This picture was taken by Janelle Tuttle in 1997 at Sawmill Gardens Patio Homes, Cottonwood, AZ.

Editor’s note: We “just happened” to receive this interesting correspondence from a subscriber in Cottonwood, AZ just in time as we were assembling this issue. The friendly teasing of the cover letter said:

“I like my picture of the UFO ‘Light Beam Ship’ better than yours (grin) that appeared on page 41 of the November issue of The SPECTRUM—so I’ve enclosed a copy of the one I took, together with the article that I wrote about it, published in UNKNOWN magazine, in its Winter 1998 issue. Happy that you are doing a feature series on UFOs.”

Well, we agree; it’s a very important and timely subject to feature! We thought you might enjoy both the photo and the article about the photo. Jenelle has kept her narrative simple and straightforward, for a general audience.

Many unusual effects have been observed and photographed over the years, due to the ability of such advanced-technology craft to change their vibrational rate with respect to our planet’s ambient frequency, as well as project fields or energy beams which may register on film while not being observed by the eye alone. Ships may also cloak themselves in clouds (water vapor) as several other photos included within this feature article demonstrate. Some other stunning “cloud-ship” photos are in the back of the book of collected spiritual messages called WISDOM OF THE RAYS: The Masters Teach, Volume I.

Wow! My heart skipped a beat or two, thrilled beyond words as my eyes studied the unbelievable picture of a UFO that I had been surprisingly able to capture on film, almost in my own backyard. There was no mistake about it! There, on my photo, in plain view, for all to see, was the saucerlike disc, a luminous sphere of light, semi-foglike energy field, known by UFOlogists to often accompany these small inter-dimensional “scout” ships. These disc-shaped small UFO scout ships, commonly called Lightships or Beamships, and ferried to Earth by a large “mothership”, I learned, are frequently seen as brilliant white lights in the sky, so dazzling that the actual form behind the light is masked, and some of them have been known to change shape and substance, from an apparently solid body to a semi-transparent state before vanishing from visual sight because they live and move within a faster vibrational frequency rate.

To catch this low-flying energy field on film was, to me, remarkable! Yes, these energized, small spaceships are controlled, I’m told, by higher intelligences. Where do they come from? From other inter-dimensional planets and star systems within and, perhaps, beyond what we can see from our solar system, carried in the womb of the mothership who navigates through magnetic fields, down through artificial time-warp zones, near the Earth’s atmosphere, released and sent out to explore and analyze Earth’s environment. It appears, however, these small disc-shaped craft have a limited range of travel and are, literally, as their names imply, scout ships who cruise the environs of our planet, unable to travel long distances from their mothership.
It is thought that the method of propulsion of these craft is electromagnetically operated, with the help of water and magnetic devices from Earth’s force-fields.

When people view the picture of the Lightship that I feel honored to have captured on film, they appear to react in one of two ways:

(1) Total rejection, apprehensive and fearful. They are of a mindset that the photo was caused by a double exposure, a lens flare, a light leak in the camera, the sparkle from a diamond ring, a finger over the lens and, if all else fails in the furtherance of their disbelief in UFOs, a film-processing fault.
(2) Or, they feel happy, serene, and spiritually uplifted, thrilled, and delighted.

The photo seems to bring happy smiles to glowing faces, giving them a feeling that something of great importance and something significant is about to happen in the very near future. What do I think? That other planetary intelligences are, slowly, attempting to show us, acquaint us with the idea that they are not fictional, but factual!

In the photograph, the small exploratory atmospheric Lightship, controlled by an unseen intelligence, hovers, nosed slightly upward, about halfway up the pole of the tall street-lamp seen behind it. Seldom seen by the human eye, this celestial firefly, estimated to have been some twelve feet in diameter, can transmit a beam of light that is capable of producing a conflicting, or strong opposing energy to combat and reduce harmful electromagnetic energy fields. Perhaps that was the mission of this ship scouting my area. Or maybe this magnificent force of energy, in some strange, unknown way, knew I greatly needed an inspirational lift on that day, the latter part of January, 1997, when, for some mysterious, compelling reason, I found myself in the early, mid-morning hours (about 10 a.m.) out on the street where I live in Cottonwood, Arizona, camera in hand. As a consequence, I have this rare, most unusual photo to treasure and share.
