ODYSSEY On-Line Editorial Vol2 #1
"the dearth that follows here does not reflect the views of
Jerry Woody nor ODYSSEY Network. This stuff comes from us!
John & Gail Feilke - Directors of BBS Mgmt."
WHAT's THE DEAL HERE?!?!?!
Well folks it's time to climb back on the old soapbox
and spout again. The topic this time is "Making Mega-Bucks"
Don't know about y'all, but we here at KRALIZEC have
been SWAMPED lately by mailed advertisments shilling every
type of UFO & Paranormal media available, at a price of
course. I won't mention any names here (can't afford any
libel suits) but these folks have offered the following:
videos, posters, books, pictures, copies of offical
documents, convention tickets, crystals, catalogs, ect,ect.
First off, where the hell do "they" get our names and
address's? 2nd, how do you get them to stop? But that's not
what ticks us off. What does is that there are people out
there making a hell-of-a-lot of money by re-cycling the same
old stuff over and over and catching the newbies (not us
savvy old pros) and milking them for BIG bucks. Funny thing
but 20 or so years ago there was none of this going on. You
had a few books (paperback) and two organizations, NICAP &
APRO and two or three magazines. These folks were in it not
for the money, but for the explanation of the UFO Enigma. You
would think with all the money being poured into this that
there would be some sort of break-thru in respect to
explaning these damned UFOs! But not so true believer, no
these bucks are going into bank accounts. And then the cycle
starts over again. Is this not defeating our purpose of
finding out what's going on? And more important, only the
ones that can pay are getting the information! Kinda mimics
the government does it not, if you have money then you get
the best treatment (police, firemen, ect,ect) But then again
maybe the government is running the "whole UFO show", and
there is always strings being pulled from the top, where and
who is the top??
Ok, enuf for now! bout to run outta lines and we don't
want to see what happens if we go over(don't want to re-type
this) We want to start a "letters to the editor" section
here. If you have a beef, death-threat, want to see
something, love-letter, or a compliment. Send them to:
KRALIZEC 300/14.400 baud 1:379/103
or snail-mail them to:

ODYSSEY On-Line Newsclippings
These Come From My Friend Peter Cox, Living In London,
England.
DEMON SEED
A 17-year-old girl living in a "manproof" nunnery in Sicily
claimed that the devil made her pregnant. The girl was never
alone while in care, except in bed. Her parents didn't
believe her and police were investigating.
TODAY - December 14, 1990
COLOUR ME SILVER
Andrew and Julie Lindley looked on in astonishment as their
house in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, turned siver before their
eyes. Furniture, doors, and windows changed colourand started
to shine, as did some jellies, tomatoes and the feet of their
11-year-old daughter Rebecca. The Outside of the house was
coated with a silvery dust, though neighbouring houses were
untouched. Council officals took away samples for testing.
DAILY MIRROR - October 26, 1991
CENTRAL ASIAN UFOs
Soviet Scientists at a UFO conference in Munich in June 1990
claimed that leaked documents and a picture of UFO wreckage
showed that two MIG 25 fighters had intercepted a UFO in a
remote region of Azerbaijan in March 1983. They fired two
rockets when it turned on a collision course. The pilot's
report said the UFO turned a bright colour and fell to Earth.
The wreckage was discovered by mushroom pickers who later
died - seemingly from radiation.
DAILY EXPRESS / DAILY MAIL - June 25, 1990
Further east during the past year, nomads in the remotest
areas of Mongolia's vast territory have ofter reported seeing
visitors from another planet who look like human beings but
speak no language, communicating only by telepathy. One of
the sightings was by a woman who was flown over the capital,
Ulan Bator, in a spaceship.
THE TIMES - July 25, 1991
WEIRDNESS
A woman ripped out her sister's tongue piece by piece with
her fingernails while the two were in jail in Chester, South
Carolina. Donna Doxie, 24, told police she was removing a
demon from her sister, Melody Shelton, 26. Ms Shelton
apparently did not resist.
AP - October 10, 1991
A couple from Tomelilla in Sweden were driving down a road to
Lake Snogeholm, south of Sjobo in Scania, when a large bream
(fish?? J&GF), fell from the sky and smashed their windscreen

US AND "THEM"
by Andy Roberts
Fortean Times Feb-Mar 1992
ET or not ET? But is that the question? After forty-one
years of UFO research the main theory id that, yes, they are
extraterrestial in origin. But "how" do we know this? Mainly,
because that's how we would like them to be. In some cases
'they' have been kind enough to tell us. For instance Betty
Hill - one of the first famous abductees - recalled, under
hypnosis, a star map since interpreted as showing the
formation Zeta Reticuli; a location popular in ufolore ever
since.
But it's a long way from Zeta Reticuli to Earth simplty
to do pointless gynaecological experiments on humans; and
let's face it, bearing in mind their past failures -
Adamski's aliens told him they came from the Moon! - would
you believe an alien anyway? Like the spirits of mediumship,
the discourses of angles and the news from fairyland, the
alien message is one of deception, not information. So why do
people still listen and belive they come from 'out there'?
Ufologist Budd Hopkins has taken a pragmetic view,
reasoning that it's not where they come from that matters but
what they are doing while here. An interesting approach but
essentially a useless one if we can only infer what 'they'
are and where 'they' come from by their percieved actions.
This brings us back to the problem with fairies, discarnate
spirits, and angles; the universe can't be so crowded as to
accommodate them all, can it? If it is, we seem to be the
only sane entities among a cosmic population of liars,
deceivers and body-snatchers. Are we looking in the wrong
place for the source of these aliens?
Following a Close Encounter he had one Christmas, writer
Whitley Strieber wrote "Communion" and its sequel
"Transformation", highly personal accounts of his experiences
with the 'visitors', as he called them, and became the major
populariser of the UFO subject in the 1980's. Strieber never
thought they were extraterrestrials, but his honest ambiguity
played into the hands of those who did and claimed him as one
of their own.
Recently, Strieber issued a statement indicating his
thoughts about the source of all alien contacts: "The
abduction reports [UFO investigators] generate are not real.
They are artifacts of hypnosis and cultural conditioning. We
are experiencing a perceptual anomaly that is sufficiently
ambigous and intense that it demands explaination. It is
something that human beings have been experiencing for a long
time. It is the cause of the 'alien abduction' belief. What
is really behind these experiences? We are. This is a human
thing. However, I would say that we, and our world, are
vastly different and far more strange than we have ever
dreamed or dared imagine." With this, Strieber leans toward a
OO 4-07 Page 9 11 Apr 1992
more broad-based, Fortean interpretation of phenomena than
the 'us and them' view of traditional ufology.
Of all the theories about the origin of UFOs, the
possibility that they emanate from ourselves, here and now,
is persistently discarded as though somehow neither we nor
our planet have any remaining mystery. What a condescending,
shallow, and narrow-minded view of the human species and
Nature herself! Natural phenomena, the mysteries of the
psyche (both social and individual), and how these interact
to create mythologies, are far more interesting than the
belief that in some distant galaxy aliens are packing their
kitbags with sharp instruments for anothe trip into some
luckless earthling's bedroom.
As yet, no evidence of the extraterrestrial nature of
UFOs has successfully withstood the tests of time or serious
investigation.It is simply a belief.Strieber is correct, but
will probably be ignored; his assessment will slip away from
memory to be lost, like the mystery itself, in the forest of
beliefs and suppositions.
The UFO phenomenon seems to be a planetary, human-based
phenomenon comprising a complex mixture of factors. As
ufologist John Keel said in these very pages: "We are the
intelligence which controls the phenomena...". We have been
misleading ourselves. It is high time we began to solve the
mystery of our own being, rather than abnegating
responsibility to the rather incompetent pilots of the silver
spaceships with their toy-town technology and exaggerated
interest in our genitalia.

time to edit his own quarterly magazine UFO BRIGANTIA which
