UFO Nyt - Maj 1962

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue Date: May 1962
Publisher: S.U.F.O.I. (Scandinavian UFO-investigation)
Country of Publication: Sweden
Language: Swedish

This issue of UFO-NYT, dated May 1962, presents a blend of UFO-related news, scientific speculation, and philosophical discussions, with a strong emphasis on the work and teachings of contactees George Adamski and C. A. Honey.

Aktuelt (Current Affairs)

The "Aktuelt" section announces a significant shift in the magazine's content, stating that more material from Adamski and his associates will be featured. The editor explains that this decision was made after years of consideration, and the information will be disseminated through UFO-NYT. This approach is anticipated to be met with enthusiasm by those who understand Adamski's work and with reservation by others. The section acknowledges that some information might be used by detractors but asserts that the time for secrecy is over, and the UFO phenomenon is essentially understood, awaiting only official confirmation. The focus will be on presenting results rather than theories, as authorities are believed to already possess the necessary knowledge.

George Adamski has reportedly withdrawn from his international UFO work at the end of 1961, passing the responsibility to C. A. Honey of Anaheim, California. Adamski's current activities will be revealed through UFO-NYT. C. A. Honey, now managing the "Get Acquainted Program" initiated by Adamski, has launched a new, small, duplicated publication called "Kosmisk Nyhedsbrev" (Cosmic Newsletter) starting January 1, 1962. This newsletter aims to serve as a contact point between Adamski and his like-minded followers globally, facilitating a more consistent connection. The article encourages readers to study the materials carefully to grasp the true UFO picture.

It is stated that great events are forthcoming, bringing both joy and sorrow. The text highlights that Adamski is collaborating with individuals whose scientific knowledge far surpasses that of their terrestrial counterparts. The rapid pace of development has created a divide between scientific and ordinary understanding. The newsletter is intended to help readers understand the broader context and find their own footing based on truth, understanding, harmony, and peace.

An "Erklæring" (Declaration) from George Adamski confirms his transition to a new field of work as a teacher of Cosmic Philosophy and Abstract Science. He has transferred his previous responsibilities to C. A. Honey, who will act as his representative in the United States. Adamski mentions being entrusted with a new task by "the brothers" and acknowledges Honey's role in taking over the initial part of his work, which will grant him the freedom needed for crucial tasks.

Introduktion af kosmisk nyhedsbrev (Introduction of the Cosmic Newsletter)

This section introduces the "Kosmisk Nyhedsbrev" as the first in a series designed to provide reliable information worldwide. Its primary goal is to clarify confusion surrounding the arrival of "planetaries" (extraterrestrials). The author agrees with the U.S. Air Force that many saucer reports and contactee accounts are not what they claim to be. The newsletter promises to present verifiable, scientific information derived from personal, physical contacts and experiences aboard interplanetary craft, rather than from spiritualistic means. It emphasizes that Adamski is not the only one having such experiences but is the only one publicly acknowledging them. The author stresses that these contacts cannot be arranged and could cease at any time.

The section also addresses a legal case where a "contactee" was found guilty of defrauding a widow of $5,000 in Oakland, California, by claiming to have crystals that could heal sick children. This incident is presented as an example of fraudulent claims within the UFO community.

The article states that George Adamski is the only one who has stood the test of time and proven his claims. The newsletter will not support astral or psychic contact claims, with reasons to be elaborated in future issues. It is clarified that the space beings working with Adamski do not use mediums, as mind-to-mind communication can be influenced by personal desires and beliefs. Physical contact is preferred by the planetaries, although even telepathic exchanges can lead to misunderstandings. The presence of many extraterrestrial representatives would only increase confusion, which the opposition desires. Therefore, only one person serves as a liaison to the skeptical world.

Videnskab (Science)

This section discusses the scientific aspects related to Adamski's work, particularly his book "Flying Saucers Farewell." It mentions that newspapers and reviewers have generated discussion about Adamski's "revised solar system." The book, submitted to the publisher in July 1960, proposes that the Sun emits positive radiation, and planets are attracted by negative force fields from asteroid belts, which provide light and heat, creating Earth-like temperatures and atmospheres. The article quotes Gobind Behari Lal from the "Los Angeles Examiner" (August 20, 1961), who discusses protons as hydrogen nuclei and their role in the solar wind affecting Earth's atmosphere. The text notes that scientists have revealed the Sun's emitted particles are of a positive nature.

Further evidence of Adamski's influence is cited from a "Missiles and Space" article (July 1961) about General Electric's research into magnetic fields for shielding spacecraft from cosmic radiation. The article points out that Adamski had discussed similar concepts months earlier.

The section addresses skepticism regarding Adamski's claims about human life on outer planets. It contrasts the traditional view of Jupiter having extremely low temperatures with a newer idea, attributed to Carl Sagan of the University of California, suggesting that Jupiter's clouds act as a "greenhouse," maintaining a surface temperature of around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Sagan's hypothesis is mentioned in relation to "Radiation Research."

Regarding Venus, it is stated that life there is unlikely due to extreme temperatures (7000 degrees Fahrenheit), making it a "scorching greenhouse." The Earth is also described as having a high-temperature layer in its atmosphere. The article mentions that physical evidence of extraterrestrial life was reportedly found in fragments of a 97-year-old meteorite analyzed by scientists using mass spectrometry, infrared, and ultraviolet spectrography. However, other scientists, lacking knowledge of the findings, immediately denied their significance.

An article from the "Los Angeles Times" (October 5, 1961) titled "Science is confused about climate changes" is referenced. The confusion stems from contradictory climate trends: cooling in Russia and Greenland despite a warming period since 1900, while the United States, Central Europe, and the Asian Pacific coast are warming. Arctic regions show the most significant warming trend. The article notes that crops are growing further north in Iceland and Canada, and Soviet ports are ice-free for more days of the year. The western Atlantic is warmer than the eastern, and cod populations have declined significantly, attributed to a 3.6-degree Fahrenheit change in water temperature.

Mr. Adamski's book "Flying Saucers Farewell" is said to further explain these upcoming changes. The article encourages readers to consult the book, specifically page 52, for details.

Verdensomspændende forstyrrelser (Worldwide Disturbances)

This section discusses ongoing global disturbances, attributing them to Earth and the solar system entering a transitional period. These disturbances are expected to continue for several years and will affect both geophysical aspects and societal structures. True security and peace will only come after this transitional phase is over. The article suggests that Earth is undergoing a slow change, affecting all elements and minerals, including humans. Similar to how humans react to weather changes, they will react to these larger transformations. Uncertainty will persist until nature's evolution is complete, after which humanity will find stability.

The current state of uncertainty could lead to catastrophic actions by humans attempting to correct complex situations. The text advises patience and understanding, allowing nature to follow its course. It is suggested that elements will adapt to serve humanity even better than before. Many prophecies about the future are seen as reflections of these expectations, driven by human thoughts. The article warns against succumbing to emotional stress and encourages calmness. It uses the analogy of crossing a swamp to reach a beautiful meadow, implying that current societal ideologies, a mix of good and bad, must pass for progress.

A Soviet research claim suggests that the climate in Antarctica is warming. This hypothesis, first presented in the 1950s by Professor Viktor Buinitskij, is supported by observations in Hvalbugten. Researcher Vjatjeslav Averjanov notes that this trend extends to western Antarctica, with gradual climate change occurring in the central parts of the ice continent. Air temperatures near Shackleton have reportedly risen by 3.6 degrees Celsius over the last 50 years.

Filosofi (Philosophy)

This section explores three theories about the origin of galaxies and interstellar regions: atheistic, pantheistic, and theistic. The atheistic theory posits that solar systems have always existed without cause or beginning. The pantheistic theory suggests that solar systems created themselves through inherent natural abilities, capable of self-development without an external creator. The theistic theory proposes creation by a higher intelligence. The author finds all three theories difficult to comprehend intellectually.

The atheistic theory is challenged for its impossibility of conceiving something existing without a beginning and the need for a cause for any change. The pantheistic theory is also deemed problematic, as it requires the concept of "nothingness" having the ability to create itself, which is seen as a contradiction. The idea of pre-existing particles forming matter, like water molecules forming clouds, is presented, but the question of the origin of the first atom and the "creation field" remains unanswered, referencing astronomer Fred Hoyle's theory about interstellar hydrogen clouds.

The theistic theory also faces the question of the origin of the first cause (God). If the first cause is finite, it implies limitations and the need for something beyond it. If it is infinite, it must be independent, without internal connections, and absolute, which is beyond human comprehension. The conclusion is that the nature and origin of the first cause are unfathomable.

Every phenomenon and law has a cause, and every effect has a cause. The article asserts that a first cause must be accepted for all things, though its nature is incomprehensible.

Kontaktpåstande (Contact Claims)

This section addresses the issue of distinguishing between genuine and fraudulent contactees. The author states that only George Adamski is supported, not because others are necessarily false, but due to firsthand evidence of many being frauds. Extraterrestrials have reportedly identified the genuine contacts. The author cannot verify claims made by individuals and will only support those confirmed by extraterrestrials.

Psychic contacts are explicitly dismissed as not being genuine contacts with space beings, but rather spiritual experiences without extraterrestrial significance. The criteria for evaluating messages from space beings are provided: messages containing divisions, curses, prophecies with specific dates, promises of personal gain, or inducing fear, unease, or dissatisfaction are to be rejected. Conversely, messages that align with cosmic laws, natural laws, and promote harmony and self-acceptance are to be valued, regardless of their origin.

Spørgsmål og svar (Questions and Answers)

Question 1: Why did Adamski title his third book "Flying Saucers Farewell"? Does it mean the space beings are leaving, or Adamski is leaving them?

Answer: Mr. Adamski is moving into a different field of work related to space beings, focusing on providing greater service to humanity. He will continue to collaborate with them and share information through this newsletter. The title also reflects the increasing number of "saucer cults" and "pseudo-psychic religions" that have emerged, leading the space beings to create a new program.

Question 2: Many people who have studied psychic phenomena are suddenly confused after reading Mr. Adamski's books. Can you explain this?

Answer: The magazine clarifies that there is no conflict with true psychics or gifted individuals, but rather with "banana sellers" who claim direct spiritual contact. True mediums do not link saucers with mysticism. The space beings do not use mediums or psychic means for communication with us. Telepathy is distinct from psychic phenomena, though psychic phenomena are part of telepathy. The article explains that telepathy has six channels, three of which are undesirable and can lead to discrimination, hatred, and division. The first undesirable channel involves the thoughts of the 2.5 billion minds on Earth, which are often negative. The second involves thoughts from lower-developed planets. The third involves discarnate entities. True mediums do not claim to speak with the dead and work with impressions from higher sources. Messages from the undesirable channels are filled with personal names or predictions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the evolving nature of UFO communication, moving from direct sightings to deeper philosophical and scientific explanations of cosmic principles. The magazine champions the work of George Adamski and C. A. Honey, positioning them as reliable sources of information about extraterrestrial contact and cosmic laws. There is a clear distinction made between physical contact with space beings and psychic or spiritualistic phenomena, with the former being endorsed and the latter dismissed as unreliable or fraudulent. The issue also touches upon scientific theories regarding planetary environments and climate change, linking them to broader cosmic influences. The editorial stance is one of promoting a rational, evidence-based understanding of UFOs, while acknowledging the limitations of human comprehension when dealing with profound cosmic truths and the origins of existence.

This issue of UFO-NYT, spanning pages 89-98, appears to be a compilation of articles and reports from June 1962, focusing on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial communication, and related scientific and societal concerns. The magazine presents a mix of speculative theories, eyewitness accounts, and scientific discussions, reflecting the ufological interests of the era.

Channels of Cosmic Impressions

The issue begins by explaining three channels through which 'Cosmic Impressions' are received. The first is from the 'Cosmic Cause or True Life Force,' which transmits without judgment. The second channel originates from planets more advanced than Earth, conveying thoughts and ideas without discrimination. The third is a direct cell-to-cell communication, where every atom in the universe is capable of 'talking' the cosmic language, independent of the human brain. These three methods are presented as the only means to aid humanity's growth and development.

Questions and Answers with Contactees

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a Q&A section, featuring questions from readers and answers, presumably from contactees or researchers. Topics include:

• Lost Saucers: A reader inquires about the number of flying saucers that have crashed and been recovered. The answer mentions at least six instances, referencing Frank Scully's book "Flyvende Tallerken" for details.
• George Adamski's Activities: The current activities of George Adamski are discussed, noting he is preparing for more journeys and has released his fourth book, "Kosmisk filosofi," intended for study groups. He may also teach 'Cosmic Philosophy' and 'Telepathy' if there is sufficient interest.
• Aging of Extraterrestrials: A question about whether extraterrestrials age like humans is addressed. The answer explains that it depends on their advancement, lifespan, and training. While they age, their longer lifespans allow them to appear youthful for extended periods, and they still experience death and rebirth.
• Intervention in Nuclear War: A crucial question asks if extraterrestrials would intervene to prevent nuclear war. The answer is a firm 'no' to both direct intervention and prevention. The principle of self-determination is emphasized, stating that each individual and planet must solve its own problems. Extraterrestrials are working to advise governments and humanity against nuclear war, but ultimately, human free will dictates the outcome.

Venus' Political Relevance

An article titled "Venus' politiske aktualitet" (Venus' Political Relevance), sourced from 'LE COURRIER INTERPLANETAIRE,' discusses the interest in Venus. It questions why so much effort is directed towards space exploration when Earth has many problems. The article suggests that mysterious beings have appeared since World War II, necessitating identification and verification of testimonies. It highlights that classical astronomy is being re-examined due to new findings about Venus, Mars, and the Moon. The article mentions Dr. John D. Kraus's observation of signals from Venus in 1956, described as rhythmic and possibly coded, leading to speculation about intelligent life.

UFO Observations in Scandinavia

Another section details UFO observations reported to SUFOI (presumably a Scandinavian UFO organization) between March 10 and April 11, 1962. A total of 28 reports were received for this period, adding to a cumulative total of 1830 reports. The article notes a recent increase in observations after a lull. Several specific sightings are described:

• June 1961: A sailor observed a reddish light near Køge, Denmark, which disappeared when his boat's lantern was lit. It reappeared later, flying east.
• March 5, 1961: An observer in Fånum, Denmark, saw a fiery red object descend towards the ground, disappearing without a trace.
• March 6, 1961: Two yellow-orange luminous objects were seen near Lyngerup, Denmark, with a strong glow. They blinked on and off.
• March 7, 1961: Three similar objects were observed in the same area, smaller than the previous day's, with condensation trails.
• March 13, 1961: A clear, blue-white object was seen lying on the ground near Funder, Denmark, followed by smaller objects. The observer felt an instinctual unease and did not approach them.
• March 18, 1961: An oval or cigar-shaped object was observed near Odense, Denmark, hovering for 10 minutes before moving away. It was described as flaming red with a black core and tails.
• March 18, 1961: A needle-head sized dark object was seen near Fruens Bøge, Denmark, hovering and then disappearing.
• March 19, 1961: A white and blue object with a red tail was seen near Nyborg, Denmark, moving west. It was described as pea-sized and visible for 15 seconds.
• March 19, 1961: A similar orange object with two green tails was seen near Store Heddinge, Denmark, moving at high speed.
• March 23, 1961: A rectangular, white object with round spots was observed near Nibe, Denmark, flying from southeast to north.

The Tunguska Mystery

The issue delves into the Tunguska event of 1908 in Siberia. Initially attributed to a meteor, a 1927 expedition found no crater but observed widespread devastation, trees flattened, and evidence of immense heat and pressure. Later, Dr. Alexander Kazentsev, a participant in the Hiroshima atomic bomb investigation, noted similarities between the Tunguska event and the effects of nuclear weapons, particularly the way trees were stripped of their branches. Subsequent expeditions found metal fragments and evidence of radiation sickness in the local population, leading to the conclusion that an atomic-powered craft of enormous size may have exploded over the area.

Preventive Medicine and Radiation Dangers

A lengthy article discusses "Præventiv lægevidenskab" (Preventive Medicine), focusing on the dangers of radiation. It highlights that even small doses of radioactive radiation can cause mutations in human genes, potentially leading to degenerative deformities in offspring. The article cites experiments on mice showing mutations from relatively low radiation levels and warns that if humans react similarly, future generations could be severely affected. It mentions the risks associated with nuclear weapons testing and atomic energy facilities, noting that thousands of people are employed in these industries and are constantly exposed to radiation. The article expresses concern about the long-term genetic consequences for humanity.

Navy Acknowledges UFOs

An article titled "Opnav – 94 – P 3B" reports that the US Navy has authorized identification charts for UFOs, to be displayed on command bridges of ships. These charts include sketches of typical UFO shapes, described as round or cigar-shaped. The article suggests this is an official acknowledgment of UFO existence by the Navy, despite denials from the Air Force. The purpose of these charts is to help identify potential threats, distinguishing UFOs from Soviet missiles or aircraft.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-NYT consistently emphasizes the potential dangers of nuclear war and the pervasive threat of radiation from atomic activities. It promotes the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence as a source of wisdom and guidance, particularly in matters of peace and human development, while strongly upholding the principle of free will. The magazine also highlights the importance of observation and reporting of UFO phenomena, suggesting a growing official acknowledgment of their reality. The editorial stance appears to be one of caution regarding human technological advancements, particularly in the nuclear field, and an open, albeit critical, engagement with the possibility of extraterrestrial contact and influence.

This issue of UFO-NYT, identified by the number 99, features a cover headline "Nyheder fra rummet" (News from space). The magazine is published in Denmark and is in Danish.

Article 1: Analysis of Symbols and UFOs

The first article discusses a man who analyzed symbols from a UFO landing negative, rearranging them to create a diagram of a reconnaissance ship. This analysis allegedly led to an understanding of the craft's propulsion system. The author of the article states that while other interpretations of the symbols exist, this is the only one they endorse because it was accepted by those who provided the symbols. The article notes that mediumistic interpretations have been inaccurate, filled with personal desires and false prophecies, and have not aligned with the content of the symbols. The author promises to share more correct translations if they become available.

Article 2: "Kosmisk filosofi" - A New Book

This section reviews a new book titled "Kosmisk filosofi" (Cosmic Philosophy) by George Adamski. The book, along with "Telepati" (Telepathy), is intended to serve as textbooks for study circles on cosmic philosophy worldwide. It is described as a small book of 87 pages containing invaluable information. The book is bound with a gold-embossed spine and its 19 chapters cover topics such as sensing and inspiration, consciousness, the mind and body, belief, reincarnation, emotional balance, free will, relaxation, ancient wisdom, past civilizations, and more. The book is explicitly stated to be unavailable through regular bookstores and is intended for the serious seeker interested in the philosophical and scientific lines presented by the "interplanetarerne" (interplanetary beings). It is described as non-religious, apolitical, and explanatory of human life. George Adamski himself describes the book as a course in self-enlightenment or a personal bible, designed to aid growth in knowledge. The article also mentions that other books by Adamski, privately printed and not widely distributed, are available and are more expensive than his regular publications.

Article 3: Secret Meeting on Interstellar Communication

This article reports on a secret meeting held in November 1961, revealed by Walter Sullivan in the New York Times. The meeting, attended by scientists and industry professionals, discussed the possibility of communication with other worlds. Participants were asked to believe that signals from other worlds were reaching Earth and that the main challenge was to intercept them. The meeting was organized by the National Academy of Sciences at Green Bank, West Virginia, the location of Project Ozma, which studies signals from space. Dr. Philip Morrison of Cornell University, responsible for the theoretical aspects of Project Ozma, explained that a common communication channel would be needed for other civilizations to contact Earth. Due to time dilation effects from distant stars, signals would likely contain a large amount of lexical information, serving as a form of language lesson to aid understanding. Direct two-way communication (question and answer) would be impossible due to the time phenomenon.

Article 4: UFO Sightings from Newspapers

This section compiles several brief reports of UFO sightings from various Danish newspapers:

• January 27: Skive Folkeblad asks, "Cold for our descendants?"
• February 17: Skive Folkeblad questions, "Is there life on Jupiter?" and mentions talking with stars.
• March 7: Ny Tid, Ålborg, reports a mysterious sphere over Læsø.
• March 12: Skive Folkeblad reports on a potential joint US-Soviet trip to the Moon and Mars at half price.
• March 15: Skive Folkeblad states, "The Earth did not perish."
• March 24: Skive Folkeblad poses the question, "What is death?" and discusses a journey through the Earth's interior with a ground rocket.
• March 31: Skive Folkeblad asserts, "The Moon is earthly ground."

Article 5: Senator McCormack's Skepticism of Air Force UFO Explanations

The article criticizes the US Air Force's stance that UFOs are merely misidentifications of known phenomena, suggesting it's a way to dismiss a growing portion of the population suffering from "compulsive disorders in the visual center." It questions the intent behind this policy. The report from NICAP states that Senator John W. McCormack is dissatisfied with the Air Force's explanations, believing they have not been entirely honest. McCormack feels that some UFOs are real and cannot be explained away as common phenomena. He points out that the Air Force attributes all observations to known phenomena like stars, meteors, balloons, and aircraft, which are then mistaken for something extraordinary. McCormack believes the Air Force has not provided all information and that a minority of UFO reports, which cannot be explained, should be given high priority. He states that while they cannot confirm extraterrestrial origin without evidence of life on other planets, they cannot dismiss these observations. He emphasizes that many competent witnesses, including pilots and individuals with special backgrounds, have seen these objects, and their credibility cannot be easily dismissed. He asserts that these are not mere hallucinations or misidentifications, as some UFOs have been simultaneously observed visually and by radar. Senator McCormack has urged the Senate to address the issue.

Article 6: Soviet Astronomical Discoveries

Russia claims its scientists have discovered enormous new galaxies where stars are born and powerful cosmic rays originate. This was announced by astronomer Viktor Ambartsumyan, described by Tass news agency as the first to prove the existence of young star clusters, considered a key discovery in the last decade. These new types of galaxies, termed "non-stationary - unstable or blue," are composed of gases that are apparently used to create new stars. Studying these galaxies and their clusters could lead to the discovery of entirely new physical phenomena and properties of matter.

Article 7: Spacecraft Log - Mercury-Atlas 6

This section details the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, which took place on February 20, 1962. The mission, conducted by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from Cape Canaveral, had primary objectives to send a man into orbit, return him safely, and assess human and spacecraft capabilities. The primary results were the successful achievement of three orbits and the recovery of the capsule. The flight program details the launch at 14:47 GMT, the use of an Atlas 109D rocket with a liftoff weight of approximately 260,000 pounds. The spacecraft was 93 feet high. The mission aimed to place the spacecraft in orbit around Earth and bring it back to a predetermined area. The orbit data includes a low point of 97.6 miles, a high point of 159.5 miles, an inclination of 32.5 degrees, an average speed of 17,545 miles per hour, and a duration of 88.2 minutes per orbit. The spacecraft's dimensions were 9 feet 6 inches high with a 6-foot base diameter, weighing 4,100 pounds at launch, 2,900 pounds in orbit, and 2,400 pounds after recovery. Its shape was conical with a cylindrical top. Instruments included two cameras, vital biomedical monitoring systems, and rangefinders. Radio transmitters included HF and UHF, along with radar recovery beacons. The spacecraft was powered by three 3000-watt batteries and two 1500-watt batteries. Supplementary data reveals that the spacecraft, named "Friendship 7," carried astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. and was recovered in the Atlantic northwest of Puerto Rico at 24:04 GMT. Initial examinations showed the astronaut was well. This marked the first manned American orbital flight. A problem occurred with the automatic control system, which the astronaut manually corrected. A faulty distance signal indicated the heat shield might have detached, leading to a decision not to fire the retro-rockets. The source is cited as NASA.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained phenomena of UFOs, the exploration of space, and philosophical considerations related to extraterrestrial life and consciousness. The magazine appears to maintain an open-minded stance towards UFO reports, presenting eyewitness accounts and questioning official explanations. It also dedicates significant space to scientific advancements in space exploration, such as the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, and touches upon philosophical concepts related to human existence and the universe. The editorial stance seems to encourage critical thinking and a deeper investigation into the unknown, particularly concerning UFOs, while also celebrating human achievements in space.
