It is impossible not to start my editodal bymentioning the dreadt'ul events of Septembe.I lth - of course all our rhoughts are with thefamilies of the victims at that time, and ofsubsequent actions fronr that date. I wds onholiday on that day in Septembe., and therewas something quite surreal about watchingthe whole scenario unfold and see the sheerscale of destruction while sitting in a pub inidyllic Lymc Regis.

BUFORA has long had a policy that it is a'broad church' - it does not promote any oneviewpoint and try to tell its members what tothink - and it will continue with this policy as

it enters its 40th year as an association. Thisis also reflected in the subjects presented byspeakers at our London lectures - it is alwaysemphasised that opinions made are the beliefsof the speaker, and are not necessadly shared

by BUFORA or its council. BUFORA willnot pre-censor ideas and prcsentations

because it is lobbied by outsiders to theassociation (who decline to present their owncase), and cannot be expected to run itslectures to suit all and sundry outside theassociation just to protect a few egos frombeing deflated.

The loss of an internationalplayer-A tribute toBertil Kuhlemann

By Bob Digby

John Spencer has written an excellent tributeto Bertil and so rather than repeat infomationI wanted to extend the perspective.

In my opinion, Beftil was one of the fewplayers in our field who tried to see a biggerpicture and from an Intemational viewpoint.He was a founder member of the provisionalIntemational Committee for UFO Research(PICUR) in 1979 and that was when I firstmet him at what was the First BuforaIntemational Congress held at the MountRoyal Hotel near Marble Arch in London.

Bertil certainly was one of the few'?entlemen" of this subject and was a calminginfluence in very turbulent walers. He tookthe initiative in making himself known to me

and I shall always beasure the memory ofvery interesting discussions about the widerimplications of our subject.

ln his lasr message to me earlier lhis year,Bertil said the following and I wi[ leave rheIast word to him. His physical presence willbe missed but in other ways he is still with us.

"l understand. that this question (of Ufotogyetc) - even if it is qninteresting one - is but one of several issuesvte need to address in life-Especially d.iff.cult if ta,e are in the mitut ofour career life and have ourfamilies, fiends and hobbies."

" I think that it is important that we giye eachthing-.. (thqt tee will allow tobecome an important patt in our lives).. i$ap p rop ri at e amount of time,altention,Iocus and dedication - othetwise wewill only be dabblingaround and. nothing yaluable can come out ofit."

Warm Memories of a Good Friend

-Bertil KuhlemannBy Steve Gamble

It was with great sadness that I heard of therecent deatb of Be il Kuhlemann.

I first met Bertil at the 1979 lotemationalCongress ananged by BUFORA in London,which I guess means that I have known himfor a touch over 20 years. Bertil came to theCongress to represent Project URD and UFOSweden at a meeting of senior members of


UFO goups from around the world, Thisgroup evolved into the InternationalCommittee for UFO Research (ICUR). Bertilwas a strong suppoder of ICUR tlroughout itsexistence serving in many different rolesincluding for a time Chairman. He travelledthe world trying to promote intemational co-operation and made frequent visits to the UK,often modifying his schedule spcifically sohe could attend a BUFOM meeting whilsthere.

In conbast to many UFologists today, Bertilwas a quiet man, always willing to listen tothe other persons point of view, wouldanalyse what had been said, then ask a fewquestions - but don't get me wrong, if he stilldid not agree with you he was not frightenedto say, but at least you had been given a fairhearing. Last time I saw Bertil he wassaddened to reflect upon how modemUFOlogy had become, too many peoplemaking their minds up before considering theevidence and then shouting down anybodywho might disagree!

ln his professional life he had scientifictraining and had been head of computing for a

large rcsearch organisation in Sweden, Theseskills of consructing logical arguments andcarefully analysing of data he b.ought withhim to UFOlogy. Together with a small bandof other professionals he formed Project URDwhich did a great deal of analysis of UFOrepofis to attempt to isolate commoncharateristics. Since he retircd he was doggedwith ill health, but he put his energy intoforming a small political party in Swedencenred on envircmental issues,

The world will be poorer for the passing ofBertil. But warm memories will live on in theminds of all those who met him.

Bertil RememberedBy Roy Rowlands

I always found Bertil a very polite man withgreat charm and charisma. He always took agreat interest in everything and everyone. Hisenthusiastic dedication to UFO Research wasan inspiration to all who took an interest in thesubject. I could not imagine Bertil having anyenemies. He seemed to get on well witheveryone he came into contact with, and it\ as reciprccaied.

Bertil was a happy man and always smilingand he had many an amusing story to tell. Iam glad that he always supported BUFORAand that he won the respect of all BUFORAMembers and Officers.

I will always remember the many happy timeswe shared with Bertil, particularly at theBUFORA Conference that was held at theLorch Foundation in High Wycombe. I amglad that we were able to interview him andthat we have a record of that interview onvideotape.

Bertil had a great sense of humour. I recallwith amusement the time that Bertil wasasked what his age was. He looked surpdsedat the question but with a big smile he replied,"I am just sixty years of youth !"That says it all about Bertil and his exuberantpersonality.

Beftil's passing is another sad loss to Ufologyand it goes without saying that he will bemissed by all who knew him.

It would seem appropriate to begin byconsidering the first known rccorded exampleof meteorite veneration, which existed du ngthe old and middle kingdoms of ancientEcypt.

Although at the present this scenario cannotbe ruled out, it is perhaps more likely th-t thedisappearance of the stone was due to thepowerful priests of the temple, the 'Magi'.This priesthood would have been compdsed

existence of Egyptian civilization.

Examples of 'meteoric' cults are also recordedby several other cultures of the ancient world.Grcek classical literature has provided us withfurther evidence that gives an indication of theantiquity of such cults. One €xample, the'Creat stone of Kronos', housed and veneratedat the Sanctuary of Delphi was known as the'Zeus Baetylos'. Although somewhat smallerthan the Ben-Ben stone, the meteodte was

Evidence suggests the Sanctuary at Delphicontained several fine examples of recoveredmeteorites, perhaps as many as forty stoneswere kept al the Sanfiuary. This does give anindication that both the recovery andcollection of meteoric debris had been an on-going process, and was a primary concem tothe presiding religious elite, Eventually theappearance and inclusion of reproduced'Omphalos' ('navel stones') became a commonfeature in many Greek shrines. These stoneswere token copies of originals, usually carvedfrom marble or limestone. The 'Sun-stone,ofThebes was considered to be the ,tansitive

device' by which the 'Sibyls' (priestesses)would mediate and orate the meanings ofdivine messages and omens from the gods.The stone was originally situated at Thebes, inthe province of Boeotia and was known as'The seat of Manto',

According to legend Manto was the highpriestess of Thebes and daughter of the wisesage Tieresias who as a young man, wasblinded by the goddess Athena for watchingher bathe. Atiena as an act of reconciliationfor her reclless reaction, granted Tiercsias thepowers of prophetic vision. The stone waslater re-situated at Delphi along with thepiestess Manto. A record of the stone andManto written by the scholar plutarchindicates that the sacred stone was primarilyiron in composition, this being discemable bythe stones apparent magnetic qualities.Plutarch commented that Manto claimed,"For, as the iron oftentimes acts as if it werebeing attracted and drawn towards the stone,and oftentimes is rejected and rep€lled in theopposite direction". Meteoric connectionsalso exist in the cult of Athena in the folmofher o ginal character function, the goddessof storms, lightning and thunder. The oldestknown reprcsentations of the goddess werethe'Palladia'. These werc stones of meteoricorigin, having been seen falling from theheavens and were considered to contain

inherent powers that could bestow divineprotection or give oracular sight to cbosenindividuals. Olympian Iegend relays how aPaladia made by Athena to reprcsent her&iend and foster-sister, was accidentallyhu ed to earth by Z€us, landing h theprovince of llium, where a shrine was built tohouse it,

The possession of a 'Palladium ' wasconsidered to be of pammount impotance byindividual sanctuaries, proyinces andkingdoms, especially within the state ofAthens. In the classical wo*s of Homer, it ismentioned that one of the most celebratedrclics of the ancient world was the palladia ofTroy.

The power of meteoric stones as protectiveTalismen was considered so great that theGreek army besieging Troy belieyed that rheireventual victory was impossible while theTrojans retained a ceftain palladim. Thematter of how to overcome the powe$ of thetalisman stone was addressed by the Greekmilitary high command. The crisis of the'diyine stone' was addressed by the actions ofthe fabled heroes, Odysseus and Diomedes.They decided rhat they should steal theprccious rclic to ensure the demoralizationand subsequent defeat of the entire Trojanalmy. The story continues that the two heroesfailed in their mission, having stolen a copy ofthe Trojan Palladim. The original was hiddenin an inner sanctum deep within the citadel.Despite the reputed powers of the stone, thecity eventually fell to the Creeks and tbe stonetaken to Italy by Aneas as a spoil of war.Later, the relic was moved to Loctris where itwas put on open display, for the sake of bothstate prestige and veneration by the public.

Similar accounts exist of meteorites havingbeing worshipped in Syria, phoenicia andPhrygia. The venerated stones have beenascribed as belonging to many and various


gods and goddesses including 'Cybelc', the

Dlother goddcss who was reprcsented by a

black conical stone.

and the angels can more clearly view the mindof man.

Direct similarities to the idea that certainstones possess divine and oracular powerscan be found in the Bible. For example, in theOld Testame t book of Genesis (Gen 28, 1l-22,) Jacob, in order to save his own lift, flzesinto the wilderness where he finds adepression in the ground in which to hide andsleep. Jacob is described as having chosen aparticular stone to use as a pillow. As aresult of his head being in contact with thestone he expefiences visions of both angelsand. God. Upon waking, Joshua immediateLydecided that thc sb e was sacre4 and weitabout 'setting it up'. lacob then proceeded toanoint the stone with holy oils in order tovenerate the 'inherent' spirit of god. Sometime ajlet the event, in another vision (Gen35, 1-15-) God gave Joshua instructions toreturn to the site, and there erect an altar (ont|hich lo place the stone?). It is interesting tonote that Jacob named the place,Bethel,meaning 'Gods abode/house,- Thislra slation can be interpreted as anindicotion that certain geological objectswere undoubtedly believed to containproperties of an oracular or 'supernatura|nature. Despite the fact that at no point is thestone referred to as being meteoric of origin,it is obvious that it v)as considered toinherently contain and transfer some form of'divine' phenomena,

The book of 'Joshua' (Iosb 24,26-2j,) rcferc toJoshua as having 'Took up a great stone andset it up in a sanctuary dedicated to theworship of Yahweh'. The stone is givencredit by Joshua as having the ability to act asa witress against mankind's infidelity towardsgod. The verses relay'Behold this stone shallbe a witness against us, for it hath heard altthe words of God which he spake to unto us.It shall therefore be a witness against you lestyou deny your God'.

The same information is contained in the bookof Genesis (Gen 31, 45-52). In rhis caseJoshua is described as having Took up a stoneand set ir up as a pillar'. The verses againrefer to the stone as having the ability to act as'a witness to events'.

The above excerpts from the Bible can beinterpreted as being similar to the raditionssurrounding the Black Stone of Mecca, in thatthe verses make direct reference to both thephysical, ff near physical contact with thestone and the notion that the stone operates assome form of transmitter/receive/ to analtemative consciousness.

At no point in any of the above examples isreference made to the sacred stone havingbeen altered in any way. In the long recordedhistory of the Black Stone there have been noattempts to aher the sutfaces, or shape of theslone. Other than pathetic attempts to destroythe relic, or remove pieces, committed byeggressive outsiders. In the case ofmeteorites comprising mostly of iron, or othermetallic elements, they would haee appearedas being indesnuctible to human hands or anytools ayailable to mankind at the time,

Due to the celestial nature of the meteorites,the recovery of any debris would have been ofvinually unparalleled imponance to theAnimisric inhabitanrs populating lhe impactarea. It is likely that rccovered meteoriteswere considercd far too prccious and sacred tohave been altered or reshaped by craftsmen.This concem is perhaps reflected in the Bible,where Old Testament radition was originallyfirmly set against the reshaping of any form ofaltar stones, as in the book of Exodus (Exod20, 24-25). This rradition is clearlydocumented by the lines "An altar of earth(rock/stone) thou shall make unto me, and ifthou lift up thy tools upon it, thou hastpolluted it".

The question of when in the past the BlackStone was first venerated might not ever be

exactly known, Although a clue to the

antiquity of the stone as a rcligious focal point

and that of its surrounding cult may existwithin the name of the relic's sanctuary, the

'Ka-Ba'.

It is from the language of the old kingdom(and the first knownhieroglyphs dating to

of Egyptianearly middle

kingdom) tbat yield an amazing clue into the

age of the Black Stone cult. The word'Ka'represents the ideal of the 'substance' of lifeand the very 'spiril of an individual life force.

The hieroglyphic symbol representing Ka is a

pair of arms fused together at the shoulders,

the upper arms being horizontal, the forearms

.aised vertical, hands exiended and open withrhe palms facing forwards. The Ka was

believed to be inherent within a life form ftombirth, and was view€d as being a palt of dailyexistence in the role of what could be

considered as a pafiially separate entity to the

physical body, guarding and guiding itsphysical aspect throughout itl life in the

material dimension. After death the Ka was

believed to exit the body, Furthermorc, Kawas also symbolically representative of the

duality of mankind's physical and spidtualaspects.

During the middle and new kingdoms of

Ba is again one of a group of words datingfrom the language of the Egyptian OldKingdom. The hieroglyph Ba is reprcsented

by a bird's body (raditionally considered to

be a Phoenix by scholars), with the addition ofa human head rather than that of a bird. Infunerary texts the head is rcpresentative of tlledeceased individual. The word symbolised

the human 'cont€nt of thoughf, the

individuality of a person and their eff€ct on

the physical world during their lifetime. Thiswas considered to be the Part of an individualthat remained active after death. The gmve

than physical calorific energy. The twohieroglyphs when used in co-ordination withone another can be interpreted as symbolisingof the transference of the mind and spirit toand from tbe world of the sublime and thegods. The hieroglyph was included invirtually all funerary scripts, in the hope that

after death their personality would be able tojoumey witi the individuals Ka to the

celestial 'Duat' ('Tuat', home of the gods and

heavenly souls), thercby remaining'spirituallyintact' and thereby gaining the gift ofimmo alify.

Is it too much to speculate that old kingdomEgyptian was the root language from whichrhe Ka-Ba has inherited ils title? Two unjque

usethe


words, the meanings of which were vitallycentral to matters of spirituality in the oldEgyptian system of religion. The two wordswhen used together can be interpreted as 'Thetmnsference of the etemal eneryy of god, toand from the individual'.

Perhaps the ancient Egyptians/ Chaldeansthemselves may have made pilgdmages to theshrine at Mecca at some distant point in thedistant past, centuries beforc the advent ofEgypt as a 'superpower' of the ancient world.The joumey from Egypt to Mecca (a distanceof some 600 miles) would not have been aproblem to the notably skilful Egyptianmariners who would have followed asoutherly route along the rclatively calmwaters of the Red Sea, the problem ofnavigation being simplified by shadowing thewest coast of the Middle-Eastem peninsula.This would have ensured that, the joumey wasrelatively easy and safe.

A wealth of archaeological remains, artefactsand wdtings provide the evidence, thatwithout a doubt these trade routes not onlyexisted but that they positively flourished.

Further evidence relative to this ancient cultappears in the holy book of Islam, the Komn.The verses explain that, coinciding with therise of the prophet Mahomet as a pious holyman, the synchrcnistic appearance of a cometwas followed by a plolonged and violentmeteor shower. Verses of the 37th Surahrelay how the meteor showers were of suchgreat intensity that astronomers werc at acomplete loss to explain the phenomena,ironically the situation was made wome by thefact that due to the ferocity of the storms, thesoothsayers were unable to venture out toexamine the stars and thereby interpret the

ashological meanings of the event,

The timing of a comet and meteor showercoinciding with tbe advent of Mahomet drawsa close parallel to the Biblical nativity scene,witi the birth of Jesus being shortly precededby the appearance of a' sta.r in the easf .

Aerial lntrusions- A New Defence Significance?

By Brian P James

It cannot be doubted that the tenorist attackson New York and Washingron on 116

September 2001 will chrnge both commercialand military aviation for a great many years, ifnot decades. I certainly do want in any sense

to belittle fte tragic events, or lheir altemathald grief - however, the events after that date

do oft'er us one or two clues as to perceptionsof defence significance. It should also be

noted that dudng the total ban on commgrcialflights in the USA immediately alter theattacks, there were many spurious reports of'phantom aircraft' that ve.y much echoed the

invasion paranoia of December 1942-

Perhaps we also need to study the iocidents ofUFO repo.ts in the USA during this period -how many people were furlher misidentifyingnatural objects as potenLial aerial theats?

we only have to thirrk of Nick Pope s views

in $is counay to see how he arguos thatBritain's air defenca is very nuch threateoedby incursions of unknown aerial vehicles on avery regular basis. As some of you may knowfrom other aficles I've wdtten on this subject,I do not a$ee with Nick's public thoughts andconclusions on this subject (even if this has

lead to me beirg thought of by some as an

MOD 'inlilbator')

Whatever credence you give to Bob Dean'saccounts and clairns about the "Evaluation ofPossible Military Tlueat to Allied Forces inEuope", a study alleged to have been cariedout by SHAPE in the late 1950s, it delies


belief that the powers thal be of both NATOand WARPAC during the height of the ColdWar did not tate true unknown incursions intoairspace very seriously - for goodoess sake,

we were talking about possible MutuallyAssured Destluclion by tl']e world's nucleaJ

a$cnals! Don't place too much belief in the

often publicised 'encounters' when RAF orUSAFE interceptors ilew out to intercept'intruder' Soviet reconnaissance aircraft -these 'intruders' were very much knownahead of the interception, alrd expected, andthe ritual game then played out of talingphotos and exchanging good*natured wavcsbetwegn aircrews before the 'intxuder' and'defender' retum home.

How would the intcrceptors have reacted to atrue unknown? No govemment or defenceforce could afford lo take the chance that an

unknown aerial incursion was not a nuclearfiIst strike by 'the enemy'. Indeed lheBelgian events of the late 1980s perhaps

confirm this viewpoint, or did they?

tet's recall rhar :rt rhe hcighr of rhe BelgianWave, it was only the Belgian Ai. Force thatscrambled any ajrcra[l to inlerccpt aerialtargets coming in from Eastem Europe. Be inno doubt, these were supposedly trueunknown aerial taJgets, not the games ofSoviet reconnaissance aircraft - where inNATO was fte decision taken not to mobiliseits defensive aircraft? Remembet, $eunknown targets had already flown across theNATO airspace over West Ge.many - home

to numerous USAFE and RAF bases, whosevery role was to intercept WARPAC firststrike incursions! Seems like someone in thechain of command forgot to iell the Belgian,swbat was going on!According to the accounts, at times in theBelgian Wave, these unknown targets flewtowards British airspace, yet at no time did theRAF apparently think it wananted an alefi,implying that they already knew this was nothreat, and to that end they would be of nodefence significatce.

l€t's not forget tbe world situation at the time

going to die when we have a nuclearwar!" (my emphasis.) Westem Europe at thistime could not have been more aware ofdefence and security!

We have to think again to another tragicevent, and subsequent ones, to consideranother factor herc. We all remember themystery that surrounded the loss of TWAflight 800 on t?d July 1996, which even nowprompti conspiracy theories that is wasdowned by a rogue anti-aircraft missile, oreven links to the alleged Montauk Projec! tosay nothing of claims of UFOs being seen in

of the Rendlesham Incident in Decamber1980 - again supposed to be of "no defencesignificance," There was still considerableintemational tension oyer the Soviet Union'soccupation of Afghanistan, and Madial Lawhad just been enforced in Poland, under theinstigation of the Soyiet Union, and the ColdWar was at its coldest since probably theCuban missile crisis. We had a relatively newgovemment in Britain. who were preparing usfor nuclear war, as witnessed by DeputyPrime Minister William Whirelaw's Freudianslip in a TV interview - "Ofcourse people are

the vicinity...

Another commercial flight suffeled a neartragedy in the very same a.rea only six monthslater. Howeyer, this near tragedy was directlyattributable to air-defence operations, and Iwas always surprised that certain sections ofthe media didn't cover this event more fully.On 56 February 1997, a Boeing 7/7 ofNations Air Charter was en-route from pue oRico to New York's Kennedy afport. Whenit was 70 miles off the US's eastem seaboard,

BUFORA Magazine--October 2001-Page lZ

it was intercepted and buzzed by two F-16fighters of the 1776 Fighter Wing of theUSANC, causing great panic and distress ontbe airliner, as itr pilot's were responding to

Foximity wamings of collision - the F-16shad gone that close. The pilof s of the Boeing'127 had lo take evasive action, and thepassengers were given a very rcugh ride as

the airliner was forced to dive 4000'! At onepoint the F-16s had buzzed the 727 so close

that the airliner's proximity waming system

could no longer detect the fighte$, and they'engaged the comrnercial airliner more than

once, ANG commander, Col, Thomascriffin - spokesman for the l77s FighterWing made sorne very inter€sting commentsat the time, and which seem even morecurious in September 2001.The two fighter pilots had detected an

"unauthorised aircraff in their area -remember this airliner was ransmitting its

identity to civilian air-controllers by means ofits transponder, He added "..it was iheirmission to check out any aircraft thatappeared to be intruding US airspace", and

that "..they bad to get close enough to identifyit". The two ANC F-l6s were on exercisesbeing conrolled by the US Navy, whoinsisted that they had ordered the pilots todisengage their intercept of a civilian airliner.

While the above may indicate a gross lack ofcommunication between USANC. USN and

civilian air conhollels, it should not be

forgotten that even in 1997, the US militarywere vigilant to aerial intruders, remember,according to Col Griffin "..it was theirmission to check out any aircraft thatappeared to be intruding US airspace" I see

no reason to suspect that this policy had notbeen enforced between February 1997 and

Seplember 2001.

I have to admit that while I was watchingnews reports of the airbome terrorist attacks

in the United States on l1d September, I wasleft wondering just what the USAF and ANGwere doing, once it must have become clearthat the filst airliner hitting the World TradeCenter was no accident. I did see reports thatconfirmed that the hijackers tumed off theautomated identification hansponder systems

on board the airlineN, which would haveeffectively made them invisible to normalcommercial air traffic control, but surely airdefence radar must have been tmcking these

aircraft - surely four civilian airlineN (even

recently I have seen statements attributed toVice-President Dick Cheney that six airlinerswere at one time unaccounted for) vanishingoff air traffic control systems with no reportsof crashes might have raised suspicions? Itcan only be a matler of time before conspiracytheorists take this line of thought much, muchfurther!

In the days and weeks following the attacks, ithas been 'revealed' that the govemments inboth the United States and Bdtain have nowempowered their air d€fence fighte$ to shootdown commercial aircraft that are deemed tobe potential threats - I would be fascinated tofind out how the RAF are now rcacting to'UFO' reports and anomalous radar tmces! Iwould be very surprised if there is any realchange in air defence policy.

Clearly the official line that UFOS pose nodefence significance does not square withevents and publicly stated air defence policy,unless the evaluation of a lack of thrcat has

already been made higher up the chain ofcommand - so who does know what is behindthese aerial inbusions by clearly structurcdvehicles of unknown origin?

BUFORA, and back in the 70s and 80s editedits Joumal, and it was in this capacity I wasllrst in close ccnract with Lcrry, as he'dprovide me with details and results. ofinvestigations inlo repo.ts so that I could writerhem up for the Journal.

If it isn't a contradiction in terms, I alwaysfound him a very 'down to earth' type of guy.He always expected hi s investigators to giyehim lull and correcl lacrs cbout every case.

and its probably rue to say I couldn't haveproduccd the Journal as well as I did withouthis assistance. He also had - and indeedHAS - a keen interest in the Korean martialafl ol Taekwondo. He's now a black belt.which involves considerable mental andphlsical Liisciplinc - more of rhat latcr.

Since then his contact experience s have

developed, I thought you'd like to know moreabout them. Last year I didn't have myfriend's permission to give details. This year IDO! I kaow he would welcome ideas,

observarions or suggestions -that anyonemight hive. On occasion I've also passed

sorire of the details on to Lou Farish, and he

can confirm the accuracy of much of what Isay. Eyents appear to be ongoing - but lhey'rcintriguing enough up to now.

So.,.. Here we go..,...

translates as "Rat", her full name being"Ratanapom", but that's by the by!

As well as being a Taekwondo black belt _curently Larry instucts a local school inTaekwondo (and he also runs his ownclasses), Lany has also always had afascination for mathematics - particularlyhigher mathematics and calculus. To adegree, this comes into his expe.iences, butI'11 keep such rcferences to a minimum, as tobe honesr. whilst my own mental arithmelic ispretty good, my algebra, quadratic equationsard calculus are definit€ly not. Both Larryand myself are fellows of the RoyalAshonomical Society,Two relevant points here, First, the disciplineof Taekwondo also includes mental exercise,metal discipline and meditation. Second,Lany has, over the years experienced manycoincidences associated with the numbers 3and 8 (This is rclevant to his contact).Numerologically speaking, in facr, '8' is hislife number,..

To give one example.,. When I firstmentioned his future wife to him, I incorrectlygave her birthday as January 286, to which hercplied "But, that's my grandmother'sbirthday" I then said, "Hang on,I'll check thedate," then corected and said .,No. I'mwrong. its January 8ft." To which heresponded, "But, that's my mother'sbirthday!"

But, to his experiences...I would like to emphasise at the outset, that ifl,arry says something happened - ITHAPPENED! He makes a damed goodwitness, and is always matter offact...

The story really goes back some 45 years - tothe mid-1950s, when Larry was a schoolboyin his early teens. He then lived in Bow,, inEast London. Midday one Saturday, he wascrossing the road at Bow church. This

church, is in fact, on a large island in ttremiddle of the road which separate the east andwest bound cardageways. He,d crcssed thewestbound road, when, with the churchbehind him, he started to cross the eastboundlanes. He then experienced a 'slowing-up'feeling - time was dragged morc and morc ashe crossed the road. He was moving moreand more slowly, unable to speed up. Afterwhat seemed like an age, he reached thepavement turned right, and for some rcason,looked round to his left, where, some 20 yardsor so away, he saw a 'twin' of himself lookingback at him, but walking in the oppositedirection. He felt quite surc that this .other

self was smiling, though he knew his ownface must have been exprcssing surprise!Then tuming, he found he was suddenlywalking at speed, giving chase, and heimmediately collided with a lady carying alot of shopping - who made an appropriateremark about what she thought of the youngergenerationl He mn on hard, looking to catchup with his 'twin', butt he figure disappearedamongst people out shopping. Retracing hissteps a few minutes later, he met his friends,and they thought his story was hiladous!

Right, here we jump ahead some 25 yea$ toarcund 1980, Lany was then married withthree cbildrcn, the youngest aged four, Helived in Petts Wood, in the county of Kert.ln his home there, on a number of occasionsover a period of weeks in tbat year, Larrywould hear a baby crying. However, no babywas in the house, and none were in the houseson either side. No-one else in bis family, or ineither of the adjoining houses, could hear thebaby - only him. He always heard rhe cryingwhen in the lounge, and would follow itssound out of the rcom, where it would thenappear to come from upstairs, but as hewalked up the stairs, it would grow fainter anddisappear. He would hear it for about 5minutes before it would cease. He mentionedit to me at the time, and I could think of no

logical explanation. He also visited TimCood, who gave as his opinion that someentity or another might be [ying to contacthim - which may have been prophetic in viewofwhat was to happen 20 years later - 2000.

So, now we jump forward that 20 years, toMarch 2000. Larry has now been living inThailand, with his wife (who is incidentally astaff nurse at Udornthani hospital), for aroundfour years. Until last year he can recall noother expedences ofa psychic or alien nature.In the middle of the night, in January of 2000,he head that same cry of a baby as 20 years

before. His wife was asleep, so he got up, andop€ned the bedrcom door. But, as he wentoutside the crying ceased - it was onlyaudible to him in the bedroom, Lasting aboutllve minutes on each occasion, lhis wasrepeated at night four or five times during thenext two weeks.His house is on a comer, with two otherhouses adjoining, belonging to his wife'ssisters, the thrce homes forming an L-shape.In none of lhem were any children. or anyage .

Back to the 'crying'. On about the fifth orsixth time he heard it it was at midday, not int}te might. Obviously if you awake quickly atnight one can be slightly disoriented, but nowof course. be was wide awake. and he againhea.d the crying as he entered the bedroom.All this time, he was able to follow the'strength' of the crying. He stepped forwardslowly, following the intensity of the sound,and on reaching a central spot, felt a tinglingsensation, The crying faded into thebackground and aspects of a face appeared inhis mind.Larry's Taekwondo meditation techniquesmean that he has full mental control - he canmake his mind blank for a while, andconcentrate on whaigver he wishes, and so on.However, what appeared, or what wasprojected to him was OUTSIDE his contlol!He himself says he felt what was happening-

including the crying, was technologicatlyinduced, since he believed that supematumvpsychic events do not normally focus on onevery small area.

All subsequent commlnications rverereceived in lie bedroom, on some occasionswhen he was in bed, and not always at theparticular point where the first projection wasseen. His wife - with one small confirmatoryexception (I'll come to in a moment) - was,and still is completely umware of anythingunusual. Lary's told her nothing of hisexperiences for several reasons. For onething, Ratanapom was usually either workingat the hospital at the time, or asleep. Also, as

with most Thai's, her English, while adequatefor everyday use, is othe.wise rather limited -say for example, you were to say to a Thai"He's round the bend", or "He's twosandwiches short of a picnic" (Neither ofwhich I hasten to add apply to Lanyl), tieresult would be puzzlement, and they mightask "Wherc is the b€nd?" or "Why did he nottake enough sandwiches?" - you get my drift.

Back to the entity's appearance. The headand face was all that was 'shown', and Larrydescribed this to me from thrce angles ofview - the flont, side and from above. Thefrontal shape was not unlike that of a 'Grcy',but the top of the forehead se€m€d almost flat.The mouth appeared rather as a three-tircdseries of dots or holes. The eyes were greenwith black pupils, but there were llgq pupils ineach eye. As I've commenied, this issomething lhal l've not come across in any inany other form of alien contact, and l've notsubsequently located any alien visitation thathas such a featurc. I've even delved intomythological gods and ancient religions to tryto uncover instances of a'twin-pupilledentity', but without success.The face was generally of a light purplecolour. From a side view, the head extendedbackwards a remarkable length, tiis being


about three times the height of the head, withthe purple colou still dominant. From an

overhead view, the head again appearedextremely elongated, its top being of a bluishcolour with no hair whatsoever, From acomputer graphic subsequently made byI,any, we both rcmarked that from the'overhead' view, the head rather rcsembl€d a

coffin !

Larry felt that the images were being directlyplaced in his 'minds eye', and he sensed toothat the words "equation" and "formula" werebeing dirccted to him. Also, he felt somehow,that the entity was indicating to him that itwas Larry who should next ry to get in touch.The entire experience lasted for only a fewminutes before the image faded.

Lany thought about this, and decided that thecrying had only been an 'initial' attempt tocontact him, and if he waited again for it, itwouldn't be HE who was attempting contact.Since the contact had been a mental one, he

decided to use his Taekwondo meditationtechniques, partly because the colour of theentity had been his own meditatior colour-purple; and padly that since he'd have been

hard put to initiate a 'physical' method, itseemed the best option.So this is what Lany subsequently did, alwaysmeditating either in the bedroom at the spotwhere he'd first been drawn, or when he wasactually in bed.

On his first and subsequent attempts anyforiner images that had manifested in hisTaekwondo meditations werc completelysuperseded by the head he had seen. To quoteLany himself: "What seemed to have

happened was that my 'encounter'rcprogrammed all previous images andrcplaced them with just the one - our 'friend'.When I ask a question and get an answer,

there is no colour chalge. The image colouris green, but when I rcceive an answer, part ofit changes colour, the whole slowly then

disappearing, allowing me to tavel on furtheruntil I meet the changed image again. I amtalking here of only the frontal facial view"Now when I read this I couldn't help thinkingof a comparison with a computerisedwebsite - where you 'explore' one particularfacet of that site and then 'retum' to its'homepage'. Lary continued, "When I askedabout the identity and origin of the entity, Idid not understand the answers I received.When I tded to establish identity I was told'Mee' or 'Ml'. When I asked if 'he' was

human. the answer was 'no'. As to its origin,the response was 'CAN EVERYWHERE TO24'" Conceming the entity itself or itswherabouts, there was no futher informationoffered than this . . .

Lany continued his account: "It seems that Ican revisit answers when I restart a

meditation, and always I seem to have to startat rhe beginning. But I can only revisit a

certain number of times, since earlier answ€rshave already been 'dele!ed'. One of thethings I do not understand are the wayanswers are given to me. I don't 'hear' the

answer - it is somehow 'inserted' and I feel at

the time something going into an appropriatelocation in my mental dictionary - a veryweird feeling"Now this again brought to my mind a

computer association [Not unlike one

experiencer I know who describes this 'input'as being like a software 'do',enload' - Edl Italso brcught the thought that the entity had noinlention of offering dircct information itself-it was just waiting for appropriale questionsasked of it - not answering any that he (?) she

became a hurdle for Lany bimself, since onquestioning further, he found the race if hiscontact - 'MI', had no numerical systems, nonumbers at all!

So think for a moment. How can one describearea, volume, quantity and so on withoutusing numbers? On occasion in Thailand I'vecome across this at its simplest - for exampleit might be said, not thal "l have three pairsof tousers", but that "I have a pah of trousersthat are grey, and another pair the same, and Ialso have a brown pait''. They do havenumbers to use if they need to, and such away of quantifying things can only be used atits most simplistic.

This is what Larly himself wrct€ on thissubjecl "It seems that its left to me !o askquestions of 'MI', so I thought I'd try to getsome idea of how these 'beiDgs' think, and I

thought the quickest route would be throughnumbers, Asking how equations would besolved would give me two ideas. Whethernumbers are viewed in the same way as weview them, and also to an insight into their'society', and its philosophy... But, the shortanswer was that they don't have numbers."With considerable difficulty, La.ry managedto convey the basic coDcepts of our nume calsystems, but one thing he found impossible toexplain was the concept of negative numbe$.However, the entity - 'Ml' quickly found a

way to represent their own methods. 'MI'seemed to pick Larry's mind on this, and theyexchanged a series of algebraic/geometricequations as a sort of 'halfway house'. Over aperiod of several weeks, Larry worked onthese and forwarded to me a 20-odd page

'illustrated treatise' of how he managed tounderstand their system (Please see theexample diagrams). Again, I .could followhim just a litde of the way algabraically, butI'm not even going to EI getting into thisnow! I think the best I can say is that theirsystem is a 'form of empathic correlation', ormaybe 'pictorial empathic concepts' 114/roelse thought of crop formations - Ed? l

At this time, the other main item discussedwas time. Not content with the 'magnetictime' concept I referred to earlier, our friend'MI' also related their concepts of time, whichwere radically diffeient to our own. Oncemore to quote Larry: "OUR concepts of timeinvolve the passage of time - the past, presentand future 'MI' states that the 'future' is'passive'; the 'now' and the 'past' are

'active'. But, there is a fourth component of'unused' or'dead time"' However, the terms'dead' or 'unused' time are also refefied to as

a 'general or special operating timecomponent', were only further explained bygoing into Einstein's General RelativityTheory and further complicated equations,neither of which I prcpose to Fy now!

Much more, largely technical infomation(whether true or false) was obtained from theentity on the subjects of Relativity, Genetics,DNA and so on, but Inny could get no-whereon the more practical aspecu of MI's species,place of origin etc. Then suddenly, he foundthat the face - the eniity - disappeared fromhis meditations, and he could no longer recallanything subsequent to the face of MIappearing - anything relevant to this contactthat is. Fortunaiely Larry made copious notes,and also put them onto disk. So, siDce he 'lostcontact', we've both been trying to work out -not only from the point of lhe entire exercise,but what we might be able to find out aboutMI, the entity.In doing so, we've explored Lord knows howmany different areas of possible association -mythological figures: ancient Gods; ancientmonuments; the recession of $e Equinoxes:star and constellation names and positions;numerology; and even Runes.

Basically there have been three 'clues' tofollow up. Firstly the name itself - MI;secondly the twin pupils in the eyes; andtiirdly possible associations with the numbers3 and 8. You'll recall that the answer given as

to 'point of origin' was "Can an].\phere to24" - wltich raises two points. The first ofthese is Larry's 3 and 8 are facto$ of 24, andsecondly whilst the entity mentioned 24, helater said that he had no numerical system atall! And, with regard to his twin pupils -might even this be allegodcal? A possibleref€rcnce to himself at theencounter with a double,schoolboy - a pupil? If these occunences hadbeen rclated to me almost by anyone else Iprobably wouldn't have taken them tooseriously - but, I've known Larry for around30 years - I know that his attitude to anythingof this nature is "OK, I've no doubt thatoverall, its possible, but I'm sceptical of itwithout proofl', And of course Larry knowsthat I share a similar attitude.

So, currently we're both continuing to'tbllow-up' possibilities in various directions,but there could well be a 'sting-in-the-tail'here... At one point I suggested to Lary thatthe appearance of M[ and his subsequentDlsappearance might just indicate that,having been satisfied that Larry was an

appropriate humal to communiiate with, ourfiiend just might start thinking in terms of a

more physical manifestation - and it could beuhrt Larry has been erperiencing in recentrnonrhs just might be a prelude to 5omethingof a more physical nature, This is what's irolyh(cn happeninq. and its differentcsrin....

In early Janua.ry of this year, Lany was takiirga Taekwondo class at the schoot inUdorntahni where he teaches. He glancedaround, and saw a woman sitting at the side ofthe gym. He thought she was in her 30's,with long dark hair and a medium dark skin(this in fact can be anything from near-whiteto a very dark-brown). He assumed that she

was a parent. He turned his head to give moreinstructions to his class, and on looking roundagain, found that the lady had gone. Onasking whose parent or friend it had been, he.eceived the response "What lady?" A similarincident occurred a week later-

locked the door when he'd left. as she in facthad gone out before him. He told her that as

he'd walked out, he'd seen her on a woodensettee(ln Thailand, people more often thannot, riJratever the occasion may be, just leavewithoiit saying anything to anyone). Anyway,he ano Noijust laughed about it. But later, herealized the odd thing - this 'lady' he'd seen a

Noi was sitting wearing a kneelength skirt,and had her legs crossed - but Noi neverwears skirts like that. nor sits in that manner!

Then, on January 27'h, Larry sent me an email,and I quote from it:

"My mysteriousl-lady has turned up again, Ifound her lying: beside me one night lastwebk. I could not see Ratanapom in the bed.I Eot. out of ttre bedroom to make sure I wasstilJ in rny bungalow. I found tbat I was, butwhenl turned round, the lady had gone and Isaw: my wife sleeping soundly..

So, to summarize the whole series of events -seeing his twin when a schoolboy: lhe cryingbabies; the advent of MI; and the mysteriousappeadng and disappeadng ladies. I'll quotethe words that Larry wrote down beforecontact with Mi was 'terminated':".... When 'Brain' is developed fastet thanTechnology then W ttill succeed. IJ

RECOLLECTIONS OFSOMEEXTRAORDINARY EVENTSAND A TIME LOSS IN WEST

YORKSHIRE

In the July/August 1998 issue of the BUFOMBulletin, Paul Ascough tloatmentetl asynopsis of c case he investigated in 1995. Asthis case is t'ery signirtcdnt within the annalsof high strangeness cases, which ia,olyenissing tine, I thought it mighx be inportant,o look at these etents again it nore detailand als<t bing this conpcllittg case to the

ottention of members new to BUFORA,

I have kept in touch with two of the witnessesover the years since they experienced theseevents and have spoken with tiem both withinthe last month. I will comrnent on theirthoughts at the end of this case sumnary.

Events as they unfolded . . .

On a warm mellow evening in July 1995 a

husband, wife and their niece and herboyfriend were enjoying a barbecue in theback garden of their niece's home when theyexperienced some very strange and

inexplicable events.

The back garden was surrounded by six footprivet hedges and the neighbours on bothsides of the house were out for lhe evening.They ate beef burgers and watched the lotterydraw on television and then returned to thegarden, where music was playing on thestereo.

Both husband and wife were sat on a smallbench outside the back door and generally'messing around' as the husband put it. Helooked to the right of him over the hedge and

at about an estimated quarter of a mile away,he observed some flashing lights for a fewseconds. That was his fi$t sighting and thenhe remembers his second sighting when hedescdbed something above him with a blackdoor; it was high up with what seemed to bevapour across it. It opened and a beam oflight shot out. The husband then observed anobject, which was at a slight angle and

appeared to be in ftont of his eyes above thetrees with light coming thrcugh the trees, Hedescribes lights in a tdangular shape on thetop and four lights on the bottom. The toplights were moving in the opposite directionto the lower lights.

He then remembers that he and his wife and

niece went over to the privet hedge where hewatched the object appear to drop downbehind the trees between some nearby houses.It then appeared again and shot a beam oflight out towards a house, moved up anddisappearcd, rcappeaing lower down thevalley. The husband cornments that it didn'tmove, but was suddenly' not there, but there'.He then watched the object move down thevalley and across the bridge out of view.

To give members a sense of what occurrednext, the husband comments in the followingway ..

Then later on was the moon thing - il toslow in the sky. It was a funny moon though.I didn't rcally recall that vnlil Ister on whenthey said there shouldn't have been a fultmoon thql night.(Astronomical informationindicates that the moon would not have beenvisible before llp ) I al$'als thought I rvas

sal on the bench all the time lhis wqshappening, but I vas sat on the bench sndm! wife wssn't next lo me, she h'asstanding. The object was going down by thetrees and et erything v)as in slow motion, loucouwn't hear any noke. I could see the sideof her face and she was talking or shoutingher head olf - bul I couldn'l heat her voice.There was no sound there and that is vhen Ithought this is importafi and I had to get apbecause this was my vifu an.I I slood up -just to get up

There were other rhings while this washawening - the silence. It wasn't a prcpersilence, it was like one slep belov' silence, as

though lou were really somewhere else, likeup in space. That is what I meon by thesilence. Then therc was a slightly warm

feeling. I remember when I vcs sal on lhebench at one point looking over my ightshoukler, looking at what I thouglrt was thehouse wall, it was all light. Thinking aboutit now, the houses are redbrick and this


looked like white sarulstone. That is when Iheard a sound I wd.t the only one whoheard this, but I told the others,

When it had all finished things came backto me and eyerything was all mixed up. Itwas like backward and forward; time wasmissing. It started at 9.40pmi we all knowthat, I had mentioned to my wife it wastwenty to ten, then a few seconds later, itwas 10.50pm. When I saw my niecerunning towards the barbecue in slowmotion, that was in my mind and my wifeseemed to be chasing her, lhen my niecewas coming back towards her and thenjustdisappeared. There were other things toolike when my niece's boyfriend went intothe other garden and then he came out ofthe house. It was all mixed up and doesn'tfollow on with any continuity. My wife andI thought things were slrange before all thishappened (All four people report feeling andsensing a definite curious change ofatmosphere prior to the events that occuned)

His wife gives the following account of howshe perceived what this incident...

I was sat on the bench with my husband andit vas just above my head and very big, ItN,as low and I feh I could have jumped upand louched it. I ran ovet to get m! niece'sboyfriend asking him to look at this objectand when I tumed and looked again itwasn't there, it had move.l furthet doy'n thevalley. There were rotating green" red andblue lights on top like an arch, but notflashing. 1 don't know how long I waslooking at 4 but then il moved dowr. thevqlley and that is $'hen the big moon comeup. I said lo my husband that this coul.l:n'tbe the moor. because it wa.t too big, It wasunreal because it seemed to be as thoughdaylight was all arcund it, As the object)ent towqtd the 'moon' it was as though it

broke aparl arul then the objecl was gone.

Then we just sal oatside talking about it. Ican't really remembet what happened, but Iwas on the bench and my niece r'os in themi&lk of the floot, but m! husbandremernbered her being neat the back door.Also the sterco seemed n go off unless it wasstill on, but $'e covwry't hear it. We couldhe$ nothing whatsoever. My husbarul safulI was shovting and I've got a loutl voice so Icouldn't understarul 'h! no-one else cameout, as there are a lot oJ houses aroundthere, but nobo.I! else hql seen thk. It wssas iJ there were just fow of us out there,Nobody else existed, just us four, il was justso weird.

This object could have been there all the time,but hot lit up, because vthen I sow it, whatattracted e in the frrst place were the lightsand the shape of it, a bottom part with thisthihg on the top, So if that was above uspeople would be able to see it.. When myniece's boyfiend sow it, he remembered it asbeing just black, It was summer people \t)ereout having barbecues ond it was turenty to ten.It was just going dark like sunset, because itwas prerty light when it happened and then itwas pitch black and it \eas gone.

Why tlidn\ anyone else see i! - thot moon-we've never seen a mooL like that? It was ssthough the object jusl went directl! into the'moon'.'

His wife then goes on to say that they had nothad much to drink and thar her glass keptdisappearing. She comments on this in thefollowing way...

' I sat do, n and mt glass was there and thenit was gone, so I went into the kitchen Jor a

fresh glass and poured myself another oneand put it und.er the bench and then that had


gone too. The glasses just kept disappear;ngall the time- My niece ended up with noglasses in her house the following day. Therewas also a strange atmosphere there allnight.'

I-ater on in the evening. ..

At llpm everyone was very confused abouttheir memory of events that evening and thetwo women fell asleep on the lounge floorinstead of going to bed. The husband wasviolently sick. All four people felt veryunwell following this ilcident particularly thewife, who suffered from headaches and a fearof closing her bedroom curtains for a longperiod of time afterwards. This fear is stillon-going.

They had also informed the police after these

events and although they were very helpfulthere was nothing rcported or logged thatwould have been relevant to lheir experiencesand thercfore they could not be of assistance.

The investigator into this case in 1995 is apammedic and he made the followingobservations in his report about the family...

'My impression is that both husband and wifeare honest and truthful. Their story has notchanged, nor has it been embellished in anyway. Both are sincere in attitude and do notteish to ptortt or make any money from thisincident. Quite the opposite, they merely seekan honest etplanation of what happened tothen and why- They do not wish theirinvolvement in this incident made public, buthope that BUFOM may be able to offer anexplanation, so they may carry on with theirnormal daily lives in peace.

There appears to be no normal explanation

for their confused memories. As far as can beascertained no drugs were consumed andneither did theJ d nk more than normal

during this social evening. The husbanddesctibes his own memories of tha, night asimagining it was all recorded on a video tape,cut into lengths of a few seconds, dispose oJmany segments and splice the remaindertogether in he wrong onier- A very graphicdescription!.

I do not beliere coneentiohal aircraft orhallucinatory experiences played any part inthis incident.

The witnesses do not suffer from epilepsy andneither have a background of out-of-body ornear-death experie ces. The husband andwife feel that whatever happened to them wasrery real and extemely frightening andneither one have experienced anything likethk before and do not wish lo experienceanlthing like it ogain.'

Relevant Background Information,

Investi9ator, Paul Ascough, checked. outbackground information aboul the area.

Structural faults include two small thrust

faults running generally West to East and onemajor fault running WNW to ESE with smallto moderate dips.

Wealher conditions that evening h,ere analmost clear slcy with e:.cellenl visibility and asmall afiouht of cumulus cloud, tefiperature18 degree centigrade (65 Fahrenheit).

Location: Small housing estate of semi-detached bungalows and two-story houses.Houses 32-35 feet higlr, bungalows 18-20feethigh. Grass and open areas within estate and

rteds to either side with tree-lined avenues,many up to 80 feet high. Geheral arca hilly-

Ne$'spapers included. Halifax Courier, andyorkshire Evening Post. No local papercaftied any story, which was relevant to this


investigation-

Civilian Airfrckls: Leed.s/BradJord Airportand Manchester Airport. Neither hadanything rcported or logged althoughManchester airpon stated that there was asmall increase in air taffic oyer Calderdaledue to strong winds and this was reponed inthe Halifot Courier a few days piot to theincident-

Military: RAF West DraJton and MOD -nothing reported and no military flights in thearea,

As tr o n o mic ol I nfo r m ati o n :

BeJore 10pn (British Summet Time), thebrightest object in the slcy was Jupiter, lowdown in the South. The Moon was risingbetween 9.30 and 10pn GMT, so this u)ouldnot have bebeeen visible before |lPM BST.By midnight Saturn had risen in the East, butthe bight moon would have washed. this out,Prior to 10.30pm BST they would certainLynot haw been observing the moon.

Further Developments und comments.

An interesting footnote here is that thehusband had developed a severe form ofpsoriasis in February of that year particularlyon his hands and feet and his GP diagnosedthat he would have it for the rest of his life.His feet were so bad that sometimes hecouldn't walk with it. After th€se events andby October his pso asis had completelyclearcd up and has not retuned. His wifeexperienced bad headaches after this incidentand describes this as not being like a nomalheadache, but a stabbing pain at the back ofher head.

These physiological effects could, of course,be entircly unrelaied and independent of theseevents, but they arc a factor in recording this

case.

These puzzling events occuned to an ordinaryhardworking family in their early thirties withtwo children, and have made a deep andlasting impression on each of them in the waythey view their perception of rcality. PaulAscough, the investigator commented, in hisreport that they werc a happily maried couplewit]l two sons, who werc intelligent and downto eanh in their attitude. He also remarkedthat neither one of them were overimaginative or had delusions of any kind andhad not been interested in the subject of UFOSprior to these experiences.

Due to probl€ms that evolved after theseevents between the two couples, Paul wasunable to interview the niece and hetboyfriend.

Hypnosis

Prior to BUFORA becoming involved in thiscase, another UFO group were contacted andregression hypnosis was used by rhis group inorder to establish what may have occurred. Ihave deliberately not given any details ofwhat emeryed from the hypnosis sessions dueto the BUFORA NIC's conlinuingmoratorium on the use of this method to elicitan objectiye ruth about the events. As anaddendum to this case, I will document part ofa recent interyiew that I conducted for StmngeTimes Magazine with Judy Jaafar, BUFORAAI and Vic€ Chairman for BUFORA. Thisconcems the use of hypnosis and memory andis very relevant to cases like this particularlyits unreliability and possible distortion in anunderstanding of inexplicable experiences asit represents a "truth" as understood by thewitness rather than an "obiective truth" aboutthe event.

Hypnosis in the above case with three of thewimesses created an aMuclion scenario.


whicb was not only a very real problem intheir tying to deal with whatev€r theseexperiences were, but also created some rcalteror for the lady involved and exacerbatedher fear about what may have occurred,demonstrating just one good reason for neverusing this method in these cases

Concluding comments

Sadly because of administrqtive problems, thewitnetses ,eerc not contacted until September1995. The husband had written a letter theday afler these events asking we respond as

soon as possible- Because they did not hear

from BUFOM, they contacted anotherorgonisation. Unfonunately because of this,BUFOM Investigator, Paul Ascough wasunable to visit the site of the alleged incidentuntil two months after the event, which wasmost unfo rtunate.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article,I have spoken with both witnesses during thelast month and it is interesting to record theircomments all these years on.Both feel, very strongly, that they canremember these ocperiences as though theywere yestetday and have not altered orchanged their mind about the confusing and

frogmented memories of that niqht. Bothparties and particulorly the lody are still veryanaious to know what happened that night-Even over six years on, the fear of drowingher bedroom curtains before sleeping remainsand she has never drawn her curtains at nightsince these events. The husband's psoriasishas never rctumed..

This case continues to remaiL unexplained-

As an addendum to the above case I amincluding an extruct frcm the cunenl issueof Strange Times Magazine when Icondvcted an interview with Ju.], IaaJatThese are her thoughls on the use ofhypnosis)

ALIEN ABDUCTION. HYPNOSISAND MEMORY: THE DEBATES

RAGE ON.

GHD: ludy, during your previous response

Jou mentioned memory and the verycontroversial issues going on here withtnemory rctieval. You have been enrolled ona course with the fu)ndon College of ClinicalHlpnosis oyer the past year, which has madeyou acutely aware of the problems concerningmemory and the w.ry il works. This is veryimportant in the arca of claims of alienabduction and the way regression hypnosishas been used in mant cases to elicit anobjective truth about these experiences. Thisis of course at the cutting edge of thetremendous problems in the area of abductionissues that have been creatin| continuingdebotes with the United States and the UK forsome time now. I would be very interested inyour thoughts in lhis area.

JJ: Ir mt readin| orer the years, particularlyinto alien abduction accounls from Americanresearchers, I have always felt veryuncomfortable when I ,,vas reading thetranscipts of hypnotic regressions. I alwayssuspected that in some wa! this n)asn't right.It was a gut feeling I had that this was not lhecoftect thing to do and what really botheredme about regression hypnosis was that thewitness does ot undefitand anything abouthypnosis- It is a very powedul tool and can bedangerous when used wrongly and no matlerwhat fantasy a witness might come up withduing hypnosis, it has to be remembered thatunder a hypnotic trance state, your capacity

fot imagination and fantasJ is probably


doubled or trebled.So whatever they come up with qs far as theabduction scenaio is concerned when the!talk about this throu9h hypnosis and whenthey take a recording or read the ffansciptafterwards, that has now beco e a real event

for them irrespective of whether it actuallyhappened or not. It is now rcal - and thatreally bothered me because I felt that we weredealing with somebod.y's mennl heahh here -

Jor the rcst oJ their lives. Because they'eebeen hypnottsed, they really believe that theymust be telling the absolute truth because theyhave this peculiar notion that hypnosis is likea truth drug, but it certainly isn't!They feel that this must have really happenedto them the way they imagined. it undethypnosis, and that is a huge responsibilitt fortheir therapist to take on and it is not one thatI would ever h,ant to do. These were nryfeelings about it before I ever studiedhypnosis and obviously it has been a bone ofcontention in ufological circles .for years now.BUFOM holds a moratoium on the use ofhypnosis and we have had problems fromother groups about this, so I decided, purelyout of curiosity and a desire to know, so that Icould make an informed judeement, that Iwould go and study hypnosis myself and jindout what this is all about. Wat it can do andwhat it can't do. When it should be used andwhen it shouldn't be used anl this what I havealmost completed now, I have completed nryfrst course, which means I am allowed topractise as a therapist. I am now doing afurther more in-depth course, which jinishesat the end of September and I'm afruid thatevery concem I had about hypnosis has beenconfirmed during this course, The literatuteabout hypnosis has been around for a verylong time and it was modern hypnosis thatwas pioneered during the latter part of thenineteenth century by some French doctorsworking in Paris. They were medical doctors,medically as well as psychologicallyqua\rted, and they took up hypnosis as ananperiment to Jind out what it was all about

and what they found out still stands toda!.Someone, who is und.er hypnosis is highlysuggestible, highly imaginative and.,something which is conyeniently forgottennowadays in hypnosis study , highlytelepathic. Experiments were conducted thatproved beyond a doubt, that certoin subjectswere highly telepathic undet hypnosis, muchfiore so than in 4 normal conscious state. No-one really knows how hypnosis works, butthere are actually eight different theories toexplain it and not one of them actuallyexplains it in full, but there will be a pan withwhich you can identify- A hypnotic trance is astrange situation.

One lhing that I've learned, which is actuallyvery interesting, is the problem of memoryretrieval under hypnosis. Memory as weunderstand it at the momenL is deemed to bepart of the unconscious min[ ot theconscious mind and when you expeienccanything, the Jirst avenue oJ experience is

lour sensory memory, which takes in all thedata on the spot, immediatel . h is thenpassed very quickly into your shot't termmemory where it is processed and if this isemotionall! significant enough for youremember it, to bing it out at o later date, itts then processed and coded into your long-kftn memory. Now long-term memory is afunction of the unconscious mind, not of thelogical, analytical, conscious mind Theu conscious does not work in language, loqic,reason, rationality - that is th conscious mind,The unconscious works in symbols andmetophors and images, which is therefore anon-verbal recording. Synbols, metaphors,euotions and perceptions; most people don'tkno$' that every single emotion you havecomes from your unconscious mind. and is noto product of Jout mental analysis of anything.That's why emotions ore so hard to deal with,you can't shut them off or turn them on,because they are part of your unconsciousnind- Memory also resides here in yourunconscious hind, so lou hove to understand


that snything that lou are memorising, @partfrom what we call conscious learning, whereyou have to memorise information say for qn

exam, that is a conscious process) or anythingyou are picking up perception-wise, feelings-wise, t your day+o-day life, will bypass yourconscious mind totally, and go slraighl intothe unconscious memory banks.The only way you can rclrievc thal memory isto 8o into the unconscious and pull it oul, but

tou cannot converse in logical language withthe unconscious mind It will bring forthsorhething that is a rhetaphor for what lou areactually looking for, so therefore when youare retrieving memories from your long lermmemory, it will be coming back as a series ofperceptions, images, feelings and. emotions. ltis very contextual and very dependeht on howit's being coded in the frst place. How youare going to retrieve it depends on all of thesethings. It is not a cut and dried process, unlikegoing to a video cabinet in your house andthinking ah that is the rideo I want to look atagain and pulling it out and i srill remainsthe same as when it was recorded This doesot happe r'eith memory - not at all. Once it

has been processed and then coded, thedecoding process is very complicated and willnol make you re-live an evetu, lt will give youa feeling of an event and it will concentratemoinly on tour feelings at that time, not onthe actual objective, chronological order ofIhings that were happening. It will pull thatout of your memory as a Jeeling, an ernotio4and a perception and this is wherc we come tolhe reau! sticl<J stufl aboul regressionhypnosis. You take someone back for exampleto 'missing time' where they hqve noconscious memory of anJ event, so thereforethe onalytical, logical, judgemental processcannot be brought to beat on the situation-ImmediatelJ the witness has to delve into their GHD: What are !or4 sLying here exactly,unconscious mind. which as I have explained Judy, that an event did actuall! occur duingis acnally an e otional storoge house, but this 'missing lime' in order for a person totheir retieved memory lhat they mal then perceite that they had on anomalouscome up with, is based on their emotionsl etperience?

feelings when the! arc being put under Jl: The witness will presentwith some kind ofBUFORA Magazine-October 2001-

hypnosis. If they are feaful that the! havebeen abducted by aliens because they have'missing time' and they have read about'aliens' and 'missing time' that fear will thenpresent in whatever memory they can come upv'ith then and if they are aJraid, they will havea fearful memory of an event in their pastbecause they actually have no logicalconscious memory of anything. They godirectly to the unconscious mind, which iswonderful, dreamlike fontasy factory- Il is soimportant in our lives, we need to be able todo this othetwise we wouldn't be doing it. Itsorts out all of your emotions, it is not like a.liling cabinet, it is not an archive, it is anemotional repository to access every day ofour lives; to keep our mental health balance.And this is what you are sending your witnessinto, totally unprepared, they don't know whatthey ore looking for ercept that they feel theyhave been abducted by aliens otherwise theywouldn't be with a ufologist in the first place.This is very obvious and they have alreadymade up their mind. that this is what musthave occurred and you go into yourunconscious with that conscious thought inyour head and it's very likely that you willcome up with a scenario where that is eractlywhat happened, because that is what you areexpecting. Your mind will accommodate youbeautifully and it goes into psycho-dramamode fi.lling in the spaces, confabulating,giving you meaning where there was nomeaning beJore. But the meaning is a purelyemotional, psychological meaning. Themeaning has no need necessarily to have anyobjective content at all,

MISSING TIME, EI.ECTROMAGNETICFIELDS AND BRAIN DYSFUNCTION

conscious memory of an event that has led ago, is the fulea thqt the electrical function ofthem to believe that something ,ttanqe has the brain can be disrupted. by so,nething in thehappened to them in a 'missing time' peiod environment and this is now betng widelyand consequently they will seek out a ufoLogist discussed by a number of serious researchers,or a paranormal researcher, so yoa know that I think this explanation may accolmt for athey are coming to you with their mind slgnirtcant percentage ofcases that have beenalreadJ set and this is very impotlant to reported. as LIFO related'missing time'whichunderstand. in fact were not at all. The IJ FO rclation is aMissing time itself can be a produa of many spurioas connectioL that has been fiade tothings and the most obvious thing is a total explain the missing time, where actuallJ themisperception of the passage of time- h 'missing time' may well be related to anhappens to us in our daily lives every day electrcmagnetic anomaly and the enrironmentwhere we go into a trance state several times that the witness has to pass through.

This is an example of exploined in much more logical scientifrchow often this happens to us, but if you have tenns.an event like seeing a light in the sky, which Given an understand.ing of the physiology ofyou Jind to be anomalous, it may well not be the brain, tha, is probably one oJ the malnst all: it doesn't matter whether it's really reasons for time slips and time anomalies asanomalous or not.

which I frst becone aware of several years individual elccffomegnetic feM or biological


freld has the capacity at times in their lives tointeract with a much larger environmenlal

field and when t\so of these fields cometogether there will be electrical changeswithin the body. Therefore this could account

for many episodes ofmissing time,GHD: Would you say that this could be quitea large percentages of cases in terms of yourown imtestigation?I.l: Yes, l would think this is a possibility inman' coses potticularly when you look atwhere 'missing time' reports come from- If,ou go out in the field, which manyinvestigators actually do not do, and surve!the envircnmenl, you mal rtnd that there is oscientific explanation for intemtpted brainactivity, which a psychologist would call afugue state where you have no memory ofwhat you were doing at the time. Not becauseyou weren't therc or not doing anything, butbecause the electrical signals in the brainwere scrambled, memory is not able to beprocessed or recorded and you are lejl with ablank space. So, iJ the memory has not beenprocessed or encoded, it is not there and noamount of regression hypnosis will ever bringback a memory that has never been depositedImaginative confabulalion will take over.

with someone, who has a memory of a badevenl or tauma ol some kind there is astandard technique used by therapists called'memory manipulation' or 't emorysubstitution.' This is very effective, in Jactfrighteningly ffictive, where Jou can takesomeone back to q memory that has beendisturbing Jor them, csusing then to beneurotic, ot ataious, or depressed. You cantake them back to this menory and take theninto it and then involve them in what is calledpyscho-drama, and this is all under hypnosiswhere it works very well. You can actually geta pe6on to retum to that eyent and pla! it adiffetent way, where their role then changesand they become more empowered and whereIhey become a protogonist rather thon avictim in the event and they can feel betterabout the way they handled lhe event in thepast.Thir is caried out surpisin&ly easily and loucan actuallJ substitute a new nemory for anold one to make that person able to cope andtheir lik better- You can manipulate thememory to enable them to renember anythingthe, . a t to remember and erase the oldmemory and at the end of a session like this

Jou can actually give a post-hrpnoticsuggestion to make them forget that the

When lherapy i,t being condlrcted find this very worrying, that therapists con do


this so easily- When they're doing it in athempy situation, it matbe the only way theycan go in order to help someone. In someways this d.oes justw the mean$ but certainlJnot durin| an investigation process, where itis so obvious to me how easy it is to changesomebody' s perceplion of an event and you'regoing to use lhat then as a tool to establish anobjective truth? Thit is not on at all.The more I have studied hypnosis, the more Iam in agreement with the moratorium lhotBUFOM holds on the use of hypnosis. I donot believe this should ever be lifted. Inaddition you hove to understand somethingabout memory, in a natural process wherememory is shunted to dead ends, shall we say,in the brain, where they are lejl and they arefor9often, this is a natural prccess and is ahealing process, Your mind cannot possibl!contain every single sensory memory lhat youever had- It would go into overload. so itselects what it needs to remembet and forgettehat it doesn't and when you keep asking awitness time and again about theiro.perience, when you keep hypnoticallyregrcssing them, v)hpn you keep pursuing

lhen, you are not allowing the naturalprocess of forgetfulness to happen, which is atherapeutic process in itself and this doesn'tho.ppen with lritnesses and I think this isterribly wrong, because you are not allowingmemory lo work in its proper wo!.,.,..,.

I hope that this has been inforrnetiye to someof our members on the way memory andhypnosis work in order to create anunderstanding of the controversial issuessurrounding hypnosis and its use in the UFOfield of study to elicit an alleged objectivetruth about claims of high slrangeness events.

WF'@FGnGID...

Dear Sir.

I was very intererted in the xrticles by CloriaDixon and by Brain Atlen in the April and

June issues of the BUFORA Bulletin, on thesuhjccr of fie events at Windwhistle Hill near

Chard in Somerset. The idea was proposedthat localised EM phenomena could be thetrigger fbr strange events. In the incident inSeptember l9?7. thc wajker fanrily recalJed

seeing a largc orarge light in the sky, beforethe car engine stalled and the lights failed.The engine could not be restarted, there was astrange silence. qhilc everylhing scemed tomole in "low

motion. and a hummingvibration was noted. On arriving home it wasalso noted that a period of about half an hourseemed to be unaccounted for. A few dayslater in t}le same area, they observed twofigu.es t the side of the road. One of these, a

very tall figure with impossibly long legs,crossed rhe road just in front of tle car,

while recently reviewing vehicle interfeience(VI) effect cases, I noted a case with somevery similar features, which occuned inDraguinar, France in October 1973. In thiscase a motorcyclist and his gi.lfriend reportedseeing an orange-yellow ball of light, with a

revolving halo, slowly travelling across thesky. Reluming later to the site with friends, astrange modulated sound was heard, alongwith a wave of heat. As the cars were beingdriven away, three figures were encountered -walking in a slow 'mechanical' manner, and

two 'red legs' were seen which crossed the

road ahead of the car. A little later the car


was suddenly thrown sideways off the road -then returned to the road again without anyaction taken by the driver (BUFORA VIReport Case 102)

It does seem evident that there are linksbetween some UFO reports and other eventswhich may be described as paranormal.

Particular locations seem to be the focus ofwhat is best described as 'materialisationphenomena', sometimes apparently linkedwith an energy source of some kind, as wellas temporal anomalies in some cases. We do,however, know that UFOS ol-ten indicate the

operation of intelligence, and itl has beenalready been said (By Arthur C Clarke) thatmanifestations of advanced technology couldappear to us to be indistinguishable liommagic.

Jenny Randles' new book Tirre,Storzrs - as

mentioned by Brian Allen also includes a

number of case reports vehicle effects whichwere included in the original BUFORA reportot 1979.

Yours sincerclyGeoff Falla

Geoff has recently been working on anupdate to the 1979 BUFORA VehicleInterference Report, and we hope to harethis published earl! in 2002.

I have to admit one aspect of VI that I findequally as puzzljng as the 'car stops' are ahe

cases of 'car restarts' - apparently of theirown volition.An intemal combustion engine requires morethan just an HT electrical current to start theengine - it requires compression of thecombustible fuevair mixture to enable it toreach its ignition cycle. In order to achievethis when it is stopped, it requircs a startermoto. to get the engine turning over - usuallyat considerably more than 500rpm to achievethis ignition cycle. If a modem car engine isstopped/stalled, the ignition switch will have

to be effectively 'reset' to engage the staftermotor (to prevent accidental engaging whenthe engine is running at high revs).So if the effects in a vehicle interference 'carstop' are purely electromagnetic in nature,causing the engine to stall - the key shouldneed tuming back to its 'start' position for theengine to spin and fire up - HT current alonewill not restart the engine!Does this suggest another factor otherthan 'just' elecbomagnetfu frcws?
