Press Section (Pressen skrev)
This section reviews articles on space travel published in Politiken and Berlingske Tidende on January 1st. It highlights comments from Magister Lundbak, who predicts that neither the USA nor the Soviet Union will reach the Moon before the early 1970s due to increased solar radiation during solar maximum. He also suggests that lunar observatories might find evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, though communication would be challenging due to vast distances. The section also mentions the Soviet plan for a space station weighing approximately 60 tons, requiring three launches to assemble.
Military Space Travel (Militær rumfart)
This article discusses the military utilization of space, focusing on the altitude range of 200 to 20,000 km above Earth. The US Air Force is primarily responsible for military space activities.
- Launch Vehicles:
- THOR-AGENA: A 55-ton, two-stage rocket capable of sending satellites up to 700 kg into orbit.
- ATLAS-AGENA: A 130-ton rocket using an ATLAS intercontinental rocket as the first stage, capable of launching 2200 kg into orbit or 330 kg to the Moon. Used for Mariner and Ranger missions.
- USAF Satellite Types:
- Discoverer: Launched via Thor-Agena into orbits between 200 and 600 km, used for scientific research (radiation, magnetic fields, atmospheric density) and testing new electronic equipment for spy satellites.
- Ferret: Launched via Thor-Agena into orbits of 200-400 km, equipped with radio equipment to intercept Soviet radar and radio communications, aiding in locating Soviet missile bases and monitoring military communications.

- Kosmos (research type): Launched into orbits of 240-800 km, spherical, approximately 1.6 meters in diameter and weighing about 600 kg. Used for measuring atmospheric density, radiation, and ionosphere.
- Kosmos (spacecraft type): Cylindrical, weighing about 5 tons, landed after 3-10 days, with orbits between 200 and 400 km. Purposes include testing new alloys for spacecraft, radiation protection methods for cosmonauts, and new control systems. Some may carry experimental animals or be used for espionage.
- Project MOL (Manned Orbiting Laboratory): A US military program scheduled for 1968, involving the launch of a Gemini capsule with a two-man crew. A 8-meter cylinder with life support and espionage equipment will be attached, weighing 10-12 tons. The crew will transfer to the laboratory for work without space suits during a 3-4 week mission.
Danish Participation in European Space Research
On November 22, 1963, the Danish Parliament began discussing a proposal for Denmark's participation in European space research cooperation (ESRO). The proposal received support from all six political parties. The discussion highlighted the peaceful nature of the project and suggested potential cooperation with the Soviet Union. Denmark is expected to contribute approximately 44.4 million Danish kroner over 8 years to ESRO.
Norway
Nils Sælensminde, the representative for Norway, announced that H. C. Petersen would give lectures in Bergen and Oslo in early April. The Bergen lecture is scheduled for April 6th at 7:00 PM.
Ufology (Ufologi...)
This article by Aimé Michel discusses the concept of 'alignments' in UFO sightings.
- The Significance of Straight Lines: The observation of UFOs moving in straight lines across certain areas was a key factor that challenged skeptics. Michel's earlier theories have been refined by other researchers.
- Global Research: Numerous researchers worldwide, including Jacques Vallée, Christian Vogt, and others, have contributed to the study of these alignments. The article emphasizes that scientific progress stems from criticism and divergent ideas.
- Organized Plan: Researchers studying 'alignments' are convinced that they indicate a sophisticated, organized plan guided by an external intelligence.
- Alexander Mebane's Contribution: Alexander Mebane revised Michel's calculations, initially suggesting that many alignments could be explained by chance. However, he also highlighted the alignments that remained unexplained, which became the focus of Michel's subsequent work.
- Bayonne-Vichy Alignment: Michel details the Bayonne-Vichy alignment from September 24, 1954, as a prime example. He notes that this alignment was also observed by others, including François Jacques Bergier, who initially suggested it might be a coincidence.
- Extended Alignments: Michel extended the Bayonne-Vichy alignment westward and discovered it intersected the Sierra de Gardunha in Portugal, a location approximately 600 km from Bayonne. This observation, made two years prior to its discovery, reinforced the idea of a structured, global UFO observation system.
- Statistical Probability: The probability of such an alignment occurring by chance was calculated to be extremely low, significantly less than one in ten million.
- Permanent Alignments: The concept of permanent alignments, along which observations occur repeatedly, is introduced. The Bayonne-Vichy line, for instance, was observed multiple times over a week before September 24, 1954, with a probability of random occurrence being one in several million.
- Global Network: A calculation of the Bayonne-Vichy alignment's extension across the globe revealed a line passing through Europe, the Soviet Union, China, Formosa, New Guinea, New Zealand, South America, the Atlantic, Portugal, and Spain. Five observation waves were identified along this line between 1954 and 1960, suggesting its central role in non-terrestrial activity.
- Methodology: The article emphasizes the importance of systematic observation and the development of scientific methods to study UFO phenomena, rather than merely refuting objections.
- English Alignment: An alignment running across England from Southend is mentioned, with potential observations including multiple objects, stopping and maneuvering, and landings within 20 km of the line.
Publisher's Note
The publisher stresses the significance of the discovered global straight-line alignments, asserting that they prove a deliberate plan and purpose behind UFO inspections. They argue that these alignments support the credibility of most witnesses, as they are unlikely to be aware of their location on such a global grid.
Coded Word: BAVIC
Michel explains his focus on the Bayonne-Vichy alignment, code-named BAVIC, and his collaboration with an astronomer friend. Their detailed study of the BAVIC alignment within France aimed to uncover new discoveries. They meticulously mapped land reports along the line, achieving high accuracy.
Vauriat Observation
The article recounts a sensational observation on August 29, 1962, in Vauriat, Puy de Dôme, France, where four unidentified machines performed a ballet in broad daylight. An engineer and pilot, an eyewitness, reported the incident. The observed maneuvers were described as complex zig-zag patterns, similar to those noted in a 1954 UFO wave.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently promotes the scientific investigation of UFO phenomena. It highlights advancements in space technology and potential extraterrestrial intelligence. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging detailed reporting and analysis of UFO sightings and related scientific endeavors, while maintaining a critical and methodical approach to research. The emphasis on 'alignments' suggests a belief in a structured, possibly intelligent, pattern behind UFO activity.
This issue of UFO - NYT, dated November 1963, is a Danish publication from SUFOI, focusing on UFO phenomena. The cover story, "Enorm rum-platform kredser omkring Mars" (Enormous space platform orbits Mars), highlights the intriguing theory that Mars' moon Phobos might be an artificial construct.
The Phobos Hypothesis
The magazine delves into the scientific debate surrounding Phobos, a moon of Mars. Citing research from scientists like I.S. Shklovsky, the article suggests that Phobos, approximately 8 km in diameter, could be an artificial space station, possibly made of aluminum and hollow. This theory is supported by its unusual orbital characteristics, such as its close proximity to Mars and its rapid rotation. The US government, through NASA, is investing millions in space probes to investigate this possibility, with the Mariner series of rockets equipped to analyze the light reflected from Phobos. If the moon reflects light like aluminum, it would support the artificial satellite theory. The article also mentions the opinions of other scientists, including Dr. Fred Hoyle and S. Fred Singer, who find the theory plausible, while others, like Dr. E. C. Slipher and Clyde W. Tombaugh, deem it physically impossible due to resource limitations on Mars.
The 'Alexander' Enigma
A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the perplexing case of 'Alexander,' a man who approached UFO researcher James W. Moseley in New York. Alexander, who claimed to have unlimited resources from an unknown source, offered to finance a global lecture tour on UFOs. He displayed unusual behavior, including disappearing and reappearing, and possessed an unplaceable accent. He also claimed to have met numerous UFO researchers and read extensively on the subject. Alexander's story is corroborated by other UFO researchers in New York and St. Louis, including George Marlo, who was also visited by a man matching Alexander's description. Marlo became convinced Alexander was an extraterrestrial and expressed concern about the potential for panic if such information were revealed. The incident raises questions about Alexander's true identity and motives, with speculation ranging from a con artist to an extraterrestrial being.
Scandinavian UFO Sightings
The issue features a comprehensive list of UFO sightings reported in Scandinavia, primarily Denmark, between November 14th, 1963, and January 7th, 1964. These reports detail various objects, including:

A previous report from OIR about hostile craft is referenced, suggesting a potential increase in information flow from other planets.
The Creator's Creation
This piece highlights the advanced understanding of cosmic laws possessed by beings from other planets, contrasting it with humanity's limited progress. It suggests that by learning from these beings, humans can gain a broader perspective and understand their place in the cosmos. The article emphasizes that the journey of learning is continuous and that understanding the Creator's laws is essential for true development.
Physical Consciousness and Soul Consciousness
This article delves into the distinction between physical consciousness and soul consciousness. It explains that physical consciousness is tied to the body and ceases to exist upon death, while the 'real self' or soul consciousness is immortal. The author uses the example of 'John Doe' and 'Jim Brown' to illustrate how a physical consciousness is created with a new body, but the soul consciousness remains the same, carrying forward the essence of the individual.
A Letter to a Friend
This section, titled 'Brev til en ven' (Letter to a friend), discusses the emergence of new prophets and diverse solutions and religions. It poses the question of whom to trust and emphasizes that each individual must discern truth based on their own understanding and inner harmony. The author warns against false prophets, referencing Jesus's admonition, and encourages critical thinking when evaluating different teachings.
En hilsen (A Greeting)
This personal message to 'Co-workers' speaks of a 'lifeline' that has repeatedly saved them from drowning in a sea of thoughts and opinions. It suggests that the mind is a 'strange magician' capable of miracles but also prone to self-absorption. The message stresses the importance of humility and surrendering to the Creator's will, rather than relying solely on one's own intellect. It outlines two of seven core principles: respect (for life and the Creator's consciousness) and unwavering faith.
Telepathy in Russia
This article notes the Soviet Union's openness to questions about space and life on other planets, contrasting it with the Western world's initial skepticism. It references two news reports: one from the 'Sunday Times' in January 1963 about the discovery of an absorption zone in Venus's atmosphere, suggesting similarities to Earth's, and another from the 'Daily Express' indicating Russian research into telepathy, possibly for communication with submarines and astronauts. It mentions the work of Mr. Anthony Cordell of the English Society for 'Psychic Research' and his discussions with Moscow and Leningrad scientists who believe telepathy is a proven fact, possibly explained by electromagnetic brain waves.
Cosmic Science
This section addresses question 100: 'Will you kindly tell us about the people on the other planets, and their way of life?' The answer states that beings on other planets look physically similar to humans and live normal lives, working, playing, and having families. It debunks the idea of mystical, ethereal beings. The article describes Venusian architecture with domed roofs in rainbow colors and mentions advanced household conveniences, including magnetic systems to capture dust particles for mineral extraction. It highlights the Venusian practice of sustainable land use, crop rotation, and composting, contrasting it with Earth's exploitative methods. The absence of pesticides and artificial fertilizers is noted, as is the understanding that all life forms are interconnected and nature maintains its own balance without human interference. The article suggests that this harmonious way of life, free from prisons and illness, is achievable on Earth.
Psychological Warfare
This article discusses the study of human nature, motivations, and the function of the body, mind, and consciousness. It claims that this comprehensive understanding has not been accessible to humans of this civilization, and forces that exploit humanity's cosmic purpose are actively working to keep them in darkness. The author criticizes the current state of human ignorance regarding life's true scope. It warns of invisible enemies who use psychological tactics, implanting false impressions and influencing minds through willpower. The article asserts that George Adamski has always worked to appeal to humanity's higher qualities, promoting cosmic consciousness, and has never engaged in such manipulative methods.
The Development of the Human Spirit
This piece, titled 'Menneskeåndens udvikling' (The Development of the Human Spirit), emphasizes that humans possess unlimited potential for growth. It states that all development involves a struggle against opposing forces and new challenges. The author defines consciousness as a state of being, and conscious consciousness as the ability to be aware of one's own awareness. It posits that the 'self' or ego is an enemy that must be overcome in favor of a more altruistic outlook, as egoism leads to evil.
Poems and Reflections
The issue includes several poetic and reflective pieces:
- 'Hvad jeg ku' finde på at sige, hvis jeg mødte en rummand på den jyske højderyg' (What I might say if I met a spaceman on the Jutland ridge) by Per Borgaard, which explores themes of humility, fear, and the potential conflict between humans and extraterrestrial visitors.
- 'Dommen' (The Judgment) by I.T.M., a somber reflection on guilt, condemnation, and the feeling of being judged by humanity.
- A short reflection by Samuel Johnson on diligence and opportunity.
- A quote by Goethe on earning what is given by ancestors.
- Quotes by Søren Kierkegaard and Abraham Lincoln on deception and truth.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual growth, the nature of consciousness, the existence of extraterrestrial life and intelligence, and the importance of universal laws. The magazine promotes a perspective that emphasizes love, humility, and a move away from materialism and ignorance towards a higher cosmic understanding. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for spiritual enlightenment, the exploration of the unknown, and the potential for humanity to evolve towards a more harmonious and enlightened existence, often drawing parallels with perceived advancements on other planets. There is a clear emphasis on the teachings of figures like Christ and the wisdom attributed to extraterrestrial sources, particularly George Adamski's reported contacts.
This issue of UFO NYT, dated 1964, spans pages 29-36 and is published by SUFOI (Skandinavisk U.F.O.-Information). The cover headline, "DIVERSE... Billioner af muligheder for liv," introduces a broad range of topics, from philosophical explorations of consciousness to scientific discussions on extraterrestrial life and detailed accounts of UFO phenomena.
Consciousness and the Present Moment
The issue begins with a philosophical piece emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment ('Nuet'). It argues that focusing on the 'ego' (jeg'et) and past or future concerns hinders personal growth and fulfillment. By actively engaging with the present, individuals can expand their consciousness, reduce self-centeredness, and achieve a more altruistic outlook. The text contrasts this with anxieties about the future, such as war and catastrophe, and the tendency to dwell on past regrets, suggesting that such worries detract from the value of the present.
Scientific Perspectives on Life in the Universe
An article titled "Billioner af muligheder for liv" (Billions of possibilities for life) features insights from Dr. George Wald, a professor of biochemistry at Harvard University. Based on data from the National Academy of Sciences, Wald estimates that there could be at least a million planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone with conditions suitable for life. Extrapolating further, he suggests that across the observable universe, there might be at least 100 trillion planets capable of supporting life. The article posits that life may have already arisen and evolved to higher levels on many of these planets, while on others, it may have perished or is yet to emerge. The scientific understanding of life's origins is also discussed, referencing the 'cosmic soup' theory where organic molecules concentrated in ancient oceans, leading to the development of life through natural selection, as proposed by A. I. Oparin.
Ufology and UFO Research
Several articles address the field of ufology. One section distinguishes between 'UFO-forskere' (UFO researchers) and 'UFOLOGs' (UFO enthusiasts), categorizing the former into various sub-disciplines like technical, analytical, philosophical, and scientific lines. It criticizes those who exploit the public's interest for financial gain, while acknowledging the genuine contributions of scientists, engineers, politicians, and religious leaders who, in their respective fields, are indirectly supporting the broader understanding of UFO phenomena and a more peaceful, enlightened society.
Key UFO Cases and Incidents
Kenneth Arnold Sighting
The article "Flyvende underkopper" (Flying saucers) recounts the famous 1947 sighting by Kenneth Arnold. While flying near Mount Rainier, Washington, Arnold observed nine bright, disc-shaped objects moving at incredible speeds and with extraordinary maneuverability. His description of their movement as being like 'saucers skipping over water' led to the popular term 'flying saucers'.
Disappearance of Air Marshal Sir David Atcherley
An article titled "Har De set denne mand?" (Have you seen this man?) details the mysterious disappearance of Air Marshal Sir David Atcherley in 1951. While flying his jet aircraft from Cyprus to Cairo, he vanished. His plane was later found intact in the Egyptian desert, with footprints leading from the aircraft into the sand, but no trace of the pilot.
The Unmanned Flight to Buenos Aires
"Førerløst fly landede i Buenos Aires" (Pilotless plane landed in Buenos Aires) describes an incident where a two-engine post plane from Bogota landed at Buenos Aires airport without a pilot. The plane was found to be in perfect working order, but the pilots were missing. A note found in the cockpit read, "We are stunned. Our hands are shaking. We can hardly hold the control stick." The fate of the pilots remains unknown.
Photograph of a UFO
Flemming Jensen is reported to have photographed a UFO in Marstal, Denmark. SUFOI's photo expert, Ensio Slej, confirmed that the dark, oval object with an irregular corona captured on film was not a photographic error.
Book Reviews and Literature
The issue includes a "Litteratur" (Literature) section listing various UFO-related books available for purchase, including works by Adamski, Allingham, Williamson, and Homet. A review of "Den fantastiske virkelighed" (The Fantastic Reality) by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier praises it as a comprehensive exploration of science, technology, and mystical phenomena, calling it an "angelic atomic bomb."
Other Sections
"Brev til en ven" (Letter to a friend) discusses human development and the importance of inner growth. "Etika" touches upon the distinction between UFO research and being a 'ufolog'. A section on "Bibliotekerne" (Libraries) lists SUFOI's library contacts. An "Advarsel" (Warning) cautions readers against a company soliciting funds for a UFO-related expedition. The magazine also includes a "BEMÆRK" (Note) stating that UFO-NYT is 40 pages long.
