Flying Saucer Review, Volume 43/2, Summer 1998

This issue of Flying Saucer Review (Volume 43/2, Summer 1998) serves as a compilation of reports, profiles, and editorial commentary regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). The editorial by Gordon Creighton challenges the official narrative surrounding the Roswell incident and Colonel Philip Corso's book, suggesting that the government is using 'Roswell' as a convenient cover for a much deeper, long-term concealment of an alien presence. The issue features a profile on Professor Archie E. Roy, a distinguished British scientist and expert in parapsychology, highlighting his interest in crop circles and reincarnation. A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to reports from Puerto Rico, specifically the El Yunque National Forest, where witnesses, including police officers and civilians, reported encounters with humanoid entities. These reports are linked by Jorge Martín to the 'Chupacabras' phenomenon. The magazine also covers historical incidents, such as the 1966 Malmstrom Air Force Base missile interference case and the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident, with Creighton arguing that these events demonstrate a pattern of surveillance of nuclear assets. A report on a 'buried UFO' in Estonia is included, detailing an alleged 1980s discovery of a metallic object on a collective farm that was subsequently confiscated by Soviet authorities. Additionally, the issue contains a personal account by a French couple, 'Monsieur and Madame C.', describing long-term contact experiences, including physical paralysis and medical anomalies. The magazine concludes with a 'Stop Press' section addressing a controversy regarding Professor Robert G. Jahn and the Pear Laboratory, and provides a list of books and journals for further study. Throughout the text, the editor maintains a critical stance toward government secrecy, suggesting that the 'blackout' of information is a deliberate strategy to prevent public awareness of non-terrestrial technology and the potential for inter-alien conflicts.
