UFO Nyt - Oktober 1959

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue Date: October 1959
Publisher: S.U.F.O.I. (Scandinavian UFO-investigation)
Country of Publication: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO-NYT, the publication of the Scandinavian UFO-investigation (S.U.F.O.I.), aims to foster knowledge and interest in the field of UFO phenomena. The magazine presents various reports, articles, and discussions related to UFO sightings and related scientific and philosophical concepts.

Aktuelt (Current Events)

The "Aktuelt" section on page 3 reports on UFO sightings from August 27th. A luminous object was seen near Gammelstrup, Denmark, moving towards Yding. Near Urup forest, a large orange object performed 'fantastic maneuvers'. Similar sightings of white-yellow luminous objects were reported from Yding and Vrold. The Horsens Østbirk department of SUFOI received multiple reports between 20:40 and 20:41, suggesting the same object was seen in the Horsens and Aarhus regions, with an estimated speed of 15,000 km/h. Another sighting occurred at Fejrup Mark, near Knebel, where a hunter and his son observed an object that moved south, stopped, ascended, and then moved north. The experience was unsettling, with their dog showing distress and the witnesses experiencing a strange taste and stomach upset.

The "Aktuelt" section also includes a report from SUFOI Horsens detailing an event on Thursday, August 27th, at 22:00. A luminous object was sighted near Gammelstrup, moving towards Yding. Reports from Urup forest described a large orange object performing fantastic maneuvers. Melding from Yding and Vrold described white-yellow luminous objects tumbling in the sky. SUFOI investigators compiled these reports, finding that the timing and maneuvers were consistent, pointing to the same object. Calculations based on the observations suggested a diameter of 15-30 meters and a speed of up to 15,000 km/h. The article humorously dismisses scientific explanations like hallucinations, migratory birds, or psychological phenomena, sarcastically stating, "Something like that must have been what the 17 observers described so consistently, because it can hardly have been one of these flying saucers, such nonsense." (A.A.)

Om Emnet: Implosion i stedet for eksplosion (On the Subject: Implosion Instead of Explosion)

Written by engineer Eugen Strømdørfer, this article (pages 4-5) challenges the notion that Victor Schauberger's discovery was the greatest of millennia, stating that he himself had laid the groundwork for an "implosion motor" about 30 years prior. Strømdørfer argues that human technology, unlike nature which avoids resistance, progresses by creating resistance, leading to a destructive path exemplified by atomic technology. He posits that nature's energy is constant and can be transformed from potential to kinetic energy through natural processes. Current engines, he claims, create unnatural pressure, heat, expansion, and explosion, leading to energy loss, pollution, and material wear. He criticizes the development of atomic power plants due to the lack of protection against radiation and the problem of nuclear waste. Strømdørfer believes Schauberger's "suction screw" or "suction spiral" is on the path to discovering the implosion motor. He concludes that building an "implosion motor" is feasible and could lead to various types of energy generators and propulsion systems with minimal wear and high efficiency. However, he doubts its immediate realization due to the entrenched interests of the 'explosion motor' and atomic industries. He also notes that mass production of implosion motors would render the automotive, aerospace, and military industries obsolete, a shock the world is not ready for.

UFO-observation over Danmark (UFO Observations over Denmark)

This section (pages 10) details UFO reports received by SUFOI from August 15th to September 15th, 1959. A total of 52 reports were logged for this period, with a breakdown by month showing: July 1950 (1), September 1958 (1), February 1959 (1), April 1959 (3), May 1959 (6), June 1959 (5), July 1959 (7), and August 1959 (28). The cumulative number of SUFOI reports up to January 1st, 1959, was 308, and after January 1st, 1959, it reached 651, bringing the total to 959.

Specific reports include:

• July 1950 (Vanløse): A man observed three shining, oval-shaped objects, the size of the full moon, gliding low from east to west for two minutes.
• September 1958 (Veggerby): A couple saw a long, dark object silhouetted against bright windows, moving slowly from west to north without sound for about 10 minutes.
• March 1959 (West Funen): A farmhand and three friends observed a reddish, coin-sized object hovering still in the western sky for a quarter of an hour.
• April 5th (Hampen station): A sales driver witnessed a round, orange-red object, about 1 cm in size, moving slowly and hopping towards the south, landing approximately 1.5 km away. Seven witnesses observed this.
• August 1959 (North of Lindenborg): A feed master saw a dimly lit round object about 30 degrees above the southern horizon, moving slowly downwards and landing approximately 1.5 km south.

A table provides a detailed breakdown of sightings by day and month for January through December.

En Landing (A Landing)

This article (page 6) recounts a landing incident experienced by Marius Dewilde, a former sailor, on September 10th, 1954, near Blanc-Misseron, France. While reading in his living room, his dog began barking frantically. Dewilde went outside and saw a dark, rust-brown "mass" on the railway line. His dog became distressed. He then saw two "beings" of a small stature but broad-shouldered, wearing what appeared to be diving helmets and suits, moving towards the mass. A strong, green light beam emitted from the mass temporarily paralyzed Dewilde. The mass then ascended like a helicopter, emitting black smoke, and flew off at high speed towards Anzin. The object was described as bell-shaped, about 3 meters high and 5-6 meters in diameter, and glowed red before disappearing within a minute. Dewilde reported the incident to the police and gendarmerie, who investigated and found unusual, clean imprints on three railway sleepers, suggesting a weight of 30 tons. The stones between the sleepers were brittle, as if affected by high temperatures, and black smoke traces were found.

Litteratur (Literature)

This section (page 7-8) announces that UFO-Horsens will review books on UFOs monthly. The reviews will describe the content of the books without offering personal evaluations. Books can be purchased from Tysk Bogimport A/S in Copenhagen. Several books are listed with their prices:

• Donald E. Keyhoe: "Flying Saucers from Outer Space" (reduced price to 8.50 kr.)
• Donald E. Keyhoe: "Flying Saucer Conspiracy" (16.50 kr.)
• George Adamski: "Flying Saucers have Landed" (13.75 kr.)
• D. H. Menzel: "Flying Saucers" (22.05 kr.)
• A. Michel: "Truth about Flying Saucers" (16.50 kr.) and "Flying Saucers and the Straightline mystery" (33.55 kr.)
• I. Norkin: "Saucer Diary" (22.35 kr.)
• B. & H. Reeve: "Flying Saucer Pilgrimage" (26.10 kr.)

• F. Scully: "Behind tre Flying Saucers" (12.10 kr.)
• H. T. Wilkins: "Flying Saucers uncensored" (17.60 kr.) and "World roundup of UFO sightings and events" (26.25 kr.)

The article highlights Donald E. Keyhoe's book, "Flying Saucers from Outer Space," detailing his work as a former Major in the U.S. Marine Corps and his efforts to obtain information from the U.S. Air Force regarding UFOs. Keyhoe claims that since 1951, high-ranking officials have been secretly informed about flying saucers, and he has seen most of the evidence presented at these meetings, revealing a "sobering picture."

Two brief reports from Keyhoe's book are cited:

1. October 29, 1952: Two pilots flying F-94 jets over Hempstead, Long Island, encountered a fast-moving object with a bright white light. The UFO performed tight circles, evading the jets for eight minutes before accelerating beyond the speed of sound.
2. January 9, 1953: A B-29 bomber crew observed a V-formation of blue-lit objects approaching at high speed over Santa Ana, California. The objects braked suddenly, then flew off.

The section concludes by emphasizing the importance of making this information accessible to the public, as many view the UFO question as irrelevant.

Cosmic Science: Spørgsmål og svar (Questions and Answers)

This section (pages 9) features a Q&A with George Adamski and Lucy Mc. Ginnis, translated from their work. The questions address why UFO crash incidents are no longer reported, the reason extraterrestrials do not share their protective technology, and why they are so technologically advanced.

• Q7: Why don't we hear about extraterrestrials crashing anymore, as we did in 1950? A: Previous crashes were due to atmospheric radiation interfering with their "Air conditioning" systems, causing loss of control. They have since developed personal devices and larger atmospheric purifiers to prevent such incidents.
• Q8: Why don't they give us such protection? A: Their protective instruments are made from minerals and elements from their own planets, harmonizing with their biology. Protection for Earthlings must be made from Earth's elements to harmonize with human biology. Research is ongoing to find these necessary components.
• Q9: Why are extraterrestrials so far ahead of us? A: Extraterrestrials have lived in harmony for millions of years, recognizing themselves as brothers and sisters of one planetary family, children of the Infinite Creator. This unity allowed them to focus on developing their understanding of nature's laws and technologies, enabling them to build advanced ships and travel beyond their world. In contrast, human history has been marked by division and personal ambition, leading to destruction rather than construction, resulting in sickness, misery, and ignorance.

The article contrasts this with the human tendency to claim ownership of Earth and its resources, while extraterrestrials view their planet as belonging to the Creator and share its products equally. It concludes that division leads to living as strangers, while brotherhood fosters peace and harmony.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea that UFOs are real, intelligently controlled craft from outer space. It highlights reports of sightings and landings, and advocates for greater public awareness and official investigation into the phenomenon. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to share their observations. There is a clear skepticism towards conventional scientific explanations for UFO phenomena, with a leaning towards the extraordinary. The article on implosion engines suggests a belief in advanced, non-conventional technologies, possibly linked to extraterrestrial knowledge. The Q&A section reinforces the idea of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations with a more harmonious societal structure than Earth's.

This issue of UFO-NYT, dated August 1959, presents a compilation of numerous UFO sightings and related phenomena reported primarily in Denmark during the summer of that year, alongside international reports and expert opinions. The magazine aims to document and analyze these occurrences, often suggesting non-terrestrial origins.

Danish Sightings - August 1959

The issue details a series of observations from various locations across Denmark. On August 1st, two reports from Vanløse described a round, black, two-øre sized object ascending high in the northeast sky. A functional employee and his wife observed it for about 2 minutes.

On August 2nd, four adults near an airfield observed a dark, needle-headed object hovering near a glider. The object then accelerated, changed its trajectory vertically, and disappeared into a cirrus cloud. It reappeared 3 seconds later, descending vertically, then hovering again before accelerating upwards and disappearing.

In Horsens, on August 3rd, a shopkeeper observed a yellowish, round object through his window for 25 minutes. The object remained stationary but appeared to grow and shrink irregularly.

Also on August 3rd, at Vester Hassing station, a representative saw a round, white object high in the northwest sky for a few seconds. It was the size of a coffee cup saucer, appeared suddenly, and moved horizontally for about 1-1.5 km, emitting a trail of fire. Its speed was described as extremely high.

In Brovst, a brickyard worker reported seeing two pea-sized, orange-yellow objects moving from south to north for 1 minute on August 3rd. They disappeared behind a cloud, with one reappearing briefly.

On August 4th, a 17-year-old apprentice near Skærbæk observed a long object, about 10 cm at arm's length, high in the eastern sky for half an hour. It moved west, becoming smaller until it disappeared.

A security guard from Padborg reported seeing three round, fire-yellow objects on August 5th, between 23:30 and 24:00. The objects were described as forming a thick fire-yellow streak ending in a sphere and were visible for only a moment.

On August 6th, from an apartment in Copenhagen, a white-yellow object, about 2 cm, was observed. It initially appeared as a bright star, then flared up to half the size of the sun before returning to star size, then flaring up again to the size of a tennis ball. This occurred twice before the object disappeared behind a house roof.

In Svendborg, five adults observed an object on August 7th, from 22:35 to 22:43, appearing as a faintly luminous star that blinked and grew brighter, changing color from reddish-yellow to orange, yellow, and white, hopping up and down.

Electrician Frederiksen from Viborg reported on August 8th seeing a disc-shaped object moving at high speed across the sky. He described it as slightly larger than the moon, with a strong luminous halo. Inside the object, four black stripes were visible, forming a grid, with four bright lights at the intersection points. The halo was described as light blue/green, and the object was at an altitude of about 45 degrees.

On August 15th, a couple driving near Hedensted observed an orange-red object, twice the diameter of the moon, shaped like a boat, approaching from the southwest. It changed direction, moving back towards the southwest at a speed slightly greater than their car (approx. 40 km/h). It gradually became smaller and disappeared behind the town of Hedensted, pulsating as it neared.

On August 19th, a farmhand near Asperup observed a 'fireball' descend into and then rise from the water. The object reappeared and disappeared in the same direction.

On August 20th, three adults in Varde observed a white, oval, pea-sized object shortly after two jet fighters passed. It flew horizontally, hovered, then moved vertically and horizontally again, without sound.

An engaged couple in Tved saw a half-moon shaped object on August 20th for 4 minutes. It appeared where the sun had just set, hovered, then straightened out and moved slowly west.

On the evening of August 20th, several people on Midtfyn observed 2-3 bright yellow objects in the western sky, moving slowly with strange turns and rotations before disappearing south.

A mechanic in Aalborg observed a cigar-shaped object moving from west to south on August 20th. A smaller round object detached from it, dived down from the larger one, and disappeared. The larger object then disappeared.

A farmer from Taarup reported observing an object the size of an electric bulb, flying low and glowing bright red, changing to white, possibly at 100 km/h, disappearing behind trees and reappearing over Storebælt. He was certain it was not an aircraft due to the lack of noise.

On August 28th, several people in Bogense observed 18 cone-shaped, whitish objects flying in a long formation over Æbelø, moving slowly towards Fyn. They hovered for extended periods before losing light and disappearing.

Historical Case: Flying Saucer Landing in 1344

The magazine presents a historical account from the "Pruggerschen Kronik" (published in Austria in 1685) describing a 'terribly glowing block' the size and shape of a tub that fell from the sky in Feldkirk, Austria, on a Tuesday before Easter in 1344. The object remained on the ground for a considerable time before rising into the air and disappearing into the clouds. The article questions conventional explanations, suggesting it was an object from another world.

International Reports

From Australia: A report from Brisbane dated August 17, 1959, details observations from New Guinea by an Anglican priest, Father W. B. Gill. He reported flying saucers carrying 'illuminated men' who waved and signaled to mission folk. The report describes a fleet of up to 8 flying objects, including a mothership, and exchanges of signals between the mothership and 12 mission personnel. Detailed timings, witness names, and sketches of the objects from June 21st, 26th, 27th, and 28th, 1959, are mentioned.

Father Gill described an event on June 27th between 18:00 and 18:30, where he and 11 others saw a large flying object and two smaller ones. Four figures appeared on top of the large object, which looked like a mothership. These figures seemed to be performing actions on the deck. One figure stopped and looked down, and when Father Gill waved, the figure waved back. The figures then moved slowly towards the ground, stopped, and the four figures went under deck. Later that night, a torch was lit, and the object responded with various movements. It moved slowly towards the ground, stopped, and the figures went under deck. The object was active for four hours that night.

Father Gill stated that these objects were undoubtedly controlled by beings of one kind or another. He also noted that the large object appeared to be the same one seen by 38 witnesses the previous night, which remained stationary for 25 minutes. He estimated the object's diameter to be 35 units at the bottom and 20 at the top, assuming the men were of average height. The object's color was faintly yellow when stationary and bright when moving, shifting from blinding white to deep red and blue-green. A beam of blue light was emitted from the top, illuminating the men from the chest up. The report was forwarded to N. E. Cruterell, Flying Saucer Review's representative in New Guinea, and then to O. H. Judge.

Other International Mentions: The issue also briefly mentions observations in the USA, including a report from Old Saybrook, Connecticut, on November 25, 1958, of about 40 large, reddish objects flying over the area at 21:00, brighter than stars, with one object being larger than the others.

Expert Opinions on Flying Saucers

The magazine compiles statements from various international figures regarding flying saucers:

• Oberst MacLaughlin, a rocket expert, stated in 1949 that he had often seen flying saucers follow and overtake rockets at White Sands.
• President Truman stated in a press conference on April 4, 1950, that he could guarantee that flying saucers, if they existed, were not of earthly origin.
• General Johnson, former Minister of Defence, stated on August 4, 1950, that if they knew who constructed flying saucers, they would gladly order squadrons.
• Air Marshal Lord Dowding stated that the presence of these craft is obvious and he has fully accepted them.
• Pierre Clostermann, a French aviation pioneer, stated that flying saucers are of extraterrestrial origin and that neither Russians nor Americans could construct such craft, as their capabilities far exceed current science.
• Professor Walter Riedel, former head of the Penemünde rocket base, suggested that these craft might come from Mars and use the moon's far side as a base.
• Grabriel Voisin, a pioneer in French aviation, stated that these extraterrestrial travelers are separated from us by a huge barrier – our backward technical ability and our arrogant self-knowledge.
• Angelo Cerico, President of the Defence Commission of the Italian Senate, stated that it is a phenomenon that interests all of humanity.
• General Twining spoke on May 15, 1954, about flying saucers, suggesting they might come from another planet.
• Admiral Delmer Fahrney, former chief of the US Navy's rocket program, stated on January 16, 1957, that credible reports show objects entering our atmosphere at very high speeds, controlled by thinking beings.
• Louis Breguet, a French aircraft manufacturer, stated that flying saucers use a propulsion method different from ours and that the only plausible explanation is that they come from another world.
• Professor Hideo Itokawa, a Japanese scientist, stated that flying saucers could come from another world.
• Professor Herman Oberth stated that extraterrestrial intelligences have been observing Earth and visiting through their flying saucers for millennia.
• Senator Barry Goldwater stated that flying saucers, or unidentified flying objects, exist.
• William Lear, president of Lear A/S, stated that flying saucers likely come from space, controlled by beings of high intelligence.
• General L. M. Chassin, coordinator of the French Air Force, wrote a preface to Aime Michel's book "Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery," urging an international observation program and stating that the time for civilian researchers to handle this is over, as governments must take responsibility to avert a global tragedy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the prevalence of UFO sightings, the detailed description of their characteristics and behaviors, and the consistent suggestion of extraterrestrial origin. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of investigating these phenomena seriously, with many articles and quotes pointing towards non-terrestrial intelligence as the source of flying saucers. The magazine promotes the idea that these are not mere fantasies but real occurrences that warrant scientific and governmental attention. The publication also offers related products like UFO detectors and slide shows, indicating an active engagement with the UFO community.
