UFO Nyt - No 5 september-oktober 1965

Magazine Overview

This issue of UFO NYT, dated September-October 1965, is published by S. U. F. O. I. - SKANDINAVISK UFO INFORMATION and costs 4.00 kr. The cover prominently features the title 'UFO NYT' and highlights a surge in UFO activity and official confirmations.

Editorial Stance and Key Themes

The magazine's editorial stance, as indicated by the "Red." notes and the lead article, is to present information about UFO research and phenomena without necessarily endorsing all the views expressed. The overarching theme is the increasing number of UFO sightings globally and the growing, albeit often reluctant, acknowledgment by authorities. The issue delves into the concept of a 'new epoch' in UFO activity, marked by significant events and a potential shift towards greater transparency. The lead article, "Begyndelsen til enden..." (The Beginning of the End...), suggests that the current wave of sightings, especially those officially confirmed, could signal a turning point in how UFOs are perceived and reported.

Articles and Reports

"Begyndelsen til enden..." (The Beginning of the End...)

This lead article reflects on the period since the "Socorro episode" in April 1964, noting a significant increase in UFO sightings, landing traces, and close encounters, particularly in the southwestern United States, followed by a wave in the eastern states. The article mentions Adamski adding footage to his film and discusses how the phenomenon spread to Australia and South America, with reports of "mysterious metal objects." The author criticizes the continued denial by governments, even as millions witness these events. A key event highlighted is the report from July 7, 1965, concerning an observation over three scientific stations in Antarctica, which the article claims was an official acknowledgment by two governments that "flying saucers exist." The author sarcastically suggests that Denmark could still be among the first to acknowledge them. The article also touches upon the skepticism of some experts, like Magister Lundbak, who attributed sightings to atmospheric phenomena.

"UFO'ernes eksistens bekræftet af regeringerne i Argentina og Chile."

This section details the official confirmation of UFO sightings by the governments of Argentina and Chile. The Argentine Navy reported a lens-shaped object on July 3, 1965, near their Dacepción base in Antarctica. The object emitted various colored lights, exhibited speed changes, and hovered. The Chilean Ministry of Defense also confirmed a sighting, noting it was the second in 18 days. The commander of the Chilean Air Force base, Mario Jahn Barrera, stated in a radio interview that the object was real, flew at incredible speed, and performed maneuvers that were not characteristic of any known terrestrial aircraft. He also mentioned that color photographs were taken but would take time to develop.

"Tallerken-mystik i Argentina"

This report from Buenos Aires describes a widespread "flying saucer mania" in Argentina following reports from the South Pole. An Argentinian astronomer, Enrique Ferras, examined photos of a flying object and concluded it was neither a celestial phenomenon nor a man-made satellite. Newspaper reports and photos from Bahia Blanca showed a luminous object emitting light. The article speculates whether these phenomena might be related to the Van Allen radiation belts.

"Mystik over australsk flyvebase."

A luminous object was observed over Australia's largest airbase in Queensland, causing concern among aviation authorities. Witnesses described it as moon-sized and changing color from yellow to green and blue.

"Flygande tefat"

A brief report from Jönköping, Sweden, mentions a reddish object resembling a lampshade hovering over Taberg before disappearing at high speed.

"Flyvende tallerken over Chile."

Reports from Valparaiso, Chile, indicate that people observed a flying saucer flying at high altitude and speed, changing direction frequently, and emitting red and blue flashes. Some described it as a blue saucer with an orange circle. Similar unidentified flying objects were also reported over various parts of the United States.

"Fire flyvende tallerkener lyste rødt over Amerika."

Radar at an Oklahoma airbase tracked four mysterious objects, which were later observed over Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas. Witnesses described them as glowing red, exploding into sparks, and flickering. The objects were reported to be flying at high altitudes (up to 7000 km), with some descending to lower levels. The case was forwarded to the US Department of Defense. The article notes that the US Air Force has 9000 unsolved UFO observations since 1947.

"Tallerken « punkteret."

This article from Lisbon suggests that the mystery of flying saucers over Portugal might have been solved. Experts declared that a mysterious object observed over the Azores was likely a balloon. The head of the airport, Herculano Barbosa, stated that the incident was not due to electromagnetic influence but to an electrician's carelessness during repairs. Hermano Cabral, head of a local aviation company, described the object as an oblong balloon made of transparent plastic that appeared to rotate and move with a predetermined course.

"Marssignaler generet af UFO."

A mysterious luminous object was observed hovering over Canberra Airport in Australia while the US probe "Mariner 4" was photographing Mars. Experts were puzzled, and the object's appearance coincided with difficulties in receiving signals from Mariner. The Goldstone station also reported irregular signals as Mariner photographed Mars.

"Mystik over København"

Several people observed mysterious objects in the sky over Copenhagen. One family saw three mat-light objects moving at high speed, followed by two more. Experts were unable to explain the phenomenon.

"En strøm af tallerkener."

This section compiles reports from South America, including Venezuela, where three beings from space allegedly landed on a farm, leaving a large, scorched circle. Chilean newspapers reported an "invasion" of unidentified flying objects, with pilots witnessing them. Reports of discs, cones, heart-shaped objects, sparks, and fire streaks were common across South America, Australia, and Antarctica.

"Talte med en tallerken-mand."

A report from Rio de Janeiro claims that a 70 cm tall pilot from a flying saucer had a conversation with a fisherman in the Paraíba River. The pilot, speaking fluent Portuguese, gave the fisherman a piece of unknown metal as proof of the encounter.

"Flyvende tallerkener i Mexico"

In Mexico, a group of hunters reported seeing at least 12 flying saucers. Two individuals observed a large object that blinked in response to their spotlight, followed by 11 other similar objects.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the increasing frequency and global nature of UFO sightings, the official (though often reluctant) acknowledgments by governments, the physical effects attributed to these objects, and the persistent mystery surrounding their origin and purpose. The editorial stance, while presenting these reports, maintains a degree of journalistic detachment, as noted in the disclaimer that S.U.F.O.I. does not necessarily endorse all the views presented. The magazine appears to be a platform for disseminating information and fostering discussion within the UFO research community, particularly in Scandinavia.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 185
Date: August 25, 28, and April 12, 1965 (multiple dates referenced for articles)

This issue of UFO-NYT delves into various explanations for UFO phenomena, space exploration updates, and speculative theories about the Moon.

UFO Theories Explored

Mexican Students' Encounter

A report from Mexico City details a claim by six Mexican students who assert they were taken aboard a flying saucer and visited a space station on Ganymedes, a moon of Jupiter. They reported interacting with the inhabitants, who allegedly planned a peaceful conquest of Earth in October of that year. The students, from different educational institutions, did not know each other prior to the alleged event.

Meteorological Explanation for UFOs

In Dallas, Texas, meteorologist Dale Milford proposed a theory that UFO sightings are actually reflections from a layer of warm air situated between two cooler air layers. He observed these phenomena during a flight over an area with numerous reported sightings. Milford described seeing what appeared to be a flying object, which he concluded was the reflection of starlight moving in various directions.

Lunar Dust Theory

Professor L. Brown from Southern Connecticut State College suggested that dust from the Moon, entering Earth's upper atmosphere, could be responsible for the luminous reactions observed as UFOs. He theorized that these particles, possibly positively charged, could create persistent light phenomena similar to antimatter reactions. Brown speculated that this dust might originate from the Soviet Lunik rocket, which created a large dust cloud upon impacting the Moon.

Critique of Current Theories

A commentary by Frank Pedersen critically examines the meteorological and lunar dust theories. Pedersen argues that while these theories might explain some luminous phenomena, they fail to account for the majority of UFO observations, such as formation flights, low-altitude sightings, and variations in color and speed. He also notes that Dr. Menzel had previously proposed similar cold and warm air theories. Pedersen questions the scientific basis of Brown's lunar dust theory, particularly regarding the moon's surface charge and the mechanism of light reactions. He lists several unexplained aspects, including the nature of formations, low-flying objects, color and speed variations, photographic evidence, and the effects of UFOs on engines and magnetic fields.

Russian Astronomer's Findings

A brief report mentions Russian astronomer A. Kalinjak, who, using spectrograms, determined that three of Jupiter's moons—Io, Europa, and Ganymedes—possess atmospheres.

Space Exploration Updates

Gemini 4 Mission

The Gemini 4 mission, launched on June 3, 1965, involved a 97-hour, 57-minute flight around Earth with astronauts James McDivitt and Edward White. The mission included attempts at rendezvous with the Titan 2 rocket stage, which proved difficult due to the rocket's erratic movements. McDivitt used a significant amount of fuel in these maneuvers. Edward White performed a spacewalk lasting 20 minutes, using a gas pistol for maneuvering and tethered to the spacecraft. The mission also involved photographing cloud formations and geological features. The astronauts described Earth as a blue sphere partially covered by white clouds against a black sky. McDivitt reported seeing three objects, one cylindrical and two luminous points.

Gemini 5 Mission

The Gemini 5 mission, launched on August 21, 1965, carried astronauts Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad. The mission's primary goal was a rendezvous with the REP (Radar Evaluation Pod). However, fuel cell issues arose, affecting power generation. Despite these challenges, the rendezvous attempt was partially successful, achieving a close proximity of 50 km. The pilots also photographed cloud formations and geological features, and observed two Minute-Man missile launches. They also reported observing 'fireflies' that formed from urine ejected into the vacuum.

Soviet Lunar Missions

New Moon Attempts: Russia continued its lunar exploration with three lunar rockets. Luna 5, launched on May 9, intended a soft landing but crashed due to premature firing of its braking rockets, creating a dust cloud observed for six minutes. Luna 6, launched on July 8, missed the Moon due to a malfunctioning steering rocket, passing at a distance of 160,000 km. Zond 3, launched on July 18, was officially stated to be in orbit around the Sun, but Western experts speculated it was a test for a Venus mission. Later, it was revealed that Zond 3 transmitted images from the far side of the Moon at a distance of 11,600 km, capturing images for 68 minutes. The images showed no dark 'seas' visible on the near side, leading to speculation about lunar geology.

Zond 3 Images: The images from Zond 3 revealed that only 10% of the Moon's far side is covered by 'seas,' compared to 40% on the near side. The astronomers did not offer an explanation, suggesting it might be revealed when humans land there. The image transmission began at a distance of 2.2 million km.

Speculative Theories on Lunar Surface

Pastor Cyr's Theory

An article by Pastor Guy J. Cyr, summarized from "Flying Saucers," presents a theory suggesting intelligent activity on the Moon. Cyr posits that the Moon's surface is not inert but rather a massive, all-encompassing "spring mattress" composed of living, thread-like fibers. These fibers, he claims, are fine, form intricate networks, and are highly porous, with a low density and poor conductivity. He suggests that the observed 'deep holes with vertical walls' are a result of these fibers growing vertically. Cyr argues that this biological structure is the only plausible explanation for the Moon's unique reflective properties and its ability to withstand meteor bombardment.

Analysis of Lunar Surface Characteristics

The article details extensive research into the Moon's surface properties, including radar-echo studies, photometric measurements, and analysis of light polarization. These studies indicate that the lunar surface is exceptionally smooth on a microscopic level, with a very low albedo. The material is described as highly opaque and not reflective like mineral crystals. The consistency of the Moon's brightness during full moon, regardless of observation point, is highlighted as a peculiar characteristic. The author dismisses mineral dust and slag powder as explanations due to their reflective properties. The material is described as finely divided, yet its light reflection is strong, suggesting particles around 10 microns in size. The article also notes that the lunar surface has small, deep holes with vertical walls and sharp edges, and that the material's density is low, with a dielectric constant below 2.8, significantly lower than typical minerals.

Conclusion on Lunar Surface Structure

Based on the evidence, the author concludes that the Moon's surface is a "spring mattress" of living, thread-like fibers. This structure, he argues, explains the observed phenomena better than inorganic explanations. He suggests that the 'clumps' detected beneath the surface are the 'stems and branches' that form this fibrous growth. This theory, he believes, resolves many long-standing questions about the Moon's unusual characteristics and the possibility of life.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained and speculative aspects of UFO phenomena. It presents various theories, from scientific explanations like meteorological reflections and lunar dust to more radical ideas about intelligent life on the Moon. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting different viewpoints and encouraging readers to consider unconventional possibilities. There's a clear interest in space exploration and its potential implications for understanding UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The publication also seems to engage in critical analysis of proposed theories, questioning their completeness and scientific validity.

This issue of UFO-NYT, dated June 1965, is primarily focused on exploring various theories and reports related to space phenomena, UFOs, and potential extraterrestrial contact. The magazine presents a mix of scientific speculation, witness accounts, and news updates.

Lunar Surface Theory

The article "Reflektioner over en teori" (Reflections on a theory) delves into a speculative theory proposed by Pastor Cyr, suggesting that the Moon's surface is not barren but covered by a living, vegetation-like 'spring mattress'. This 'overhud' (epidermis) is theorized to be a form of flora that protects the Moon from the harsh environment of space, including solar radiation and cosmic particles. The theory attempts to explain the Moon's uniform appearance and lack of visible features like mountains or valleys, attributing them to this organic layer. The article discusses how this vegetation might explain phenomena like the polarization of moonlight and the Moon's seemingly unchanging surface. It also touches upon the possibility of a thin atmosphere being sustained by this 'flora'.

Potential Earth-Asteroid Collision

Another significant piece, "Sammenstød i rummet" (Collision in space), discusses the potential threat of the asteroid Icarus colliding with Earth on June 15, 1968. Icarus is described as a 1-2 km diameter asteroid with a highly elliptical orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than Mercury. A collision with Earth could create a massive crater, potentially destroying New York and causing widespread devastation. The article notes that while current technology is insufficient to deflect the asteroid, evacuation of threatened areas might be possible.

Mariner 4 Mission to Mars

"Resultater fra Mariner 4" (Results from Mariner 4) reports on the findings from the Mariner 4 probe's flyby of Mars in July 1965. Key discoveries include Mars' lack of a magnetic field and radiation belt, a very thin atmosphere (1/50th of Earth's density), and a surface covered with craters. The photographs taken revealed approximately 70 craters ranging from 15 to 200 km in diameter, likely formed by asteroid impacts. No Martian canals or geological features suggesting internal activity were found.

UFO Sighting in Florida

The lead article, "Landinger og kontakter" (Landings and contacts), details a reported UFO sighting by John Reeves in Florida on March 2, 1965. Reeves described a blue-green and purplish-red flying saucer with a robot pilot landing near his camping site. He claimed the robot, about 5 feet tall and wearing a helmet, interacted with him briefly before returning to the craft. Reeves provided paper-like material, allegedly left by the robot, which was sent for analysis. The article also mentions that the US Air Force's Project Bluebook, responsible for investigating UFO reports, was involved in the inquiry.

Lunar Rotation and Adamski's Claims

"Adamski og månens bagside" (Adamski and the Moon's backside) by Børge Jensen explores the phenomenon of the Moon's 'bound rotation', where it always shows the same face to Earth. The author questions the scientific explanation for this phenomenon and links it to Adamski's claims about extraterrestrial contact and the existence of life on the Moon's far side. The article discusses the possibility of a bulge on the Moon's surface affecting its atmosphere and potential habitability, suggesting that current scientific understanding might be incomplete.

Life in Space and Earth's Magnetic Pole

"Liv i rummet" (Life in space) summarizes discussions from a conference on the chances of life in space. It highlights the idea that advanced civilizations might destroy themselves within 1000 years of discovering atomic energy, making contact unlikely. However, if they survive this period, they could exist for millions of years, with interstellar distances being a significant factor. The article also touches upon the rapid movement of Earth's magnetic south pole, noting its significant displacement over the years.

Venus Photography

"Første fotografi af Venus?" (First photograph of Venus?) reports on possible Soviet astronomers capturing the first surface image of Venus. An ultraviolet photograph reportedly shows a dark spot, which might indicate an opening in Venus's thick cloud cover.

Contact Reports and UFOlogy

"Kontaktberetninger" (Contact reports) by Leif Eckhoff Pedersen discusses the challenges of verifying contactee claims, such as those made by Daniel Fry. The author acknowledges the skepticism surrounding such reports but emphasizes their importance in UFO research, suggesting that even one genuine contact could provide invaluable knowledge. The article introduces Daniel Fry as an engineer with a background in rocketry and his reported contact experience.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the nature of celestial bodies like the Moon and Mars, and the investigation of UFO phenomena. The magazine adopts a stance of open inquiry, presenting speculative theories alongside scientific findings and witness accounts, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional scientific understanding. There is a clear interest in exploring the unknown and challenging established paradigms, particularly concerning UFOs and potential alien contact, with a notable leaning towards the claims of figures like Adamski and Daniel Fry.

This issue of UFO-NYT, dated 1950 and identified by issue number 205, presents a summary of Daniel Fry's original account of his UFO encounter from 1950, as written by Leif Eckhoff Pedersen. The magazine also includes reports on other UFO sightings, theoretical discussions, and reader contributions.

Daniel Fry's Account

The central piece is Daniel Fry's detailed narrative of his experience on July 4, 1950, near Las Cruces, USA. Fry, who was initially there to see fireworks, found himself stranded at an abandoned military facility. Around 8:30 PM, after the air conditioning in his room failed and the heat became oppressive, he decided to take a walk. While near the Organ Mountains, he observed stars suddenly extinguish. He then saw an oval object, approximately 30 feet in diameter, descend silently and land about 50 feet away, flattening bushes beneath it. Fry describes the object's surface as smooth and cool to the touch, but was warned by a voice that it was 'warm' due to a force field that kept him at a molecular distance from the surface. This force field, he was told, repels other matter and protects the craft from atmospheric friction.

The voice, which Fry initially mistook for a warning, explained that the 'warmth' was not radioactivity but a side effect of the force field. It also revealed that contact with the field could cause red blood cells to be absorbed by the liver, leading to death. Fry was informed that the entity communicating with him was not human and that it was part of an expedition to study Earth's atmosphere and humanity's capacity to adapt to new concepts. The entity stated that their bodies needed at least four years to acclimatize to Earth's conditions and that political tensions on Earth needed to decrease before they could offer further assistance.

Fry was invited aboard the craft, which he described as an unmanned laboratory with a passenger cabin. The entity, communicating from a mothership, suggested a trip to New York to witness its cityscape from a high altitude.

Other UFO Sightings and Discussions

Landing at Dybbøl

A report describes a sighting near Dybbøl, Denmark, on May 7, 1965. A farmer and his wife observed a blue, half-elliptical light object with red lights that ascended vertically and disappeared within 4-5 minutes. The object was estimated to be 5-6 meters in size and was seen at a distance of 300 meters.

Brevkassen (Letterbox)

This section features reader contributions and editorial responses:

• Theodore's 'Cosmic Laws' Article: A reader questions the article's portrayal of Dr. Einstein's 'unified field theory' as a solved problem, noting it was one of his unresolved issues. The editor clarifies that while the theory was considered 'secure' by many, it faced ongoing scrutiny and may require revision as new phenomena emerge.
• Russian Astronomers and UFO Signals: A reader asks why Gennadij Sjolomitskij, who reportedly intercepted and interpreted periodic radio signals, was not mentioned in an article about Russian astronomers and theories of distant civilizations. The editor explains that Sjolomitskij was not involved in formulating these specific theories, and his intercepted signals are not directly linked to them.
• UFO Propulsion Theories: In response to a question about the silent operation of UFOs, the magazine discusses theories involving electric fields that ionize air molecules around the craft, creating a smooth transition between the craft's speed and the surrounding atmosphere, thus preventing shockwaves and noise.
• Adamski's 'Collected Works': A reader suggests that SUFOI compile and publish Adamski's complete works, including his photographs. The editor defers this task to Adamski's own organization, IGAP, stating it's a significant undertaking for a single individual.
• The Moon's Temperate Zone: A Swedish reader, Anders Kinnander, proposes a theory that the temperate zone on the Moon, as described by Adamski, might be a belt around the Moon's equator where the atmosphere collects due to Earth's tidal forces. This theory, based on mathematical calculations and observations, is presented as a potential confirmation of Adamski's claims.
• New York as a Destination: A reader suggests a poetic interpretation for a UFO's destination: "Himmelrummet" (The Heavens) for the spacecraft, and "Forteinelse for planeten som de er fra" (A prelude for the planet they are from) for the planet. The editor acknowledges the suggestion but offers no definitive opinion.

Rapportcentralen Meddeler (Report Center Reports)

This section details several recent observations:

• "Meteoret": This was likely the descent of a satellite, and no special report was issued due to anticipated low sales to cover costs.
• January 14th Observation: Near Sdr. Omme, Denmark, at 9:30 PM, three luminous points in a right-angled triangular formation were seen at an estimated height of 600 meters. The objects had a faint, pulsating blue-violet light and moved eastward at a 90-degree angle, with no audible sound.
• Norwegian Observation: An observer in Gressbakken, Øst-Finnmark, Norway, reported a stationary object about 400 meters above the horizon. The object, brighter than Venus, flared up several times before gradually fading out over a twenty-minute period.
• Kregme Observation: Near Frederiksværk, Denmark, an object was observed at about 600 meters altitude. Its color changed from reddish to white and back to red. Its speed was fastest when it appeared white, and it moved in a straight line before suddenly turning and disappearing.
• Other Reported Sightings: The magazine mentions receiving numerous clippings about observations, including a "Mysterious aerial object over Bodø" (March 18th), a "Meteor over Vestfold" (February 26th), a "Phenomenon seen in Gagnef" (March 22nd), "Strange objects observed in the sky" in Tromsø (March 6th), a "Luminous object in Finnmark" (March 12th), "Meteorite over Otta?" (March 23rd), and "Mystery over Copenhagen" (July 17th).
• Satellite Observations: Reports were received about two satellite-like objects moving in parallel at high speed. These were identified as the Russian satellite Proton I and its booster stage.
• Detector Alert: For the first time in 1.5 years, Mr. K. E. Larsen's detector in Ravnkilde, near Arden, Denmark, registered an alert, but no observation was made due to cloudy weather.

Contact Addresses in Denmark

This section provides a comprehensive list of contact persons and addresses for UFO enthusiasts in various regions of Denmark, categorized by Copenhagen and surrounding areas, Zealand and Lolland-Falster, Jutland, and Funen and the Islands. This list is dated August 1, 1965.

UFO Brochure

The new UFO brochure, announced in the previous issue, has been a great success. It has been reprinted twice in its first month. The brochure is described as a concise summary of essential UFO information, suitable for introducing new enthusiasts and serving as a reference for more advanced researchers. It covers topics like post-war saucer stories, public reactions, organizations, astronomical facts, and includes famous UFO photographs. The brochure can be ordered from Per Nørrung.

UFO Meetings in Copenhagen

A series of meetings hosted by H. C. Petersen is announced for the upcoming season in Copenhagen, taking place at the Utterslev church youth hall.

Flying Saucer Seen Over France

This article details an observation made by Alexander Ananoff, a leading French space expert, near Dreux, France. Ananoff described the object as "lens-shaped or disc-shaped" and observed it for approximately 35 minutes, taking photographs. He initially thought it might be a balloon but concluded it was something else due to its movements and internal light. The French meteorological bureau had launched a weather balloon, and the American military base in Dreux reported observing a seven-meter diameter balloon at 10:30 PM. Ananoff reported seeing a single light point moving from south to north for three minutes at 11:35 PM.

Mysterious Object Seen Over Karlstad

Meteorologist Håkan Chöler observed a mysterious object over Karlstad, Sweden, described as a "bluish star." He ruled out it being a satellite or high-altitude aircraft due to its unusual speed and trajectory. The object appeared at 10:25 PM, moved rapidly, and then suddenly changed course. Chöler estimated its speed at 30,000-40,000 km/h. He logged the observation in his weather journal, as meteorologists are not authorized to report such sightings to military authorities. No similar observations were reported by the observatory in Stockholm.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reporting and documentation of UFO/UAP sightings, the promotion of public awareness and engagement with the topic, and the dissemination of information through publications like UFO-NYT and its associated brochure. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of open discussion and increased knowledge regarding UFO phenomena, encouraging reader participation and support for the organization's goals. The inclusion of contact addresses and meeting announcements highlights an effort to build a community of interested individuals.
