Just putting the finishing touches to the new issue, which will be out in the next 48 hours, and thought I'd share a couple of sneak peaks.
First up is an interview with USAF veteran Jeremy McGowan who has built a SkyHub unit and attached it to his Land Rover making it the world's first mobile SkyHub unit! We spoke with Jeremy about his project and also his sighting in the Jordanian desert in 1995. We also speak with Richard Hopf and Chris Cogswell of SkyHub in a special feature on the project.
We also have an interview with author Constance Briggs about her new book The Encyclopaedia of Moon Mysteries. We had fun with this bouncing some theories about the nature of our satellite and whether or not it's natural, even so far as discussing the oral traditions of indigenous tribes that reported a time before the moon was in the sky.
There's an interview with Chris and Ryan Bledsoe too, as they tell their story about the incredible prevalence of unexplained activity and encounters that seem to follow the family.
We also have features on the Masuda Stone Ship, Charles Dellschau, the legend of the tribe of Akakor, foo fighters, the 20th anniversary of Nick Cook's book The Hunt For Zero Point and we ask the organiser of The Big Phone Home inititative, Luis Jimenez how we can get involved in pressuring elected officials to lobby for the end of UAP secrecy. There's loads more good stuff too.
Lastly I wanted to share this from our conversation with Nick Cook regarding Bob Lazar.
"Around about the time… just before that article ‘The G Engines are Coming’, landed on my desk at Jane’s, I had read a book by Timothy Goode. In it Bob Lazar was referenced and for the first time Groom Lake, as I had known it in its association with test work for stealth, the U2 and other top secret air force projects, was given a new name - Area 51. A couple of years later, I was going about my day job for Jane’s but by now I was secretly researching this antigravity stuff. So a colleague of mine, who’d also read the book, and I decided to jump in a car and go on to sort of classified journey across the south-western United States. So we started in California and we took in Groom Lake - Area 51 - in the hope that we would see what Bob Lazar said you would see if you stood on a hill every Wednesday at nine o’clock.
"I remember it was March, it was really cold, and we were driving along in the desert. It was getting very dark again and out of this low cloud base looms this now very famous sign for the Little A’le’inn in Rachel and both of us were tired, it had been a long journey to there, and we just thought; ‘Where the hell have we landed?’ Then, as naïve 20-somethings, we camped out on the edge of Area 51, seeing what we could see. And we don’t see anything. I mean, nothing. We just got extremely cold and that was my introduction to Area 51.
"We actually did drive up to the fence and got stopped by guards and turned back. We said we were British tourists and we were lost! I have been back multiple times since to make documentaries and I have seen the odd strange thing in the sky, but I don’t think it’s anything that conforms to anything that Bob Lazar had had been talking about. Now, that is not to say that I don’t believe him, I’m just saying I’m always incredibly careful and I don’t talk about things that I don’t know about.
"During my apprenticeship in journalism, I had some fantastic mentors and some of them were quite crusty, and that was one of the things they really drilled into me, which is don’t talk about anything you don’t know about with certainty or knowledge because it’ll land you in trouble. I’ve tried to stick by that maxim."
That's all for now. There will be another post once the issue is finished with details of where to read online or, as usual, download in PDF format for free.
