The cover boldly declares that a CIA document reveals concern over a 'Venusian' in the military complex.

Key Articles and Themes

The Space Emissaries Are Here!

The lead article, accompanied by a dramatic illustration of a UFO and a silhouetted human figure, suggests that advanced beings from other worlds are visiting Earth with a purpose. It posits that these 'UFOnauts' are not merely observing but may have a mission to change human civilization for the better, especially in light of predicted global upheavals.

Aliens Walk Among Us!

This section delves into the idea that aliens are not only visiting but are also living among us, undetected. Several accounts are presented:

• Howard Menger: In the late 1950s, Menger claimed UFOs landed near his New Jersey home, and human-like crew members entered his house and spoke with his family.
• Gallipulis, Ohio Nurse: In the summer of 1966, a nurse reported a UFO landing and human-like beings emerging who spoke English to her.
• Michael Montecalvo: A 25-year-old psychology graduate reported encounters with a human-like pilot named 'Vadig' from a planet called 'Lanulos' in late 1967 and early 1968. Montecalvo described Vadig as appearing normal, with large blue eyes, and later encountered him in conventional clothing.
• Barbara Hudson: A New York City woman reported UFO sightings as a child and was taken to a rural area in Pennsylvania where she saw human-like men and women outside a craft on tripod landing gear. She claims these beings, known as 'The Group,' have bases on Earth and mingle freely in society.

They Look Like Us!

This article reinforces the idea that aliens are physically indistinguishable from humans, making them capable of infiltrating society. It highlights that these beings are often described as having normal appearances, though some accounts mention specific physical traits like no fingerprints (Val Thor) or unusual eyes.

The 'Space Brothers' Want You to Escape the Coming Holocaust

This section presents a dire warning of a coming global catastrophe, supported by psychic predictions (Edgar Cayce, Jeane Dixon) and scientific observations of increased earth tremors. It suggests that 'Space People' offer assistance to those who heed their warnings and advice, promising survival and a 'Golden Age' free from wars and diseases.

• Psychics Predict: Foretell 'troubled times' and a 'great physical holocaust' involving land shifts and tidal waves.
• Science Agrees: Notes an unusually high number of earthquakes and earth tremors.
• A Way Out: Suggests that only a select few, who trust in a higher power and heed warnings, will survive.
• Space People Predict: Claim contact with influential people in the space program, stating they are here to help avert disaster.

UFO Prophecy and Arthur Shuttlewood

Arthur Shuttlewood's book, 'UFO PROPHECY,' is promoted as a guide to understanding the 'Space Peoples Plan.' It emphasizes the importance of making the reality of UFOs widely known and working towards a common goal.

Val Thor - The Stranger at the Pentagon

This article details claims about an alien named Val Thor from Venus who allegedly visited the Pentagon for three years. Frank Stranges, an evangelist, recounts meeting Val Thor, who looked human but had no fingerprints. Val Thor reportedly stated that seventy-two such beings were walking among humans in the U.S. at the time and that he was influencing 'men in authority' without using force.

The Non-Terrans and Scientific Breakthroughs

Brad Steiger recounts an unusual meeting involving individuals claiming to have a formula to transform tap water into smokeless fuel and a liquid that could fireproof surfaces. The fuel reportedly worked in a lawnmower and a Lincoln Continental, and a demonstration showed it burning with a smokeless flame. The 'non-Terrans' involved apparently had advanced technology and were willing to share it, though negotiations eventually broke off.

UFOs Are on Earth Now by Chris Doulos

This section discusses the ability of UFOs to defy gravity and move at high speeds. It also touches upon alien efforts to control humans and personal experiences of the author, suggesting that aliens are actively influencing Earth.

Star People - Cousins to the Universe

An exclusive interview with Francie Steiger explores the concept of 'Star People,' individuals who believe they have extraterrestrial ancestry. Steiger suggests that these beings are being 'activated' to help humanity through upcoming cataclysms and are often found in 'helping' professions like psychology and medicine. They are described as physically normal, charismatic, and sensitive to electromagnetic fields.

Typical Alien Image

Dr. Wanda M. Lockwood's drawing of a typical alien image is presented, emphasizing that UFOnauts can walk the Earth undetected because they look human. Dr. Lockwood believes that aliens are helping to prepare humanity for a coming global crisis and are working to establish harmony and peace.

Contactee Potential Test

A quiz is offered to readers to determine their potential as a 'contactee,' asking about psychic experiences, dreams, and sensitivities.

Special Reports and Offers

The magazine includes several special reports for sale, such as 'UFO's: Past, Present, and Future,' 'Buy Gold!,' 'Survival Food,' and 'Prediction Newsletter.' A special offer bundles several items, including a subscription to UFO REVIEW and books like 'UFO Occupants & Critters' and 'Men in Black.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the pervasive presence of aliens on Earth, their human-like appearance, and their purported benevolent intentions to assist humanity through impending global crises. The editorial stance is one of advocacy for the reality of UFOs and alien contact, encouraging readers to be open-minded and aware of these phenomena. The magazine positions itself as a source of information on these topics, promising to lead the way in uncovering important discoveries and mysteries related to UFOs.

This issue of UFO REVIEW, dated 1979, focuses on unexplained mysteries of Earth, Space, and Time. The cover features the bold question "WOULD YOU BELIEVE?" and highlights articles on psychic experiences and a mysterious UFO incident.

The Ghost Who Triggered A Divine Revelation

This article introduces Sarah Kernochan, a young recording artist and writer who initially felt at odds with a spirit that seemed to interfere with her life. However, she eventually discovered the spirit's true purpose was to guide her towards a "divine revelation." Kernochan, described as a "pure genius" in her mid-twenties, is noted for her Oscar-winning co-direction of the film "Marjoe" and her two RCA albums. She has also written the screenplay for "The Dry Hustle," based on her novel. The article suggests that the spirit's motives were ultimately beneficial, leading her to a deeper understanding and creative output.

Celeste Holm's Incredible Psychic Experiences

Actress Celeste Holm asserts that she possesses ESP, enabling her to pick up on others' thoughts, especially when they try to hide something. She shares that this ability runs in her family, with her grandmother in Norway also possessing similar powers, accurately predicting events and illnesses. Holm recounts an incident from 1945 while serving as a WAC in post-war Germany, where she was drawn to a particular Colonel and later learned he was implicated in an attempted robbery at Kronberg Castle, an event she felt her intuition had warned her about.

The Night A UFO Came Crashing Down Over Ohio

This section details an incident involving Edward A. Lunguy of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, who witnessed a pulsating globe of orange light, identified as a UFO, hovering over a shopping plaza in July 1972. The object moved slowly before exploding silently in a shower of sparks. Weeks later, Lunguy discovered a peculiar nine-inch, 13-pound rock-like substance buried in his yard. Tests conducted by David Burns, an assistant professor of geology at Kent State University, and later by NASA scientist Rober Oldrieve, concluded that the material was not a natural glass and bore similarities to materials used in NASA's rocket nozzle applications. The substance, nicknamed "UFO-glass," was found to be harder and less fusible than common glass, with properties desirable for space research. The article notes the coincidence of the glass's amber color matching the UFO's hue and speculates about its extraterrestrial origin.

Interstellar Communications

This section features reader letters and contributions:

UFO Sightings in Anthropologists' Field Notes

Janet S. Pollak, Ph.D., shares an account from her fieldwork in Czechoslovakia. A village registrar described a sighting in 1967 of a revolving, round object with a dome and a ribbon of yellowish light. The object hovered, tilted, and then disappeared rapidly. The villagers referred to it as a "flying plate" due to its resemblance to their dinner plates. Pollak suggests that UFO information is stored in various societies and can be accessed through anthropology.

Fall of Skylab Predicted by Aliens

Cris Cansdale, Director of PROJECT UFO, claims to know why Skylab fell, attributing it to hostile aliens who do not want humanity to advance in space programs. He relays a message stating that an alien spaceship accidentally tipped the satellite and hit Skylab by mistake, causing it to wobble and eventually reenter the atmosphere. This warning was reportedly given in England in early 1977.

A Note from Betty Hill

Betty Hill addresses claims that an unauthorized person is selling original hypnosis tapes of her and Barney Hill's encounter. She states that no authorization has been given for the release of these tapes and that such claims are hoaxes. She warns that possession of these tapes may be illegal due to confidentiality laws.

Grandma Wouldn't Lie!

This contribution recounts a sighting from July or August 1935 in rural Utah by Adair Housley, Marion Clay Jeppsen, and Vernon F. Housley. They observed a light green, circular UFO, about the size of the full moon, moving rapidly eastward without sound. The witnesses ruled out natural phenomena and conventional aircraft.

Secrets of the UFO by Don Elkins & Carla Rueckert

This is an advertisement for a book that examines the contactee enigma, drawing from the experiences of figures like George Adamski and Uri Geller.

I Met the Men-in-Black

An artist shares an experience where she believes she encountered the 'Men in Black' while sketching in a bar. Three men in black suits and fedoras asked her to draw one of them. She mentions her long-standing interest in UFOs and her belief that they are here to help humanity during a time of spiritual awakening.

UFOs Around the World

This section contains requests from international organizations for books and microfilms of UFO articles, indicating a global interest in the subject. A reader from Indonesia notes that UFOs are frequently sighted there and leave physical proof, expressing surprise that Indonesia was not mentioned in a UN report. Another note mentions UFO sightings in Turkey.

Barker's Paranoia?

Gene Steinberg responds to Gray Barker's comments about alleged government censorship of the media. Steinberg, with experience in broadcasting and publishing, argues that the withdrawal of the movie "Capricorn One" and the re-release of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" were likely due to business and artistic considerations, not censorship. He emphasizes that media decisions are often profit-driven and that attributing imperfections to censorship is a distortion.

Wild Rumor - Or Fact?

J. Skyles from Hawaii requests confirmation of an incident in North Texas in September 1973 involving an armed confrontation between citizens and a University of Texas investigative team seeking evidence of a wrecked saucer and a buried 'spaceman'.

A 40-Year-Old Encounter

William Best recounts a sighting from his childhood in Bristol, England, over 40 years prior. He describes seeing a brilliant "airship" cross the sky, which he distinguishes from the R-101 dirigible he saw later. He notes the real airship was slow and made a loud chugging noise.

Yes! Aliens Walk Amongst Us

This section, featuring Timothy Green Beckley, promotes the UFO Investigators League. It states that UFO sightings continue globally but that attempts are being made to suppress this information. The league offers membership benefits to those interested in investigating UFO cases and paving the way for open contact with aliens. It suggests that aliens have assisted humans in various ways, including locating treasures, solving problems, curing ailments, heightening ESP abilities, and answering prayers.

Secrets of Pyramid Power Unlocked After UFO Encounter

This article details the experience of the Hardy family. After a UFO encounter where 45 minutes of time went missing, they began experiencing nightly visits from invisible entities. Mary Hardy had visions of a circular room and a figure by a panel of lights. Dean Hardy had pre-sleep visions of a pyramid. An entity named Kauhalan instructed them to build pyramids, which they claim cured their son John's dyslexia. The article mentions a self-published volume, "PYRAMID ENERGY EXPLAINED."

Seven Ships From Stars

This narrative continues the story of Robert, who claims to have communicated telepathically with aliens. The aliens, from a planet called Exonar in a solar system with six moons and a Red Giant sun (Beter Tucci), described their planet and its inhabitants. They spoke of a gateway to another dimension on Earth, possibly the Bermuda Triangle, and bases on the moon and Saturn. They predicted their public return in the year 2011. The aliens also shared a passage from a "Universal Bible" about the creation of the universe, the rise of intelligence, and the eventual triumph of Earth. Robert's encounter with the aliens reportedly caused time to stop for him.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the belief in benevolent extraterrestrial beings offering guidance and assistance to humanity, the existence of negative alien forces, alleged government cover-ups and censorship of UFO information, and the importance of individual investigation and awareness. The magazine actively promotes subscriptions and membership in organizations like the UFO Investigators League, positioning itself as a source of vital, often suppressed, information about UFOs and alien contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocacy for UFO research and a critical view of official narratives, encouraging readers to question established truths and explore paranormal phenomena.
