UFO Nyt - No 2 mar-apr 1970

Magazine Overview

Title: ufo nyt
Issue: 2
Date: March-April 1970
Publisher: SKANDINAVISK UFO INFORMATION
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of "ufo nyt" (UFO News), published by Skandinavisk UFO Information (SUFOI), presents a mix of organizational updates, debates on the nature of UFO phenomena, and reports of sightings.

Organizational Updates and Farewells

The magazine begins by detailing the new structure of SUFOI, aiming to increase efficiency and improve its activities. It emphasizes that all work is voluntary and highlights the challenges of coordinating efforts due to the geographical spread of its members. The issue also announces the departure of Major Frank Pedersen, a key figure since 1965, who led SUFOI and served as the responsible editor for UFO-NYT. His resignation is due to health reasons, and his significant contributions to the organization and the UFO cause are acknowledged.

Ensio Slej, another long-time employee who led SUFOI's photo department, has also stepped down due to retirement and taking on new travel opportunities. His dedication and positive attitude are praised.

The issue also notes changes in responsibilities, with Egon Jørgensen taking over the expedition duties and Gunnar Weichardt managing the accounts, both of whom are thanked for their efforts.

Editorial Stance and Disclaimer

SUFOI clarifies its position regarding the published articles: "The articles published in 'UFO-NYT' are presented as contributions to the knowledge and understanding of UFO research in its various forms, without SUFOI necessarily endorsing the thoughts expressed herein, and without the organization being liable for the opinions stated." This disclaimer is signed by "Red." (Editor).

Debates on UFO Phenomena

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a debate with Magister Asger Lundbak, who holds a skeptical view on UFOs. The article "Videnskabelig rumforskning kontra UFO'er" (Scientific Space Research vs. UFOs) by F. Pedersen directly challenges Lundbak's assertions. Pedersen argues that Lundbak's claims about ufologists lacking objective assessment are unsubstantiated and that Lundbak has not adequately investigated the available UFO evidence. The article critiques Lundbak's comparison of unidentified phenomena to unsolved crimes, suggesting that it is unfair to assume police corruption when a crime is unsolved.

Pedersen also references Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Professor James E. McDonald, who have questioned the value and methodology of the Condon Report. Hynek is quoted as calling the Condon report an "uninspired work" and suggesting it was undertaken for financial gain. McDonald is cited as calling UFOs "the greatest scientific problem of our time."

Another article, "Så passerede han igen!" (So he passed by again!), also by F. Pedersen, continues the critique of Magister Lundbak's views, referring to his statements as "obligatory anti-saucer pronouncements." The author suggests that Lundbak's knowledge of flying saucers is primarily derived from newspapers and popular magazines rather than direct investigation.

UFO Sightings and Observations

The "OBSERVATIONER" (Observations) section details several UFO sightings, primarily from Nuneaton, United Kingdom.

• Jack Cook reported seeing an oval object, described as a "butter dish," on June 29, 1969, at 23:47. He noted it was flying low, emitted orange flames and white smoke, had a yellowish top and green bottom, and moved faster than a plane. His boss, T. Matthews, vouched for his credibility.
• William Thompson (65, retired) also saw a very bright, oval object with "fantastic speed" around 23:45 on the same night.
• Kenneth Painter and Yvonne Painter also witnessed the object.
• S. Caney reported seeing a similar object around 23:45, moving in a specific direction.

These reports include witness descriptions of the object's shape, color, and behavior, as well as the date and time of the sightings.

Other Content

The issue also includes a section titled "INDEHOLDER bl. andet" (Contents include, among others), listing various articles such as "Til læserne!" (To the readers!), "Et svar!" (An answer!), "Observationer" (Observations), "Ufologi" (Ufology), "Jorden rundt" (Around the World), "Brevkassen" (Letters to the editor), "Videnskab - Rumfart" (Science - Spaceflight), "Retssagen mod Erich von Däniken" (The trial against Erich von Däniken), "Pluk fra pressen" (Gleanings from the press), "Diverse" (Miscellaneous), and "Boganmeldelse" (Book Review).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the scientific investigation of UFO phenomena, the challenges faced by ufologists, and the skepticism encountered from the scientific community. The magazine champions the cause of UFO research, providing a platform for detailed sighting reports and critical analysis of skeptical viewpoints. SUFOI positions itself as an organization dedicated to understanding UFOs, while acknowledging that it does not necessarily endorse every opinion expressed within its pages. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and a defense of the serious study of UFOs against what it perceives as dismissive or unscientific opposition.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 59
Volume: 1
Date: July-August 1969
Publisher: UFO-NYT
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO-NYT delves into numerous UFO reports from various locations, featuring detailed witness accounts, investigations, and discussions on potential implications.

Key Articles and Reports

"En vovehals afgiver UFO-rapport" (A Daredevil Files a UFO Report)

This section details a report from Mr. Cook, who described a UFO descending rapidly over a factory. He estimated its speed at 650-800 km/h and noted its yellow-orange color with glowing green underneath, dark vertical lines that lit up like windows, and orange flames with white smoke emitting a loud hissing sound. He drew the object on a matchbox, but his colleagues did not believe him. A Mrs. Davis from Bedworth later reported seeing a similar object.

John Fairfax's UFO Sighting

John Fairfax, a British sailor who crossed the Atlantic, reported seeing two strange star-like objects during his journey. His report, written on July 20, 1969, described two bright lights about 20 degrees above the horizon, which increased in brightness to that of Venus. They ascended to the position of Jupiter, then separated, with one flying low and the other high. Fairfax was certain they were not stars and felt as if he were in a trance during the observation, with his cigarette burning down to ash unnoticed. He also felt as if something was asking him if he wanted to leave, to which he replied "no."

"Flere detaljer om Filippinerobservationerne" (More Details on Philippine Observations)

This report, compiled by APRO representative Oberst Aderito de Leon, details observations made near a satellite station in the Philippines in 1968. The first observation involved a farmer who saw an object descend with a whistling sound. He described it as a white "fatøj" (craft) the size of a Volkswagen, with small wheels and six exhaust pipes. Two occupants, described as "ordinary Caucasians" wearing white overalls and earphones, were visible through a transparent covering. The object emitted a loud "roar" as it moved horizontally on the ground before taking off vertically with little noise. Subsequent observations included a similar white "wagon" with two occupants and a high "roar" when taking off. The report notes similarities to the Lonnie Zamora case in Socorro, New Mexico.

Anolaima, Colombia UFO Incident

This extensive report details a UFO observation that began on July 4, 1969, near Anolaima, Colombia, involving 11 witnesses, including children and adults. The initial sighting was of a yellow-red light that stopped near a farm. Mauricio Gnecco, 13, used a flashlight to signal the object, which then approached and hovered. Witnesses described it as 1.2 to 1.8 meters high, yellow-orange, with a "bow of light" and "legs" of blue with green ends, and it was silent. Arcesio Bermudez approached the landed object, described it as "normal" from the waist up and "A"-shaped and luminous from the waist down, and claimed to see a "person" inside. The object then ascended and disappeared. A second, similar object was seen later. Arcesio Bermudez became seriously ill a few days later, experiencing vomiting and bloody diarrhea, and died on July 12. Medical reports suggested intestinal catarrh as the cause of death, but the possibility of radiation exposure was considered. APRO investigated the case and found no physical evidence of the UFO's presence.

"UFO vender tilbage til farm i Columbia" (UFO Returns to Farm in Colombia)

This follow-up report details further UFO observations at the same farm in Anolaima, Colombia. On August 15, 1969, a "red sphere" was seen twice, flying at an estimated altitude of 900 meters. On August 16, a UFO, possibly the same from July 4, was observed by members of the Bermudez family, causing Mrs. Lucrecia Bermudez to have a "nervous episode." The object was surrounded by a yellow glow and approached the farmhouse at low altitude before disappearing into the trees. Earlier, on August 2, a "clear, yellow object" shaped like a barrel was observed flying at about 75 meters altitude. APRO members attempted to photograph the phenomena but were unsuccessful. Further hypnosis sessions were conducted with the children, confirming details of the July 4 observation.

"Elektro-magnetiske virkninger i Vermont-observation?" (Electro-magnetic Effects in Vermont Observation?)

This report describes an observation on July 17, 1969, in Vermont, USA, by Mr. X and Miss Y. They observed a bright light, described as triangular and about 6x6 meters in size. Mr. X felt a sensation of being pulled out of the car and lost consciousness briefly. Miss Y remained aware throughout and noticed Mr. X reacting strongly. Mr. X contacted the police, who referred him to the state police and then to APRO investigator Walter P. Hicken.

USA: "Område i Allamakee brugt om 'landingsbane'?" (Area in Allamakee Used as a 'Landing Strip'?)

This section reports on UFO observations in the Allamakee district of Iowa, USA, starting in the spring of 1969. The family who owned the farm reported multiple sightings and found landing marks, described as about 3.6 meters in diameter, with triangular "leg" marks. The objects were described as silver and dark red, and silent. One sighting involved a UFO hovering near power lines. Another involved an object landing and taking off.

"Mystisk 'rumskib' over Fiji-øerne" (Mysterious 'Spaceship' Over Fiji Islands)

This brief report describes a sighting of a "burning object" over Fiji, described by a Royal Navy officer as a "classic example of a Hollywood spaceship." It had a green-white light and a long, burning orange tail. Local police and civilians also witnessed the phenomenon.

Kanada: "UFO'er bruger farm som landingsplads" (UFOs Use Farm as Landing Strip)

A farmer in Quebec, Canada, reported that strange flying machines had been using his field as a landing strip. He observed four objects, about 9 meters in diameter and 5 meters high, emitting intense light. The ground was scorched in four 8.2-meter diameter circles, with indentations suggesting landing legs. The grass and two small trees were also burned.

Finland: "Snelanding" (Snow Landing)

In Nivala, Finland, on November 14, 1968, a 16-year-old girl saw a bright "star" descend rapidly. The round object, described as clear white with a pulsating red center, landed about 320 meters away. While it rested on the ground, the object glowed brighter before ascending and disappearing. A round, superficial mark was found at the landing site, and village lights went out and a fuse blew in the transformer.

Tasmanien: "Brændt mærke røber besøg af diskos" (Burnt Mark Reveals Disk Visit)

On May 22, 1969, a resident of Moonah, Tasmania, saw a large, massive, white, luminous, circular object with windows around the center hovering a few feet above the ground. The object ascended rapidly and disappeared. A burnt mark, approximately 5.5x3.5 meters, was found on the ground.

Chile: "Bil flyttet på mystisk vis af ??" (Car Mysteriously Moved By ??)

In Chile, on February 9, 1969, two car engines were heard running, and the cars were found to have been mysteriously moved about 170 feet without explanation.

Commentary and Analysis

Kurt Sørensen's Commentary

Sørensen suggests that the question of the Moon's atmosphere, as discussed in relation to George Adamski's claims, is a matter of gravity rather than magnetic field strength.

Ole Henningsen's Commentary

Henningsen discusses the burden of proof for extraordinary claims, referencing Stanley Kubrick's statements about a government committee investigating UFOs. He expresses skepticism about a "grand conspiracy" involving USAF or NASA withholding significant UFO information.

Ole Henningsen's "Hvad er det...?" (What is it...?)

This section debunks a photograph of a UFO published in UFO-NYT, identifying it as a likely "forgery" of an AVRO model, a "one-man saucer" built by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army that never went into mass production.

Dr. D. Herbison Evans on UFO Investigation

An astronomer from Sydney, Dr. D. Herbison Evans, suggests that Australia should invest $200,000 in investigating unidentified objects. He analyzed a 966-page report from the University of Colorado and concluded that the report could not explain at least two UFO observations: a disk-shaped object photographed in Oregon and a brilliant, colored object chased by an RAF pilot.

Dr. Herbison Evans on Scientific Investigation

Dr. Herbison Evans proposes using cameras to photograph the sky every 30 seconds, day and night, to investigate UFOs. He believes that if UFOs are proven to exist, it would fundamentally change human life, religion, and philosophy.

Commentary on Vermont Observation

This commentary notes the similarity between the Vermont observation and a report from Natal/Texas mentioned in a previous issue of UFO-NYT.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-NYT include detailed eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings, landings, and close encounters from around the globe. The magazine consistently presents these reports with a degree of seriousness, often citing investigations by organizations like APRO. There is a notable focus on physical evidence, such as landing marks and scorched ground, as well as discussions of potential physiological and psychological effects on witnesses, as seen in the Arcesio Bermudez case. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting various cases for the reader's consideration while also including skeptical commentary and analysis to debunk hoaxes or provide alternative explanations where possible. The magazine aims to document and disseminate information about UFOs, encouraging further investigation and discussion.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 69
Volume: 1969
Date: October 1969

This issue of UFO-NYT, published in Danish, focuses on a variety of UFO and UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) reports from around the world, alongside discussions on scientific concepts and a legal case involving a prominent author.

International UFO Reports

Australia

An article from the Brisbane Sunday Mail details an incident on July 25, 1969, near Baralaba, where a baker named Adrian Reimer reported seeing a "shield-shaped" object with a mast and portholes. The object emitted a strange humming sound and flashing lights, moving erratically between the ground and higher altitudes. Reimer's parents and a Mr. John Major also observed the objects through binoculars for over two hours, with one appearing to be a mothership emitting a yellow light.

Another report from Australia mentions a RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) Canberra bomber chasing a mysterious, flying object over Darling Downs on August 31, 1969. The object, described as a zeppelin-shaped aluminum craft, hovered low over populated areas but could not be intercepted.

USA

In Lakeland, Florida, in October 1968, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. MsMullen, Miss Sharon Burgess, and two students observed a disk-shaped object, approximately 4 meters in diameter, hovering 2.1 meters above a palm tree. Two occupants in white suits were seen inside a transparent dome. The witnesses reported disturbances in sound and picture on their televisions and a smell like ammonia. The McMullens' dog reacted with panic, and the local police were called but found nothing upon arrival.

Another US report from July 13, 1969, in Garrison, Iowa, describes two girls, Pat Barr and Kathy Mahr, observing a strange object hovering over a large cornfield. The object, described as having a matte metallic surface with two rows of lights, resembled two "coffee-saucers" joined rim-to-rim and rotated. After disappearing at high speed, it left a nearly circular, scorched patch of ground in the cornfield.

England

A report from the Daily Telegraph on August 30, 1969, details a woman's claim of witnessing a UFO landing on a military training ground near Tyneham, Dorset, on August 29. The object left a pattern of 7.3-meter diameter circular holes with indentations. The Dorset police had previously investigated a similar pattern elsewhere and dismissed it as a prank. The witness described the object as elliptical and glowing, with a three-part landing gear, and observed it for about half an hour before it ascended rapidly.

Wales

An article from The Times on August 7, 1969, reports an unidentified object seen glowing in the air over Carmarthen by a farmer, John Moffat-Bailey, and at least two police officers. Moffat-Bailey, a former RAF radar technician, described a bright, spherical object with a landing gear, hovering between 1500 and 6000 meters. He heard a strange humming and whistling sound. The object was also seen by his wife and other relatives. The RAF and the Ministry of Defence could not provide an explanation.

Mexico

An area researcher, Oscar H. Egly, reported an investigation into a UFO sighting near Tepic, Nayarit province, on July 24, 1969. Witnesses Fernando Flores Garcia and Jesus de la Rosa (Jr.) observed a "metallic, round object" described as a "saucer" moving slowly at 16-20 km/h. The object ascended, then descended with a pendulum-like motion before disappearing behind a ridge. The area where it was seen was described as having a sound like a "well-oiled truck engine." The incident stimulated further interest in UFOs in the Tepic area. Another report mentions a silver, disk-shaped object observed by a group of wild olive pickers, hovering near trees and emitting a low humming sound.

New Zealand

An article from The Evening Post on September 23, 1969, reports that pilots and radar in Wellington detected an unidentified flying object. The object was tracked for 100 miles and observed as a fluorescent, pulsating blue light by two SAFE pilots. The object's speed was estimated at 50-60 knots, but relative to the wind, its speed was only about 25 knots. The pilots noted that helicopters do not emit blue lights. The object was later tracked near Cape Campbell lighthouse. The report also mentions a discussion about the possibility of it being a UFO.

Another US report from Mobile, Alabama, details two college students observing a landed UFO on October 28, 1969. The object was circular, 10-15 meters in diameter and about 4.5 meters high, with a white pulsating light on top and red lights around the middle. It took off rapidly after a short observation period.

Scientific and Theoretical Discussions

Gravity and Space Exploration

An article titled "First Steps Towards Controlling Gravity?" by George Leech discusses a report suggesting that gravity might be transmitted by waves. The article explores the implications of controlling gravity for space travel, noting that it is much easier to escape the Moon's gravity than Earth's due to their differing masses. It draws parallels to the concentration of energy in laser beams and speculates about the possibility of "super gravity" and ancient civilizations potentially having overcome gravity. The author suggests that the increasing number of UFO reports might indicate that gravity control has already been achieved on other planets. The article also touches upon the potential of gravity control as a weapon.

Physics and Time Travel

A letter from Bent Petersen in Helsingør discusses a scientific article by Robert Cowan suggesting that particles can be accelerated beyond the speed of light, potentially moving "backwards in time." Petersen hypothesizes that this could mean particles might return to their origin point before being sent, leading to a paradox where two identical particles are observed simultaneously. He suggests that UFO phenomena might be "time travel phenomena" and that exceeding the speed of light might relate to time rather than spatial displacement, potentially not violating relativity theory.

Auditory Phenomena and UFOs

In response to a previous article, editor Frank Pedersen addresses the issue of sound and UFOs. He discusses the range of human and animal hearing, noting that animals like dogs can hear higher frequencies than humans. He suggests that UFOs might emit sounds in the ultrasonic range, which could be detected by specialized equipment and converted into audible signals. He proposes the development of "mini radar screens" or "ears" to detect and locate such sounds, potentially aiding UFO investigations.

Legal and Authorial Matters

Erich von Däniken Convicted

An article reports on the trial of author Erich von Däniken in Chur, Switzerland, on February 13, 1970. Von Däniken, author of "Chariots of the Gods?" and "Return to the Stars," was convicted of 30 counts of fraud and deception between 1962 and 1968. He was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison and fined 3,000 Swiss Francs. The article notes his significant debt and his claims that his success as an author should cover his loans. A court-appointed psychiatrist diagnosed him as a psychopath, a diagnosis his defense attorney contested. Von Däniken's theories about ancient astronauts visiting Earth and influencing human culture are mentioned.

Other Sections

Letters to the Editor

A letter from Jan Andersen suggests a location for a UFO observation post near Taastrup, Denmark, describing its advantages for horizon visibility and lack of light pollution. He also shares his positive experience at a UFO camping event.

Another letter from PJMH discusses the possibility that the US might have developed "spy craft" based on UFO principles, kept secret by a small, secure group. PJMH also recommends Erich von Däniken's book "Chariots of the Gods."

Japan's Space Program

A section on "New Space Nation" discusses Japan's efforts in space exploration. It details the launch of their first satellite, LAMBDA 4S-5, in February, which had a limited operational life. The article highlights Japan's growing investment in space research and their ambitious plans for future rocket development, including the MS-4, Q, and N rocket types, comparing their capabilities to American and European rockets.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings and investigations from various countries, the scientific exploration of unexplained phenomena, and the potential for advanced technology, including gravity control and time manipulation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFOs, encouraging reader participation and scientific investigation, while also reporting on legal and factual developments related to the subject. The magazine aims to inform its readers about the latest findings and theories in the field of ufology.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue Date: March 1970
Publisher: SUFOI
Country: Denmark

This issue of UFO-NYT delves into various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, featuring critical commentary, scientific explorations, and organizational updates.

Commentary on Eric von Däniken

The issue includes a critical commentary on an article about Eric von Däniken, who is described as a 'presentation author on the defendant's bench.' The commentator, Ole Henningsen, suggests that the original article unfairly links von Däniken's legal troubles with his theories. He argues that the article misrepresents statements from scientists like Wernher von Braun, who only commented on life in the universe and did not explicitly endorse von Däniken's specific theories about ancient astronauts. The commentary also addresses the accusation that von Däniken's work is based on popular articles and sensationalism, while defending his amateur status and his interest in unexplained historical mysteries.

Another section discusses the legal case against von Däniken, where the prosecution focused on proving that he used lies as a principle. It notes that von Däniken admitted to 'simplifying' difficult truths, particularly concerning personal and professional events, such as the death of his son and a hotel fire. The article suggests that a conviction for falsehood and fraud could cast a shadow over his authorship, which had already faced significant criticism from some quarters, while being accepted by others, particularly in the popular press.

Valdemar Kortas: The Man Who Knew the Moon

A report from Lolland-Falsters Folketidende details the work of Valdemar Kortas, a German amateur who accurately predicted aspects of the Moon's environment before the Apollo missions. Kortas, an engineer by profession and an astrophysicist by hobby, sent his theories to NASA, predicting the absence of water and bacteria on the Moon and estimating the depth of lunar dust. He also theorized about an unknown glassy rock, which astronauts later found. NASA acknowledged his calculations, though he had corresponded with them for over five years. Kortas's theories are based on mathematical and physical calculations and include predictions about lunar minerals. He also proposed that the Moon might be a hollow body and is developing a 'moon helicopter' for further investigation. His interests extend to Mars and Mercury, believing they could be inhabited.

Acoustic Recordings from Antiquity

An article from Berlingske Aftenavis and the journal 'Skalk' explores the fascinating theory that ancient artifacts might preserve sound. Researcher Richard G. Woodbridge has conducted experiments suggesting that sounds made during the creation of pottery or paintings could be imprinted on the materials. For instance, a potter's wheel producing a clapping sound or music played while a canvas was painted could, in theory, be reproduced by scanning the artifact with a pick-up and headphones. This opens up the possibility of 'eavesdropping' on the past, with potential applications for analyzing metalwork, wood, and other materials.

UFO-NYT and Organizational Updates

The magazine announces changes within SUFOI (The Danish Organization for UFO Research). The 'Kontaktudvalg' (Contact Committee) is being renamed 'Repræsentantskab' (Representative Body) and will expand its membership to include regional leaders and representatives from Norway and Sweden. A new 'Forretningsudvalg' (Executive Committee) of seven members will be formed to handle urgent decisions. These changes aim to improve the organization's efficiency and responsiveness, especially as public interest in UFOs grows.

UFO Alarms and Detection Systems

An article details the development and operation of a local UFO alarm system in the Nordsjælland area of Denmark. The system, which evolved from a simple telephone alert to a more sophisticated network involving walkie-talkies, aims to quickly disseminate information about UFO sightings. The author recounts two specific incidents where the alarm system was activated, involving observations of unidentified objects over the Øresund strait. The article also lists the equipment used by the observation teams, including walkie-talkies, binoculars, cameras, and detection devices.

Another section discusses the 'Alfa Detektor,' a device designed to indicate when a UFO is flying overhead. The builder, Jan Steen Sørensen, explains his motivation and the technical challenges involved in creating a temperature-stable detector. The article mentions that a more affordable model is planned, with a price reduction from 800 DKK to 200-300 DKK.

Earth and Jupiter's Radio Signals

A report from Populær Elektronik highlights the discovery by the Explorer 38 satellite that Earth emits low-frequency radio waves, similar to those from Jupiter. Scientists are puzzled by the origin and nature of these signals, which are believed to be related to electromagnetic fields and radiation belts. The satellite, launched in July 1968, is equipped with long antennas to capture these faint signals.

Book Reviews

"Tilbage til Stjernerne" (Back to the Stars) by Desmond Leslie and Erich von Däniken: This book review discusses the authors' search for evidence of ancient flying objects and giants on Earth. It mentions findings like large stone axes from Syria and Morocco, suggesting the existence of giants. The review also touches upon the Nazca lines in Peru and other archaeological mysteries, framing them within the context of theories about extraterrestrial visitors.

• "Kort for hovedet" (Short for the Head) - Various Briefs:
• A brief mention of Duke Ellington's jazz suite, 'The Ballet of the Flying Saucers'.
• A report on the Pulkovo Observatory in Leningrad installing instruments to search for radio messages from extraterrestrial civilizations.
• News about a German TV production by 'BAVARIA' on UFOs, featuring interviews with experts like Professor Hermann Oberth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena, ancient history, and scientific inquiry. There is a clear interest in validating anecdotal evidence and amateur research, while also critically examining sensational claims and legal controversies surrounding figures like Erich von Däniken. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, encouraging readers to share their own observations and theories, and providing a platform for both established and emerging research in the UFO field. The publication also emphasizes the importance of organized efforts, such as SUFOI's alarm systems, in documenting and responding to UFO events.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 89
Date: Undetermined
Publisher: FUFOS
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO-NYT, number 89, features several articles and informational sections relevant to UFO enthusiasts.

"UFO-BILLEDE" fra Langeland

The main article on the cover, "UFO-BILLEDE" fra Langeland (UFO Picture from Langeland), discusses a photograph brought to the "Langelands Avis" newspaper. The text accompanying the picture stated that a young man had submitted it, taken recently, but the film had only just been developed. The amateur photographer is quoted as saying, "Had I known there was such a guy in the box, I would have hurried to develop the film more quickly." He also mentioned hearing a "piften" (whistling) and some strange "klaprelyde" (clattering sounds), but his eyes did not catch what it was. The article then humorously reveals that the entire story was an April Fool's prank.

UFO-MØDER...

This section details the activities of the FREDERIKSBERG UFO STUDIEKREDS (Frederiksberg UFO Study Circle), which is part of FUFOS. They offer study circles on various topics including:

• UFO-arbejdet – NU (UFO work – NOW)

UFO-Camping 1970

Information is provided for UFO-Camping 1970, which will be held at "Kræmmergården" in St. Heddinge from July 18th to 25th. Inquiries and registrations should be directed to Karl Hansen at "Kræmmergården, 4660 St. Heddinge," with the phone number (03) 70 25 51.

Indholdsfortegnelse

The table of contents for UFO-NYT 1969 is announced to be published in the next issue.

UFO-foto afsløret!

This article, accompanied by a photograph, discusses a photo that has appeared in publications like UFO-Orientering (page 48), LOOK, Flying Saucers 1967, and The TRUE Report On Flying Saucers 1967, and is identified as a fake. The photo was taken by Guy B. Marguand, Jr., in Riverside, California, on November 23, 1951. The following year, on March 24, 1952, he was interviewed by the U.S. Air Force and admitted that the entire event was a hoax. He stated it started as a joke, but when the press picked up the story, it escalated. He now regrets it for the sake of the UFO cause, but the object in the photo is identified as a wheel cover from a 1937 Ford. The article concludes by emphasizing that one should not blindly trust photographs as evidence, especially without thorough investigations of the negative material, the location of the shot, and other factors.
