reports of a

in

He

He
said
that
the
number
of
people
who
cWmed to
have
seen satnething this time must
prove that it
is
genuine. He
believes
the
Louth
area is
going
through a
similar perience to that
in
Wales
in the
19705.
That
experience - the
’Welsh
Triangle’ - lasted
for
about
seven
months. He
added:

You have

Mr Gregory, of
Mablethorpe,
has seen four
UFOs since April:
. A very bright
glowing
ball about the size of a
football outside one of
his
up5tawindows for
about four
seconds at 2.3Oam on Aprit16.
. a
silver
ball high in the sky and bave11ing very
slowly
at
8.1Spm
on May 31.
. a
red glowing
object
with a
mass of
shim-
mering lights at
its
centre 812.4Sam
on
June 21.
. three
glowing
ball-shaped
objects
flying
in
formation over
the sea for 15
seconds at
3.5Oam
OIl
October 19.
’
I!we and
children saw a
large red ball in
the sky over
North
Somercotes while
travelling
in a
car on October 16.
The
June
21
experience
made
a
deep
impression
on
him.
He
said:
..It hung
motionless
in
the
night
sky
high
above
the
roof
tops
of
the
houses opposite.
It
hovered
silently
in
the
grey
black
summer
sky,
tbe
light
in its
middle
gently
undulating,
changing
.
from
yellow
to
gold
and back
to
yellow
again.
"I
was
totally overpowered
by
the sheer
bril-
liance
that
emanated from it.
To
me,
the
shape
resembled
that of a
giant
stingny
floating
deli-
cately
in
the
ocean - not
at
an
menacing,
[
thought. "Its
whole
appearance gave
me the
impression
that it
was some wooderfu1living
creature - but
not from our world
As far as I
could tell, it
was
between 20 and 30ft in
length.
’There was no def-
inite
outline to it
but I’m
sure it
wasIl’t solid
as
such. "Although
there was DO
so\md at
all, I
could
feel a
very
powerful vibration
pulsing
through
my
head
and
body aU the time."
He
videoed it
for four
seconds before it
shot
off at
terrific speed,
leaving a
trail of
white
light
behind it.
"My
experience
was so
traumatic
that,
within
the
space of a
few
moments. it
had
dramaca1ly
altered my
beliefs
on
existence forever,"
be
said.
It
was
unlike his
previous psychic
encounters.
Mr Gregory
believes
that

are of
PSY’
chic
origin
and that
psychics
are able
to
view
them more
readily.l:Je
believes
that psychic
abil.
ity
is, in most
people, a
latent
thing which
can
develop.

.
"I
am of
the opimon that
they do visit - not
necessarily from
Other
planets
but from
some-
where on our
ownrdfoc
from our own
future.
Scientists are beginning to
rea1ise that time is a
two-way thing."
He
added that, before his April 16
experience.
glasses OIl table tops at his home had
shattered, a
pram turned round for no
apparent reason, there
were hot and cold
spots in the house, and
foot-
steps on
the stairs. People
were seeing
figures in
the house. "My
own belief is that they are not
extra-ter-
restrial.
They
are
some.where
within
our own
earth. They
visit or make
themselves known to
certain people. It is not .
deliberate
thing. People
with a
psychic
facility
can sense them.
"They
leave
smells
"that
some
people
can
sense. They
leave a
SCDSe. Animals often
avoid
an area that a
UFO has visited.. A
person with
extra
sensory perception can
possibly
pick
up
on
these things."
Mr Gregory is

bxpert says they Were not Tucanos
FOTHERBY
man Carl
Benson was
yet anoth-
er person
who saw the
mysterious
UFO near
Louth recently. He was
even more
amazed
because he
used to
work in the
RAF Regiment - and
part of his
duties was
to recognise
aircraft. He saw
three lights
and a triangle
in the
sky as he
was driving
to Little
Grimsby on
the day
dozens of otha
people
report sight-
ings. He
at first
thought the
lights were
aeroplanes
in ght for-
mation
but then
realised they
could not
be aircraft lights.
He did
not hear
anything
and did not
see any
strobe lights.
The lights
were ttavel-
ling in an
east to west
direction
and then
turned
slowly to go
off in a
northerly
direction. As the
objects went
off, the
lights were still
shining at
him, which
would not
be the case
if they
were aircraft
lights. He dismissed claims
that they
might have
been Tucano
aircraft.
"Tucano
don’t fly in
that sort of
tight forma-
tion and I
would defi-
nitely
have heard
Tucanos,
It was
weird," he
said

.
News,. Nov. 18) I had a similar expenence. Watching the night sky
on a sleepless night, I saw a dull red object streak across a completely clear night sky (2.30 a.m.) in a south to north direction.
I believed at first that I had spotted my second meteorite, entering the earth’s atmosphere, of that nif~t to my surprise the object came to a halt, whereupon I jumped up to the window for a better view. Almost above me and the’
row of houses on our street, it began to aimlessly zig-zag across the sky. .
After five-IO seconds it. sped off once more.
I have been in touch with Mrs. Fishlock and she has kindly replied, giving me her own first.hand descrip- tion of the ’metallic’ object and a small sketch.

WHEN a man tells you he has se n a ball of light the size of a Mini, hovering at the bottom of his garden in Otley in the n ddle of the mght, it’s difficult to know what to think. ~ ~ tr Is he susceptible to strange dreams? Has he a vivid imagination? Is he a fibber? None-o( ~ese descrip ons
seems to apply to Nigel Mortimer. He gives every ap. pearance o( being a down-to- e~ chap with a wife, a couple o( kids and a COW1cil Qal in Derry Lane, Menston; someone who, apart Crom an interest in space technology, had never given much ~ought to whal might be going on in the outer atmosphere. That was W1til early one
moming back in 1980 when he was asleep in his bed in Meagill Rise. "I woke up in the’ early hours for. no app;l1’ent reason and when I looked out ol ~e
. bedroom window I saw a ball of light ilt the bottom o( ~
. garden. ..It . WIUI like an orange .phere about the 8ize of . MinJ with a kind ol blue tear-drop shape in the middle."

for a bit, the object Goated olf over the hills towards Menwith Hill, shrank into just a point of lighl then vanished
"It was almost as if ) was in a dream state and when il diaappeared ) (elt a great sense ol emotional loss, as if 50melhing had been taken away from me."
Nigel knew what would hap- pen in the clear light ol day. Everybody, includinghimsell, would think he had dreamed it. "So to make sure I wasn’t still in bed and was dreaming the whole thing, I took an

,
Well, would you believe it?
Jean Endersby pursues a goal wlch can’t be identified
and pul it on the bedside table to prove fd been up," he said. Next moming, Nigel went
off to his job as a castings clerk with Sinclair, the Otley sta onery manufacturers, in- tending to tell his colleagues. But before he could do so, the switchboard operator told him about an experience her mother had had the previous night - she had seen a strange, yellow lighl hovering over the town! Not surprisingly, Nigel’s en-
counter with the unidentified flying object had a profoW1d effect on him. . .
This former Jlkley postman is the sort of person who likes to get to the bottom of things so he started researching into UFOs and other W1explained phenomena. He isa member of the
British UFO Research Associ- ation and Ihe West Yorkshire UFO Research Croup, both of which monitor and record sightings by the public of unexplained phenomena, of which there have, he says, been hundreds in the Wharfe Valley. And the more he delves, the
more he becomes convinced thaI aliens do exist outside the
gina ons of r -makers. Not that he gOBS for the idea
. that all strange sights and sounds are caused by people wilh long, pointed ears decid- ing to have a day . or rather night. out in Wharfedale.
Sometimes Ihere are logical explanations lor the appear.. ance of unusual sights. Shooting stars are commonly mistaken lor UFOs, as are nicks o( the light in certain meteorological conditions. Even Nigel, alter 13 years’ practice, arts he I has made some ’misidentifications’. I
’
But r;:hat of the phenomena which do not have a logical explanation? Nigel has a range of Iheories. Some are more to do with
spiritualism than UFOs, like ~e one about a Viking ruler o CallN Hakon the Good who . was involved in a King Arthur style quest and is responsible for the alleged sightinqs of a ghostly golden sword.
JOutside intelligence’ Or, says Nigel, there could
be whal he calls ’an outside intelligence’ which is either - depending on your point of view - sending a message that 20th-century religions ought to change direction (that doesn’t go down too well with church officials), or trying to pass on its superior technology to us earthlings. More mundanely, the strange
objects seen flying around could be top-secret, super- advanced military aircraft on test flights. Nigel thinks it is highly significant thaI the big orange sphere he saw, took off in. the direction of the American airbase at Menwith Hill. He accepts that there are
sceptics. . 0"1 am quile a rational person
but when you stan talking about UFOs, most people thof little green men and flying saucers so they think you must be some sort of crank or nutcase. .. Fear of the unknown makes
many people back away, he says.
"I find thaI. they either want to know more or Ihey shut you oul of their lives completely," Things could be worse
though. Marriages of ufologists have cracked under the strain. But Nigel’s wife Debbie, while not sharing her husband’s en-
y\
"’".’. ’~.’ .~. ...",,~_1
thusiasm for UFOs, is prepared to tolerate his W1usual hobby.
A Tocimorden policeman who, a few years ago, claimed he had been abducted and: held by aliens for an hour, lost his job. That incidenl was linked to the story of a miner from Tingley who went missing lor a week after popping out for a bag of potatoes; and was [ound dead of a hean attack on a coal tip, also in Todmorden, in circumstances so mysterious that it led urologists to think he too had passed through the hands of aliens.
Nevertheless, Nigel is con. tinuing with his research and, now he is no longer a postman, hopes to make a career out of it. He has spent three years
writing a book, The Circle and the Sword, about local sightings and has started giving lectures. He is keen to hear from
anyone else who has seen unusual phenomena in this area. However, he does wonder
how much interest the general public takes in UFOs.
"If they showed an alien on the television news to prove they exist, I bet most people would react by asking when Eastenders was going to be on,. he said wryly.

By David Gard~er In Brussels
The European Union, which at its last five summits has acknowledged its failure to bring Euro-doings "closer to the citi. zen", is being offered the chance to plug another communications gap - by setting up an EU obser. vatory to watch for unidentified flying objects. The proposal comes from the
energy, research and technology committee of the European Par. liament. which wants to turn Fnlllce’s Sepra space study unit in Toulouse Into a fully nedged Euro.institution, The Italian nuclear physicist
S"IlKI,,’1 (;",,,.1;,,,,- Il;lIh
!’.Ir Tullio Regge, who is respon. sible for producing the commit- tee report, is understood not to believe in the "metaphysics" of UFOs, The committee, however, notes that Sepra has reported 2,300 cases of UFO sightlngs in the past 15 years. Some were hoaxes, some could be explained rationally, but more than two. nUhs could not easily be explained.
A Belgian institution called Sobeps has logged 1,500 sight- ings based on reports to the gen. darmerie, while the Italian air force reported 32 slghtings last year. Some EU officials wonder
whether Europe’s putative abil- ity to communicate with extra- terrestrials would compensate for its inability to reach its own ci tizens. Were the plan really to take
wing, it might further compli- cate Europe’s integration pro- cess. The eventual prospect of intergalactic integration, for instance, might severely tangle controversial Euro-issues such as subsidiarity - whether measures are most effectively taken at local, regional, national. pan- European, international, and HOW. interstellar level. On enlargement, more
parochial officials among the
existing 12 member states are already chary about taking into the Union four new Nordic and alpine countries from the Euro- pean Free Trade Association, referring to them as "Eftans",
It may be argued that It is pre- mature to expect such member states to adjust to the Idea of linking up with Martians so soon after Enans, But the Eurppean Parliament
committee insists that Europe should stop looking Inwards and raise its gaze to new potential neighbours. "The possibility that aliens have established a base in the asteroid belt cannot be ruled out," it says.

Light years apart: ET lIeft) and Jacques Delor,
A NEW idea for spending astronomical amounts of money has been launched from Euro MPs’ mission control.They want the European Union to set up a centre for
moniwring Unidentified Flying Objects. The scheme is the brainchild - or possibly brainstorm - of Italian physicist and MEP Tullio Regge. He l;8.ys the existence of

were suggesting he need look no further than the corridors of Brussels in his search tor ET, the extra terrestrial. Re- siding there is a diminutive being who is otten misunder- stood, sometimes uninLelligl- b~e. but certainly Intelligent. However, while EU commis-

view of the high Euro- salaries, the bill for running a UFO cen tre could be ’astronomical’. The plan is unlikely to get
the go-ahead from the full parliament - MEPs would be wary of spending more of the EU’s over-stretched tunds on such a scheme. And if by any chance It
were approved, neither the commis.5ion nor member gov- ernment.s would be under any obligaLion to act. Fresh accu- sations of wasting taxpayers’ money on such an outlandish - not to mention out-oC-this world - scheme would deter them. As for Britain’s MEPs, they
think it Is aU pie-in-the-sky. Glyn Ford. deputy leader of the Labour group, said: ’Eu- rope has far more down- to-earth problems to deal with than this.’

ANDREW MARsHALL ,.:’./ in Brusul5
FROM EU to ET is a small step in the alphabet, but a gi- ant leap for the European Par- liamcnt. Enending its reach from the minutiae of gas pipe- lines to the vast reacbes of space, the brave men and women of its energy commit- tce yesteniay proposed to set up a European centre for sightings of unidentified fly- ing objects. The UFO has fi. nally taken iu place in the home of the acronym. The Parliament proposes
to g ve the.job of alien-watch- ing to a resc:uch institution in France, as part of its five- year mission to seek out new ways to spend other people’s money, Its ncw building in Brussels might SCn’C 4110 an appropriate home: the locals have dubbed it the FoIJy of the Gods and it bears more than a passing resemblance to Stareet Command. Vanous thcories are lUcked
around by the report. While aliens on neighbouring plan- ets are not regardcd as a pos- sibility, "tbe theory that aliens have cstablished a basc in Ihe asteroid belt cannot be ruled out". Thc report’s rapporteur,
Tullio Regge, an Italian So- cialist, hints darkly at a kind of conspiracy that wants to use the UFO phenomenon. "There are organisations de- termined to manipulate the credulity of the masses for political ends," he adds. Me Regge wrote to all the
air forccs of the EU mcmber 51 ales, though apparcntly only the Italians replied. He also spoke to more than 100 people workg in civil avia- lion, and found only one with a stOl}’ to tell, an Alitalia steward. But the repor1 is es- peciaIJy concerned with a spate of sightiogs in Belgium, which apparently is a mecca for the little green men. The Parliament finds this
dubious, since it maintains a lofty disdain for national in- stitutions, and seems to think alicns should too.

MEPs get to grips with close encounters of the third kind
/J ’I’ I’ ~) II John CMYelln Bnm.eIa
! AN official report was put before MEPs yesterday saying that people should not rule out the theory "that aliens have established a base in the asteroid belt". Europeans were advised by
the report, however. to treat with circumspection the si!:htings of triangular shaped UFOs which appear to have showed up around Li ge. moving at high sPt.’t.>d on the radar scrt.’e of the Belgian air force. The European Parliament,
more often associated with building white elephants than seeing pink ones, is treating seriously the report on unidentified flying objects prepared by Tullj.o Regge, an ItaJian soch ist MElt and em- incnt physicist. He wants the Commission

Patricia Cross, one of the researchers from the psychology depanment of Carleton University in Ottawa, says the increasing fascination in popular culture with "close encounters" prompted them to look for an explaniJtion. The team subjected four !:rOlJpS to
it hatlCry of psychologicil! tl’stS, ;] lid lluiaell thelll iJbuut thcir beliefs in the paranormal and UFOs. One group reported losing time, being abducted or having telepathic cont:1ct with aliens. ̂ sel:ond group hall Jess intense experi- ences, such as seeing unexplained lights on a darJ< night. The other two groups wcre nwde up of people who h;ld never had such stnlllge eKperiences. The test results showed "no support
whatsoever for the hypothesis th.lt UFO reporters arc psycllOlogic.llly distu rbed", the psychologists say in the latest issue of the journal Abnormol Psychology. Nor did they find any significant difference in
the fantasy lives of the four groups. However, the people who reported close encounters were more prone to bclieve in reincarnation, astrology and UFOs. Cross and her colleagues speculate
thm those people who believe in UFOs arc more willing to interpret events that sCLlred them as close encounters than those with less exotic beliefs, Cross thinks that several quite natural phe- nomena may cause people to think they have met ;Jliens. Onc is <1 condition c;IlIcd sleep paralysis, whit:h I:an Ul:cur when deep, dreaming sleep intrudes into the sh;Jllower first stage of sleep. The effect is of feeling awal<e, and sensing a m<1levolent prescnce, but being unablc to move. Cross estimates that between ]0 and 15 per cent of people expcrience this. One of the group who repurted an

A local investigation I team had an exciting Saturday e~enlng when me’mbers -stUoned! themselves near I Wherwell. Towards Monxton they saw an object hovering about 200 feet above the ground and 50 feet in diameter and pulsating bright white and amber lights. The sighting lasted for
about 30 seconds after which similar lights returned every five or six minutes for an hour and then four appeared in a line about 500 yards apart for one minute. F nally, the single light reo appeared.

WHEN I read Mr Gordon Creighton’s latest Icller on UFOs the other week I was, to be frank, sceptical. However, later that evening, looking to the
north over Bushey at appro:’limately 7pm, I saw a very bright light streaking across the sky before apparently descending behind the trees.
II was not a plane as it was travelling too (ast and 100 low.
I dashed through the trees to investigate further bUI, unfortunalely, I hurt my knee when I tripped on a spent!2 rocket case.
I understand several other people in the Watford area saw similar objects that night. - Mr 8. Ansell, HUDlercrombe Gudell5, Willford.

1’3 HOV 1993 57]1m’1.~I~JV Beam us up, Scotty!
WE were relie"ed to read that a re- cent survey ,states you are not neces- sarily mad if you believe in Unidenti- fied Flying Objects. .
A team from a Canadian university gave a battery of psychological tests to mortals who claimed to have seen or even hitched 8 lift in UFOs, and concluded they were just ordinary folk ’with normal imaginations. Tb~ scientists could not say if the sightings were real, but, thank the stars, they were convinced the people were not nutters. Many a dark night, they - and, we
confess, our good selves - have gazed at the heavens, hoping that a particu- larly bright star would materialise into a flying saucer. But, unfortu- nately, we - unlike some of them - have never actually spied or stepped aboard a UFO. Our fascination with the skies is
probably caused by watching too many episodes of ’Star Trek’, a prac- tice now being followed by our two- year-old daughter, who, by the way, has an vexatious habit of referring to USS Enterprise sawbones Dr McCoy as ’M~toy’. - We warn her repeatedly about this
sacrilege. "Listen closely," we caution ..
sternly. "The name is ’McCoy’, okay? And you’re not going to any more late night raves if you persist in calling him’M-toy’." "Uh-huh," she replies obligingly as
if she knows the correct pronuncia- tion all along, looks back to the TV and asks: "\\’here’s M-toy?" Trekkies will.sympathise with our
angst and also share our wish to spot a UFO or even, joy oh joy, get a trip in one. They’re bound to come to Earth
some time, aren’t they? Or have they sneaked in already? Surely no.one (in their right mind) would have the nerve to say they had been aboard a UFO if it wasn’t true?
Personally, we are convinced that one day we’ll, be able to command: "Beam us up Scotty. from our padded eelW

FINANCE clerk Jennifer Jones swears she saw UFO hovering above Bourne End, last Thurs- day night. The 42-year-old, of Wycombe
Lane. Woobum Green, telephoned the Bucks Free Press to ask if others had seen the saucer-shaped craft flying south over her house.
"It was a nying saucer and I am perfectly sane. It was so low and so big and so bright. I saw it for about ten minutes. "The whole thing was brightly-
lit and was either nying very low or it was Oying high and orcoll1ss;1I size." Marlow police said they had not
heard any other reports of visiting aliens. A control tower spokesman at White Waltham Airfield con- finned an airship belongin~ to Richard Branson’s Vir~in LIght- ship Company was nYlng in the area at the time.

meeting said that the main problem lies not with the way the discovery was announced but with the research itself. "If they had foUowed up the press conference with some hard data that would have been different. fm just not convinced they’ve found what they say they’ve found. There was a lot of scepticism about the assays that they used.~

"You’ve got to have a .real sQ’ong stomach before you want to drink what they prescribe, which is up to a litre a day of this decoction," says ’Wllee. The root extract is now available in China in tablet form. Treating alcohol abuse with drugs,
including Antabuse and various anti- depressants, has largely failed in the past. "It’s remarkable that here is a disease caused by a known acrive principle. . . and yet we have no drugs to Q’eat it," says Vallee.

A second criticism is that Hovanessian used so much inhibitor that it could have blocked other reactions that might conceivably be responsible for HI\I’s entry into the cell. Another criticism is that the team worked with mouse cells that had been made to cam the two human receptors, an effect th t lasts only four days.

Sattentau’s laboratory has failed to reo produce Hovanessian’s inhibition using another test. Several other lab0r8rories are rushing to test Hovanessian’s assertions. "We should know through the grapevine in a few weeks whether he’s right or not,~ says one researcher. Some researchers were also incredulous
that a known receptor such as CD26 could have gone unnoticed if it were trUly the door through which HN enters. "Some of the best cloning groups have been trying for years to find a second receptor. Why the hell has somebody not found this before?" asked one researcher. Even if the French tearn has found a co-
receptor for HIv, the claims that this will open up new strategies for vaccine develop- ment do not make much sense to many other researchers. One problem is that CD26 is an enzyme involved in normal cell metabolism. Inhibiting its activity could have serious consequences beyond blocking the entry of HIv. Another obstacle is the supposed location of the receptor-in a region known for being Hpoorly accessible to antibody probing". According to one researcher, "annbodies to this region have already been made, and they don’t bind".

that those people who believe in UFOs are more willing to interpret events that scared them as close encounters than those with less exotic beliefs. Cross thinks that several quite natural phe- nomena may cause people to think they have met aliens. One Is a condition called sleep paralysis, which can occur when deep, dreaming sleep intrudes into the shallower first stage of sleep. The effect is of feeling awake, and sensing a malevolent presence, but being unable to move. Cross estimates that between 10 and 15 per cent of people experience this. One of the group who reponed an
intense experience explained that he lay on his stomach and dozed oft. "The next t:hfug I felt was some presence trying to get inside my brain. I couldn’t open my eyes or move . . . [ wanted to escape . . . I couldn’t open my mouth to scream.. I’m sure I was wide awake, but I was entirely paralysed." Helen GIIY....n

PEOPLE who report encounters with aliens are no less intelligent, no more fantasy prone and no more likely to suf- fer from mental disorders than the rest of us, attOrding to Canadian scientists. Patricia Cross, one of the researchers from the psychology department of Carleton University in Ottawa, says the Increasing fascination in popular culture with "close encounters" prompted them to look for an explanation. The team subjected four groups to
a battery of psychological tests, and quizzed them about their beliefs in the paranormal and UFOs. One group reported losing time, being abducted or having telepathic contact with aliens. A second group had less intense experi- ences, such as seeing unexplained lights on a dark night. The other two groups were made up of people who had never had such strange experiences. The test results showed "no support
whatsoever for the hypothesis that VPO reporters are psychologically disturbed", the psychologists say in the latest issue of the journal Abnonnal PsycJwlogy. Nor did they find any s\gnificant difference in

An Orthodox VoiceUFO Abductions and the End of Innocence
THE FIRST UFO contactee I met was a young lad from a poor Protestant family in Northern Ireland, named Ivor Brown. One evening he was walking along a dark country road towards a dance-hall. when he saw in front of him an oval-shaped object. Some creatures carpe out of it and took him inside, where he was seduced or whatever you call it by two strange but attractive females. Somehow Ivor got in touch with Desmond Leslie, Lhe author of the very first UFO book, w o took me to meet rum. We were inexperienced at that time. so
were rather disconcerted by Ivor Brown. Our main concern wm; whelher or nol he was lying, and our ideas on how to tell a liar from an honest man were unimagina- lively conventionLl!. We had hoped to find the type of reliable witness that appeals to lawyers, firm-eyed and rational-minded. That was not Ivor Brown.’ He was ner- vous, impressionable, uneducated and prone to symptoms which are familiar to psychiatrists. Ever since his experience he
I had maintained psychic contact with his abductors and knew when they were near his house. His sensitivity spread to the rest of the family. Their minds and habits were changed, and they left their home to go on psychically guided travels. The last I saw of Ivor was when he passed through London, with old Mr Brown and a younger brother. on their way to visit the grave of Matthew Hopkins. the fanatical witch-finder of 17th-century Suffolk.
There is now a vast literature on the suhject of ’UFO abductions’ - the modern folklore term for the kind of experience described by Ivor Brown. A lurge and growing number of similar encounters are reported at] over the world, particularly in America. Opinions are divided about their meaning. Some say they they are to do with extra-terrestrial beings, while oth- ers believe they have a psychological ori- gin. My own persuasion is that the sensi-
ble approach to the phenomenon of UFO abductees is by comp Jfing it with past records - the records of folklore.
In any regional account of British folk- lore one can find stories about people who have been abducted by unworldly crea- tures, conventionally identified as fairies. The details in such cases are infinitely var- ied, but one detail is always the same. In every account of an abduction, whether by fairies, demons or UFO-creatures, the abductee is mentally changed and acquires a new. spiritual perception. The results are not always of obvious benefit - ubJuclees arc likely 10 become lonely, melancholy. introspective. Some are per- suaded that they have gone mad. and there are always a few who think that God or the Venusians haw chosen them to reform mankind.
In certain cases, however, a person who has undergone the abduction experience is awakened to life and gains the level of understanding which. in ancient and tribal societies, was induced by a ritual initiation.
I now know that Ivor Brown was telling the’truth, that he had a genuine, traumatic experience and that he natural- ly described it in modern, space-age imagery rather than, as he would have done a generation or so earlier, in terms of demons and fair es. The actual cause of that experience is a mystery which. I feel sure. will never finally be explained. Yet it has to be accepted as a real. effec- tive phenomenon. To any sympathetic reader, who has the slightest idea what I am driving at, I offer for contemplation the following suggestcd connections: vio- lation of innocence by ’UFO abductors’; by rumoured covens of ’cult ritualists’; by tribal elders in the course of their initia- tion of adolescents. These are terrible things to undergo. but the victim may find certain compensations. such as maturity and a finer sensibility. JOHN MICHELL

A UFO was spott d over Langold last week by a woman driving home from work. The shocked woman-who
does not want to be named-is ~onvincedthat the ~yste~ object 10 the sky was an urndeqtified fly- ing object. .
; . And other sightings have been
reported as far away as Aston,.. , Harthill and HarworIh. The woman was driving along
Doncaster Road when she saw the craft,
,Lights"It was a circular shape and
had green and white lights on it," she said.
It was travelling very fast, and the woman believes it could have just taken off when she saw it. The incident happened last
Monday when the woman was driving through Langcild from Doncaster, on her way to Carlton.
"It lit up qu.ite a bit of the sky and I’m sure somebody else must have seen it," she said. She added that the sky was also
filled with orange flashes of light- ning.
"This is, the first time I have . ever seen anything like this," she said. . . _-’ . ~

oking , to ", e skies I WAS PLEASEI? to see your UFO article in this week’s Worksop Guardian (’UFO is seen atLangold’ Guardian 220d October). My husband first saw the
UFO from our home at about 7.20pm on Friday 8th October. We watched it rotating in one position through binoculars for abOut 40 minutes. The picture you published
was actually tne base of the object. It was bell-shaped with flashing lights, not on1y on the base but all the way up the body. Before it departed the sky was filled with orange ’sheet lightning’ . Since then we have seen the
object on four other nights at about the same time. My husband has tried to
video the UFO but unfortunate- ly it has bI..’Cn 100 dark. We have never seen anything
like it before, but now we will keep looking skyward.

FO spotters get a clean bill or health PEOPLE who report encounters with aliens are no less intelligent, no more fantasy prone and no more likely to suf. fer from mental disorders than the rest of us, according to Canadian scientists. Patricia Cross, one of the researchers from the psychology department of Carleton University in Ottawa, says the increasing fascination in popular culture with "dose encounters" prompted them to look for an explanation. The team subjected tour groups to
a battery of psychological tests, and quizzed them about their beliefs in the paranormal and UFOs. One group reported losing time, being abducted or having telepathic COnl:1ct with aliens. A second group had less intense experi- ences, such as seeing unexplained lights on a dark night. The other two groups were made up of people who had never had such strange experiences. The (cst resulls showed "no support
whatsoever for the hypothesis that UFO reporters are psychologically disturbed", the psychologists say in the latest issue of the journal Abnormal Psychology. Nor did they find any significant difference in
the fantasy lives of the four groups. However, the people who reported close encounters were more prone to believe in reincarnation, nstro!o!,’Y and UFOs. Cross and her colleagues speculate
that those people who believe in UFOs are more willing to interpret events that scared them as close encounters than those with less exotic beliefs. Cross thinks that several quite natura! phe- nomena may cause people to think they have met aliens. One is a condition called sleep paralysis, which can occur when deep, dreaming sleep intrudes into the shallower first stage of sleep. The effect is of feeling awake, and sensing a mnlevolent presence, but being unable to move. Cross eslim.lles that between 10 and 15 per cent of people experience this. One of the group who reported an
intense experience explained that he lay on his stomach and dozed off. "The next thing I felt was some presence trying to get inside my brain. 1 couldn’t open my eyes or move. . . I wanted to escape. . .1 couldn’t open my mouth to scream. I’m sure 1 was wide awake, but I was entirely paralysed." Helen Gavaghan

e MUFON UFO JOURNAL IlkSOVIET UFO SECRETS
The breakup of the former Soviet Union opens up a hidden vault of Iran Curtain UFO files.
A Special Exclusive Report by Bryan Gresh
No meeting was ever complete without food. Whether tea and "special occasion" cookies offered by a government biologist who stud-
ies reported UFO landing sites, or the homemade cab- bage pie served by a retired Red Army colonel who ran an unprecedented ten year study of UFOs in the former Soviet Union, we never len an interview hun. gry. Our Russian hosts were warm, sincere, friendly and, despite fixed incomes that amounted to liuk more than 25 or 30 US dollars a month, happy to share a meal with their American visitors. They also shared with us the secrets of decades of slUdy into the UFO phenomenon in the vast Soviet empire.
During our IO-day Russian stay in March of this year, colleague George Knapp and I met, and conduct- ed lengthy interviews with, a previously hidden eche- lon of researchers and scientists, dedicated profession- als who had pursued their interest in UFOs during Ihe long, dark reign of the Communists. Their t ndings were not known to the outside world-until now. Among our contacts: One of the a.rchitects of the Russian "Star Wars" program who emphatically claims the exchange of information between alicns .Inu hUlllans was i,H.:orpuraleu in Russian "bealll weapon" technology; a Moscow professor who has spcnt 30 ycars studying reponed UFO landing sites. including many in and around Moscow; a Russi.1Il sci- entist with t rst-hand knowkdge of the reponed crash or a uro nC;lr Roswell. New Mexico in 1947; a quiet. shadowy figure who he:uJs thl: ongoing Ministry of l),.;fl..’I1:->’: studics inlO UFOs; ;md .111 alllhor ilnd SL’il..’I1’ tist who becam , in esse l1l:e , a non-person for talking publicly about the UFO phenomenon. The trip to Russia took seven monlhs 10 set up and
was arranged by our man in Moscow, Nikolai Kapranov. Kapranov is a Russian physicist who served as Security Advisor to the Soviet Parliament. We met Kapranov during a lecture lOur of the United States. The UFO subject, it seems, had been talked about for years among Kapranov’s circle of fricnds and associates, including scientists, military officers and KGB operatives. We set Kapmnov lip in Moscow with an ofl!:e and a s:llary anu asked him to see whal hard information he could tind. What we had hoped, as odd as it sOllnds, was 10

ll1:!tion under the nation:!l security blanket, maybe the Russians had been doing the same. We at! know how little our government has made public 0/1 the subject, but this was a new day in Russia. The new freedoms the Russians were experiencing might extend to the subject of UFOs. Maybe the veil of secrecy would be lifted, if only to offer a peek. But it wasn’t going 10 be easy.
When we stepped off the plane at Moscow’s airport on that bone-chilling. late winter evening, the New Russia’s ongoing political turmoil was as much on our minds as the UFO rcscan:h we had come 10 do. The emerging democracy in this post-Communist era had spawned tension and upheaval. During our stay, loud, angry demonstrations were a daily occurrence. It seemed as if with each passing day, Russian President Boris Yehs n was that much closer to being ousted. On our last day in Moscow, the Russian Parliament was mceting to consider impeachment (a process which. unlike in the United Slates, <.:auld t.lke all of five minutes). Russian Army tanks rolled through the streets, trucks filled with troops convoyed near Red Square. Despite not knowing how, or when, our visit would end, Ihc wIndow of oppol1unity was open-and the lure was too great.
Stories on UFOs from inside the Soviet Union have t hcred out for ye:!rs. Thanks 10 the work of Dr. Rich.lrd Haincs. Jacqucs Vallee. Bruce Maccabee.
Paul SlOnchill and others, solid indications have sur- !"al..’cd III’ lon~-!’:l"Ill, largc s!:a!c UFO sludies. Our goal W.IS to lalk, fa!:e to f:Jce, with those who wcre in the know, knowledge<Jble individuals who had not been quoted in the Western press before, or even the Russian press for that matter. For the record, we have nothing against the Russian ufologists who are already known in the West. We were simply .Iooking for a new layer of information and, hopefully,.a treasure trove of UFO secrets.
.
One of the bigger gems was Boris Sokolov, a retired Russian colonel from a distinguished military family. Sokolov ran an unprecedented study, lhe likes of which, he is undoubtcdly correct in saying, will never be repeated. "For 10 years," Sokotov says, "the entire Soviet Union became one gigantic UFO listen- i ng post."
The year was 19!W. An amazing order came down from the Ministry of Defense: Every military unit in the vast Soviet empire was to report any and all UFO sightings. Pilots, soldiers and sailors were ordered to

Though a modest man, Sokolov admits no one else in the former Soviet Union has more information on UFOs than himself. As for the aging colonel, he is quite certain the UFO phenomenon is for real, and is convinced we will someday find the physical evidence to prove it. "Our world is not unique," he says, "it can be imagined."
R imili Avramenko’s world is somewhat unique. He is one of the chief scientists working on Russia’s
version of SOL Avramenko has been entrusted with lhe highest possible clearances. So high that, for much of his life, he hasn’t been able to use his real name. If he wanted to publish something, he would have to use an alias. We began our interview of this highly.regarded scientist with what we thought would be a good ice- breaker: Is the UFO phenomenon for reat? The question was quickly brushed aside, in no uncertain terms. "My colleagues and I don’t even think that’s a
question!" he bellowed. "Of course they are real!" The exchange of information between aliens and
humans, the scientist claims, has led to the develop- ment of what he referred to as the "weapon of Ihe aliens," the plasma benm. The space age weaponry was incorporated into the Soviet version of SDI. Dr. Avramcnko also con/inned for us that Russians knew UFOs were from somewhere else as early as 1959. The Amer uns knew thaI 100, he said, because both sides had the same type of satellite defense wal’lling systems. Dr. Avrumcllku shured with Wi u cauph.: of olla:r startling pronouncements: during the Vietnam War, he said, a massive UFO flew over Hanoi. Although every major weapon in that city had its sights set on the craft. it didn’t budg.e. Dr. Avramcnko .llso slipped up and told us the only craft which can appruach the speed or UFO is thc Amcrican "Aurora" which is being llown in Nevada. When the look af am.lzelllelll registered on our faces, AVnLmenko quickly back- tracked .md said his inrorlll;1\ion was based solely 011 urtictes in the popular prcss.
80th SokoJov and Avralllellko admitted to us IIlJ I i- wry studies of UFOs are stiH underway in Russi;!. Some of the still-classified documents we were able to get out of Russia bear that out. The documents make it clear the Russian military maintains an ongoing, high level interest in the UFO subject. The documents reveal the Russians are far beyond the "Are they real’!" qucsti n. They not only know they’re real, the Russians arc trying to find out how to wke advantage. tt:chnologicaJly, of that facl. The documents ,!Iso shnw the Russians are monitoring urology on .1 worldwide basis. We have found references to MJ-12. Slill other American references in the files have never ocen made pubJic in the West

Another of our meetings put us across the table from the Ministry of Defense official who Is In charge of the current UfO study. By agreement, we are not yet able to make his name public, but we can give the name of the study, "Thread-3:’
of !he currenl study. 8y agreement, we ;.Ire not yet able to make his name public, but we can give the name of the study, "Thread-3," One illuminating section of those papers contains details of UFO sightings by Soviet cosmonauts. UnJike American astronauts’ reluctance to talk about the subject, UFO references were reported from the very beginning, with Yuri Gagarin himself. In the documents. Gagarin is quoted as saying UFOs ..n~ real, they tly at incredible speeds and that he would tell more about what he had seen in orbit-provided he be given permission to do so. The documents also provide information on American space encounters, including several references to things seeil on the moon by our astrorwuts, und how that information was removed from NASA’s public files.
Wlwl do the Russians know .Ibout the most cele- brated of all UFO crashes, the July, 1947 report of a crashed disc outside Roswell, New Mexico? If the incident were "real," Ihe Russians should have known about it. After all, atomic bomo rcsearch was going on ill Ihe New Mexic n desert at the time. Could Russian spies be far away? Our next interview made it seem apparent that. even in the 40~s, the Russians weren’t buying the weather balloon explanation being prof- fered to the American people at the time by the US military.
Tlwt interview was with Vuleriy Burdakov, u man who. to lilY knowledge, has never grantcd an inter- view to a Western journalist. In the 1950’s, Burdakov was a scientist at the prestigious Moscow Aviution Institute, birthplace .of the Soviet space program. Burdakav’s interest in UFOs led to lecturing on the subject, lectures which cume to the attention of Sergei Korolyov, the dean of Soviet roc~etry and the founder of the Russiun space program. But. J<orolyov did not admonish the younger Burdakov, instead he confided in him.
As the now-60-something Burdakov relates, Joseph Stalin invited KoroJyov to a meeting in 1948. The dictator broughl Korolyov 10 a room where, spre.ld out on ,I table, were piles of material and information col- lected during a top secret study. Some of the information was gleaned from rep0l1s of Soviet operatives in place in New Mexico at the time of the alleged crash. Stalin was anxious to know, what did Korolyov make of this reported crash of a UFO near Roswell?

eMUfON UFO JOURNAL
"Korolyov said, ’O.K., I’ll collect the materials and bring them back in lwo days,’" said Burdakov. "But Stalin told him, ’No, you can’t take any of this.’"
Burdakov says Stalin instead ordered Korolyov 10 work in the room for as long as he needed. Stalin offered to supply translators and anything else Korolyov needed to get the job done. When he fin- ished. Stalin asked Korolyov for his opinion.
"Korolyov told Sial in the phenomenon was re~II’" said Burdakov. "He told him the UFOs were not dan- gerous to our country, but they were not manufactured in the United States, or any other country. Slalin thanked him, nd lold Korolyov his opinion was shared by a number of other specialists."
Our interview with Burdakov revealed other first hand accounts from the annals of Soviet ufology. Burdakov says the founding father of the Soviet UFO movement, Felix Zigel, was asked to lecture the KGB on the UFO phenomenon. Burdakov says he, too, found himself on Ihe secret speaking lour. appc~lring before the Atomic Energy Institule and olher "closed secret insti- lutes" to share whal he knew anOUI UFOs. Burdakov S:JYS he was guaranteed his lectures woul be kept quiel.
Burdakov says he has no doubts about the extent of the American governmcnt’s involvcment in the urn phcnomcnon. Scver:ll hr:uH:hcs or the AJI1.:ric:lIIlIlililary. he says, arc involveu in active research and study. "We know that the United States Air Force possesses
plenty of material," says Burd:Jkov. "The U.S. Navy has a big amount of material as well. We know that special orders have been given to keep all materials se- cret. When curious people ask for the materials they are told they’re not there, Ihat they’ve been destroyed." The study of UFOs in the Soviet Union didn’t
always enjoy an unobstructed field of view. Several times, Soviet ufologists found Ihemselves on the ouls with the Soviet hier:ll’chy. Even before Zigel, thcre was Yuri Fomin.
Fomin’s intcrest in UFO dates hack to the early 50’s while COllnected with a Mos(;ow institute working on in- dustrial/electronic techniques. During lectures he de- livered to the Soviet military. he became intrigued by the number of audience members who were witnesses to UFO events. His interest. though, was not something the Soviet system thought he should publicly share. Whelhcr out of jealousy or fear, the Soviets ordered Fomin to PUI U lid on it. Despite a very public allad. in Prlll,t!o. Fomin refused. It cost him. Fomin would hecome ;1 non-person ror t:llking openly about (he subject. Still. he would not give up. During those dark days, Soviet urol- ogy was driven uIH..Iergrmll1d. Yet despite public censure. Fomin und Zigel were asked to delivcr classitied lectures to government and military onicials on the very subject they were being persecuted for talking about publicly.
The AC:Jdemy of Sciences has undertaken continu- at, private studies of UFOs since the 1970’s. Over the years, as many as ten different institutions have beenPAGE 6 NUMBER 306

involved in the studies, resulting in tholJsamls or case tilcs. The Russians, of course, have their skeptics, but even Iheir skepticism offers a refreshing change to what Americans f:lCe. The A :lucmy’s Instiwte ur Terrestrial Magnetism houses the country’s best known skeptic. Yuri PIatov.

Dr. Yarlamov has traveled to a number of reported UFO landing sites in Russi:J, including ten in Ihe direct vicinity of Moscow. 10 con uct a variety of tcslS on physical anu chemical changes in the soil and the cnvironment.

Just outside the circlcs. tens of thousands of single cell animals flourish in every cubic centimeter.

Simakov. Simakov has not been known outside of Russia until now. Dr. Simakov has also traveled to a number of Russian landing site cases, gathering data and conducting numerous tests. One of those experi- ments involved flies. "We placed flies in a dish and put the dish over a
landing site," Dr. Simakov said. ’’The flies went wild, buzzing and flying around."
Most intriguing, however, was Simakov’s discovery of liny, glass-like b<llJs recovercd from soil inside Ihe landing sile circles. Russian scientists, as yet, have nol been able to identify these microscopic marbles. Simakov has a couple of theories.
"They may be formed as the result of transmuta- tion," he said, "when oxygen was transformed into sodium under the influence of the UFO." Or, he says, they may be containers to carry life from one plnnetto another.
Although Dr. Simakov did not have many of these "seeds," he did give liS somc, in hopes Amcrican sci- entisls might be able 10 solve the myslcry.

these soldiers would be able to track military targets without the benefit of any equipment. No radar, no satellites, no night vision glasses-just their minds. We were told the success rate hovered around 70%. Some of what the general is working on has already been put to use by Russian law enforcement.
For the general and his staff, lhe conneclion with UFOs is one of cOI1lI11UniCiJlion. Seveml times during our trip, we heard reference to the "u niversal brai n" ,lI1d the "cosmic intelle(.;I."

"Experts puzzled by UFO sightingsEXPEHTS continue to be bamcd by unusual sightings in the skies of South Uumberside. Scunthorpe and Glanford’s UFO
mystery began last week when a number of peopte said they spolted strange objects in the sky.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman con- firmed that the were no RAY aircraft in the area at the time. And another at RAF Waddington said
they were not fiying in the area on the night most of the sighting’s were recorded.
1\IoD representati ve Nick Pope said that while accepting that the majority of UFO sighlings could be explained, they kept an open mind Oil those that could not. Now the cases are being looked into by
Yorkshire.based British UFO Research Association ~pokesman Phillip Mantle. He said the most remarkable factor
was that people had said the objects were soundless. "Ninety.five per cent of these things
have a ratlonal explanation," said Mr
Mantle, aduJll that weather phenumena and aircraft were common causes. "But there is just that five per cent
that would appear to defy explanation," he said. Soutb Humberside investigator Adrian
Cress of, Quest Internatiunal has appealed for thuse who have seen objects in the sky to contact him. And an investigation into the cases
reported in last week’s Evening Tele- graph Is already under way by BUFORA. Quest International can be contacted
on 075&-752216.

WHY I
FAILED
TO
REPORT
.THE
.
..
WHAT
I
SAW
THAT
NIGHT
- -L -F="IT
TAKES
guts
to
say that
you
have
seen a
UFO.
Nobody
wants
t’O be
labelled
a
space
cadet,
or loony, so it
is
eas-
ier
to say
nothing.
Dare to
speak
and you
will
find
that
suspicion
is
a
common
response
- a
narrowing
of
the
eyes,
fol-
lowed
by
questions
about
what
you
had
been
smoking,
drinking
or
swallowing
at
the
time.
Oth
adopt
a
i~ey "beam me up,
Scotty" attitude,
asking
you about
little
green men and ET.
Far
more
irritating
are
the
wholly
inadequate
explanations,
which
are
as
insulting
as
they
are’
stupid.
"It
was
the
landing
lights
of
a
plane:
is
how
they
confidently
explain
something
travelling
as
fast
as a
speeding
bullet
"What you
saw
were
the
lights
of
the
cathedral
illuminating
the
clouds,"
is
how
they
sum
up a
massille,
gliuering
object
sus-
pended in
the night
sky.,:
. It
is
easy
to
understand why
most
people
who
spot
an
unidentified
flying
object
keep
it
to
them-
selves.
Even
I
- a
newspaper
reponer
fer
the
past
14
years
- sat on
!his
story for
more
than
a
week. Curiosity
’finally
forced me
into
the
open,
and
I
was
persuaded
that
the
only
way to find
out
if
anyone
~...
elsv
had
seen
my
UFO
was
to
the story.
Even
then,
I
refused
to
haw
my
name on the
piece,
fearing
that
it
would
not
only
expose
me to
ridicule,
but
atso
attract
calls from
evBfY
nutter in town with
Iheories
on
Martians
working
at
McDonald’s,
or
large-scale
abductions
by
Venusians.
I
was half right
The
ridiwle
came,
mostly
good-nalred
leg-pulling,
.
but
the
readers
who
caned
to
report
their
sightings
seemed
- without
exception
- very
articu-
late,
and
level-headed.
.
A
common
reaction was
huge
refief
that
someone’
else
had
seen
something
and come out into
the
open
about
it-well,
almost
None
of
them
- bar orie
- had
reported
their
sighting
before
phoning
me,
fearing
that
they
would
not be
taken
seriously.
Some
would
say that
creating
such
a
climate
of
disbelief
is
a
deliber-
ate
ploy
by
the
authorities.
But
maybe
laughing
at
something
which you
cannot
explain
is
just
a
way
01
coping
with
it.
I
have
never
seen
a
ghost,
or
fairies
at the
bottom
of
my
garden
for
that
matter,
but I
know that I
saw
something
inexplicable
on
that
night.
But
what
it
was
I
shall
probably
never know.
