Magazine Overview
Title: UFO NYT
Issue: 6
Date: November-December 1966
Publisher: S. U. F. O. I. SKANDINAVISK UFO INFORMATION
This issue of UFO NYT marks the end of its second year of publication and reflects on its progress and the development of UFO research. The magazine has seen its subscription numbers triple since its inception in 1965, indicating a positive reception and growing interest from its readership.
Editorial Reflections and Future Outlook
The editorial, titled "A Look Back and the Future...", by "Red.", highlights the magazine's growth and its commitment to informing the public about UFO phenomena. The editors express gratitude to their readers and collaborators, wishing them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 1967. They acknowledge the ongoing need for UFO information dissemination, especially given the continued skepticism and lack of official transparency surrounding the topic.
The magazine has also ventured into publishing, releasing "MARSBOGEN" and the brochure "UFO-ORIENTERING", both of which were well-received. A 40-page UFO photo booklet is planned for release in December.
The editorial touches upon the perceived lack of progress in official UFO investigations, particularly in the USA, where a shift from military to university-led studies is noted. However, the editors express skepticism about whether this change will lead to greater transparency, suggesting that the methods of secrecy might simply evolve.
International Cooperation and Information Exchange
UFO NYT emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in UFO research. It calls for strengthening ties with other Nordic countries and exchanging experiences with ufologists worldwide. The magazine notes a positive interest in publishing UFO-related articles in the Norwegian press and an increase in UFO information activities in Norway.
International Air Travel and UFOs
An article titled "Future Planning for International Air Travel" reports on a speech given by Knut Hammerskjøld, Director General of IATA. Hammerskjøld acknowledged the growing interest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) as one of three major events influencing aviation and space travel. He admitted to believing in UFOs and raised two key questions: whether it is improbable that civilizations exist beyond Earth, and if these "space neighbors" are becoming more interested in humanity as its technology advances. Hammerskjøld suggested that the confirmation of extraterrestrial contact could pose significant legal, political, and technical challenges for the future of air transport.
UFO Research in Colorado
The article "Colorado Becomes the Place" details a significant development in UFO research: the US Air Force has commissioned the University of Colorado to conduct a 15-month independent, scientific investigation into UFOs. The project will be led by Dr. Edward U. Cordon and involve over 100 scientists. The US Air Force will provide all its UFO-related information, with exceptions for data that could compromise national security. This civilian-led investigation is seen as a potentially more neutral approach compared to previous military commissions, though skepticism remains about the true intentions behind the initiative.
Mariner IV and Mars Formations
"What Mariner IV Saw..." by Jimmy Goddard explores intriguing patterns observed in the Mariner IV photographs of Mars. While the initial images of Mars' surface appeared barren and moon-like, closer examination revealed a network of formations that bear a striking resemblance to "ley lines" identified by amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins on Earth. These lines, connecting ancient sites, suggest a possible underlying grid or pattern. The article draws parallels between these Martian formations and the concept of "leys" and "orthoteni" (lines of UFO observations) discussed by French acoustician Aimé Michel. The author speculates that these patterns on Mars, particularly around "bavns" (beacons), might indicate signs of habitation or intelligent design, despite the planet's thin atmosphere.
Mars Channels and Imaging Technology
The article "Photographs of Mars Channels" by Gordon H. Evans delves into the long-standing debate about the existence of canals on Mars. It discusses the challenges of photographing these features due to atmospheric conditions and the limitations of conventional photography. The article introduces new technology called "image intensification" or "image orthicon," which greatly enhances the brightness of telescopic images. This technology has reportedly allowed for significantly improved photography of Mars' channels, with results described as up to 1500% better than older methods. The article notes that while such technology has been available since the mid-1950s, the published images in UFO NYT are among the first of their kind to be publicly revealed.
Warminster Events
The article "What Mariner IV Saw..." also briefly mentions strange occurrences in the small village of Warminster, Wiltshire, England. Residents have reported experiencing peculiar sounds and unusual aerial phenomena, including cigar-shaped objects and glowing orbs. The article notes that Warminster is a significant "ley line" nexus, suggesting a possible connection between these events and the Earth's ley line network.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue of UFO NYT strongly emphasizes the ongoing need for UFO research and public information. It highlights the international nature of UFO phenomena and the importance of collaboration between researchers and organizations. The magazine maintains a critical stance towards official government secrecy and expresses a desire for greater transparency. The articles demonstrate a willingness to explore unconventional theories, such as the connection between Martian formations and Earth's ley lines, and the potential for extraterrestrial intelligence. The editorial stance is one of persistent inquiry and a belief in the importance of disseminating information about UFOs, even in the face of skepticism and official obfuscation.
Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 215-223
Date: September 1966
This issue of UFO-NYT, a Danish publication, delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, space exploration, and scientific inquiry, with a particular focus on Mars and potential extraterrestrial life.
The Mystery of Mars' Canals and Mariner IV
The lead article, "UFO-NYT," discusses the controversial Mariner IV images of Mars. It highlights the discrepancy between earlier photographs that suggested a system of canals and the Mariner IV images, which showed none. The authors express skepticism about the official explanations and suggest that the government may have deliberately suppressed information. They present a detailed analysis of a specific Mars photograph, claiming that visible features bear a striking resemblance to the canal system described by earlier researchers like Lowell. The article posits that these features are indicative of a highly advanced technological civilization.
Comparing Mars and the Moon: A Statistical Analysis
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a comparative study by Antonio Ribera and José M. Oliver, titled "Mystikken vedvarer" (The Mystery Persists). They meticulously compare a Mariner IV photograph of Mars (image nr. 11) with a photograph of the lunar crater Clavius. The authors present a detailed analysis, including cartographic methods and a table of comparisons, identifying 36 points of similarity between the Martian surface features and the lunar crater. They employ a statistical calculation, with assistance from Senor Don Felieu Comella of AAS, to determine the probability of these similarities occurring by chance. The result is a probability of approximately 1 in 212,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which they deem to be effectively zero. This leads them to question how astronomers can explain such a profound resemblance, hinting at possibilities beyond mere coincidence, such as deliberate manipulation of data or external intervention.
Scientific Evidence for Life on Mars
Another section, "Er der alligevel liv på Mars?" (Is there still life on Mars?), reports on new findings that provide "new nourishment for the speculations." Dr. Lewis D. Kaplan is cited as stating that French-American studies have detected surprisingly large amounts of hydrogen in Mars' atmosphere using advanced spectroscopic instruments. Hydrogen is essential for life, and while some scientists previously believed Mars' low gravity made it impossible to retain hydrogen, this new finding is significant. The article also mentions the work of Dr. Pierre Connes and Dr. Janine Connes, who found a hydrogen concentration around Mars 1000 times greater than Earth's. Furthermore, the Martian atmosphere is believed to contain methane, a gas often produced by bacteria that do not require oxygen.
UFO Sightings and Theories
Several articles and letters discuss UFO sightings and theories. One reader recounts an experience from around 1935, observing a disc-shaped object hovering and then disappearing at high speed, which they now believe was their first UFO sighting.
"BREVKASSEN Løst og fast om UFO-sagen" (The Mailbox: Loose and Fast on the UFO Matter) features a letter from G. Haubech-Lenssinger, responding to a previous article. The letter defends the magazine's approach and criticizes H. C. Petersen for his public reaction. The writer emphasizes that all research is a search and that the psyche is not easily defined. They also suggest that contact with extraterrestrial beings might be possible if humanity understood that religion is not just belief but practice, and that open-mindedness is crucial.
Another section discusses the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors. It references books like "Intelligent Life in the Universe" by Josef Shklovskij and Carl Sagan, which propose that Earth has been visited by beings from other planets. The article mentions historical accounts of UFO sightings from various cultures, including ancient Egypt and Native American tribes. It speculates that current intense UFO activity might be a response to humanity's nuclear weapons testing, with extraterrestrials potentially trying to protect Earth from self-destruction.
UFOs in Norway
The issue includes a section on "NORGE" (Norway), detailing a discussion meeting organized by Studieselskapet for Norsk Industri about visits from other planets. Engineers Kr. Løken and Gunvald Weie were set to present material and images related to UFO phenomena. The article also mentions that some Norwegian scientists, including astronomers and rocket scientists, are taking the UFO phenomenon seriously. It notes that in the USA, universities are assisting the Air Force in studying flying saucers, and that experts in spaceflight and astronomy are involved in discussions in Norway.
Another article from Norway, "Fremmede vesener kontakter jorda!" (Alien Beings Contact Earth!), features UFO researcher Knut Aasheim, who claims that thousands of reports from various countries suggest Earth is regularly visited by alien spacecraft. He and his wife recount their own sighting of flying saucers over Seattle. The article highlights that a quarter of a million UFO reports have been collected over the last twenty years, and that many scientists are engaged in this research.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the mystery surrounding Mars' canals and the implications of the Mariner IV mission, the scientific investigation into the possibility of extraterrestrial life on Mars, and the reporting and analysis of UFO sightings. The magazine appears to adopt a stance that encourages open-minded scientific inquiry into these phenomena, questioning official narratives and exploring unconventional theories. There is a clear emphasis on the statistical improbability of coincidences in UFO-related observations and a belief that many phenomena are not easily explained by conventional science. The editorial stance seems to be one of promoting awareness and discussion of these topics, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond the mainstream scientific consensus.
This issue of UFO-NYT, spanning pages 225-234, primarily features articles and reports in Norwegian, with a focus on UFO observations and related scientific discussions. The issue is dated to 1966.
Norske betragtninger...
This article by Per A. Oseland discusses UFO phenomena, particularly the electromagnetic effects often reported during sightings, such as car engines stalling and electrical equipment malfunctioning. He notes that detectors based on compass principles have often reacted positively to UFOs. Oseland posits that UFOs possess the ability to counteract gravity without conventional methods, though the mechanism remains unknown. He contrasts speculative explanations with known scientific principles, emphasizing that science must build upon observable phenomena and statistically proven theories. The article acknowledges that while science may not immediately change its view on fundamental forces due to UFO reports, it should not dismiss phenomena that lack immediate explanation, drawing a parallel to ball lightning.
Oseland lists the four fundamental forces recognized by science: strong nuclear, electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and gravitational forces, noting their relative strengths. He suggests that while these forces are distinct, they might be interconnected, referencing Einstein's unified field theory. The article explores the possibility of direct connections between gravity and magnetism, citing experiments conducted in the USA in 1958. These experiments, involving rotating magnets, reportedly showed a slight deviation in gravity, suggesting a potential link that could be useful for future space travel. Similar experiments in Canada involving charged discs also hinted at a connection between gravity and electrostatic fields, demonstrating levitation.
The article further discusses the challenges of developing anti-gravity devices, stating that a new principle in fundamental physics is required, not just an application of known principles. It touches upon the speed of UFOs and the associated high temperatures, suggesting that UFOs might employ a force field to repel air molecules, thus preventing direct contact and heat generation. This concept is likened to how streamlined objects behave in water. The article also mentions that UFOs can alter their force field's size, intensity, and shape to match their speed, especially below the speed of sound. For supersonic speeds, the issue of shock waves is raised, and the potential application of magnetohydrodynamics to overcome these effects is explored.
NASA and USAF are mentioned as working on plans to use powerful magnetic fields for the protection of returning spacecraft, potentially reducing the need for ablative shielding. The article concludes that research in areas like magnetohydrodynamics and gravity is likely advanced but may not be publicly disclosed due to its military value.
UFO'er i FORTIDEN
This section presents a historical drawing and a photograph related to UFOs.
Tegning fra fortiden
The article describes a drawing found in an Icelandic manuscript (nr. 2507 AM 427, dating from 1638) that strikingly resembles an 'Adamski-talerken' (Adamski disc). The drawing is located at the bottom of a page that otherwise discusses psalms and poetry. The author notes that while the drawing is clearly similar to a flying saucer, there is no textual evidence to support this interpretation, and the artist is unknown. The Arnamagnæanske Institute is thanked for permission to publish the image.
Et UFO-foto (?) fra 1914
A female reader submitted a photograph from 1914, found in an old album from Pennsylvania, to the American magazine 'Flying Saucers'. The photograph, described as an old, sepia-toned image, shows an unidentified object. The reader claims the US Air Force had previously seen the photo and denied its significance, stating they had seen it before, which the reader disputes. 'Flying Saucers' magazine's editorial department, including editor Ray Palmer, expressed astonishment at the photo, confirming it was not a double exposure or a print error. Expert Dave Pieper found the image to be a skillful forgery if it was one, but the fact that it was in a 1914 album, predating widespread UFO discussion, made it difficult to dismiss. The article suggests that the Air Force's denial might indicate the photo's authenticity and its potential to reveal secrets. The editors of 'Flying Saucers' appeal to the public for any possible explanations.
Rapport-hjørnet
This section compiles several UFO sighting reports from Scandinavia.
Himmelfænomenet den 15. august
On August 15th at 20:25, a celestial phenomenon was observed over large parts of Denmark and the southern part of Norway. SUFOI received 18 reports of this event, which lasted only a few seconds. The object was described as a strongly luminous, ellipse or drop-shaped object, appearing blue-green or bluish up close, and whitish or neon-colored from a distance. It dissolved into 2-4 smaller objects that formed a line, with the leading object remaining the largest. The object moved almost horizontally, with its lowest point at the end of its trajectory, disappearing behind buildings and trees in the west. Based on the reports, the object's altitude was estimated between 125 and 145 km, and its speed between 65 and 80 km/sec. The conclusion drawn was that it was a large meteor.
In connection with this observation, a peculiar incident is recounted involving the expert observator Axel G. Nielsen of the Ole Rømer Observatory. When asked to analyze the data, Nielsen reacted negatively to the questionnaire, which was based on US Air Force regulations for UFO reporting. He found the details 'horrible' and refused to cooperate, particularly objecting to a question about physical reactions experienced by witnesses (headache, dizziness, etc.). The article suggests that Nielsen's reaction indicates a lack of familiarity with UFO phenomena, as such reactions are often reported by witnesses of flying saucers.
The author expresses disappointment with Nielsen's behavior, especially given the growing interest in UFOs and Norway's own space efforts. The magazine reaffirms its policy of seeking cooperation, even if it means contributing more than receiving, believing that UFO phenomena will have significant future importance.
Nyt fra Project Moonwatch
Project Moonwatch currently has 22,576 observers in 26 countries. As of mid-October, 410 reports had been received, with 344 identified as meteors, 29 as satellite decays, and 10 as unidentified observations. NORAD's space tracking system assists in identifying objects. The project's main objective is to observe satellite decays to study the lower atmosphere and assess aviation risks. Notably, the latest information from Project Moonwatch emphasizes the utmost confidentiality regarding unidentified observations, treating them as highly important for scientists.
Kuppelformet objekt over Bergen
Hjalmar Hjertholm reported seeing an object on April 10th in Alfheim, northwest of Bergen. The object, about 6-8 meters in diameter and nearly flat underneath with a domed top, was observed at an altitude of 60-80 meters. Its top was pink with black stripes, and the underside was yellow-green. It exhibited pendular movements before accelerating rapidly northeast, leaving a tail-like effect. The observation lasted between 20:32 and 20:33. No sound was heard, and the light pulsed. His wife and daughter also witnessed the event.
Mystisk genstand set fra Virklund
An anonymous observer in Virklund reported seeing a strange object on July 28th between 21:30 and 21:32. The object was described as nearly square from above and a long, flat box from the side, matte black in color. It flew towards the observer, passed a window, and then followed a car at a distance of about 40 meters. It would disappear over fields when oncoming cars approached, only to reappear. The total observation time was 2 minutes. The object's size was estimated to be a couple of meters in diameter.
Flyvende cigar opfører seg rart i Østre Aurdal
An article from 'Aftenposten' on August 8th is referenced. Karin Nerbye and Terje Haveråen reported an observation on July 29th around 22:09-22:14 under overcast skies. They saw a cigar-shaped object and a round object side-by-side. The objects were about 150-200 meters away, with the cigar being about 3.5 meters long. They emitted a strong red light, while the round object was lighter. The cigar then split into five nearly round objects that moved up and down, rejoined, and then split into two oval objects that rapidly moved away, turning white. During the observation, there was strong radio noise, and both witnesses experienced headaches afterward.
UFO-et over Tindbæk
Following up on previously mentioned Kodacolor photos from Tindbæk, SUFOI's photo department found faint lights on the film, but they were not reproducible. The observation occurred on August 16th at 01:35 and lasted about a minute. Herr and Fru T. T. Møller observed a pulsating light over a forest. When they drove closer, the object was gone. They then saw three yellow flashes about 300 meters up. The object was described as oval with two round, yellow domes and red light underneath, emitting a humming sound as it moved overhead and disappeared towards the southwest. The observation lasted only one minute. The object was estimated to be 20 meters in diameter and 300 meters away.
Objekt følger bil
On the evening of August 30th, Fru A. J. was driving from Godthåb to Nibe. She observed a nearly oval, dark-colored object in the fog, which began to follow her car at telephonewire height. Despite increasing her speed to 100 km/h, the object kept pace. It would disappear over fields when other cars approached. The object followed her for 12 km to Nibe, maintaining a distance of about 40 meters. Upon reaching Nibe, the object ascended to an estimated height of 250 meters and hovered horizontally before disappearing. The total observation time was 15 minutes.
Aktivitet den 5. oktober
Three reports from October 5th are presented.
Per Damkjær reported seeing a white object over Kolding Fjord with Erik Juhl. They followed it by car, and it was observed flying high, then descending over a field, towards the water, and into a forest. Using a telescope, the object was estimated to be 60 cm in size relative to a car and moving at approximately 35 km/h. The observation lasted 7 minutes.
At 23:40 in Assens, Herr J. Mariager observed a reddish-yellow, blurred object moving at high speed from the north at low altitude. The sighting lasted only a few seconds and repeated itself with the same course and speed.
At 23:44 in Glostrup, Herr Ejvind Brangstrup observed three objects from his balcony. They were described as faintly grayish, luminous discs flying in a triangular formation, appearing semi-transparent and mist-like. They moved silently south towards the star Fomalhaut at high speed, estimated at 300 meters altitude. The observation lasted 20 seconds, with the objects visible from the side for 15 seconds, showing a bright edge and a slightly convex arc. As they moved away, they appeared as three luminous streaks.
Other observations were reported from various locations in Norway and Denmark, including Kragerø, Kristiansund, and Sykkylven, though reports for these were not obtained.
Videnskab og teknik
Supra-ledende plasma
This section introduces two articles by Hans Lauritsen that delve into electro-magnetic fields, a topic that science has only recently begun to systematically investigate. These fields are described as having properties and natures that would have been denied just a few years prior.
The phenomena discussed can be categorized into two types: self-contained energy concentrations that might be mistaken for flying saucers, and phenomena associated with flying saucers whose propulsion systems utilize the energy from these supra-conductive plasma vortices.
Flyvende tallerkener og stabile supra-ledende plasmahvirvler
Recent research in magnetohydrodynamics has revealed numerous new physical phenomena that were not previously predictable. The article suggests that humanity is at the beginning of a development with profound implications for the future of the planet. When plasma is compressed by very strong magnetic fields, it tends to form specific shapes called plasmoids. The shapes of these plasmoids are highly variable and have provided new insights beyond theoretical predictions. A common characteristic of plasmas is their tendency to spontaneously form thin threads, often creating spirals within containers or magnetic flasks where the plasma is accelerated.
When plasma with high electrical potential is compressed by a very strong magnetic field, and a very strong magnetic field is created along the axis of the plasma column, the particles within the plasma move in tight spirals around and along the magnetic field lines. This corkscrew motion is linked to the number of revolutions per second (gyro-frequency) and the spiral's radius (gyro-radius). When magnetic fields are extremely powerful and plasma density is high enough that the number of distant collisions per second exceeds the gyro-frequency, the corkscrew motion is counteracted.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-NYT include the reporting of numerous UFO sightings across Scandinavia, with a particular focus on detailed descriptions of object characteristics, behavior, and perceived speeds and altitudes. The magazine also emphasizes the connection between UFO phenomena and electromagnetic effects, exploring scientific theories that attempt to explain these observations, such as electro-gravitics and plasma physics. There is a clear editorial stance favoring a scientific and objective approach to UFO research, urging readers to focus on factual information and avoid speculative theories. The magazine also highlights the challenges of obtaining official cooperation and the importance of disseminating factual information to the public. The issue implicitly suggests that UFOs represent a significant phenomenon with potential future implications for humanity.
This issue of UFO-NYT, dated October 1966, features a cover story about a car stalling in Fredericia, Denmark, under unexplained circumstances, possibly linked to a UFO sighting. The magazine explores various phenomena related to unidentified flying objects, space, and physics.
Hydromagnetic Phenomena and Superconductors
The issue delves into the concept of hydromagnetic shock waves generated by superconducting plasma vortices. It explains how these vortices, when formed in the Earth's magnetosphere, can lead to phenomena like 'blackouts' by disrupting electrical currents. The article discusses the properties of superconductors, their ability to trap magnetic fields, and their potential role in generating powerful energy.
Cosmic Rays and Their Effects
Another significant section focuses on cosmic rays, describing them as high-energy particles bombarding Earth from space. It highlights the discovery of these rays by V. F. Hess and discusses their origin, potentially from exploding stars or the Big Bang. The protective role of Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere as a 'shock absorber' is emphasized. The article also explores the biological implications of cosmic rays, including their potential to cause mutations and tumors, and mentions studies on plant seeds and animal eggs exposed to radiation.
Energy from Space
The magazine touches upon the possibility of harnessing cosmic energy for technical applications. It mentions Soviet research into converting cosmic energy into usable power for small motors, though details are scarce. The potential for future spacecraft to be powered by cosmic energy collected en route is also suggested.
UFO Sightings and Investigations
Several UFO sightings are reported throughout the issue:
- Fredericia, Denmark (August 14, 1966): A car stalled, and a UFO described as 5-8 meters in diameter and 3-4 meters high was observed. Another car also stopped nearby.
- Ruhrgebiet, Germany (September 21, 1966): A large object, about 70 meters in diameter, was observed for 30 minutes. Witnesses reported a detonation before its appearance. The Bochum Observatory identified it as a high-altitude balloon.
- Haunstrup, Denmark (August 9, 1966): Two men reported seeing a white, luminous object with pillars of red fire beneath it, moving slowly and then ascending eastward.
- Labrador, Canada (June 30, 1952): A BOAC Stratocruiser was reportedly followed by a 'mothership' that emitted smaller objects.
The issue also mentions the OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) programs, which study the Earth's magnetosphere and its interactions with solar particles. It notes that the CIA allegedly ordered the downplaying of UFO reports and hindered investigations.
Scientific Observations and Theories
- Comets: Research on the comet Ikeya-Seki in October 1965 revealed temperatures of 370°C at 72 million km from the sun and 65°C at 32 million km. This suggests comets may be composed of metallic substances rather than just ice and dust.
- The Moon: Observations from the Luna Orbiter suggest the Moon is slightly pear-shaped, with a compression of about 0.8 km at the poles.
- Inverted Universe: Physicist Frank Stannard proposes a theory of an inverted universe where time flows backward, suggesting a symmetry in the universe that is not apparent in our perception of time.
Other Articles and Quotes
- Electromagnetic Space Protection: Soviet researchers are developing an electromagnetic belt to protect future spacecraft from cosmic radiation, replacing heavy metal shielding.
- The Earth's 'Edges': Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have identified four areas where gravity is stronger than expected, suggesting the planet has four 'edges'.
- The issue includes several quotes on various philosophical and observational themes.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-NYT revolve around unexplained aerial phenomena, the scientific exploration of space, and the potential for advanced energy sources. There's a consistent undercurrent of skepticism towards official explanations and a belief that certain information, particularly regarding UFOs and advanced technologies, is being withheld from the public. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging readers to report sightings and questioning the secrecy surrounding UFO investigations.
This issue of UFO-NYT, spanning several articles and dated from 1964 to 1966, presents a collection of intriguing and often perplexing accounts related to UFO sightings, unexplained phenomena, and psychological concepts.
Manglede han kølervæske? (Did he lack coolant?)
This article recounts an event from July 16, 1964, where Mrs. Edmond Travis' two sons, along with friends, reported an encounter with a 'spaceman' in a field near Conklin, N.Y. The boys described the being as child-sized, wearing black clothing and a helmet with a plastic lens over its eyes, and speaking in a strange, 'pipe-like' voice. The 'spaceman' reportedly went to a craft that shone like a car bumper and then disappeared. Later, three indentations were found in the grass where the object was seen.
Satellit - satellit (Satellite - satellite)
An engineer named Elias reported an experience on May 27, 1964, in St. Andrae-Worden. While observing the stars, he noticed a light moving east, which he initially identified as the Echo I satellite. However, he then observed two smaller, illuminated objects circling the satellite like moths around a light. His wife confirmed seeing the 'wandering star' and the circling lights. The article notes that if Echo I is 30 meters in diameter, these objects would be 15-20 meters, a size often associated with UFOs.
ATOMAR.
This section contains a short, poetic piece titled 'ATOMAR' by Tine Munk, reflecting on cosmic themes and the vastness of space.
PÅ TALEFOD... men med hvem? (On speaking terms... but with whom?)
This article discusses an event near Pesadero, USA, where four residents, including Rudolhp W. Huizen, reported seeing a bright, hovering object. Huizen described it as emitting a white light, blinking in response to his flashlight, and then descending. He initially dismissed UFO reports but was convinced by this experience. Vicesheriff William Ganley and George Rist also spoke with the witnesses and were convinced of the seriousness of their accounts. Huizen described the object as appearing like a large crystal and later as football-sized, hovering silently over trees before rapidly ascending.
Männen med blymaskerna? (The men with lead masks?)
This report from Niteroi, Brazil, details the discovery of two electricians, Manuel José Viana and Manuel Pereira da Cruz, found dead on a hill wearing lead masks over their eyes. The police had no leads, and the bodies were in a state of decomposition. The men were identified as friends and electricians. Missing money and speculation about purchasing a car or electronic equipment for experiments were mentioned. The lead masks were described as custom-made, covering the eyes and nose. A notebook found with the bodies contained cryptic chemical and physical formulas. The article also mentions a similar case from 1962 involving another electrician, Hermes, who was found dead with a lead mask and mysterious notes.
TANKEOVERFØRING - hvem sagde svindel? (Tele-transfer - who said fraud?)
This article explores the concept of telepathy and information transfer between humans, citing Russian research. Professor Ippolit Kogan is presented as a proponent of the theory that information can be transferred via long radio waves. Experiments involving brainwave recordings showed that changes in the sender's brain activity were immediately reflected in the receiver's. The article suggests that the human brain is incredibly complex and that bioinformation is a subject of scientific study, not occultism.
Sjælen tager på vandring (The soul goes wandering)
This piece discusses the phenomenon of astral projection, as researched by Dr. E.E. Bernard from North Carolina University. Bernard believes that a person's soul can leave their body and travel vast distances, with the separation lasting from seconds to hours. He states that these are not hallucinations but genuine phenomena. The article includes an anecdote about a man whose soul visited a foreign city, accurately describing details he had never seen. It notes that many who experience this are frightened, fearing they are going mad.
Har USA frigivet et UFO-billede? (Has the USA released a UFO picture?)
This article questions whether a photograph taken during the Gemini 4 mission in 1965 actually depicts a UFO. Astronaut McDivitt reported seeing an object with 'large arms' and a cylindrical shape. While the object was initially unidentified, the article discusses the possibility of it being Pegasus 2, a satellite launched for micrometeorite studies. However, NORAD's tracking system placed Pegasus far from Gemini 4's location. McDivitt later suggested it might have been a rocket stage. The article concludes that the object remains a mystery, but the shape and a small, curved tail seen in the photograph are characteristic of many reported UFOs.
UFO billed-hefte (UFO picture booklet)
This section announces the upcoming release of a 40-page UFO picture booklet, available for 3 Danish Kroner, and provides ordering information.
Der er mere mellem himmel og jord! (There is more between heaven and earth!)
This article describes an observation by Viggo Schwartz, a master of livestock at 'Turebyholm' in Denmark. He reported seeing a dim, mat-finished object, shaped like half a cut wine barrel, hovering about 50 meters above the ground. The object emitted a sharp, blue spotlight that illuminated his house. It then disappeared, seemingly ascending. Schwartz stated he had seen similar phenomena years ago. He was not frightened but felt a strange sensation due to the unusual nature of the blue light.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-NYT revolve around unexplained aerial phenomena, encounters with unknown beings, and the exploration of consciousness beyond the physical body. The magazine appears to present these accounts with a degree of seriousness, encouraging readers to consider the possibility of phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding, while also acknowledging skepticism. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these mysteries, as evidenced by the inclusion of diverse cases and the concluding question about whether astral projection experiences might explain reports of visits to other planets.
