The 1948 Aztec, NM downed UFO retrieval story is one of saucerdom's legends that seems to have defied all the attempts to explain it away as a clumsy and very obvious hoax. However, the many "resurrections" of this story, n various forms, is just about as remarkable and interesting as the original tale itself. In fact, one fellow on the Internet describes it as the "Dracula" of saucerdom which simply will not die no matter how many stakes are driven through its hear	9-15

Frank John REID	Curtis Peebles, the X-15 and Angela’s Ashes I'd just dragged myself through Frank McCourt's depressing "Angela's Ashes" when I read Curtis Peebles's "The Case of the Vanishing X-15 Pilot." I grew up Catholic in the 1940s and 50s, in an American Church that rather envied the holiness of Ireland. And so I was able to understand, for example, McCourt's reminiscence of rushing around Limerick, tearing one page out of an issue of "John O'London's Weekly" which his employer had earlier distributed, because that page discussed birth control. And so I was able to understand Peebles's article.	16-17

	Editorial Notes	2

Curtis PEEBLES	The Case of the Vanishing X-15 Pilot The publication of Ann Druffel's book, Firestorm: Dr. James M. McDonald,s Fight For UFO Science, was met with a mixed reception among believers and skeptics alike. The book gave an inside account of the highly respected atmospheric physicist's involvement with UFOs. At the same time, many readers objected to Druffel's attempts to include Roswell and MJ-12 in the account, as well as the book's technical and historical errors. McDonald's notebooks, in which he recorded his day-to-day activities formed the basis of the book. These notebooks included summaries of numerous phone calls, notes on trips, events in his struggle with the University of Colorado UFO study, headed by Dr. Edward U. Condon, and McDonald's efforts to arrange congressional hearings on UFOs.	3-7

David SIVIER	The Victorian Charm of the Protong One of the strangest responses to the religious furore surrounding the release of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ in 2004 was that of veteran fringe writer, Stan Gooch. While other writers and academics feared that the graphic depiction of Christ's suffering would provoke a further rise in violent anti-Semitism amid a resurgence of extreme Right wing political groups in Europe, and the renewed intifada in the Arab world, Gooch took the opportunity of the film's release to expound his own, very personal theory that Christianity owed its origins to a secret lunar cult.	8-16

Andy ROBERTS	A Saucer Full of Secrets The word hippie conjures visions of brightly-clad young people rebelling against society whilst advocating peace, free love and the right to alter their consciousness when and how they chose. It's an appealing image, but one straight out of the imagination of a Daily Mail reader. For behind the fashions and fads, the hippie Underground movement in the UK was responsible for the greatest expansion of interest and belief in fortean phenomena in the last few centuries	3-8

Gareth J. MEDWAY	A Man Who Would be King The Fortean Times recently (September 2004) noted the death of Pierre Plantard, also known as Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, Count of Saint-Clair and Count of Rhedae, one time Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, who had passed on in 2000. The FT remarked that he was "either an incredibly important man or a huge dreamer and practical joker''.

	Editorial Notes	2

David SIVIER	Visions Before Midnight. Witchcraft. Folklore and the Prehistory of the Abduction Phenomenon Ever since Vallee and Keel put pen, or typewriter ribbon to paper in the 70s, it's been an axiom among proponents of the psychosocial hypothesis that the UFO phenomenon is merely the modem variant of a range of paranormal encounters and visitations by supernatural others. Despite their technological trappings, modem UFO sightings are merely the scientistic expression of deep religious and mystical impulses from within the human psyche, impulses, which have given rise to previous ages' myths of encounters with angels, demons, elves and ghosts.	3-9

Michael McHUGH	Alien Mimicry in Popular Culture If aliens ever came to earth to trade, raid or simply take pictures for Galactic Geographic magazine, it always seemed to me that they would do so by disguising themselves and their technology in such a way that they simply blended in with the natives as much as possible. Either that, or they would hire locals to do much of the work for them and act as guides and interpreters. Even on earth, people who need to work or do business in foreign countries do this all the time, and also try to learn something of the native language and customs before they go.	9-14

Mark NEWBROOK	The Aliens Speak - and Write Many UFO reports involve linguistic or quasi-linguistic phenomena: scripts loosely resembling hieroglyphics or Indian devanagari associated with crashed UFOs, long stretches of 'speech channelled from alien entities or produced by self-described contactees, alleged telepathic messages with specific content, etc, etc. In the ufological literature, however, we seldom find any qualified linguistic analysis of the various claims and experiences.	3-8

David SIVIER	Mindscapes For Forteans, it is axiomatic that the exclusion of the weird and the bizarre from the modern rationalistic weltanschauung began in the seventeenth century with the rise of institutional Science. "The power, that has said to all these things that they are damned, is Dogmatic Science", as Fort himself said at the very beginning of the Book of the Damned	3-11

Martin KOTTMEYER	The Alien Carried Paperwork In March 1980, a young rural Pennsylvania couple was interviewed concerning an experience they shared aboard an alien craft. A person attending a lecture on UFOs given by Eugenie Macer-Story told her about the couple’s experiences. She travelled to their home – they had no telephone – and they cordially allowed her to tape the story of their encounters with the aliens. Frank and Alice had not contacted any UFO organisation and there was no use of hypnosis at any point preceding or during Macer-Story’s interview.	12-14

	Budd HOPKINS, Carol RAINEY, SIGHT UNSEEN Let us take breath here and understand quite how dangerous Hopkins is now becoming. People have a natural tendency to fear the 'Other' and can be easily tempted to hate and fear anyone who seems just a little bit odd and different. Now the 'Other' are no longer safe on the spaceship, but down the road, where bricks and worse can be thrown through their window. Hopkins is licensing new forms of persecution.	17-18

Matt GRAEBER	Ufoology: As Much Fun as a Barrelful of Aliens About ten years ago, I coined the term "UFOOLOGY" in a letter to James "Jim" Moseley, who is the pubisher and editor of the nation's longest-running newsletter on the UFO enigma. Jim's Saucer Smear is legendary as a gossip and scandal sheet that has been exposing the intellectual short-comings and indiscretions of the self-appointed UFO experts, some of their "star-witnesses" and, of course, the UFO group leaders that have endorsed the rantings of these individuals	9-12

Matt GRAEBER	The Raefield Affair In Magonia 78 (June 2002) Matt Graeber discussed a 'down-to-earth' variety of UFO experience that he called 'a dynamic display'. Graeber believes that such displays are "unique symbolic dramatisations" of the observer's personal life status at the time of their UFO encounter; and that the UFO event seems to reflect both the 'situational' and 'confrontational' character of the witness's problems. In this case study he takes another look at a dynamic display (or UFO 'self perception) that took place on a busy highway in broad daylight.	12-15

This provides a case study of belief, the interactions between believers and sceptics, how evidence is presented, and how it is accepted or rejected.	3-10
