Magazine Overview

This issue of The Official Flying Saucer Newspaper, No. 17, priced at $1.50, delves into a variety of UFO-related phenomena, including alleged alien healing, telepathic contact, and scientific investigations into extraterrestrial life. The cover prominently features the headline 'ETS OPERATED ON ME AND RID MY BODY OF CANCER' and 'STRANGE ARTIFACT FROM ATLANTIS!', alongside a smaller headline about a Canadian scientist establishing telepathic contact with flying saucer occupants.

The Artist and the ETs

This section profiles artist Lisa Egan, who believes her paintings are influenced by UFO contact. She recounts an experience of intense light and a feeling of being watched one night, which sparked her interest in UFOs and led her to incorporate them into her artwork. Egan speculates that she may have been taken aboard a flying saucer and subjected to a physical examination.

Strange Encounters: Mystery of the Disappearing Car

Written by Diane Tessman, this article details the account of a former military man, identified only as Richard, who experienced a bizarre encounter with unknown forces. While driving, a brilliant light descended upon him, and he lost two weeks of memory. He was later found naked and disoriented. His car was discovered on a mountain with no road access, and the CB radio was fused. The military subjected him to psychological tests, revoked his security clearance, and dishonorably discharged him. Despite the negative impact on his life, Richard expresses curiosity and a vague warmth towards the beings who abducted him.

Alexandra's Experience: 'Beneficial UFO Beings Help Guide My Life'

Authored by Alexandra von Arnheim, this piece shares Alexandra's experiences, beginning at age five when a ball of light entered her room. Years later, the movie 'Close Encounters' triggered her memories of dreams involving a chasing searchlight, which she realized were related to UFO encounters. She recounts instances of premonition, including a near-fatal plane crash she avoided due to an intuitive urge to change planes. Alexandra also describes a telepathic communication with a being named Hermes and her belief that 'Space Brothers' guide her life.

'I Was Near Death When Aliens Rid My Body of Cancer'

This dramatic first-person account by 'Helen X.' details her battle with cancer. Diagnosed in May 1974, her cancer spread aggressively despite medical interventions. By October 1975, her condition was critical, and doctors gave her little hope. One night, she was called by a voice to meet 'them' on the road to Lund. There, she encountered a large, circular UFO and two small, metallic-suited beings who identified themselves as helpers. They performed a medical examination, including scanning her body with an apparatus and using instruments that seemed to draw out diseased material. Helen X. reports that after this encounter, her cancer disappeared, and she made a full recovery, despite doctors' initial prognosis.

Space Beings Give Scientist Key to Unlocking Cosmic Mysteries

This article focuses on the work of Canadian scientist Wilbert Smith, who investigated UFOs in the 1950s under the 'Project Magnet' initiative. Smith claimed to have established telepathic contact with 'Space Brothers' who shared advanced scientific knowledge. He developed a new theory encompassing physics, philosophy, and religion, suggesting that humanity's progress is hindered by a limited understanding of dimensions. Smith believed that these beings are on Earth with a mission to enlighten mankind and usher in a Golden Age. The article also touches upon the concept of a spiritual battle for humanity's mind between positive and negative forces.

Other Features and Advertisements

The issue includes advertisements for books such as 'PROJECT WORLD EVACUATION' by Tuella, 'SPACE GODS SPEAK,' and 'THE DYNAMICS OF COSMIC TELEPATHY' by Tuella, compiled by Tuella. There is also a promotion for a 'TELECRYSTAL' and a 'UFO Detector Kit.' A section titled 'YOU MAY BE A CONTACTEE AND NOT KNOW IT' provides a checklist of potential signs of UFO encounters. The article 'We Discovered Alien Bases On The Moon' by Fred Steckling is also featured, promoting a book with alleged photographic evidence of lunar bases.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the direct intervention of extraterrestrial beings in human affairs, particularly in healing and guidance. There is a strong emphasis on spiritual awareness and the 'New Age' as humanity prepares for greater contact with 'Space Brothers.' The editorial stance appears to be one of open acceptance and promotion of UFO phenomena, encouraging readers to explore these possibilities and consider themselves potential contactees. The publication actively promotes books and products related to UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, positioning itself as a source of information and a community for believers.

This issue of UFO REVIEW, dated November 1983, focuses on personal UFO encounters, alien contact, and New Age concepts. The cover story, "A MYSTERIOUS OBJECT PHOTOGRAPHED ME!" by TINA M., details a childhood encounter with a UFO. The magazine also features an extensive interview with Diane Tessman, author of "THE TRANSFORMATION," who discusses the 'Star Child' movement and her own experiences. Other articles explore the purported healing powers of crystals, prophecies of future events, and unexplained phenomena.

Cover Story: A MYSTERIOUS OBJECT PHOTOGRAPHED ME!

By TINA M. (OF HYDE PARK, N.Y.)

The article recounts a childhood experience in November 1957, where the author and her cousin, aged 11 and 9, witnessed a small, grey, dull metallic cylinder object drift down from the sky. The object stopped in mid-air, approximately 15-20 feet away, and appeared to take their picture using a black lens. The object was noiseless until it tipped on its side, making a small motor noise, before tipping upward and floating away. The author expresses a lingering feeling that there is more to the memory than she can consciously recall, and that the experience still haunts her.

Following this initial encounter, the author describes a subsequent memory, which she likens to a fantasy or dream, involving being hypnotized by the black lens. Three short, white-looking people emerged and led her and her cousin to a saucer-shaped object. Inside, they were made to lie down on tables and underwent a frightening medical examination by these beings and another individual with a powerful forcefield. After the examination, during which she became unconscious, they were dressed.

One of the aliens reportedly told them, "No, not now but there will be a time in the future" when they would be taken "to a place very far away." The author asked if her mother could come too, and received a vague response. After being led back to the spot near the cylinder object, they awoke to see the cylinder take off. The author highlights two frightening aspects: the aliens' power over humans and her inability to remember the year they promised to return. She appeals to readers who may have received similar information to share it.

Since this experience in 1957, her family and town have had numerous UFO sightings and strange experiences, with a NICAP office established nearby in the 1960s.

Crystal Power-Can It Change Your Life?

This section promotes the rediscovery of the miraculous healing powers of crystal, particularly clear quartz crystal. It suggests that ancient civilizations, like those who built the pyramids, treasured crystals as talismans of great power. The article lists several purported benefits of natural crystal, including:

• A measurable electrical charge, focusing power on the wearer.
• Emitting negative ions, expanding the wearer's energy field.
• Protecting the body from dark forces by absorbing light.
• A refractory index of 1.55, reflecting lesser vibrations and sending evil thoughts back to the sender when worn over the heart.
• Intensifying the mystic mind powers of the wearer.
• Automatically raising the wearer's consciousness.
• Balancing the wearer's magnetic field.
• Acting as a perfect pendulum for immediate and accurate answers to questions.

The article encourages readers to embrace the 'New Age' awakening and experience crystal power. It offers natural crystals, capped and layered in pure 24k gold, for $12.95 each or two for $22.95, plus $1.05 for postage and handling.

Diane Tessman - Transformation of a Star Person

This is an interview with Diane Tessman, conducted by TIMOTHY G. It details her book, "THE TRANSFORMATION," and her role as a proponent of the 'Star Child' movement. Tessman's experiences, beginning in childhood, have been verified by Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming, who believes she is not lying and that her story fits a pattern of flying saucer contactees.

Tessman has spoken at UFO conferences and on radio and television, gathering several hundred individuals who believe they are 'Star Children.' She has formed the Starlight Mystic Church and publishes a monthly newsletter, "The Star Network Heartline," aimed at those who believe they are not alone in the universe and that extraterrestrial minds may be inhabiting earthly bodies.

What is a Star Child?

Tessman defines 'Star People' in two ways: those who have had direct UFO contact in childhood that activated them, and enlightened humans who realize the need to think of Earth as a globe. She notes that many 'Star Children' feel different and alienated. She also mentions 'Tiebus' (J.T.K.), a channeled entity who assists her in identifying 'Star Children' through energy readings and psychometry.

Star Children's Mission and Abilities

Tessman believes 'Star Children' are here to fulfill a mission, possibly related to the critical period Earth is going through. She discusses various abilities among 'Star People,' including dynamic healing (both physical and emotional), adapting energy, interpreting for Space Brothers, teaching, artistic expression, and expertise in areas like crystals. She emphasizes that 'Star People' generally have a love for nature and animals and feel a connection to the universe.

Evacuation and the New Age

Tessman discusses the concept of a global evacuation, stating that animals will be taken along with humans, and that 'Star Children' will be allowed to bring their pets. She mentions the existence of 'huge space cities or even space countries orbiting outside our atmosphere' for life-forms from planets needing evacuation. She also explains that 'Star Children' will have various roles in the 'New Age,' including becoming crew members on spaceships, heralding the New Age on Earth after it has been cleansed, or seeding new planets.

The Cross of Crystal

Diane Tessman recounts a personal experience where she felt half human and half extraterrestrial, with the soul of her 'Special One' implanted into her electronically. She describes prophetic dreams of catastrophic events and a mass evacuation, with a crystal cross appearing in these visions. Subsequently, she found a crystal cross in her garden. Her 'Special One' explained its significance, linking it to the healing and spiritual powers of crystals used in Atlantis. She believes that carrying this powerful crystal cross can bring financial security, comfort, a decent job, and other benefits, and may even facilitate being taken to a heavenly realm or a peaceful dimension in space.

Tessman offers a FREE crystal cross with the purchase of her book, "THE TRANSFORMATION," which also includes her autobiography. She requests that recipients share their experiences after carrying the cross for thirty days. She also offers a free trial subscription to "INNER LIGHT" magazine for those who respond promptly.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a belief in UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, and New Age philosophies. There is a strong emphasis on personal experiences, psychic phenomena, and prophecies of future events, particularly concerning catastrophic changes and a coming 'New Age.' The editorial stance appears to be open to and supportive of these concepts, often presenting them as factual or highly plausible, and encouraging readers to explore these ideas further. The publication also functions as a marketplace for related books, services, and subscriptions.

This issue of UFO REVIEW, dated 1983, focuses on future prophecies, paranormal phenomena, and religious mysteries. The cover prominently features headlines about Nostradamus' unpublished prophecies concerning the Second Coming, the Anti-Christ, UFOs, and Armageddon, alongside claims of archaeological and biblical proof for the existence and power of the Ark of the Covenant.

Nostradamus: Unveiling Future Prophecies

The magazine presents Nostradamus as a highly accurate prophet who predicted major world events, including World Wars, aerial battles, Hitler's rise and fall, and the assassinations of the Kennedys. It highlights his prediction of the atomic bomb and space flights. For the future, Nostradamus is said to have foretold a war in the Middle East within five years, with intervention from major powers, and the coming of the Anti-Christ. He also spoke of a 'religious war' and the Vatican needing to relocate the tomb of St. Peter. The article touches upon the mystery surrounding Nostradamus himself, questioning if he was a wizard, a servant of God, a psychic, a devil worshipper, or an extraterrestrial.

Unpublished Quatrains and 'Black Prophecies'

A significant portion of the content is dedicated to Nostradamus' 'unpublished prophecies,' supposedly discovered hidden in his former home. These prophecies, circulated only to royalty and thought lost, are presented as more startling than his published works. They allegedly include predictions about the reappearance of Jesus, a friendly alien invasion, the elimination of disease, new inventions, a war in space, the time when night becomes day, the destruction of the Catholic Church and the last Pope, a great earthquake, riots in cities, and gold missing from Fort Knox. A special section on 'Black Prophecies' warns of devastating revelations concerning the end of the world and its physical transformation, sealed for those who can handle the truth.

The Ark of the Covenant: God's Secret Weapon

This section explores the Ark of the Covenant, drawing parallels to the movie "The Raiders of the Lost Ark." It asserts that the Ark, a sacred vessel from the Old Testament containing the Ten Commandments, possessed immense power. Described as a 'mercy seat' with cherubim, it was the means by which God spoke to Moses. The article suggests the Ark was a powerful nuclear reactor or a radio transmitter, capable of causing death to those who came into contact with it improperly. It is claimed that the Ark's power exceeded that of any atomic bomb and could also be used for benefit if God's words were obeyed. The text mentions its role in providing electricity and manna. The book "God's Secret Weapon" by David Medina is promoted, which theorizes about the Ark's current resting place and its potential future use.

UFOs and Extraterrestrial Contact

The magazine features an article by Wilbert Smith, who believed in 'Space Brothers' and their potential to help humanity. Smith's theories suggest that UFOs might be involved in 'cleaning' the 'aura' of cities, which records negative events. He believed that humanity is not alone and that contact with UFOs offers hope for living in harmony with the universe. The article also mentions the UFO Investigators League, an organization dedicated to investigating UFO cases and expanding its network of investigators.

Strange Places: Puerto Rico's Miraculous Events

This section highlights numerous paranormal and miraculous events occurring in Puerto Rico. It details reports of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, particularly at 'Holy Mountain' in San Lorenzo, where people claim to have received miraculous healings and divine messages. The article also recounts several UFO incidents, including sightings of luminous objects over the ocean and coast, and a mysterious disappearance of a plane that reported encountering a large luminous object. The connection between these events and the Bermuda Triangle is noted. The descriptions of the Virgin Mary as a 'being of light' are compared to descriptions of UFO occupants dressed in white luminous clothing.

Other Features and Advertisements

The issue includes classified advertisements for various services and publications related to UFOs, psychic readings, newsletters, and esoteric subjects. There are also ads for books such as "The Boys from Topside," "Message from Atlantis," and "Shavertron Magazine." A special religious degree course is offered, and a unique item called "Your Piece of the Power"—small stones from Mt. Shasta—is advertised.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are prophecy, the supernatural, extraterrestrial contact, and religious mysteries. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, presenting claims and theories from various sources, often with a sensationalist tone. The magazine promotes the idea that humanity is at a critical juncture, facing potential global crises and the possibility of divine or extraterrestrial intervention. There is a strong emphasis on the 'truth being known' and the need for readers to be aware of these unfolding events.
