UFO SIGHTINGS BOOK CORNER
Alternative Three
This section reviews the book 'Alternative Three' by Leslie Watkins, David Ambrose, and Christopher Miles. The book posits a conspiracy theory where the US and Soviet Union are secretly transplanting people to Martian colonies to save mankind from Earth's environmental collapse due to pollution and a greenhouse effect. The review notes that the book is fiction, based on a documentary that its producer later revealed to be imaginary. It points out scientific inaccuracies in the book, such as the assumption of air on Mars and the underestimation of plants' role in consuming carbon dioxide. The reviewer concludes that while the book offers entertainment for conspiracy enthusiasts, it acts as a smokescreen rather than clearing up mysteries about UFOs.
The Andreasson Affair
This review discusses Raymond E. Fowler's book, 'The Andreasson Affair,' which details a close encounter and abduction experience of Betty Andreasson. The reviewer finds the book to be a familiar narrative, offering nothing new compared to previous abduction accounts. The book's content, derived from hypnosis transcripts and drawings by Mrs. Andreasson, is presented. The reviewer criticizes the lack of 'hard' evidence, such as photos of aliens or their technology, stating that the world needs proof, not just personal testimonies, even if given under hypnosis. The book is published by Prentice-Hall, Inc.
In Search of Ancient Astronomies
This review covers the book 'In Search of Ancient Astronomies,' edited by Dr. E.C. Krupp. The book is a collection of essays based on lectures about archaeo-astronomy, the study of stone-age astronomy. It challenges the notion that primitive cultures were ignorant, suggesting they possessed sophisticated knowledge of geometry and astronomy derived from observing celestial bodies. Essays cover spherical astronomy, Neolithic stone rings in Britain and France, North American archaeoastronomy (cliffs, mounds, medicine wheels), Mesoamerican astronomy (Aztec and Maya architecture), and ancient Egyptian astronomical knowledge. The book also examines current 'heretical' theories by Velikovsky and von Däniken, pointing out their contradictions, and discusses the Dogon tribe's purported knowledge of the star Sirius.
Alien Dictionary Found!
This section is accompanied by an image of a mushroom cloud, likely representing a nuclear explosion, with the title 'ALIEN DICTIONARY FOUND!' This suggests an article related to deciphering alien language or communication, possibly linked to the mysterious force mentioned on the cover.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reality of alien visitation, the existence of a hidden or mysterious force influencing UFO phenomena, and the potential for alien interaction with humanity, both historically and in the future. The editorial stance is one of advocacy for the truth about UFOs and aliens, promising an uncensored and in-depth exploration of the subject matter. There is a clear skepticism towards conventional explanations and a leaning towards conspiracy theories and extraordinary claims, such as alien involvement in human history and the possibility of alien influence on global events.
This issue of UFO Investigators, dated by its issue number '15', focuses on the potential discovery of an alien dictionary and provides guidance on how to react to UFO sightings. The magazine is published by S.J. Publications, Inc. in the USA and is in English.
The Alien Dictionary Discovery
The lead article, written by Jason Murdoch, details his rendezvous with Professor Roger Haily of Howardson University's linguistics department. Professor Haily has discovered a small, yellow book with a unique cover material that is impossible to bend. The book contains pages of strange printing that do not correspond to any known language on Earth. Professor Haily believes it to be an alien dictionary.
Professor Haily explains that he found the book on a subway in New York City, left behind by a man he did not pay much attention to. He contacted Murdoch because he needed help deciphering it, as his university had limited resources.
Murdoch, recognizing the importance of this potential evidence of alien life not being suppressed by national security, agrees to help. They travel to the main office of Computer Innovations to use a C-813279Z computer, one of only three in the world.
After hours of work, Professor Haily determines that the book is an Aaogi-English, English-Aaogi dictionary. The Aaogi are identified as originating from the fourth planet in the Tau Ceti system. This discovery offers the possibility of understanding the Aaogi language, their culture, and their purposes on Earth.
However, Professor Haily notes that simply having definitions is not enough; understanding the grammar is crucial for communication. He estimates it could take months or years to fully decipher the grammar, but with the help of Murdoch's staff and the computer, they aim to compose a clear message.
They decide to publish this message in the magazine, believing that extraterrestrial races are aware of it. The message, written in Aaogi characters and translated as "We hope, if the Aaogi are still on Earth and have received this message, that they will contact us. We call to you in peace. We mean you no harm," is presented on page 15.
What to Do About a UFO Sighting
Authored by Paula Dean, this section provides a "Lifesaving Guide" for individuals who encounter a UFO. It emphasizes a common-sense approach to such events.
The primary advice is "don't panic." The article suggests staying calm, assessing the situation, and considering factors like air pollution, fatigue, or eyestrain that might affect perception. If doubts about sanity arise, seeking a second opinion from a trusted friend or neighbor is recommended.
If a sighting is confirmed, the next step is to alert authorities who can handle the situation. This includes contacting local observatories, planetariums, or relevant scientific minds. The article cautions against immediate, drastic actions like using a gun, as the creatures might be bullet-resistant or antagonized. It stresses that justice should prevail and that creatures should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
In a "close encounter of the third kind," the advice is to remain friendly but tentative. The article encourages controlling shock, even if the beings appear unusual, drawing parallels to science fiction like Star Wars. It suggests that if the extraterrestrial intelligence is interested and diplomatic, it would not act harmfully, and humans might be valuable for information.
If the situation escalates or becomes unmanageable, calling the police is advised, with an emphasis on conveying a desire for peace and preventing conflict. The article concludes by urging individuals to keep their wits about them and, in a friendly encounter, to mention that "we sent you" and to contact the magazine.
UFO Investigators League Promotion
Timothy Green Beckley, known as "Mr. UFO," promotes his work and the UFO Investigators League. He claims that documented evidence proves "Space Brothers" have assisted humanity in various ways, including locating treasures, solving personal problems, curing ailments, and heightening ESP abilities.
Beckley states that UFO sightings continue daily but are being suppressed. He believes that open contact with aliens will lead to drastic societal changes and a "New Age."
He invites readers to join the UFO Investigators League for a year, which includes an eight-issue subscription to "UFO REVIEW" (described as the world's only flying saucer newspaper), a membership card, a certificate, a field manual for interrogating witnesses, and a subscription to the confidential "UFO SPOTTERS NEWSLETTER." Members also receive discounts on UFO books and merchandise and can use their credentials for interviews. The cost for membership is $15.00, or $6.00 for an 8-issue subscription to UFO REVIEW.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine strongly advocates for the reality of UFOs and alien visitation. The editorial stance is one of openness to extraterrestrial contact, encouraging investigation and communication rather than fear or suppression. There is a clear belief that aliens are present on Earth and that humanity needs to be prepared for open contact. The magazine positions itself as a source of information and a platform for communication with these extraterrestrial visitors, as evidenced by the published message and the promotion of the UFO Investigators League.
This issue of UFO REPORT, dated 1979, focuses on the mysterious death of Andrew Holmes, a young geology student, in northern Michigan, and explores potential alien involvement. It also delves into theories of time travel and its connection to UFOs.
The Andrew Holmes Case
The lead story details the baffling death of Andrew Holmes, who was found dead during a solo hiking trip in northern Michigan. Despite being young and in good health, all standard autopsy tests, including those for poisons and drugs, came back negative. Doctors were unable to determine the cause of death, leading to the body being sent to the University of Michigan Hospital for further examination.
At the University of Michigan, Dr. John Mellon, a microbiologist, led the investigation. Using an electron microscope for the first time in an autopsy, they discovered extremely tiny microbes, unlike any known to science, in a scraping from Holmes' cheek. Dr. Mellon described these as a "new organism, a form of life that has never been seen before," and stated that while he didn't doubt it killed Holmes, he couldn't explain how or why.
The scientific team, including exobiologist Dr. Manuel Ortega, hypothesized that the "Holmes Microbe" was of extraterrestrial origin, as new organisms typically evolve from pre-existing ones and do not simply appear. This led to an investigation of UFO activity in the area where Holmes died. Although no sightings were reported, the vast and sparsely populated region could have easily concealed a UFO. A search team found a circular burn-mark approximately 20 feet in diameter, with three deep depressions 30 feet beyond it, suggesting the possibility of an alien spacecraft landing.
The article posits a hypothesis: an alien craft landed, its occupants encountered Holmes, and he was inadvertently infected by an alien microbe against which he had no defense, leading to his death.
Time Travel Solved!
Another significant section of the magazine explores Dr. Jean Killingsworth's research on time travel. Dr. Killingsworth, a scientist from the Manhattan Research Institute, has developed a unified field theory of space-time travel that she believes explains the frequent appearance of UFOs around Earth. She suggests that time travel, and potentially space travel, can be achieved economically through a method involving movement through space, time, and a third dimension.
Killingsworth's theory posits that space and time are not linear but can be traversed in multiple directions, including backwards. She explains that a time machine would need to account for the universe's motion to avoid ending up in an unintended location. Her model suggests eight possible methods of travel, with negative 'Dimension' readings indicating the most feasible for time travel outside the present continuum. She believes this advanced travel capability could account for UFO phenomena, as races billions of years more advanced than humans could reach us.
Other Content
The issue also includes a coupon for a book titled "STRANGE ENCOUNTERS & BIZARRE & EERIE CONTACTS WITH FLYING SAUCERS" by Timothy Green Beckley, which promises to reveal secrets about UFOs, alien abductions, and human-alien interbreeding. It also offers a subscription to "UFO REVIEW" newspaper.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine strongly leans into the idea that UFOs are real and pose significant implications for humanity. The Andrew Holmes case is presented as compelling evidence for extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs, specifically through the introduction of alien microbes. The article on time travel further supports the notion of advanced alien civilizations capable of traversing vast distances and time. The overall stance is one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, particularly those related to UFOs and potential alien contact, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional scientific understanding. The editorial seems to advocate for the belief that "we are not alone" and that UFOs are actively influencing or interacting with Earth.
This issue of UFO Magazine, likely from the early 1980s given the election references, explores a range of speculative and esoteric topics. The cover prominently features the headline "Is There An Alien President In The Making?", suggesting a focus on extraterrestrial influence in human affairs, particularly politics. The magazine also delves into theoretical physics concerning time travel and presents a variety of occult subjects.
Alien Plot to Control 1980 Election
The lead article, "Is There An Alien President In The Making?", details a startling claim that aliens are actively manipulating the 1980 US presidential election. The theory is presented as originating from a reader's letter describing a close encounter with a UFO. The letter recounts overhearing aliens discussing their plan to control the election by ensuring their chosen candidate wins, thereby gaining control of the country and influencing world decisions. The article suggests that aliens have already influenced the campaigns of major candidates like Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, making Carter appear unfavorable and pushing others to run. The magazine expresses concern that the aliens' next step might be to control the minds of American voters and hopes that exposure of their plot will deter them. It questions whether the next president will be an alien puppet and urges readers to choose wisely.
Theoretical Physics of Time Travel
Another significant section explores the theoretical possibilities of time travel. Dr. Killingsworth presents his "either/or" hypothesis, suggesting that every decision creates an infinite number of parallel universes. He posits that time travel might involve selecting a continuum closest to the traveler's desired destination. A key idea discussed is the potential role of black holes as energy sources for time travel. An alternative theory suggests that a time machine could create its own black hole by converting quarks into gluons, causing it to shrink and reappear in another time or dimension. The article acknowledges that this is a hypothesis requiring further research, particularly regarding the nature and interaction of gluons.
The Quest for Faster-Than-Light Travel
A related piece, "The Quest For", discusses the immense distances between stars and the limitations of current technology for interstellar travel. It highlights that even traveling at the speed of light, reaching the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, would take four years. The article explains Einstein's equations, which dictate that as matter accelerates, its length decreases and mass increases, with infinite mass and zero length occurring at the speed of light, making such travel impossible with current understanding. It concludes that voyages to other stars would likely take generations or lifetimes.
Occult Encounters of the Arco Kind
The magazine also features a substantial section dedicated to occult subjects, titled "Occult Encounters of the Arco Kind." This section offers a catalog of books on various esoteric practices, including:
- Tarot: "The Tarot: How to Use and Interpret the Cards" by Brian Innes.
- Astrology: "The Astrologer's Manual" by Landis Knight Green, "Horoscopes: How to Draw and Interpret Them" by Brian Innes, and "The History of Astrology" by Zolar.
- Palmistry: "Cheiro's Language of the Hand" by Cheiro.

The ad emphasizes that this ability can be used to achieve personal goals, influence business dealings, and gain social status. It includes an offer for a "SUCCESP Activator" and a free gift, "The Secret Worth $1,000," for $3.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue of UFO Magazine exhibits a strong interest in phenomena that challenge conventional understanding, including alleged alien interference in human affairs, theoretical physics pushing the boundaries of known science, and the exploration of occult and parapsychological subjects. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the unexplained and potentially extraordinary, presenting theories and claims as plausible subjects for investigation, even if they are speculative or controversial. There is a clear intent to inform readers about perceived threats (like alien control) and to offer avenues for personal empowerment (through occult knowledge or mind control techniques).
This issue of TELEPORTATION, dated page 41, delves into the speculative realms of instantaneous travel and extraterrestrial encounters. The cover features a striking image of a cryogenic 'freeze chamber' and poses the question of whether interstellar travel is possible, hinting at expert opinions that suggest a 'maybe.' The main article explores the current limitations and future possibilities of teleportation and cryogenics.
Teleportation Technology
The magazine details the efforts of the Teleportation Research and Development Administration (TRDA), established under the auspices of the Ancient Astronauts Foundation. The TRDA's ambitious goal is to develop a practical teleportation device by the year 2000, capable of instantaneously transporting matter across space-time. Currently, the technology is in its infancy, with successful experiments limited to teleporting minuscule glass beads over very short distances (up to 1.2 centimeters). These experiments have been energy-intensive, and the reconstitution of the beads at the destination has often resulted in a 'jumbled' state with molecular imperfections.
A key challenge in teleportation is the conversion of matter into energy and then reconverting it back to its original structure. Scientists are working to maintain the precise relationship between quarks and anti-quarks, the fundamental units of matter. While an energy 'envelope' naturally forms to keep the converted energy together during transmission, reconstituting the object's structural 'code' with sufficient accuracy is a monumental task. The energy requirements are enormous, though scientists believe the process could become self-supporting once a certain power output is achieved.
A significant hurdle is the requirement for a receiver at the destination. To achieve interstellar teleportation, a receiver would first need to be transported to the target planet by conventional means.
Cryogenics and Interstellar Travel
Alongside teleportation, cryogenics, or 'freeze-sleeping,' is presented as another potential method for interstellar travel. The Cryogenics Institute of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Andrea Simonson, is a prominent research institution in this field. Despite advancements, significant barriers remain, particularly in the process of revivification. The extreme cold can make living tissue brittle, and attempts to thaw frozen subjects have failed. Furthermore, preserving and restarting life processes without causing death is a complex challenge.
The Russian Revolution and Extraterrestrial Contact
The issue features a compelling narrative based on the translated diary of Nikolai Shkolnikov, a White Russian soldier during the 1917 revolution. The diary, discovered in a metallic can near the trans-Siberian railway, was analyzed by scientists at the Soviet Ministry of Cultural Preservation and later examined in the United States by Dr. Morris de Soto of the Iowa Center for Anthropological Studies.
Shkolnikov's diary entries detail the harsh realities of the revolution, but more remarkably, recount an encounter with an extraterrestrial being named Aatu. Aatu, who arrived in a spacecraft, is described as wearing a silver suit with a yellow skin and antennae. He claims to be from the planet Ko'fuur, the fourth planet in the Tau Ceti system, and that his race is much older than humanity. Aatu's government has a unified structure, with similarities to both American democracy and the Communist system. He states he is on Earth to help its people, not to harm them.
The diary entries describe Shkolnikov's growing friendship with Aatu, who struggles to comprehend human concepts like death. Aatu explains that the 'flash of light' Shkolnikov witnessed was the spacecraft's propulsion system, capable of crossing vast interstellar distances. The diary also touches upon the difficulties of the revolution, including Bolshevik attacks and severed supply lines.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores the intersection of science fiction and potential scientific reality. The editorial stance appears to be one of cautious optimism regarding future technological advancements like teleportation and cryogenics, while also embracing the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. The inclusion of the historical diary adds a layer of intrigue, blending historical events with speculative themes. The overall tone is one of wonder and exploration into the unknown, both in terms of scientific frontiers and potential encounters with other civilizations.
This issue of OMNI-COSMICS presents itself as a guide to unlocking hidden energy powers for personal gain and well-being, alongside a speculative article on the origins of dinosaurs and extraterrestrial involvement.
Omni-Cosmics: The Miracle Power
The magazine's central theme is the promotion of 'OMNI-COSMICS,' an alleged hidden energy power that promises to help individuals achieve wealth, control the thoughts of others, gain protection from evil, and make illness and pain disappear. The article, authored by Ann Fisher, an instructor of parapsychology, claims that with Omni-Cosmics, users can perform 'impossible' feats, such as transforming objects into magic mirrors, summoning entities, finding lost items, and healing the body.
Several testimonials are presented to support these claims:
- Financial Success: Florence, a poor woman, reportedly won $100,000 after using an Omni-Cosmics technique. John R., a factory worker, allegedly won $1,000 a week for life. David A., a student, financed his college education by winning $1,600 at the races.
- Relationship Control: Marilyn K. is said to have influenced her shy boyfriend, Kevin, to propose marriage using Omni-Cosmics.
- Career Advancement: Judy K. reportedly received a promotion and doubled her salary after using an Omni-Cosmics technique to influence her boss.
- Protection and Healing: John K. was supposedly saved from drowning by an invisible force. Pamela was warned by a voice to stop her car, avoiding a serious accident. Terry J.'s kidney ailment was healed, and Perry's ulcer and heart condition improved after using Omni-Cosmics health rituals.
- Weight Control and Youthfulness: Samantha reportedly lost 95 pounds, and Joyce W. lost 50 pounds, improving her health and appearance.
The article emphasizes that Omni-Cosmics responds instantly and can be used to avoid trouble, make correct decisions, and even tap into the spirit world and information about UFOs.
The Dinosaur Enigma: An Alien Experiment?
A significant portion of the magazine explores a theory about the origin and extinction of dinosaurs. The article posits that dinosaurs were not natural evolutionary products but rather a genetic experiment created by an alien race.
Evidence for this theory is presented through the discovery of a petrified tyrannosaur bone in Italy's Po Valley by an expedition led by Dr. Mario Vespucci. The bone contained a small, precise hole, approximately 3 mm in diameter and 2.5 cm deep, which scientists could not explain through natural processes or human intervention, as dinosaurs predated humans by millions of years.
Dr. Armand Sarris, a scientist researching teleportation, noticed the similarity between this hole and the ones he drilled in mice for monitoring their brain activity. This led to the hypothesis that the hole was for an implant, possibly an electrode.
Two main hypotheses are proposed regarding the aliens' purpose:
1. Observation: The aliens were studying the dinosaurs to acquire knowledge about them.
2. Experimentation: The dinosaurs themselves were a massive genetic experiment, an attempt to 'build' an intelligent race. This experiment, however, failed because the dinosaurs were not intelligent and never would be, even over millions of years. The aliens, realizing their mistake, swiftly eliminated them.
The article speculates on the implications for mankind, questioning whether humans might also be an alien experiment. It raises the chilling possibility that if humanity fails to meet alien expectations, we could face the same fate as the dinosaurs.
Supporting Content and Advertisements
The magazine also includes a diary entry from November and December 1917, detailing the struggles of soldiers against Bolsheviks and mentioning an extraterrestrial named Aatu who seemed unaffected by the cold and wore a special silver garment. The diary ends abruptly, leaving the nature of Aatu and his civilization a mystery.
Advertisements promote books on how to buy U.S. Government surplus items at low prices and how to find factory closeouts for significant savings. Another advertisement offers a newsletter with names and addresses of closeout and special offers. There is also a section promoting various books on financial success, including mail order business, beating inflation, tax breaks, job opportunities, self-reliance, electronic projects, casino gambling, race track betting, product formulas, oil leases, and borrowing money.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the power of the mind and esoteric knowledge (Omni-Cosmics), speculative science fiction (dinosaur origins, alien experiments), and practical advice for financial gain (government surplus, closeouts, business books). The editorial stance appears to be one that embraces extraordinary claims, particularly those related to paranormal phenomena, extraterrestrial life, and unconventional theories, while also catering to a readership interested in self-improvement and financial opportunities.
This issue of "UFO SIGHTINGS" focuses on the provocative theory that renowned science fiction author H.G. Wells may have been an extraterrestrial. The magazine presents this investigation as a groundbreaking revelation that could alter the understanding of literature and human history.
The "Alien" Theory of H.G. Wells
The central article details the research conducted by two British scientists, Dr. Simon Adams and Dr. Alfred May. They claim to have uncovered startling facts about H.G. Wells' life, suggesting he was not of human parentage. The scientists reportedly gained access to Wells' journals and diaries, which they believe provide evidence for his alien origins.
According to the article, Wells himself was unsure of his heritage and attributed his spectacular visions to "imagination" and "divine inspiration." However, Adams and May suggest this was a way to mask his true origins. They propose that Wells was adopted and spent his life searching for clues about his parentage, but only found frustration when looking for earthly ancestry.
Wells' fascination with space, his frequent use of a telescope, and his peculiar interest in comets are highlighted as further evidence of his predisposition towards believing he was alien in nature. His recently discovered diaries are said to be even more revelatory, with Wells feeling sure he came from a planet or stellar kingdom, possibly located to the north of Aldebaran. He believed that concepts like inter-galactic wars or time travel might have stemmed from a form of futuristic education by aliens, such as brain implantation.
The scientists also touch upon Wells' theories about future travel, suggesting it might not require a physical vessel but could be as simple as floating or flying, possibly involving a form of time travel or slipping through a time warp. This is linked to his novel concerning the same topic.
Scientific Investigation and Findings
The magazine's research team was immediately interested in this new find and dispatched investigators to gather information. After successfully gaining an audience with Dr. Adams and Dr. May, the team was reportedly excited by what they heard and saw. The scientists were described as respected members of the British scientific community, not prone to outlandish claims. They stated that they had suspended their credibility in the case until the facts came to light.
Adams and May claim to have been shown samples of Wells' diaries and Xeroxed pages from his library, which they say corroborate their findings. They assert that the evidence makes Wells' claim of coming from another world "more moot than vague" and that his calculations with planets were accurate, lending credence to his claim of being transported by superior beings.
Despite the scientists' conviction, the article notes that the search for evidence of Wells' past life as an alien, including digging up the remains of his secret cave, proved inconclusive. However, some interesting remnants of Wells' life were reportedly found.
Implications and Future Contact
The article speculates on the broader implications if H.G. Wells were indeed an alien. It suggests that aliens might be capable of implanting education or different technologies directly into human brains, potentially through tele-transportation. This raises the question of whether aliens could be educating Earth's writers, influencing the source of science fiction fantasy.
The Last Word
The concluding section, "The Last Word" by Russell Wiener, encourages readers to embrace the information presented. It states that the startling information is meant to inform, not scare, and that realizing the alien presence in society is a step towards building a stronger future. Wiener anticipates that aliens will eventually deem it fit to contact humanity, and that being prepared now will lessen the shock. He urges readers to "keep watching the skies and believing," asserting that true believers will be proven right in the end. The section also promotes the next issue of "UFO SIGHTINGS" as an "eye opener."
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on human culture, specifically through influential figures like H.G. Wells. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry into the UFO phenomenon, presenting speculative theories as potentially factual and encouraging belief in alien presence and future contact. The magazine positions itself as a source of "startling information" intended to inform the public about these possibilities.
