Washington Saucer Intelligence 1964 10-11

Magazine Overview

This document is a bulletin from WASHINGTON SAUCER INTELLIGENCE INC., published in Oct-Nov 1964. It presents a perspective on UFO sightings, interplanetary life, and a call for spiritual and societal transformation, framed within a "New Age" philosophy. The bulletin also announces upcoming events and activities related to these themes.

Key Themes and Articles

UFO Front and Interplanetary Awareness

The bulletin opens by noting the significant increase in UFO sightings and the growing public interest in them. It suggests that those who attempt to hide or falsify information about these phenomena will ultimately fail, as "Cosmic hosts are greater and better established in truth." The text posits that humanity is on the brink of a profound shift, an "unfoldment of consciousness" that will lead to interplanetary and extra-terrestrial awareness. This is described as an "expedient time for such unfoldment." The authors believe that a "miraculous deliverance or intervention" is necessary to extricate the United States from "planned racial wars and national suicide."

The concept of a "strange work" and a "very strange act" by God is introduced, implying a significant, perhaps unexpected, solution to global problems. The bulletin links this to the "Harvest" and the coming "Age of Aquarius."

The Value of Space Visitation

It is argued that if all nations were to accept and understand the reality of space visitation, Earth could be transformed into a place of "greater achievement and eventual space travel" without the immense cost of current missile programs. The bulletin criticizes the focus on "rocketry and missiles" as not providing the true answer or developing genuine space science, contrasting it with "far advanced cultures" that are already demonstrating advanced capabilities.

The authors lament that while the nation grapples with issues like unemployment and a "falsely created economy," the "real and valuable answer" that could solve these dilemmas is ignored. They assert that the Cosmos is inhabited and that these beings can teach humanity about the "purpose of Life and Truth."

Endorsements and Initiatives

General L. M. Chassin, Coordinator of Air Defense for the Allied Air Forces, NATO, is quoted as stating, "FLYING SAUCERS ARE OF HIGHEST IMPORTANCE." He is further quoted as urging governments to "take the initiative" and establish commissions of inquiry into saucer phenomena, rather than ridiculing believers, to prevent the "conspiracy of silence" from suppressing vital news.

New Age Centers and Retreats

The bulletin details the progress of "New Age Centers and Retreats" in various locations across the US. Specific individuals and locations are mentioned:

• Hope Troxel in Independence, California.
• Estalce Peterson in Miramonte, California.
• Tarna Halsey, President of Christ Brotherhood, in Logan, Utah.
• White Horse Village near Smithfield, Utah, described as a beautiful and available place.
• Hildegarde Shea in McConnelsburg, Pennsylvania.
• Elisabeth E. melung at the Shangri La Center in Taunton, Massachusetts.

These initiatives are described as having a "dedicated mission to help mankind evolve" and are presented as responses to the needs of the time.

Upcoming Events and Tours

NEW AGE TOURS INC. is mentioned as planning to offer tours to teach "truths of this time" and promote "healing and great inspiration." This is characterized as a "New Age type of evangelism" designed to teach and convince through "Infinite Spirit," incorporating music, inspired speakers, and teachers.

The bulletin references a biblical prophecy from Luke 22 about the "man with the Water Pitcher" as a symbol of the Age of Aquarius, indicating a transition from the Age of Pisces.

Call to Action and Support

The bulletin emphasizes a "great moving" and "great stirring" within the United States, with dormant minds beginning to awaken. It calls for unity to "save FREEDOM and fulfill the national destiny." Readers are urged to participate and contribute through "Love offerings and contributions" to support the "work of awakening."

Special Thanksgiving Day Conference

A detailed announcement is made for a FOUR DAY CONFERENCE ON THE NEW AGE, SPACE, UFO AND TIMELY AND APPROPRIATE INTERPRETATIONS to be held at THE NEW AGE FELLOWSHIP in Seattle, Washington, from November 26-29, 1964. The conference includes a Thanksgiving Dinner, with sessions running from 10:00 a.m. onwards. Speakers are being invited from across the country. Attendees will be housed with Seattle area families, and accommodation requests should be directed to Dorothy Sinclair. Dr. Ralph T. Megrew (DC) is the host, and Major Wayne S. Aho is the Master of Ceremonies.

Personal Updates and Regional Activities

Wayne S. Aho provides an update on his activities, noting a "very busy year" and his intention to focus more on the West Coast. He mentions potential new mailing addresses in Utah, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, with the Ohio address possibly changing after January 1, 1965.

He recounts extensive travel, including keynote speaking at the Church of Ancient Wisdom in Lakemont, Georgia, and attending a convention at the New Age School headquarters in Hildebran, North Carolina. He also reports giving lectures in Atlanta, Georgia; Louisville, Kentucky; and Duluth, Minnesota, noting the formation of new groups and the strong interest from young people.

Significant UFO activity in Northeast Georgia is credited with opening media channels for UFO-related stories. The bulletin asserts that 1964 is a "breakthrough year" with more important events happening than the election.

Triumph, Idaho Conference

The bulletin highlights successful conferences held in Triumph, Idaho, in June and October, noting that speakers came from as far as Texas and Oklahoma City. Plans for a youth program and a New Age School in Triumph are mentioned, with new people establishing themselves there.

New England Initiatives

Elisabeth E. Anclung is recognized for her efforts in establishing a "New Age front in New England." She is working on a "Shangri-la Retreat" on a 55-acre property with a private lake, described as a secluded and quiet location suitable for youth programs and all ages.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this bulletin are the increasing evidence and public awareness of UFOs and extraterrestrial life, the concept of a spiritual "Awakening" or "Harvest" for humanity, and the need for a shift towards a more enlightened form of self-governance and societal structure. The editorial stance is one of urgency and conviction, promoting a "New Age" philosophy that emphasizes spiritual truth, cosmic consciousness, and a departure from materialistic or conventional approaches to problem-solving. There is a strong undercurrent of belief in divine intervention and a prophesied transition into a new era, symbolized by the Age of Aquarius. The publication actively promotes events, centers, and tours aimed at fostering this awakening and providing a platform for disseminating these ideas.
