    A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE TRUE NATURE OF THE "UFO ENTITIES"
    --------------------------------------------------------

    by

    Gordon Creighton



    This article, which appeared originally in FSR 29/1 (October 1983)
    is reprinted now at the request of a number of readers, and to remind all
    our readers of what lies ahead for Mankind. Ever since its publication,
    the article has been treated throughout the world with total silence, and
    and there is a general agreement among all Ufologists on both sides of the
    Atlantic never to give it a mention.

    FSR Consultant Dr Richard F. Haines expected me to print his
    comphrehensive REVIEW OF EXPLANATORY HYPOTHESES FOR UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL
    PHENOMENA, and I promptly did so. (FSR 32/2 - 1987.) But it might be
    noted that he did not deem it necessary to include the slightest reference
    to my work in his survey, even as a minimal gesture of courtesy.

    Four of the leading experts in Ufology in the world have written
    me privately to say that they think I am on the right track. Only one
    of them - Ann Druffel - has had the guts to say so publicly. EDITOR


    ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----


    One of the more curious features of the followers of the various

    religions is that, being so dogmatically certain that in their own

    particular little faith they already possess the whole Truth about all

    things in Heaven and Earth, it almost never occurs to any of them to look

    elsewhere and find out what the followers of other religions may know or

    may have discovered.


    This is certainly a pity, for study of all the great world-religions

    - and notably Islam - would yield valuable clues as to the true nature

    of the so-called "UFO Phenomenon" and would rapidly eliminate much of

    the fatuous "Space-Age Mythology" that has been spawned in such profusion

    over the last three decades.


    Islam knows, in fact, of the existence of THREE entirely separate

    and distinct species of intelligent beings in the Universe, and indeed

    can furnish suprisingly precise details regarding their natures and roles

    and activities.


    ANGELS, MEN, AND JINNS


    The first category is of course that of the ANGELS or Messengers

    (Greek: ANGELOS; Hebrew: MALACH; Arabic: MALAK). These are high beings

    created of LIGHT.


    The third category are MEN, with bodies created according to the

    QUR'AN, of CLAY, or, in other words, this being poetic language, they

    have physical bodies assembled from the mineral and chemical elements of

    our PERIODIC TABLE - the "PLANETARY BODY", as Gurdjieff used to call it.


    The second category, however, and the one with which we are here

    concerned, is the category of those beings (CREATED BEFORE MAN WAS) who

    are referred to collectively in Arabic as AL-JINN *1*. Although there

    is some dispute about it among Arab grammarians, most of their lex-

    icologists seem to hold that the word derives - as Arabic words almost

    invariably do - from a verb-root, namely JANNA, "TO HIDE OR TO CONCEAL"

    - indeed a very fitting derivation for the name of these creatures.


    Whereas the bodies of Angels are of light and the bodies of men

    are of the gross elements of the Earth, the bodies of AL-JINN consist

    of what is variously translated as "ESSENTIAL FIRE" *2*, or "ESSENTIAL

    FLAME", or "SMOKELESS FIRE" *3*, or "SMOKELESS FLAME", and it is

    specifically stated in the QUR'AN (Surah XV, 26 and 27) THAT THEY WERE

    CREATED BEFORE MANKIND WAS. (Some scholars have speculated that these

    might be the "PRE-ADAMIC MEN" whose existence is hinted at here and

    there in the Holy Bible.)


    There has been much debate among modern students of Arabic as

    to precisely what these terms "MIN NARI AL-SAMUMI" *2* and "MIN MARIJIN

    MIN NARIN" *3* can conceivably mean in modern parlance, and some

    scholars have concluded that, in using these terms, the Prophet Muhammad

    (the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was there attempting to

    describe what Western occultists have tried to describe by such terms

    as ETHER, or maybe the so-called ETHERIC OR ASTRAL PLANES. (I have also

    seen it suggested that some sort of PLASMA is indicated.)


    (Needless to say, such concepts as ETHERIC PLANE and ASTRAL

    PLANE have no meaning for modern Science and, so far as I know, apart

    from Dirac, the physicists have abandoned their speculations regarding

    the existence of an ether.)



    THE SOURCE OF THE JINNS



    Wherever it is that the JINNS are thought of as being normally

    located, it seems highly likely that the source of many of them, at any

    rate, is not very distant from us, and some Muslim scholars who have

    become aware of the current Western research into the so-called "UFO

    Phenomenon" and have reflected awhile upon it have concluded - and I

    think correctly - that maybe the best way we can start to visualize

    these matters is by thinking of the JINNS AS BEING VERY CLOSE INDEED

    TO US AND AND YET AT THE SAME TIME SOMEHOW VERY FAR FROM US. IN OTHER

    WORDS, ON SOME OTHER DIMENSION, OR IN SOME OTHER SPACE/TIME FRAMEWORK,

    "RIGHT HERE', OR MAYBE IN A WORLD OF ANTI-MATTER RIGHT HERE, OR

    OCCUPYING AS IT WERE SOME OTHER UNIVERSE THAT IS HERE, BEHIND ALICE'S

    MIRROR: "A MIRROR-UNIVERSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPACE-TIME

    CONTINUUM" AS IT HAS BEEN NEATLY PUT BY SOME INVESTIGATORS.


    The QUR'AN, however, is not clear on this, and admittedly it looks

    as though it is very possible that some of the JINNS could be fully

    physical and what we call extraterrestrials, while other species of

    them are of an altogether and finer sort of matter, corresponding to

    what various UFO investigators have tried to indicate by such terms

    as "ULTRATERRESTRIAL" or "METATERRESTRIAL".


    In thinking abou these ideas, we might bear in mind the theory

    of the Russian philosopher P.D. Ouspensky regarding the possible

    existence of other, more subtle, levels of matter on which the elements

    of the Periodic Table of our own chemical world are repeated - and, if

    I understand him aright, repeated more than once, on more than one

    level. The early writings of Dr. Meade Layne in the USA about the

    "DENSE ETHERIC WORLD" from which he maintained that the UFO entities

    and their craft originated should also be borne in mind. (His book,

    THE COMING OF THE GUARDIANS, was published in 1958, and may prove one

    day to have been very important indeed.) Certain of the benevolent

    JINNS may well be our "Guardians".


    That there is some close affinity, or some link of destiny

    between JINNS and Mankind seems certain, for although the vast majority

    of the JINNS are DEVILS, SHAYTANS *4*, nevertheless we are assured in

    the QUR'AN that some among their many species are "goodies" and are

    capable of salvation. For it is specifically stated that Muhammad was

    sent as a Messenger to both Mankind and the JINNS, so that, in the

    Final Days, some of the JINNS will enter into Paradise, while the rest

    of them will be cast down into Hell. Their revelation to IBLIS *5*,

    the Top Devil ( = SATAN) is in general somewhat obscure. In the QUR'AN

    IBLIS is certainly described as a JINN, but elsewhere in the QUR'AN he

    is also described as an ANGEL. (Surely the explanation is that IBLIS

    is that same high being, originally of Angelic status, who rebelled

    against God and is named in the Christian texts as LUCIFER?)


    Had we the space, much more might be said about the JINNS and

    their doings, but only a brief account of their main characteristics

    can here be given. Their principal features, as listed below, are as

    I have gathered them from all the Muslim written and traditional

    sources that I have been able to consult over the past 15 years. The

    reader can see for himself the parallels with the reported features

    of UFO entities and can draw his own conclusions. I hope I do not

    have to labour the point, space being precious.



    THE CHIEF CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JINNS


    1. In the normal state they are not visible to ordinary human

    sight.

    2. They are, however, capable of materializing and appearing

    in the physical world. And they can alternately make themselves

    visible or invisible at will.

    3. They can change shape, and appear in any sort of guise,

    large or small. (See for example, Ahmad Jamaludin's excellent report,

    A WAVE OF SMALL HUMANOIDS IN MALAYSIA IN 1970, in FSR Vol. 28, No. 5).

    Ahmad Jamaludin is a Muslim, and he knows, of course, what it is that

    we are talking about.

    4. They are able also to appear in the guise of ANIMALS. (Yetis?

    Pumas? Loch Ness Monsters?)

    5. They are inveterate liars and deceivers, and delight in

    bamboozling and misleading mankind with all manner of nonsense. (See

    the average Spiritualist SEANCE for examples of their activities, and

    also the usual "communications" from UFO entities in close-encounter

    cases.)

    6. They are addicted to the abduction or kidnapping of humans.

    (The Scotsman Robert Kirk, who wrote "THE SECRET COMMONWEALTH" in 1691,

    evidently "knew more than was good for his health", and was killed by

    them.)

    7. They delight in tempting humans into sexual intercourse and

    liaisons with them, and Arabic literature abounds with accounts of this

    kind of contact by mankind with both the "goodies" and the "baddies"

    among the JINNS. There are also even a considerable number of accounts

    of encounters between the "goodies" and famous Muslim saints. For

    example, the book MANAQUIB AL-ARIFIN *6* has a number of very significant

    references to contacts between such higher beings, and JALAL AL-DIN RUMI,

    Islam's greatest mystical poet, who lived from 1207 to 1273.


    (I often wonder which category of JINNUS it was that was en-

    countered in Brazil by the farmer A.V.B. See my third article on

    "A.V.B.", POSTCRIPT TO THE MOST AMAZING CASE OF ALL, in FSR Vol. 11,

    No. 4, August 1965.)


    IN OFFICIAL ISLAM - AND THIS CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED - THE

    EXISTENCE OF THE JINNS HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY ACCEPTED, EVEN LEGALLY,

    AND EVEN TO THIS DAY, IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE. THE FULL CONSEQUENCES

    IMPLIED BY THEIR EXISTENCE WERE WORKED OUT LONG AGO. THEIR LEGAL STATUS,

    IN ALL RESPECTS, WAS DISCUSSED AND FIXED, AND THE POSSIBLE RELATIONS

    BETWEEN THEM AND MANKIND - ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO QUESTIONS OF

    MARRIAGE AND PROPERTY! - WERE SERIOUSLY EXAMINED BY JURISTS, AS THE

    GREATEST AND MOST AUTHORITATIVE WESTERN SOURCE, THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF

    ISLAM, CONFIRMS.


    Stories of sexual commerce between JINNS and mankind have been of

    perennial interest to Arab readers, and it is important at this point to

    mention that in CHINESE literature (and in China the Han population are

    not Muslims - only certain of the smaller minority peoples of the North-

    West and Far West are) there is also a considerable tradition of this

    sort which awaits examination by Ufologists.


    The great Arabic literary catalogue known as the FIHRIST *7*,

    compiled in the year 373 of the Muslim Calendar ( = A.D. 995) by

    Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Abi Ya'qub al-Nadim al-Warraq al-Baghdadi, lists

    no less than sixteen works dealing with this theme. (Compare also the

    European occultists' records of sexual contact between men and female

    SYLPHS, as well as the copious mediaeval Christian records relating to

    INCUBI and SUCCABAE.)


    Most Westerners will discount all this talk about the JINNS with

    the usual argument that the Arabs "are barbarians anyway". Let me

    therefore point out that, in A.D.995, when the FIHRIST was written, the

    brilliant civilization of the Arabs was incomparably higher than anything

    elsewhere in the world except for China and that our Christian, Western,

    RENAISSANCE owes its origins as much to our contact with Islam (the

    Crusades) as to the early percolation of Greek learning to the West.

    As a matter of fact quite a lot of the philosophy and the literature of

    the Greeks reached us first, not in Greek at all, but in the Arabic

    translations secured from Cordoba and Toledo in Spain in the 10th and

    11th centuries, when the Muslims still held most of Spain. It is only

    in the last few centuries, and particularly since the Industrial

    Revolution and the growth of modern materialistic Science, that the

    West has forged ahead. But in 1200 A.D. Muslim Science was in the

    lead, particularly in such fields as Medicine, Mathematics, and

    Astronomy, and it would be grossly impudent to assume that our current

    "superiority" over them has anything permanent about it.


    8. THE JINNS are wont to snatch up humans and teleport or

    transport them, setting them down again - if indeed they ever do set

    them down again - miles away from where they were picked up, and all

    this is the "twinkling of an eye". (See my first article on TELEPORTATIONS,

    about the Spanish soldier who, on October 25, 1593, was suddenly taken

    from Manila in the Philippine Islands across the Pacific to Mexico City.

    In FSR Vol. 11, No. 2, 1965).


    9. The Arabian tradition asserts that, throughout all known

    history, there have been a few particular human beings who, through

    some strange favour, have "been in league with the JINNS" or "had a

    compact with the JINNS" - to such a degree that the JINNS have endowed

    them with what we regard as "preternatural powers" - ie., PSYCHIC POWERS.

    These humans have consequently become known as wonder-workers,

    soothsayers, and MAGICIANS. (Either "white magicians" or "black

    magicians", depending of course upon what sort of JINNS they were in

    league with.)


    Here again, compare the European tradition about individuals who

    have discovered how to collaborate with the KINGDOM OF THE SYLPHS or the

    FAIRIES. For example, there is the case of the "working partnership",

    not more than seventy years ago, between a SYLPH and a highly successful

    Parisian dealer in rare old books. The SYLPH made its contribution by

    acting as the "scout" and finding out where and in whose possession the

    rare books were. All the dealer had to do then was to approach the

    owners and offer to buy!


    10. Along with all these displays of prowess by the JINNS there

    goes, finally, a tremendous TELEPATHIC POWER and the ability (to use an

    age-old term) to "CAST A GLAMOUR" over their human victims. Our UFO

    records are already full of evidence of this.


    How much of what we see happening today, at the highest levels

    of international politics, as well as in ordinary human affairs, can

    be attributed to this subtle control and interference in our lives by

    insidious and unseen forces! Indeed, this is one of the prime reasons

    for the parlous state in which man finds himself. Some recent reports

    from UFO investigators hint at alien plans to provoke war here and drive

    the Gadarene Swine (mankind) over into the abyss.


    The present-day Christians, who generally seem to have very

    little sense of curiosity, are apparently quite happy to pass their

    days in total ignorance of all this. But a careful study of the New

    Testament (AND ONLY IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK!) will show clearly that

    nothing of what is said above was unknown either to the Teacher and

    Healer Jeshu of Nazareth or to his principal followers - particularly

    Paul. (Incidentally, Christians may like to know that in Islam the full

    name and title of Jeshu of Nazareth is ISSA, SON OF MARY, WORD OF GOD.)


    Long before the rise of Christianity or Islam there were of

    course other great Teachers (Messengers) who preceived clearly the

    situation in which mankind finds itself. One of these was Zarathustra

    (Zoroaster) in the old Iranian civilization of the Achaemenidae - about

    600 or 700 years B.C. The great religious text left by Zarathustra is

    the AVESTA, which tells us much about the Demonic Forces, referred to

    under the blanket term of AHRIMAN, the Enemy of Light. Mankind, in

    this teaching, is seen as a special creation of ORMAZD, the SUPREME

    SPIRIT, who is locked in permanent conflict with AHRIMAN.


    THE SOUL OF MAN IS THE OBJECT OF THE WAR, AND MAN HIMSELF IS

    THE BATTLEFIELD.



    DR. RUDOLPH STEINER



    In our days, there has probably been no teacher who saw and

    understood all this more clearly that the great Austrian Dr. Rudolf

    Steiner (1861-1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Society.


    Clairvoyant from childhood, Steiner saw into the other worlds

    and planes and saw deeply into the human heart, and no books or teach-

    ings are so relevant as his are to the crisis of mankind that is now

    upon us. His lectures throughout 1917, for example, show clearly that

    he foresaw, in their totality, the political, social, and military

    results and the police-state tyranny which would inevitably follow from

    the Russian Revolution, just as the "Lady" of the Apparitions at Fatima

    in the same year also did. Steiner foresaw what would result in the

    world as a whole from a materialistic science run mad: the development

    of "test-tube" man, "biological engineering" and other horrors; the

    deliberate creation and development of living monsters; and the soul-

    less, God-less, dehumanized, computerized, insect-like chromium and

    plastic slave world of "1984" that may now be at hand.


    According to Steiner, a tremendous and crucial round in the

    battle was fought out in the last thirty years of the 19th century,

    and on the Inner Planes, between the Forces of AHRIMAN (the term he

    took over from Zarathustra) and the FORCES OF LIGHT. These latter

    are conventionally known to our Western, Christian tradition as the

    Cohorts of Michael. Steiner said that the fight ended in a complete

    victory for the LIGHT, but that, as a result of it, a great many of

    the powerful demonic beings had been actually cast down upon the

    planet Earth, with the consequence that their presence and their in-

    fluence now impinge more than ever upon the propects and the destiny

    of mankind.


    STEINER TAUGHT THAT THE COMING YEARS WILL SEE INCREDIBLE

    UPHEAVALS, IN THE COURSE OF WHICH THIS GREAT BATTLE WILL BE CARRIED

    FORWARD, TO ITS CONCLUSION, INSIDE EVERY HUMAN HEART. See Rudolf

    Steiner: DER STURZ DER GEISTER DER FINSTERNIS: (THE OVERTHROW OF THE

    SPIRITS OF DARKNESS), Series of Lectures, 1917. (Available only in

    German.)


    The objective of the Forces of Darkness is to take over the

    stream of human evolution, to merge with it, and to divert mankind

    from the evolutionary development planned for it. The end result of

    this would be new creatures in which those qualities that represent

    the highest that we know would have been eliminated.


    Smart-alecky modern man of the Pop Age, the "Trousered Ape" as

    he has been called, has of course no use for all this sort of "rubbish",

    and immense numbers of our species have discarded all belief in the

    existence of demons, along with any belief in the Great Power that rules

    the Universe.


    (Sophisticated folk nowadays know that the world was not created

    by God, but by Karl Marx. And they know that Lenin and successors are

    His Prophets.)


    There is a delightful passage in C.S. Lewis's SCREWTAPE LETTERS,

    where the Senior Devil, talking to one of his underlings, makes a

    profoundly important remark: "OF COURSE, OUR GREATEST TRUMP-CARD IS

    THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY *KNOWS* WE DON'T EXIST." (Or words to that

    effect.)


    Similarly, the vast majority of mankind KNOW that JINNS and UFOs

    and UFO entities don't exist. And what a nice advantage that is for

    the entities!


    But what if HOMO SAP (so-called, self-dubbed) were in for some

    big shocks in the near future? What then?


    With the recent advance of Science, man has rapidly become aware

    of the vastness of the Cosmos and of the probability that there exist

    out there innumerable other physical worlds inhabited by intelligent

    beings, some of which, for all we know, may be (as we dearly hope)

    identical with men, with our tastes and our values, our hopes and our

    fears.


    It is natural that some among us, surveying the impasse into

    which we have got ourselves, might well be tempted to look up to the

    stars in the hope that someone wiser than we are might arrive one day

    from there and give us all the easy answers.


    If there be any truth in the ancient story that the inhabitants

    of Magonia, unlike men, do not possess the possibility of developing

    immortal souls, and therefore are anxious to acquire such by mating

    with us and mingling their life-stream with ours, what moment could be

    more propitious to them for achieving their purpose than now?


    Can't you just hear the message of their Captain?


    -"WE ARE FROM TAU CETI, AND WE COME TO BRING YOU SALVATION
    AND SHOW YOU THE WAY OUT OF YOUR PROBLEMS. WE WILL GET
    YOU OFF THE HOOK!"
