UFO Times Number 27 January/February 1994

This issue of UFO Times (Number 27, January/February 1994) serves as a compilation of reports, editorials, and research articles concerning the UFO phenomenon, with a heavy emphasis on abduction experiences and the internal politics of the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). The editorial by Ken Phillips addresses the controversy surrounding the 'Witness Support Group' (WSG), detailing incidents of intimidation and the challenges of managing traumatized witnesses. Gordon Millington provides an analysis of the 'abduction experience,' categorizing encounters into 'objective' and 'subjective' types and discussing the cases of Ed Walters, John and Sue Day, and Travis Walton. T.E. Beardon contributes a technical article on the 'Quantum Mechanical Vacuum' and scalar potentials, arguing for a new understanding of electromagnetics. The 'European Dimension' section features reports on German sightings, including a triangular object observed in Weissenstadt in 1982, and provides snapshots of paranormal activity in Russia, supplied by A. Priyma. A case report on 'The Quantock Horror' details the ongoing suffering of Tony Burford, who claims to have been affected by radiation or an 'implant' following a 1988 encounter. Another case report, 'The Unspeakable,' recounts the abduction experience of Ros Reynolds-Parnham, who reported missing time and physical trauma. The issue also includes reviews of the video 'Roswell Part II' and Richard L. Thompson's book 'Alien Identities,' alongside administrative updates regarding BUFORA's leadership, including the transition of the Director of Investigations role from Jenny Randles to Philip Mantle. The publication concludes with a 'Contact Corner' for members and announcements of upcoming lectures at Westminster University.
