New In The Magonia Archive

I'm pleased to say that we have added another to Magonia's online archive, which had not previously been published in the print magazine. It's by UFOlogist-turned-religious-studies-professor-turned-novelist David Halperin, who writes:

"Magonia has been a feature of UFOlogical discourse for more than forty years, since Jacques Vallee published his classic "Passport to Magonia". What was the original Magonia, mentioned in a 9th-century Latin text by Archbishop Agobard of Lyon? Who were the four people - three men, one woman - said to have fallen to earth from a Magonian airship?"

He compares Agobard's story with a 17th-century sighting of a similar foursome on the moon, and comes to some startling conclusions.
