This issue of UFO NYT marks a transition with a new editorial team taking over the publication. The magazine's cover features a stylized depiction of three flying objects against a blue sky, with the prominent title "UFO NYT".

Editorial Transition and Stance

The editorial section, titled "I anledning af.." (In Occasion of..), addresses the change in editorship. H. C. Petersen, the former editor, has stepped down due to his extensive UFO work, including his representation of George Adamski. The new editorial team, formed by the contact committee, has taken over to continue the work for the benefit of the UFO cause. The editors express gratitude to H. C. Petersen and his wife for their dedicated and selfless work in spreading knowledge about "flying saucers" in Scandinavia. They clarify that the change is not due to an "anti-H. C." or "anti-Adamski" stance, although the magazine's character may shift slightly due to differing perspectives on what is essential.

The new editorial team pledges to continue providing objective and sober information of interest to the UFO cause, ensuring that various viewpoints are presented. They emphasize that the publication will not necessarily endorse the opinions expressed in the articles, and the organization will not be liable for the views put forth. The editors also mention that a personal disagreement between a few contact committee members led to their withdrawal, which they regret.

A questionnaire is included with this issue, requesting readers' feedback on the topics covered to help the editors gauge interest and tailor future content.

Key Articles and Sections

Teknik og videnskab (Technology and Science)

This section delves into the technical and scientific aspects of UFOs. The author notes the difficulty in writing the history of unknown flying objects, referencing the modern understanding of time in physics, which can be perceived as flowing forwards or backwards. The article suggests that UFOs are an eminent electrical phenomenon and proposes that their appearance should be considered in the context of the technological expansion of the mid-20th century, particularly around World War II. The author argues that UFOs are not necessarily extraterrestrial but rather advanced technology, capable of time travel. The article also discusses the various shapes of UFOs, moving beyond the common "flying saucer" description to include discs, spheres, cigars, and even bird-like forms. The optical characteristics of UFOs are examined, including their luminosity, color changes, and the possibility of them being associated with electrical phenomena like St. Elmo's fire and atmospheric luminescence. The article concludes that UFOs are not silent, as commonly believed, and that their sounds, if any, are often masked by their propulsion systems or altered by electromagnetic fields.

Nyhed fra COSPAR (News from COSPAR)

This article reports on the decisions made by COSPAR (Committee on Space Research). COSPAR has adopted strict regulations to protect planets, especially Mars, from biological contamination by spacecraft. The goal is to preserve Mars as a potential "biological reserve" for studying life in space. The regulations mandate a high degree of sterility for all spacecraft intended for Mars missions, with a chance of accidental contamination no greater than 1:10,000 for landing missions and 3:100,000 for fly-by missions. These rules are to be applied to all planetary space missions.

Vægtløshedens indflydelse på den menneskelige organisme (The influence of weightlessness on the human organism)

This section discusses the physiological effects of spaceflight. It mentions that Yuri Gagarin's successor, Titov, will no longer be allowed to fly as an astronaut due to ear damage sustained during his flight. The article highlights a correlation between the duration of spaceflight and irregularities in astronauts' blood pressure, muscle tension, and metabolism. Russian measurements of brain activity after flights revealed irregularities in the central nervous system, which, although temporary for some astronauts, are considered warning signs.

Endnu et STYRBART sovjetisk rumskib (Another STEERABLE Soviet spaceship)

This article reports on the launch of the Soviet "Polyot 2" spacecraft on April 12th of the previous year. This unmanned spacecraft is part of the Polyos series and is designed to test maneuverability in orbit. It is equipped with scientific instruments to study conditions for future manned missions and is intended for use in building space stations. The spacecraft can move up and down and sideways, and its orbit is set between 310 and 550 km, with a period of 92.4 minutes. A radio transmitter on board operates at 19.895 megacycles.

JORDSKÆLV en følge af atomsprængninger (Earthquakes as a consequence of nuclear explosions)

This short piece quotes Sven Svantesson, a Swedish scientist, who claims that the major earthquake in Alaska was an echo of Soviet nuclear tests in Novaja Zemlja in August 1962. Svantesson's theory suggests that nuclear explosions, occurring at intervals of approximately 200 days, are followed by natural disasters in other parts of the world.

Teknisk aktuelt (Technical News) - Mars

This section details the missions of the American Mariner 4 and Soviet Zond 2 spacecraft, both launched towards Mars. Mariner 4's objectives include measuring solar wind, the interplanetary magnetic field, radiation, and meteors, as well as taking 22 images of the Martian surface. Zond 2 is expected to have similar tasks. The article describes the launch of Mariner 4, its separation from the Agena D rocket, and the challenges it faced in orienting itself using the star Canopus. It notes that Mariner 4 eventually found Canopus after several attempts, and its closest approach to Mars will be 8700 km. The article also mentions that the Soviet Zond 2 mission experienced reduced power from its solar batteries, potentially leading to a loss of contact before reaching Mars.

VENUS

This brief report discusses new analyses of the Venusian atmosphere from observations made by a balloon-borne telescope. The findings suggest that the clouds around Venus consist of ice crystals and that the surface temperature might not be as high as previously indicated by the Mariner 2 probe. The article speculates that the strong radio radiation detected by Mariner 2 could be due to lightning strikes or water-bearing clouds emitting radio waves.

VERDENSRUMMET (Outer Space)

This section reports on discoveries made by Explorer 18, which orbits between 200 and 200,000 km from Earth. It found that Earth's magnetic field resembles a comet's tail, with solar wind extending it millions of kilometers into space. The article also mentions the existence of a magnetic neutral zone where the field strength is very low, which could explain the aurora borealis and australis.

VOSKHOD

This update on the Soviet Voskhod space program describes observations made by the crew. They reported seeing "fireflies" (likely small particles) on several occasions, particularly when their line of sight was perpendicular to the sun's rays. These particles appeared in clusters and had a brightness comparable to stars. The crew believes these might be dust particles from the spacecraft. The article also describes the appearance of the aurora, which was observed as a dark yellow glow near the horizon, with a narrow, bright band illuminated by the Moon, and rays extending vertically from the horizon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO NYT demonstrates a commitment to presenting a broad spectrum of information related to UFO phenomena and space exploration. The editorial stance emphasizes objectivity and the inclusion of diverse perspectives, even if they differ from the editors' own. The magazine covers both the mysterious aspects of UFOs and the scientific advancements in space technology, suggesting a connection or comparison between the two. There is a clear effort to ground discussions in scientific and technical principles, as seen in the articles on physics, optics, and space missions. The inclusion of news from international space organizations like COSPAR and reports on Soviet space achievements indicates a global perspective on these topics. The magazine also addresses practical matters for its readers, such as subscription details and organizational contacts, reinforcing its role as a central information source for UFO enthusiasts in Scandinavia.

This issue of UFO-NYT, volume 12, issue 9, dated December 1964, focuses on UFO observations in Scandinavia and broader topics related to space exploration, science, and philosophy. The cover features a drawing of a spacecraft, possibly Apollo, and the main headline is 'UFO-observationer over Skandinavien'.

Space Exploration and Satellite Launches

The issue reports on various satellite launches and space missions. The Soviet VOSKHOD spacecraft is described as having an interior similar to the American Apollo, with a system for stabilization and orientation. Several satellite launches are detailed:

• Kosmos 50: Its landing failed, and it was officially stated to have been destroyed in the atmosphere, possibly due to a braking rocket failure or incorrect orientation.
• Kosmos 51: Launched on December 10th, it achieved an orbit of 554-264 km with a 490 inclination.
• Transit-drabanter: Two were launched with Thor-Able-Star, both successfully placed into orbit: one on October 6th (1090-1040 km, 90°) and another on December 13th (1070-1025 km, 90°).
• Thor-Agena: Launched on November 18th, achieving a 180-340 km orbit with a 700 inclination.
• Explorer 23: A 130 kg satellite launched on November 6th into a 465-980 km orbit (520° inclination) to study meteor streams by puncturing air-filled cylinders.
• Explorer 24 and 25: Launched on November 21st by a Scout rocket. Explorer 24 is a 3.6 m diameter, 9 kg balloon to study atmospheric density changes. Explorer 25 weighs 40 kg and will study radiation belts, proton, and electron distribution. Both entered a 525-2495 km orbit with an 81.3° inclination.
• San Marco: Launched on December 15th from Wallops Island by an Italian technical group using an American Scout rocket. The 115 kg Italian-built satellite entered a 210-820 km orbit with a 38° inclination to study atmospheric density and the ionosphere for long-distance radio communication.
• Titan-3 A: Launched on December 10th, successfully placing a 1700 kg 'ballast satellite' into a low orbit of approximately 200 km.
• Atlas-Centaur 3: Launched on June 30th, it failed to orbit due to a faulty fuel pump but was deemed partially successful as the RL-10 engines worked normally. It had four insulating panels that were jettisoned after passing through the dense atmosphere.
• Atlas Centaur 4: Launched on December 11th, described as a partially successful attempt, placing a 950 kg Surveyor satellite model into a 163-178 km orbit. The attempt to restart the RC-10 motors failed, possibly due to the movement of liquid hydrogen and oxygen in the tanks under weightlessness, causing the rocket to tumble.
• Explorer 26: A 46 kg satellite launched on December 21st by a Thor-Delta, considered likely successful, intended for a 320-25,000 km orbit (210° inclination).

UFO Observations in Scandinavia

The magazine reports on several UFO sightings from late 1964:

• November 5th: A large meteor was observed over Østsjælland and Stevns, moving from east to southwest at a low altitude.
• July 15th: A night watchman in Fredericia observed an object that appeared like a star, descended, and then ejected smaller luminous objects towards the main object, which changed color from neon-blue to orange.
• September 17th: A murermester (bricklayer) reported seeing a large spherical object with a cylindrical attachment hovering near the ground between Skorup and Vejerslev, with a human figure visible inside before it became invisible.
• September 24th: A group of four people observed an orange, oval object with strong lights on the highway between Horsens and Skanderborg, which followed a downward trajectory before leveling out.
• November 5th: An observer in Stevns reported seeing a reddish, humming object moving from right to left, described as banana-shaped with luminous spots.
• November 16th: Holger Sørensen in Harte near Kolding observed a green luminous object, approximately 5 meters long and 3 meters high, which caused his horse to be 'swept away' by an unseen force.
• November 26th: An observer in Hørsholm saw a luminous point that appeared as a banana-shaped object with lights, which changed course and faded out.

The article notes the reappearance of the elongated, banana- or crescent-shaped objects with luminous spots at each end.

Philosophical and Scientific Discussions

An article titled "Filosofi og teknik" (Philosophy and Technology) explores the relationship between philosophy and science, arguing they are not separate but deeply intertwined. It traces the historical development of philosophy from ancient Greece, highlighting the influence of religion and the human quest for understanding the mysteries of existence. The article critiques how philosophy has sometimes been led into dead ends by rhetoric rather than genuine inquiry, referencing Socrates' emphasis on self-knowledge and Aristotle's systematic approach to knowledge.

It discusses the evolution of philosophical thought through different eras, including the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and modern philosophy, noting the significant role of scientists and mathematicians in contemporary philosophical discourse. The article touches upon various modern philosophical schools, such as dialectical materialism, positivism, utilitarianism, existentialism, and logical empiricism.

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the implications of scientific advancements, particularly post-World War II. It quotes Swami Sant Dev Maharaj on science's responsibility and the potential for its discoveries to be used for destruction rather than progress. The article also references physicist Robert Oppenheimer's statement about the inherent use of scientific discoveries for creating bombs. It questions whether humanity is in control of its technological advancements and highlights the dangers of nuclear power and radioactive waste.

The article further examines the rapid progress in space exploration, suggesting that scientific understanding is still limited by the instruments and theories used. It poses fundamental questions about electricity and gravity, implying that current knowledge is incomplete. The emergence of UFO phenomena is presented as a challenge to established scientific paradigms, forcing a re-evaluation of natural laws and perceptions.

The author, Frank Pedersen, a civil engineer, engages with a letter from Hildur Eckardt, who questions the official recognition of UFOs and their inclusion in education in countries like Holland and Brazil. Pedersen defends the serious study of UFO phenomena, criticizing those who dismiss them without proper investigation and highlighting the contributions of scientists to organizations like NICAP. He argues that UFOs represent a forgotten knowledge that could have guided scientific development differently.

Another section discusses the concept of 'free energy', suggesting that UFOs have spurred research into this area, which could solve many problems related to interplanetary travel. It references articles in UFO-NYT junior and a book by Wilhelm Reich on 'Gådefuld Orgon-energie'. The conclusion emphasizes that universal knowledge will only be granted when humanity demonstrates its commitment to using scientific advancements for peaceful purposes and the betterment of life.

Letters and Quotes

The "Brevkassen" (Mailbox) section includes a letter from Hildur Eckardt inquiring about the official recognition of UFOs in Holland and Brazil and how the public perceives this. The response acknowledges that while some information might be exaggerated, the existence of UFOs is a recognized phenomenon. The issue also includes quotes from André Francois-Poncet and Alberto Moravia.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the reporting of UFO sightings, the progress and implications of space exploration, and a critical examination of the relationship between science, philosophy, and the unknown. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, advocating for a scientific yet open-minded approach that does not dismiss possibilities prematurely. There is a strong emphasis on the philosophical implications of scientific advancement and a concern for the ethical use of technology. The magazine encourages readers to engage with these topics and contribute their own observations and thoughts.

This issue of UFO-NYT, identified as issue number 19, focuses on a variety of UFO-related topics, including a comprehensive literature list, personal contact reports, and astronomical observations. The magazine appears to be a Danish publication dedicated to the study of unidentified flying objects and related phenomena.

Letter from H. C. Petersen

H. C. Petersen addresses the readers, discussing the public acknowledgment of flying saucers in Holland, where a state-recognized institute has produced educational films on the subject. He notes that while the existence of flying saucers is publicly acknowledged in Holland, the situation in Brazil is more complex, with a history of UFO observations and governmental debate. Petersen suggests that public announcements about flying saucers would not cause panic, citing the lack of panic in Brazil, Portugal, Israel, and Mexico.

He then delves into the controversial figure of George Adamski, describing him as a central figure in UFO research. Petersen highlights that Adamski has consistently reported new encounters with 'space people' for 12 years, published extensively, and that his claims have not been disproven, with some even supported by scientific findings. Petersen acknowledges that Adamski is the most controversial person in the UFO field, facing opposition from various scientific and belief systems, as well as skepticism from the general public.

Literature List

The 'Litteraturliste' section provides a catalog of available books on UFOs, categorized by language (Danish and English) and author. Prices are listed for each title. Notable authors include Allingham, Adamski, Hillard, Williamson, David Wise & Thomas B. Ross, Michel, and H. C. Petersen himself. The list also indicates which items are out of print or newly released. It is mentioned that SUFOI can supply other non-listed foreign UFO books, with an estimated 6-week delivery time and a price of around 30.00 DKK.

H. C. PETERSEN's Address Change

A notice informs readers about a change of address for H. C. Petersen due to property acquisition. His new address is Rønneallé 9, Sunds, Jyll. A further announcement states that the new address will be communicated in the April 1965 issue of UFO-NYT. Study meetings in Copenhagen, with over 120 registered attendees, are confirmed to proceed as planned.

"ADAMSKI nyt" (Adamski News)

This section continues the discussion on George Adamski, aimed at both those familiar with him and newcomers to the UFO subject. It reiterates that while many UFO reports are of dubious value, Adamski's accounts stand out due to their consistency over 12 years and the lack of disproof for his claims. Adamski's religious background is noted as influencing his perspective. The section argues that the 'flying saucer phenomenon' and 'Adamski' are not synonymous, but Adamski is a crucial figure that cannot be ignored when considering the broader picture. The editorial stance of UFO-NYT is to continue publishing Adamski-related material, believing that even if he is a fraud, the truth will eventually emerge.

"Kosmisk bulletin dec. 1964" (Cosmic Bulletin Dec. 1964)

This section, attributed to an unnamed author, details a successful lecture tour in the Midwestern and Eastern United States. The author expresses gratitude for assistance received. A significant event was an appearance on a major TV station in Green Bay, Wisconsin, owned by Norbertine Fathers. The program director was so impressed that he created a video tape of the author's presentation for a Sunday afternoon broadcast, financed by a religious organization. This is seen as evidence of growing interest in inhabited planets when the subject is presented appropriately.

Other media appearances included TV and radio stations, with one station in Baltimore broadcasting a weekly segment daily due to high demand. The author also participated in the Bob Kennedy Contact Show in Boston, which covered 30 states. The author notes that the interest is not just in observations but in the underlying life philosophy of the 'Brothers' (extraterrestrials).

The author emphasizes the need for humanity to adopt the philosophy brought by the 'Brothers' to improve the world and foster better relations between Earth and other planets. This is presented as the only hope for civilization's survival. The author highlights a shift from passive observation to active engagement and notes that many respected individuals are now showing genuine interest, which is crucial for spreading the truth.

The author discusses the idea of a future society based on 'support or allocation systems,' similar to those on other planets. This future society would be enabled by advanced technology, with machines and robots performing labor, freeing humans to develop a better world. The author warns against impulsive actions that could lead to destruction and identifies poverty as a major global problem that needs to be eliminated to achieve a better society.

"Kosmisk bulletin dec. 1964" (Continued)

This part of the bulletin discusses the Mariner III space probe to Mars, questioning whether information gathered will be released to the public, especially if Mars inhabitants do not wish for interference. The author announces a departure from Vista, California, from December 17th until January, with Sunday afternoon discussions resuming on January 17th. The author plans to travel to Mexico to investigate opportunities and costs for a trip to Yucatan with a group, and to establish a school for the study of life sciences in Mexico City. Color films of UFOs taken during a recent trip over various US locations will be available for public viewing starting February 1st.

"Kontaktberetninger..." (Contact Reports...)

This section compiles several contact reports.

"En landing på farmen" (A Landing on the Farm)

This report, originally from 'Flying Saucer Review,' details an encounter by farmer Gary T. Wilcox in Tioga County, New York. Wilcox reported seeing a shiny, egg-shaped object, approximately 20 feet long and 16 feet wide, land on his farm. Two short, human-like figures emerged, wearing seamless clothing and hoods that concealed their faces. They spoke English and identified themselves as being from Mars. They expressed interest in organic fertilizer and asked why artificial fertilizer was used. The figures explained that they cultivated food from the air and that changes in the universe would create problems. They also mentioned that their spaceship was less visible in daylight and that Earth astronauts would not survive in space travel due to the harsh conditions. When Wilcox offered them a sack of fertilizer, the craft ascended rapidly and disappeared. The report notes that local authorities were involved, and the farmer's account was a subject of much discussion in the town.

UFO as a Submarine Type

This report, from Giacomo Barra of Savona, Italy, describes UFOs observed entering and exiting the sea. The author recounts an experience with three other individuals on a motorboat when the sea became rough. They observed a large ball of water rise, followed by an object that ascended from the sea, hovered briefly, and then shot away at high speed. The object's underside resembled an inverted saucer with a cone-shaped top.

Italian UFO Reports

Authored by Gordon W. Creighton, this section highlights Italy's significant publicity regarding UFOs. It references previous reports from the Italian weekly 'La Dominica del Corriere' and mentions a Turin group called 'Centro Studi Clipeologici' that has established contact with study groups worldwide. The article notes that Italy has had numerous sightings and landings, with over 2000 landings estimated globally and at least 200 in Italy. A specific report from Antonio De Luca describes seeing a flying saucer with a green light, occupied by figures in strange suits, landing on his farm.

"Observationer" (Observations)

"Amatørastronomer observerer UFO's" (Amateur Astronomers Observe UFOs)

This report, from 'Lumières dans la Nuit,' details an observation made on July 8, 1954, by a retired professional astronomer and his wife. They observed an object in the sky resembling the planet Venus but much brighter. Using binoculars and a telescope, they saw a small, metallic, shining sphere. Later, two larger objects appeared, exhibiting clear movements and rotating, emitting light. The objects eventually moved out of the telescope's field of view. The observers estimated the objects to be very high up, possibly in the stratosphere or beyond. They described the objects as rotating and emitting light, reflecting the sun's rays, and noted their unusual movements.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the public and official acknowledgment of UFOs, the nature of extraterrestrial visitors and their philosophies, the role of contactees like George Adamski, and the reporting of specific sightings and encounters. The magazine's editorial stance, as expressed in the 'ADAMSKI nyt' section, is to present information related to UFOs and contactees, even if controversial, believing in the eventual emergence of truth. There is a clear interest in the philosophical and societal implications of extraterrestrial contact, as well as the potential for space exploration and inter-planetary relations. The publication also seems to be a platform for sharing personal UFO experiences and research findings from various international sources.

This issue of UFO-NYT, spanning pages 29-38, is a collection of articles and reports related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related phenomena. The content is primarily in Danish, with some translations from other languages. The magazine appears to be a publication dedicated to exploring UFO sightings, theories, and scientific discussions surrounding them.

Article 1: Non-terrestrial Satellite Circling Earth

This section begins with a quote from Harold Hill, an amateur astronomer, who states that a observed phenomenon was not related to astronomy, posing the question, "But what is it then?". The editor notes this as a prime example of how difficult it can be for an active astronomer, even when dealing with an observation from 10 years prior that was not previously published.

The main part of this article details an observation made on April 8, 1964, in France, by an amateur astronomer. The object was seen near the constellation Leo, at an altitude of approximately 450 above the horizon. It was described as having a brightness similar to Alfa Hydra and moving directly west at a speed about three times that of Echo I. The observer concluded it was a satellite moving in orbit around Earth due to its speed and steady light.

The object's trajectory took it past Betelgeuse and Aldebaran, and it passed directly under the Pleiades. The observation lasted just over a minute. The observer, L. Dubreucq, reported this to Pierre Neirinck, who noted that the object did not behave like known satellites. Neirinck mentioned that the most unusual object at the time was designated '5 C', moving from south-southwest to north-northeast.

Dubreucq's report also references an article from 1961 in "Science et Vie" titled "Ghost Sputniks" by Aimé Michel. Michel had reported a mysterious object observed five times over New York since August 23, 1960, and photographed by a special camera over Bethpage, Long Island, on August 25, 1960. Another observation was made at Trinity University in San-Antonio on September 19, 1960, with the object moving in the opposite direction of usual satellites and at a speed three times that of Echo I. Dubreucq notes the consistency in the behavior patterns of these observations.

Article 2: From Brazil

This section reports on an incident that occurred on October 31, 1963, near the Peropava River in Brazil. A strange, unidentified object reportedly fell into the river, causing panic. An 8-year-old girl, Rute de Souza, witnessed the object, describing it as a giant, polished aluminum sphere. It flew low over her house, then struck a dry riverbed before entering the river. Upon hitting the water, the object rotated three times, changed direction, and submerged, causing the water to boil intensely for several minutes.

Other witnesses included a Japanese land worker, Issuo Oikiti, who estimated the object's diameter to be no more than 2 meters, and Raul Nunes, who saw it crash into the river but could not estimate its size. Rute's mother heard a humming sound like a small jet.

Days later, divers from the "Associaçao Christa de Moços" investigated the riverbed but found nothing. The investigation was hampered by poor light and muddy conditions. The case remains unsolved.

Article 3: Another Talk by Wilbert B. Smith

This article presents excerpts from a talk given by the late Wilbert B. Smith, a prominent UFO researcher and former head of Canada's Project Magnet. Smith's talk, delivered in March 1961, touches upon the implications of information received from non-terrestrial sources for conventional science.

Smith discusses how these sources suggest that the speed of light is not a constant and that time itself is a "field function" rather than a measurable quantity. He posits that time behaves differently in various parts of the universe and can be altered by natural causes or intelligent control. He uses a thought experiment involving a spaceship journey to illustrate the relativistic paradox of time dilation, suggesting that the paradox is resolved if time is variable.

Smith then shifts to discussing the technology of extraterrestrial craft. He explains that these craft operate by manipulating Earth's gravitational field and that they require a "differentiated time-field" to maneuver. He mentions experiments conducted by his group that demonstrated the ability to alter the weight of objects by approximately 1%. He asserts that this capability, derived from information provided by "people from outside," proves the advanced nature of their technology.

He elaborates on the principle behind "bell-shaped" craft, suggesting they use magnetic bearings with rotating charged spheres. He also discusses how UFOs can cause damage to conventional aircraft. According to Smith, the UFO's field can reduce the strength of solid matter to a point where it can no longer withstand normal stresses, causing aircraft to disintegrate. He mentions that his group developed an instrument based on this principle to detect these "reduced binding" areas.

Smith also addresses the reduction in nuclear weapons testing, speculating that it might be due to public opinion and the potentially dangerous effects of nuclear explosions on Earth's interior, citing a powerful nuclear explosion in Bikini as an example.

Finally, Smith touches upon the concept of "dematerialization," explaining it as a manipulation of light and fields to create an illusion of disappearance, similar to a magician's trick.

Article 4: UFO Detectors

This section announces the availability of a new UFO detector, the "Chartier" model, which is more sensitive than homemade versions. This detector reacts to changes in the local geomagnetic field. It uses a "Cartwright-type" magnetic needle that does not lock onto metal. When the needle is affected by a magnetic field change, it breaks a light beam, activating a photocell and a transistorized amplifier, which in turn triggers an alarm.

The article highlights that the detector's power consumption is practically zero. It thanks the constructor, who is an anonymous subscriber, for his selfless contribution. The price is 125 French Francs, and orders will be processed after October due to vacation time.

Article 5: What is Said in Soviet Russia

This article discusses Soviet interest in space and extraterrestrial life, referencing an article in the Soviet newspaper "Trud" by Dr. M. Klyatkovo. Klyatkovo suggests that humanity has long dreamed of contacting beings from other worlds and that this is now a subject of serious scientific research.

He outlines three categories of extraterrestrial civilizations: those with interplanetary connections within their own solar systems, those with connections across multiple solar systems within a galaxy, and those with connections across multiple galaxies. Klyatkovo believes these advanced civilizations are likely emitting radio signals.

N. S. Kardashev, a leading specialist, is reportedly developing a schema for these signals. The article suggests that humanity might be on the verge of receiving messages from non-terrestrial civilizations, and that signals from the Aries and Pegasus constellations could be intelligently controlled.

The article also mentions that Soviet scientists are interested in finding evidence of extraterrestrial spacecraft, citing a statement from V. Komarov and V. Davydov. It notes that Soviet authorities have reportedly deciphered signals from space. The author concludes that the Soviet Union is unique in its efforts to prepare its population for the potential shock of extraterrestrial contact.

Article 6: UFOs in the Past?

This section presents information about hieroglyphs found in the Baian-Kara-Ula mountain range between Tibet and China. These hieroglyphs, discovered over 25 years prior, describe "flying vehicles" from 12,000 years ago. The hieroglyphs depict disc-shaped objects and beings referred to as "Dropa" who descended from the sky.

Archaeologists have found 716 stone discs with a hole in the center and a spiral double groove. The inscription is described as unique and took over 20 years to decipher. The content, which reportedly tells of "Dropa" arriving with peaceful intentions, was initially suppressed by the Peking Academy of Prehistory.

The article also mentions the discovery of "Dropa" and "Khamra" people in mountain caves, who were approximately 1.30 meters tall. The text questions the interpretation of "flying vehicles" as mere superstition, suggesting that other hieroglyphs from the Kham people might depict their own "flying vehicles."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-NYT include the observation and analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena, the potential for non-terrestrial technology, the implications of these phenomena for our understanding of physics (particularly time and relativity), and the historical and archaeological evidence for ancient contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and a willingness to explore unconventional theories, while also acknowledging the challenges of scientific acceptance and the need for rigorous investigation. The magazine seems to advocate for a serious consideration of UFO phenomena, presenting evidence and expert opinions from various sources, including amateur astronomers and researchers.

This issue of UFO-NYT presents a collection of articles and reports related to UFO phenomena, ancient mysteries, and the nature of UFO research.

The Baian-Kara-Ula Hieroglyphs

The magazine begins with a discussion of the mysterious hieroglyphs found in the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains. These inscribed plates, when analyzed, revealed a high content of cobalt and metal, and displayed a surprising oscillation rhythm, leading to speculation that they might have served as electrical conductors. The text references ancient Chinese legends of small, thin, yellow beings with large heads and emaciated bodies, who were said to have emerged from the sky. Archaeological findings in caves, including skeletal remains dating back approximately 12,000 years, are linked to these legends, referred to as the Dropa and Khamrace findings. These remains indicated a slender build and large skulls. The article notes that early Chinese archaeological reports described them as an 'extinct ape species,' a theory that was ridiculed by archaeologist Tschi Pu-tei in 1940. Pu-tei proposed that the skeleton remains were from apes, but the inscribed plates were placed in the caves by a later culture. The cave walls also reportedly show carvings of the sun, moon, stars, and clusters of pea-sized points approaching the mountains, adding to the enigma.

What Should a Serious UFO Researcher Be Like?

This article explores the characteristics of a serious UFO researcher, questioning how such individuals can be distinguished. It highlights the lack of respect often faced by researchers from the general public, who may react with mockery and condescension when presented with evidence of unknown flying objects. The author suggests that to counter this resistance, a researcher needs a reserve of strength beyond mere knowledge and certainty, as it is easy to lose one's head in such discussions. The piece touches upon the common human desire to be contacted by extraterrestrial beings. It posits that true worthiness for contact might stem from being tolerant of new ideas, whether in politics, science, or personal beliefs, and possessing a broad horizon. The article contrasts this with a rigid, academic mindset that focuses on proving what is impossible rather than exploring possibilities. It suggests that individuals like Daniel Fry and George Adamski, who are self-taught, embody this open-mindedness. The author concludes that by cultivating a greater perspective and being prepared, humanity can be seen as positive representatives worthy of contact.

UFO Cycles and Activities

Dr. Olavo Fontes contributes an article discussing his observations of UFO activity over a 15-year period. He suggests a methodical plan is being followed by these phenomena, involving geographical reconnaissance, investigations into military capabilities, and testing of advanced technology like rockets and satellites. Fontes notes that UFO activity appears to follow a 26-month observation curve, which is overlapped by another cycle occurring approximately every 5 years. This periodic activity has become more complex over time. He recalls his suspicion of this pattern emerging in 1957 when reports unexpectedly flooded in. Fontes predicted the wave of non-terrestrial activity in the summer of 1962, a prediction he discussed with researcher Aimé Michel in Paris. He finds the 5-year period more interesting due to a 'program change' occurring with each cycle. The first cycle (1947-1952) involved reconnaissance of geographical details at a distance. The second cycle (1952-1957) was more thorough, focusing on military defense, and included landings for collecting plants and minerals. The third cycle (1957-1962) saw fewer landings and no collections. The fourth cycle, which began slightly earlier than expected, first appeared over Argentina and then spread to Brazil, and at the time of writing, was located over Peru and other countries. The most surprising aspect of this new wave is the reported attempts to collect various animal species and the abduction of humans, suggesting a shift from collecting minerals and plants to gathering biological samples.

Redactional Addition: The magazine notes the abduction of Raimundo do Mafra da Silva in August 1962 and Xavier Telemaco in September 1962 in Brazil. It also reports that a spaceship crew stole 17 chickens, 6 pigs, and 2 cows in another part of Brazil, with a police report filed. The local Brazilian press has given significant attention to these cases.

Editorial Note

Frank Lerbak, the editorial secretary for UFO-NYT, introduces the new publication. He promises that the magazine will strive to present information about extraterrestrial objects in a sober and objective manner, aiming to appeal to readers' tastes. He invites feedback from readers to help improve the publication.

Contact Groups

A note indicates that the list of contact groups is under revision and will be published again once updated.

UFO Landing in New Mexico, USA

This detailed report recounts the incident involving police officer Lonnie Zamora on April 24, 1964, near Sorocco, New Mexico. Zamora heard a loud, thundering sound and investigated, discovering an egg-shaped, metallic object on the ground with two leg-like supports. He observed two small, human-like figures dressed in white overalls near the object. As Zamora approached, the object made noise again and emitted dust. The figures disappeared, presumably into the object. Zamora fled in fear. When the noise stopped, he saw the object lift off and hover about six meters above the ground before moving away horizontally. State police, the FBI, and White Sands personnel investigated the site, confirming a burnt area where the object had landed, along with four wedge-shaped imprints from its supports.

Dr. Hynek, an astronomer involved in UFO investigations, and Sergent Moody examined the evidence and interviewed Zamora. Dr. Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico vouched for Zamora's character and credibility, describing him as a reliable witness. The proximity to military support bases like White Sands makes the possibility of Zamora mistaking a conventional aircraft for a UFO unlikely. Official statements from White Sands indicated no known aircraft matching Zamora's description were launched from their facilities. Theories involving balloons or helicopters were considered but found insufficient to explain all aspects of the sighting, such as the figures, the burnt ground, and the imprints. Zamora's description of the figures' height (approximately 1.35 meters) and the object's low altitude flight were also discussed, casting doubt on the helicopter theory.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
