• 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 adobcsENE 2 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, ci Thus picture 15 from the R oswe ll autopsy. ft wa s brought to light by a music vide o produce r. N e e d I sa y more — Strange pictures e re the true nature Of Euroscono 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 -) R oughly translated, this me a ns 'The Boot.' i'm good a t German AMIGA COMPUTING FEBRUARY 1996 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.
