Aktuelt (Current Events)

This section, written by H.C., discusses current global events such as earthquakes, floods, storms, and sonic booms, linking them to warnings about impending issues. It suggests that these are not mere predictions but scientific facts from "neighboring planets." The author criticizes humanity's destructive path, citing daily atomic explosions, radioactive contamination, mutations, and natural disasters. The piece questions the effectiveness and duration of "visitors" helping humanity and urges readers to remain vigilant and contribute to a better future.

A report from "Evening News" (March 23, 1962) is cited, detailing the formation of a US organization to discover extraterrestrial life, including scientists like Sir Bernard Lovell. Dr. Harrison Brown from the California Institute of Technology is quoted on the high probability of life in the universe. The article notes that "LUFORO" welcomes the initiative but expresses a personal sentiment that the allure might be in the distance, while proximity reveals mundane explanations like weather balloons and car headlights.

UFO Observations over Scandinavia

This detailed report covers UFO sightings received by SUFOI between September 12 and October 12, 1962, totaling 14 reports and 12 detector alerts. A cumulative statistic shows 1921 reports received by SUFOI to date, broken down by year. The report highlights a significant sighting over Læsø on June 7, where a large object (estimated 100-300 meters in diameter) was observed for nearly an hour, appearing stationary. Similar objects were reported the next day. The object was observed from Korsør and Nyborg, with detailed descriptions of its shape (round with an indentation and a spot) and apparent rotation. Condensation trails from jet fighters were noted at a higher altitude.

Further sightings are reported from Langeland, with the object seen at various bearings throughout the afternoon. Reports from Klintholm on Møn describe the object changing from a "luminous lifebuoy" to a spherical shape as the sun set, appearing light green and elliptical. Another observer near Stege saw the object ascend slightly before disappearing as the sun set. Sightings from Møns Klint described a spherical object with two bright spots and a "growth," colored blue-white.

A significant incident on August 1 involved a luminous object observed 20 nautical miles northeast of Hirtshals. A fishing skipper reported a hexagonal or round, violet object with three sharp lights, rotating slowly. It was observed for over an hour and occasionally disappeared behind clouds.

Additional reports include a sighting on September 25 in Store Heddinge, described as a long object appearing in three segments (round light, dark gap, red light). On September 28, two orange, oval objects with white tails were seen flying in formation from northwest to zenith before separating. On October 3, two similar orange, oval objects were observed near Nibe, with one merging into the other, followed by two small white fireballs descending from a cloud.

Ekstrabladet (Newspaper Excerpt)

A clipping from "Ekstrabladet" dated September 25, 1962, features a quote from Soviet cosmonaut German Titov, who expresses his belief in meeting people on Mars and theorizes about potential past visits by Martians to Earth. He suggests that future human explorers on Mars might find ancient monuments confirming this.

Medlem af SUFOI (Membership of SUFOI)

This section announces a change in SUFOI's membership policy, effective January 1, 1963. The annual membership fee will be abolished. Instead, anyone subscribing to UFO-NYT will automatically be considered a member if they wish. This change is attributed to the increased cost of UFO-NYT (now 2 kr. per issue), which would have necessitated a fee increase. To avoid overburdening members, the organization opted to integrate membership with subscriptions.

The organizational structure will remain largely the same, with the secretariat being dissolved and its duties returning to H.C. Petersen. Libraries, the report center, clipping center, translation center, and accounting office will continue their functions. The announcement also notes that SUFOI will no longer distribute materials other than UFO-NYT unless specified with title, scope, and price. Members wishing to purchase special materials must send an addressed, stamped envelope with their order. A "support fund" is also mentioned, with donations to be sent to Irma Andersen in Randers.

Regeringsbeviser (Government Proofs)

This article discusses a conference held in Rio de Janeiro in 1956 by a secret department of the Brazilian Air Force. Witnesses Eduard Keffel and Joao Martins presented photographic evidence of UFOs, which, despite thorough investigation, could not be proven as forgeries. The article references a 1955 conference of Brazilian pilots where "flying discs" were discussed, leading to a unanimous conclusion that they exist, are real, and are highly developed craft of non-terrestrial origin. The Brazilian Air Force officially acknowledged this in 1955 and again in 1958.

Spredte bemærkninger (Scattered Remarks)

Written by C.A. Honey, this piece addresses reader reactions to a previous statement about not reading philosophy books, except for Adamski's "Cosmic Philosophy." The author defends their approach, stating that the philosophy discussed is learned from "space people" via George Adamski and aims to describe their worldview, not to support personal biases. Honey asserts that this philosophy covers all aspects of life and death and offers a path to understanding beyond earthly knowledge. The author also clarifies that the rejection of psychic and occult practices in relation to UFOs is a direct communication from the space people and is also found in Adamski's books.

George Adamski Speaks

George Adamski addresses numerous questions and letters, explaining that he cannot personally reply to all due to the volume of correspondence. He discusses a large-scale program he is involved in, aimed at helping humanity survive and evolve, which he calls the "Spiritual Crusade for Survival." He emphasizes the need to eliminate the threat of annihilation before building a better society. Adamski stresses that criticizing or doubting the "Brothers" (presumably the space beings) is akin to doubting the Creator, as they are instruments of the Creator's will to save civilization from its "own madness."

Adamski recounts a recent trip to Washington, D.C., where he fulfilled a mission related to the peaceful use of space. He also describes a positive experience on a radio program in New York, hosted by Lange John Nebel, where he discussed UFOs with James Moseley. He highlights the program's format, which allowed the public to judge the arguments presented.

He mentions a professor from an Ohio university who was impressed by the radio program, finding it highly informative. Adamski refutes rumors that he and his former secretary were bought off by a "silencing group," asserting that truth is more valuable than gold. He expresses gratitude for scientific support from Rey d' Aquila in Holland, whose archaeological findings could help enlighten the world. Adamski advocates for supporting the "good" in all aspects of human society, rejecting mysticism lacking proof, and focusing on living reality rather than past mysteries.

He advises patience and hard work for societal change, emphasizing the need to unite positive aspects of society without religious dogma to achieve a better life, comparable to that on other planets. Adamski warns against ego inflation among collaborators and stresses humility and service to the Creator. He concludes by noting that progress is being made in understanding communication, referencing his own proposals from 1958 on telepathy.

Filosofi (Philosophy)

This section, attributed to Sven Olov Larsson, delves into the concept of "consciousness." It defines consciousness as the origin of all manifestations, the "First Cause" or "Cosmic Soul," which permeates the universe and time. Each individual is seen as a focal point of action within this vast ocean of intelligent force. The journey of learning involves expanding one's ideas and consciousness, following one's "feelings" (consciousness).

The "mind" is described as the pathway through which consciousness expresses its ideas. Each cell possesses a degree of intelligence and a "mind" of its own, enabling it to receive thought impressions and perceive its surroundings. The author contrasts "mortal thoughts" (ideas expressed by consciousness) with true intelligence, explaining that consciousness "sends" these ideas via the "carrier wave" of the mind, contacting every cell. The physical sensory mind acts as a radio receiver, picking up impressions from a vast sea of thoughts originating from Earth's population, beings on higher and lower planes, and even deceased individuals.

The text explains that while a radio receiver can easily tune into a specific station, the human mind struggles to isolate a specific thought source, often distorting or modifying impressions with ego and wishful thinking. This leads to further confusion. The author posits that conscious thoughts attract similar thoughts. Believing in spiritual worlds or mental planes can lead to receiving "messages" that seem to come from these realms, but are actually misinterpretations. This is why, the author suggests, "space people" do not contact humans mentally, as the message would be too easily distorted.

To achieve clarity about one's true self, one must align ideas with Universal Law and ignore those presented by the physical sensory mind. Controlling anger and emotions is crucial for a clear, peaceful mind that attracts desirable impressions. The text concludes by stating that when we learn to control the sensory mind and ego, we can truly develop and become conscious of our connection to the Cosmic Consciousness, moving into "Conscious Consciousness."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-NYT strongly emphasizes the investigation and reporting of UFO phenomena, with a significant portion dedicated to detailed accounts of sightings across Scandinavia. The magazine also promotes a particular philosophical perspective, heavily influenced by George Adamski and the concept of "space people," focusing on consciousness, higher knowledge, and the potential for humanity's survival and evolution. The editorial stance is one of open investigation while maintaining a critical distance from the specific claims made in published articles. There is a clear call for readers to support the organization financially and to embrace a forward-looking, scientific, and philosophical approach to understanding the universe and humanity's place within it.

This issue of UFO - NYT, identified as issue number 213 and volume 2, dated November 1959, is published by UFO - NYT in Denmark and is written in Danish. The cover headline is "Spørgsmål og svar" (Questions and Answers), with a prominent section featuring a letter from Pastor Guy J. Cyr and a response from C. A. Honey.

Key Articles and Sections

C. A. Honey's Contributions:

C. A. Honey's writings focus on the concept of "Inner Consciousness" or "Cosmic Consciousness," suggesting that developing this awareness allows individuals to receive impressions that feel like their own thoughts and ideas. He emphasizes the importance of emotional balance, warning against dabbling in the occult without understanding, as it can lead to mental institutions. He asserts that the 'Space People's' program is logical, scientific, and grounded.

In the "Questions and Answers" section, Honey addresses numerous reader inquiries.

• On Reincarnation: Honey explains reincarnation not as soul wandering but as a process where the entire body is renewed every seven years. He argues that memory connects the 'self' to these successive bodies, suggesting that consciousness is independent of the physical form and that reincarnation is essentially the transfer of memory into a new body.
• On Evolution: Responding to a question about natural selection, Honey disputes that it can produce new species, stating that nature's control system prevents such development. He cites Darwin's own doubts about species transformation and argues that while adaptation occurs, it is not heritable. He challenges readers to provide scientific proof of evolutionary leaps.
• On Anthropological Finds: Addressing claims of debunked anthropological discoveries, Honey clarifies that the interpretation of finds like teeth and jawbones is often flawed, leading to misleading reconstructions of early humans, often depicted with ape-like features. He suggests humans have degenerated rather than evolved.
• On Asteroids: He refutes the theory that asteroids are remnants of a destroyed planet called Lucifer-Maldek, stating that 'space people' deny this and attribute the theory to psychic sources.
• On Space People's Fingerprints: Honey confirms that the 'space people' he and Adamski have met do have fingerprints, dismissing claims to the contrary and suggesting that impostors are spreading misinformation.
• On 'Aura', 'Third Eye', and 'Astral Bodies': He explains that 'Aura' is an energy field, the 'third eye' refers to the pineal gland (with exaggerated claims), and 'astral bodies' do not exist unless 'intelligence' is termed as such. 'Astral travel' is described as a misnomer for perceiving events remotely without leaving the body.
• On Contact and Information: Honey states that the newsletter's purpose is to provide authentic information from 'space people' and that ideas are welcomed from readers. He hopes to provide more direct information and photographic evidence in the future, supported by higher authorities.
• On the Nature of Truth: Honey discusses the difficulty of finding universal truth in a world filled with superficial truths and conflicting beliefs. He criticizes the creation of 'false gods' and the resulting mistrust among people.

George Adamski's Contribution:

George Adamski recounts a recent rare trip in a spaceship. He notes that most contacts occur on Earth. He had asked his collaborators worldwide to record their thoughts and impressions during his absence, and these reports contained impulses he received. He describes the experience as the most enlightening and outstanding of his life, highlighting the pleasant collaboration with those involved. He mentions that the results achieved so far are excellent, with over 50% success, and that telepathy has been particularly effective. Adamski expresses concern about the Earth's current state, citing widespread greed and self-poisoning, and a lack of understanding of humanity's cosmic nature. He reiterates that creating 'gods' to suit personal egos leads to weakness and self-destruction. He refers to the 'Great Book' (Bible) and the 'Highest Intelligence' as the true God.

Infrared Photography Section:

This section explains infrared photography, detailing the nature of light as electromagnetic waves and its spectrum. It discusses how the human eye and photographic emulsions react differently to light. Different types of photographic emulsions are described: unsensitized, orthochromatic, panchromatic, and infrared. The article provides technical details on using infrared film, including exposure times and filters, and suggests applications such as capturing night scenes and reproducing old documents.

Italian Account:

An account from Milan, Italy, describes Caspare de Lama, a painter, who witnessed a strange, circular, plate-like object on December 1, 1961. He initially intended to use the scenery for inspiration for his modern paintings but decided to take photographs instead. His wife noticed the object, which was described as circular and plate-like.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea of "Cosmic Truth" and "Universal Truth" as opposed to superficial or man-made beliefs. There is a strong emphasis on logic, scientific reasoning, and the concept of "Inner Consciousness" or "Cosmic Consciousness" as a source of higher knowledge. The editorial stance is critical of established religions, suggesting their doctrines are often derived from human traditions and misinterpretations of ancient teachings. The magazine advocates for an open mind towards the teachings of 'space people' and their philosophy, viewing them as more logical and advanced than current human understanding. There is a recurring theme of humanity's spiritual and intellectual immaturity, with a call for self-reflection and a return to a more fundamental understanding of existence. The magazine also serves as a platform for direct communication from 'space people' through contactees like George Adamski and the writings of C. A. Honey, aiming to educate and enlighten its readers on inter-planetary matters and the true nature of reality.

Title: UFO - NYT
Issue: 223
Date: Saturday, May 21, 1960

This issue of UFO - NYT presents a collection of UFO sightings and encounters from various locations, including Denmark, the USA, Australia, England, and Argentina. It features witness testimonies, photographic evidence, and discussions on the nature and origin of these phenomena.

Article: Witness Account of a Stadium Sighting

The issue begins with an account from a witness who observed a large, lead-colored, disk-shaped object oscillating directly over a stadium. The object was described as silent, with a diameter estimated between 50 and 100 meters. It moved in an unusual manner, sometimes hovering and then accelerating rapidly, disappearing vertically. The witness was astonished and felt it was a machine from another world. He noted that the object's surface did not reflect sunlight and was not self-luminous. The witness also mentioned that other people present also stopped to observe the object.

Article: Photographer Lama's UFO Photographs

Photographer Lama recounts his experience of photographing a flying saucer on February 12th. He was on his terrace when he noticed a black dot that grew in size and moved, confirming it was a flying saucer. He managed to capture an entire roll of film due to the object's regular movements. He estimated the object's altitude to be between 200 and 300 meters and its size to be around 7 meters in diameter, with a prominent central dome. Lama noted that the object sometimes appeared to be surrounded by a halo of light fog, which was confirmed in his developed photographs. He expressed his belief that flying saucers are real and not easily explained as meteors or balloons, citing 15 years of observations.

Article: UFO Sighting in South Australia

Reported by the Advertiser on May 21, 1960, an unidentified flying object, described as a rocket with a yellowish tail, was seen flying silently over South Australia around 8:30 PM. Witnesses described it as faster than a jet and larger than any nearby stars. Size estimates varied significantly, from approximately 6 feet long and 1 foot wide to the size of an orange. Several individuals, including J. O. Catford, D. Bensch, and R. J. Bruce, reported the sighting.

Article: The Richard Vogt Incident in Minnesota

This section details a peculiar incident involving Richard Vogt near Osakis, Minnesota, on May 10, 1961. Vogt reported his car being struck by a spherical, 'fog-like' object, about a meter in diameter, moving at high speed. The impact caused intense heat, making the windshield too hot to touch and leaving burn marks on the car's hood and windshield. Vogt initially feared an atomic explosion or a new type of weapon. Scientists from Minnesota University, including W. J. Layton, investigated the case but could not provide a definitive explanation, suggesting possibilities like a cluster of small meteorites or ball lightning. The incident is still being discussed by scientists.

Article: Barney Hill Sighting in England

Mr. and Mrs. Barney Hill reported an encounter on the night of September 19-20, 1961, while driving near Portsmouth, England. They observed a clear, round disk with a luminous stripe on its edge. The object approached them, rotating, and then descended to about 80-100 feet from the ground. They saw a series of windows emitting a blue-white light, and figures moving within. Two red lights appeared on fin-like structures extending from the object. Feeling observed and panicking, Mr. Hill accelerated away. They heard 'whistling' sounds, and the car's chassis vibrated. The couple reported the incident to the police, who advised them to contact Pease Air Force Base.

Article: UFO Activity in Argentina

Reports from Buenos Aires indicate a significant increase in UFO activity, with credible witnesses describing 'luminous objects' emitting strong light. Similar sightings have been reported in Mendoza, Cordoba, and Bahia Blanca. A particularly striking observation was made by two brothers who saw an object resembling a train car with about 20 openings emitting flashing light. When they approached, the object shot into the air, revealing itself to be two objects that separated and quickly disappeared. The brothers found scorched earth, pressed grass, and a grey liquid at the landing site. Investigations by the University of Bahia Blanca revealed the soil contained potassium carbonate and lime. Other witnesses, including military commanders, have also reported seeing 'luminous objects,' with one incident causing severe eye pain due to the intense light.

Discussion at Caxton Hall, London

A public discussion was held at Caxton Hall, London, on February 11, 1961, with participants including Reginald Dutta (editor of 'Flying Saucers Review'), Desmond Leslie (author), Dr. Bernhard Fuish (researcher), Leonard Cramp (author), and Erich Smith (physicist). The discussion addressed the authenticity of UFO contactee claims, with Leslie defending George Adamski and Cramp suggesting that scientists might be withholding information about their own contacts with extraterrestrials due to fear of ridicule.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the widespread nature of UFO sightings across different continents, the physical evidence associated with some encounters (photographs, scorch marks, strange residues), and the persistent mystery surrounding the origin and nature of these objects. The editorial stance, as expressed through the quoted statements and the selection of articles, strongly supports the reality of flying saucers and the likelihood of their extraterrestrial origin, dismissing conventional explanations and advocating for open-minded investigation.
