The Rochdale 'Satanic Abuse Case' refered to in the last issue of Magonia, in which seventeen children were taken into care has ended with a court hearing after which all the children were returned to their parents, except one where a suspicion of non-ritual child abuse still existed. Although the hearings were held in private, the verdict of the judge as published contained some interesting information. 
Is Another World Watching? (1951)(1; Why Are They Watching Us? (1967)(2); Are We Being Watched? (1980)(3). Three titles culled from the UFO literature introduce us to a dominant anxiety fuelling the UFO mythos. Once the existence of UFOs is accepted, their purpose must be addressed. The possibilities number in the neighbourhood of two dozen, but thinking tends to gravitate to the idea of secret, stealthy, or covert observation. (4)
UFOs are never seen in a cultural vacuum. The very terminology we use helps dictate what is seen and/or reported. In the past we had chariots of fire, will o’ the wisps, phantom airships, foo fighters and ghost rockets as some of the main frames of reference for interpreting weird things in the sky. Indeed, the very frame of reference can help cause people to see these things in the sky, or make them report sightings they would never otherwise have thought twice about.
