UFO-NYT

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: January 1962
Publisher: S. U. F. O. I. (Scandinavian UFO-investigation)
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO-NYT, published by the Scandinavian UFO-investigation (S.U.F.O.I.), aims to foster knowledge and interest in the field of UFO phenomena. The magazine emphasizes that the articles published represent contributions to the understanding of UFO research, and the organization does not necessarily endorse all the views expressed.

Current Events and Space Exploration

The "Aktuelt" section, which will be temporarily replaced by a "Letter from America" insert, discusses the significant advancements in space exploration by Russia and the USA. It posits that this massive program is driven by the ultimate goal of revealing the truth about extraterrestrial visitors from planets like Mars and Venus to humanity. The article suggests that while some may believe space exploration is for military purposes, its true consequence is to facilitate the disclosure of this truth. It highlights that every rocket launch and satellite deployment breaks down barriers to cosmic freedom, moving humanity away from war, disease, and dictatorship. The author speculates that the immense sums spent on space research will eventually lead to a form of disarmament as nations realize the economic burden of both arms races and space programs.

Interview with Gustav Axelsson

The issue features an interview with Gustav Axelsson, who discusses the topic of cancer and its potential cures. Axelsson claims that all lactic acid cultures, such as yogurt and sauerkraut, are effective against cancer. He asserts that there are a dozen effective cancer cures in the world that are not publicly disclosed, and doctors who have attempted to help humanity with these methods have faced extreme persecution. He recounts a story about a farmer in the USA who discovered a natural remedy for cancer in herbs eaten by his horse, which had been diagnosed as terminal. This knowledge was passed down through generations and later used to treat cancer patients. The article references the book "You don't have to die" by Harry M. Hoxey and details the persecution faced by a doctor who collaborated with a professor named Ivy, and the subsequent murder of journalist Herbert Bailey, who exposed these events.

UFO Landing Investigation in Albury

A report details an investigation into a mysterious landing site near Albury, Australia, following an article in the "Albury Border Morning Mail." An investigative team from the Australian Flying Saucer Review interviewed witnesses, including Mr. F. Reynolds and his son, who reported seeing a large, unusual "camping wagon" with a red light that appeared to move in jerky motions. They also observed a fire. The next morning, the site was found to be a muddy patch with no discernible tracks, suggesting the object had vanished.

Historical Lunar Observations

The "Vor nærmeste nabo" (Our Nearest Neighbor) section presents a comprehensive historical catalog of observations of luminous objects and potential structures on the Moon, dating back to 1822. It details reports of ruins, lights, glowing arcs, strange formations, and even a possible "interplanetary meeting" in the Plato crater. Astronomers like Gruithuisen, Schmidt, and Trouvelot are mentioned, along with various craters and lunar features where these phenomena were observed. The article notes that by April 1871, 1600 reports of strange lights and geometric figures on the Moon had been recorded.

Cosmology and Life After Death

The "Kosmologi" section, titled "Livet efter døden er nu!" (Life After Death is Now!), explores the concept of interconnectedness between humans and beings from other planets. It suggests that we are not separated from beings in space except by a vast distance, and that we are linked by "eternal bonds." The article posits that extraterrestrial beings may possess enhanced memory and a deeper understanding of existence, potentially linking them to humans through spiritual connections. It suggests that the development of human consciousness will eventually lead to the realization that we are not alone and that reunions with loved ones are possible under certain conditions.

Other Articles and Notes

Scandinavian UFO Observations

This section details reports received by SUFOI between November 13 and December 8, 1961. A total of 28 reports were received, with 7 dismissed as likely not UFOs. All received reports were from 1961. Additionally, 14 detector alerts were recorded, bringing the 1961 total to 67. Two cases involved observations linked to detector alerts.

The issue includes a comprehensive table detailing UFO observations and detector alerts across Norway, Sweden, Germany (Tyskland), and the UK (Sverige) for various months, primarily in 1961. The table lists dates, days of the week, and specific observations or detector alerts.

Specific terrestrial sightings mentioned include:

• November 3, 1961: A small blue object moving up and down near the Moon in Holleby, Lolland, Denmark.
• November 4, 1961: A bright, almost white light illuminated a house in Haderslev, Denmark, followed by a spherical object about the size of a fist, moving slowly downwards and then disappearing.
• November 4, 1961 (evening): Three red, self-luminous objects flew over Halbergsgade, Aalborg, Denmark, with one performing zig-zag movements. Later, two more similar objects were seen.
• November 4, 1961 (approx. 21:00): A violet object, the size of ECHO I, was observed in Helsingør, Denmark, moving in an irregular circle and then straight.
• November 11, 1961: An oval object was observed hovering horizontally at a low altitude in Stevns, Denmark, later appearing vertical. A searchlight from the Stevns fort scanned the area.
• November 16, 1961: Three people in Birkerød, Denmark, observed a white-yellow disc moving from south to west, appearing about one-third the size of a full moon.
• November 18, 1961: Two observations: a reddish, pea-sized object moving southeast-north with wave-like movements near Als, Denmark, and a blue-violet object with a tail of sparks moving east-west near Bjarkesvej, Helsingør.
• November 19, 1961 (approx. 04:00): An egg-shaped object was observed in Nibe, Denmark, emitting a strong red light that turned yellow. It moved slowly downwards and disappeared.
• November 22, 1961: A red, pea-sized object flew from zenith to the horizon in 4 seconds in Nibe, Denmark. A detector also activated at another location in Nibe simultaneously.
• November 24, 1961: An elongated, pinkish light moved slowly over Nyborg, Denmark, hovering and tilting vertically before disappearing and reappearing. It then moved in a bow.
• November (date unspecified): Two telemeters observed green lights approaching rapidly in Hemmet, Denmark, passing overhead and disappearing to the southwest.
• November 27, 1961: A round, pea-sized object in Struer, Denmark, changed color from reddish to bluish, then yellow, and moved north at high speed with a tail.
• December 1, 1961: A landing was reported near Fredsted, Haderslev, Denmark. An illuminated, oval or cigar-shaped object, about 14 meters in size, emitted a white light. It then appeared to fly away towards the southeast.

Broader Implications and Theories

The magazine discusses the significant expenditure on space programs by governments, suggesting two main reasons: the need to solve the UFO mystery and the pursuit of space exploration for prestige and scientific advancement. The article posits that governments might be following up on encounters with UFO pilots, leading to the establishment of organizations like NASA.

It raises questions about why ordinary people are not informed about potential extraterrestrial life, drawing parallels to military regulations that penalize pilots for reporting UFOs. The author suggests that astronomers might face similar professional repercussions.

The article also touches upon the idea that Mars and other planets might harbor advanced civilizations, referencing historical astronomical observations and theories. It mentions Percivall Lowell's work on Martian canals and Flammarion's proposal to communicate with Mars using light signals.

Furthermore, the issue explores the connection between UFOs and natural phenomena, particularly earthquakes. It cites reports linking increased UFO sightings with seismic activity in areas like California and discusses theories about changes in Earth's magnetic poles and the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on these events.

This issue of UFO-NYT, identified as issue number 19, delves into various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, with a particular focus on the efforts of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) to gain access to government-held information. The magazine appears to be a Danish publication from the early 1960s, likely September 1961 given the reference to a September 1961 article.

NICAP's Campaign for Disclosure

The issue begins by detailing NICAP's warning to US Congressional leaders, including John W. McCormack and Overton Brooks, about the potential danger of the Soviet Union falsely claiming UFOs as secret weapons. NICAP presented a plan to the UFO subcommittee, chaired by Congressman Joseph E. Karth, which aimed to expedite the release of all UFO information held by the Air Force and prevent future secrecy. The article references an excerpt from 'UFO Investigator' (July-August 1961), which lists numerous congressmen who believe the Air Force should release its UFO data. It is stated that pilots have been ordered not to discuss UFO encounters publicly, and that the US Air Force has acknowledged UFO existence for years, yet continues to keep it secret.

The Tyndall Air Force Base Sighting

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a detailed report of a UFO sighting that occurred at Tyndall Air Force Base on May 20, 1961. For approximately 90 minutes, a strange, round, orange-white luminous object was observed maneuvering over the drone launch area. The object was tracked by two Air Force radar stations. A jet and a helicopter attempted to intercept it, but the object ascended rapidly and disappeared. The Air Force had reportedly kept this sighting from the public, but NICAP obtained a five-page report containing names, details of actions taken, and a report from helicopter pilot Captain Paul F. Vandergriff. The report confirms the date and time (2:50 AM), clear weather conditions, and a visibility of 10 miles. Pilot Garland L. Henson reported the object descending and then ascending with great speed, noting a momentary radio failure likely caused by electromagnetic interference from the object. Other personnel mentioned in connection with the report include Sgt. Hery J. Lacour, Capt. Allan E. Aaronson, and Sgt. Cecil L. Mallett.

The Question of Public Panic

Following the detailed report of the Tyndall AFB sighting, the magazine poses the question: Why does the US Air Force not officially acknowledge the existence of UFOs? It speculates whether the fear of public panic is the primary reason. The authors argue that the public, if convinced of UFO existence, would not necessarily panic when confronted with official confirmation, suggesting that the Air Force's secrecy is based on an unfounded fear of public reaction.

Cosmic Knowledge and Future Preparedness

The issue features a philosophical article titled "Hvordan skal vi ruste os til fremtiden" (How should we prepare for the future), translated from 'APPROACH' by Jakob Jensen. This section discusses the natural approach to human problems and the importance of integrating "cosmic knowledge" into daily life. It warns of impending global unrest far greater than current anxieties, attributing the causes to events set in motion long ago. The article suggests that humanity has witnessed previous civilizations rise and fall, some due to excessive use of atomic energy. It emphasizes that little evidence remains of these past collapses, urging readers to seek knowledge from "well-protected and cosmic sources." The author stresses the need for inner strength and clarity to navigate future challenges and to be a positive force for others. The piece criticizes modern materialism, where scientific and technical endeavors often lead to self-destruction rather than progress.

International UFO Reports

A brief report from "Moskva Radio" dated February 16, 1961, mentions a "non-terrestrial spaceship panic" gripping Russia, with reports of "small men" landing. It references a photograph published by 'Pravda' taken by a Polish scientist near the Earth's poles, which was described by other scientists as depicting a "fantastic flying machine." The report concludes that the average Russian will not accept denial of these events.

Editorial Notes and Subscriptions

The magazine includes sections for reader engagement, such as a call to become a member of SUFOI (likely a Danish UFO organization) and subscribe to UFO-NYT, with subscription details provided. It also lists contact persons for SUFOI across various regions of Denmark (Zealand, Funen, Jutland) as of July 1, 1961. Additionally, it mentions available audiovisual materials like the "Adamskiserien" and "Foredragsserien."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are government secrecy surrounding UFO phenomena, the efforts of civilian organizations like NICAP to achieve transparency, and the broader implications of UFO sightings for humanity's future and understanding of the universe. The editorial stance appears to be in favor of open disclosure of UFO information and critical of the military's perceived cover-up. There is also a philosophical undercurrent, suggesting that understanding UFOs is linked to a deeper, "cosmic" knowledge necessary for human survival and progress. The magazine actively promotes its own subscription and membership in related organizations, indicating a goal of building a community of UFO enthusiasts.
