UFO-RAMA

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO-RAMA
Issue: 93
Date: July/August 2006

This issue of UFO-RAMA, a monthly bulletin on ufology from Italy and the world, delves into profound questions about existence, extraterrestrial intelligence, and mysterious phenomena. The editorial sets a spiritual tone, referencing Pope Benedict XVI's 'Symphony of the Cosmos' and biblical passages to suggest that the universe points to a creator and the potential for other intelligences.

Editorial: The Symphony of the Cosmos and Extraterrestrial Existence

The editorial posits that if stars were musical notes, we could hear the 'Symphony of the Cosmos,' a concept attributed to Pope Benedict XVI. This symphony, it is argued, points to the existence of a grand architect who created everything. The editorial draws parallels with sacred scriptures, citing Psalm 24(23) which states, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the universe, and they that dwell therein." It asserts that the existence of other extraterrestrial intelligences is demonstrable a priori, even without considering the numerous proofs that have emerged over the past sixty years, beginning with Kenneth Arnold's sighting on June 24, 1947. The editorial notes that these signs are no longer limited to celestial spheres but are also manifesting on Earth, serving as proof that humanity is not alone.

Il mistero dei cerchi africani (The Mystery of the African Circles)

This article explores the phenomenon of mysterious circles found in the Namib Desert in southwestern Africa. These circles, varying in diameter from 2 to 10 meters, dot the sandy, vegetation-poor landscape for over 2,000 kilometers. Intriguingly, the grass inside these circles grows lushly, while it is sparse outside. Local traditions attribute magical powers to these circles, with some tribes believing each circle marks the burial site of a Bushman who died in conflicts with colonialists. Scientists have been trying to find an explanation for decades, noting that the circles change position over time. The article mentions research conducted by Gretel van Rooyen, a docent of botany at the University of Pretoria, who has explored various hypotheses, including the possibility of electromagnetic radiation or sand baths. Van Rooyen hopes that spectral analysis will provide further insights, acknowledging that even if the cause is found, the mystery of these fascinating circles on our planet will remain.

PROGETTI/A CASA DI DIO (Projects/A House of God)

This section features an article about a striking architectural project: a pyramid-shaped building constructed from steel and clad in silver-colored metal, with a pointed top and a garden. Designed by Norman Foster for President Nursultan Nazarbajev of Kazakhstan, the structure, completed in 21 months, is slated to be inaugurated in June in the capital city of Astana. This monument is intended to be a global center for all religions, hosting interfaith gatherings. The pyramid will house a 1500-seat auditorium, a circular hall beneath the apex for 200 representatives from world religions, a library, and a museum showcasing the diverse ethnic groups of Kazakhstan. While the pyramid's design is attributed to its negative symbolic connotations and its dedication to the Virgin Mary and the promotion of faith and equality, the article notes the intriguing presence of esoteric symbolism. The project's website is listed as www.fosterandpartners.com.

LEGGO: Il Papa: sì a famiglia (I Read: The Pope: Yes to Family)

A brief mention of Pope Benedict XVI's message during the Angelus, emphasizing the importance of family as being closely linked to the divine plan, within the context of a 'Symphony of Custom' where everything speaks of God's love.

CRONACA VERA nr.1762 (True Chronicle No. 1762): Cinealo gli atterraggi degli UFO nei campi... (The landings of UFOs in the fields...)

This article reports on a mysterious circle found in a field near Spoleto, Italy. The phenomenon is described as a sudden appearance, followed by silence and surprise. The article discusses the broader phenomenon of crop circles, suggesting that they may be messages from extraterrestrial beings. It quotes an anonymous source who states that these circles are not mere 'disegni' (drawings) but rather a form of communication, reaching levels of perfection that suggest an extraterrestrial origin. The article notes that these circles are often found in cultivated fields.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-RAMA are the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, the interpretation of mysterious phenomena as potential messages, and the intersection of spirituality and the unknown. The editorial stance appears to be open to the possibility of non-human intelligence and views unexplained events, such as crop circles and celestial observations, as evidence supporting this view. There is also an emphasis on a spiritual or divine aspect underlying the universe, as suggested by the 'Symphony of the Cosmos' concept. The magazine also touches upon architectural projects that have symbolic or spiritual significance.
