Key Articles and Features

U.S. Intelligence Operatives Admit Secret Meeting with Alien Representative

This feature presents what it claims is "incontrovertible, documented proof" of contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. Two operatives, using the aliases John Hart and Thomas Meecham, claim to have met with an alien representative. They state they are high-echelon employees of the U.S. Government, with Hart having 20 years of intelligence experience and Meecham's background tracing back to the OSS. They assert they have no personal gain from revealing this information and that their purpose was to convince publishers to print their story, suggesting the government is finally opening up about these contacts.

The meeting was arranged three weeks in advance and took place on September 14, 1977, at 10:00 a.m. in the editorial conference room. The operatives were serious and convincing, offering their information in a monotone without sensationalism. They requested that their physical descriptions not be published due to their need to protect their cover.

Contact was allegedly made through a CIA computer system called WALNUT, developed by IBM. On June 23, 1977, the system reportedly went haywire, displaying the message: "We want to talk to you. A representative is waiting. Show this to your superior." This message led to a telephone call and a subsequent meeting arranged for 3 a.m. on July 17, 1977, in a conference room at the CIA's headquarters in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Hart and Meecham were told they were selected for their "unflappable dispositions." They were informed that the alien representative would not present himself to more than two people and that physical contact would occur in an empty conference room. They confirmed they were not armed, only carrying a pencil, notepad, and a tiny automated camera hidden in the room. The room contained an inscription: "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. John VIII-XXXII."

They were given a typewritten sheet of questions to ask the alien. The alien, described as tallish and athletic-looking with extremely pale skin and blond hair, approached slowly. When asked where they were from, the alien replied, "I am not permitted to reveal that information except to say that we live in the same galaxy." The purpose of their visit was "to study your technology." The alien's response to a question about human technology was blunt: "Primitive."

When asked how they arrived, the alien stated, "By disc," and described its speed as "Limitless." The alien then delivered a stark message about humanity: "You are animals! You have an Eden here and you are destroying it with your wars, violence, wanton killings, your pollution and contamination of your atmosphere. You are fools!"

Regarding the space program, the alien called it "infantile" and stated humans would not succeed until they could break away from gravitational pull without force. The alien also revealed that its planet did not have a nourishing sun, and it was dying, just as Earth's would someday. When asked about an invasion, the alien responded, "Perhaps. It depends on which of the..." The sentence was cut off.

Close Encounters Data Bank: Marie Jorgenson's Account

This section features an exact transcription of a tape-recorded interview from November 19, 1977, with Ms. Marie Jorgenson, a 38-year-old payroll accountant from Wannituck, Indiana. She recounts a terrifying experience on September 14, 1977, after working late.

While walking to her car, parked about a ten-minute walk away, she felt scared due to the deserted streets and pitch-black conditions. She described the town as small with few police officers. Upon entering her blue Dodge Dart, she felt an unsettling presence, a nagging feeling that someone was in the back seat, despite the car being locked and windows rolled up.

Upon reaching into the back seat to prove herself wrong, she felt a "living thing" crouching on the floor. She froze in fear as she heard a movement and something clambering onto the seat. She was too scared to move or scream. Forcing herself to look in the rearview mirror, she saw a "tiny man-like creature" sitting on the back seat, grinning at her. She described its head as "extremely tiny," like shrunken heads, with rows of "tiny white teeth" and "dull, glowing red" eyes that seemed to look directly into hers.

Overwhelmed, she opened the car door and ran without direction. Someone called the police. When they arrived, they listened but clearly didn't believe her. She pleaded with them to check her car for the creature, but by the time they agreed to investigate, nearly an hour had passed, and the car was empty. She hopes that by sharing her story, people will take the situation seriously and recognize potential danger.

Psychic Predictions and Future Warnings

Several articles touch upon future events and psychic insights. One piece, "PHYSICS ALERT THE WORLD: 1982 WILL BE YEAR OF GREAT UFO INVASION," warns of impending disaster. It cites psychics like Edgar Cayce and Jeane Dixon, who predicted "troubled times" and a "great physical holocaust" involving land shifts and tidal waves. Seismographs have reportedly registered an unusual number of earth tremors, suggesting imminent global catastrophe.

Another section, "THE 'SPACE BROTHERS' WANT YOU TO ESCAPE THE COMING HOLOCAUST THAT THREATENS TO DESTROY OUR WORLD...", suggests a way out through contact with "Space People." These beings, described as having developed psychic abilities and the capacity to travel into the future, are offering aid. The article promotes a book that promises to have a positive effect on the reader's life and offers a free guideline on how to contact these "Space People" with the purchase of the book "UFO PROPHECY" by Arthur Shuttlewood.

The magazine also advertises "UFO REVIEW," described as the world's only flying saucer newspaper, full of authentic photos and evidence of government cover-ups.

Other Features

• HUMANOIDS INVATE ENGLAND: This article likely details sightings or encounters with humanoid figures in England.
• HUNTED DOWN BY A UFO: An eyewitness account of being pursued by a UFO.
• WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SEE A FLYING SAUCER: Provides guidance for individuals who witness a UFO.
• THE STAR CHILDREN: PSYCHIC OFFSPRING OF THE SPACE GODS?: Explores a connection between psychic abilities and extraterrestrial origins.
• HELD CAPTIVE IN AN ALIEN BREEDING EXPERIMENT: A potentially disturbing account of abduction and experimentation.

Advertisements in the magazine promote books on astrology, tarot, hypnotism, fortune-telling, and martial arts, alongside services like a "SWINGERS' HOTLINE" and a weight-gain program called "HERCUPLAN."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO SIGHTINGS are government secrecy regarding extraterrestrial contact, the imminent threat of global catastrophe (possibly linked to UFOs or natural disasters), and the potential for salvation through contact with benevolent alien beings or psychic insights. The editorial stance appears to be one of alarm regarding current world events and a strong belief in the reality of UFOs and alien visitation, urging readers to be aware and prepared for significant future events. The magazine actively promotes books and subscriptions related to these topics, suggesting a commercial interest in fostering belief and engagement with the subject matter.

This issue of OMNI-COSMICS magazine, dated 1981, is a comprehensive exploration of paranormal phenomena, psychic abilities, and self-help techniques, with a strong emphasis on UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. It also includes a special tribute to John Lennon.

Alien Encounter and Predictions

The magazine details an interview conducted by operatives Hart and Meecham with an alien representative. The alien describes its people as intellectually superior and critical of humanity's destructive behavior, citing wars, violence, pollution, and contamination. The alien reveals that its people are seeking an alternate home due to their planet's lack of sufficient sunlight. It also claims that some of their people are already present on Earth, working for 'everlasting peace' by suppressing their own intelligence to match human levels and manipulating technology, including a 'WALNUT computer.' The alien warns that any invasion would be surreptitious, and that humanity is not ready for space visitors.

Several psychics are featured, predicting significant events. California psychic Barry Andrews claims direct telepathic contact with alien 'overlords' who are guiding humanity's development. He predicts a mass UFO landing on June 24, 1982, in major world capitals, stating the aliens' intentions are strictly peaceful and that humans will have qualified for the 'cosmic fellowship.' Andrews' prediction accuracy is noted as over 92%.

ESP expert Richard DuMont describes a vision of the 1982 UFO invasion, including a glowing disc over the World Trade Center and a landing in Times Square. Indiana psychic Margaret Powers believes a cultural and economic exchange with an extraterrestrial civilization will occur within a decade.

Psychic Powers and Self-Help

The magazine heavily promotes the 'Miracle Power of OMNI-COSMICS' and 'Psychic Telemetry,' presented by Ann Fisher and Robert A. Ferguson, respectively. These sections offer readers methods to achieve wealth, love, health, and protection through specific 'magic words' and rituals.

Ann Fisher, an instructor of parapsychology, claims OMNI-COSMICS can produce money, heal illness, control thoughts, find lost items, and enable astral travel. Testimonials include a woman winning $100,000, a factory worker winning $1,000 a week for life, and a student picking nine horse race winners.

Robert A. Ferguson, a psychic telemetrist, details how 'magic words' can command miracles in minutes. He provides examples of instant financial windfalls, including a woman winning over $500,000 in a contest, and rapid healing, such as a man's arthritis being cured in fifteen minutes and a lung spot vanishing. He also explains how these powers can be used to influence others, find love, gain secret knowledge, and protect oneself from evil.

UFO Phenomenon and Encounters

The issue touches upon the history of UFO sightings, referencing Kenneth Arnold's 1947 encounter. It suggests that early UFO reports were designed to study human behavior and resources, with aliens monitoring radio and television signals. A specific incident in Great Britain in 1976, involving a humanoid creature materializing and disappearing, is highlighted as a 'close encounter of the third kind,' leading to speculation of a humanoid invasion.

John Lennon Memorial Issue

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to promoting a special collector's edition magazine titled 'MEMORIAL ISSUE-JOHN LENNON 1940-1980 YOU'LL NEVER DIE.' This tribute is described as capturing Lennon's spirit and creativity, featuring rare photos and personal recollections, and is presented as a wise investment and cherished memento.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the potential for extraterrestrial contact and invasion, the power of psychic abilities and the paranormal, and the promise of self-improvement through mystical or esoteric means. The editorial stance appears to be one that embraces and promotes these concepts, encouraging readers to believe in and utilize these extraordinary phenomena for personal gain and understanding. There is a clear effort to present these topics as factual and accessible, often backed by testimonials and predictions from psychics and alleged experiencers.

This issue of the magazine, titled "DO SPACE ALIENS CONTROL GREAT BRITAIN?", focuses on summarizing UFO events and alleged alien encounters that occurred in the United Kingdom, particularly in 1976, which is referred to as "The Year of the Humanoids". The content suggests a possible extraterrestrial influence or control over Great Britain.

Key Articles and Reports

The Mr. L. Encounter (West Yorkshire)

The article begins by detailing an encounter experienced by a participant referred to as Mr. L., which took place in a small town near Leeds, West Yorkshire. This event is highlighted for its similarities to the famous Betty and Barney Hill encounter. Mr. L., a local government employee, reported that two entities appeared by his bedside. These beings were described as tall (one between six and seven feet), with long, thin faces, extended noses, and thin lips. Their eyes were narrow with cat-like pupils, and their skin was ashen grey. They wore white, one-piece suits with belts and high necks. Mr. L. felt a sense of warmth from them but perceived them as troubled. He was shown a mental image of a 'U' tubing that needed repair, which he thought would be simple. The entities then invited him to see their craft. The transfer to the craft involved Mr. L. lying flat, arms folded, feet together, and feeling paralyzed and drawn upwards by a tingling sensation. He assumes the object was hovering outside his home. The method of transfer was unusual, and he felt drawn upwards into the object.

Alleged Humanoid Remains in Aurora

A highly placed government source is cited, stating that alleged humanoid remains found in Aurora are being kept for study in a sealed, pressurized vault in a government lab in London. The nature of these remains and their origin are not further detailed.

Ancient Computers Found in Cavern

A significant discovery is reported: ancient computers found in a partially collapsed cavern deep underground by English police, five miles outside a country village called Rawlings. The government was reportedly unaware of this complex. The machines are described as entirely unknown, with functions not yet conclusively determined. There is evidence suggesting they could link up with any communications network in the world, raising concerns about a potential attempt to control worldwide communications. It is noted that no country on Earth is known to have the capability to produce such machines.

The Mr. L. Experience Aboard the Craft

Mr. L. recalls being strapped to a long, cold, metallic table, surrounded by eight human-like entities with unusually pointed features. They peered down at him, observing him as if he were a microbe. He was warned not to move, as remaining still would prevent pain, while struggling would increase discomfort. He described the object as looking like a bathtub placed upside down, glowing a golden color. His memory of the experience is hazy, with only brief snatches recalled. Regression hypnosis is not commonly used in Britain, leading to less detailed accounts. Inside, he was in a large room and lying on a table in an anesthetized condition, unable to move but aware of his surroundings. Eight entities, similar to the two he first saw, stood in pairs. Above his head was a large, eye-shaped machine of purple/red color, which seemed to be exploring his body. When Mr. L. asked questions, including one about the religion of the entities and the existence of God, he received a cool response: "An insignificant being such as a worm should not ask such things. A thousand of your years are but a day to us."

Edward Strand's Video Transmissions

Electronics expert Edward Strand has reportedly picked up unusual images on an experimental high-frequency video receiver. These images are believed to include shots of experiments performed on humanoid subjects, transmitted by an alien civilization to share scientific discoveries. Local UFO experts are convinced of the authenticity of these transmissions.

The Mrs. Kent Encounter (Manchester)

Mrs. Kent, a middle-aged lady from Higher Fold in Greater Manchester, reported an encounter on May 11. While walking, she saw a silvery sphere on a small hillock, beaming a light downwards. Beside it stood a man in a completely silvery suit, wearing a cloak, pointed hat, and boots. His face was not visible due to the brilliance of the reflection. The entity was larger than the craft, possibly a perspective effect. She was frightened and took a different route home. Upon returning later, there was no sign of the figure or sphere, and an investigation found no traces.

The Mrs. Hamilton Case (Belfast)

Throughout the summer, reports emerged of strange events in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A housewife named Mrs. Hamilton claimed to be having regular trips with spacemen. This case is still under investigation as she continues to meet these entities. Although only she can see them, others have reported seeing strange lights in the sky when she claims spacecraft are present. She states she has been spiritually lifted into their craft, similar to Mr. L.'s experience. She has not seen the craft from the outside, but describes the interior as consisting of many large, clean rooms. She has been shown Ireland from the air and claims the entities want her to write a book about their methods. In return, she has been given 'psychic powers' and protection for her family, along with beneficial predictions. They reportedly come from undiscovered planets but have bases on the dark side of the moon, and have abducted people who disappear without trace, living with them.

The Fencehouses Sighting (County Durham)

On September 3, a sighting occurred in Fencehouses, County Durham, involving two women, aged 63 and 18. They encountered a strange object resting on a mound of earth, approximately five feet long and 3 to 3.5 feet high. The object had a bullet-like central portion with a flattened end, apparently made of glass-like material, topped with a bright orange dome. It rested on runners. The witnesses were drawn to the object, and a moderate breeze stopped, creating a silence that pervaded the air. Their watches also stopped. The elderly lady touched the craft and felt its smooth sides and a warmth. Two small entities, described as doll-like with long white hair and claw-like hands, appeared by the craft. They seemed startled and covered their faces. The entities quickly scrambled back inside, and the craft took off with a humming noise. The elderly witness later experienced difficulty plugging in a vacuum cleaner, as if a force was pushing her hand back.

The Jim Strachey Encounter (South Carolina, USA)

This section details an account from Jim Strachey, a reporter from Fort Mill, South Carolina. He claims that about a week prior to the interview, while hunting on Frank's land near a creek, he saw a UFO. He fired his rifle at it, hitting something that made a loud 'ping!' sound, described as being made of metal. He then discovered a circular, disc-shaped object, about 40 feet in diameter, made of shiny aluminum, lying on the ground. He initially thought it was a secret government aircraft. He then saw four entities, about three and a half feet tall, wearing silvery suits and helmets with dark glass covers. They had unusual thumbs. They were chattering in a strange language and pointing at the UFO. Strachey realized they were hunting him. A beam of red light shot out from a tube on the UFO, hitting him in the shoulder, causing heat and a sensation like being hit hard. It knocked him off his feet, and his hunting jacket caught fire. He managed to climb a tree to escape the three entities who were pursuing him. He felt paralyzed and weak, possibly from the beam or fear. The entities surrounded the tree, pointing up at him.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly suggests a theme of extraterrestrial influence and potential control over Great Britain, as indicated by the title. The reports consistently describe encounters with non-human entities, alleged abductions, and the presence of advanced technology. The magazine appears to present these accounts as credible, with a focus on witness testimony and, in some cases, physical evidence (like Jim Strachey's shoulder injury). The editorial stance seems to be one of serious investigation into these phenomena, encouraging readers to consider the possibility of alien presence and their potential motives, such as the control of global communications or the abduction of humans. The similarity between disparate cases, like Mr. L. and Mrs. Hamilton, is highlighted as significant, implying a coordinated or widespread extraterrestrial activity. The article also touches upon the government's potential knowledge or secrecy regarding these events, such as the alleged humanoid remains in London.

This issue of Arco Aviation Books, presented by S.J. Publications, Inc., focuses on UFO encounters and the physical evidence associated with them. It includes detailed personal accounts, scientific analysis of fragments, and advice for witnesses.

"Hunted Down By A UFO!"

This section features a first-person account from an individual named Jim who describes a terrifying encounter with occupants of a UFO. While hiding in a tree, Jim was targeted by beams of light and an 'electric force field' from the beings. He recounts how he managed to shoot and incapacitate the leader and three other occupants with his rifle. Despite his initial relief, Jim was again hit by the electric force field and beams, eventually losing his rifle. The encounter ended when a second UFO appeared, and the occupants retreated to their craft before both UFOs departed rapidly. Jim suffered physical injuries, including a hurt shoulder, and experienced vision problems and headaches. The narrator later visited the site and found physical evidence such as a circular depression, ripple-soled footprints, and burn marks on the tree, which solidified his belief in Jim's story. The incident raises the question of whether UFOnauts might interpret human actions, like hunting, as hostile and suggests that some disappearances might be related to alien 'hunting trips.'

"WE'VE COME FOR YOU, MR. MARTIN"

This article details the experience of Dan Martin of Detroit, who claimed to have been confronted by a man and woman from another planet in June 1956. They invited him on a journey aboard their spaceship. The article notes that while 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' is fiction, many believe spaceships have landed and aliens have intermingled with society. Dan Martin's encounter involved a craft that appeared like a D.R. Diesel locomotive, hovering off the ground. A woman emerged, described as attractive and normal-looking, not 'spooky.' She revealed they were from the planet Mercury, countering his skepticism about life on Mercury due to its proximity to the sun. After a brief conversation, she returned to the ship, which then took off at a sharp angle without any sound. Martin kept this experience secret for over a year until a similar encounter occurred in June 1956, where he was again invited for a journey on a spaceship. A photograph taken by Martin shows the alien vehicle as it departs.

The UFO Fragments

This section, titled 'Close Encounters Type II: The UFO Fragments,' focuses on the physical evidence found in conjunction with UFO sightings. It categorizes such evidence as large counterclockwise swirls, burnt circles (UFO rings), and fragments possibly from UFOs. The discovery of UFO fragments is described as rare and important for understanding UFO construction. The article highlights the 1908 Tungus event in Siberia, which involved a massive explosion attributed to a cosmic body, and mentions Soviet scientists' announcement of 'unusual nature' metallic fragments found at the site. It notes the increasing scientific analysis of such cases by world UFO organizations. The analysis of physical evidence requires a wide range of scientific skills, including tests for magnetism, radioactivity, spectrographic analysis, and acid tests, with advanced techniques like X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry also employed. Several organizations are mentioned as providing free analysis of suspected UFO fragments, including CUFOS, MUFON, APRO, and IUFOR, as well as collaborations with Brown University and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory.

Chemical Traces

Chemical traces found in UFO rings include peculiar circular patches of burnt soil and dying vegetation, sometimes containing strange crystalline structures, as seen in the Delphos, Kansas, case. Another case near Erie, Pennsylvania, involved a thick, clear fluid. Other chemical traces reported are from UFO fly-over cases, such as a soft, transparent oil in Wolokalamsk, Poland, in 1832, which revealed a strange, unknown acid. The phenomenon of 'angel's hair' falling from UFOs is also discussed, with an analysis of strands collected in Sudbury, Massachusetts, revealing them to be 95% organic and 5% inorganic, with an unidentified source.

Physical Traces

Physical traces are solid, often metallic fragments from UFOs. Several institutions possess such fragments. Examples include a metal plate found in Brazil after a reported UFO landing in 1965, metal fragments from a UFO encounter on the Paraiba River in Brazil (1965), and fragments found after a UFO landing near Scoriton Down, UK (1965). Brown University is analyzing metallic slivers found in New Jersey, which are composed of peculiar heart-shaped crystals. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory has fragments from an object that exploded over a lake in Northern California, described as yellow metallic, resistant to acids, and having the appearance and density of pure silicon but being electrical conductors. Tests on fragments from the Socorro, New Mexico, case revealed them to consist almost exclusively of iron with traces of other elements, having a non-magnetic, crystalline structure with very little silicon. The article also mentions the importance of turning supposed UFO fragments over to competent civilian authorities.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SEE A FLYING SAUCER:

This final section, presented as a cover story, offers guidance on how to act and who to contact when encountering a flying saucer.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents UFO phenomena as a serious subject warranting investigation and analysis. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-mindedness towards witness testimony and the pursuit of physical evidence. There is an underlying theme of potential danger or hostility from extraterrestrial visitors, as suggested by the 'hunted' narrative and the question of whether UFOnauts might view humans as inferior prey. The publication emphasizes the importance of scientific analysis of UFO-related evidence and encourages the public to be aware of these phenomena.

This issue, identified by the number '41' and dated 1981, focuses on 'Close Encounter Procedural Guidelines' and introduces the concept of 'The Star Children.' It provides practical advice for individuals who might experience a close encounter with a UFO and explores the phenomenon of children with alleged psychic abilities, possibly of extraterrestrial origin.

Close Encounter Procedural Guidelines

The lead article offers a step-by-step guide for individuals who may encounter a UFO or its occupants. It stresses the importance of remaining calm and not panicking, as erratic behavior could be perceived as a threat or make one susceptible to mind control. Key advice includes staying hidden if not yet spotted, and above all, never running toward a UFO, as they are surrounded by a high-intensity electrical field that could be harmful. Witnesses have reported mysterious illnesses after contact with the metallic hull of UFOs, suggesting they may be radioactive.

If alien beings emerge, observers are advised to watch their actions closely to determine their intentions, whether they are performing maintenance, collecting samples, or engaging in other activities. The article warns that not all UFOnauts are friendly.

• Specific procedural steps are outlined:
• Keep a Level Head: Avoid emotional outbursts that could alert aliens to your position or make you susceptible to mind control.
• Remain Completely Still: Unless your life is in immediate danger, sudden movements can provoke hostile action.
• Make a Mental Note of All Relevant Facts: Record the date, time, location, appearance of occupants and their craft, any identifying marks, and their speech or gestures. Gauge the tone of their speech (hostile or friendly).
• If You Are Spotted, Make a Friendly Gesture: If aliens are not hostile, a simple gesture like raising an open hand can be a sign of greeting. Avoid appearing to conceal a weapon.
• Contact Your Local UFO Organization: The article strongly advises against contacting government agencies like the police or Air Force, suggesting they have a policy of discrediting UFO sightings. Instead, it recommends reaching out to UFO organizations, providing a bibliography of major ones elsewhere in the issue.

An anecdotal account from L.M. Ralph Adenouser of Seville, Pennsylvania, describes seeing a hovering saucer while mowing his lawn. The craft caused neighborhood dogs to bark, and he managed to photograph it before it departed.

The Star Children

The issue introduces the concept of 'Star Children' – individuals, often children, who exhibit extraordinary intelligence and psychic abilities, believed by some to be of extraterrestrial origin. The article details the case of Tad Robinson, a seven-year-old boy from Seattle, Washington, whose uncanny predictions and lack of childhood illnesses have baffled scientists.

Melinda Robinson, Tad's mother, recounts a 'dream' from 1970 where she encountered a landed UFO and its occupants. They told her she was pregnant and that her child would be 'special,' possessing powers given by the UFO beings. Initially dismissing it as a dream, she later discovered she was indeed pregnant, leading her to believe the encounter was real.

Dr. David Rosen, a psychiatrist specializing in hypnotic therapy, was brought in to investigate Melinda's claims. Through hypnosis, Melinda relived the encounter, describing how her car was stopped by a disc-shaped object, and she met six-foot-tall beings with large heads and pale skin. They communicated that they were creating a race of 'star children' to aid mankind and that they intervened in isolated situations to avoid causing panic.

Dr. Rosen conducted psychic tests on Tad, involving rolling dice. Tad consistently predicted the correct number, demonstrating remarkable accuracy that convinced Dr. Rosen of his extraordinary abilities. The article questions the origin of these abilities, suggesting a possible extraterrestrial influence.

Another case mentioned is Elsa Richten from Hamburg, Germany, who allegedly predicted her mother's death shortly before she died in a plane crash. Her parents initially dismissed her claims as an emotional tantrum, but her prediction came true.

UFO Research Organizations

The magazine provides an overview of several prominent UFO research organizations, highlighting their roles and philosophies:

• NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena): Formed in the early 1950s, NICAP has historically advocated for the interplanetary nature of UFOs and alleged government conspiracy to conceal information. They focus on investigating radar reports and sightings by pilots and military personnel. Its board is composed mainly of ex-military officials.
• APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organization): Established a few years before NICAP, APRO was formed by aerospace engineer James Lorenzen and his wife Coral. They were among the first to seriously consider 'little men' sightings and later adopted the policy that limited contacts might have occurred. APRO investigates abduction cases and uses lie detector tests and hypnosis.
• SAUCERS (Saucers and Unexplained Celestial Events Research Society): Led by UFOlogist Gray Barker, SAUCERS focuses on close encounters, abductions, contactee stories, and paranormal experiences, including 'Men in Black' phenomena. They maintain extensive files and make reports available to the public.
• Center for UFO Studies: Founded by astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was initially a skeptic, this organization accepts the reality of the UFO phenomenon and promotes serious study. It operates a 24-hour 'hot line' for reporting sightings and has a computer bank with over 50,000 sightings. Dr. Hynek also served as a consultant for the film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'

The article notes that while many UFO groups are loosely formed and lack financial backing, the atmosphere has cleared, making it more possible to report sightings without fear of reprisal. It also mentions the historical skepticism from the Air Force, which often attributed sightings to misidentification or psychological issues.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently emphasizes the need for a rational and cautious approach to UFO encounters, prioritizing personal safety and accurate observation. There is a strong undercurrent of distrust towards government agencies regarding UFO information, advocating for UFO research organizations as more reliable sources. The concept of extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs, particularly through 'Star Children,' is presented as a significant and potentially transformative aspect of the UFO phenomenon. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFOs and related phenomena, encouraging public awareness and research while cautioning against panic and misinformation.

This issue of Celebrity Parade, dated 1981, delves into extraordinary claims of alien encounters and future predictions, alongside a special feature on the Reagan assassination attempt. The magazine presents a mix of personal testimonies, investigative reporting, and psychic revelations.

Held Captive in an Alien Breeding Experiment

The lead article details the alleged experience of Maria Sanchez from Manitoba, Canada. Initially, a news item reported a strange object falling from the sky, containing a plastic bag with English writing, which was dismissed as a hoax. However, upon investigation, the writing was found to be a personal account from Maria Sanchez, dated September 22, 1977. Sanchez, a 24-year-old single woman, claims she was abducted from a soybean field on Labor Day. She describes being taken aboard a large, dark object and subjected to a sexual assault by an alien being. She insists she is pregnant, despite doctors' assertions that she is not and that she is experiencing an emotional upheaval. Sanchez believes she is being held in a facility with disguised aliens who are using her for an "experimental breeding" program to see if humans and aliens can mate and produce offspring. She expresses fear that she will never be released and that the aliens are interested in studying her condition, as the "intercourse did not take" and they intend to "try again."

Sanchez's account is presented through notes she has written on strips of wrapping paper from the hospital store room. She describes the aliens as tall, muscular, and bald, with no hair on their bodies. She also notes that the doctors and nurses in the facility appear to be aliens, evidenced by their wigs and hairless features. She believes she is being held for the purpose of creating hybrid offspring.

Melinda Robinson's Hypnotic Regression

Another significant narrative involves Melinda Robinson, who underwent hypnotic regression with Dr. Rosen. During the session, she recounted an experience aboard a UFO where she was told her baby, Tad, would be given "powers" by the "UFO space people." These powers are intended to help mankind, prepare for future contact with alien beings, and make Tad immune to disease and injury. The aliens apparently intend to use Tad for a "coming meeting of the worlds," explaining that they have been visiting Earth for over 30 years and have encountered only hostility from primitive humans who worshipped them as gods. They believe that if they do not intervene, humanity will destroy itself. Melinda agreed to this "gift of powers" for her child, and the memory was to be suppressed to spare her ridicule. Dr. Rosen notes that Melinda seemed relieved after the session and believes the space people are friends. He also observes a recent increase in highly psychic children, suggesting a connection to alien influence.

Psychic Predictions and Future Contact

The magazine features insights from psychics Barry Andrews and Richard DuMont, who claim to receive revelations directly from UFO beings. They predict that the UFO beings have been monitoring Earth for centuries and realized the need for intervention after World War II, fearing humanity's self-destruction. They state that UFO beings are already present on Earth, disguised as humans, and have infiltrated high-level positions in governments. These beings are described as immortal and seeking to re-educate humanity, fostering respect, friendship, and harmony. They claim that attacks attributed to "hairy humanoid beings" were actually the aliens' "pets" defending their masters' landed UFOs. Abduction cases are explained as medical examinations to learn about human biology and diseases, with the promise of future cures, including one for cancer by 1982.

Both psychics predict a significant increase in UFO activity and a climactic event in 1982, when UFOs will land openly, and humanity will meet the "UFOnauts face to face." DuMont specifically envisions a massive series of UFO landings in June 1982, with discs hovering over New York City, including the World Trade Center and Times Square. He suggests the aliens may offer help with issues like nuclear energy. The predictions are supported by astrological alignments in 1982, described as unprecedented.
