New In The Magonia Archive
I'm cheerful to say that we have even more option latest article to Magonia's online records, which had not before been published in the print magazine. It's by UFOlogist-turned-religious-studies-professor-turned-novelist David Halperin, who writes:

"Magonia has been a quality of UFOlogical harangue for even more than forty time, the same as Jacques Vallee published his standard "Identification to Magonia". Since was the latest Magonia, mentioned in a 9th-century Latin journalism by Archbishop Agobard of Lyon? Who were the four battle - three men, one animal - held to have fallen to earth from a Magonian airship?"

He compares Agobard's story plus a 17th-century sighting of a be over group of four on the moon, and comes to specific scandalous conclusions.

Fortean Researcher John A Keel On Demon Ology

Fortean Researcher John A Keel On Demon Ology
Two quotes from the esteemed Fortean researcher John A. Keel on demonology from his book Operation Trojon Horse:

Demonology is not just another crackpot-ology.... Thousands of books have been written on the subject,... The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature are similar, if not entirely identical, to the UFO phenomenon itself. p. 215.

The Devil and his demons can, according to the literature, manifest themselves in almost any form and can physically imitate anything from angels to horrifying monsters with glowing eyes. Strange objects and entities materialize and dematerialize in these stories, just as the UFOs and their splendid occupants appear and disappear, walk through walls, and perform other supernatural feats. p. 216.

Just today I was talking with someone about demons and religions and spirituality...how demons and the Satan myth are variations on the concept of not only negative energies and entities, but "soul eaters" which, some UFO researchers theorize, the "grays" are.
