Articles and Features

Aktuelt (Current Affairs)

This section discusses the nature of rumors, warning against their spread and the harm they can cause, especially within the UFO community. It emphasizes the importance of truth and well-substantiated facts, urging readers to question their own behavior regarding spreading unverified information. A brief note also announces a price increase for UFO-NYT to 2 kr. per issue due to a sales tax, with the 1963 subscription price set at 24 kroner. It also mentions that the accounting office will cease collecting membership fees from January 1963, with subscribers to UFO-NYT considered members.

UFO-observationer over Skandinavien (UFO Observations over Scandinavia)

This extensive section details numerous UFO sightings reported to S.U.F.O.I. between August 10 and September 11, 1962. It includes statistics on the total number of reports received by SUFOI (1907). Specific observations are described:

• August 19, 1962: A man in Skælskør, Denmark, observed a round, bluish object resembling a soap bubble, which was later obscured by clouds. Photographs were taken.
• August 21, 1962: A woman in Denmark observed an object moving north-south, which then changed direction to southwest and appeared to accelerate.
• August 26, 1962: A man in St. Heddinge, Denmark, reported a red object with a pulsating light and a long white tail moving from southeast to northeast.
• August 16, 1962: A luminous object was sighted over Nord-Norge, Norway, leading to an investigation by fighter jets. The object was described as high-altitude and triangular.
• August 23, 1962: Reports from Norway suggested that triangular luminous objects observed over Meløy and Nord-Rana might have been balloons with pyramid-shaped reflectors, possibly related to rocket launches.
• A detailed account from an anonymous amateur astronomer describes observing a bell-shaped object with a glowing top and transparent middle, estimated to be 50 meters in diameter, moving slowly north.

The section also lists other reports from Nakskov, Copenhagen, Langeland, and Mosjøen, Norway, and mentions detector alerts from Skørping, Nyborg, and Vejle.

USA's rumforskningsprogram (USA's Space Program)

This article outlines the significant investment and ambitious schedule of the USA's space program. By July 1962, the US was spending at least 55 billion dollars annually on space research, with a projected 50 billion dollars to be invested by the early 1970s. The program includes:

• Next 2-3 months: Slayton to orbit the Earth three times for new observations.
• By end of 1962: One or two more Earth orbits.
• 1963: An astronaut to complete 18 Earth orbits in a 'Mercury' capsule, and an unmanned 'Gemini' spacecraft to rendezvous with a separate rocket in space.
• 1964: Manned spacecraft to rendezvous in space, and testing of an unmanned, three-seat 'Apollo' spacecraft (Moon rocket) in Earth orbit.
• 1966: First Moon landing with the 'Apollo' spacecraft, using the 'Saturn' rocket, with return to Earth.
• 1967: Manned 'Apollo' spacecraft to land on the Moon using the 'Nova' or an improved 'Saturn' rocket.

Key scientific results from Glenn's space flight are highlighted: the astronaut was unharmed by space radiation, his reactions were normal, and he experienced no balance disturbances. Notably, the article suggests that trained astronauts are superior to automated control systems, leading to future spacecraft designs with less automation.

Syner og spøgelser (Visions and Ghosts)

This article explores the concept of thought as a form of energy and its role in creating physical forms. It posits that thoughts, like radio waves, have frequencies that travel through the universe and influence atomic structures. The author suggests that memories of past lives and encounters with apparitions are not supernatural but rather the result of subconscious impressions stored in the cells of our bodies. These impressions can be 'replayed' like a recording. The article explains that psychic individuals are more sensitive to these impressions. It also discusses dreams as a product of the subconscious mind when the conscious mind is balanced during sleep. Apparitions are explained as similar phenomena, where strong emotional imprints from traumatic events can leave residual energy. The article concludes by advising readers to critically evaluate such impressions, distinguishing between those that align with universal laws and those influenced by ego or harmful desires. It emphasizes that true contact with extraterrestrials, as represented by the 'space people,' is based on scientific and logical principles, not psychic phenomena or occultism.

Filosofisk befragtet (Philosophical Inquiry)

This section delves into philosophical aspects of humanity's place in the universe and the potential for interplanetary communication. It suggests that humanity's current thought patterns are undergoing change, with a growing demand for peace and equality. The author posits that the Earth itself is changing, reflecting an inner drive for a new cycle. The article argues that in the space age, egoistic views must be discarded to become part of an interplanetary family. Theories will be replaced by facts, and human perception will expand. The author discusses how to distinguish true 'space people' from impostors, stating they will be recognized not by appearance but by their impersonal and non-judgmental speech. The article also touches upon the idea that the 'space people' are working towards a program that is being transmitted through various channels, including those who believe they are channeling 'space people.' The author, C. A. Honey, and Sven Larsen, emphasize that this work is voluntary and driven by a belief in the program's goals, not personal gain. They caution against individuals who may be misled by their own desires or by those who claim to channel 'space people' without a clear understanding of the underlying principles.

ET HALVT ÅR (Half a Year)

This editorial marks the first anniversary of the Newsletter, highlighting its global reach through translations into German, English, French, Belgian, Danish, Japanese, New Zealand, Australian, Dutch, and Austrian languages. It notes that many translators are co-workers of George Adamski, motivated by their belief in his work. The editorial emphasizes that this work is voluntary and that the 'space people' have not requested it. It also mentions that superficial individuals have been removed from the program. The authors, C. A. Honey and Svend Larsen, state that the 'space people' are advanced beings who have long surpassed the need for psychic communication or occultism. They encourage readers to receive impressions, differentiate between those reflecting ego or universal law, and to assimilate the latter.

ET HALVT ÅR (Half a Year) - Continued

This section continues the discussion on voluntary work and the 'space people's' program. It stresses that the current phase is an 'elimination round' before the main tasks are presented. The authors, C. A. Honey and Svend Larsen, are identified as associated with Sven Olov Larsson of Borlänge.

Filosofisk befragtet (Philosophical Inquiry) - Continued

This part of the philosophical discussion reiterates that the 'space people' desire their program to be advanced on a sober basis, following scientific and logical guidelines. The authors express no objection to psychic groups as long as they focus on their own affairs and do not interfere with the 'plate area' (likely referring to UFOs). They assert that psychic research and occultism are unrelated to the 'space people' and their program, as the latter have evolved far beyond such practices. Readers are advised to receive impressions, divide them into those from personal feelings and those from universal law, discard the former, and study the latter.

Et forord til min tilståelse (A Foreword to My Confession)

This section, attributed to George Adamski (from 'Cosmic Philosophy'), discusses the nature of miracles and the potential for deception. Adamski questions whether performing extraordinary feats, like walking through fire or multiplying bread, truly indicates divine origin, suggesting that magicians can perform similar feats. He references Christ's warning about false Christs and prophets performing great signs and wonders. Adamski argues that one cannot identify a being's true nature solely by their ability to read thoughts or perform magical acts. He emphasizes that 'space people' communicate about practical life and the laws of the universe, not about mystical or fanatical teachings. They speak of harmony and the fundamental elements of the mother planet.

Syner og spøgelser (Visions and Ghosts) - Continued

This section continues the exploration of thought energy and its manifestations. It explains that cells retain impressions from their environment, which can be perceived by sensitive individuals. The author explains that the subconscious mind is in contact with all experiences and can create vivid impressions, including those that might seem like past-life memories or encounters with ghosts. The article clarifies that these are not supernatural phenomena but rather the result of the subconscious processing of information. It advises readers to be discerning and to accept only those impressions that align with universal laws, rejecting those driven by ego or harmful intentions. The article also mentions that the 'space people' are not responsible for channeling messages, but rather these originate from the subconscious, which has accumulated knowledge over a lifetime. The author, C. A. Honey, and Svend Larsen, advocate for a rational approach to evaluating such information.

Syner og spøgelser (Visions and Ghosts) - Continued

This part of the article discusses the phenomenon of apparitions and psychic experiences. It explains that strong emotional imprints, particularly from traumatic events like death, can leave residual energy that may manifest as visions or ghosts. An example is given of a ghost sighting near a dangerous road, which disappeared when the driver approached. The article suggests that such phenomena are not caused by spirits but by the lingering energy of the deceased. It also touches upon the idea that the subconscious mind plays a crucial role in these experiences. The authors, C. A. Honey and Svend Larsen, reiterate the importance of distinguishing between ego-driven impressions and those that reflect universal laws.

Syner og spøgelser (Visions and Ghosts) - Continued

This section continues the discussion on psychic phenomena and the nature of impressions. It explains that the subconscious mind records all experiences, and these recordings can be accessed by individuals. The article clarifies that 'past life' memories or encounters with ghosts are not necessarily caused by spirits but by the subconscious mind's processing of information. It emphasizes the importance of rational discernment when evaluating such experiences, distinguishing between those that align with universal laws and those driven by ego or harmful desires. The authors, C. A. Honey and Svend Larsen, advocate for a rational approach to understanding these phenomena.

Syner og spøgelser (Visions and Ghosts) - Continued

This part of the article discusses the nature of psychic experiences and the role of the subconscious. It explains that individuals who are more sensitive to impressions may perceive things that others do not. The authors, C. A. Honey and Svend Larsen, advise readers to remain grounded and to critically evaluate the impressions they receive, distinguishing between those that reflect egoism or are harmful and those that align with universal laws. The article also mentions that the 'space people' are not involved in psychic phenomena or occultism, as they have evolved beyond such practices.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO NYT include the reporting and analysis of UFO sightings, particularly in Scandinavia. There is a strong emphasis on scientific investigation and the importance of factual reporting, with a critical stance towards sensationalism and unsubstantiated claims. The magazine also explores philosophical and metaphysical aspects of ufology, including the nature of consciousness, thought energy, and the potential for extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting a rational, scientific, and grounded approach to understanding UFO phenomena, distinguishing it from psychic or occult practices. The publication also highlights the advancements in space exploration, particularly the US space program, as a parallel development in humanity's understanding of the cosmos.

This issue of UFO - NYT, dated September 15, 1960, delves into philosophical and spiritual themes, alongside discussions on UFO phenomena and the nature of science. The magazine features articles by C. A. Honey and Svend Larsen, and addresses reader questions.

Philosophy of Consciousness and Reincarnation

The main article, "FILOSOFI," by C. A. Honey, explores the concepts of "sense mind" (physical consciousness) and "subconscious mind" (universal consciousness). Honey clarifies that "sense mind" is the intellect that guides daily actions, influenced by senses and prone to fear and uncertainty. He contrasts this with the "subconscious mind," described as the soul or universal consciousness, which survives the death of the physical body and remembers past lives. The article posits that to survive death as one's current personality, one must develop character and control the "sense mind" to align with the cosmic purpose. This process leads to the integration of the physical consciousness into the universal consciousness, allowing for remembrance of past existences. The concept of "conscious consciousness" is introduced as a state where an individual is fully aware of their true self and its connection to the universal consciousness, leading to rebirth on higher planes of development.

Honey emphasizes that the "physical consciousness" dies with the body, but the intelligence behind the form never dies. He explains that the soul, which is eternal, begins the process anew with a new individual or "physical consciousness." The article touches upon the idea of "the second death" in the Bible, referring to the absolute destruction of identity.

Reader Questions and Answers

The "Spørgsmål og svar" (Questions and Answers) section addresses several reader inquiries:

• Question 1 (Mrs. Edna T. Robertson): Do people on other planets use a book like the Bible? The answer states that extraterrestrials have records of Earth's history spanning millions of years but do not use a Bible. Further explanation is promised in "Flying Saucers Farewell."
• Question 2 (Anonymous): Do extraterrestrials believe in God? The answer affirms their belief in God, stating they practice their faith more deeply than humans. They understand universal laws and see the divine intelligence in all things, comparing God to a vast ocean and individuals to drops within it.
• Question 3 (F. N. Seattle): How long have extraterrestrials lived among us? The answer, quoting from "Ombord i Rumskibe," suggests that since the crucifixion of Jesus, they decided to conduct their work in a less dangerous way, using their advanced technology to send volunteers to Earth in physical bodies. These individuals blend in to learn about Earth and then return to share their knowledge.
• Question 4 (D.L.C.): If we lose our memory upon rebirth, how do we remember past lives? The answer refers readers to "Inside The Space Ships" and previous issues of the newsletter.
• Question 5 (F. N. Seattle): Can you explain UFO activity related to missing aircraft? Are hostile UFOs involved? The answer asserts there is no evidence of hostile UFOs. Most reports are attributed to fear and hysteria. While UFOs are sometimes seen near crash sites, they are not the cause. Rare instances where aircraft were destroyed were due to the UFO's energy field, not hostile intent. The article mentions Captain Mantell's case as an example. It explains that recent years have seen extraterrestrials avoiding close proximity to aircraft. The cause of many accidents is attributed to "atom clouds" which are concentrated energy masses that can explode suddenly, appearing as green fireballs. If an aircraft enters such a cloud, it can explode or dissolve.
• Question 6 (D. C. Kansas City): What is meant by "sense mind"? If memory is wiped upon rebirth, how do we retain knowledge from past lives? The answer reiterates the definition of "sense mind" as the physical, sensory-driven intellect. It explains that this memory is not consciously carried over at this stage of development. The article refers to the philosophical section for the second part of the question.
• Question 7 (E. O. Merritt Island): Will the newsletter cover more information from Adamski, and will he write more books? The answer depends on Adamski himself, but the writer believes he is working on a new book.
• Question 8 (E. F. Plummerville): Can you provide information about the cosmic command structure? Are there "Lord Gods," etc.? The answer states there are no such titles or command orders, which are found only in mythological literature. Higher developed planets follow universal laws and do not require external direction.

The Nature of Science and UFO Research

An article titled "Hvordan skal livet leves? Skjulte engelske højskole-tanker" (How Should Life Be Lived? Hidden English Folk School Thoughts) discusses the importance of seeking truth beyond purely scientific or material pursuits. It argues that true science encompasses understanding "truth" in all aspects of human endeavor, including religion, art, and the art of living. The author criticizes a modern tendency to focus on applied science for economic gain rather than truth-seeking, which can lead to a narrow perspective.

Another article, "Ufologien som naturvidenskab" (Ufology as Natural Science), addresses criticism that SUFOI (a UFO research organization) is not scientific. The author defends SUFOI's approach, arguing that the modern scientific worldview is constantly evolving. They contend that orthodox science, while advancing, still relies on hypotheses and instruments that have limitations. SUFOI's research is based on observable facts and numerous reports from credible sources, such as military pilots and scientists, regarding the presence of unidentified objects with extraordinary capabilities. The article questions the assumptions of orthodox science regarding other planets and the universe, suggesting that current instruments may not be sufficient to grasp the full reality.

A section titled "Cosmic Science" addresses a question about "deroer" and "teroer" (likely referring to inner-Earth inhabitants or similar concepts). The response firmly states that no human race lives inside Earth or any planet, as modern scientific instruments would detect them. The author dismisses such ideas as self-deception fueled by egoism and fantasy, comparing them to delirium tremens and hallucinations. The article emphasizes using common sense and intelligence when evaluating such claims.

UFOs and Aircraft Disappearances

Further discussion on UFOs and aircraft disappearances is presented. The article reiterates that there is no evidence of hostile UFOs. It explains that the "atom clouds" are a significant factor in unexplained aircraft incidents. These clouds, remnants of explosions, can become intensely energetic and cause spontaneous explosions or appear as green fireballs. When aircraft encounter these, they can be destroyed or dissolve. The article notes that extraterrestrials are now trying to avoid these phenomena.

The "Confession" of Desmond Leslie

A section titled "Et forord til min 'tilståelse'" (A Foreword to My 'Confession') discusses a purported confession by Desmond Leslie to Dr. Leon Davidson, which claims that the "Flying Saucers are Landing" phenomenon was a hoax orchestrated by the CIA. The confession details how the "flying saucers" were allegedly constructed by 20th Century Fox artists and that Adamski was part of this elaborate deception. The article presents this as a counter-narrative to the claims made by Davidson.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, the possibility of reincarnation, and the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. The magazine promotes a spiritual and philosophical perspective, encouraging readers to question conventional scientific and societal norms. The editorial stance appears to be one of openness to unconventional ideas, particularly those related to UFOs and cosmic philosophy, while also advocating for critical thinking and a search for truth. There is a clear distinction drawn between empirical, materialistic science and a broader, more inclusive understanding of reality that incorporates spiritual and philosophical dimensions. The magazine also seems to position itself as a platform for alternative viewpoints, contrasting its approach with what it perceives as the limitations and biases of orthodox science and mainstream media.

Title: UFO - NYT
Issue: nr. 71/62
Date: June 1962
Publisher: SUFOI
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO - NYT delves into various phenomena, including UFO sightings, astronomical discoveries, and archaeological findings, offering a mix of eyewitness accounts, scientific reports, and theoretical discussions.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

UFO's over Pescara Italien

The lead article details an encounter by journalist and author Bruno Ghibaudi on April 27, 1961, near Pescara, Italy. While his car engine mysteriously stopped, Ghibaudi witnessed a silent, grey, elliptical object with triangular wings and a vertical tail moving from the southeast. He managed to photograph it. Shortly after, he observed a light that intensified into a dark, spherical shape, which then revealed itself as a perfectly round flying disc. This disc, about 8 meters long and moving silently at a high speed, was silver-grey and had a hemispherical dome. It was later joined by two more discs, approximately 10 meters in diameter, one of which displayed three bright hemispheres. The encounter was accompanied by a strange sensation of an electrical field. Ghibaudi's photographic film was found to be deformed, as if exposed to intense heat, yet the images of the discs were clearly imprinted.

A second witness, a Roman student who wished to remain anonymous, corroborated Ghibaudi's account, stating he also saw the flying discs on the same day and even saw a person enter a white 'Giulietta' car that had Turin license plates. He claimed to have seen the same phenomenon photographed by Ghibaudi.

Tairua, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Another report describes a sighting by a farmer and his family in Tairua, New Zealand, who observed a luminous disc circling their property before disappearing. The following morning, their neighbor confirmed seeing the same flying saucer the previous evening. The report also includes an account from about 18 months prior, where a man witnessed a glowing, spherical object land in a clearing. He observed movement at the craft and saw what appeared to be a marker being placed before parts of the object became obscured. He watched the object for approximately 2.5 hours before it ascended and vanished. The area is described as remote and difficult to access.

Astronomical Discoveries

Soviet Astronomer Makes a Discovery

This section reports on Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kozyrev's discovery of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere of Venus. This finding was confirmed by British astronomer Warner. Kozyrev's work also indicated that the atmospheric gases on Venus are similar to Earth's, contradicting previous assumptions that Venus's atmosphere was unsuitable for life. The article notes that these discoveries have generated significant interest, especially with the advent of interplanetary stations. It also references Kozyrev's earlier discovery of volcanic phenomena on the Moon. The author, Svend Larsen, humorously points out that these facts, previously known and discussed by UFO contactees like George Adamski, are only accepted by the public when validated by individuals with academic credentials.

Theories on Tides

Tidal Waves

This section addresses a question posed at a SUFOI congress in Fredericia regarding the cause of tidal waves that move opposite to the Moon. The author, Axel Andersen, presents a theory that involves the gravitational pull of the Moon creating a 'water bulge' on the side facing it. He suggests that the Earth's rotation causes this bulge to move, and that the Earth's fixed mass is also affected, creating the opposite tide. Andersen also discusses the combined effect of the Sun and Moon during new and full moons, leading to spring tides. He concludes by mentioning that the Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down, increasing the length of the day.

Axel Andersen's theory is followed by a commentary from 'F.P.', who states that while Andersen's theory is interesting and touches upon scientific explanations, it contains some inaccuracies. 'F.P.' attributes the 'opposite tide' to the Moon's attraction to the Earth's solid mass, creating a bulge on the opposite side. He also notes that the Earth's rotation slows down due to tidal forces, increasing the length of the day by approximately 1/1000th of a second per century.

Archaeology and Human Evolution

Neanderthal Man

This article reports on a sensational find by a German scientist, Professor Walter Matthes of Hamburg University. For five years, Matthes kept secret his discovery of over 500 stone engravings, believed to be approximately 200,000 years old. These engravings depict human heads and ice age animals. The stones were found in a marl deposit near the Elbe River. Matthes estimates these drawings to be potentially twice as old as the famous cave paintings in France and Spain. The human heads depicted in the engravings show distinct human features, differing significantly from the ape-like characteristics of previously found Neanderthal remains. This discovery raises questions about whether Neanderthal man was merely a primitive form of Homo sapiens or a distinct species.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO - NYT continues its focus on unexplained aerial phenomena, presenting eyewitness accounts and photographic evidence. The magazine also engages with scientific and archaeological topics, often drawing connections to UFOlogy and questioning established scientific narratives, as seen in the commentary on Nikolai Kozyrev's discoveries and the discussion on tidal theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into phenomena that challenge conventional understanding, while also acknowledging the role of skepticism and the need for validation, particularly in the context of UFO reports.
