A Personal Announcement from Dr. Richard Boylan, PhD and The Khoury Case (Australia)

This document, published in the Flying Saucer Review, contains a personal announcement from Dr. Richard Boylan, PhD, dated November 7, 1999, regarding his shift in focus concerning the UFO phenomenon. Dr. Boylan declares that due to threats against his family from a 'consortium of private sector and rogue governmental operations,' he will cease public writing on the science and technology of UFOs and the 'down-and-dirty side of the UFO cover-up.' Instead, he intends to focus on the spiritual, mental, and metaphysical aspects of extraterrestrial interaction. The document also includes commentary from the editor of the Flying Saucer Review, who discusses the harassment of other researchers, specifically Dr. Roger K. Leir, who faced legal and professional difficulties following his work on alien implants. The editor references the death of Hilda Murrell and the experiences of British Sergeant Tony Dodd as evidence of a pattern of intimidation against those investigating the UFO phenomenon. Finally, the document details the 'Khoury Case' in Australia, reported by Gordon Creighton. Peter Khoury, an Australian resident, reported an abduction incident on July 12, 1988, involving three or four dark-robed, golden-hued figures with black eyes. Khoury described being paralyzed, receiving telepathic messages, and having a needle-like tube inserted into his head. He later discovered a puncture wound and experienced missing time. The account notes that Khoury identified the creatures as similar to those described in Whitley Strieber's book, Communion.
