UFO Nyt - Marts 1962

Magazine Overview

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

This issue of UFO NYT, published in March 1962, delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, space exploration, and scientific investigations. The magazine serves as a platform for disseminating information and fostering interest in UFO research.

Aktuelt (Current Affairs)

The 'Aktuelt' section discusses the non-occurrence of predicted doomsday events on February 4th, attributing the predictions to sectarians and linking them to a broader tendency to conflate UFOlogy with sectarianism. The author criticizes this conflation, arguing that it creates a 'lie' that hinders humanity's understanding of UFOs. The article contrasts this with positive experiences encountered within the USAF, where genuine interest in UFOs is found. It also touches upon a USAF statement claiming no evidence for the interplanetary origin of UFOs after 15 years of research, suggesting a power struggle within the US government and President Kennedy's efforts to counter the 'silence group' through a government commission.

NICAP's Action for Release of UFO Information

This article details NICAP's (The National Investigations Committee on Arial Phenomena) six-point plan presented to the US Congress. The plan aims to expedite the release of UFO information held by the Air Force and prevent further secrecy. NICAP highlights two main dangers: the risk of mistaking UFO formations for Soviet attacks, and the potential for the Soviet government to falsely claim UFOs are secret Russian weapons. The article explains NICAP's strategy of presenting evidence of misleading reports to Congress and proposes the creation of a new department to ensure the rapid release of information. It also notes the US Navy's distribution of recognition cards for two types of UFOs, indicating a divided military stance.

Astronautics Has Reached a Critical Stage

Authored by Jan Rolelein, this piece discusses the rapid advancements in space exploration, particularly the efforts to understand the Moon, Venus, and Mars. The author expresses conviction that intelligent life exists on other planets and that their advanced technology, evidenced by UFOs, confirms this. The article posits that the universal presence of the same elements across the universe, as shown by spectral analysis, supports the possibility of life elsewhere. It acknowledges the challenges in proving life, especially intelligent life, and discusses theories about life forms based on silicon rather than carbon. The author suggests that humanity will receive help from advanced extraterrestrial beings to solve cosmic mysteries, but emphasizes that this help is contingent on humanity's own free will and a move away from conflict.

Biometric Analysis

This section details experiments conducted by the Archer's Court research group using the Aura Biometer on original Adamski photographs of UFOs. The analysis, though complicated by previous handling of the photos, revealed 'anomalous characteristics' and suggested that some objects were undoubtedly spacecraft, while others were questionable. The article explains the principles of the Aura Biometer, which measures energy patterns and can be used to detect the true nature of objects and physical manifestations. It notes that the energy of these phenomena appears to travel at speeds far exceeding that of light. The analysis of Adamski's, Coniston's, and Brazil's saucer photos indicated they were identical. The findings suggest that these objects are controlled by human-like, intelligent life and that some may require 'recharging' from a mother ship.

Atomic Engines for Spacecraft

Reporting on a statement by Professor Otto Lutz, this article discusses the projected completion of atomic engines for spacecraft by the Soviet Union in 1964 and by the USA in 1965. The development of these engines is expected to enable the creation of large spacecraft capable of establishing bases on other planets, thus facilitating the determination of atmospheric composition, the existence of life, and the nature of any existing life forms. The article warns of potential dangers, such as the introduction of hardy microorganisms to Earth, and advises caution in planetary exploration. It also suggests that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations may have already visited Earth and established bases in inaccessible locations like oceans.

The Moons of Mars May Be Artificial

This piece explores theories presented by Soviet astronomer J. Schklowskij regarding the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. Their unusual orbital characteristics, particularly their speed and proximity to Mars, defy conventional cosmological models like the Kant-Laplace hypothesis. The article suggests that these moons might be artificial, possibly remnants of a long-lost Martian civilization. The tolerance of such theories in Soviet media is interpreted as a slow preparation of the public for information related to 'flying saucers' that the Soviet government may already possess.

Mars Covered in Ice

Another article presents the theory of Soviet astronomer V. D. Davydov, who suggests that the surface of Mars might be a vast ocean entirely covered by ice. The 'canals' of Mars are proposed to be enormous cracks in this ice. Davydov posits that liquid water could exist beneath the ice, potentially harboring life that has evolved significantly. This theory addresses the long-standing argument about the lack of water on Mars and opens the possibility of advanced life forms.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the investigation of UFO phenomena and related scientific advancements. There is a clear stance against secrecy and misinformation, advocating for transparency and the dissemination of knowledge. The editorial tone suggests a belief in the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life and advanced technology. The publication also critiques societal issues like war and sectarianism, viewing them as hindrances to human progress and understanding. The organization S.U.F.O.I. positions itself as a facilitator of this research, emphasizing that published articles represent contributions to knowledge without necessarily endorsing all views expressed within them.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 49
Date: May-June 1960
Publisher: SUFOI (The Danish UFO Information Center)

This issue of UFO-NYT, a Danish publication focused on unidentified flying objects, features a range of articles, reports, and discussions on UFO phenomena, scientific theories, and historical accounts.

Cover Story: "Billederne viser" (The Pictures Show)

The cover article introduces a "light beam" radio, an instrument developed by researcher John Otto in Chicago. This device uses invisible light beams for communication and is presented as a potential tool for contacting flying saucers. The article notes that members of the Kolding group in Denmark have also experimented with similar "light beam" technology, with plans to publish details in a future issue. Dr. Walther S. Huxford and A. H. Nethercot Jr. are shown testing the German "light beam" radio.

Key Articles and Reports

Cosmic Science: Questions and Answers

This section addresses two key questions:

• Mysterious Death Rays from Space: The article explains that these are not natural phenomena but are caused by atomic bomb explosions, which create an artificial barrier in the atmosphere. This barrier intensifies cosmic rays, leading to atmospheric poisoning. It suggests that only by ceasing atomic experiments can the atmosphere be cleansed, a process that would take years.
• Preventing Catastrophic Cyclones: The response is negative, stating that cyclones are natural phenomena and interfering with nature's order could lead to worse consequences. The article attributes these storms to changes in the polar jet stream interacting with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. It notes that while humans are only beginning to understand these atmospheric rivers, other planets have long studied them.

UFO Observations over Scandinavia

This report details UFO sightings logged by SUFOI between January 6 and February 9, 1962. A total of 11 reports were received, a lower number than usual, possibly due to poor observation weather. The cumulative total of reports to SUFOI reached 1783. The section also lists 140 detector alerts received over time.

Several specific sightings are described:

• December 16, 1961 (Vedbæk, Denmark): An observer and three witnesses saw a strong, orange, spherical object with pulsating light that descended and left a smoke trail.
• December 30-31, 1961 (Bergen, Norway): An observer reported a spherical object with a luminous corona moving horizontally with a slight dive, emitting light beams.
• January 2, 1962 (Vejle, Denmark): An object described as orange, with a bright light, moved from the harbor area and changed direction.
• January 2, 1962 (Vallensbæk Strand, Denmark): Two yellow, star-like objects were observed moving east-west; one disappeared, and the other remained stationary.
• January 2, 1962 (Østerbro, Copenhagen, Denmark): A mass of objects appeared like stars tearing loose and moving across the sky with flickering, white light.
• January 12, 1962 (Linkøping, Sweden): Three objects were observed: a round object with a smaller one below, followed by a large object with three luminous round spots inside.
• February 3, 1962 (Nibe, Denmark): A triangular object with a large corona, orange in color, was observed stationary in the northern sky.

Orgon, Light Effects, and Spaceships

This article by David Boadella introduces the concept of orgon energy, discovered by Dr. Wilhelm Reich. Orgon energy is described as a vital force present in living organisms and the environment, detectable by various instruments. Reich's research suggested that orgon energy has specific characteristics, including a blue-gray, luminous quality that can intensify and change color when stimulated. The article draws parallels between Reich's findings and the observed characteristics of UFOs, such as luminous effects, high speeds in silence, and unusual flight patterns. It suggests that orgon energy might be a key to understanding UFO phenomena.

Silicium (Silicon) as UFO Building Material

This piece discusses a theory by Dr. B. E. Finch, suggesting that UFOs are largely composed of silicone, a synthetic material capable of converting radiation energy into mechanical energy. The article posits that UFOs use quartz lenses to focus sunlight, which is then processed by silicone cells to power and control the craft. This theory is linked to the idea that planetary spacecraft might not be built but rather grow organically.

Heavenly Ships from the Past

This section explores ancient texts and myths that describe flying machines. It references the Indian epic Ramayana, which mentions Rama's "Vimana" (sky chariot), and the Mahabharata, which speaks of flying chariots built by Krishna's enemies. Other ancient Indian texts, like Puranas and Surya Siddhanta, are cited for their descriptions of beings and craft capable of flight. Similar accounts are found in ancient Chinese traditions, including descriptions of flying machines and parachutes.

Jodrell Bank Crosses Wires

This article recounts an incident involving signals received by Jodrell Bank in September-October 1961, initially believed to be from a Soviet Venus probe. The signals were analyzed, and Professor Alla Masevich of Moscow suggested they might have originated from Venus itself. However, Jodrell Bank later stated the signals were "locally emitted" and that they did not wish to be associated with flying saucer investigations, leading to a retraction and confusion.

Earth's Atmosphere

This article provides a scientific overview of Earth's atmospheric layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere. It details the characteristics of each layer, including their altitude, density, temperature, and phenomena like wind, clouds, auroras, and radio wave reflection. The article also touches upon the discovery of atmospheric gases extending much further into space than previously thought.

Book Review

"Planetenmenschen besuchen unsere Erde" by Karl L. Veit

This book is reviewed as a comprehensive handbook on UFO issues, compiling information from various sources. It is divided into 40 sections covering topics such as habitable zones in space, historical and modern UFO observations, lunar research, and statements from prominent figures.

Letters to the Editor

"Læserbrev" (Letter to the Editor)

A reader shares two stories from his childhood, told by his father, about mysterious aerial phenomena. One story describes a sighting of a four-winged mill-like object, interpreted as a warning before four farms burned down. The second story recounts tales of a glowing wheel seen in a valley called Løndal, which the reader now believes were descriptions of flying saucers and a large mothership, connecting them to his own UFO sighting experiences.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the reporting of UFO sightings, particularly in Scandinavia, the exploration of scientific theories related to UFOs (such as orgon energy and potential building materials), and the examination of historical and mythological accounts of aerial phenomena. The magazine also touches upon broader scientific topics like atmospheric science and the nature of cosmic rays. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting various theories and reports for the reader's consideration, while also acknowledging the skepticism and attempts to explain away sightings.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 59
Date: September 1961

This issue of UFO-NYT focuses on the physiological effects of high altitudes on the human body, drawing connections to space travel and the challenges of atmospheric pressure differences. It also features reports on alleged UFO sightings and landings.

Højdevirkninger på legemet (Altitude Effects on the Body)

This extensive article, originally published in the New Zealand Herald on May 10, 1961, explores how varying atmospheric pressures at different altitudes affect the human body. The article begins by stating that air is composed of nitrogen and oxygen in a 4:1 ratio, with oxygen being crucial for cellular function and body heat. While nitrogen is not considered vital for life, the body takes in fresh oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide.

Up to an altitude of approximately 70,000 feet, the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen remains constant. However, the article explains why climbing Mount Everest (29,000 feet) requires supplemental oxygen and why pilots flying at high altitudes need it. The key factor is air pressure: the higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, and consequently, the less oxygen the body can absorb. This leads to symptoms of oxygen deficiency.

At 18,000 feet, the air pressure is half that at sea level, and at 34,000 feet, it's only a quarter. Humans can survive and perform moderate work at altitudes up to 25,000 feet if they ascend slowly, allowing for acclimatization. Some animals can survive at 28,000 feet for about a week before showing signs of oxygen deprivation. A person not acclimatized to 28,000 feet would likely lose consciousness and die within a couple of hours if suddenly exposed to that altitude.

Acclimatization is a critical process. Indigenous populations in the Andes and Himalayas live at altitudes of around 15,000 feet and are naturally acclimatized. A person ascending rapidly to this height would experience difficulty breathing, headaches, nausea, and possibly vomiting. However, with rest, most can adapt. Prolonged stays at high altitudes allow for increased physical activity without breathlessness.

Acclimatization involves several physiological changes: a reduced oxygen supply in the blood triggers an automatic increase in breathing depth and rate. The lungs expand to increase the surface area for oxygen absorption. The kidneys adjust to maintain the body's equilibrium by regulating the excretion of carbon dioxide. Initially, the pulse rate increases but returns to normal within a week, enabling the heart to function efficiently. The most significant change is a marked increase in red blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen. This condition is known as polycythemia. A similar increase in red blood cells is observed in infants with heart defects, where the cause is the heart's inability to supply sufficient oxygenated blood to the tissues.

The article concludes by noting that George Adamski mentioned the importance of pressure regulation controls in spacecraft when entering atmospheres different from their home planet, highlighting the relevance of these physiological considerations for space travel.

Bekræftet landing (Confirmed Landing)

This section reports on an incident from "Le Courrier Interplanétaire" in October 1960. Salvatore Cianci, a 43-year-old jeweler from Syrakus, Sicily, reported seeing a small man dressed in a phosphorescent overall, wearing a diving helmet, and having "wing-like limbs" instead of arms. His wife, Lara Cianci, corroborated his account. Cianci, described as honest and credible, stated that the small, phosphorescent man vanished suddenly. The incident occurred while the couple was driving on the outskirts of Syrakus. Gendarmes have initiated an investigation, and military officers from the Syrakus area have also interviewed Cianci. He expressed that he would not have believed such a story if told by someone else, but he stood by his statement.

Ukendt fænomen, eller ... (Unknown Phenomenon, or ...)

This brief report from December 11, 1959, from Hjørunfjorden, Alesund, Norway, mentions that locals reported seeing a burning aircraft crash into the mountains. The aircraft appeared to be on fire upon impact. However, local law enforcement officials (lensmannen Riise and lensmannen Tandstad) had received no reports of a crash, leaving the mystery unsolved. The report is attributed to the Skiensavisen "Telemark Arbeiderblad".
