Hello!
Long time
no see!
elcome to the all-new, yet still familiar (I

hope) good old UFO Magazine, Issue #159 (Vol. 24,
No. 6). Here within you will find the same fabulous
content, the same wonderful writers ... but now everything is much brighter and far fresherwith longer-lasting colorsthan ever before.
This navigation page was going to be a handy
guide to help you get around what was supposed to
be a wholly new terrain with unfamiliar markings, bristling with buttons and such. But you wont see much
of that in this first pressing of Issue #159.0. There was
going to be all kinds of cool effects, secret trap doors,
and things that move when you touch thembut
nooooo. Thank you, Adobe, for everything.
Meanwhile, except for a couple of tiny surprises
buried for your convenience, there isnt all that much
about this new-looking issue that should cause any

corner to go back and forth,

dizzyness. In fact, theres much to love in these new

pages: no more continued on interruptions, for
instance. I cant tell you how many letters and emails
weve gotten complaining about that little item.
Colored text indicates a link.

Should. It should work. Let me know
if does not.
So now, when you start an article or a column, you

dont have to worry about losing your train of thought
as you fumble through the tiny page numbers at the
back of the magazine, trying to find the rest of the
sentence that youve already forgotten the beginning
of. Now, every article and column is all in one place,
and what a bigger place it is!
Theres lots of room for activities!
Contents
Were bringing back the letters column! Expanding

the classified! Stuff like that. Some things will be better
in the digital version, but you already knew that. We
are going to try every way we can think of to convince
you to switch your current print subscription to a longer, richer, cooler digital-only subscription, but I know
some of you will not want to do that. Therefore, the
printed version of the magazine will be coming along
soonas soon as we work out some of the bugsand
you can thus keep on collecting your issues in their
original format.

OK. That brings us to the buttons. Some links and
buttons will flash and wiggle and turn red with frustration, but they will not take you anywhere, no matter
how many times you press them. Everything will work,
soon. I hope.
But wait! Theres more! Click on this saucer, and if
it works, you will be magically transported to the next
page. If not, do what you have to do to move through
this issue.
One day, we will achieve perfection.

The Button Bin

Heres how they all work!
UFO
Its important to know if the

article has truly ended or if it
was lopped off. This doohickie tells you its over. UFO
Its like a bar code, but with extra

info. For all we know, bar codes
are conspiring as we sleep. Hipsters will know how to read it.
Press on the saucer, which is

sort of fading away, and
subscribe. The best way to
keep up with UFOs.
Try putting the magazine into fullscreen mode on your machine. Everything will start to make sense.
UFO Magazine
If youre not seeing any

buttons at all, join me in a
collective sigh. All that work
for nuttin!
Whenever you see this sign, it

means an email is just one click
away. Press on it, and voila! An
email form pops up.
Contents
The direct connection to the

contents page. Its basic, but
youd be surprised how nice
it is to feel anchored.
Sometimes these little page-turner

buttons are redundant, but sometimes you still want the power to go
back and forth.
his is a secret place to learn about how the buttons will be working in all
the new UFO Magazine versions. In this very early version #159.0, I am still trying to get them all to work. Ironically, I have to wait until the new Creative Cloud
software is available, which is a week away from today. So, for now, some of the
buttons will work as advertised, and in the future, all of them will.
Once I learn all the ropes, you should be able to download your own best
match, be it for a Kindle, an iPad, a laptop, or a mobile device not yet invented. First off the assembly line is a duo of PDFs, one flat and unresponsive (some
buttons), with no secret trap doors or flurries of any kind, and one that we will
call the Filamental version that only plays on richer machines, and if youre lucky
enough to have one of those, youll recognize your download and all will be fine.
Thats the plan. For now, if youve stumbled onto this page somehow, you
might find this information helpful. You see, there are no standards in this new
Wild Web of individual reading components. Worse, we dont even have a word
to describe this new thing Im trying to birth here, so Im calling it a Filamental in
honor of our first ebook venture, which was known as Filament Books. Im reviving that company.
Meanwhile, Im lavishing all my love and attention on this, the premier issue
of the future-ific UFO Magazine. I hope just a smidgeon of the new effects and
thing-a-ma-bobs will work for you, and soon. To make sure you have the most
recent iteration of any issue, make sure you check the version number. This is
#159.0. There will soon be a #159.1, and I hope to lock that one up at that version and move on to the big new #160.1. The first issue of Volume 25!

Video attached. Check it out!
I am leaving a link to my Youtube video where I video taped two strange

lights in the sky. This is not the first time I have seen them or video
taped them, but it is the first time I was able to capture them. The other
attempts did not show up on video. The night sky was full of stars but you
can't see them due to the brightness of these two strange lights. At the
end, a strange blue line appears on the video. I don't know what to make of this.
I saw this light dancing in the night sky. Then suddenly, to the left, another light appears and moves a
couple of times in and out towards the dancing light. They appear to be communicating or something.
Then suddenly, some blue lines started to appear on my camera. It has never done this before nor afterwards when I tried to take another video in the house. I dont know what caused the blue lines to appear nor do I know what the two lights in the sky were. They made no sound. The sound you hear in the
background are coming from the nearby highway. Then my camera went dead. The batteries are new. I
replaced them a week ago and had yet to use the camera until tonight. I did take a still shot prior to filming this. I am posting that on my blog. This occurred on Monday night, June 3rd, 2013 at approximately
10:30 PM in Piketon, Ohio. Filmed by me, Carroll Bryant.

Date of Sighting: 5/11/12

Location of Sighting: United States
After waiting a year I am going to report this because I cant get it out of my mind. Between 10
and 10:30 pm on 5/11/12 I was headed to my mail box before I left for work and saw something
in the sky. It was about the size the moon would look except it was low in the west sky and at that
time the moon would have been rising in the east. It was a sphere that had multiple
swirling colors and was stationary. At first I thought it was something on fire, but there were no
flames or tail or smoke. It was perfectly round.
After a few minutes, on the side of the circle facing south, a rectangle opened up and the thing
started moving very slowly toward the north. I watched until it was out of sight as it went behind
some low clouds to the north, maybe 10 minutes or so. I was so mesmerized by it that I didnt
think to take a picture. All of a sudden I found myself standing in the middle of the street with my
mouth open. I have tried to draw it, but I cant capture the feeling of the swirling motion of the
colors. This was over Bradenton Florida, which is just north of Sarasota.
Date of Sighting: January 2005

Location of Sighting: Pinar Del Rio, Cuba
Walking down the street, shortly after midnight, I saw a couple of lights moving very slowly over the rooftops. By the time
I walk another block, that "thing" crossed the Ave over my
head and disappear to the other side of the street. It had two
lights, one solid in front, one pulsing underneath. It was going no more than 200 feet above ground, color black or very
dark, no sound; all I know that was not an airplane. I work at
the Tampa International Airport, and trust me, airplanes are
very noisy, even in daytime.

Publishers Note
William J. Birnes
A Progress Report
From Flatland
s we say on Future Theater, we are back.

Yes, its been a long hiatus, what with the death of our
advertising director and a host of other issues, but the
magazine is back. We will publish on an accelerated
schedule as a digital product and closer to quarterly
as a regular conventional print, even as we encourage,
abjure, and plead with subscribers to consider going
paperless.
Its not for the trees, even though we want to keep
them upright and not splitting from strikes of lightning
and hurricane-force winds. Its because we want to turn
the magazine from something to read to something to
experience. And what an experience it could be: moving images, audio, some video, and an entire internet
UFO Magazine
in a magazine. Depending upon your device, whether

a smartphone, a tablet, a Kindle or Nook or whatever
computer, UFO Magazine will offer you complete immersion in the subject with the ability to cross-check
facts and, almost as good, expand the type size so
that reading is something more than trying to squint to
figure out whats on the page. This issue is the premier
issue of what we hope will be the new format as we
phase out the old.
Other items of note include the two major events,
one called Sirius that was sponsored by Steve Greer
and built around his documentary feature on the humanoid creature said to have been discovered in Chile,
and the other is Steve Bassetts Citizens Hearing on
Contents
UFOs, featuring prominent witnesses such as the former FAA Investigator John Callahan talking about the
now-famous JAL flight 1628 in 1986 that was buzzed
by an unidentified object off the coast of Alaska, and
former Peruvian fighter pilot Oscar Santa Maria Huerta,
who engaged in dogfight maneuvers with an unidentified object that had penetrated Peruvian airspace,
fired at it, saw his tracer rounds actually hit the object,
and simply watched as the object ascended to a ceiling
beyond which his interceptor could not fly.
Among the celebrated panelists were several former legislators who were paid $20,000 apiece for their
attendance and participation. According to the news
reports about the conference, U.S. Senator Mike Grav-
June 2013
el from Alaska said that the testimony of the witnesses

was convincing enough to him to get him to want more
information on what certainly were reported to be
anomalous phenomena. Our columnist and UFO author
and researcher in his own right, Kevin Randle, reports
on this event in which he participated.
You knew that there would be some buzz about
this event when the conventional news shows began to
debunk it even before the conference began. All you
have to say is UFO and the cacophony of catcalls
begins. I would love to sit across from Rachel Maddow,

as she expounds about not having a tin hat for the
interview, and simply ask her about one case. Tell me,
Rachel, before you fall off your chair laughing, what
you might know about, say, Roswell, Bentwaters, Paul
Trent, Rex Heflin, or Delphos, Kansas. If these reports of
anomalous experiences draw so much laughter, why has
the government bent over backwards to conceal them?
If the reported encounter between JAL Flight 1628 was
nothing more than a hallucination or a mistake, why did
the CIA pull all the radar information out of John Callahans hands?
Its easy to debunk when you can paint everything with one broad brush. But when you get down to
details so specific that your eyes cross, then debunking
requires you to deal with the facts, not the previous
statements of debunkers, long since gone. As Stan
Friedman says, debunking by proclamation is not the
same is dealing with information. Thats what I would
say, too.
Horn-tooting time: My book Dr. Feelgood (Arcade, 2013) with my coauthor Rick Lertzman is out and
selling in hardcover. If you want a great read about
the history of a medical doctor who might just have
changed the course of history, pay a visit to Amazon
where you can find the book, look through some digital
sample pages, and see what people are saying about
it. Coming out next month is my book with Dr. John
Liebert, a forensic neuropsychiatrist, called Wounded
Minds, about the epidemic of PTSD among our combat veterans, the high rates of military-related suicides and sexual assaults, and a set of medically- and
policy-based proposals for dealing with the problem.
After the summer, the long-awaited television tie-in
companion to UFO Hunters will be out, covering most
of the episodes from our first season. After that, there

hat the heck? Why oh why, Wikipedia? Why? My heart is

broken because I have always used the Wikipedia as a valuable part of my
entire online learning empire. I have depended on the Wiki. I have trusted
the Wiki. And now, I see that the Wiki is ...
I can hardly utter the word. Wrong. The Wiki is wrong. It has incorrectly
laid out a whole alternative history of our magazine. Now what do we do?
RIP, indeed. There have been more than a few who have been celebrating our sad demise just a littleteeny tiny weenie bittoo soon. And too
heartily, I might add.
No, we are not dead and gone. Bankrupt or corrupt or washed up. No,
no, and nope. We, in the form of many many writers and more than a couple editors and sturdy friends, are still here, still writing, and still wondering
why this topic creates such whirlpools of wacky.
Enjoy this little eddy in the pool and read on for the more detailed explanation for whats been going on around here. Ignore the doohickie. UFO
UFO Magazine

June 2013
But only this one time. The doohickie [UFO] is but

one of many bright new things around here, and it indicates the end of an article or column. That way youll
know that the text hasnt been cut off or truncated by
the edge of whatever screen youre using. When you
see the doohickie [UFO] you will know that thats all she
or he wrote.
This will be a more playful magazine experience for
you, and soon. As soon as the tools cooperate, you will
see what I mean as I explore the many new opportunities that only the digital version of the magazine will
allow me. For this reason alone, I dont know whats
going to have to be left on the cutting-room floor each
time I create the print version of what you are reading
here. Go digital!
Chief to Perforated Lines. And why, you might ask,

and I am glad you did, because its a funny story, really. I found myself, at the end of last summer, and I do
mean it literally.
I found myself writing a novel, and I found that I really missed it and really, really had to start doing it again
because we all know what happens when we dont do
what we intended to do before we agreed, with Life, to
come here and wear this silly putty body for as long as
we can stretch it.
So, I want to be able to keep on writing, both here
and back at my old journal weblog called Perforated
Lines and to finish my brand-new novel The Fork. All
will become clear one day, as soon as its done.
And now, the real doohickie. UFO
This is one of the many reasons you will want to

seriously consider switching your regular print subscription over to a brand-new all-digital verson, complete
with a whole bunch of digital-only goodies. I explain
some of them on the subscription page, and Ill
have more listed right there. When I think of them.
A couple more pieces of business: This issue is free,
and I hope to keep it available forever. This is version
159.0, and I am sure I will be upgrading it over and
over again, but it will always be free as a thank you to
our readers who have waited somewhat patiently for
their magazine.
We have some new columnists in the wings, also
waiting, and they wont have too long to wait. The next
issue should be out in another month, give or take a
week or two. Everything is changing around here, I tell
you. Why does everything have to change?

Transmissions From A Dying Planet
Beer & Loafing In SacTown

Adam Gorightly
ll good investigative journalism should start

straight off with a visit to the local pubs in whatever
city you may be visiting. You need to get a lay of the
land while wetting your whistle with a beer or delicious
cocktail of your choice. And this is just what led me to
Hoppy Brewing Company in Sacramento, California on
the eve of the UFO Paranormal Summit held last June
at the sumptuous Crowne Plaza Hotel.
While imbibing an amber ale and remote-viewing
potential nachos in my future, I noticed that the U.S.
Open golf tourney was broadcasting from the bar. The
buzz of the day was how superstar golfer and former
sex addict Tiger Woods was in contention at the close
of the second round and tied for the lead at 1 par.
Tiger, whos been in a funk the last couple of years following that well-documented Thanksgiving-day fiasco
when his ex-wife damn near dismantled him with a 9
UFO Magazine
iron, was in the midst of his great comeback with the

fawning sports media more than happy to welcome him
back into their bosom, cause lets face it, folks, Tiger is
still the face of the PGA.
Besides, everybody loves a comeback story; although on a personal level Ive never really been particularly enamored with Mr. Woods, which has nothing
to do with his many well-chronicled peccadilloesthe
stuff of most red-blooded mens dreams and those of
green-blooded reptilians as wellbut more on account
of the pathetic double life he led; on the one hand
cultivating an image of the perfect life with the perfect
wife and kids in an ostentatious mansion in Florida,
meanwhile bedding down more strangers than Captain Kirk and Charlie Sheen together on a bender while
simultaneously and shamelessly hawking everything
under the sun, including Buicks, of all things (which Im
Contents
sure he wouldnt be caught dead in). If Tiger had been

true to himself in a Crowleyean fashion: Do what thou
wilt shall be the whole of the law, he would have followed his true will by peddling Trojan condoms as opposed to milquetoast products like Gatorade or Nike.
To this end, Tiger would have earned more street
cred from this humble reporter had he said to hell with
marital convention and instead reveled in the life of the
swashbuckling swordsman, spilling his seed from to sea
to shining sea. Dont get me wrongthe institution of
marriage is a wonderful thing, but if done in the spirit
of acquiring trophy wives or to perpetuate some sort of
myth of the American dream, then it does nothing more
than to serve an outdated purpose. And this article is all
about shattering paradigms, the sort of thing one is apt
to do, or at least talk about, while attending paranormal-UFO-type conventions.
June 2013
As I sat there at Hoppy Brewing imbibing yet another amber ale and coming to closure on an order of
nachos.
++ What suddenly struck me

was the realization that ufology
can be viewed as a microcosm
of the pop-culture macrocosm.
Which in itself has continued to devolve into this
silly cult of celebrity worship where the ultimate aspiration for so many lost souls these days is to become
the next Tiger Woods, or short of that, a Snooki, a Kim
Kardashian or some dim-witted ghost-hunter.
Those of you older than 25 no doubt remember
the I Can Be Like Mike campaign which promoted
the delusion that if we were all to maximize our human
potential, each of us could be embodiments of Michael Jordan. But the cold, hard Darwinian fact is that a
sizable segment of the population has but a dim hope
of ever achieving anything noteworthy, and so the road
to salvation and instant gratification is to either win the
lotto or somehow stumble into your very own reality
TV series and the sudden celebrity status that entails.
Its this very same reality-show celebrity matrix that has,
to a large extent, become the driving force now influencing the paranormal fields, whether in the form of
ghost-hunter UFO shows, an endless stream of redundant paranormal podcasts, or the dozen or so UFO and
paranormal-related conferences held throughout the
country each year.
UFO Magazine
The personalities that have emerged from this

deluge of self-styled ghost hunters, Bigfoot sniffers,
and UFO chasers are in the process of transforming
the fields of ufology, cryptozoology, and conspiratology into a Scooby-Doo-where-are-you fun-fest. Consequently, those who seem to be garnering the most attention of late really know the least about the subjects.
But if you look good in front of the camera and can
fashionably sport a pair of night-vision goggles, then
thats all you need to qualify as an honest-to-god ghost

So ufology seems to be shifting focus, kind of like a
throwback to the good old days when more field research was going on. These paranormal reality shows
are ushering in a boots-on-the-ground approach which
utilizes the latest in high-tech gadgetry, although employed at oft-times-sophomoric levels. So a new face

Greg Bishops and Nick Redferns of the worldhave
been trying to infuse new blood into ufologys withered

For the most part, ufology seems stuck in the quagmire of the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) and the
hopeless prospect of UFO disclosure, with a little Reptilian woo-woo tossed in now and again to keep the old
myths alive and the Reptilian cottage industry hissing,

Bigfoot in close proximity to saucer sightings, as if
the two phenomena were somehow related, and in

of the paranormal together; that mixing them up will
eventually contaminate each respective field and water
down the overall research. This has been the fear of
certain segments in ufology for quite some time; that
to earn the respect of the media and garner serious
attention, the torchbearers of mainstream ufology must
portray themselves as staid and studious keepers of the
faith.
Personally, I have no problem lumping ufology,
conspiracies, and the paranormal together and then
observing and cataloguing the patterns and parallels
that emerge from this convergence. And when it comes
to attending paranormal or UFO-type conventions, I
personally prefer a full spectrum of perceptions presented. As noted, this isnt always the case with typical
UFO conferences, which are more often than not agenda-driven, pushing ETH or UFO disclosure or whatever
the conference organizers deem should be the driving
theme.
UFO conferences and ufology in general are stuck
in the Tiger Wood-celebrity-syndrome, which is one of
the main factors motivating many a would-be conference attendee: the prospect of listening to and rubbing
elbows with some of the big names in the field. This
is certainly understandable. If youre going to spend
hard-earned dollars in this rough economic climate
and pay for a pass to the event, a hotel room, travel
costs, and food, then by god you want to see somebody you knowone of icons of ufology, be it Stanton
Friedman, Linda Moulton Howe or Whitley Strieber. Of
course, earning icon status within the ranks ufology is
akin to becoming a legend on the pro-bowlers tour: At

come and go, cause a splash for a while until the wave
rolls back, and then the next new big thing comes on to
the scene. A perfect example of this was the short-lived
SERPO craze from a few years back which catapulted
the Project Camelot crew into the limelight, only in time
to be revealed as a hoax. Nonetheless, Project Camelot
remains one of the more visible players on the scene, at
least in terms of shaping the UFO pop-culture meme.
So some stars on the scene burn bright, sometimes but
for a brief duration, while others hang on over the years
and end up defining the field and becoming its public
face, like a Stanton Freidman or a Budd Hopkins.
Given this limited audience, UFO conference promoters do their best to draw in as large a portion of
the subculture as possible, which is why youll see the
same big names at the same annual events delivering
the same basic lecture or a minor variation thereof to fit
into the theme of the particular conference. However,
its the very presence of these big names, ufologys old
guard, that has created a vacuum allowing this sudden
influx of reality TV stars into the scene.

With Starbucks latte hot in hand, I took my seat

as keynote speaker Michelle Many began her talk on
ancient acoustic star temples, those seemingly sacred
sites that circle the globe, to which many attribute
supernatural powers. I found Michelles presentation
synchronistic, coincidingas it didwith my own recent travels to Bolivia and Peru and the speculation that
naturally arises when visiting these sites, such as how
did the Incans and other ancient cultures move those
massive stones over considerable distances, then cut
them with great precision and cast them seamlessly into
place, fitting together like intricate jigsaw puzzles that
have withstood the winds of time. Michelle is convinced
that harmonics moved these stones: specific soundwaves trained to a frequency that levitated them into
place. What was not made clear, however, is how these
harmonic frequencies were generated.
These ancient temples have of a common theme
of alignment to the stars and are situated in such a
manner that the sun illuminates a particular section of
a temple or shines directly on a statue of a god during
the arrival of a solstice or equinox. A perfect example
of this can be found at the Newgrange ruins in Ireland,
where each year on the morning of the winter solstice
the rays of the rising sun shines through a small opening of the temple that illuminates its inner chamber,
starting exactly on December 21, the day of the winter
solstice. Many in the New Age Movement ascribe great
significance to such astronomical design; others see
them as methods, devised by ancient cultures, to track
the changing of the seasons to inform them when to
plant their crops or to perform other activities.
Contents
++ Michelle also believes that

these sacred sites or power spots
can be used for spiritual awakening.
If you visit one of these spots and bring a drum or
flute to play music or you chant, she says this will help
induce a trance (state) that will change the harmonics
within your chakras and bring in what she describes
as the star energy from the planets. This, I assume,
is the same harmonic energy Michelle and others claim
enabled the ancients to construct these ancient acoustic star temples like the Egyptian pyramids, Machu
Picchu or the Tiwanaku ruins of Bolivia.
It is there in Tiwanaku at the Puma Pumku temple
where a massive stone weighing over 25 tons now rests,
transported from a quarry located several miles away.
Even today such a feat is an enormous undertaking,
let alone during that period in history several hundred
years bce, a mystery that archeologists are still at a loss
to explain.
Of course, Michelle was never quite clear as to what
form of harmonics moved these massive monoliths into
place. Was it human brain power tuned into a specific frequency? Or alien technology like some Starship
Enterprise tractor beam that lifted the huge boulders
and floated them effortlessly through the air? Even
more perplexing is how they cut these massive stones,
often at perfect 90-degree angles and were able to
place them seamlessly together without mortar. Could
harmonics have done this, as well? Or some form of ancient laser technology? Archeologists have noted that
the same techniques used to construct Tiwanaku were

most likely passed on to the original Incans, who in turn

used this knowledge to build Machu Picchu and other
sites.
This, it occurred to me during my recent travels to
South America and in particular while sipping Guinness stout at Paddys Irish Pub in Cusco was the secret
knowledge of the stonecutters.
++ Thus, stonecutting became

synonymous with the keepers of
secrets, to be shared only among
the high priests of the order.
After the Spaniards overthrew the Incan empire
this knowledge died, as seen in the crude stone work
produced under Spanish rule. It should be emphasized
that Freemasonry has roots in sun worship, and when
one visits such sites as Tiwanaku, the idolization of the
sun god is quite evident, as depicted in the Gate of the
Sun, the archway that stills stands among those ancient
ruins.
And what of the purported otherworldly influences
on such cultures? In recent years some have assumed
that those curious elongated skulls discovered among
the Incan ruins belonged to ETs. Other evidence suggests that the Incans made a practice of placing metal
bands around the heads of certain selected youths in
society, which caused the deformation of their skulls.
This, in time, led their brains to swell, a condition supposedly relieved by the practice of trepanation.
UFO Magazine
Trepanation, for those unfamiliar with the term, was

a surgical procedure used by the Incans and ancient
Egyptians that consisted of drilling a hole into a patients head, which presumably helped cure different
maladies by allowing greater blood flow to the brain.
Advocates of trepanation claim that the procedure
reverts the brain to its original state of oxygenation at
birth, which literally makes one more open-minded, and
child-like. Examples of trepanned skulls can be seen
in museums throughout the world, an example of its

widespread application. In the 1970s, a British woman named Amanda Fielding, became an advocate of
trepanning as a method of attaining better health and
a higher state of awareness. To display her conviction,
Fielding actually trepanned herself in the early 1970s,
a procedure captured on film. Afterwards, she ran for
British parliament on a platform promoting trepanation
as part of the national health plan.
Such musings led me to build upon my previous
June 2013
Incan-Freemason theory as I sat a couple months

back with yet another pint of Guinness stout at the
highest Irish-owned pub on the planet, positing that
those groomed to be high priests in the Incan empire
were also those selected to have their heads banded,
all of this as a means of initiation into the Incan high
priesthood. Thus, according to my wacky theory, this
head-banding was the first phase in a gradual process
of illumination, the theory being that trepanation, in essence, would open the third eye and expand consciousness to the level where the high priests of the Order Of
Banded Heads (OOBH) would be able to receive the
secret knowledge of the stonecutters.
quency.
Opening the third eye has long been associated

with awakening ones self; a physical process presumably tied to the pineal gland and ostensibly energized
through meditation or similar methods. Im sure Michelle Many would feel that harmonics plays a role in
this process as well, which could all be connected to
some heavy-duty things goin down round Dec 21,
2012. But dont go gettin your end-times panties all in

the eschaton will immanentize itself.
Later that afternoon I walked in midway on a talk by

a Brit named Paul Bradford. I soon learned that he is a
rising star on the ghost-hunting scene and a cast member of the SyFy Channels GhostHunters International.
Bradford presented himself as a jovial devil-may-care
sort, although I suspect he might have been laying it on
a bit thick, projecting the persona of the fun-loving daring-do ghost-hunting roustabout. Just the same, Bradford came across as a likeable sod, although his lecture
was really not much more than a rambling monologue
about his experiences in the world of paranormal reality
TV and of his entry onto the scene via a slew of hightech gadgets he invented and designed to flush out
spooks.
I also learned from Michelle that the Pleadians are

major players, which Ive always kind of assumed, but
its nice to get confirmation on these sorts of things.
Afterwards, Michelles presentation left me feeling all
warm and fuzzy, which could be partly attributed to the
handful of Advils I washed down with a double-shot
nonfat vanilla latte that had now produced a semieuphoric state within my cerebral cortex. Yes, 2012 was

customed to seeing in darkness, in contrast to those

located closer to the poles who are able to distinguish
objects with greater clarity at night. In other words,
those who spend more time in darkness develop a
greater aptitude for night vision and perhaps the ability
to see dead people. And, as those who tune into these
ghost-hunter and paranormal TV shows can attest, the
use of night-vision gear potentially enables these paranormal sleuths a greater opportunity to catch fleeting
glimpses of the other side.
This also relates to certain people who have the
uncanny ability to see things the rest of us cannot such
as psychics, who use their senses in the same manner
as someone dialing a radio to a certain wavelength or
frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum, tuning into
the voices of spirits or energies undetectable to most
people. Some children also seem to possess this ability,
which often diminishes as they grow older and consensus reality encroaches on their imaginary friends.

So whats the ultimate goal of all these nerdy

spook-hasslers? To prove the existence of ghostly apparitions? To validate the afterlife? Well, since these reality-TV ghost hunters have allegedly captured voices or
images of what they believe are genuine disembodied
spirits, I guess this goal has already been achieved. So,
then, why this continued harassment of these unfortunate deceased souls other than some obvious form of
exploitation? To address this situation, my fellow Fortean researcher and sometime UFO Magazine columnist
UFO Magazine
Skylaire Alfvegren has recently gone on a tireless campaign to establish a Bill of Rights for the deceased, due
to what she perceives as continued harassment of the
dead by reality-TV ghost hunters. Im not sure if this will
lead to a Constitutional amendment, but stayed tuned

Next up to the podium was Jeffrey Gonzalez who,

California, which also happens to be where your present author was born and reared, not to mention experienced a mind-blowing UFO encounter back in the late
70s. So, Ive always been aware of how weird Fresno is,
mainly because its given the world yours truly!
Gonzalez went on and on about how Fresno is
becoming big-time in paranormal circles and that were
going to hear a lot about this Central Cal town in the
near future, not only due to an apparent rash of UFO
sightings that have besieged the local area but also be-
June 2013
cause the adjacent Sierra Nevada mountains are lousy

with Bigfoots gamboling about and leaving their DNA
imprints on pickup trucks. Which, if you dont know
by now, is the story Gonzalez has been championing
the last year or so. The story first came to my attention
with a press conference he and his Sanger paranormal pals put on in Fresno on June 23, 2011 when they
revealedfor all the world to seesome purported
Bigfoot lip imprints on the drivers-side window of
Gonzalezs Ford pickup. This, just a couple years after
Tom Biscardi and his boys, those two Bigfoot-hunting
hucksters from the backwoods of Georgia, triple-handedly set back cryptozoology a decade or more with
their phony Bigfoot press conference in the summer of
08, recounted by your intrepid author in Happy Trails
to Weirdness: A Conspiracy Theorists Tour Guide, now
available from FeeJee Press for a mere $19.95 (Cheap!)
In light of this semi-recent Biscardi-Bigfoot-boon-
doggle, Gonzalezs press conference seemed somewhat ill-advised to the extent that, if coming forward
with a purported Bigfootian bombshell, he might have
produced evidence a little more compelling than some
snotty smudge marks. Nonetheless, it made for great
theater.
++ I must admit the markings

do look a bit curious, and I
imagine they could be Biglips.
However, its impossible to say definitively one way
or the other what got smeared on Gonzalezs truck.
The ultimate goal of his press conference was to raise
money to conduct DNA analysis to establish exactly

what those smears on his truck really were. And now,
according to Jeffreyinsert drum roll herethe first
phase of testing has been completed, the results of
which revealed that whatever left those imprints was
not human! Whatever that means. But since no one has
of yet identified Bigfoot DNA, all of this seems to me
one rather overblown Bigfoot bukkake circle jerk.
I suspect that all these DNA tests will ultimately
prove inconclusive, so Im not holding my breath any
more than I did when Biscardi presented his own spurious DNA samples. It may be recalled that, at the time
of his phony Bigfoot press conference, Biscardi made
heavy weather about how these DNA results proved
that its source was not human. But then it out to be
DNA from a possum of all thingsbecause they were
playing possum?which led Biscardi to conclude that
his alleged dead Bigfoot had ingested a possum sandwich or somesuch that ended up in his Bigfoot intestinal tract and somehow appeared on the DNA test.
Anyway, the whole thing stunk to high heaven, which
Im sure the phony Bigfoot body on ice did as well,
after it melted and all you were left with was a fake-fur
body bag stuffed full of rotting road kill and who knows
what all else. Gummy bears?
With that being said, let me state for the record that
I think Jeffrey Gonzalez is sincere in his belief that he
possesses the honest-to-goodness smudge marks of
a Bigfoot, which he brought to Sanchezs summit and
displayed behind a protective fiberglass shield. This
was only the second time its been on public display;
the rest of the time the smudge-marked window remains hidden at undisclosed location! Which, I assume,
is probably Jeffreys garage.
Next, Gonzalez spoke of his recent appearance

on an upcoming episode of another UFO-hunter-type

reality show called Chasing UFOs, produced by National Geographic. Gonzalez boldly predicted would put
Fresno on the paranormal map, featuring, as it does,

who have been reporting a rash of triangle UFOs over
the skies of Fresno. Due to these sightings, Gonzalez

of the drivers side window to get a fleeting glimpse of

True to my wifes assertion, Chasing UFOs takes the

concept of UFO hunting to a new low, sensationalizing
an already sketchy storyline based on flimsy eyewitness
accounts that amount to little more than people seeing
what they consider strange unearthly aircraft, often in
the form of triangle UFOs apparently seen by Gonzalez
and his group in the area near the Fresno air terminal.
Of course, people have been seeing these crazy triangle craft for a couple decades, most notably near places like Area 51. Why all the fuss about them recently,

had stumbled upon some sort of mysterious
underground tunnel entrance which they were
able to access by scaling a security fence. As
they advanced ever deeper into this mysterious concrete tunnel, they discovered

At this point in the program Fox suggested: Lets
get the hell out of here! To which Gonzalez wholeheartedly concurred, and they high-tailed it out of the
tunnel to regroup a short time later with their cohorts.
Ultimately, our heroes came out of this adventure with
no more proof of a secret underground base than when
they started, especially since it was later revealed that
the mysterious tunnel they explored was actually one
of many hydroelectric tunnels that can be found in this
neck of the woods.
That Gonzalez seemed ignorant of this fact, I find
more than curious. Hydroelectric power is big business
in this area of the Sierras, and the hills all around are

of jumping over fences whenever she sees one, which
of course alerts whatever security forces in the area that

some jackwagons running around with infrared cameras, jumping fences, and acting like theyre on some
covert paramilitary op. After 9/11, this stretch of McKinley Avenue was closed down for an extended period,
which tells you how the base rates, National Security-wise. I remember years ago during the Cold War era
hearing stories that the base was a potential target of
nuclear attack and that nuclear payloads were housed
there. After all was said and done, this episode of Chasing UFOs left the lasting impression of much ado about
nothing, and how trying to make a story from reports
based on very little substance will inevitably lead to this
type of production.

rotors, lifted off, and soon was circling overhead Ryder,
shining down a search light in her general direction.
Given no other option, our heroine beat a hasty retreat,

awkward expression of her hilariously horrified face,
straight out of a cheap Blair Witch remake.

This definitely does not look like a municipal airport! Ryder proclaimed, all the while running, panting,
and acting like this might be the last moment of her
life. A little bit of prior field research like simply driving
around the perimeter of the airport in daylight, no less,
would have revealed that, yes, Fresno Air Terminal is a
municipal airport and much, much more. Your humble
reporter has flown out of FAT on dozens of occasions
and also grew up in Fresno, so I know well the lay of the

In addition to hunting out pubs and dive bars in

whatever city through which I may be passing, I also
afford myself the opportunity of dropping into thrift
stores I see along the way in search of the ultimate Hawaiian shirt to compliment my mustache. And, as fate
would have it, there just so happened to be a major
Goodwill distribution center located within walking distance of the conference venue.
So in between presentations I ambled over to what
I soon discovered was the most anomalous Goodwill
store on the planet! The place was an immense menagerie of bulk clothing and assorted bric-a-brac huddled
haphazardly together in these huge trough-like bins
on wheels which workers at the store rolled out periodically for the hordes of hoarders to sort through and
ultimately make their own. I say hordes of hoarders be-

cause as I was walking through the parking lot enroute

to the store entrance, I observed a car that obviously
belonged to one afflicted with the hoarder-disorder; a
virtual mess on wheels, with magazine inserts, clothing,
half-eaten food and other assorted items piled high
that, if not for residing in this car, would now be filling a
trash heap somewhere.
As I navigated my way through this overwhelming
onslaught of humanitys discards, I came to the realization that this probably wasnt the most sterile of environments, not unlike wading through the buffet at your
neighborhood Golden Corral, a perpetual plethora of
plague-like germs just itching to jump your bones. This
was brought to my attention by the hardcore clothes
pickers in the crowd, who I noticed wore surgical
gloves, or used a stick to sort with. In the final analysis,
it was just too much stuff for me to process, so after
snapping a couple photos to document this anomalous
thrift-store encounter, I returned to Sanchezs summit to
take in the presentation of Bill Murphy, host of the SyFy
Channels Fact or Faked.
Even though Ive probably come off thus far as a
paranormal and reality TV-show hater, I must admit I
was impressed by Murphys talk, which centered around
the Night Crawler sighting that occurred, you guessed
it, in Fresno, which has become ground zero for Californian high weirdness, it seems. If you havent seen these
crazy creatures before, just Google em and prepare to
have your mind blown. As the story goes, these Night
Crawlers, who appear to be whitish alien-like stick figures with legs and a head, minus torso, were filmed by
a security camera in a Fresno front yard in 2008.
After this Night Crawler video surfaced, Murphy and
his investigative team visited Fresno to attempt to recreate the movements of whatever these things are. To

this end, Team Murphy was unsuccessful, even though

they tried a variety of methods to recreate the film,
which goes a long way in suggesting that the Fresno
footage was not faked.
In 2011, another purported group of Night Crawlers
were filmed in Yosemite National Park, just up the road
a piece from where I live in the Sierras, an hour or so
drive from Fresno. However,
when I watched the Yosemite Night Crawler footage, it
left me skeptical, much more
so than the Fresno footage.
Afterwards, while surfing the
net I discovered that several paranormal pundits were
claiming the Yosemite footage
was CGId. Just the same, this
should in no way minimize the
high-strangeness quotient associated with the Fresno Night
Crawler footage.
My apologies for not mentioning all the other fine

lecturers at Sanchezs Summit such as Norio Hayakawa,
David Weatherly, and Micah Hanks but this monstrosity
is already weighing in at over 7,000-odd words, so Ill
wrap it up now and return to a couple other episodes
that I DVRd of Chasing UFOs, which is destined to become the comedy hit of the season! UFO
Following the appearance

of these Night Crawler films,
some curious photos surfaced
depicting wooden carved
statues of some critters that
are dead ringers for the Night
Crawlers. However, the origin
of these photos seems as mysterious as the Night Crawlers
themselves, and currently I and
other researchers are trying to
establish the provenance of
these mysterious photos. Stay

an expanded consciousness. One such recent initiative
is perhaps no less than the invention of a new literary
form.
This singular ufological first is discovered in Dr.
Bruce Maccabees book Abductions In My Life and
proves to be a stunning first-time accomplishment of
particular efficacy, efficacy on most levels the reader
cares to name. No hyperbole here!
In a new literary style Maccabee calls faction, fact
efficaciously melded with fiction, he introduces a literary form so the reader is able to tell, easily, plainly, and
effortlessly what can be taken as fact in his novel and
what can be taken for fiction. See the innovation of his
initiative?

Traditionally, if the writer wants to write a factual

book, he writes a factual book. If a fiction, then a fiction. Right? The former has citation, the latter is bereft
of same. Moreover, it is the conventional wisdom that a
writer best serves the reader by writing one or the other. What can be gained, your garden variety CSIcopian
screwball sans all imagination might scoff, in the mixing
of the two?
Reader confusion at best, Dr. Nickell sputters in
the corporeal. Reader misdirection at worst, Mr. Klass
proclaims from the klasskurtxian beyond! Well, Dr. Maccabee destroys that arbitrary CSICOPian conventional
wisdom, handily, as is ever the case!
Consider. Many quality books of fiction are fiction
heavily rooted in fact. That factual foundation is what

becomes, increasingly, more valuable.
Consider also that the book of fiction is usually
more engaging and attractive to the general reader
than the tediously cited nonfiction book. Unfortunately,
most nonfiction books with regard to ufology fall into a
similar category. They are textbooks, in fact, and quality
ufological textbooks are difficult and not a little tedious
to read. As a result of the giggle factor inculcated by a
betraying authority regarding UFOs, UFO researchers
trysometimes too hardto be serious or to be taken
seriously. It shows, tediously, with all but the most gifted writer. Invariably, this translates to a fewer number of
people, by an order of magnitude actually reading said
quality book. And so that potential to penetrate key information into public consciousness is regrettably lost.
Now, Dr. Bruce Maccabee is a quality researcher
with decades of close tolerance and scientific interest in
a subject that he knows is of far-reaching importance to
us all. To get the maximum number of people interested regarding a ufological research effort and to inject
that meme into the social conscience as deeply as he
could, he knew he had to get a preponderance of people to read the bookany quality informational book.

the fact and fiction slide so well together that the truths
are indistinguishable from the fantasy and the subsequently devalued facts dont penetrate to the reader. It
may ring true, but one cant know in a Michener novel,
a Clancy work, or even a King production what is and
what is not fiction.
The facts cant get traction, and the readers are
not elevated when they could be elevated! The reader
UFO Magazine
That was the thorny issue. His solution to that problem

is brilliant, innovative, and typically cutting-edge. Moreover, it is highly effective, completely accurate, and
cunningly transparent! See if it is not!
Go.See.
As regards the literary components of the novel,
Maccabees protagonist is no less than a dyed-in-thewool if very complementarily presented skeptic. Like
many of his persuasion, he was duped by societys
unctuously polite if disingenuous faux-skeptics, duped
into believing that all things ufological were the province of the misinformed, the mentally aberrant, or the
criminally misinforming. I call them the M-cubed crowd.
In other words, UFOs were the result of patent ignorance, cretinism likely caused by irresponsible drug use,
perhaps, or the efforts of the odd unethical scalawag or
psychopath. Exclusively!
How to get people to do the reading was the problem. Maccabees answer to the problem set is an enjoyable and entertaining serendipity in and of itself.
Duped, lying, or crazy. Anything else was antiscience, lop-eared lunacy, and road-apple-muffin
insane. Anyone with any sense knew the preceding
to be true. Noted CSIcopian Michael Shermer had
authoritatively proclaimed it as true to our protagonist! Cut, print, waiter-check-please! Turn in your foil
hat! Consequently, duped by the mendacious, the
ill-conceived, and the rank intellectual cowardice of
ill-advising Sherm-oids, Klassists, and Nye-iteset mal
sig alMaccabees lead character, reader, is initially if
forgivably, of that described denialist mind!
It occurred to him, one discovers, that a book of

entertaining fiction laced with facts was the answer
he was searching for. But how was he to make it plain
where the facts were? How would he make the facts as
interesting as the fiction? How could the reader intersect with the fiction and not get lost in the citation?
Chance, however, puts this albeit intelligent and

hard-nosed-uninformed protagonist in contact with a
very believable key adjacent character who didnt seem
to fit anywhere in the duplicitous and exclusionary
M-cubed triad. We have here a believer, friends and
neighbors. However, he is also reasonable, reasoning,

As the story unfolds and as an innocent favor to

necessary in-depth ufological research on the way to

It. Works! As the protagonist reads or reviews research, the reader of Maccabees novel reads over the
protagonists shoulderis along for the ride, so to
speak. And what a ride it is. Triple-A tickets with buffet

Additionally, the characters are drawn real enough

to give a damn about, credible enough to believe in,
and inventively intelligent enough to provide for a
stealthy education! They are genuine persons, reader,
in direct contact with the inexplicable and unknown,
and once again they are people who are going to have
to wing a response to the high strangeness on their
own and of their individual volition. Just like the reader
would have towill have to!
The protagonist breaks frequently for illuminating

inner dialogue, and in that dialogue something very
wonderful happens. In a step-by-step process and as

protagonist is rationally transformedtransforms himselffrom a knee-jerk re-flex skepti-bunky into a critical
and informed believer, so to speak, but a believer in the
best sense of that word! Im reminded that the truth
told to be understood will be believed.
This writer is unaware of where that awakening process has been traced out, explored, or otherwise dealt
with in any other work of fact or fiction. The fact that
Maccabee has accomplished it here, for what this writer
believes to be the first time, is fortuitous, seminal, and
a validating god send for UFOs! The result? Humankind

Plaits description of the Phoenix Lights of March 13,

1997, is woefully inaccurate and inadequate. He states,
Thousands of people reported mysterious lights flying
together across Nevada and Arizona while those near
Phoenix saw lights hovering above the city and winking
out. The first event was likely jets flying in formation,
and they were seen over Phoenix as well. The human
eye and brain connects dots when there are no physical
links between them, making discrete objects look as if
they are attached together by something solid when
they are seen against a contrasting background.
He accepts, as I and most other people do, that the
second batch of lights seen over a different portion of
the city were National Guard planes dropping flares.
However, the notion that the very large V-shaped craft
June 2013
represented jets flying in formation is ridiculous.

I have talked to witnesses. The key factors reported
were the very large sized object, half a mile to a mile
across, that blotted out the stars above it. It was, after
all, a very clear night, with many people out hoping to
see an expected comet. The object moved steadily,
slowly, and silently. Nobody mentioned seeing red and
green lights on the object. Jets are supposed to have
them. Jets are notoriously noisy, and they dont blot out
a big chunk of the sky.
One witness who belatedly came forth was the then
governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, who went public
on a Larry King Live show that I was also on. Symington
had been an Air Force officer and pilot, and had witnessed the object, which was definitely not an airplane,
or group of them.
Plait gives no basis other than proclamation for,
jets flying in formation. I am sure that some debunker
must have put that out. One possibility could have
been James McGaha, a former Air Force pilot. He is an
active amateur astronomer with his own observatory in
the Phoenix area.
McGahas comment in response to a few young
women who described how the huge object took four
minutes to pass over their heads slowly and silently was,
They werent trained observers. Surely, one need not
have training in astronomy to correctly describe a very
large V-shaped craft moving slowly and silently, shutting
off the view of the stars above as it passed overhead?
The stars were in view again after it went by.
Plait shows eight UFO pictures, with brief labels
such as, McMinnville, Oregon (1950) Paul Trent, and
Wallonia Belgium (1990). Surely, he should have not-
UFO Magazine
ed that Dr. Bruce Maccabee, a retired optical physicist,

published a scientific article about the two Trent photographs?
Maccabee carefully examined the original negatives, visited the site, talked to the witnesses, and
concluded that there was no fakery involved. Even the
University of Colorados Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, usually called the Condon Reportnaturally not mentioned by Plaitstated, This is
one of the few UFO reports in which all factors investigated, geometric, psychological, and physical appear
to be consistent with the assertion that an extraordinary
flying object, silvery, metallic, disk-shaped, tens of meters in diameter and evidently artificial, flew within sight
of two witnesses, (p.407). This was hardly judged to be
a mere light in the sky. A great deal of useful information has also been published about the Belgian wave of
sightings.
Certainly, the impression given in Plaits article is
that all UFO reports can be turned into misidentified
flying objects (MFOs) if smart people like him work on
them long enough. The fact is that all those large scale
scientific studies, about which he seems to be totally
unaware, show that 15-30% of the cases that are carefully investigated remain unidentified after investigation.
I realize that one expects an astronomer to be more
concerned about things supposedly flying around,
than ones that are actually observed on the ground,
after having landed and before taking off. In addition,
there are physical changes produced in the ground and
vegetation. These cases would seem to be much more
useful than studying Venus, Jupiter, and lights that turn
out to be quacking ducks. No such luck with Plait.
Contents
Ted Phillips, in more than forty years, has collected

more than 5,000 physical trace cases from ninety-five
countries. About one-sixth involve reports of beings,
usually small, seen near the flying saucers. I prefer that
term since all flying saucers are UFOs, but most UFOs
are not flying saucers.
In the 1971 Delphos, Kansas UFO landing ring case,
I had soil tested which showed that the soil in the ring,
more than 8 feet in outer diameter, and down 14 inches, had a much higher level of soluble minerals than
nearby control samples. It was right where the witness
had observed the UFO just above the ground. It was no
wonder that the ring soil couldnt sustain plant growth,
as it was too salty.
I do agree with Plait about the intriguing Norway
blue spiral being a Russian rocket whirling because of a
fuel leakyes an MFO. However, how about those 687
cases, from 3,201 studied, from Blue Book Special Report No. 14 that could not be identified? That is 21.5%
of those cases investigated.
The four final report evaluators from Battelle Memorial Institute had to all agree on the labeling of a sighting as unknown. These were completely separate from
the 9.3% listed as insufficient information. How about
the 35.1% of the 308 cases declared excellent that
could not be identified? The astronomical category was
the largest, including 25.5%. Plait implies that there are
no cases that cant be identified by smart astronomers
like him. He doesnt think much of pilots as witnesses
because they could be mistaken. He makes no mention
of sightings by astronomers, as if there were none that
could not be explained.
Plait doesnt, of course, mention the 1972 book by
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience: A Scientific
June 2013
Inquiry. Allen was only the chairman of the astronomy

department at Northwestern University, and the USAF
scientific consultant to Project Blue Book for more than
twenty years. Allen also contributed to the congressional symposium on UFOs in July 29, 1968. He was
certainly convinced that there were good cases that
could not be explained. Three of the twelve scientists
providing testimony were astronomers. Sightings by
astronomers were mentioned in Dr. James E. McDonalds testimony. Dr. Peter Sturrock, an astrophysicist
from Stanford University, surveyed the membership of
the American Astronomical Society, and found a number of sightings that could not be explained. None of
these serious investigators was especially concerned
by lights in the sky.
An important case carefully investigated by McDonald was the RB-47 case. This lasted for over an
hour. There were six highly trained crewmembers who,
visually and by radar, observed a craft fly around their
aircraft. It was also observed by ground radar, and
emitted electromagnetic signals. Project Blue Book
couldnt identify it either, and McDonalds investigation, based on his interviews with all six of the witnesses, was published in a scientific journal. Shouldnt Plait
have looked carefully at it?
Another topic that Plait ignores are alien abductions, such as the Betty and Barney Hill case, described
in detail in Kathleen Mardens and my book, Captured!
The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience. He doesnt
discuss the feasibility of travel to the stars, crashed
saucers, or the importance of the government in withholding data about UFOs, especially as observed by
the military and intelligence communities. Not many
private groups have large systems for monitoring, via
radar and satellites, the skies both from the ground
UFO Magazine
and from space, and the means to avoid releasing the

data therein obtained.
After all, the first scientific journal article about
the Betty Hill star map work of Marjorie Fish was also
published in Astronomy magazine by Terence Dickinson, then editor, way back in 1974. It got more reader
response than anything they had published. The subsequent thirty-two page full color booklet, The Zeta
Reticuli Incident, published in 1976, which included
the previously published responses, sold more than
10,000 copies before Carl Sagans lawyer threatened
to sue them because his name was on the front with
other commenters. Since I had originally suggested
the story, based on my earlier article in Saga magazine,
they made me an offer I couldnt refuse, and I wound
up with 18,000 copies, now long gone.
Interestingly, Plait was for some time, president
of the James Randi Educational Foundation. Randi, a
debunker personified, had attacked the star map work
in a totally unscientific fashion.
Obviously, I wouldnt expect a serious study on
interstellar travel, using nuclear fusion in Astronomy
magazine. It is a major irony that the astronomical and
SETI communities, all of whose members are aware
that the major source of energy production in all the
stars is nuclear fusion, dont look into fusion propulsion
except in a totally foolish fashion, as I discussed here a
few months back. In short, it is impossible to discover
the science behind UFOs in this article. UFO

Lamy Tell You A Story

Lesley Gunter
bout 18 miles south of Santa Fe, New Mexico lies a little town, well, if you can even call it a town,
which is questionable. Lamy is located on a land grant
originally belonging to Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy
in the 1700s. Anyone who has read Willa Cathers novel
Death comes for the Archbishop knows who he is.
Certainly a famous person in New Mexico history,
he was responsible for the construction of the beautiful
St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe. From what I understand, he made his residence at what is now known as
Bishops Lodge on the outskirts of Santa Fe, which is a
lovely place to spend a weekend.
For some reason I had never been to Lamy before.
Well, I guess because I never had any reason to go, but
on Memorial Day a friends band was playing there, and
I knew the story and thought it would be very interest-

driving a pleasure because you dont have to share it
with anyone.
I wish we could have stopped more during the drive
there, but we were already running a bit late. I saw lots
of ancient-looking adobe homes just rotting away along
the side of the road and some other interesting sites
that I didnt get to stop and take photos of.
There are a few houses there, plus the old train
station and the old saloon. I spent Memorial Day at the
old saloon where a friends band was playing. In its hayday, Lamy seems to not have really been anything much
more than a train stop with a saloon.
Magazine, and there is actually a reason. In 1880 something very strange occurred in the town of Lamy. It is
possibly the oldest recorded UFO sighting in New Mexico. On March 26, 1880 the residents of Lamy sighted a
fish shaped balloon floating above their town. They
said it contained about ten human occupants and that
they heard singing, shouting, and music, which was all
in an unknown language. Sometime during this event a
cup of unusual workmanship and a rose with a letter
tied to it dropped from the craft. The following day a
strange person, possibly what we would call a Man in
Black, showed up and offered a large amount of money
for the objects, telling the folks that they were of Asiatic origin. They sold the objects back to him.
What did the folks of Lamy see and hear? Aliens?
Time travelers?
You may wonder why I am mentioning this in UFO

While it is easy enough to dismiss the fish-shaped

balloon as a zeppelinairships were invented in 1852
but were not in wide use until around 1900what was
the unknown language and why would someone show
up the following day offering a large amount of money
for what had been dropped? Also, what was a balloon
full of foreigners doing sailing over the middle of nowhere New Mexico in 1880?
A thought-provoking
novel about the
challenges facing
Earth when an alien
race makes first

One has to wonder not only who the mysterious

man offering money for the objects was, but also why
it was so important for him to retrieve them. I dont
think an airship full of Asians would be that desperate
to retrieve a dropped letter. At the same time, if they
couldnt read the letters why would a Man in Black or
whatever he was, care about getting them back? Oh,
none of it really makes sense, but it is a great story to
tell at a bar where most people arent from Lamy and
dont know the story.

Honestly the truly wonderful thing is that this story

has been around so long! I am sure that many such experiences are totally lost to history and that is a horrible

it does give those future people something to wonder
about.

Interesting enough, while the term robot only came

into the English language in the mid-1920s, reports
of such beings go back centuries before our present
Christian era. Talos, a giant bronze man some dozens of
feet tall and powered by a magic elixir poured into his
hollow interior via hole in his heel, was created by Hephaistos, one of the lesser Greek gods, and set to guard
the island of Crete.

There were also hand guns; Lugosis Dr. Zorka character had one which, like the Star Trek phasers, could
either stun or destroy. There were also a few rifle-type
ray weapons: the Volkite robots in Undersea Kingdom
(1936) each carried one such death-dealing weapon.
I should mention that for the most part the larger ray

the good guys.
As for the rocket ships, they were usually simple torpedo-shaped affairs with a few fins, two of which were
along the bottom serving as the landing gear. Once the
rocket engine fired, the ship slid lurchingly forward and
sorta lunged into the air; in landing they just plopped
down and slid a short ways and stopped. The control
room was equally simple. Some dials and gauges, pushbuttons, switches, and some levers to pull or push. And
chairs to sit in, all bespeaking a minimalist budget for
actors, models, and special effects. Fancier rocket ships
abounded in the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic
strips, but it was far easier then to draw something than
make it for movies.
Then there was The Flying Disc Man from Mars

(1950) whose earth-built aerial machine could not
only take off and land vertically, but could hover. The
Martians had obviously invented antigravity! And the
little bombs they dropped in their campaign of terror
exploded with the violence of tons of TNT. Mini-nukes,
years before we invented the real thing.

Colonel Corsos claims that it took clues from the socalled Roswell crashed saucer for us to invent lasers,
transistors, and other post-World War II devices is pure
twaddle. I am totally unconvinced that what fell on the
ranch where Mac Brazel worked was extraterrestrial.
So, watching these old serials is fun. There are a lot
of laughs to be had, all the way from the escapes from
murderous traps to the bad-guys good-guys brawls
where even youngsters back then wondered how the
actors kept their hats on despite the rough-and-tumble
fights. How? Plain old adhesive tape!
But if you do no more than watch and giggle, you
are ignoring some marvelous model work. No serial
maker had the budget to wreck trains, planes, bridges,
cars, trucks, and buildings with the gay abandon they
were destroyed in these films. They used models, reused film from earlier serials and feature films, and even
borrowed costumes to garb their extraterrestrials and
the people of their underground empires.
I would note too, that futuristic elements and gadgets were not restricted to the sound serials. See the

My own love affair with New Mexico began when as
an infantas I was later told by my parentsI traveled
through Albuquerque en route to the Golden State of
California. Later, as a young child and then as a teenager, while making those same trips across the Land of
Enchantment, I began to appreciate the austere windswept beauty of the open deserts, the stark crags of
young mountains, the Spanish architecture, the blending of cultures, and the food.
And as an avid science-fiction fan and aspiring
rocketeer, when I found an opportunity to work my
way through college in the White Sands Missile Range
New Mexico State University cooperative education
program, I jumped at the chance, and spent the next
ten years in Las Cruces, tracking missiles and attending
college. Even after earning three degrees and moving
away for twenty years, the haunting lure of the deserts,
mountains, and forests, the freely shared spirituality, the
creative atmosphere, and not least, the wonderful food,

was irresistible. Eventually I returned, this time to Albuquerque and its high-tech employment opportunities.
Exploration and Epiphany

While walking through some of the beautiful valleys
northwest of Duke City, I came across a site comprising the adobe-brick ruins of an abandoned Catholic
church, adjacent to Native American kivas or circular
sweat lodges sunk into the ground. That afternoon, as
I pondered such a juxtaposition of religious practices, a
feeling of something like spiritual responsibility swept
over me. It was almost as if a voice said, Pay attention

These experiences, these sights, began to meld into
a vision, a story, and as if in a television show, I saw an
Anglo man (not me), dragging behind him a large slab
of grayish stone with various petroglyphs carved into
it. And thus was born my latest novel, an ebook for the
Kindle and Nook called Valley of the Shaman.
Shocked, I made mental notes of that site and

everything else I saw that day.Later, I drove past a soda

In frustration, I finally began sketching out the ancient petroglyph figures I kept imagining on the carved

almost exact copies of each of them in various publications about actual rock-art symbols. Those symbols
became the chapter headings for the novel, and in each

these beings are real. Some place them into religious
frameworks such as angels or demons, but regardless
of the cultural wrappings, the entities exist. So how do
these beings who visit in the night, invading our dreams
or nightly journeys and harassing us sexually, figure into
the abduction phenomena?
UFO researcher Ann Druffel suggested in an archived interview with esoterica researcher and podcast
host Tim Binnall that these beings came along in their
many forms with the cultures that made up America. A
mixture of many cultures with their own lore, the enti-

ties had to come up with a generic folklore and thus,
the alien-ET abduction phenomena was created.
This is not a popular theory for some, including me,
because it eliminates the ET theory. The two dont have
to be exclusive; they could be two different things.
Because the jinn exist, for example, does not mean that
ET doesnt. Upon discovering these entities, religions
and cultures shaped them to their own constructs;
conversely, the entities shaped themselves to whatever
systems they encountered.
This Jungian-Campbell-Valle thread is nothing new.
Its what mythologists have been telling us for a long time.
In fact, its possible, as Druffel believes, that these entities
Contents
and their abduction plays are separate from UFOs altogether. Im not sure about that point. It seems like semantical hairsplitting. Since the entities like to stage their
antics within an outer-space UFO framework, it is a part of
UFO phenomena; it doesnt mean it is the phenomena.
Not talked about much in UFO circles is the fact
that some experiencers have successfully been able to
keep these entities from visiting them by invoking the
name of Jesus Christ. Praying to Jesus seems to actually bring relief from the gray alien-type beings. It sounds
ridiculous for some, including me, but Im not a religious
person and certainly not a Christian. Nonetheless, it seems
to work because Ive experienced this myself. When I was
a teenagerand on rare occasions as an adultthere
June 2013
were times during severe atavistic panic attacks in the

astral dreamstate that Ive called on Jesus Christ to come
between me and them. It worked every time.
Nothing would stop these beings from getting at
me until in sheer desperation I called out to Jesus, and
that was what would make them vanish and leave me
alone. Before the reader thinks Ive been saved and
gotten religion, Ive also had success during meditation
with using stones and crystals and visualizing white light
between me and them.
When I was younger I wasnt familiar with the latter
techniques and tools; the only thing I knew to grasp
onto in my panic was the religious framework I was
already familiar with. So it seems that yes, calling on Jesus works, but so do other techniques. Clear intent and
the power of will, delivered through a ritualistic tool or
toolsJesus, crystalsappear to keep the gray buggers at a distance. Some would argue against this; UFO
experiencer Joe Jordan is one.
Synchronicity is such a familiar and expected occurrence when exploring the esoteric. As I was finishing up

that, and certainly not the UFO researcher who strives

for credibility.
Jordans experience goes beyond acknowledging

the fact that calling out Jesus Christ can protect you
from entities. He converted to Christianity and had
some high strangeness events happen since then, including messages from the beyond and visions.
I was so embarrassed by the fact that my calling out

to Jesus worked, and its not something Ive mentioned
publicly before now. It wasnt so much Jesus-is-real as
it was the power of my intent. Others may disagree,
but this isnt a religious debate. Its about a phenomena
inside of a phenomena.
Another Christian experiencer is Heidi Hollis, author

of Jesus is No Joke: A True Story of an Unlikely Witness
Who Saw Jesus (Level Head Publishing, 2008) and The
Secret War: The Heavens Speak of the Battle (Writers
Club Press, 2008). Hollis gives advice to experiencers
on her site who encounter entities and UFO-related
events.
Obviously this area can quickly become intricate in

its explorations. It involves not only UFO research but
journeys into altered states, philosophy, metaphysics,
symbolism, cultures; all kinds of messy stuff the straightahead UFO researcher often doesnt have the time for,
let alone patience.
Druffel, in her book How to Defend Yourself Against

Alien Abductions (Three Rivers Press, 1998), suggests
several ways to combat entities, including righteous
anger, protective rage, and appeal to spiritual
personages. Despite the personal beliefs of Jordan,
Hollis, and other religious individuals, there are other
techniques that also work.
I have to ask myself why it is that Druffels ideas
about the jinn appeal to me and make some sense,
while fundamentalist Christians who adamantly state
that UFOs and aliens are the devil give me the heebie-jeebies? Likely, theres a bit of personal bias, given
my antireligious doctrine views.
But really, its because religious opinions like these
seem so rigid, entrenched in a low form of superstition
without substance while ignoring the broader picture.

And if one is religious, depending on a particular

religious view, it might be impossible to get past that to
look at this in any useful way. It might be difficult because of our diverse and firmly held ideas about religion. It might even be impossible for some.
The UFO-Bible connection isnt anything new, but it
does seem that it exists in a dichotomous state in UFO
research. Youre either a religious person or youre not.
If youre religious, youll give it attention; if youre not,
you ignore it and see it as superstitious fundamentalism.
Theres good reason to be very careful in this area.
Jordan, for example, does seem to be about converting people and using the UFO lecture circuit for this
purpose, as author Greg Bishop reported in his blog

The Future of Human Experience explores the
importance of being aware of the intention behind any
act, as it is the energy that drives the quality of our
actions. The Future of Human Experience examines our
ability to look ahead and to see where we are going,
showing that how we do what we do is a vital aspect of
our lives. In fact, by our sheer presence each one of us
June 2013
is changing the world every moment. Our nature, our

character, and our actions shape the future now. Our
thoughts impact and create possibilities. Our words
shape matter. We humans are godlike and possess the
keys to the powers of emanation, creation, formation,
and action, as taught by the Kabbalistic alchemists for
centuries.
Having been a student of philosophy, spiritual disciplines, and sacred esoteric teachings since a young
age, I, like many others, have found affiliation in the
worldview which places human beings in direct relationship to the creative power that makes the manifest
world stable and reveals the immaterial realm as one
full of light and potential. Given that we humans are
divine light beings and are, just as we have been told,
made in the image of deity or perfection, we have
within our makeup a minireflection of how the cosmos
operates as well. The laws that govern the stars also
govern the atoms of which we are all made.
So, what if in this scheme of things, the force that
we call love or the law of affinity and coherence, is
the divine energy that endows each created form with
spiritual vitalitythe sustaining essence of the universal matrix? What if we are designed from love, to
love? This is not a romantic love dependant on special
situations or people, nor is it a passive love as in appreciating someone or something from a distance. Rather
this love is one that invigorates each person to willed
action, to serving each other, and to showing reverence
in all realms in which we have presence on earth and in
the cosmos.
Specifically, what if love is what does the synapsing
between will and body in order for the highest good to
be manifest? The love I refer to is not especially personal, although each person can experience this type
UFO Magazine
of love. Rather, it is universal and unconditional; it is a

state of being, not just a way of feeling. Such love pulls
things together and creates unitymaking beauty and
peace.
This is a primary perennial teaching and the end
goal of the practices of all sacred lineages. It is consistently taught as a truism by indigenous people everywhere on earth. Scientists today are confirming that this
unified reality impacts how the manifest and immaterial
realms interact.

As a state of beingness, this divine love is experienced consciously by an awakened human. We know
that consciousness is both localexisting in a fixed
moment of timeand nonlocal, occurring beyond the
constraints of either time or space. This means that
we can each be doing something physical in the world
while also thinking about something else not yet manifest. The Future of Human Experience explores how this
skillthe ability to imagine and then individually and
collectively create a renewed worldis what makes us
unique as humans.

Suggesting that we are divine beings requires substantiation. The Future of Human Experience delineates
the many ways that our natural innate skillssuch as
nonlocal consciousness, remote viewing, and healing at
a distanceare as integral to our being as walking and
sleeping are to our dense physical body and the soul
that temporarily inhabits it. That we are immortal beings whose consciousness continues after the death of
the body has been demonstrated in thousands of case
studies on reincarnation, past-life recall, near-death
experiences, and afterlife communication.
ourselves.
We find that ancient civilizations developed rituals

and practices for integrating mans multidimensional aspects. They understood that our thoughts and feelings
are the mediator between the immaterial realm and the
manifest world, between heaven and Earth, between
what is seen and not seen. They knew that the question
of what the future will be like can be answered by focusing our attention in our hearts and minds and seeing
what is reflected there. I believe that in our souls we all
share the same reflected image or archetype, a perfect
unity of being between the divine source of life and all
created life-forms. It is this perfect pattern within each
of us that sustains all of humanitys longings and hopes
for an existence with less suffering and for a life that is
meaningful and good.
Now we can articulate how we are metaphysical

beings of light and how our ancient cultures foretold of
these days when humanity would awaken and be asked
to take another step in our evolution. Creating paradise now means taking that one giant (quantum) step
for mankind. The chapters of this book break that one
giant step down into smaller steps; ones that are just,
sustainable, and universal.
The universe is reflexive, as Arthur Young posited in

1976 in his seminal work The Reflexive Universe: Evolution of Consciousness. The laws that govern this reality
are karmic laws; what the Hebrews meant when they
stated, As ye sow, so shall ye reap. (cf. Job 4:8). Given that our divine inheritance allows us to choose what
we do and understanding that karma is the great equalizer, it is wise to recall that what we do to the Earth, we
do to ourselves. What we do to any creature, we do to
ourselves. What we do to any other person, we do to

Each chapter in this book examines a different

aspect of what it means to be alive on the planet today
and offers up keys to our shared journey. In my own
mind and heart I believe that we are being asked to assist in creating the Good Earth Society now, and that
the Good Earth Society is our truest manifest destiny
what some traditions call paradise. This is the natural
habitat of the soul and the natural state of the Earth
that each soul is informed by.
Chapter 1, Remembering Catastrophe in Paradise, raises the specter of cataclysm as a nursemaid of

transformation in human history. It asks us to look at the
collective memory of catastrophe and how our collective and individual memories of the past and visions of
the future overlap. Here we examine our ancient stories
and the modern view of catastrophism as a vital part of
the human story.
Chapter 2, Predicting the Future, introduces us
to future visions of the Earth. They are both paradisical
and apocalyptic. By utilizing the gifts of visionaries and
strategic planners, it is clear the future is in part known
now.
Chapter 3, Remembering Our Nature: Operators

show that alignment with a unified field of divine right
order amplifies symmetry. Memory as a function of the
human soul and future imagination is the way in which
the dream of the world is seen, indicating that we are a
multidimensional consciousness participating in a cosmic phenomenon.

Chapter 4 Using Ancient Software: Interpreting

Patterns Is Key to Seeing the Future, explores the way
in which ancient civilizations used patterns of meaning as divinatory tools, such as the I Ching, astrology,
numerology, and the archeo-sky matrix of today. This
chapter shows that we are pattern makers and recognizers. This seems to be the way in which consciousness
operates in relation to cosmic reality and mediates between the now of the material realm and the potential
of the immaterial realms.
Chapter 5, Becoming Earth Beings, examines
more closely the Earth itself as a biosystem. When nurtured in devotion, it unfolds its greatest potential. From
biodynamic farming to sonic bloom, to the consciousness of plant life, to the importance of the honeybee,
and the welfare of all sentient animals, we are called to

separate from us or our consciousness. Soft technologies like Wilhelm Reich's cloud busting demonstrate
that we and the Earth are one living beingness and that
science which unfolds from a point of reverence will end
up creating a refined, just, and sustainable society.
Chapter 6, Knowing the Divine Body and the
Sacred Heart, begins to look at the artificial adaptation
of the bodysuggesting that artificial organs do not
diminish the importance of our consciousness as the integrator of well-being. Using heart and heart transplant
patients as examples of the challenges bioengineering

spiritual heart.
Chapter 7, Examining Science and Technology: Brave New Tools, begins by examining artificial
intelligence created as a result of genetic and robotic
engineering. These new tools give us an opportunity
to begin playing what some have called god games.
Other new tools will usher in the new energy age on
this planet.
Chapter 8, Being Consciousness: The Link between Everything, reveals that our human biosystems
are divine capacitors. From dowsing to experiments in
human consciousness, it is clear that we have the power

Searching for the Truth
Dennis Balthesar
Politicians Priorities
really do not enjoy writing or talking about

political concerns I have, but am becoming more concerned that the only objective our leaders in Washington have are interests that benefit themselves. I wont
lay blame on any individual party either, as I feel they all
fall into the same trap once they get to Washington.
Over the past 65 years much has been written and
reported in reference to the UFO situation world wide,
while our leaders have for the most part ignored it, or
have shown no interest in looking in to it, so the public
might at least know truthfully what all these reports are
about.
Nearly every President since Truman has indicated
they would investigate the reports and have not succeeded in doing so. I think I do understand that since
UFO Magazine
the President is a temporary employee serving a maximum of eight years as president, he most likely doesnt
have the security clearance, or need to know to follow
through on his desire to obtain the information. In my
opinion the president cant be trusted with such information. Nearly all have tried while in office to no avail,
which Ill explain later.
Many of those that are in Congress are active on
various committees that could easily look into the UFO
situation, but have not done so to any satisfactory degree. Excuses for not doing so are evident in some of
the reports I have read. This is not a matter of serving
only their constituents they represent from each state,
but a national concern that should be looked at by
many or all of those that are elected to serve the people they represent. The Constitution states plainly in its
Contents
opening statement, We the People, and for me thats

been lost by those we elect to represent us in Washington.
When legislation needs to be passed prior to being
read by those voting on it, as Nancy Pelosi recently alluded to regarding passage of the Obama Care bill, we
have a major problem with those we elected to represent us. I suppose I shouldnt expect them to take UFO
reports under consideration, based on their current
records, of not being able to agree on any legislation
that currently affects all of us.
Two presidents, Reagan and Carter, reported sightings of UFOs prior to becoming president, while governors of their states in California and Georgia. Reagan
even addressed the UFO topic at the United Nations in
June 2013
a speech given there in 1987 while president. President

Clinton had an interest in UFOs and asked an aide to
look into the topic, who reported back to the him that
he could not find any information. Ive heard rumors
about Eisenhower having some involvement with extraterrestrials, but have never seen any confirmation on
that. George Bush senior was head of the CIA prior to
becoming president and may well have been the only
president with any prior knowledge of UFOs, although
he has never publicly mentioned anything that Im
aware of.
Barry Goldwater was a United States Senator from
Arizona who ran for President in the 1960s and lost to
Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 Presidential election. He
was also a member of the Senate Intelligence committee, and promoted to Brigadier General in the Air Force
Reserve. His interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial
beings visiting earth has been recorded several times
in interviews he did, particularly during an interview
with Larry King on CNN in 1988. He had asked General
Curtis LeMay about going in to the Blue Room at Hangar 18 at Wright Field in Dayton Ohio, and was told by
General LeMay to go to hell and dont ever ask me

that question again.
In 1995, New Mexico Congressman Steven Schiff
requested an investigation into the Roswell Incident
through the General Accounting Office. The report he
received back after the GAO had interviewed several
agencies in Washington stated that the documents related to Roswell were missing and destroyed without
proper authority. Those were permanent records that
should have never been destroyed. The GAO further
stated they could not identify who destroyed the messages or why. Those messages would have involved the
509th Bomb Group, the only atomic bomb group in the
world in 1947, who ended the war with Japan two years
earlier. This, of course, raises the question of accountability among our leaders in Washington then and now.
Many times when I submit a Freedom of Information Request Form for military records to the National
Personnel Records Center in St Louis, Missouri, I will
get a response in a form letter stating those records
may have been destroyed in a fire at the center July 12,
1973.
Since the
Roswell Incident
occurred in 1947
there have been a
few congressional
hearings on the
subject of UFOs,
with no substantial information
coming forward
from those hearings to resolve
the question.
UFO Magazine
Contents
Meetings have been held at the United Nations, again,

with no results. Astronauts, law enforcement officers,
airline pilots and such have brought up the subject of
UFOs existing; again, with no follow up by any legislators or people in the know.
The Phoenix lights, Stephenville Texas near President Bushs ranch, the OHara airport incident and
many others have all been reported by credible individuals, but no one follows through on these well documented occurrences. Lame, unsatisfactory excuses
are sometimes given by those in authority to pacify the
public, and then the incident is filed away, never to be
mentioned again, such as was the case with the Condon Report, Blue Book, the Roswell Reports and several
other reports made public over the years.
Many of us believe the four excuses given for Roswell during the past 60-some years do not satisfactorily
explain what happened on the ranch near Roswell. For
me that raises the question of who in our government
is willing to admit that they have been lying to us for
all those years? I dont see that happening, and would
open the question to a lot of other things our Government and certain military leaders have been covering
up, and still do today, if you watch the national news
almost on a daily basis.
Cover up has become a way of life and doing
business by our leaders in Washington and at some
local levels, and it appears that We, the People are
accepting that. At my age, the concern I have for our
younger generation is that although there is information we probably dont need to know for our nations
security, lying to us about many of these cases is not
what our elected officials are elected to do in representing us. UFO

UFOs and Strange Creatures

As readers of my books, articles, and View From a
Brit columns may know, aside from UFOs, my other big
interest when it comes to the matter of unsolved mysteries is the field of cryptozoology.
Or monster-hunting. In other words:
Bigfoot
the Chupacabras
the Loch Ness Monster
the Abominable Snowman
Mothman
There are many more, and they are all part and
parcel of the domain of cryptozoology. But less well
UFO Magazine
known are the many and varied links between ufology

and cryptozoology. Strange aerial objects have been
seen flying and hovering over Loch Ness, Scotland on
more than several occasions. UFO encounters involving
Bigfoot-type creatures are surprisingly common, as are
the claims that this is an issue about which government
agencies know a great deal.
Over the years I have carefully and quietly collected many such accounts that link both UFOs and deep
conspiracy with the arena of cryptozoology. And, now, I
have done something with those accounts. Namely: Ive
written a new book on this very topic: Monster Files: A
Look Inside Government Secrets and Classified Documents on Bizarre Creatures and Extraordinary Animals.
Published by New Page Books, its available right now.
Contents
For absolutely decades, there have been rumors,

tales, and legends that have surfaced to the effect that
government agencies all around the world and since at
least the early- to mid-1800s onwards have been secretly collecting and carefully studying data on bizarre
beasts, extraordinary animals, and strange creatures.
Lake monsters
psychic dogs and cats
sea serpents
flying monsters
werewolves
the Abominable Snowman
June 2013
And then there is the huge,

hair-covered man-beast known as
Bigfoot: Each and every one of
them has attracted official, classified interest at one time or another and sometimes for decades,
no less. Not only that, those very
same rumors, tales, and legends
have provoked numerous controversial and astounding questions,
including: does the Pentagons
top brass, deep in a secure underground bunker, secretly have
one or more dead Bigfoot on
ice? And, if so, has a study and
autopsy of these unique corpses
shown the creatures to simply be
apes of a type that zoology has
yet to officially categorize? Or,
are they something far weirder?
Might they possibly, and incredibly, even be beastly entities
linked to the many and varied
intricacies that lie behind the
UFO phenomenon? Astounding
stories suggest the answer could
well be yes!
What bizarre truths are the
militaries of the United States and
the United Kingdom hiding from
us about long-necked lake monsters such as the famous Nessie
of Scotlands Loch Ness? Are
they really surviving examples of
prehistoric creatures that we are
assured became extinct millions
of years ago? Or could they, in a
UFO Magazine
Contents
very curious and convoluted fashion, be the curious and

top secret creations of government itself?
How on earth can there be a link between the
clandestine and controversial operations of the Central Intelligence Agency and those dark and diabolical
denizens of the Himalayas known as the Abominable
Snowmen? Does the CIA secretly know that this immense and legendary creature, also referred to as the
Yeti, really does exist in those wild, icy mountains? Or
does officialdoms interest in the hairy thing revolve
around matters that have far less to do with the world
of monster hunting and far more to do with top-secret
espionage of a type that dates back to the very height
of the Cold War?
Why does an old and faded British Government
file exist on sightings of Godzilla-sized monsters of the
seas? Is Britains Royal Navy sitting on amazing classified evidence suggesting that such leviathan-like creatures really are among us and are not just the stuff of
sea-faring legend?
What do the Russians know about both extra-sensory perception and life after death in animals? Has the
Kremlin, incredibly, discovered that animals have souls
and that bodily death is not the end of life as we, and
just about every other living thing on the planet too,
knows it? Did the United States Army, at the height of
the Cold War, try and use psychic dogs in covert military missions against the former Soviet Union?
Are presumed-extinct animals, known to officialdom, still roaming around the forests of Australia, creatures that range from a gigantic marauding lizard to one
of the strangest marsupials that ever existed?
What is the top secret connection between the late
June 2013
that are rumored to have secretly tasked and worried

the finest minds of the CIA, the FBI, the British Royal
Navy, the Australian Government, the state-sponsored
scientists of the former Soviet Union, and the U.S.
Army, Navy, and Air Force. For years, agencies of government have taken an astonishingly deep interest in
those legendary creatures that mainstream science and
zoology assure us do not, and simply cannot, exist but
that just might be doing exactly that, after all.
Monsters are not myths, fantasy, legend or folklore.
In their own very odd and unique ways, they are all too
terrifyingly real. And the governments of our world secretly know it, too. But they dont want you to know the
monstrous truth.
But how, and to what extent, are many of the mysterious beasts of our planet linked to the intelligences
behind the UFO phenomenon? Well, the cases are many.
The explanations encompass such matters as the ominous and infamous Men in Black, dimension-hopping
monsters and wormholes, secret military programs of a
disinformation-based nature, the possibility that Bigfoot
has unearthly origins, and a great deal more. Collectively,
it all suggests an astounding scenario: that the subjects
of ufology and cryptozoology are not as separate as
many might very well assume them to be. UFO
Diana, Princess of Wales, and large, savage cats prowling around the foggy and mysterious wilds of southwest
England? How could there even be a connection, in the
first place, between the highest echelons of Britains Royal Family and exotic felines that the government of the
United Kingdom assures both its citizens and the media
alike are nothing more than the results of mistaken identity and folklore rolled into one controversial brew?

The Randle Report
Kevin Randle
Kenneth Arnold & Cedar Rapids
ve been working on a new book, and I was

chasing down stories of flying saucers and flying discs
seen prior to June 24, 1947 and after 1941. Sure, there
are some, but all, or almost all, seem to have been reported after Kenneth Arnolds story appeared in newspapers.
One of the best of these, reported in many sources,
came from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and according to one
document, Alfred Loedding and the Great Flying Saucer Wave of 1947 by Michael Hall and Wendy Connors,
Thus neither of those sightings [one from El Paso,
Texas and one from Wapakoneta, Oregon] made the
papers before Arnolds account, but one story was actually reported to newspapers on the 23rd. The tale came
from a railroad engineer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As he
UFO Magazine
was climbing off his engine, he observed ten shiny discshaped objects flying in a string-like formation, like
wild geese. The six-line story it generated produced little attention at the time. The source of this, according
to the footnote, was a speech given by Frank Edwards
in April, 1956.
I have found references to this sighting in other
publications. Richard Hall, in his 1964 book, The UFO
Evidence, lists it in two places, Section XI, page 129
and Section XII, page 152. Neither supplies much in the
way of information. It is basically a recap of this other
story and in neither place is there a source.
An Internet site listed Ted Bloechers The Report on
the UFO Wave of 1947 as a source, but I was unable to
Contents
find it in his book. If it is, I would hope that someone

would point it out to me, but I dont think theyll find it.
Bloecher used newspaper files for his documentation
and so, if he didnt find it in a newspaper, it was probably not published anywhere.
Now I was reading, the other day, a criticism of a
UFO book, and it was suggested that primary sources
were the best. Not witness testimony, but something
that had been written down, such as a newspaper article or military document created at the time. If nothing
else, that article could help establish the credibility of
the sighting. Someone quoting another book would not
be a primary source it might be a secondary source,
but might be even further removed from the primary
source such as the book quoting another book that
June 2013
quoted Frank Edwards.

So, rather than quote those other books, rather
than make a list of Internet and web sites that quoted
the story, I thought about looking in the Cedar Rapids
newspapers to find the original story. In June 1947,
there were two newspapers in Cedar Rapids, The Cedar
Rapids Gazette and the Cedar Rapids Tribune.
I carefully read the Gazette for June 23 and did
not find any UFO related reports. I went through the
issue twice. I looked on June 24 but it was not there
either. Nor was it there on the 25th, 26th, or 27th. Of
course, if printed after June 24, it was just another of
the many cases that surfaced after Arnolds sighting hit
the national circuit. Yes, I did find the Arnold story in
the Gazette and thought the engineers tale might be
appended to it, but it was not.
The Tribune was not a daily paper and did not have
an issue on June 23. I looked at several issues, but they
didnt even carry any flying disc reports. The newspaper
was more geared to the local area.
And I was even allowed to search the librarys database for the newspaper articles. It wasnt there, but
then, I was told that they missed things in preparing
the database. That it wasnt there didnt mean anything
other than it wasnt there. When appended to the other
failed searches, that information becomes more significant.
While this sighting, if published on June 23, or even
on June 24, would have been an important contribution
to the UFO history, I was unable to find any documentation for it prior to Edwards 1956 speech. It does not
appear in the Cedar Rapids newspapers, and I seriously
doubt that any other newspaper would have carried it.
UFO Magazine
There was a school of thought that the case is listed

in the Project Blue Book files, but it is from the Des
Moines, Iowa area, happened on June 29, and involved
a bus driver rather than a railroad engineer. But the details of the sighting are not a good match and the story
was reported on July 8. Even if this was the right case, it
does nothing for us. It is just another of those sightings
made after Arnold, reported after Arnold, and involves
a single witness. The Air Force wrote it off as coming
from an unreliable person.
But I continued the search and have found the original source for the story of a Cedar Rapids engineer who
saw the flying discs. A headline in the Cedar Rapids
Gazette said, Flying Discs Seen By Railroad Man. The
problem? The newspaper is dated June 28, 1947 and
appears two days after the Arnold story was printed in
that paper. And it didnt happen in Cedar Rapids.
The article, which is not six lines or six paragraphs
as suggested by other sources, but a little longer than
that, said:
A railroad man said Friday [which is June 27, 1947
and eliminates the need for further information right
there because the story appeared after Arnold] he saw
about nine spinning discs speeding through the sky
last Tuesday [June 24] the same day an Idaho flyer said
he saw some flashing objects in the air.
Charles Kastl [yes, that is the way it is spelled consistently in the article], 60 [which means he would be
126 today], an employe [sic] of the Elgin, Joliet and
Eastern railroad for 38 years, saw he saw the discs
about 1:50 p.m. (CST) as he was walking along the
highway to work.
No other person in the Joliet area reported any-
Contents
thing unusual.
Kastl said he saw a string of flat, circular objects
going faster than any plane I ever saw about 10 to
12 miles east of Joliet [Illinois]. They were flying about
4,000 feet, he said.
They appeared to be very high, and were going
from north to south, he said. I could see no connecting link between them, but they acted as though
the leading disc had a motor in it to power the others,
because when it flipped, the others would too. When it
would right itself, the others would right themselves.
Kastl said he did not tell anyone but his wife about
seeing the objects until Friday, because I didnt think
anything about it.
When he returned from a railroad run Friday, however, he learned that Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho,
pilot had reported seeing objects similar to the ones he
claimed to have seen. Arnold said he saw objects over
the Pacific Northwest.
Charles Preucil, head of the Joliet astronomical society, said there would be no natural cause for a display
such as Kastl described.
Given the information in this article and given the
descriptions given for the Cedar Rapids sighting, I
believe this is the source. It did not happen in Cedar
Rapids, nor did it happen on June 23. I will assume
here, risking fate, that someoneFrank Edwards?
miscalculated the date of Tuesday, believing it to be the
23rd, and not realizing it was the 24th.
Hall and Connors (who reported the most about
the sighting) footnote indicated that this information
June 2013
came from a speech given by Frank Edwards on April

28, 1956, to the Civilian Saucer Intelligence. I found
nothing that predates this, and is the reason I suspect Frank Edwards as the source of the inaccurate
information.
As I have mentioned, Richard Hall, in The UFO
Evidence, reported, 6-23-47. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
10 shiny discs fluttering along in a string. Even if
we wish to keep the entry as a reliable report, we

was not Cedar Rapids but Joliet, Illinois.
And also look at Robert Loftin, in his Identified
Flying Objects reported, June 23, 1947 Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. Railroad engineer saw ten shiny discshaped objects, very high, fluttering in a string toward the northeast.

to chase it down. If I could, I
would strike if from the UFO

can hope that others will stumble across this information as
they search for evidence. UFO
This should put to rest the idea that there was a

sighting in Cedar Rapids on June 23 by an engineer.
It should end the discussion that this case preceded
Arnold by a day. Everything I have learned about it
suggests that it happened on the day of the Arnold
sighting, if it happened at all, but was not reported
until two days later and eventually ended up in the
Cedar Rapids newspaper.
I will confess one other thing about this case.
I dont believe it. I think the guy was just spinning
a tale about seeing something and because these
things were now part of that news cycle, a reporter
talked to him and wrote the story. The original importance of it had been the suggestion that it preceded Arnold, and without that, it is another single
witness case that does not advance our knowledge

June 2013
by Kevin Randle
fter the recent Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, which took place in Washington, D.C. at the end
of April, former Congressman Merrill Cook from Utah,
said, I do not believe there has been any strong, credible evidence of [alien visits] at this point, but I do think
there has been some credible evidence of things that
are unidentified that had been flying about.
At first this seemed to indicate failure on the part of
the 41 witnesses and researchers who had presented
evidence for the committee of six former Congressional
representatives and senators, but such is not the case.
Rather than reject the idea of alien visitation, Cook said
that the evidence didnt convince him of aliens, but he
did say there was credible evidence that something was
happening. He, with his fellows, seemed to believe that
additional research was required. Instead of rejecting
the idea out of hand, he wanted to see more evidence.
UFO Magazine
Steve Bassett, the man behind the Paradigm Research Organization, came up with the idea of holding
this hearing at the National Press Club in Washington,
D. C. during the week of April 29. The committee, who
were each paid $20,000 for their workalthough I have
yet to figure out why so many find the idea of paying
someone for work extraordinary, especially those in
the media who are paid for their worklistened to
witnesses of extraordinary events, researchers who
had attempted to unravel some of the mysteries, and
historians who attempted to put these revelations into
context.
Probably the biggest splash was made on the first
day when Stephen Greer provided testimony about his
research activities. An evening session by Greer included brief remarks about his attempts to discover the
identity of a small creature found in Chile, as filmed in
Contents
his documentary film Sirius.

Greer took the podium and gave us an abbreviated lecture. He told us that many in the media who had
seen an advance copy of the movie or had viewed it on
the Internet before it was removed said that the DNA
proved the little being was a human. But that wasnt
quite right. He noted that our genetic makeup matched
that of the Neanderthal to more than 99 percent and
that we shared 97 percent of our genes with the great
apes.
This little creature had a genetic makeup that was
about 90 or 91 percent of ours. That left some 9 percent that was unidentified. Greer said that this could
be caused by problems with the computer analysis;
it could be bad sequencing, or just damaged genes.
There were many plausible answers for this discrepan-

ed out, the creaturelittle human, tiny alienwhatever

it might be, shouldnt have been able to survive years
given its size.
There are some conflicting points of view, which
suggest that the mystery is still there but final answers
are possible. For example, the website Science Now reported, This looks to me like a badly desiccated and
mummified human fetus or premature stillbirth, says
William Jungers, a paleoanthropologist and anatomist
at Stony Brook University Medical Center in New York.
He notes that barely ossified and immature elements
of the hands and feet, and the wide open metopic
suture, where the two frontal bones of the skull come
together down the middle of the forehead. Genetic
anomalies are not evident, probably because there
aren't any, he says. Nolan responds that the rib number
and epiphyseal plate densities remain a riddle; while he
is open to the fetus hypothesis, he thinks that the jury is
still out.
Or, you could say that it was some sort of mutation
that survived birth. A single example of a mutation that
didnt live long enough to reproduce, if it had ever
been able. Greer, however, said that there may be other
examples, and he is chasing them down. One in Russia might have been seen alive by people who are still
alive. In other words, there might be some very exciting
evidence that these little things exist in the world today,
though even Greer believes that highly unlikely.
cy, but at the moment, there were none. He said that

experts in genetics, top scientists in the field at prestigious universities were intrigued by these problems.
In fact, one of them, Garry Nolan, director of stemcell biology at Stanford University's School of Medi-

cine in California, said that it wasnt a monkey. Nolan

said that it had lived to six or eight years, based on an
examination of the bones, and that it had been a living, breathing creature. In other words, Nolan, with the
proper scientific credentials is just the sort of man youd
want to examine something like this. And, as he point-

So, I found his documentary interesting, which is

usually code for I didnt like it much but dont want to
say anything bad. What I mean is that I didnt agree
with some of what he said, did enjoy the various clips of
UFOs shown, and was very interested in the information
about the little being.
June 2013
There were parts I ignored and other parts that I

watched carefully. But the point for me was the analysis
of the little creature. Greer made it clear that the analysis was continuing and the final answer, when we get
there, will be fascinating whatever it is.
The next day John Burroughs and Jim Penniston
talked of their involvement at the Bentwaters UFO
landing in 1980. Burroughs, according to a tape created by retired Colonel Charles Halt, who was the senior
officer present, had gotten closer to the object than
anyone else, but Halt had not been there on the first
night when Penniston was close enough to touch it. As
he did.
For me, their testimony wasnt important because of
the UFO but because, after retiring from the Air Force,
both with more than twenty years of service, they were
having medical trouble from that service. Both said
that these medical problems could be traced to those
nights in 1980 when they were in the Rendlesham
Forest searching for the source of the strange lights
near the base. Their health was fine before the events
and could be documented by required military physical
examinations, and afterwards they began to manifest
the various symptoms. But they are unable to retrieve
those medical records because of various regulations
and rules supposedly designed to protect the service
members. In this case it is keeping them from receiving
medical benefits they earned with their long service.
The afternoon session was made up of three former
officers assigned to missile silos and a high-ranking
NCO who witnessed UFO activities. Robert Salas led
it off, and had Salas been the only former or retired
officer to talk about UFO activities and how they had
caused the missiles to go off-line, then we could ignore him. Maybe he overreacted, maybe he had misun-

derstood the situation, or maybe he

was just making it up for his fifteen
minutes of fame.
But there was documentation to
show that all ten minuteman missiles in another flight at Malmstrom
AFB had failed in the same way just
days before. Other documentation
in the Project Blue Book files told
of multiple-witness UFO sightings
in Belt, Montana at the same time
that all ten missiles in Salass flight
failed.
And now two other missileers
from two other minuteman bases,
one in Cheyenne, Wyoming and
the other in Minot, North Dakota,
told of UFO penetration over their
security areas. Given all this, these
sightings would affect national
security and one of them was investigated by the Condon Committee
in 1967. They would attribute the
sightings to sleepy, lonely airmen
at the base and overlook the clear indication of interference with radio communications. In the end, the
Condon Committee would conclude that there were no
national-security implications but that conclusion would
be in conflict with the evidence of these penetrations.
All the men said they had been required to sign
nondisclosure agreements, and they all said they had
been ridiculed by their fellow Air Force officers and
NCOs. All also said they knew of others with similar
experiences who were afraid to speak out for fear of
losing their pensions or because of the ridicule they ex-

and the information was beginning to flow.
On Wednesday was the Roswell panel with Don
Schmitt, Stan Friedman, Jesse Marcel, Jr., Jesse
Marcel III, Denise Marcel, and me. Jesse Marcel, Jr.,
who had handled the debris his father retrieved from
the ranch, was an important and credible witness.
Committee members asked him about those experiences when his father brought home the debris.
They examined a mockup of the I-beam that Marcel
remembered.

Merrill Cook asked if anyone in 1947 had seen the

alien bodies, but it wasnt clear if he wanted to know
if someone had discussed it in 1947 or if he wanted to
know if someone there in 1947 had seen them. Each
time we tried to offer an answer, he seemed to change
the question by adding qualifications or modifications
to it.
The answer was, of course, that none of us were
around in 1947other than Stanto gather evidence.
However, Dan Dwyer had told family members in 1947
that he had seen the bodies, describing them as small

mony for that.

There was also Beverly Bean, whose father Melvin
Brown told her during the first moon landing that the
UFOs were real and that he had seen the bodies. There
is another version of this that suggests he told her
sometime later, but the point is that he was apparently
saying these things prior to the publication of the Roswell information and yes, both her sister and her mother have confirmed that Brown said these things, which,
again, doesnt make them true; only that he said them
several times over the years.
I mentioned Edwin Easley and what he had said to
family members, but, of course, this all came about in
the early 1990s. So, we had the names of people who
seemed to have passed word of the bodies in 1947,
and the names of people who had been there in Roswell in 1947 who mentioned bodies to family members
at some point after that. We had the answer to the
question. We just didnt articulate it well.
Thursday was spent interviewing witnesses from
foreign countries, including several from South America. In one case from South America, a pilot, Comandante Oscar Santa Maria Huertas (Ret) of the Peruvian Air

He had two pages of an official message about it. It
said that he had fired on the UFO without results, and I

of the Japanese Airline Flight, JAL 1628, that had been
paced by a UFO for some thirty minutes over Alaska.
Callahan had all the records, including radar tracks of
the UFOs and a story of sharing the information at a
White House sponsored meeting where both scientists
and members of the CIA were present. When the meeting was over, Callahan was told by the CIA that this had
never happened and they, the CIA, had never been
there.
Friday afternoon was a wrap-up with nearly everyone on the panel, including Canadian Paul Hellyer and
Steve Bassett and all the former national politicians
making a few political points. Sometimes they ranged
far afield, including a discussion into who had made
sure that the Pentagon Papers made it into the public
record some forty or more years ago. With the hearing
formerly closed, the participants scattered, returning
home.
Before the hearing began there were those who
criticized it as either some sort of circus or just another
useless gesture on the part of the UFO community. But
most of the press coverage was neutralif not positivewhich was a step up. There were newspapers that
featured the two people who showed up with leather
headbands and crystals, but I didnt see them. Another
newspaper featured people with green paint on their
faces, but the picture wasnt of anyone at the hearing
and was taken somewhere else. Without a caption to
identify the source this is just another example of use
of misrepresentation and ridicule, as found in the press.
Not exactly the height of journalist excellence.

I am here to suggest an explanation that has, to my

knowledge, never been previously offered: UFO contact. I base this on a fairly rigorous study of UFO interaction with humans and a listeners fascination with Bob
Dylan that I began as a 12-year-old in 1970.
As a reader of UFO Magazine, you are most likely
already familiar with what has come to be called the
standard abduction scenario, but lets summarize it anyway and look at what typically happens. A person will
often be asleep and suddenly awake feeling paralyzed
and having difficulty breathing. Then a blue beam of
light will appear to shine down into their room from nowhere. The blue beam of light floats the person off the
bed, through the unopened window, and into a waiting
craft outside.
The most consistently reported description of
what these aliens look like is as follows: gray-skinned
creatures who are from two and a half to four-feet tall
with oversized embryo-like heads and large, black,
almond-shaped eyes. These humanoid creatures, called
Grays by most researchers in the field, then place the
subject on something like an operating table and begin
to perform various medical tests and procedures. The
ultimate purpose of those medical examinations is still
basically unknown, but is often thought to be for the
purpose of breeding experiments designed to create a
hybrid race of half-human, half-alien creatures.

here have been innumerable attempts to see

past the artistic guise of Bob Dylans lyrics and poetry
to what underlies his genius. What is the actual creative
process that results in Dylans lyrical outpouring? What
is the bedrock of inspiration that he seems to have
drawn on so effortlessly for what is now fifty years?
Contents
I know this may offend some of you unfamiliar with

the abduction stories, but the alien breeding experiments often call for the removal of ova from female
subjects and sperm from male subjects, which are then
blended accordingly with their alien counterparts. It
has been stated more than once by these Grays that
their genetic material is compatible with that of human
beings.
June 2013
aspects of Dylans body of work is obviously his social

conscience, his concern for all human beings and their
right to various personal and political freedoms, as well
as a very healthy dose of the fear of God, which manifests itself as something like an Old Testament prophets sense of reverent social criticism.
Here again, Dylan has something in common with a
UFO experiencer. Everyone from the late Harvard psychiatrist John E. Mack, whose abduction research created enemies among his fellow academics, to Whitley
Strieber, the author of Communion: A True Story (William Morrow & Co., 1987) and its many sequels, reports
that in the aftermath of the abduction experience a
person is awakened in new ways to certain social issues.
This change in worldview brings with it a huge upsurge
in interest in subjects like nuclear warfare and the environmental decline of the world. A deeper concern for
the planet and their fellow man than they have ever felt
begins to take hold of them.
So, what about Dylan? Well, when I first heard the

song 10,000 Men from the Under A Red Sky album,
I was struck by the appropriateness of the line 10,000
women in my room, Spilling my buttermilk, Sweeping
it up with a broom. Using buttermilk as euphemism,
Dylan gives us a fairly straightforward account of a
sperm sample being taken. Even the female nature of
his alien attending physicians squares with many other
UFO abduction accounts in which human subjects are
matched with aliens of the opposite sex.
I will discuss more allusions along those lines later,
UFO Magazine
but another point to consider is that a UFO abduction experience is often not consciously remembered.
An abductee is typically left with only a memory of a
block of missing time, sometimes hours, that they cant
account for. There is another phenomenon that sometimes happens called a screen memory or cover story,
in which a more acceptable memory is inserted by the
aliens to block out what is the usually traumatic experience that has just taken place. This is what many UFO
researchers feel is a merciful amnesia.
But back to Dylan. One of the most important
Contents
Abductees are often shown a holographic image of

the world on fire, which imprints on them permanently
an apocalyptic sense of the quickly approaching future
that tends to create within them an increased spirituality and implants the notion of unselfish devotion to their
fellow man. Whether this change is intended by the
aliens or is simply a common side effect of the abduction memories stored in the unconscious mind is still
not known at this point.
Is this a possible explanation for Dylans extremely
moralistic social and political stance and his dire warnings, especially in his born-again Christian phase, of
doom through decadence and unrestrained wickedness? Just like You dont need a weatherman to tell
which way the wind blows, you dont need a UFO to
tell you the worlds in an evil mess. But my argument

00 The farmers and the

businessmen, they all did decide,
To show you where the dead
angels are that they used to

Although those lines date from 1966, Sad-Eyed
Lady Of The Lowlands, it seems a fairly good summation of the Roswell Incident in which a New Mexico
farmer-rancher named Mack Brazel reported finding
a crashed disc with the bodies of dead aliens strewn
nearby. The dead angels were subsequently covered
up by the military and the whole incident was said to
consist of nothing more than the downed remains of a
weather balloon.
remains that there are a great many allusions in Dylans

lyrics to experiences he has in common with UFO contactees.
Earlier I talked about missing time and screen
memories, the two methods the aliens use to block a
persons memory after an abduction is completed and
the subject is safely returned to the bedroom, automobile, or whatever. It has been demonstrated by more
than one researcher that a person can have multiple
UFO encounters over a lifetime and yet have no conscious memory at all of either ships or aliens. All that is
UFO Magazine
left behind is a confusing jumble of memories stored in

the unconscious mind. And perhaps a nagging feeling
that something is wrong. Perhaps Dylan doesnt discuss
UFOs overtly because his waking memory retains no
knowledge of his experiences.

Mercy. When a UFO is conveniently explained away by

Dylans unconscious mind was somehow directed

to write a neat little summary of the incident in rhyme
nearly 13 years before the public knew anything about
it. Perhaps youve heard of the late New Mexico Congressman Steve Schiffs attempts to get records of the
incident declassified by the Department of Defense.
Some part of Dylan knew the truth even when some
members of the government remained shut out.
The experience Dylan had in late 1978 or early 1979
in which he was alone in his house and experienced
a presence that was rattling his windows and trying
to communicate was also a possible incidence of UFO
contact. Dylan interpreted what happened as a message from Jesus Christ that he should convert officially
to Christianity, which he did.
June 2013
an intended joke, but it may yet prove to be the tip of

an iceberg buried deeply in the nearly infinitely complex unconscious memory of Dylan. And if this is true of
Dylan, he is most certainly not alone.
A poll conducted in 1992 by the Roper Organization in cooperation with established UFO researchers
like the late Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs asked a
few questions designed to indicate whether a person
had been abducted without ever realizing it. The questions dealt with certain kinds of experiences that are
commonly remembered after an abduction in spite of
the amnesia imposed by the aliens themselves.
The results of the poll demonstrated that a tiny minority of the population of the United States, around 5
million people, reported having had these experiences.
However, on another scale, that tiny minority was also
consistently more socially and politically active than the
average nonabductee respondent. There is therefore at
least a tenuous connection between the UFO abduction
experience and a persons waking need to be of service
to mankind in social and political ways. The association
with Dylans body of work should be obvious.
The history of UFOs and their contact with mankind

has been interpreted as a religious experience goes
back at least six-thousand years to ancient Sumeria and
arguably even further. Many of the miracles recounted
in the Gospels such as the Transfiguration, Resurrection and Ascension have been linked to UFOs, which
are called throughout the Bible the clouds of Heaven. The healing miracles Christ is thought to have
performed are similar in many ways to comparable
effects in the wake of an abduction. Often a subject is
surprised to see some ailment has been mysteriously
cured overnight.
UFO Magazine
In fact, the Bible is sometimes called the worlds

greatest book of ufology because many of the miracles described by the ancient Hebrew writers have been
duplicated in the modern era by UFOs. Dylans immersion in the Bible from his childhood on is certainly no
coincidence in this context.
Did Dylan ever directly comment on UFOs? In Robert Sheltons biography of Dylan, No Direction Home,
Dylan is quoted as saying: The 60s was a lot like a
UFO landing. A lot of people heard about it, but very
few actually saw it. His reference is made in passing as

Back to some lyrics. As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes That line is from Like A Rolling

David Jacobs, the UFO researcher who brought a new
psychological depth to the study of alien abductions,
discusses in his book Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of
UFO Abductions (Simon & Schuster, 1992) the various
effects the Grays large black almond-shaped eyes have
on people. Everything from interrogation of the subject to a warm and peaceful anesthetic-like effect can
be attributed to staring into the gray aliens eyes. The

actually saying. The magic ship is a swirling one, like a

flying saucers rotating motion. His senses have been
stripped, meaning he is disoriented and cant rely on
his senses to guide him through the experience. His
hands cant feel to grip, a loss of motor control over
his own body. His toes being too numb to step again
expresses his inability to control his movements, and
perhaps also points to a need to flee the experience
which has made him so helpless.
Later in 1967 while he was recuperating from injuries he had suffered in a motorcycle accident the year
before, Dylan wrote the songs that would only see the
light of day in 1975 as The Basement Tapes after nearly
a decade of popular bootlegging.
In a song from that period, called Lo and Behold,
Dylan sings:
00 Now, I come in on a Ferris

How about 1965s Mr. Tambourine Man, another
of Dylans best known songs? He sings:
UFO Magazine
00 Take me on a trip
upon your magic swirling ship,
My senses have been stripped,
My hands cant feel to grip, My
toes too numb to step.
This is a beautiful example of the folk and blues

tradition of male braggadocio, a boasting in rhyme
and music. I think this might be an attempt by Dylans
unconscious mind at a self-empowerment in which he
hopes to raise himself to the level of control wielded by
his abductors. He comes in on a Ferris wheel, for example. UFOs have been compared to wheels as far back
as the famous verses by the prophet Ezekiel of a wheel
within a wheel. He calls himself slick, or unashamed

It is more than apparent that some kind of visitation
is talking place here, from which the poet draws comfort at a moment of desperation. For some abductees,
a bond of affection develops which they direct toward
the aliens, with a few even voicing the complaint that
they miss the aliens when theyre gone. The singer is
saying that theyre never really gone in that protective
sense of their presence.

and amaze with apparently supernatural powers.
In any case, the incomprehensible powers of his abductors are somehow now his own in a childlike act of
self-appropriation. I can do it too, so there! he seems
to be saying.
Dylan is not the only rock-music luminary to show
signs of abduction and UFO contact in his lyrics. A
similar strong case can be made for Canadian poet and
songwriter Leonard Cohen. Like Dylan, Cohen comes

00 When I left they were

sleeping, I hope you run into them
soon. Dont turn on the lights,
You can read their address by
the moon.
The first two lines here look like an attempt at
self-empowerment similar to what Dylan wrote in Lo
and Behold. Cohen says they were sleeping, but its
more typical for the aliens to leave behind their abductee sleeping in his bed when the experience is over. The
part about reading their address by the moon plays
on the moon as a feminine archetype and there is even
a loose association with the notion of the Sisters of
Mercy coming from outer space.
00 They lay down beside me,

I made my confession to them.

I touched the dew on their hem.

There is a sexual component to these lines that
has led some interpreters to believe that the Sisters of
Mercy are prostitutes, but it is more likely a reference
to the bond of affection mentioned earlier, which, given
that the visitation is from alien females, it may describe
a sexual experience that is another aspect of the aliens
genetic and medical procedures.
The fourth and final verse nails it.
This and other lines in the song seem to express an

idea of the more the merrier, a kind of longing to share
the experience with others, a belief that the experience is positive, loving, and uplifting and that everyone
should have it. Granted, thats not how every abductee
feels about whats happening to him or her. But to abductees of a certain stripe, again, there are feelings of
love being shared between them and the aliens.
Some abduction researchers compare those loving
feelings to what happened to Patty Hearst in 1975. You

command even his own body, choice has been eliminated for the singer as well.
The repeated refrain of Chest Fever goes like this:

I feel the freeze down in my knees,
But just before she leaves, she
receives.
The singer expresses a total and complete mental
disorientation as well as repeating the idea of physical helplessness. What the female receives before she
leaves is an open question, perhaps inserted just for the
need of another rhyme? In the songs bridge, the lyrics
are:
may recall that the heiress was kidnapped by left-wing

radicals and over time began to identify with her captors and even boasted of having joined them in robbing
a bank. In Leonard Cohens case, however, the lyrics
seem to imply a mature and genuine bond.
Yet another song from the 1960s seems extremely
relevant and again deals with the notion of a nocturnal female visitor and her overwhelming effects on the
songwriter. Chest Fever, by the group The Band, is
generally credited to guitarist Robbie Robertson, although there are various versions among the group of
UFO Magazine
just who wrote what.

I know shes a tracker, the song begins. They say
shes a chooser, but I just cant refuse her.
From the outset, the female is called a chooser
that the singer cant refuse. Often during an abduction
experience, the gray alien will tell the abductee that he
or she is a chosen one, which has been interpreted in
many ways and does not always come as a comforting
thought. The fact that the singer cant refuse her is an
expression of helplessness, a total absence of will on
Contents
00 Its long, long when shes

gone, I get weary holding on, Now
Im coldly fading fast, I dont
think Im going to last very much
longer.
In spite of the terror and paralysis, the singer complains of missing the alien female when shes gone, as
with Leonard Cohens Sisters of Mercy. Again, the
bond of love and affection developed over time as part
of the experience seems stronger than the fearful, traumatic aspects.
Im like a viper in shock, the lyric continues, with
June 2013
my eyes on the clock. The theme of disorientation

and shock recurs, and the eyes on the clock line seems
to imply that the singer is experiencing the visitation
consciously to a certain extent and can see parts of
the bedroom in a waking state, such as a clock on the
nightstand.
When I chose to write about Chest Fever, I decided I needed to verify the lyrics, since theyre not
totally intelligible on the original recording. So I did
a little surfing with Google and discovered there are
varying versions of the lyrics, which told me that others
also had a hard time understanding the exact words in
certain places. For the sake of this article, I have relied
on parts of the lyrics that are agreed upon from source
to source.
In a Wikipedia entry about the song, lyricist Robbie
Robertson is quoted as saying that the lyrics to Chest
Fever were nonsensical, and had originally been
intended to fill up space while the musical tracks were
being recorded.
Im not sure that I know the words to Chest Fever, he said. Im not even so sure there ARE words to
Chest Fever.
intended to call his book, which was Body Pain. We

should all be grateful a cooler and more poetic head
prevailed.
this article. Could a select group of lyricists somehow

be channeling for an alien muse? Is the human mind a
kind of medium for alien artists to work in?
There is an obvious correlation between Chest

Fever and Body Pain, both three-syllable expressions of extreme, even traumatizing physical stress. But
the contrasts between light and dark in alien abduction
and the emotional ambivalence that so often accompanies the experiencers attempts to make sense of what
has happened go far beyond simple discomforts of the
body. There is a spiritual depth to abduction, a brief
glimpse into a literal technicolor Oz that stands far outside our proverbial black-and-white Kansas home that
we have not even begun to explore.
It is of course impossible to know any of that for

certain, but at least were being entertained while we
wait for the final truth of the UFO phenomenon to
emerge. UFO
Admittedly, youd likely have to be born sometime

within the borders of the Baby Boom to have a real
interest in Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and The Band.
Although it is said that artists from that timeframe of
the 1960s and 70s still attract new fans all the time, this
article will most likely be relevant only to people who
can remember that era of rock and roll firsthand and
without needing a parent to guide them to it.
Is this foggy-minded forgetfulness another example

of the merciful amnesia mentioned earlier? Does Robertson feel some kind of need to bury the experience
or experiences that inspired Chest Fever into some
locked vault hidden in his brain?
However, Im sure this tendency of UFO contact

to inspire musical artists continues to this day and that
younger readers can find their own lyrical connections
in the more current crop of rock stars, although I doubt
you would find much on the subject in hip hop or
death-metal lyrics. But that could just be my old-fogy
prejudice rearing its ugly head, right?
If that is the case, then Robertson is certainly not

alone. I was reminded of Whitley Striebers title for
his first book on his abduction experiences, Communion, which he said he received from a gray alien who
seemed to have overheard what Strieber originally
Just as the skilled use of hypnotic regression pulls

up abduction memories from the unconscious mind,
it is that same unconscious mind that is the probable
source of lyrical inspiration, especially for the higher
level of lyrical poetry written by the artists discussed in

his video was taken on October 13, 2010 in

Chelsea, NYC at 3 p.m. at the corner of 23rd and 8th. I
had to slow the video down because the sighting
lasted only a few seconds. I wanted you to be able
to see the orb/disc shaped object. Sorry the video is low quality, had to make it small enough to

I noticed that it was almost identical to a video

I was a witness to the NYC UFO sighting back

on 10-13-10. I was able to video the event, I have
been researching trying to find out what it was that
i witnessed. I have been searching the internet for
information and video or pictures other people
took. The other day i was watching UFO Hunters-Invasion Illinois, and there was a video of taken

screen captures of both videos. As you see the sighting
over NYC was not balloons. If you would like to ask me
questions about the NYC sighting please let me know.
I received this response from Peter Robbins on
10/7/12:
Nice one! No matter how many years I have been
involved in this area of study I never cease to be
amazed by what people observe and film in the skies
above, expecially when they are above my hometown.
My professional opinion is, I don't know what the heck
it was ;-} but give its organic maneuvers and seemingly
anomalous structure, yes, you might well want to seek
out a professional to analyze it for you.
I suggest you consider forwarding the account,
stills and footage to my friend and colleague, Dr. Bruce
Maccabee, a retired optical physicist who did analysis
for the Navy for many years and is perhaps ufology's
most respected practioner of this science. Bruce is re-
UFO Magazine
He then suggested that i send the footage to Bruce

Maccabee.
The other day i sent Mr. Maccabee a screen capture

from the footage that i was able to enhance so you can
see better and also explained what the craft was doing,
he sent a reply back within an hour saying:
Only a helicopter or Harrier (VTOL) can go straight
up. These are not triangular. The dynamics of the
sighting suggests "off world craft."
What do you mean "more of these during the sighting?" There were numerous triangles but pix of only
one?
Here is a description of what happened that day,
attached is what Dr. Maccabee wrote back
On October 13, 2010 at 2:00 pm , (The sky was very
clear no clouds) There were 50 - 60 people standing
at the corner of 23rd and 8th in Chelsea, NYC looking
up and pointing ( They were saying they see a UFO),
and news trucks from ABC news 7 and NY1 were there
I then sent the video via

email to Dr. Maccabee and
he got back to me within an
hour saying:
Thanks for sending. I
don't know what you saw
but the video image
looks as if it might
have been a triangle object
with either a bright light
or a sun glint from one
corner....and an occasional,
weaker, glint on another
corner.

even though all planes were

diverted in the area due to
a gas leak at the regional
air traffic control center in
Westbury, New York that
controls the three major
airports. Newark Liberty, LaQuardia, and John
F. Kennedy Airport were
also. The main object was very big, and it was high up,
at least 40,000 feet and stationary. It faded in and out
a few times. I was unable to get it on my video camera,
so I stood around a bit then started to walk north on
8th. As I was walking I looked up to the northeast and
noticed what look like an orb. It was a highly polished
aluminum color, and it disappeared and reappeared a
few times.
The object was flying very fast, up and down, side
to side, and circling around, and then it stopped once
and hovered for around 3-5 seconds. It then took off
at a high rate of speed. It made no sound. As the orb
dimmed, its color changed to a dark grey. I noticed
it looked like a disc. The disc had two cylider-shaped
objects on each side, and when it would move the cylinders looked like they were rotating in the direction it
was going.
During the sighting there were people saying that
they saw two military jets fly over at a high altitude,

The images are screens captured from video. The
darker one I enhanced so you can see it better.
I also wanted to share
this link showing what seems
to be a military jet (F-16?)
flying over Chelsea during
the UFO sight back on 1013-10. I heard people talking
that there was a jet spotted
so I did a little searching
and found this video. When
you watch the video look at
the lower right corner you
will see a black object move
across the screen at a high
rate of speed, you can hear
people saying its a military
jet. UFO

Most all religions are based upon a bedrock of lies.

Christianity was invented by Emperor Constantine , for political purposes, based upon
the myth of Mithra, a Persian savior god born on December 25 , son of a virgin. Mithra
performed miracles and was later crucified. Pope Leo X (died 1521) called Christ a Fable.
Later Pope Paul III expressed similar sentiments. v

Moses is based on the Sumerian life and legends of Sargon I, King of Akkad, set in a
basket of rushes and cast into the river. Egyptians kept exhausting hieroglyphic records.
There is a complete absence of any record of Moses leading over 600,000 men, women and
children away from Pharaohs army.
Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, was convicted in a court of Law of being an
impostor, today a fraud, con man, in 1826. He wrote the Book of Mormon soon after.
