Guest Editorial: Dear NASA: We Don't Need a New UFO Probe- We Have All the Evidence We Need Already!

By John White

John White argues that NASA's claim of lacking tangible evidence for UFOs is misguided, asserting that proof already exists and has been suppressed by government and military entities. He dismisses NASA administrator Dr. Robert Frosch's statement about the futility of a new probe, stating that the evidence is overwhelming and varied.

White categorizes the evidence into four main areas:

1. Extraterrestrial Vehicles: Visual sightings (supported by a 1974 Gallup poll of 15 million Americans), genuine photographs and films, radiation analysis, and secondary effects like skin burns and seared vegetation. He also mentions physical evidence such as broken tree branches, matted vegetation, ground impressions, and frightened animals.
2. Testimony: Confirmation from top military officials like Gen. George S. Brown, who stated UFOs caused trouble in Vietnam. Hypnotic regression in alleged abduction cases is also cited as verifying abductee accounts.
3. Extraterrestrial Origin (Specific Cases): The 'Hill Star Map,' drawn by Betty Hill in 1964 after her abduction in Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1961, is presented as evidence. A teacher, Marjorie Fish, constructed a model of space based on the map, which, with updated astronomical data, identified Zeta Reticuli as the home star, approximately 37 light years away. The map contained information unknown on Earth at the time, suggesting an extraterrestrial source.
4. Earth-Based Civilizations: The possibility of an advanced, high-technology undersea civilization is suggested, citing numerous sightings at sea.
5. Metaterrestrial/Extradimensional Entities: This category suggests that some UFO experiences originate from nonphysical entities from other universes or dimensions that interpenetrate our space-time. Materialization/dematerialization is explained through this concept. White likens these encounters to historical accounts of angels and demons.

White criticizes NASA's stance, particularly David Williamson's plea for 'one little green man,' comparing it to the astronomical community's lack of a physical star specimen to prove stars exist. He references J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee's 'The Edge of Reality' and 'Modern People' magazine for leaked NASA photos. He also cites Donald Keyhoe's 'Aliens From Space,' which allegedly provides proof that governments have known about Earth being visited by various extraterrestrials for decades.

Reasons for suppression include fear of public panic (like the 1938 'War of the Worlds' broadcast), psychological defense mechanisms, and sinister motives such as nations attempting to weaponize UFO technology. The possibility of aliens infiltrating institutions is also raised.

White concludes that a new government probe is unnecessary, especially given the history of alleged cover-ups like Project Blue Book. He calls for a coordinated study by non-partisan groups.

The Kentucky Abduction!

By Bob Allen

This article details the alleged abduction of three housewives from Liberty, Kentucky: Elaine Thomas, Mona Staford, and Louise Smith, on the night of January 9, 1976. They claim to have been taken aboard a UFO for about an hour and a half.

Still in Touch: The women believe the beings are still communicating with them telepathically, possibly implanting messages. Elaine felt they wanted her to be quiet.

The Strange Craft: While driving home from the Redwood Restaurant, they saw a brilliant red light descending rapidly. They initially thought it was a jet plane. The object, described as disc-shaped and domed, hovered near their car, rocking and pulsing with red and yellow lights. Elaine entered a trance-like state, and Mona had to shut the car door. The vehicle then sped up to 85 mph on its own accord.

Memory Loss and a Neck Burn: After the encounter, the women found themselves in Hustonville, miles away, with no memory of how they got there. Their watches showed they had lost an hour and a half. Louise had a red mark on her neck, described as a burn, running from her hairline down her back. Mona and Elaine had similar marks, and Mona's eyes burned.

Blistered Paint: The next day, they found blistered paint on Louise's car, suggesting exposure to intense heat.

Hypnotic Regression: To recall the lost time, the women underwent hypnosis and polygraph tests. Dr. Leo Sprinkle, a psychology professor, conducted the sessions. The polygraph tests showed no deception, and hypnosis revealed startling details.

The Humanoids: Under hypnosis, Louise recalled being separated from Mona and Elaine on the craft. She described humanoid beings about four and a half feet tall with hands like wingtips and feathered fingers. The environment was hot, and her face was covered.

Captivity: Mona Staford recalled being taken from the larger ship to a smaller craft, from which she observed the mothership departing. She also described seeing beings on the floor in a meditative position in an adjacent room.

Physical and Psychological Effects: The women lost 15 pounds each, suffered appetite loss, and experienced sleep disturbances and nightmares. Mona reported seeing a strange eye appear when she closed her eyes.

UFO Beings Can Teach Mankind a Better Way!

By Karen Paschke

This article explores the idea that UFO occupants might possess superior intelligence and knowledge that could benefit humanity. The author suggests that Earth is in turmoil with war, violence, poverty, and disease, indicating a lack of advancement despite technological progress.

Planet in Turmoil: The author highlights the global issues of war, starvation, disease, and premature death, questioning if these are signs of an advanced civilization.

Wonders Await Us: The article poses the question of whether humanity should tap into the intelligence of beings from superior civilizations. It introduces Sally and Ray Seibert of Columbus, Ohio, who claim to have made contact with a superior force focused on healing.

Strange Psychic Forces: Sally Seibert has been aware of her 'rare talent' since childhood, which she attributes to her family's history of spiritual healing. She describes her abilities as a link between a superior entity and humans. She admits to being able to levitate objects but kept it secret.

Establishing Contact: The Seiberts' initial experiments with table tipping in 1963 led to a UFO sighting in November 1964, where a craft appeared as scheduled at 25,000 feet. Later, using a Ouija board, they communicated with an entity named Hodan, who identified himself as 'the light' from the previous UFO encounter and advised them to stop using the board.

Superior Being Offers Healing Aid: Hodan's primary focus is on healing. Through Sally, he has reportedly performed 'miracles,' such as repairing torn muscles before surgery and causing thyroid tumors to vanish. Patient blood counts have allegedly increased significantly after Sally's healing sessions.

The 'Hodan' Entity: Hodan is described as an elder brother concerned with humanity's importance in the universe. He has indicated that humans are not ready for direct contact with extraterrestrials but can accept 'spirit help.' He explains that UFOs are thought forms, visible primarily to psychic individuals.

Venus Connection: Hodan is said to be from Venus, but not in a physical sense; his civilization exists on a higher, mental plane. This concept is linked to occult teachings about planes of existence after death.

The Seiberts' Research: Ray and Sally Seibert have investigated the clinical and academic aspects of Sally's abilities, including detailed mental pictures received via telepathy and projecting parts of herself into human and mechanical bodies to diagnose ailments. They used Kirlian photography to document aura changes before and after healing sessions.

A 'Tacky' Situation: An incident involving a girl named Pat and her friend Paulie, who were late for a healing session, led Sally to believe she had moved into another dimension. The locked door and the disappearance of Sally's car from the parking lot added to the mystery.

The Bermuda Triangle: Hodan reportedly explained the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon as individuals crossing into another dimension without realizing it.

Researcher Believes Spacemen Have Colonized Our Planet

By Robin Collyns

This section introduces Robin Collyns, a New Zealand-born author who, after 15 years of research, presents evidence suggesting that Homo Sapiens is not the only intelligent race inhabiting Earth. His new book, 'Spacemen Colonized the Earth,' is described as 'spellbinding' and 'science fiction' due to its far-reaching implications, yet supported by substantial evidence.

Startling Disclosures: Collyns claims UFOs visited Earth millions of years ago and have been monitoring humanity. He references Charles Fort's idea that humans are 'pawns in an interplanetary game of chess' and promises to reveal where humans fit into this 'master plan.'

• Questions Asked, Answers Given: The article lists several intriguing questions addressed in Collyns' book, including:
• Did Earth's dinosaurs die in a nuclear war 70 million years ago?
• Was man resettled on a submerged oceanic continent?
• Are pulsar signals remnants of a vast galactic radio network?
• Are Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman degenerated spacemen?
• Was ancient mankind in direct contact with aliens, and what did they teach us?

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO REVIEW revolve around the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence, the alleged suppression of evidence by official bodies like NASA, and the potential for advanced alien civilizations to offer humanity knowledge and assistance, particularly in areas like healing. The editorial stance is critical of government secrecy and orthodox scientific skepticism, advocating for the acceptance of UFO phenomena as real and worthy of serious, non-partisan investigation. The magazine positions itself as a source of 'authentic information' on these topics, promoting a worldview where UFOs are a tangible reality with profound implications for humanity's past, present, and future.

This issue of "WOULD YOU BELIEVE?" explores unexplained mysteries, focusing on the personal encounters of singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka with the unknown, and a detailed report on a suspected UFO crash in Russia. The magazine also touches upon psychic phenomena and government secrecy surrounding UFOs.

Neil Sedaka's Encounters with the Unknown

The lead article profiles Neil Sedaka, who expresses his belief in the soul's survival after death, reincarnation, and astral projection. Sedaka recounts a personal out-of-body experience at age seventeen where he found himself floating above his body. He attributes the success of his comeback single, "Laughter in the Rain," to the spiritual assistance of his wife's deceased grandparents. Sedaka also discusses his songwriting process, suggesting that melodies and chord progressions often come from a higher intelligence or possibly from his experiences in past lives, referencing his connection to composers like George Gershwin and Steven Foster.

The Day a UFO Crashed Inside Russia

This exclusive on-the-spot report by Victor Demidov details the investigation into a mysterious funnel-shaped crater discovered on April 28, 1961, near a lake in Karelia, Russia. A forester, Vassili Brodsky, found the crater, which was approximately 88 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, with a large hole in the ice. Divers explored the lake bottom and found loose earth and frozen sod, with a narrow furrow resembling a bed hollowed out by a huge pipe. Ice blocks near the hole exhibited an unusual emerald green color to a depth of a couple of inches, which baffled chemists. Analysis of scorched "millet grains" found near the crater revealed a metallic lustre and an inorganic origin, suggesting they were not natural formations. The investigation ruled out conventional explanations like explosions, ball-lightning, or meteorites, leading to the fantastic explanation that a spaceship had landed and taken off again. Engineers doubted any device could withstand such an impact. The report highlights the difficulty in obtaining scientific analysis from Soviet institutions and the persistent belief that UFOs are more than just an invention of capitalist propaganda.

Psychic Phenomena and Contactees

The issue features a section on Carol Rodriguez, a young psychic who offers guidance through Tarot cards, claiming to be motivated by a desire to help others. She has appeared on "UFO REVIEW" with editor Tim Beckley. Another segment discusses Hodan, an entity communicating through Sally Seibert, who emphasizes human potential, creative power, and the importance of understanding the physical world. Hodan has communicated with various influential groups and its likeness has been depicted in a painting.

Government Secrecy and UFOs

An interview with a communications expert, referred to as "Dr. X," reveals his belief that UFOs are a political issue rather than a military one. He suggests that the US government possesses definitive proof of UFO existence but withholds it due to the volatile political implications and fear of public panic. Dr. X criticizes the "window-dressing" nature of Project Bluebook and expresses disappointment with President Carter's failure to fulfill his campaign promise to release UFO information. He speculates that UFO occupants may choose their own time and place for disclosure, possibly after a major global catastrophe.

Other Features

The magazine also includes advertisements for back issues of "UFO REVIEW," books on UFOs and psychic phenomena, and subscription offers. A section titled "The 'Space Brothers' Want You to Escape the Coming Holocaust" discusses prophecies of global disaster and offers a way out through belief in higher intelligence. The issue also features a book review of "SECRETS OF THE UFO" by Don Elkins and Carla Rueckert, and a report on "THE CIA AND THE FLYING SAUCERS: An Analysis Of The Air Force Project Bluebook Report No.14."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained, including UFO sightings, crashes, psychic abilities, and the possibility of life after death and reincarnation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation into these phenomena, challenging official denials and encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations for unexplained events. There is a consistent emphasis on the potential for government cover-ups and the importance of public awareness regarding UFOs.

This issue of UFO REVIEW, dated April 1980, with a cover date of April 17, 1980, is a 24-page magazine focusing on UFO phenomena, alien contact, and predicted mass landings. The cover prominently features the question, "YES! ALIENS WALK AMONGST US BUT ARE YOU PREPARED TO MEET THEM?", and highlights special offers for subscriptions and investigative league memberships.

Chasing Flying Saucers

The magazine begins with a continuation of an article discussing the author's optimism about the public demanding truth from politicians regarding UFOs. The author expresses a belief that the government is not responsive but hopes for change. The article touches on the idea of UFOs being capable of self-destruction to avoid capture and display.

Mass UFO Landings

This section, continued from a previous page, features insights from contactee Jane Allyson. Allyson, a singer and songwriter, feels drawn to thoughts of space and believes she will be among the first to be saved during an evacuation. She recounts a message received about preserving culture and art, and a warning about not fully trusting all space people, but reassurance against atomic war due to their ability to neutralize aggression. Allyson also describes waking up to men in black uniforms delivering a message and experiencing dreams of spaceships filling the sky, collapsing buildings, and severe earthquakes.

She recounts a specific experience of being in a spaceship with 200-300 people that ascended straight up. She also mentions meeting a man with red hair who is going to Arizona with her, based on an unconscious command.

Letters: Aliens & Astronauts

This section includes a letter from a reader commenting on a previous article about the banning of the book "Alternative Three." The letter discusses experiences and thoughts regarding the U.S. space program and its relationship with extraterrestrials. The writer claims that "Space people" communicated through Mrs. Hope Troxell, founder of the School of Thought and the Church of Cosmic Origin, that they followed the U.S. space program closely and aided astronauts telepathically, helping ensure the success of missions aboard the Apollo spacecraft.

The letter further asserts that astronauts did land on the Moon, but the media only reported a small, non-controversial segment of the information. Extraterrestrials allegedly told Mrs. Troxell that astronauts saw their spacecraft and installations on the Moon, but were forbidden to report these findings. The letter also recounts an incident where extraterrestrials from the "Alta Moon" assisted the Apollo 13 crew when their craft began to tumble out of control, even offering to take the astronauts aboard their larger craft.

Attract the Powers of Goodness to You

This editorial piece discusses the existence of positive and negative forces in the universe. It encourages readers to tap into the "Universal Life Force" to attract beneficial things like happiness, spiritual growth, financial security, and health. It highlights numerous cases where ordinary people have communicated with UFO occupants, often experiencing feelings of warmth and love. The article suggests that "Space Brothers" generally wish to bring humanity desired things and that listening to their words can lead to beneficial learning.

The Forces of Darkness Are All Around

This section warns that not all aliens are concerned with humanity's well-being. Some entities are described as evil, motivated by the forces of darkness, and can cause individuals to lose control of their minds and bodies, akin to possession. These negative influences are blamed for plagues, wars, and disasters that have killed millions. The article emphasizes that individuals can learn to fight these negative forces and improve their lives by knowing how to defend themselves. It notes that these negative entities can take on Earth-like appearances, enabling them to carry out "espionage" undetected.

Benevolent Space Beings Direct You to Use the 'Universal Force'...

This section, presented as a promotional piece for a report called "ALIENS AMONG US," urges readers to protect themselves from "COSMIC VAMPIRES" who are described as blood-sucking entities that mutilate animals and draw power from unguarded minds. These beings allegedly plan to create a force of "zombies" or "insane robots" through telepathic command. The piece claims these negative influences cause plagues, wars, and disasters. It offers "Three Golden Keys" to ward off evil and attract good, available to "New Age thinkers" who wish to communicate with interplanetary souls.

Free -- Receive Your Three Golden Keys

This is a promotional offer for "Three Golden Keys," described as tools to ward off evil and attract good energies. They are offered to "deserving individuals who are New Age thinkers." The offer is tied to receiving a "TOP-SECRET paper" that allegedly reveals how to identify aliens living among us, communicate with them, and details visits by the "alien agents of terror" known as the MEN IN BLACK.

UFO Review

This section contains ordering information for UFO REVIEW and a special report titled "ALIENS AMONG US." The offer includes a six-issue subscription to UFO REVIEW, the "ALIENS AMONG US" report, a tabloid supplement "WOULD YOU BELIEVE," "Three Golden Keys," a close-up picture of an alien vehicle, a document proving aliens posed as CIA and Air Force officials, a photograph of a "Men in Black," and a book titled "UFOS AROUND THE WORLD."

Continued from previous page

This text continues the discussion from page 21, mentioning that the "Space Brothers" said they would not let an atomic war happen and that they have the power to neutralize aggressive actions between countries. It also reiterates Jane Allyson's experience of waking up to men in black uniforms who delivered a message.

Meeting with an Alien

This personal account describes an encounter with a "classic MIB" (Man in Black). The author details the MIB's physical appearance: shorter than average, sunken cheeks, high cheekbones, large, slightly slanted eyes, pitted skin, thin mouth, and short black hair. The MIB was dressed in a black turtleneck and black slacks, with dark brown shoes. He carried a picture album and asked if the author wanted a picture taken of themselves or their children, mentioning a "mobile in the area."

The author declined, and the MIB left abruptly. The author later learned that a similar encounter occurred with a neighbor. The MIB's visit is speculated to be related to the author's recent correspondence about VLF (Very Low Frequency) stations or an attempt to read the author's mind before an upcoming radio talk show appearance.

Continued from previous page

This section continues the narrative about the MIB encounter. The author recounts a conversation with an investigator named Ann, who reported a similar MIB visit to her door. Ann described two men in black, one of whom matched the author's description of the MIB, who took pictures of her dog with a large black van. Ann has since dropped out of SUFORT.

The investigation into the MIB incident by CUFORN found no studios matching the description of the MIB's claimed affiliation. The author reflects on the MIB's appearance, initially thinking he was retarded but then suspecting he was an MIB. The author questions the connection between VLF stations and the MIB's appearance, and speculates that the MIB might have been reading their mind.

Yes! Aliens Walk Amongst Us

This is a promotional section for Timothy Green Beckley, described as "Mr. UFO," and the "UFO Investigators League." Beckley's 15 years of research have convinced him that much can be learned from studying UFOs and that open contact with the cosmos will lead to a "New Age" on Earth. The section highlights that UFO sightings continue daily, despite attempts to suppress this information. It claims that "Space Brothers" have assisted Earthlings in various ways, including locating treasures, solving problems, curing ailments, and heightening ESP abilities.

The "UFO Investigators League" offers several benefits for membership, including a subscription to UFO REVIEW, a membership card, a certificate, a field manual for interrogating witnesses, a "UFO Spotters Newsletter" with "top-secret" information, authentic photographs of spacecraft, discounts on UFO books, and the authority to use credentials for interviews and to set up affiliate clubs.

Predicted: Massive UFO Landings

This article reports that according to "highly informed sources," UFO activity is expected to increase globally, culminating in a mass landing of alien spaceships. Robert Short, a contactee and director of the Solar Space Foundation, believes this landing will coincide with new discoveries in the Great Pyramid, proving ancient astronaut involvement. He predicts the landing will occur in the Southwest (New Mexico, Texas, or Arizona) in a large flat area, with crafts 70-100 feet in diameter, holding mixed crews. Short states that the aliens will reveal the reasons for their arrival and will use a form of protection to prevent harm.

The article also mentions that the aliens may use radio, telephones, TV, or telepathic communication to inform everyone about impending global changes, such as shifts in the Earth's crust, causing earthquakes and disasters. A select number of people will be evacuated and will not be seen until after the catastrophes. Other landing sites will be chosen away from troubled fault lines, and American Indians are mentioned as individuals who will assist in the evacuation.

The Sky One Night

This is a song titled "The Sky One Night," received through "interplanetary inspiration" by Jane Allyson. The lyrics describe glowing lights, a second sun, chosen spirits, and a tidal suicide, with children being carried into space. It mentions colored smoke circles and landing lights glistening.

Continued on next page

This indicates that the article on predicted UFO landings will continue on the next page.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea that UFOs and aliens are real and actively interacting with Earth. There's a strong emphasis on contactees and their messages, often portraying aliens as either benevolent "Space Brothers" or potentially malevolent entities. Government secrecy and cover-ups regarding UFO information are a recurring theme. The publication actively encourages reader participation through subscriptions and membership in organizations like the "UFO Investigators League," offering various materials and benefits related to UFO research. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for greater public awareness and investigation into UFO phenomena, often framing it as a critical issue for humanity's future.
