UFO Nyt - November 1960

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO NYT
Issue Date: November 1960
Publisher: S.U.F.O.I. (Scandinavian UFO-investigation)
Country of Publication: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO NYT marks the second anniversary of its publication, reflecting on its growth and future plans. The magazine aims to foster knowledge and interest in UFO phenomena, publishing articles that contribute to the understanding of UFO research without necessarily endorsing all presented viewpoints.

AKTUELT (Current Events)

The editorial section celebrates the two-year anniversary of UFO NYT, which began publication in November 1958. Initially modest with around 500 subscribers who were skeptical, the magazine saw a rapid increase in readership, reaching approximately 2000 subscribers per month within its first year. This success is attributed to its straightforward reporting on flying saucers. To meet growing demand and incorporate content previously found in 'Kosmisk Studiehæfte' and 'Kontakt Programmet', the magazine is expanding from 16 to 20 pages starting January 1st. This expansion will lead to a price increase from 1.00 kr. to 1.25 kr. per issue, and from 12 kr. to 16.00 kr. for annual subscriptions. The editors express their commitment to providing current and informative articles to keep readers abreast of developments, acknowledging that some may be critical of SUFOI but asserting confidence in their actions.

UFOer over Japan (UFOs over Japan)

This section details several UFO sightings reported in Japan. It references a previous report about orange-glowing, lens-shaped UFOs over Hokkaido, with one object making a mid-flight turn. A confirmation of a similar sighting comes from the crew of a meteorological station in Sado, Japan, who observed a strange, glowing object on November 10, 1958. The object appeared about 11 degrees west-northwest of the Aikawa weather station, moved eastward for 7-8 minutes, and was visible for about 35 km. The report describes the object's shape as similar to a flat lens with indistinct ends, its color like a candle flame but whiter, and its movement as fast. The height was estimated as high. The article notes the similarity to the Hokkaido sighting, suggesting the color difference might be due to speed or lighting conditions. Another report describes an object seen by a witness who observed it grow from a small dot to about 1.5 times the apparent size of the sun within a minute, moving slowly at first before accelerating and disappearing southwards. The witness described the color similarly to the Sado crew's observation. The meteorological station crew concluded that the object was too large for an airplane and not a satellite, suggesting it might be a 'flying saucer'. The article concludes that these glowing, lens-shaped objects, appearing in orange or white, have been maneuvering over Japanese territory for some time.

Separately, a report from Tokio describes a flying object that witnesses identified as a giant meteor, an American or Russian rocket, which crashed burning into the sea off the coast of Hamamatsu in Mid-Japan. The mysterious celestial body was seen by many people on the coast and from ships. It crashed from an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters at an estimated speed of 2,600 kilometers per hour. Authorities are investigating the nature of the phenomenon.

Status 1959

This section addresses the perceived secrecy and skepticism surrounding the 'Flying Saucer' phenomenon. It presents arguments based on private correspondence, suggesting that flying saucers possess superior maneuverability, acceleration, and deceleration, rendering human military aircraft and ships obsolete. The article posits that these craft can freely enter national airspace, demonstrating a technological superiority. It also mentions reports of beings observed outside their machines, with descriptions that align with previous accounts. The text suggests that these beings might represent a peaceful, cultural exchange, contrasting their philosophy with Earth's focus on conflict and arms races. The article criticizes a narrow viewpoint that dismisses all UFO reports, arguing that probability laws suggest that frequently repeated observations point towards truth. It references accounts from G. Adamski, Reinholdt Schmidt, Truman Betherum, Bick Nelson, and Freitas Geumaras, noting the consistency in their technical, psychological, and philosophical descriptions.

The article further discusses how evidence might be suppressed or distorted, comparing it to how early reports of atomic bombs were met with ridicule. It questions why the testimony of six witnesses might not be accepted when that of one or two can lead to convictions in court, referencing the G. Adamski case in Desert Centre in 1952. The disappearance of Adamski's color film, which reportedly showed a mothership, is mentioned as an instance of evidence being compromised. The author cites Robert Hall's skepticism that no observation has been scientifically proven, arguing that this stance is too dismissive. The article suggests that opponents of UFO research might spread false stories of monsters and demons to frighten people, similar to how an indigenous person might react to a pilot in a spacesuit. It proposes that the consistent reports from various credible witnesses suggest a shared reality, and that mathematical probability supports the truth of these recurring accounts.

UFO - observationer over Skandinavien (UFO - Observations over Scandinavia)

This section compiles UFO sighting reports received by SUFOI between September 11 and October 15, 1960, totaling 18 reports from Denmark. It also provides a cumulative count of 1224 reports received to date: 317 before January 1, 1959; 773 from 1959; and 134 from 1960.

• Specific incidents detailed include:
• February-March 1956: A bus driver and four passengers near Usserød observed four red, glowing objects flying in formation at high speed from West to East.
• August 1957: Two sisters near Øster Ulslev saw a red, spherical object moving from West to East, disappearing into clouds after 5 minutes.
• August 1959: A schoolboy in Birkerød observed a yellow, round object for about 10 minutes, which then descended slowly towards the ground.

A table is included showing daily observations for July, August, September, October, November, and December, with entries indicating the day of the week and the number of sightings or details.

Værd at huske (Worth Remembering)

This section highlights a statement made by Colonel Adil de Oliveira of the Brazilian Air Force on December 2, 1954. He declared that flying saucers are a reality, based on extensive investigation of information and evidence from around the world, particularly observations made in Brazil. This announcement marked the first time a military authority publicly acknowledged the existence of unidentified flying objects, dismissing previous explanations such as conventional aircraft, balloons, meteors, natural phenomena, hallucinations, or mass hysteria. The statement emphasized that UFOs are real, and no government can afford to ignore reports about them. Efforts would be made to identify these UFOs, described as "world-changing aircraft." The reason for their presence in Earth's atmosphere and their origin remained unknown.

The section concludes with a quote attributed to Thoreau: "It is never too late to give up prejudice."

Dele af UFO fundet (Part of a UFO Found)

An UPI report from March 1960 states that the American organization APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organisation) in Alamogordo, New Mexico, informed the US Air Force that they possess a piece of a flying saucer that crashed through the Earth's atmosphere. Investigations indicated that the material did not originate from Earth. The report from the UFO research group, comprising astronomers, aerospace experts, and UFO researchers, further stated that numerous people witnessed the crash.

Cosmic Science - Spørgsmål og svar (Questions and Answers)

This section features a Q&A with George Adamski and Lucy Mc. Ginnis, discussing various aspects of extraterrestrial life and technology.

• Question 45: Asks if initiative would be stifled without competition, as seen on Earth.
• Answer: Argues that true freedom fosters initiative. It suggests that in a more advanced civilization, people would pursue their inner goals rather than just basic needs. It describes beings who are powerful but peaceful, and who engage in activities for self-improvement and joy. It implies that such beings would encourage natural talents rather than suppress them, and that boredom stems from mental immaturity.
• Question 46: Asks if 'progress' among space people means the same as on Earth.
• Answer: Affirms that progress is a law of the infinite, applicable everywhere. It states that even though visitors have traveled for centuries, they continue to improve their spacecraft. The answer describes a test flight of a new spacecraft, noting its advanced design and instruments. It also mentions a device that can depict the reactions of people on Earth when their thoughts are directed at them. The answer concludes that the human nature for seeking improvement and experiencing joy in new achievements is universal.
• Question 47: Asks for a more detailed explanation of walking on a spaceship in space, as described in 'Inside the Space Ships'.
• Answer: Explains that a force field, comparable to a planet's atmosphere, surrounds these ships. This field allows for movement within it as if on a planet's surface. The author likens walking on the spaceship to walking on the deck of a large ocean liner, emphasizing the vast, flat surface and the absence of a feeling of curvature. The principle is based on the fundamental laws of physics governing their home planet.

Fortiden i sten (The Past in Stone)

This short piece discusses the immense age of the Earth and the concept of geological time. It mentions a fossilized fish from the Furs molerklinter, estimated to be about 45 million years old, which is considered recent compared to the Earth's five billion years. It uses an Arab interpretation of time, where a mountain is worn down by a small bird over thousands of years, to illustrate the vastness of eternity. The article notes that the magazine will feature a story about the history of the small island of Limfjordsø.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the reality of UFOs and the importance of investigating these phenomena. It advocates for an open mind, challenging skepticism and perceived cover-ups. The editorial stance is one of promoting knowledge and understanding, encouraging readers to follow developments in the field. There is a recurring theme of the advanced technology and peaceful nature of extraterrestrial visitors, contrasted with human conflicts and limitations. The magazine also highlights the challenges of evidence verification and the potential for suppression of information by authorities or skeptical groups.

This issue of UFO-NYT, spanning pages 171-175 and dated 1958, is a Danish publication focused on UFO phenomena. It includes a collection of reported sightings, a review of UFO literature, and a detailed account of a contactee experience.

Reported Sightings

The magazine presents numerous UFO sightings from Denmark, detailing specific dates, times, and locations. These reports describe a variety of objects with different characteristics:

• July 31st: An oval object was seen moving from SW to NE near Vejby Strand, then changed direction to NW and disappeared in a zig-zag pattern.
• August 14th: In Nakskov, an engaged couple and their two daughters observed three luminous objects appearing in the east and flying at high speed towards the west.
• August 18th: A couple driving between Vojens and Haderslev reported their car being illuminated from behind and above for approximately one minute.
• August 25th: Three men in Branderup, Sønderjylland, witnessed a round luminous object ascend, turn south, and disappear, seemingly dropping smaller objects that extinguished.
• September 2nd: In Kolding, a woman awoke to a sensation of something unusual outside. She and her husband observed an object resembling a moon that disappeared over about 10 minutes. The same phenomenon was reportedly seen five days prior.
• September 6th: Near Helsingør, a man observed an object shaped like a drop with a fiery tail, moving at an estimated speed of 3-4 times that of a jet fighter, and performing an 'eight' pattern.
• September 11th: On Kongelundsvejen, Amager, a man saw a silver object dive towards the ground, stop, and then tilt. Its shape was described as convex above and flat below.
• September 12th: Three reports from Amager detail:
• A faint orange object moving at colossal speed from the north, described as a 'slanted path towards the water', later appearing from the water and moving towards the south.
• A couple saw a red-glowing object stop and then disappear suddenly.
• A bluish object observed at very high altitude moving from the southeast.
• September 16th: An engineer in Odense observed a slightly yellowish object moving in an irregular zig-zag pattern, similar to ECHO sightings.
• September 24th: In Assens, three dark grey oval objects were seen low on the horizon. The top object turned into a disc shape, then descended between the other two before all three disappeared.

Detector Alerts: The issue also notes several instances where detectors registered activity on Amager (Kastrupvej, Prøvestensallé, Oxford Allé) between September 14th and October 11th.

UFO over Sønderjylland: A separate section details sightings of a strong, luminous object moving from north to south on Sunday, September 25th. Reports came from various locations in Sønderjylland, including Hejnsvig, Starup, Kastvraa, Skanderborg, Skjoldager, Faarhus, Lunding, Toftlund, Vandling, Christiansfeldt, Troldkjær, and Haderslev. Descriptions varied, with some noting a blue-white light, a falling motion, and one instance of a 'Chinese explosion' at low altitude.

UFO Literature Review

The magazine provides an extensive list and brief descriptions of UFO-related books available in Danish, Swedish, German, and English. The reviews highlight:

• Danish Books:
• *Ombord i Rumskibene* (Inside the Spaceships) by George Adamski (Kr. 16.75): Praised as an essential read for ufologists, this book is described as the cheapest and most accurate Danish translation, featuring photos and diagrams.

K. Jessup, Dino Kraspedon, Aimé Michel, Edward J. Ruppelt, Harold T. Wilkins, and George Hunt Williamson.

*The Books of Charles Fort* is also highlighted as a significant source, containing 40,000 notes on mysterious and unusual occurrences.

Contactee Report: Brazil

A detailed account of a landing incident in Brazil is presented:

• December 21st, 1957: Six young people in a jeep near Ponta Pora, Mato Grosso, Brazil, were approached by two spherical UFOs. The objects followed the jeep and flew close to it. Despite being red-hot, they emitted no heat. The objects eventually turned away and disappeared.
• February 15th, 1958: One of the witnesses saw a similar UFO again. This time, the UFO landed about 60 meters from the road, seemingly to block the jeep. The UFO followed the jeep to town, allowing residents to see it. The next day, a group attempted to make contact but were deterred by fear.
• March 3rd, 1958: The same witness, along with another group, saw a red-glowing object descend very close to their vehicle. The object, about the size of the vehicle, followed them. They sought refuge in a wooded area, but the UFO waited for them. The driver then accelerated towards the UFO, which narrowly avoided a collision by ascending and flying away erratically, though it continued to follow at a distance.
