UFO Nyt - No 5 sept-okt 1972

Magazine Overview

Title: ufo nyt
Issue: 5
Volume: 14
Date: September-October 1972
Publisher: SKANDINAVISK UFO INFORMATION
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of "ufo nyt" (UFO News), published by Skandinavisk UFO Information (SUFOI), focuses on key figures and events in the UFO field during the early 1970s.

SUFOI and its Organization

The magazine begins by detailing the structure and purpose of SUFOI, a self-governing institution aiming to disseminate knowledge about UFOs through publications and lectures. It outlines the roles of the Executive Committee (Forretningsudvalget) and the Representative Council (Repræsentantskabet), listing key personnel and their contact information. The publication emphasizes that articles published in "UFO-NYT" represent contributions to the understanding of UFO research and do not necessarily reflect SUFOI's official stance or endorse the opinions expressed.

Dr. J. Allen Hynek - A Portrait

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to a profile of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer and former consultant for the U.S. Air Force's UFO investigations. The article, written by Frank Pedersen, aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of Hynek's role, suggesting that his early involvement was often misrepresented. Pedersen notes that Hynek, as head of the astronomical department at Northwestern University, was initially linked to ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center) around 1948. His early work involved filtering out information related to celestial bodies. The article touches upon Hynek's association with "Project Sign" and the USAF's tendency to downplay UFO phenomena, citing his "swamp gas theory" and "corona phenomenon" hypothesis. Pedersen argues that Hynek's reports to ATIC and later to Project Blue Book were not as negative as often portrayed, and that press releases sometimes distorted his findings. The author suggests that Hynek's continued consultancy was partly due to his university's proximity to ATIC and his desire to influence the investigation positively. The article highlights Hynek's later, more critical stance, particularly his participation in discussions with Professor James E. McDonald regarding the Condon Committee's work. Hynek is quoted advocating for high-level scientific study of the phenomenon under the auspices of the "United Nations." The piece also references Hynek's 1963 statement in "YALE Scientific Magazine" where he noted the high intelligence level of UFO witnesses and their general reliability.

Däniken in Denmark

This section reports on the visit of Erich von Däniken to Denmark in September 1972. A press conference was held at Hotel Richmond in Copenhagen, attended by representatives from Danish newspapers, a Swedish newspaper, Ritzaus Bureau, and Danmarks Radio. Von Däniken, author of books like "Chariots of the Gods?" and "Back to the Stars," discussed his views on UFOs. He stated that the existence of these phenomena was undeniable given the extensive report material. However, he did not believe UFOs were necessarily alien spacecraft, suggesting they might be unknown physical phenomena or, in a new theory, time machines capable of traveling into our present. He also questioned why, if they were alien visitors, they hadn't made direct contact with Earth's population. The article mentions a drawing from Fergana, Uzbekistan, shown in one of von Däniken's films, which depicted a being with a spacecraft, bearing a resemblance to modern UFO photos. The article notes that von Däniken was negotiating with a German film company for a new film about "sensational tunnels in Ecuador."

Investigation of a Suspected UFO Photo

This article examines a 3D photograph of a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, USA, taken in 1958. Dr. J. Allen Hynek, in a 1968 article in "Popular Photography," advised caution when photographing UFOs and mentioned his own 3D camera. The "UFO-NYT" article focuses on a specific 3D photo, described as a "Launch of a Space Rocket" from Sawyer's Inc. The photo, part of a "View-master" reel (nr. B 6551), shows a rocket launch with a distinct dark marking in the upper right corner, and other less prominent dark shapes. The magazine contacted APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organization), a US UFO organization, which did not initially recognize the photo but expressed interest. The article details the investigation by Ensio Slej of SUFOI's photo department, who advised caution due to the photo being a copy. He noted that if the marking was present in the original, it could be a UFO, but ruled out water droplets. The investigation was also extended to Dr. Hynek, who stated that the photo did not constitute "positive proof" of the UFO phenomenon and suggested it be sent to APRO for further assessment. Roy B. Frieden, an optics consultant for APRO, reviewed the materials and concurred with Hynek's assessment, noting that other markings on the photo resembled "saucers" in their appearance but not their form. Frieden concluded there was little basis for further extensive efforts to analyze the image. The article concludes by inviting reader comments and suggestions for further investigation.

My Carousel Ride with the UFO Phenomenon

Written by Karl Hansen, this article reflects on the author's personal journey into ufology. Hansen recounts his initial interest sparked by a magazine article about "Flying Saucers from Outer Space" and the emergence of two Danish UFO organizations: DISC (Dansk Interplanetarisk Selskab for Contact) and SUFOI (Sydjysk UFO Investigation). He describes the initial collaboration between DISC and SUFOI, led by C. W. Kiørboe and Captain Lieutenant H. C. Petersen respectively, which later dissolved due to rivalry. Hansen characterizes the two organizations' approaches as the "Pyramid Idea" (military structure) and the "Freedom Idea" (more open structure), reflecting the differing leadership styles and organizational philosophies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently emphasizes a scientific approach to UFO phenomena, even while acknowledging the public's fascination. The profile of Dr. J. Allen Hynek highlights the importance of rigorous scientific investigation and the challenges faced by researchers in a field often subject to skepticism and misinterpretation. The coverage of Erich von Däniken presents his theories but also implicitly contrasts them with more conventional scientific inquiry. The analysis of the 3D photo demonstrates a methodical approach to evidence, involving expert opinions and a call for reader participation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, encouraging detailed reporting and analysis of UFO-related information, while maintaining a critical perspective and avoiding unsubstantiated claims. The magazine serves as a platform for disseminating information and fostering discussion within the Scandinavian UFO community.

This issue of UFO-NYT, spanning issues 177-186 and covering material from approximately 1970-1972, focuses on pilot sightings of UFOs and the broader landscape of UFO research and organizations in Denmark and internationally. The cover story highlights a New Zealand case where pilots observed a UFO that was also confirmed by radar.

UFO Organizations and Research Approaches

The issue begins with a reflection on the early days of UFO research in Denmark, detailing the roles and methods of organizations like 'Frihedsidéen' and 'Pyramiden'. The author, who was a group leader, describes the process of collecting UFO reports and the challenges faced, including the need for standardized reporting procedures and the difficulty in securing funding. The author criticizes the tendency for UFO groups to become cult-like, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and avoiding ensnaring oneself in a single narrative of 'truth'.

Several organizations are discussed, including INTERNATIONAL GET ACQUAINTED PROGRAM (I.G.A.P.), which was linked to George Adamski's accounts and predicted a global change in 1972. The author notes the emergence of FREDERIKSBERG UFO STUDIEKREDS (FUFOS) as a potential successor to earlier groups and praises the establishment of DUFOC as a central archive for UFO material.

The article touches upon the 'UNIVERSAL LINK' (UL-sagen) case, which focused on the theme of 'End of the World on Christmas Eve 1967', and how it impacted public perception and the subsequent stance of organizations.

Key UFO Cases

New Zealand Sighting (September 4, 1969)

This case involves Captain R. Cullum and First Pilot Faircloth of a Bristol transport plane flying from Wellington to Blenheim, New Zealand. During their flight, Wellington radar detected an unknown object. The pilots also visually observed a shining, pulsating blue light. The object was tracked by radar, and its speed was estimated to be slow, approximately 50-60 knots relative to the ground, considering the wind. The object maintained a southerly course and later reappeared as a cluster of lights near Cape Campbell. The Royal New Zealand Air Force reportedly showed interest in the radar-confirmed observation.

Chilean Sighting (December 28, 1971)

This incident involved the crew of a LAN-Chile Boeing 727, flight number 892, flying between Punta Arenas and Santiago, Chile. The crew reported seeing multiple lights at 9,000 meters altitude. Air traffic control at Puerto Montt confirmed no other aircraft in the area. The objects were described as aircraft-like, flying in formation, and exhibiting unusual speed and maneuverability, some exceeding the speed of sound. The observation lasted for about 30 minutes, with the objects eventually disappearing towards the Andes Mountains. The report includes a transcript of the communication between the aircraft and air traffic control.

Analysis of UFO Phenomena and Public Perception

The author discusses the general lack of public interest in UFOs, attributing it partly to the blurring of lines between the possible and the impossible. The author notes the scientific community's reluctance to engage with UFO phenomena, contrasting it with the active pursuit of extraterrestrial signals by major space-faring nations. A call is made for UFO researchers to maintain a sober, technical facade in their public communications, focusing on the impact of UFOs on technology, research, and history.

The issue also touches upon the shift towards exploring the psychological aspects of UFO phenomena, which some researchers find concerning, fearing a return to the 'cult-like' tendencies seen in the past, particularly in light of the UL-sagen.

Future Directions and Editorial Stance

The author expresses a desire for more systematic UFO research and criticizes articles that fail to cite their sources, hindering proper evaluation. The article suggests that the public's interest in UFOs might grow through historical research, which could gradually familiarize people with the concept of 'flying saucers'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-NYT reflects a critical and analytical approach to UFO phenomena. The editorial stance emphasizes the importance of evidence-based research, critical thinking, and avoiding the pitfalls of cult-like thinking within UFO organizations. There is a clear advocacy for a more scientific and transparent approach to UFO studies, with a focus on providing verifiable data and acknowledging the limitations of current knowledge. The magazine also highlights the need for better coordination among UFO organizations and a more grounded presentation of the subject to the public. The author expresses a personal journey of evolving understanding, moving from a somewhat uncritical acceptance of UFO accounts to a more nuanced and investigative approach.

Title: RAPPORTHJØRNET

Observationer: Flying Saucer Observed Up Close

This article details an encounter by Albert Formiller from Phoenix, Arizona, who observed a flying saucer up close. The object was disc-shaped, silent, and hovered over the water. It emitted a searchlight that illuminated a large area of the water. The object then moved away, enveloped in a cloud.

Radar Observations of UFOs

This section presents several radar-based UFO observations:

• August 13, 1956 (Lakenheath, England): A complex series of radar observations involving multiple UFOs. One object was tracked at speeds between 6,400 and 17,300 km/h. Later, a group of 12-15 UFOs were observed moving at speeds between 130 and 200 km/h. A RAF "Vemon" jet was scrambled to investigate, with the pilot reporting it as the clearest radar target he had ever seen. The UFO demonstrated superior maneuverability, evading the jet.
• October 1957 (Hokkaido, Japan): An unidentified object was detected on radar and visually confirmed by Air Force personnel. Three jet fighters were scrambled, but the object ascended vertically at high speed, evading identification.
• November 5, 1970 (Phoenix, Arizona, USA): Albert Formiller observed a round, silent, disc-shaped UFO hovering over the water. A searchlight was emitted from the craft, illuminating a large area. The object then moved away, creating a green glow.
• November 6, 1970 (Phoenix, Arizona, USA): Formiller inquired with local fishermen about the strange light, and a security guard confirmed seeing a similar object moving west.
• 1951 (Great Falls, Montana, USA): An UFO was observed moving at over 6,000 km/h horizontally. The report was handled by a radar operator with Top Secret clearance.
• Calgary, Canada - USA: Canadian radar detected three UFOs heading towards the USA. A USAF jet fighter was dispatched, but both the pilot and the aircraft disappeared without a trace.
• Washington, USA: A radar-visual observation of a UFO that changed color from red to blue at intervals, breaking radar lock but remaining visible.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the variety of UFO shapes, sizes, and behaviors reported, the high speeds at which some objects travel, and the challenges in explaining these phenomena with conventional knowledge. The magazine emphasizes the importance of radar in detecting and tracking UFOs, often in conjunction with visual sightings. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into UFO reports, presenting detailed accounts and encouraging further study, as indicated by the inclusion of reports from official bodies like the USAF and the mention of the AIAA's UFO investigation committee.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 197
Date: October 1971

This issue of UFO-NYT delves into a variety of topics, ranging from UFO sightings and scientific experiments to archaeological theories and space exploration. The magazine features reports from Canada and the USA concerning UFO encounters, discusses the verification of Einstein's theory of relativity through atomic clock experiments, and presents new findings about Mars. It also extensively covers the activities and lectures of author Erich von Däniken.

UFO Sightings and Reports

UFOnaut-rapport from Canada

The issue begins with a report from Brian C. Cannon detailing several UFO sightings in the Cowichan Valley, Canada. The most notable is from Mrs. Doreen Kendall, a nurse, who reported seeing a luminous, round object approximately 15 meters in diameter hovering only 10 meters away from her at the Cowichan District Hospital. Inside a brightly lit dome on the object, she observed two beings described as man-like. The report notes that this sighting occurred on a Sunday and that Mrs. Kendall has been traveling to Duncan for work for the past nine years.

UFO Incident in Northwest USA

Another significant report comes from a former radar operator in Northwest USA concerning an F-106 supersonic fighter jet dispatched to pursue a UFO detected on radar. The UFO was observed moving at high speed at an altitude of approximately 4,500 meters. The F-106 pursued the object, which navigated through canyons and valleys at incredible speed. The report states that the UFO avoided a collision by ascending vertically, climbing over 30 kilometers before disappearing from radar range. Tragically, the fighter jet crashed into a cliff during the pursuit. The report mentions that such incidents typically involve automatic cameras on the fighter jets, but questions arise about the fate of the film from these cameras. It also highlights the secrecy surrounding these events, with no press releases issued, and questions why such data would be classified if UFOs pose no threat to US security, as claimed by the Air Force.

Scientific Experiments and Theories

Testing Einstein's Relativity Theory

The magazine features an in-depth article on NASA's 'Gravitational Redshift Space Probe Experiment,' aimed at verifying the equivalence principle of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The experiment involves sending a highly accurate atomic clock on a 32-hour elliptical orbit over the Atlantic. This clock will be compared to a similar clock stationed on Bermuda. The experiment is expected to demonstrate time dilation effects predicted by relativity, where clocks in different gravitational fields or moving at different speeds will measure time differently. The article explains the concept of gravitational redshift and blueshift, and how the experiment will measure the frequency changes of the atomic clocks. The MASER clocks developed by the Smithsonian Institution are noted for their extreme stability. The experiment is scheduled for launch in late 1974 using a Scout-D rocket. Leading researchers include Dr. Robert F. C. Vessot and Dr. Martin W. Levine, with John Stone and Richard F. Jendrock managing the experiment and its trials.

Atomic Clocks Confirm Relativity

A separate report details an experiment where cesium standard atomic clocks were flown around the world on commercial flights (TWA and PAA). The results of this experiment, led by the US Naval Observatory's Time Service Division, provide further confirmation of Einstein's theory of relativity. The eastbound journey showed a time loss of 59 nanoseconds (± 10 ns), while the westbound journey indicated a time gain of 273 nanoseconds (± 7 ns). These findings, first revealed by Richard E. Keating and J. C. Hafele, suggest that moving clocks do indeed show different times compared to stationary ones, supporting the theory of time dilation.

Space Exploration: Mars

Signs of Rain on Mars

Dr. Harold Masursky of the U.S. Geological Survey presented new findings from the Mariner 9 mission at the 24th International Geological Congress. While previous images showed signs of past liquid water, the latest images suggest evidence of rain. Large, winding channels observed after dust storms were initially thought to be from meltwater, but enhanced images of a crater area reveal a network pattern consistent with rain. Masursky suggests that Mars may have experienced episodic rainfall periods, possibly occurring every 100 million years, similar to Earth's ice ages. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is generally too low for liquid water, but melting polar ice and permafrost could potentially increase pressure sufficiently for liquid water to exist periodically. The presence of low-lying clouds in volcanic craters, detected by infrared radiometry, is also discussed, with speculation as to whether they are due to convection or volcanic outgassing.

Archaeology and Ancient Civilizations

Erich von Däniken's Lectures and Research

The issue extensively covers the visits and lectures of Swiss author Erich von Däniken in Denmark. Organized by SUFOI in collaboration with Strubes Forlag and Psykisk Selskab, his lectures in Copenhagen and Fredericia were well-attended. Von Däniken presented his theories on ancient astronauts and extraterrestrial influence on early human civilizations, supported by slides and his research. The report highlights his investigation into vast cave systems discovered in Ecuador, which he believes contain artifacts from an advanced ancient civilization. Von Däniken's personal journey to Ecuador to investigate these findings is detailed, emphasizing his proactive approach to research. The article contrasts his well-supported theories with those of Danish amateur researcher Frede Melhede-gård, suggesting that Melhede-gård needs to provide more evidence for his claims.

Film Screenings and Book Sales

A schedule of upcoming screenings for the Erich von Däniken film "Fortids Gåder – Fremtids Virkelighed" (Riddles of the Past – Reality of the Future) is provided, listing various cinemas and dates throughout Denmark. The article also notes the significant international success of von Däniken's books, with over 5.4 million copies sold worldwide. The SUFOI's events related to von Däniken were financially successful, leading to plans for similar future arrangements.

SUFOI Activities and Announcements

Membership Information and Events

The "Medlemsorientering" section provides updates on SUFOI's activities. This includes information about the Erich von Däniken lectures, the representative council meeting, and the launch of a new traveling exhibition on the UFO phenomenon. The exhibition, consisting of 10 panels with text, illustrations, and photos, aims to present SUFOI's perspective on UFOs.

Advertising and Publications

Information is given regarding advertising opportunities in UFO-NYT, with a note that all advertisements are accepted regardless of their affiliation with serious UFO research. The magazine also announces a new print run of their book "UFOs i Fokus" and offers it to readers at a special price. Details are provided for ordering the book and for obtaining free brochures from SUFOI.

UFO Discussion Groups and Lectures

SUFOI encourages the formation and continuation of UFO discussion groups across the country, offering to publicize them in UFO-NYT. A specific UFO group in Virum near Copenhagen, the Virum UFO-KREDS, is highlighted as being active for three years with about 15 members, welcoming new participants. Information is also provided on how to book SUFOI lecturers for events, with details on the length of lectures and arrangements for honoraria. The magazine also announces a change of address for SUFOI's Expedition.

Technical Developments

RAM: Radar-Absorbent Material

A report introduces RAM (Radar-Absorbent Material), a new substance developed by the US Air Force that can be integrated into structural components. RAM significantly reduces the radar detectability of aircraft and rockets. The material has undergone extensive testing for heat resistance and durability. It is manufactured by North American Rockwell. The article notes that the exact radar absorption percentage and frequency range of RAM are not disclosed by the military.

Book Reviews

New Book by Donald E. Keyhoe

This section reviews a new book by Donald E. Keyhoe, a prominent figure in UFO research and former Major in the U.S. Marine Corps. Keyhoe, who has been active in UFO investigations for years, is reportedly working on his fifth book. The review lists his previous works, including "The Flying Saucers Are Real" and "Flying Saucers: Top Secret."

"De Kom Fra Rummet" by Karl V. Kohlenberg

Karl V. Kohlenberg reviews the first volume of a series titled "De Kom Fra Rummet" (They Came From Space) by a German freelance writer who has studied ethnology and ethnography. The reviewer initially suspected the book might be a sensationalist attempt to capitalize on the popularity of authors like Erich von Däniken but revised this opinion after reading it, finding it to be a potentially valuable work.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-NYT include the persistent mystery of UFO sightings and encounters, the scientific investigation of phenomena through experiments and data analysis, and the exploration of ancient mysteries and potential extraterrestrial influences on human history. The magazine appears to maintain an open yet critical stance, presenting reports of sightings and scientific findings while also questioning secrecy and encouraging further research. There is a clear emphasis on providing information to SUFOI members and fostering discussion within the UFO community.

This issue of UFO-NYT, identified as number 207, features a review of a book by Kohlenberg, a detailed account of a UFO sighting at a Canadian hospital, and a report of UFOs interrupting a football match in Brazil. The magazine also includes a call for volunteers for UFO investigations and a note regarding meteorite samples.

Book Review: Kohlenberg's Work

Iver O. Kjems reviews a book by Kohlenberg, noting its impressive volume of new information gathered from around the world. While initially critical of the lack of source citations, Kjems discovers that a detailed register will be provided in the third volume. He points out instances where Kohlenberg's interpretations, such as comparing a Sumerian seal cylinder to a modern spacecraft, might be stretching the evidence, attributing it to 'poetic license'. Kjems also questions Kohlenberg's assertion that a reverence for life, like asking a tree for permission before felling it, stems from an ancient, lost knowledge rather than simple observation of life. Despite these reservations, Kjems concludes that the book is rich with information and that most of Kohlenberg's interpretations are as reasonable as conventional ones. He praises the book's illustrations and eagerly awaits the final volumes.

UFO Sighting at a Canadian Hospital

The magazine details an experience of Mrs. Kendall, a nurse at a hospital, who observed a UFO on New Year's morning around 5 AM. She described a glowing, disc-shaped object with a dome, hovering silently outside the children's ward. The object was about 15-20 meters away and 20 meters above the ground. She saw two figures inside the craft, which she described as having 'strikingly beautiful appearances' and wearing tight-fitting uniforms made of soft material. One figure stood before a glowing instrument panel, while the other, positioned lower, was behind. The craft was described as silver and metallic, with a 'chain of lights' around its middle. Mrs. Kendall initially thought it was a helicopter but quickly realized it was not. The second occupant, seemingly aware of being watched, turned towards her. His face was obscured by dark material, similar to his uniform and headwear. He touched the pilot with a human-like, skin-colored hand. The pilot manipulated a control stick, causing the craft to tilt and giving Mrs. Kendall a view into the cockpit. The dome appeared lit from below. Mrs. Kendall exclaimed when the object seemed about to fly away. Mrs. Fred Wilson, also a nurse, and five other employees witnessed the object circling slowly before it disappeared in a northerly direction. The report notes that the story only gained wider attention when a friend of John Magor, the editor of Canadian UFO Report, heard about it.

UFOs Interrupt Football Match in Brazil

A report from Rio de Janeiro describes an incident on Wednesday evening, July 26th, where a football match between Americano and Sapucaia was interrupted by nine flying saucers. Approximately two thousand spectators and the players stopped watching the game to observe the luminous and silent objects with orange reflections moving high in the sky from east to west. One object, larger than the others, appeared to be directing the group's maneuvers.

UFO Investigation and Meteorite Inquiry

In response to a previous inquiry in UFO-NYT nr. 5, 1971, about suspected meteorite stones, Dr. V. F. Buchwald from the Technical University of Denmark has examined the submitted material. He reported that unfortunately, none of the samples were meteorite stones. The magazine thanks readers for their interest and encourages further contact.
