Editorial: A Look Back at History

The editorial team acknowledges a hiatus in publication, attributing it to personal travel and other commitments. They express gratitude for reader feedback on the previous issue, which focused on 'Nocturnal Lights'. This current issue, number 30, promises to delve into significant UFO events and stories that have marked ufological history. The new font choice is intended to evoke a sense of historical depth, aligning with the magazine's goal of analyzing past events to understand the broader narrative of alien encounters and their impact on human history.

Incognoscível Black Hole

This section features an article adapted from a UFO magazine from August 2004. It explores the concept of the 'incognoscible' – that which cannot be known – contrasting it with the merely unknown. The author delves into philosophical discussions about reality versus illusion, drawing parallels to the Matrix films. The article posits that our perception of reality is subjective and that even optical illusions highlight the mind's tendency to interpret data within known patterns. It touches upon how concepts like God or Jesus can be interpreted variously as real entities, cosmic forces, or even alien influences. The piece suggests that the 'horrible truth' about UFOs is more profound than governments might imagine, hinting at a deliberate 'selling out' of the public to aliens in the name of democracy. It references alleged events such as Germany recovering a UFO in 1936 and General James H. Doolittle's investigation of a fallen UFO. The article claims that a select group, including General James V. Forrestal (who allegedly committed suicide), knew this 'horrible truth'. It also mentions the establishment of the MJ-12 group by President Truman to handle UFO secrecy and notes the death of Gordon Gray, the last original member, in 1984. The text also references Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's conversation with astronauts in space in 2011, drawing a parallel to Pope John XXIII's conversation in 1961, and questions whether this indicates Vatican involvement in exopolitics and potential communication with extraterrestrials.

"Mystery on Mars" - A New DVD

This section promotes a new DVD by Professor Marco Antonio Petit titled "Mystery on Mars: What NASA is Really Doing on Mars". The DVD is based on a lecture given by the ufologist at the Ufological Encounter of Peruíbe in May 2013. Petit's research, based on images from NASA's Mars missions, allegedly reveals signs of an ancient civilization on Mars. The DVD reportedly includes new information and images accessed from the MSSS and Photojournal websites, providing a more precise view of current NASA activities. The article suggests that NASA's stance on secrecy regarding its discoveries has changed, and Petit claims to have found evidence of modifications in their approach. The DVD, produced by TucoKpax Space, offers enhanced visualization of these discoveries.

UFOs: Past, Present, and Future

This article draws from Jacques Vallee's work, citing historical accounts of UFO sightings in Japan during the Middle Ages. It describes incidents such as a bright, moon-like object appearing in 1271, a 'drum-shaped' object in 1361, and other celestial phenomena in 1458 and 1468. The author notes that such sightings predate Kenneth Arnold's famous 1947 encounter. The text quotes Vallee stating that 'panic, tumult, and destructive social movements were often linked to celestial apparitions'. It also mentions a 1702 event where the sun appeared blood-red and cotton-like threads fell from it. These accounts are attributed to Robert Emenegger's book "UFOs Past Present And Future", with special collaboration from TAP Transportes Aéreos Portugueses.

Fakes: A Tool for Cover-up

This section addresses the prevalence of 'fakes' in UFO-related media, particularly online videos and photographs. The author argues that while many people sincerely report sightings, a significant portion of the evidence is fabricated. This fabrication is attributed to individuals seeking amusement or to malicious organizations aiming to obscure the truth about extraterrestrial life. The strategy, according to the article, is to confuse the public and discredit genuine evidence, thereby maintaining the secrecy surrounding UFOs. The article cites MUFON's estimate that about 60% of investigated cases are fraudulent. It suggests that this tactic benefits organizations that perpetuate the government's cover-up policy, which is implied to be largely driven by the United States. The author concludes that 'fakes' are crucial tools for the governmental cover-up, reinforcing the global consensus on maintaining secrecy regarding unidentified flying objects.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of The Ufoanamnese include historical UFO research, the philosophical implications of the unknown, alleged government cover-ups and conspiracies (particularly involving entities like MJ-12), and the critical examination of evidence, including the issue of fabricated 'fakes'. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards official narratives and a strong belief in the existence of UFO phenomena and potential extraterrestrial contact, advocating for a deeper historical and critical analysis of the subject. The magazine positions itself as a platform for uncovering and disseminating information that might otherwise be suppressed or overlooked.
