A ways into Fall and ELFIS #7 is finally explorable in this quarter's
first installment. I hope the lapse in "weekly updates" has not dismayed too many and if it has . . . get over it. Here it is:

     This issue is a result of recent "net-trawling" for archival purposes
regarding several strands of the ufo dialogue; from Explaining 'flying
saucers' as space critters to reviews of books tackling the Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder phenomena (albeit in a non-ufo context). This issue also lends me some inspiration in the area of ACTUAL writing (which I need to do so much more of) by way of Mr. Baggins' recent voluminous contributions to be featured thru-out each of this issues installments.

     So without further hubbub bub . . . Table O Contents follows:

ELFIS ISSUE 7 Fall 1998 MAIN

        In the "NEWS?" department we have info on BLATHER's new domain & look as well as some data archived at UFOMIND within moderator Errol Bruce-Knapp's UFO UpDates mailing list concerning existing practical human use of IMPLANTS

        This issue features AUTODESK founder John Walker's 1997 paper converging the pre-existing Space Critter/Animal Theory of UFOS with modern research into tapping the vacuum/Zero Point Energy as described by Austin's own Hal Puthoff:

        Plus more background on this Space Animal theory archived at:

        And as promised the first installments of two articles by resident hobbit Mr. Baggins:
       

        The first installment of his EHE autobiography relates his early childhood experiences with the sacred and profane which made him the twisted shaman hermit he proudly is today:

        The second article is the first installment in a piece about Mr. Baggins' experiences with interpersonal relationships, sexuality, energetics, Worthy Adversary encounters, and his shamanic explorations:

        Next up is "Between Two Worlds;" a transcript of San Antonio art critic Frances Colpitt's interview with minimalist alienist sculptural artist John McCracken who recounts some very interesting perspectives on his own art as well as his own exceptional human experiences with spacetime and concepts of the alien other:

        Atlantic Monthly featured this "mindwar" review of a book on PTSD: Shook Over Hell, Post-Traumatic Stress, Vietnam, and the Civil War:

        Within the Austin Anomalous milieu we have FORTEAN TIMES #115 featuring cover article on the Aurora Texas Airship Hoax and more . . . including info on the closing of Sony's PSI Labs:

        And last but by no means least more lucidity from the Excluded Middle camp's Peter Stenshoel who is Awake But Dreaming. Also within this issue's DreamTime NOW! you will find links to Nanook's Nook's Extraterretrial Contact, MIB, Lucid, Encounter dreams:

        Next installment I promise I'll finally have something explaining the soon to be, activation of hitherto dusty quadrants of the ELFIS network, especially the long awaited opening of UFOU-The Visible College: Earth's First UFO University:

        Until then, enjoy . . .
