EDITORIAL
Well, here we go again with a new magazine and a new year. A quick heads up for our readers,
we will be producing a Spring Special Edition of Phenomena Magazine, this will have 100 pages
full of articles, news and reviews, but we will be making a nominal charge for this of £1 per copy.
This practically giving it away when you consider the content. More details will follow. Some of
the mail I receive relates to many of the articles that appear in the pages of this magazine, so
perhaps I should make something absolutely clear. Neither Steve nor I personally endorse or
promote everything we use. There is nothing sinister in this; it is simply because although we
keep and open mind we do not necessarily have to agree with everything that is said. We put it
in these pages purely to allow as wide a range of opinions to be expressed as we can, and that is
as it should be. I have to make this clear because some of the emails seem to imply that because
we print it we agree with it and that is not the case. This in some way reflects the reaction of
some members of the audience at conferences when I give one of my most popular presenta‐
tions, ‘Truth, Lies and Ufology’. I make absolutely clear at the very outset that I am sure we are
visited by non‐human, non‐earthly entities, but I dispute their point of origin. However this is
either ignored by audience members or not heard as their passions are stoked and this illus‐
trates the point I am making. As this New Year progresses we will print articles from various
sources giving all sorts of views and paradigms, hopefully you will all be entertained and who
knows: maybe even learn something new. A Happy (and safe) New Year to you all...

Page 03: The Grover’s Mill Syndrome. Brian Allan
The ‘Grover’s Mill’ referred to in the title, a real place in the American state New Jersey, reflects two
things; one is a unique occurrence in broadcasting and the other is how some UFO groups will accept noth‐
ing other than their own version of how Ufology operates. In 1938, a surprisingly large section of the radio
audience listening to a radio broadcast from the Orson Wells’ Mercury Theatre of the Air featuring H.G
Well’s ‘War of the Worlds’, demonstrated such a syndrome. Brian Allan explains…

In England, the magnificent seven were developed in the 1830s and 1840s.These were incredibly gorgeous
cities of the dead whose architects pulled much of their motif designs from the ancient Egyptians, who as
history has proven, were experts in entombing bodies with an expectation of freshness forever. America
had something nearly equally elegant in the Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, albeit 50 years later. Pat
Bussard takes delves into the Hollywood Forever Cemetery...

Page 13: The Age of Aetherius. Richard Lawrence
A strange prejudice exists, even among some spiritually‐minded people, that great and miraculous events
may have occurred in history, but do not happen now. And yet these are the most significant and danger‐
ous days we have ever lived through. If God exists – and I believe It does – Its presence would certainly be
felt today. And if the gods were ever to come among us – and I believe they have throughout our history –
this would surely be a time of their coming. Richard Lawrence explains...

Somewhere off in the distance an owl hoots hauntingly, its cries is the only sound to break the unnatural
stillness of the night. A light rain falls from above, running like icy claws down your neck. You shiver almost
uncontrollably, both from the chill and the terror seizing control of your mind as a misty form emerges
from the darkness and stretches an ethereal arm out towards you. Andrew Hind and Maria Da Silva take
you on a paranormal tour of haunted Niagara...

Page 21: UFOs in the Media. John Ventre
Last year, I was awarded the 2014 MUFON Symposium to manage in July of 2014 and we held it outside of
Philadelphia in Cherry Hill, NJ. I gave a lot of thought to the theme of the event and selected “UFOs and the
Media”. I thought it was a very pertinent topic and also knowing the mentality of people on the east coast,
I knew they needed a topic and speakers with showmanship as opposed to boring scientific reviews. I re‐
searched the topic for my lecture and presented the following… John Ventre provides details of his lecture.

The Manor House began its history as a 16th century Yeoman dwelling. The original house is a substantial
structure with large stone fireplaces on the ground floor with the remains of others in the bedrooms. John
Wilkinson inherited the estate in 1642 and sold it on to John Shawe, who was a man of some standing in
the community. He was a Captain, a Church Warden and a Constable during the Civil War. The Manor
House is known to be haunted and British Paranormal Investigations were there to check it out...

Page 37: Ascension: What exactly is that?
What is “Ascension?” When we hear the word “ascension” in the context of spirituality, what exactly does
that mean? Is the Earth and its inhabitants preparing for some kind of ascension to a Fifth Dimension? How
does one become an “Ascended Master?” And what does time‐travel, UFO’s, politics and money have to
do with it?... These were the kinds of questions that were attempted to be answered at the first annual
Ascension Portal conference in Mt Shasta City, California, USA on Sept 8‐10, 2014. Bret Lueder reveals…

An article titled "7 Huge Misconceptions about Aliens" by Natalie Wolchover has appeared recently on
several websites including Space.com; Life's Little Mysteries (prime site); and the Huffington Post (abridged

more common perceptions of the great unwashed. The following comments are my addressing of the com‐
mon misconceptions raised. John Prytz reveals his beliefs...

Ufology and the Grover’s Mill Syndrome ‐ By Brian Allan
More Whistle Blowing?
On October 10, Peter Maass and Laura Poitras writing for The
Intercept, released more Powerpoint slides from leaked NSA
documents concerning highly classified programs that are
hidden from public scrutiny. The documents, originally
leaked by Edward Snowden, reveal that “Sentry Eagle” is
used as an umbrella term for hiding the NSA’s most sensitive
programs that are classified “Exceptionally Controlled Infor‐
mation” (ECI).
Several Powerpoint slides show how ECI programs are hid‐
den beneath less classified programs as a cover. The leaked
documents support claims made 16 years earlier by Dan
Sherman, another NSA whistleblower, who revealed that he
worked in a secret communications program with alien
(extraterrestrial) entities that was hidden beneath less classi‐
fied NSA programs as a cover. The Intercept article discusses
a 13 page “brief sheet” about “Sentry Eagle”: “You are being
indoctrinated on Sentry Eagle,” the 2004 document begins,
before going on to list the most highly classified aspects of its
various programs.
It warns that the details of the Sentry Eagle programs are to be shared with only a “limited number” of people, and even then only with the approval of one of a handful of senior
intelligence officials, including the NSA director. Among the leaked power point slides is a set called “Core Secrets Slide Slices.” These slides (see slideshow) reveal how ECI pro‐
grams are only made available to a few select individuals within the Intelligence Community with a strict need to know access. Two of the slides show how Sentry Eagle acts as an
umbrella for hiding its most sensitive ECI programs under less classified programs. This supports the claims by Dan Sherman who worked for three years as an electronic intelli‐
gence specialist with the NSA. Dan Sherman served with the US Air Force for twelve years (1982‐1994), and received a number of awards including the Commendation Medal and
the Achievement Medal. He revealed that he was recruited into a classified program, "Project Preserve Destiny" (PPD), that was conducted under the auspices of the National
Security Agency (NSA). The training was for Sherman to become an “intuitive communicator” with extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs). Essentially, Sherman would learn to
telepathically interface with EBEs and pass on this information through a secure computer system to his handlers within the NSA. Sherman’s training for PPD was conducted at
the same time while training for a conventional military career in electronic intelligence (ELINT), which itself was classified. Sherman described that his ELINT training acted as a
cover for his participation in PPD that spanned a three year period (1991‐1994). In his book, Above Black: Project Preserve Destiny – Insider Account of Alien Contact and Govern‐
ment Cover‐Up (1998), Sherman revealed how he was recruited and trained in a way unknown to his normal ELINT military trainers. The training occurred over the same period as
his normal training in ELINT. When he was subsequently assigned to the NSA, Sherman worked on a specially designed computer where he could perform both his normal ELINT
work, and also work as an intuitive communicator with EBEs. This is how Sherman describes, in his 1998 book, the rational for hiding deep black alien related projects under the
umbrella of a less classified program: When someone is assigned to an alien project they are also assigned to the collateral black mission (cover mission). One of the reason for
this is if someone were to reveal any alien information, by extension, they would most likely reveal something about the cover project and it would be on this basis that someone
would be prosecuted for divulging classified information. (p. IX). Sherman’s claim of working within a deep black project hidden within a less classified NSA project has been
corroborated by the leaked NSA documents. “Sentry Eagle” operates precisely in the way described by Sherman’s account of his time working in two classified programs for the
NSA from 1991 to 1994.
The leaked NSA documents reveal that Sentry Eagle has six programs:
1. Sentry Hawk (for activities involving computer network exploitation, or spying), 2. Sentry Falcon (computer network defense), 3. Sentry Osprey (cooperation with the CIA and
other intelligence agencies), 4. Sentry Raven (breaking encryption systems), 5. Sentry Condor (computer network operations and attacks), 6. Sentry Owl (collaborations with
private companies).
Sherman’s claims that he was recruited from the USAF for the NSA alien program while training as an ELINT specialist with the USAF suggests that Project Preserve Destiny was
likely part of the Sentry Osprey program that involved cooperation between the NSA and other intelligence agencies. After officially retiring from the USAF and ending his classi‐
fied work with the NSA, Dan Sherman went public with his 1998 book in which he supplied documentation (see slideshow) of his training and work with the NSA as an electronic
intelligence specialist. Sherman’s claim made 16 years ago that he worked in a highly classified ("above black") program hidden within a less classified NSA "black" program has
not been corroborated until now with the leaked Snowden documents. Sherman’s claims suggest that within one or more of the NSA’s Sentry Eagle six compartments, there are
ongoing alien (extraterrestrial) projects that are hidden within less classified NSA cover programs. Snowden is also said to have been responsible for leaking three slides of UFO
images, however, according to Nigel Watson and numerous other ufologists, the images are old, well known and more than likely fake… (so… we are still none the wiser).

A group of fishermen got quite a shock when they pulled a terrifying prehis‐
toric shark from the water near Lakes Entrance in Victoria's east. The dark
brown, eel‐like looking creature is a frilled shark, also known as the 'living
fossil', and was named for its six pairs of frill‐like gills along with its dorsal
fins, similar to the predatory fish. The shark's origin dates back 80 million
years and is only one of two species still alive from this period. South East
Trawl Fishing Association (SETFA) chief executive Simon Boag told the ABC
the men who found the shark were puzzled by their find. 'It has 300 teeth
over 25 rows, so once you're in that mouth, you're not coming out,' he said.
'Good for dentists, but it is a freaky thing. I don't think you would want to
show it to little children before they went to bed.' Mr. Boag said this was the
first sighting of the species alive by humans. 'It does look 80 million years old.
It looks prehistoric, it looks like it's from another time,' he said. The shark
that was pulled from the water was two metres long and caught at 700 me‐
tres. Usually the species is found deeper at 1,500 metres but it rare to find
them below 1,200 metres, according to the SETFA website.

Title: The Heretic’s Notebook
Editor: James deMeo
Publisher: Natural Energy Works
ISBN: 9780980231656
Price: Not Known
The full title of the book hardly rolls off the tongue, it is called, ‘The Heretic’s Notebook: Emotions, Protocells, Ether‐Drift and Cos‐
mic Life Energy: with New Research Supporting Wilhelm Reich’. This is an A4 sized part‐work comprising a series of articles by
various authors and all of the chapters concern various aspects of the highly controversial research carried out by the late Wilhelm
Reich. The work is of fair length and comprises 265 pages of assorted opinions in praise of what Reich claimed to do. This review
cannot do justice to the sheer complexity of the contents, but what is covered involves the origins of life, Bion and Biogenisis re‐
search, the experiments of Dayton Millar and the theory of relativity, the Orgone Field, consciousness research and orgone energy,
so‐called ‘free energy’, UFO’s (yes, they also turn up) and the book also finds space to (quite rightly) take a solid swing at the nega‐
tivity and debunking of organisations like CSICOP (now just called CSI). Be warned though, this is not a ‘light read at bedtime’; this
is a book that needs to be carefully studied to learn what Wilhelm Reich was about.
That said, it is also fair to say that Reich tried to take a natural force (also known as Prana, Chi, and Odic Force among other terms) that has been known
about for millennia and make it available ‘on tap’ so to speak, rather than through spiritual or ‘psychic’ means. However, for anyone with an interest in
fringe science and unique belief systems this is very much for you.
Title: The Dream‐Quest of Unknown Kadath
Author: H.P. Lovecraft, recreated by I.L.J Culbard
Publisher: Self Made Hero
ISBN: 978‐1‐906838‐85‐0
Price: £14.99
Well, if ever there was an author whose works called out to be published in graphic form it is the remarkable and sadly long de‐
parted Howard Philips (HP) Lovecraft and in the artist I.L.J. Culbard we find the ideal outlet. Lovecraft and his eldritch creations
have been portrayed a couple of time in the cinema, but less often in graphic form. The work is a lavish and sensitive interpreta‐
tion of one of Lovecraft’s less known and less ‘in‐your‐face’ works, i.e. ‘The Dream‐Quest of Unknown Kadath’, in which out hero,
Randolph Carter, attempts to reach the strange and hauntingly beautiful city he sees in a series of dreams. This tale is absolutely
typical of Lovecraft and the magickal web he weaves in his stories of other realms and dimensions. Culbard manages to capture
the haunting beauty of the dreams and also the bizarre and unsettling images of entities like the ‘zoogs’, ‘gugs’ and ‘night‐gaunts’
encountered by Carter in his quest.
He only achieves this by invoking the bizarre guardians who exist in Kadath, the home of the Gods, in this eerie and fascinating dream‐world of Lovecraft’s
creations. Overall this is a splendid example of the illustrators’ art and a fitting celebration and tribute the memory of Lovecraft.
Title: Contagion: In the Shadow of the South Shields Poltergeist
Author: Darren W. Ritson & Michael J. Hallowell
Publisher: The Limbury Press
ISNB: 9‐780956‐522894
Price: £12.99
Given that this insightful, well written and abundantly illustrated book is about the phenomenon of poltergeists, the title,
‘Contagion’, just about says it all, why? Because as Mike Hallowell and Darren Ritson discovered, their prior involvement with the
notorious South Shields Poltergeist returned to haunt them (no pun intended) like the effects of particularly toxic and noxious
disease. However this is not just another book about poltergeists and what they do, this is a harrowing expose of the unintended
and unforeseen consequences of investigating paranormal phenomena. This reviewer has experienced similar events twice at first
hand, trust me it is real and it can and does happen, it was an unwelcome and unexpected example of ‘bringing your work home
with you.’ Although the book often references the original notorious South Shields case, it looks further afield at the risks of deal‐
ing with the frequently malign entities that inhabit the unseen world around us. This is like an invisible spider’s web of spite and
malice that seems to lock‐on to and affect individuals who were not directly involved with the phenomenon, but came into (or
were brought into) contact with aspects of it. There is no good reason why this happens either; it is almost as if for their own unfathomable reasons these
entities (and they may not necessarily be poltergeists either) do it simply because they can. The authors manage two objectives here, first they present a
workable hypothesis to explain the mechanism by which poltergeist phenomena functions and that may be electrical energy, and second they give an en‐
tirely new paradigm on the nature of the poltergeist phenomenon itself, i.e. that the poltergeist is in fact a gestalt being; in other words part of a collective
‘hive mind’. Make no mistake about it, this is a first class piece of writing that pulls no punches and documents the negative effects of the phenomena very
well indeed and it should serve as salutary warning to those who indulge in ‘ghost busting’ as a casual pastime. Be warned, this can be a dangerous pursuit
and sometimes it goes very badly wrong indeed. This excellent book makes an essential addition to the bookshelf of the merely curious and the serious
researcher alike, so buy it, read it and take note!!

What is “Ascension?” When we hear the word “ascension” in the
context of spirituality, what exactly does that mean? Is the Earth
and its inhabitants preparing for some kind of ascension to a
Fifth Dimension? How does one become an “Ascended Master?”
And what does time-travel, UFO’s, politics and money have to do

Then someone distracted him before my
foggy mind could formulate a question. I
knew that I would be volunteering in some
fashion but wasn’t sure what I’d be doing.
So I went to the podium to check with
Potter. But with no answer immediately
forthcoming, as he was being pulled in
multiple directions, I decided to go sit back
down. Several people who saw me at the
podium began to ask me for information
regarding the Stupa trip and I simply could
not answer them. I took a deep breath. It
took all the meditative skills I could muster
to not react to the situation. “Maybe read‐
ing all those books, attempts at meditation
and much exercise were making me more
sensitive after all?” I thought to myself.

conference attendees starting that Friday
morning. The attendees would then be
shuttled a short distance to the event.
“Apparently the Forest Service had other

ence organizer, Internet talk‐radio show
host and Contactee. “It was unexpected but
alternative parking was found and every‐
thing turned out OK.”
When Potter showed up early that morning
there was a large crane, which he was told,

January 3, 4 - Quadrantids Meteor Shower. The Quadrantids is an above average shower, with up to 40 meteors per
hour at its peak. It is thought to be produced by dust grains left behind by an extinct comet known as 2003 EH1, which
was discovered in 2003. The shower runs annually from January 1-5. It peaks this year on the night of the 3rd and morn-
ing of the 4th. Unfortunately the nearly full moon will block out all but the brightest meteors this year. Best viewing will be
from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Bootes, but can appear anywhere in the
sky.
January 5 - Full Moon. The Moon will be directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and will be fully illuminated as seen
from Earth. This phase occurs at 04:53 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Wolf
Moon because this was the time of year when hungry wolf packs howled outside their camps. This moon has also been
know as the Old Moon and the Moon After Yule.
January 20 - New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth.
This phase occurs at 13:14 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and
star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.

Title: The Witches of East End
Cast: Julia Ormond, Madchen Amick, Rachael Boston, Eric Winter, Christian Cook
Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Format: DVD and Blu‐Ray
Price: £18 on Amazon
For anyone who remembers the old TV series ‘Bewitched’ with the nose twitching, human (and family) friendly witch Samantha, well, you can
forget it. It kind of reminds me of another witch themed and slightly more grown‐up show called ‘Charmed’ and in a good way too. The plot con‐
cerns a mother, Joanna, played by Julia Ormond, who lives with her daughters in a small coastal town and is trying to keep her offspring, Freya
and Ingrid, although they have magical powers, unaware that they are the next generation of powerful witches. In addition there is also an ancient
curse causing the daughters to die every thirty years, when their mother, who is immortal, becomes pregnant with them again and the cycle per‐
petuates.
However her plans are thwarted when her estranged sister arrives and forces the family to confront their destiny. There is plenty of magical action and decent effects
too, so overall this an eminently entertaining and watchable series and what makes it even better is that it does not rely on graphic nudity, sex and violence to pull in an
audience…most refreshing so well done them!
(Some good scenes and a not bad story line. Vert watchable. Though I did enjoy this series, it was a typical U.S. TV show that we have all seen many times… Worth a
watch, but nothing to really write home about… PM).

An article titled "7 Huge Misconceptions about Aliens" by Natalie Wolchover has appeared
recently on several websites including Space.com; Life's Little Mysteries (prime site); and the
Huffington Post (abridged to just five). It's all about how scientists view the existence and
nature of advanced ET as opposed to the more common perceptions of the great unwashed.
The following comments are my addressing of the common misconceptions raised. Let's see if
I agree or disagree with the verdicts, and most important, why. Oh, of course the "THEY"
referred to is our intelligent and technologically advanced ET...

We share some genetics and DNA with the
petunia. Mythology: One would be hard
pressed to find a culture who's mythology
didn't include examples of their ‘gods' mat‐
ing with us mere mortals. Greek mythology
is a no‐brainer given the ever randy Zeus.
Biblical mythology also records sex between
the ‘sons of god' and the ‘daughters of
men'. Now do scientists accept all of the
multi‐thousands of deities of the world's
cultures as supernatural entities? ‐ Probably
not. That then leaves them a choice be‐
tween all of these deities being as 100%
fictional as the Easter Bunny and Sherlock
Holmes, or else they are aliens. To me,
probability dictates that the more logical
option of the two is ET – a speculation that
also solves the Fermi Paradox – "where is
everybody?"
The Fermi Paradox can be summed up sim‐
