From issue four onwards, the content of the Journal became more New Age, and articles on such subjects as astrology became more prevalent. Possibly as "filler" material, Peter Paget began writing the "M86 Notebook", a rather poor attempt at a science fiction story. However, Paget did have two "scoops" for the Journal. The first, a series of articles titled "Contact Re-established", chronicled alleged contact, via channelling, with aliens. This contact is the basis of Kevin's book, UFO-Warminster: Cradle of Contact. The second scoop involved a couple who lived near Winchester, in Hampshire – Joyce Bowles and Ted Pratt. They claimed to have seen a UFO land, and to have had contact with the occupants. Despite these scoops, the number of people re-subscribing to
the Fountain Journal was dwindling. With debt and costs
mounting, the publication of the Fountain Journal became more
sporadic. With each issue, the magazine became thinner in both content
and volume.
Peter had already told Kevin that he and Jane planned to move—because, Kevin had assumed, of mounting debts—from the large and costly Star House to a smaller and more manageable property, Fountain House. However, the Warminster phenomenon was by now very old news. A rash of UFO sightings around the Haverfordwest area of South Wales had hit the headlines. The phenomenon was to become known as The Dyfed Enigma, while the area in which the UFOs were seen is still known as The Welsh Triangle. Soon after the publication of issue 11 of the Fountain Journal, the Pagets moved to South Wales, ostensibly to study the phenomena there. Two years later, Peter Paget’s first book, The Welsh Triangle, was published in the UK by Granada books. Soon after, a second book, UFO-UK, was published by New English Library. This book contained a lot of material that had originally appeared in the Fountain Journal. |
