Key Articles and Features
Nostradamus' Outer Space Connection
Diane Tessman explores the possibility that the famous prophet Nostradamus was not a mere 16th-century earthling, but perhaps an extraterrestrial observer from the 'Higher Realms' who watched Earth's history unfold from outside of time. The article posits that his accurate predictions of future events, including global warfare, space flight, and the exact date of Earth's end (7000 A.D.), stem from this unique perspective. Tessman suggests that Nostradamus' mission was to warn humanity of impending disasters, such as nuclear threats and environmental damage, which he termed a 'dress rehearsal' for a final cataclysm. His extraordinary healing abilities, particularly with the plague, and his ability to foresee events hundreds of years in advance, are presented as evidence of his unearthly origins. The article also touches upon the idea that Earth may become a space-faring planet to survive.
UFO Encounters of U.S. Presidents
This section delves into the belief that the destiny of America has been revealed to its highest elected officials, particularly Presidents. It suggests that many of the nation's founding fathers, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, were well-versed in mystical practices. The article highlights that Presidents like FDR and Abraham Lincoln reportedly had premonitions of their deaths, and that leaders such as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Wilson, and Eisenhower could foresee future crises. It claims that evidence suggests UFOs and 'Space Brothers' have guided America's spiritual and material growth, and that the United States is destined to be the 'New Jerusalem' as predicted in the Book of Revelations. The article also mentions specific claims, such as Jimmy Carter's signed documents testifying to his encounter, Robert Kennedy's belief in disclosing UFO facts, and FDR's meeting with aliens.
The Pope's Secret Meeting with Contactee George Adamski
This article recounts George Adamski's alleged secret meeting with Pope John XXIII in Rome on May 31, 1963. Adamski, a prominent UFO contactee, claimed to have been given a special medallion by the Pope, which was a new ecumenical coin. The meeting, reportedly arranged through a 'pole' that ran through the Vatican, was not officially recorded. Adamski also claimed to have received a sealed message from Copenhagen to deliver to the Pope. The article notes Adamski's description of the Pope's appearance and his statement, 'I have been expecting you.' The text also touches on Adamski's earlier claims, including his first UFO sighting in 1946 and subsequent sightings of numerous saucers.
Arizona Man Taken Onboard Alien School Orbiting the Earth
This feature details the experience of Paris David Colorado, who claims he was abducted by a UFO on April 1, 1981. While camping in Oregon with a friend named Mark, Colorado reported seeing strange lights and feeling watched. Later, while driving, they encountered a large, luminous object that descended towards them. Colorado describes being drawn into a trance-like state, after which they found themselves back in their jeep, with a significant amount of time missing. He later contacted the FAA and a UFO reporting center, leading to an investigation. The article also mentions the mystical mountains of Southern California, suggesting they might be connected to extraterrestrial activity and possibly contain underground networks used by various alien races.
Close Encounter on Walk to Work
This short piece recounts the experience of Mr. Albert Prior of Keynsham, England, who, in January 1984, witnessed a pink, triangular object in the sky while walking to work. He described it as moving at tremendous speed. The article also briefly mentions a similar sighting in Northavon, England, on Christmas Day, where three residents saw a vivid yellow UFO.
The Astounding Dimensions We Do Not See
Hugh Cochrane discusses the limitations of human perception and scientific understanding of reality, particularly in relation to UFO phenomena. He introduces the concept of 'pattern-fields' or 'L-fields,' invisible energy forms that predate and control material existence. These fields are proposed to explain the shape and form of all matter, from atoms to human bodies. The article also touches upon the Cosmic Background Field (CBF) and the idea that reality is composed of rapidly flowing time segments, with matter ceasing to exist and being recreated in each segment. The concept of 'ether' and its potential role in UFO technology, allowing objects to vanish and reappear, is also explored.
Lou Zinsstag (1905-1984) - An Appreciation
This section is an appreciation of Lou Zinsstag, a pioneering Swiss UFO researcher and writer, by Timothy Good. Zinsstag, who died in 1984, became interested in UFOs in 1954 and later became George Adamski's Swiss co-worker. The article highlights her collaboration with Adamski, her research into Swiss UFO sightings, and her contributions to the magazine FLYING SAUCER REVIEW. It mentions her article on Carl Gustav Jung and her own UFO sightings. Timothy Good recalls his friendship with Zinsstag and their collaboration on the book 'George Adamski - The Untold Story.' Her deep concern about global issues and her belief that official secrecy on UFOs was driven by international financial interests are also noted. Her wish to have her extensive UFO archives deposited at Basle University Library was realized.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the profound connection between UFO phenomena, spiritual beliefs, and prophecy. There is a strong emphasis on the idea that extraterrestrial beings are not only observing humanity but may also be actively involved in guiding its destiny, particularly that of America. The magazine promotes a worldview where conventional scientific understanding is insufficient to grasp the true nature of reality, advocating for a more mystical and spiritual interpretation. The editorial stance appears to be one that embraces the possibility of alien contact, spiritual guidance from higher realms, and the validity of prophetic insights, often linking these to ancient wisdom and esoteric knowledge. The publication actively promotes books and services related to these themes, suggesting a commercial interest in fostering belief in these concepts among its readership.
This issue of UFO Review, identified by its page number "UFO REVIEW PAGE 11" and a cover date that appears to be around January 1985 (based on context and typical publication cycles), focuses on the theme of "Close Encounters of the Spiritual Kind." The cover boldly asks if dreams of far-off worlds and benevolent space beings are "implanted" to awaken humanity into a new age of universal enlightenment. The magazine features articles exploring psychic and spiritual extraterrestrial contacts, presidential encounters with aliens, and New Age philosophies.
Close Encounters of the Spiritual Kind
The main article, "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE SPIRITUAL KIND" by Phillel of Mark-Age, introduces the concept of spiritual encounters with "space brothers." Phillel, who works for the Mark-Age spiritual-educational organization and has trained with Nada-Yolanda, a renowned spiritual contactee, argues that these experiences are part of a planetary program to educate the masses about universal life and stimulate spiritual awakening. He contrasts these spiritual encounters with Dr. J. Allen Hynek's definition of "close encounters of the third kind" (physical contact with UFO occupants), suggesting that the current era is characterized by an increase in inner-plane experiences.
Phillel posits that the "Federation of Planets" has been inspiring a mass educational program through films, books, and television, all promoting New Age ideas. He believes these spiritual encounters are a significant aspect of this program, designed to prepare humanity for a new age of universal enlightenment. The article also mentions that Phillel has had his own interdimensional space contacts and has been trained as a channel for "space-beam energies."
Presidential Encounters and Alien Contact
Several articles delve into alleged encounters between US presidents and extraterrestrials. Dr. Frank E. Stranges, an author and president of the International Evangelism Crusades, is featured discussing his belief that many presidents have had spiritual experiences and encounters with "space people." He claims that George Washington had a spiritual experience at Valley Forge, Abraham Lincoln was contacted by "space people" during the Civil War, and Franklin Roosevelt was warned by an "angelic being" about US involvement in a European war.
More specific accounts are given for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who is said to have met with "space aliens" in 1954 at Edwards Air Force Base (then Muroc Airfield). According to Stranges and confirmed by Earl of Clancarty and Charles Berlitz, three UFOs landed, and Eisenhower, along with other high-ranking officials, witnessed one craft dematerialize and then materialize. This event is claimed to have contributed to Eisenhower's first heart attack. The article also mentions that President Nixon and subsequent presidents have visited the site and seen the craft.
Ronald Reagan is described as a "Mystery Man" with membership in the National Investigation Committee on UFOs. Despite promises to investigate UFOs, he allegedly did not follow through after becoming governor and later president. The article also touches upon Robert Kennedy's interest in UFOs and his alleged meeting with "Val Thor," a "Space Brother," shortly before his death.
The Shaver Mystery and Inner Earth
A section highlights "THE SHAVER MYSTERY: THE INNER EARTH" by Timothy Green Beckley, assisted by Dr. Raymond Bernard. This excerpt discusses Richard Shaver's claims of discovering a race of beings, both good and evil, living inside the Earth, who attempt to control human lives. It also mentions the "Green Children of Wulfpetters," "Atlantis from the Inner Earth," and "Rainbow City," suggesting a connection between folklore and potential underground civilizations.
Diane Tessman's "Cross of Crystal"
Diane Tessman, an ordained minister and pastor of San Diego's Starlight Mystic Church, shares her personal story of transformation. She claims that after a period of financial hardship, her life improved due to a "strange artifact" she found in her garden: a "Cross of Crystal." Tessman believes this artifact was placed there by "beneficial beings from another dimension" whom she feels a deep connection to, possibly being half-human and half-extraterrestrial herself. She describes prophetic dreams of catastrophic events and a mass evacuation led by Jesus, with a crystal cross appearing as a symbol of hope. Tessman offers copies of her book, "THE TRANSFORMATION," which includes her autobiography and the crystal cross, as a means for others to receive financial security, love, and spiritual awakening.
New Age Prophecies and Space Brothers
Another significant feature is "A VOICE FROM SPACE OFFERS SALVATION" concerning "channeled prophecies" from "THE SPACE BROTHERS," particularly "Ashtar-Commander." This section introduces the book "NEW WORLD ORDER," which contains messages from Ashtar and his "Free Federation of Planets." These messages offer solutions to earthly problems, warn of potential destruction if humanity doesn't change its ways, and promote New Age teachings of spiritual brotherhood. Topics covered include the futility of world wars, the secret mission of Space Brothers, spiritual development, the selection of "Chosen Ones" for removal during a global disaster, and the development of psychic powers. The article also mentions the existence of negative beings infiltrating governments and the potential for a "New Age" of love, peace, and prosperity.
UFO Investigations and Case Studies
The magazine promotes the "UFO INVESTIGATORS LEAGUE," seeking qualified researchers to advance UFOlogy. Members receive a membership card, certificate, field manual, a confidential newsletter, and photographs of spacecraft. The league aims to expand an international network of investigators.
Several case studies are presented, including "THE FLIGHT OF THE WOMBAT" by Gray Barker, discussing George Gresham's claims of inventing a "Flying Saucer" and Otis T. Carr's attempts to build a circular vehicle. "We Discovered Alien Bases On The Moon" by Fred Steckling is advertised, presenting photographic evidence of alleged alien bases on the moon. The "ASTOUNDING DIMENSIONS" section explores theories about a "rogue force" component in reality that could cause spontaneous events, including disappearances, and the potential for extraterrestrials to interact with or rescue individuals caught in such phenomena.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes throughout this issue are the spiritual and psychic aspects of UFO encounters, the potential for humanity's spiritual awakening and enlightenment through contact with "space brothers," and the belief in advanced extraterrestrial intelligences influencing human affairs, including historical events and presidential actions. The editorial stance appears to be one of openness to these phenomena, encouraging investigation and belief in a "New Age" of universal brotherhood and spiritual progression, often framed within a religious or mystical context.
This issue of UFO REVIEW, dated Page 21, presents a diverse collection of articles focusing on paranormal phenomena, ancient civilizations, and scientific mysteries.
