UFO Sightings

This section features more recent sightings:

• November 30th 2006, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia: Three witnesses observed two objects hovering low with a bright pink light. The objects moved in a snake-like, wavy, blurry fashion and disappeared instantly. The video recording function on the reporter's mobile phone did not work, yielding only fuzzy pictures.
• December 2nd 2006, Geelong, Newcomb, Victoria, Australia: Three witnesses saw a bright pink light hovering low around an industrial area. The light turned bright, then turned around and disappeared within a second. The object was described as star-like in appearance and was approximately 1 km away.

Space News-Life on Mars?

This short section announces that NASA has found evidence of recent water flow on Mars, which once more raises the possibility of life on the planet.

Welcome to the Humorous World of Alien Art by Audrey Councell

This section presents six humorous alien art drawings by Audrey Councell, a subscriber to the magazine. The art pokes gentle fun at how humans perceive aliens. Audrey Councell is described as an artist with a background in advertising, illustration, and airbrush art, who creates quirky ET cartoons in her spare time.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFO and USO sightings, often with a critical eye towards official investigations. There's a strong emphasis on witness testimony and archival documentation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, questioning official narratives and exploring alternative explanations, including the possibility of advanced or future technology. The inclusion of alien art and space news suggests a broad interest in the broader implications and cultural impact of the UFO phenomenon.

This issue of "UFOS AND THE WEB" focuses on a variety of UFO sightings and related topics, with a prominent article detailing Congressman Jerry Ford's historical call for a congressional investigation into UFO phenomena. The magazine covers recent sightings from late 2006 across multiple countries and includes a piece on space exploration and a proposed alien-themed park.

Ford's UFO Legacy: Unapproving of The Air Force's Explanation He Requests Congressional Investigation

This article, by Frank Warren, dated December 27, 2006, delves into the 1966 UFO activity in Michigan and Congressman Gerald "Jerry" Ford's response. Ford, then a diligent politician, wrote to his constituents expressing the belief that the American public deserved a better explanation than the Air Force's "swamp gas" theory. He strongly recommended a committee investigation and proposed that either the House Armed Services Committee or the House Science and Astronautics Committee schedule hearings. Ford's efforts led to a "Congressional Symposium" chaired by Donald Rumsfeld. In a radio broadcast, Ford recounted his own personal encounter with an unidentified flying object, likening it to the Air Force's inability to explain the Michigan sightings. He received numerous letters, mostly supportive of his call for investigation. The article notes that Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla, Director of Project Blue Book, was unhappy with Ford's statements. Ford, in a later letter on April 21st, 1966, stated that while some were ridiculed, the majority of people believed a congressional investigation was useful. He also suggested that some UFOs might be products of military experimentation. The Air Force, in response, announced plans for a study by high-caliber scientists from universities with no close ties to the Air Force, with the findings to be made public. Ford expressed a preference for public hearings with witnesses but acknowledged the scientific study as a step in the right direction. The article concludes by noting that after Ford became president, his "interest in UFOs" seemed to wane, though he had previously stated that authorities always denied UFO allegations.

UFO Sightings from Around the World

Canada (December 5th, 2006 - Calgary, Alberta)

Two witnesses observed a glowing ball hovering just north of the city center. The object moved calmly and steadily, then began blinking and changing colors, making symbols in the sky before disappearing. The object was described as round, changing colors, and moving from yellow to red to blue. The witnesses were shocked and a little frightened.

Northern Ireland (December 11th, 2006 - Co. Carlow)

On the N9 main road, a UFO was sighted at approximately 10:55 pm. It was described as a smallish, throbbing/pulsing blue light with a white trail, flying low to the ground at about 50 mph. It was silent and moved in a straightforward path. The witness noted its small size compared to stereotypical UFOs seen on TV. The object was seen while the witness was driving and later heard mentioned on the radio.

Mexico (November 26th, 2006 - Tepexpan, State of Mexico)

This section reports on a UFO photographed over Tepexpan, based on a report from Ana Luisa Cid. Video footage taken by Victor Gabriel Gonzalez captured the event. The witness states the UFOs were traveling southwest and the sighting lasted 30 minutes. The witness flashed light signals with a mirror, and the object flashed back. The video is described as compelling, recorded by a person with a history of documenting UFOs in the area.

Poland (December 5th, 2006 - Wrocaw Area, Dolnolskie)

A couple from Mirków reported a sighting. Mrs. Ewa noticed a strange light over D'ugo'êka. Initially thought to be a lamp on a tower, it was realized to be hovering. Her husband confirmed it was not a building light. Using binoculars, they observed a huge ball of light. Mrs. Ewa attempted to take a photo. The object was moving in a southerly direction and became less intense, eventually appearing as three lights. The object moved and then stopped, motionless, for three minutes before moving again. The altitude was estimated at 0.5-1 km. The sighting was mentioned on the radio.

USA (December 5th, 2006 - Estrella Mountain Ranch, Goodyear, Arizona)

Two bright yellow lights, resembling street lights, were seen in the sky. They were perfectly level and then mysteriously went away. The object was described as yellowish-orange, round with a haze, and was seen from about 200 yards from the ground.

USA (December 14th, 2006 - Tucson, Arizona)

A moving green light, about 15 degrees above the horizon, was observed. It emerged from clouds and had a small white light behind it. It turned south and then east before disappearing in less than 10 seconds. The apparent speed was remarkable, seeming slower when passing south to north and faster when approaching or departing. The altitude was estimated at approximately 10,000 ft. ASL.

Canada (December 27th, 2006 - Trans Canada Highway 1 From Banff to Calgary)

An overwhelming orange object with a heavy beam moving in a 360-degree motion was observed hovering in a field. Two other cars had stopped to watch. The object then flew over the highway and hovered in one spot without sound.

Mexico (December 15th, 2006 - Chilpancingo)

Several unidentified flying objects were seen for over half an hour, causing curiosity and concern. Approximately 15 objects were observed, described as metallic grey, spinning, and making geometric formations. They moved at an even pace, with some moving faster and lower.

Poland (December 15th, 2006 - Kielce, Swietokrzyskie)

Mr. J.B. photographed a plane and later noticed a strange object resembling a bright dot in the airplane's vicinity. Analysis of the photo revealed an anomalous nature of the object, which remained in place while the craft and clouds moved.

USO Stories: U.S. Navy USS Abraham Lincoln UFO Encounter

This section details a remarkable account from "Ed Sims" (pseudonym), a former member of the U.S. Navy assigned to the nuclear submarine USS Abraham Lincoln. During a night watch, a crimson-colored, 100-foot circular disc dropped from the sky and made a wide sweeping arc around the ship at an altitude of about 10 feet. During this time, all navigation and sonar on the ship were lost, rendering it "dead in the water." The ship's photographer filmed the event. After circling the ship, the object took off at high speed and disappeared. Immediately after, sonar and navigation returned. The four witnesses reported the incident, and the photographer was ordered to develop the films. Later, Sims and the other witnesses were summoned to the skipper's room, interrogated for about an hour by civilians and a Navy officer, and informed that their liberty was canceled. They were taken to an 8x10 foot room and interrogated for hours, with attempts made to convince them they were lying. The next day, the interrogation continued for eight hours, with the same narrative. On the third day, three civilians presented Sims with photos of various UFO types and asked him to identify the one he saw. He identified one resembling the object. He was then made to sign a secrecy document, threatening court-martial, fines, and solitary confinement if he revealed anything. Sims signed and was escorted back to the ship. Upon reporting to the commanding officer, he was informed he was being transferred and flown to Hawaii. He later heard that the other three individuals were assigned to other duty stations worldwide. A reliable military source within the Air Force confirmed the portion of the story regarding the UFO appearing near the submarine.

Australia (February 26, 1942 - Timor Sea)

A letter to the Australian Flying Saucer Research Society from William Methorst describes an experience from February 26, 1942. While on watch for enemy aircraft, he saw a large aluminum disc approaching at terrific speed (4,000-5,000 feet above) and circling high above the cruiser Tromp of the Royal Netherlands Navy for about three to four hours. The object then veered off at tremendous speed and disappeared. Methorst recorded this in his diary.

French Space Agency to Publish UFO Archive Online

PARIS (Reuters) - The French space agency, CNES, announced it would publish its archive of UFO sightings and phenomena online in late January or mid-February. The database contains around 1,600 incidents collected over nearly 30 years. Names of witnesses will be kept confidential to protect them from "pestering by space fanatics." The archive, which includes statements from the public and airline pilots, is expected to be popular given the success of UFO-themed films. The decision to go online was prompted by advances in technology.

Alien Theme Park Considered for Roswell

Roswell, New Mexico, is considering the feasibility of building an alien-themed amusement park. Zach Montgomery, planning director, stated that Roswell is the only city where such a park could work due to its worldwide recognition for alien-related phenomena. The proposed park would be similar in scope to Six Flags Over Texas, featuring multiple rides, a learning center, and interactive stations. The park could range from 75 to 150 acres. Local officials have approached Governor Bill Richardson for funding for the next phase, which involves creating a business plan and cost-benefit analysis. The city is not a direct partner but could assist with infrastructure. Companies like Walt Disney World, Six Flags, Paramount, and Madame Tussauds have been approached.

European Satellite Project COROT

This section discusses the upcoming launch of the European Space Agency's COROT satellite, designed to detect smaller, rocky planets orbiting other stars. Heike Rauer, the project's German head, explained that COROT will measure changes in star brightness to identify planets passing in front of them. While the mission aims to find Earth-like planets, it is unlikely to find a "second Earth" within its limited observation time. However, it may find planets orbiting cooler M-stars that could potentially support life. COROT cannot determine if life exists on these planets but can identify molecules like water and oxygen. The findings will be carefully analyzed to ensure accuracy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents witness testimonies of UFO sightings from various locations and time periods, emphasizing the unexplained nature of these events. There's a recurring theme of official skepticism or attempts to downplay sightings, as seen in the discussion of the Air Force's response to the 1966 Michigan sightings. The publication also highlights efforts to scientifically study UFO phenomena, whether through government-commissioned studies or space exploration projects like COROT. The overall stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained aerial phenomena, presenting evidence and accounts for the reader to consider, while also acknowledging the historical context of government investigations and public interest.
