Spøgelsesraketterne: Nedstyrtning ved Kölmjärv (Ghost Rockets: Crash at Kölmjärv)

This extensive article by Anders Liljegren and Clas Svahn revisits one of the most significant cases from the 1946 'ghost rocket' wave. Journalist Clas Svahn re-interviewed witnesses and military personnel involved in the search for a mysterious object that allegedly crashed into Kölmjärv lake in northern Sweden on July 19, 1946. The object was described as a two-meter-long, ash-grey projectile that hit the water, creating a large water column. Despite a thorough military investigation involving divers and specialized equipment, no definitive evidence of the object was found. The article includes witness testimonies, newspaper clippings from the era, and details the challenges faced by the search teams, including the muddy lakebed and potential sabotage by unidentified individuals.

• Key aspects of the Kölmjärv incident covered:
• Witness Accounts: Knut Lindbäck and Beda Persson, working near the lake, observed the object's descent. Frideborg Tagebo, a 14-year-old, reported hearing a terrifying sound.
• Object Description: Described as a two-meter-long, ash-grey projectile with a flattened nose and pointed tail, possibly with small wings.
• Military Investigation: A large-scale search operation was launched by the Swedish military, including engineers and specialists from the Forsvarets Forsknings Institut (FOA). They used sonar and metal detectors but found nothing conclusive.
• Media Coverage: The incident generated significant media attention, with many newspapers reporting on the 'ghost rockets' and the Kölmjärv crash. However, the military urged discretion and asked for the lake's name not to be published.
• Theories: Initial theories suggested the objects were German V-weapons or Soviet tests. Military personnel like Lieutenant Bartoll speculated that the object might have disintegrated upon impact due to its lightweight material.
• Related Incidents: The article also briefly mentions other similar sightings and alleged crashes into lakes in Sweden and Norway during the same period, including the case of Kurt Larsson observing an object hitting Kattistjärn lake and reports from Midt-Norge.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 6/85
Date: June 1985

This issue of UFO-NYT, a Danish publication focused on UFO phenomena, features several in-depth articles covering significant UFO cases, investigative efforts, and related topics.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident

The issue dedicates significant space to the Rendlesham Forest incident of December 1980. It details the challenges faced by investigators, particularly three women, in gathering witness testimonies from US Air Force personnel and local civilians. Many witnesses had been sent back to the US, and local officials were reluctant to speak. The article highlights interviews with base personnel, including Base Chief Gordon Williams and Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, whose report, despite claims of its non-existence, surfaced. Pseudonymous witness 'Steve Roberts' and 'Art Wallace' (later identified as Larry Warren) provide dramatic accounts, with Wallace's testimony, obtained through hypnotic regression, being particularly fantastical, involving a landed object, a hangar sighting, and an encounter with an alien explaining their presence.

Jenny Randles' investigation into the case is also mentioned, including her attempts to obtain information from the UK Ministry of Defence's 'UFO Section' (DS-8) and her subsequent collaboration with colleagues in the US. The article notes the difficulty in obtaining official documentation, suggesting a possible government strategy to allow UFO stories to circulate to mask more sensitive information, such as the potential crash of a nuclear-armed cruise missile.

Book Review: 'Clear Intent: The Government Coverup of the UFO Experience'

This section reviews the book 'Clear Intent' by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J. Greenwood. The book, which has a foreword by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, compiles thousands of pages of documents obtained through the US Freedom of Information Act. These documents, sourced from various US government agencies like the FBI, CIA, Air Force, and others, allegedly reveal a systematic government effort to conceal information about UFO phenomena. The review notes that the book argues UFOs represent a high intelligence, possibly extraterrestrial. It also mentions that the book lacks an index, making it difficult to reference, but still recommends it.

UFOs and Radar: Where Did They Go?

Philip J. Klass, an engineer and author known for his skeptical stance on UFOs, explores the decline in radar UFO reports since the 1950s and 1960s. He argues that while ufologists might believe this is due to government cover-ups, the reality lies in technological advancements. Klass explains how early radar systems were prone to false echoes caused by atmospheric conditions or flocks of birds. The development of more powerful and sensitive radars, coupled with the introduction of computers for tracking, initially led to more UFO reports as these phenomena were misinterpreted. However, further advancements, including the use of radar transponders on aircraft and more sophisticated computer filtering, have made it increasingly difficult to mistake natural phenomena or conventional aircraft for UFOs. Klass suggests that the US military's use of 'stealth techniques' in its new generation of aircraft also contributes to reduced radar visibility.

Ballooning: A Journey with the Wind

This article, authored by Benny Gade, describes the experience of hot air ballooning. It profiles Rimmy Tschernja, a Danish balloon skipper, and recounts a specific flight from Sdr. Nissum in West Jutland. The article details the process of preparing the balloon, the sensation of ascending, and the lack of control over direction, as the flight is entirely dependent on wind conditions. It also touches upon the safety aspects and the unique perspective from high above the ground. The piece includes a brief mention of a strange object landing in a field near where the author was staying, prompting curiosity.

SUFOI Reports and Subscription Offer

The magazine includes a section detailing UFO reports received by SUFOI (Skandinavisk UFO Information) between May 1st and August 31st, 1985. These reports are categorized using a classification system (NL.1, NL.2, DL.1, DL.2, NO.1, NO.2, NO.3) based on time of day, visual characteristics, and proximity to the observer. The issue also features a subscription offer for UFO-NYT, providing a discount for a five-year subscription.

Kölmjärvi Ghost-Bombs

This section briefly touches upon the Kölmjärvi 'ghost-bombs' phenomenon from 1946, describing cigar-shaped objects with cloth-like wings flying in formation and then crashing into a lake. It references a source from AFU Newsletter and provides a list of 20 references, mostly newspaper articles and interviews, related to the case.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-NYT demonstrates a continued interest in well-known UFO cases like Rendlesham, investigative journalism into alleged government cover-ups, and the scientific analysis of UFO phenomena, particularly concerning radar sightings. The publication also features lighter topics like ballooning, showcasing a diverse range of content within the UFO and unexplained phenomena sphere. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various perspectives from skeptical analyses to more extraordinary witness accounts, while also providing a platform for reporting and discussion within the UFO community, as evidenced by the SUFOI reports and the subscription drive.

Title: UFO-NYT

Publisher: SUFOI
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO-NYT focuses on offering a sale of UFO-related materials at reduced prices, alongside articles on space exploration and UFO theories.

UFO Materials at Bargain Prices

The magazine begins with a prominent advertisement for a wide selection of UFO materials available from SUFOI. The list includes numerous books and reports by authors such as Kim Møller Hansen (e.g., 'Piloter ser UFOer', 'UFO Sløring', 'Bortført, Travis Walton Sagen'), Åge Skjelborg, Nils Mustelin, J.

Space Exploration: Soviet and Western Initiatives

Interplanetary Exploration by Tommy Christensen discusses the advancements in interplanetary exploration, particularly highlighting the Soviet Union's efforts. The article notes the increasing use of ASR-9 radar systems in American airports, which have reduced the number of radar-based UFO reports. It contrasts this with older radar systems that were more susceptible to false alarms. The author speculates that the new technology might be perceived by UFO proponents as a government attempt to filter out 'legitimate UFOs'.

The article then delves into specific Soviet space missions:

• Phobos 1988: A planned mission involving two spacecraft to orbit Mars at a close distance (under 200 km). These craft will be equipped with TV cameras, spectrometers, and plasma wave equipment to study the Martian surface and solar wind. After studying Mars, one probe will be redirected to meet the mission's main objective (likely related to Halley's Comet, as mentioned in relation to Vega missions).
• Vesta 1991: A joint Soviet-French mission, pending approval. A probe will launch from Earth in 1991 and split into two. The Russian part will head towards Venus, while the French part will target the asteroid Vesta. The Venus probe will deploy a capsule with instruments to study the atmosphere and surface. The French probe may also visit other asteroids. This mission aims to be the first to visit such small planets.

International Cooperation Strengthened discusses the growing Soviet involvement in planetary exploration, coinciding with the US rebuilding its space program. It mentions NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter and the increasing consideration of international collaboration to manage high costs. The article references a debate in West Germany regarding participation in a large space station project in the early 1990s, which received a positive response from the US. The possibility of joint US-Soviet launches is also raised.

The Moon 1990: A planned Soviet orbiter mission for 1989 or 1990 to provide global coverage of the Moon's surface chemistry, mineral deposits, gravity, and magnetism. This mission is seen as important for understanding the Moon and potentially utilizing its resources for future space construction.

Norsk Astronautisk Forening (Norwegian Astronautical Society) is introduced, inviting interested individuals to join for information on space research through lectures and publications. The society publishes 'Nytt om Romfart' and 'Smånytt om Romfart' and organizes events in Oslo.

Danish Reports

Night Lights in Resolution by Kim Møller Hansen details a UFO sighting by the Hansen family in Copenhagen on August 4, 1978. The family observed a large, bright, star-like object descending through clouds, which then split into several luminous spots that moved slowly and changed color to orange before disappearing. The event lasted 15-20 minutes and was photographed. The analysis by H. Bødker suggests that while some lights might be reflections, at least three are genuine. The lights bore some resemblance to aircraft landing lights or flares.

Young Man in Shock by Jørgen Bengtvig recounts an incident where an 18-year-old man experienced a yellow light following him on his moped. Later, his moped's engine and lights inexplicably cut out, and the front wheel lifted significantly before the engine restarted. The young man was left deeply disturbed and in a state of shock, feeling watched. The report notes that the investigation into this case is ongoing.

UFO Theories

The Initiated's Intervention by Jacques Vallee presents a controversial hypothesis suggesting that UFO phenomena might be part of a deliberate strategy by a group of 'initiated' individuals on Earth. Vallee explores potential connections between UFO events and occult phenomena, citing historical examples of occult groups influencing events. He posits that such a group could manipulate physical processes, project images, and create 'tulpa-like' entities. The hypothesis suggests that these groups might operate internationally, using secrecy and disinformation, possibly even planting false evidence or discouraging scientific investigation. Vallee acknowledges the speculative nature of his hypothesis but points to historical precedents and ongoing research in parapsychology and military applications of such technologies. He argues that the standard of evidence for UFO data needs to be significantly higher than that accepted in scientific laboratories, and that the public should be wary of conclusions presented by 'scientific commissions' that have not thoroughly examined the evidence.

The article also touches upon the UMMO case, mentioning a photo taken in San José de Valderas in 1967, and discusses alleged cattle mutilations in Texas and Wisconsin. Vallee concludes by emphasizing the need for rigorous investigation of information sources, looking for deliberate deception rather than just errors or biases.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the commercialization of UFO research through the sale of materials, the ongoing advancements and international aspects of space exploration (with a focus on Soviet contributions), and speculative theories about the nature and origin of UFO phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting UFO research and awareness, while also critically examining evidence and theories, as exemplified by Vallee's article and the detailed reporting of the Copenhagen sighting. The magazine encourages reader participation in reporting sightings and contributing to investigations.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 6/85
Date: June 1985
Publisher: SUFOI

This issue of UFO-NYT delves into various UFO-related phenomena, investigations, and reports from around the world, with a strong focus on eyewitness accounts and scientific inquiry.

Key Articles and Reports

Imjärvi, Finland 1970: A UFO Classic

The central and most detailed report in this issue recounts the 1970 Imjärvi, Finland UFO encounter involving two skiers, Aarno Heinonen and Esko Viljo. The incident began on January 7, 1970, when the two men, while skiing, witnessed a strange phenomenon. A reddish-grey fog descended, and they felt a sensation of being grabbed. They then saw a being standing in a cone of light, holding a black box from which pulsed yellow light. The being was described as about 90 cm tall, thin, with a pale, waxy face and a strange nose. The craft itself was described as a round, flat, metallic grey disk, about 3 meters in diameter, with three spheres or domes around its underside and a tube extending from the center of the bottom.

The craft descended and hovered, emitting a strong, pulsating light that created a one-meter diameter glowing spot on the snow. The skiers observed the craft and the being for a short period before the craft ascended rapidly. Following the encounter, both men experienced physical symptoms. Heinonen reported numbness and pain in his right leg, which persisted for weeks, along with back pain, headache, and dark urine. Viljo also experienced swelling and redness in his face, eye irritation, and a general feeling of unease. Medical examinations by Dr. Kajanoja revealed that both men had experienced severe shock, with blood pressure significantly below normal. Despite initial medical attention, Heinonen continued to suffer from symptoms for months, including balance issues and memory lapses.

The report includes eyewitness accounts, a drawing of the being, and a series of drawings depicting the sequence of events. It also notes corroborating sightings of a bright light in the sky by two other individuals in the vicinity at the same time. Experts, including Professor Matti Tuuri, found the case intriguing, suggesting it was not a common electrical phenomenon and noting the unexplained nature of ball lightning.

UFOs Over New Zealand

Kim Møller Hansen provides an analysis of UFO sightings over New Zealand around New Year's 1978.

Bermuda Triangle Wreckage

A report from the 'London Times' details the discovery of wreckage from an American Super Constellation aircraft 30 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico. This find is presented as a potential explanation for some of the mysteries surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, noting that the aircraft had disappeared without a trace.

UFO as an American Spy Plane?

In Auckland, New Zealand, author Neil Illingworth suggests that a 1978 UFO sighting over Kaikoura might have been a test of a new, radar-invisible American spy plane, a theory that is met with skepticism by Australian UFO researcher Murray Scott.

UFO Over Sweden

Swedish military, police, and home guard searched for an unidentified flying object that entered Swedish airspace from the sea near Kivik. The object was detected by radar but disappeared, leading to speculation about its nature.

Foo Fighters

This section revisits the phenomenon of 'Foo Fighters,' mysterious aerial objects observed by Allied pilots during World War II. An article from 'Current Science and Aviation' in 1945 is quoted, describing these objects as red and silver fireballs that followed aircraft without attacking.

UFO Flew from Two Fighter Jets

A report from Zimbabwe describes how fighter jets were unable to pursue an unidentified flying object that displayed incredible speed and maneuverability.

Ball Lightning

This section explores the phenomenon of ball lightning, a rare form of natural electricity associated with thunderstorms. It details its destructive power and discusses theories about its origin and energy source, citing the work of Aleksandr Khasen from Moscow. The article also includes an account of an aggressive ball lightning encounter in the Caucasus mountains.

The Italian Defense Drives UFO Research

Four Italian parliament members submitted an inquiry to the defense ministry regarding UFO observations. The response, summarized in six points, indicates that the Air Force headquarters is responsible for investigating UFOs, an expert committee is evaluating observations, and meteorological phenomena are considered a possible explanation.

Mysterious Bangs

Reports of three loud bangs heard in Stockholm in August 1985 are discussed, along with attempts to explain them as earthquakes or sonic booms, with no definitive conclusion initially reached.

Uppsala Thunderclap

An account of a powerful thunderclap heard in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1697 is presented, described as being equivalent to thousands of cannons, causing damage to buildings. Another historical account from 1593 also details a loud bang in Uppsala.

Planetarium in Copenhagen

Plans for a new planetarium in Copenhagen, funded by the Urania Foundation, are announced. The article notes that some planetariums include UFO phenomena in their presentations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents UFO phenomena as a subject worthy of serious investigation, often highlighting unexplained events and eyewitness testimonies. There is a clear interest in scientific analysis, even when dealing with phenomena like ball lightning or historical accounts of aerial anomalies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, encouraging readers to submit their own sightings and experiences. The magazine also promotes its own publications and research efforts through SUFOI and related organizations.

Title: UFO-NYT
Issue: 6/85
Date: Not explicitly stated, but indicated as 6/85.
Publisher: SUFOI
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of UFO-NYT, dated 6/85, is packed with reports on UFO phenomena, investigations, and related research. It features a prominent cover story on 'UFO-mania?' focusing on Aarno Heinonen's extensive UFO experiences in Finland, alongside reports of UFO sightings by children in the UK and a sensational claim of Soviet cosmonauts encountering aliens in space. The magazine also highlights the work of Danish ufologists and organizations dedicated to UFO research.

UFO-mania? Aarno Heinonen's Experiences

The lead article details the extraordinary claims of Aarno Heinonen, who reported numerous UFO experiences between January 1970 and August 1972, including 23 distinct observations. Heinonen claims to have had two encounters with a female alien, described as 140 cm tall with shoulder-length hair and blue eyes, resembling descriptions from Adamski's accounts. She reportedly floated rather than walked and claimed to be 180 years old. During these encounters, she presented him with a silver sphere with three antennas. Heinonen also reported a second meeting where a larger being, two meters tall, had previously visited the area. The article notes that while Heinonen and his companion Viljo reported these encounters, the amount of detail they could recall was surprisingly limited. A further incident involved a 140 cm tall being appearing in Viljo's living room and vanishing after 30 seconds. The Swedish ufologist Anders Liljegren is quoted, expressing skepticism about the concrete evidence in Heinonen's and Viljo's reports, suggesting they read more like fairy tales than logical contact attempts. Liljegren points out that attempts to present evidence, like a stone given to Heinonen or photographic attempts by Viljo, were thwarted, further undermining the credibility of the accounts.

Children Saw UFO

This section, authored by Leslie Harris, investigates a UFO sighting that occurred at Baiter Point, near Poole in Dorset, UK. The report is based on interviews with six nine-year-old boys who witnessed the phenomenon on November 13, 1980. The boys, who all attended the same school and lived in close proximity, described an object that was approximately twice the size of a helicopter, hovering at about 100 meters altitude. They described it as hamburger-shaped or oval, divided by a black band, and possessing an indeterminate color with red, yellow, and blue lights arranged like a propeller. A red 'poppy-like' marking was observed on the underside, with a yellow beam of light emanating from the center. The object was either silent or emitted a faint humming sound. It ascended and flew away after approximately three minutes. The article details the individual perceptions of the boys, noting discrepancies in their descriptions of the object's shape, color, and the presence of a propeller. Despite these variations, the investigators concluded that the boys likely witnessed an unknown aerial phenomenon, finding their accounts to be sincere and their descriptions too detailed and varied to be easily fabricated.

UFO Fondet af 1979

Authored by Per Andersen, this article discusses the UFO Fondet af 1979 (UFO Fund of 1979) and its grant awarded in 1985 to Kim Møller Hansen. Hansen, who leads SUFOI's Research Department, was recognized for his significant contributions to UFO research in Denmark. The fund's board unanimously chose Hansen, citing his objective and factual approach to UFO phenomena. Since 1981, Hansen has focused on classic UFO cases, adding new information through source studies. His article series in UFO-NYT and his slide show presentation 'Focus på UFOer' have been instrumental in educating both the public and students about UFOs. The article also mentions two books edited by Hansen: 'UFO Sløring' and 'Piloter ser UFO'er'. The UFO Fondet af 1979 was established in 1979 to manage funds from summer seminars and awards grants to individuals who have made notable contributions to the UFO field, as well as supporting UFO research projects. Previous recipients include X.P. Madsen, Per Andersen, and H.C. Pedersen.

The fund emphasizes its cross-organizational nature, meaning it is not tied to any single UFO organization. The article invites readers to suggest candidates for the 1986 grant and welcomes financial contributions to support the fund's work.

Kosmonauter hilser på rumvæsner

This article reports a sensational claim from a high-ranking Soviet source, relayed by journalist Henri Gris to the National Enquirer. It alleges that Soviet cosmonauts Vladimir Kovalyonok and Viktor Savinykh had a four-day encounter with aliens aboard the Salyut 6 space station on May 14, 1981. According to the report, a silver, spherical spacecraft, about half the size of their own vessel, appeared and followed them. The cosmonauts reportedly filmed the object. After maintaining a distance, the alien craft approached within 100 meters, revealing 24 small windows and three larger ones, through which three humanoid heads appeared. The aliens were described as wearing tight-fitting helmets, having prominent eyebrows, large noses, and unusually large blue eyes. Their skin was brown, and their faces were expressionless, like robots. The aliens reportedly responded to a star chart shown by the cosmonauts with their own star chart, identifying our solar system. They also exchanged thumbs-up gestures and responded to Morse code signals with their own numerical system. The article notes that the cosmonauts' subsequent film of the aliens' departure showed the spherical craft flying away and shrinking, with an engineer describing it as a cosmic farewell. The article includes a disclaimer stating that while UFO-NYT aims to be factual, it will also present more extreme stories from other publications, taking no responsibility for their veracity.
