Aktuelt (Current Events)

The Veggerby Incident

The main article details the second phase of an investigation into a UFO incident in Veggerby, Denmark. The first phase involved a farmer discovering a hole in the ice of a pond, with mud ejected onto the ice, suggesting an object had fallen in. Military representatives, including from the defense staff, were involved. Initially, an investigation was planned for the spring when the ice melted, but it was not carried out.

S.U.F.O.I. Aalborg took the initiative and, with the farmer's permission, began an investigation on June 27th. Due to the manual labor involved, an entrepreneur offered to use an excavator. The defense staff became interested again, and engineer Fabricius was assigned as an advisor. S.U.F.O.I. clarified that their goal was to uncover what had gone into the ice, not to remove any potential findings.

On July 11th, an excavator was used to divide the pond with a dam and pump water from the affected half. By 3:20 PM, S.U.F.O.I. began scraping away a 1/2 meter thick layer of mud. The work was interrupted by a thunderstorm. The next day, a layer of peat was removed, and a 'soft spot' was discovered. Beneath this, a layer of blue clay and stones revealed a shaft approximately 50 cm in diameter, filled with mud, peat, blue clay, and stones. After removing these materials, a strange substance was found: a 3-5 cm thick layer of a gelatinous brown mass.

Representatives from the defense staff and S.U.F.O.I. took samples. S.U.F.O.I. also sent samples to the 'International UFO-observer Corps' in London. The author, H. C., notes that this does not necessarily mean a crashed flying saucer, suggesting it might be a form of 'waste' that falls from the sky, such as ice, slag, ash, coal, sticky substances, and 'angel hair.' The results from the London report would be published in UFO-NYT.

Italian 'Flying Cigar' Sighting

Separately, the issue reports a sighting on December 29, 1954, by a gardener in Cluzone, Italy, of a 'flying cigar' with a transparent cabin. The gardener saw two heads wearing strange helmets inside. The object flew at less than 25 meters altitude, but its speed prevented further detailed observation.

Professor Charles A. Maney's Speech

An excerpt from a speech by Professor Charles A. Maney at the opening of 'The planetary centre' in Detroit is presented. He urges an open mind and unity among UFO research groups, emphasizing the need for all material to be tested against scientific principles. He argues that while objective evidence is preferred, subjective experiences should also be considered if they don't contradict known science. He believes that the intelligences controlling UFOs possess advanced knowledge of physical laws.

Professor Maney discusses the importance of material evidence for claims of physical contact, such as artifacts or inventions. For psychic connections, he suggests that repeated, verifiable messages from different locations would be the basis for establishing authenticity. He stresses that the repetition of events is the foundation of scientific reality, applicable to both physical phenomena and UFO sightings.

He notes that 'angel hair' sightings are often associated with UFOs, characterized by sudden acceleration, fibrous appearance, and evaporation upon contact with human warmth. He also mentions recurring UFO observation concentrations, such as the 'fleets' near Washington D.C. in July 1952, and electromagnetic phenomena like car malfunctions reported in November 1957.

Literature Review

Starting with this issue, SUFOI-Horsens will review UFO books monthly. The aim is to inform readers about the content of various UFO books, as only about 10% of the 300 available books are considered free of extraneous elements. The reviews will not offer judgments on the books' quality but will present them as they are received.

"My contact with Flying Saucer" by Dino Craspedon

This book, published by Neville Spearman in London, is 205 pages long and includes diagrams and drawings of astronomical and theoretical concepts, but no photographs. It features a drawing of the saucer that brought the captain to Craspedon.

The book is described as difficult to read for some, but valuable for the in-depth ufologist. The author engages in a dialogue with the captain of the flying saucer, covering topics such as creation, the universe, and spiritual matters. The captain claims to be from Jupiter's satellite, not Jupiter itself, as it is uninhabitable. His race, 'sprog genier,' are technologically advanced and diverse in appearance. The captain explains that they change names based on merit and do not have fixed residences, moving between satellites. The saucer travels in absolute vacuum, using atmospheric pressure for propulsion. The author notes that the beings are highly advanced and can travel between planets.

UFO-Pejler (UFO Detector)

An article describes a homemade 'UFO detector' called 'UFOPEJLER'. The author explains how to construct it using a light bulb, a mirror, lead weights, and a steel needle. The needle is magnetized and balanced to indicate the direction of UFOs. The author seeks assistance from other UFO enthusiasts to test its effectiveness.

George Adamski and Lucy Mc. Ginnis

This section features a Q&A with George Adamski, with contributions from Lucy Mc. Ginnis. Adamski discusses his ongoing work on a new book, which his 'brothers' advised him to prioritize over the 'scientific program.' He believes his book "INSIDE THE SPACE SHIPS" contains valuable information that could help the world if people embraced its wisdom.

Question 1: New Book?

Adamski confirms he is working on a new book but has been advised to focus on the scientific program. He reiterates the importance of "INSIDE THE SPACE SHIPS" for its valuable insights.

Question 2: Sputnik Information?

Adamski states he has not met with his 'brothers' since the Russian satellite Sputnik was launched. He promises to inquire about it at their next meeting and share any information received.

Question 3: Why didn't the space beings help us launch Sputnik?

Adamski explains that according to information received, flying saucers have been seen in Russia, and landings have occurred. He suggests that some governments have instructed their air forces to shoot down UFO crews, making it unlikely for these beings to offer help to nations that do not acknowledge them. He emphasizes that the visitors are apolitical and do not support specific factions, viewing all humans as brothers and sisters.

The Flying Saucers

This article discusses the phenomenon of flying saucers as a post-war event that has captivated the world. It notes that despite media silence, the issue remains current and has entered a decisive phase. The article references Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting of 'flying discs' near Mount Rainer and mentions over 40,000 official observations since then. It highlights the Brazilian Air Force's official recognition of non-terrestrial flying objects, while also citing a US official's statement that 'truth must not be told' due to higher state interests. The article advocates for public education and psychological preparation regarding these phenomena.

It critiques Leslie/Adamski's book "Flying Saucers" as a major obstacle and then discusses Adamski's "Inside The Space Ships," which describes his experiences with 'planet people' and their spaceships. The article argues that these accounts lead to ufology by changing our worldview and preparing us for future events. It asserts that the photographic evidence of UFOs appearing in formations, gathering information, and sometimes landing is overwhelming, driven by intelligent beings with a specific goal. Ufology's aim is to understand this goal and assist in achieving it.

The article contrasts historical worldviews with current understanding, mentioning the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model and the eventual acceptance of gravity. It suggests that humanity has reached a peak and will be replaced by a new race created by God from ectoplasm, possessing new bodies and minds.

UFO-NYT - Letters to the Editor/Reader Contributions

Sven Olov Larsson's Address and Poem

Sven Olov Larsson's address is provided again, along with a poem by Fr. Paludan-Müller titled "Fortæl Deres venner om UFO-nyt" (Tell your friends about UFO-nyt). The poem reflects on how limited experience of life can lead to excessive solemnity, and how seeing the world through a narrow lens can lead to perceiving people as gods.

UFO-Pejler Construction Details

Further details are provided on the construction of the 'UFO Pejler' device. It is recommended to place it on a piece of polished glass (mirror) to ensure accuracy. The device should not be placed near radiators or radios, as these can affect the magnetism of the needle.

Professor Hans Fischer's Speech Excerpt

An excerpt from a speech by Professor Hans Fischer, rector of Zurich University, delivered on April 24, 1957, is included. He speaks about living in the past and the fear of atomic destruction, suggesting that UFO encounters offer a new perspective and a potential escape from this existential dread. He contrasts the 'modern Parsifal' (referring to UFOs) with older concepts of 'Herrens genkomst' (the Lord's return). He posits that understanding UFO phenomena can revitalize our worldview and lead to a realization that life exists on other planets, enabling inter-planetary contact.

UFO-NYT - Reader Mail/Information

An individual writes about their experience with a 'UFO detector' and its potential to track UFO direction. They suggest that the detector might indicate the direction of UFOs and their polar orientation. They also mention that the device needs to be placed on a level surface and away from magnetic interference.

S.U.F.O.I. - SILKEBORG

This section announces that S.U.F.O.I. - Silkeborg is now selling UFO detector kits, including diagrams and instructions, for 15 kr. Compass needles are also available for 1 kr. each.

The Flying Saucers (Continued)

This section continues the discussion on flying saucers, referring to them as a post-war phenomenon. It reiterates the official recognition of UFOs by the Brazilian Air Force and the secrecy surrounding the topic in the US. It emphasizes the need for public education and psychological preparation. The article discusses Adamski's books and the concept of ufology as the study of UFO phenomena and their underlying purpose. It contrasts historical cosmological views with modern understanding, suggesting a shift towards a new race of beings on Earth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-NYT strongly advocates for the scientific investigation of UFO phenomena, emphasizing the importance of evidence, observation, and logical analysis. The magazine presents a clear stance that UFOs are real, non-terrestrial craft piloted by intelligent beings. There is a recurring theme of preparing humanity for contact and understanding the implications of extraterrestrial presence for our worldview and future. The editorial stance is one of open-mindedness towards unconventional information, while still grounding discussions in scientific principles and the need for verifiable data. The magazine also highlights the potential for UFOs to offer solutions to global problems, such as the threat of atomic war, and suggests a spiritual or evolutionary dimension to the phenomenon.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 11
Volume: 1
Date: June 1959

This issue of UFO-NYT focuses on UFO observations in Denmark, providing a detailed breakdown of reports received and specific sighting accounts. It also includes practical advice for amateur photographers interested in capturing UFO evidence and explores theories about the purpose of UFOs.

UFO Observations Over Denmark

The magazine begins by detailing the number of UFO reports received by SUFOI (The Danish UFO Information Organisation). In June 1959 alone, 153 reports were logged, with additional reports from May (43), April (7), and earlier months. By July 15, 1959, the total for the year was 525, bringing the cumulative total of reports to 829. The average of approximately 3 reports per day for 1959 is noted, though the data is still being compiled.

The issue highlights several specific sightings:

• Autumn 1939: A red, glowing object, described as twice the size of the sun, was seen descending over Sydhavnen in Copenhagen.
• September 1954: A lady on Langeland observed a red, metallic, disc-shaped object that zigzagged across the sky for 15 minutes.
• January 22, 1959: An object was observed near Stevns, Sjælland, described as 80 cm in diameter and grey-white, moving at 15-20 km/h.
• March 1, 1959: In Jylland, an orange-red sphere, about 1.5 times the size of the full moon, hovered near trees, causing the engines and lights of a motorcycle and a car to stop.
• April 4, 1959: A similar incident occurred where a car's engine stalled, and small flames appeared under the roof lining before the engine could be restarted.
• April 24, 1959: A two-øre sized, round, silver object was seen near Raunstrup Skov, reflecting sunlight, and then disappearing south at high speed.
• April 27, 1959: SUFOI members observed a white-green, cylinder-shaped object, followed by a smaller round object.
• May 1, 1959: A Saturn-shaped, reddish object, slightly larger than the full moon, was seen descending slowly near Brandlund.
• May 4, 1959: A cigar-shaped, yellow object, about 50 cm in diameter, was observed briefly over Copenhagen.
• May 14, 1959: A grey, cylinder-shaped object emitting a strong yellowish light, about 40 cm, was seen hovering low over the horizon in Aarhus.

Numerous other sightings from May are detailed, including objects observed over København, Marselis Boulevard in Aarhus, Sdr. Boulevard in København, Køge, and Ørvad Dambrug near Arden. The reports describe objects of various shapes (round, cigar-shaped, oval, disc-shaped) and colors (yellow, grey, red, blue-white, orange-red, purple, green), with estimated sizes ranging from a pea to twice the size of the sun.

June reports are particularly concentrated around the 3rd, 4th, 19th, 22nd, and 23rd of the month. A significant event on June 19th involved simultaneous observations across the country at approximately 22:30. These reports describe objects as round, blue-white, moving from southeast to northwest, with speeds comparable to jets or Sputniks. The objects were estimated to be 100-120 km away, at an altitude between 12 and 20 degrees above the horizon, possibly between Femern and Lübeck.

Other June sightings include:

• June 3: A 1.5 meter long, strongly luminous object was seen near Gandrup, described as having a luminous tail with clearer outlines.
• June 5: A cigar-shaped, dark grey object, estimated to be at least 50 meters long, was observed over Samsø, performing a 90-degree upward turn.
• June 5: Six green and red lights flew in formation from east to west over Langeland.
• June 6: A spherical and a cigar-shaped object were observed over Vesterbro, København, moving towards each other before one veered off rapidly.
• June 8: A white object, the size of a bicycle wheel, was seen near Grenå.
• June 10: A cigar-shaped, yellow object, about 25-30 cm at arm's length, was observed over København.
• June 15: A blue-grey object, the size of a ten-øre coin, was seen over Flensburg.
• June 22: A red-blue-yellow object, the size of the moon, was observed briefly over Stilling.
• June 22-23: An oblong, dark violet object, varying in shape, was seen over St. Heddinge.
• June 23: Two red, ten-øre sized, spherical objects were observed near Ringe, blinking irregularly before disappearing.
• June 23-24: Multiple reports of 1-4 blue-white, red, or yellowish lights hovering were attributed to naval exercises.
• June 25: Three yellowish luminous objects were seen hovering over Skarø, with one moving away and disappearing.
• June 25: Two elongated, silver-shining objects, about 150 cm long, moved slowly from WNW to NNW near Skærbæk.
• June 25: Four red-orange, self-luminous oval objects in a 'V' formation were observed near Grenå, with lights extinguishing after 3 minutes.
• June 26: A round black object and later a disc-shaped object were observed from a radio tower.
• June 29: Four disc-shaped, grey-black objects were observed over København, appearing to split and move east.

Flying Saucers: No Atomic War

This section presents a theory by Dr. Alberto Perego, director of the Electromagnetic Aeronautics Study in Rome, who claims that thousands of flying saucers from Mars or Venus are orbiting Earth to prevent an atomic war. He states that governments are aware of over 50,000 sightings and 4,000 landings, but these are kept secret to avoid panic and to prevent any single power bloc from becoming too dominant. Dr. Perego also claims evidence that six American aircraft were forced to land on a space platform, and their pilots were later debriefed to report on their experiences.

A separate anecdote describes Herr Güitta from Casablanca witnessing a green mass chasing him on the coast road in 1954. The object, described as a small grey disc, overtook him at incredible speed, causing a cold air movement that forced his car towards the left side of the road.

Advice and Guidance on UFO Photography

This section provides practical advice for amateur photographers interested in capturing UFOs. It emphasizes that any camera can be used, but for night photography, using the viewfinder might be difficult, suggesting aiming with the entire apparatus. Recommended settings include a wide aperture (smallest f-number) and shutter speeds of 1/50 or 1/100 second, with focus set to infinity. For objects that remain stationary, using a tripod and longer exposure times (up to 30 seconds, or even several minutes) is advised, even if it leads to overexposure, as it might allow for better reproduction later.

Photographers are encouraged to send their films to SUFOI Sjælland for development and copying, which will be done free of charge. Recommended film types for night photography include Agfa Isopan U, Ilford HP 3, Ilford HPS, Kodax Tri-X, and Perutz Peromnia 25, with speeds ranging from 22/10 DIN to 25/10 DIN. Films from 18/10 DIN are also usable.

Guidance is also provided for photographing landing traces, recommending a tripod, precise distance measurement, aperture 11, and varying shutter speeds. The process of casting traces in plaster is also mentioned.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the systematic collection and analysis of UFO sightings in Denmark. The magazine adopts a factual, report-driven approach, detailing numerous observations with specific times, locations, and descriptions of the phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into UFO reports, encouraging public participation through reporting and photography. The inclusion of Dr. Perego's theory suggests an openness to exploring extraterrestrial hypotheses. The practical advice on photography indicates a desire to gather more concrete evidence. The concluding remark, "A detector warning CAN be a greeting from space, always take the trouble to look if there is anything in the sky," reinforces the publication's commitment to observing and documenting aerial phenomena.
