ONCOUNTERS: THE UFO PHENOMENON EXPOSED.
*
There are so many questions
about ufology that
most people are either
too scared to ask or too
sensible. People are
frightened with the
unknown, and recently,
although having being
around for many years,
aliens are beginning to steal the limelight and become
more believable than ghosts. Or are they the same thing?
One reputed feature of Aliens is that they can take any
form! Apparently.
What does an Alien look like? Does the government
really communicate with them? Was the Roswell incident
a cover-up? Have places like Hangar 18 stored ufology?
Who are the Men in Black? Why do they
drive red Escorts?
All these questions and more are
revealed on this brand new CD
called Encounters: The UFO
Phenomenon Exposed. On the
rear cover it says: This CD contains
information that
NOBODY wants you to know.'
And this is perfectly true.
However, don't take it the
wrong way, thinking they're
stolen classified reports. They are
merely documents people have
managed to lay their hands on. Are
they true? Nobody knows_
If the government did come Out and make
a speech to say that UFOs/Aliens
existed, although there's really nothing
to worry about, there would be a

By now, you probably know about underground
clubs and places where everyone gets
together to 'join as one' and just enjoy life.
No restrictions, no egotistical bigots - everybody
is free to enjoy what they want to enjoy.
Euroscene is more or less an underground
Amiga scene, where various Amiga users get
together for parties and groupings for demo
showings, music and pictures, amongst other
things, and then generally talk about it afterwards
- on demos. That's why you always get
a certain type of text on demo scrollers which,
if you haven't been to a certain venue, you
won't understand. Generally, these venues
are held all around the country, although
mainly in Europe.
This CD contains various files from these
particular get-togethers. Images, demos,

world panic_ However, if they manage to keep it as one or
those 'believe it or nor subjects, the public would have
no option but to disbelieve it_
According to a document in the CD itself, there are
over 70 recognised species of 'Aliens' or other beings.
The most popular of species has to be the 'Greys.' These
are described as being thin and spindly, have large bald
heads, huge dark eyes, two dots for a nose, and a small
line for a mouth. And of course they are grey.
After having read almost every document on the entire
CD, I now feel as though I'm getting to know quite a bit.
For instance, did you know that the government are carrying
out a coverup as we speak? Well, it's called an
indoctrination, and its a plan to make you disbelieve.
When a UFO sighting is reported, and it's a major one
which the government can't explain, they filter it
through to a popular medium - namely the
tabloids. They will then blow it out of
proportion - such as the 'I was
snatched by Pamela Anderson
look-a-like aliens!' story - so people
laugh it off, and subconsciously
dismiss the whole
thing. Clever? I think so_
This CD covers every budding
ufologist's dreams as there are
documents covering abductions,
origins, cattle mutilations,
crop circles, landings, sightings,
crashed UFOs, and government
conspiracies and cover-ups.
Basically, the entire CD uses an
AmigaGuide and all the documents can be

accessed very easily along with a
series of pictures. Most of the CD is
text related - 200Mb - which
music, graphics and all the relative players
and views are included. The main source of
all these various formats come from diskmags
and if you're a keen follower of these, then
they will undoubtedly inform you of various
forthcoming 'bashes.'
CATEGORISATION
The categories are divided up into a listing
which is sorted by the name of the group.
You may recognise some of them if you have
used Aminet or other compilation CDs. Most
of the larger files or demos are compressed
as a DMS format, although there are many
ready•to-run programs and files. There are
also various graphic viewers, mod players,
text resources, programming guides and
many other useful utilities. As you'd expect,
means there are a lot of documents. However, each category
has its own pre-packed [ha file so you can instanni•
unpack it to your hard drive.
All the information on the CD is excelent_ It gives all
sorts of documents that are supposedly 'top secret' and
some of the accounts of abductions will send a shiver
down your spine. The whole CD covers everything to do
with UFOs, especially offering explanations as to why
World War 2 started! Hitler was an alien! Er, I made that
up actually. It does sound like some people take it too
far, but after actually reading the documents, how can
you possibly not believe it? This is the case when
500,000 people have reported abductions in Amerka
and they all roughly follow the same pattern. Spooky!
If you have a keen interest in ufology or you're looking
for some convincing evidence, look no further.

the quality of the demo/image/module really
depends on the respective quality of the
group. At the moment, the Polka Brothers
seem to have made a big impact of the
demo scene, ranking high in the charts of
many diskmags.
If you are into the demo side and getting
to know other Amiga users, then Euroscene
will manage to satisfy your curiosity into
these underground happenings. It's certainly
good value for money at E9,99.
