#2. Channeling ET and the Orb Phenomenon (By: David E. Twichell) 

One of the more elusive aspects of the UFO/abduction phenomenon is 
the ability to telepathically communicate with other-dimensional 
beings, or channeling, that is alleged by some of those involved in 
the abduction process.  I am presently involved in the investigation 
of one such "channeler".  During our first experiment, some very 
interesting anomalies presented themselves.  The subject of this 
investigation wishes to remain anonymous.  Therefore, she will 
hereafter be referred to as "Martha".

#3. Doughboy Tracked UFOs in France 

US Infantryman Relates UFO Incident in France 

In October of 1917, Francis McHouney of the 302nd Barrage Balloon 
squadron, US Army Air Corp, tracked and logged several 
dozen "spurious flying objects [that] were not Boche or one of our 
guys". Their unit had Remington Acoustical trackers (large horns 
that amplified sound waves and were used well into the second World 
War) and the then top secret Marconi Wireless Aerial Direction 
Finder (a predecessor of radar). "Me and the boys had moved up and 
around the asembling [sic] area for our next big attack against the 
Boche.

an illuminated balloon passing over the town, early in the morning.

Early RAF UFO Encounter - During Fascism, the courage and efficiency 
of the Royal Italian Air Force pilots were often used after their 
successful raids and missions as cheap propaganda tools for 
Mussolini. This sighting took place in 1936, before flying saucers 
had been heard of; when aeroplanes were still rudimentary, 
helicopters were in the experimental stage, and jet propulsion just 
a dream.

#6. Unidentified Flying Objects: Starcraft (By: Der Voron) 

American and Russian flights to the Moon: were they a hoax, or did 
Americans and Russians use starships for flights to the Moon?

It is very possible that both Americans and Russians never flew to 
the Moon, unless it would be assumed that starships were used for 
these flights. 

Because of two simple procedures, which, as the explanations below 
show, are hard to perform for a conventional rocket spacecraft:

Denham was stationed at Roswell, New Mexico, Air Force Base in 1945 
and mysteriously discharged within one month after he was assigned 
there. In January 1948 , several months after the famous cover-up of 
a crashed UFO that took place miles beyond the base, Master Sergeant 
Joel Denham re-enlisted and within a short period of time after the 
crash, he was given a "Q" top security clearance rating shortly 
after re-enlisting.]

#9. Quote of the Month 

General Kanshi Ishikawa

"Much evidence tells us UFOs have been tracked by radar; so, UFOs 
are real and they may come from outer space....photographs and 
various materials show scientifically that there are more advanced 
people piloting the saucers and motherships."

Ishikawa, Chief of Air Staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force and 
Commander of the 2nd Air Wing, Chitose Air Base, made this statement 
in 1967.

#10. Chariots of Fire (by: Colonel (Dr.) James L. Choron) 

The UFO wave of 1972-73 was the last "classical" UFO wave to sweep 
North America… at least the United States. It began in the fall of 
1972, as a group of isolated, but seemingly consistent sightings in 
the Southwestern and Southeastern parts of the country, and 
eventually turned into a nationwide phenomenon. Now, many people 
will attribute these sightings to "natural" occurrences, and the 
U.S. Government certainly has ample "explanations" for each and 
every sighting, form "atmospherics" to "weather balloons" 
to "planetary alignments"… still… I know what I saw, and it wasn't a 
weather balloon.
