Kosmologie Bindeglied Nachrichten No 1 for Europe

Magazine Overview

This issue of KOSMOLOGIE BINDEGLIED NACHRICHTEN, identified as Number 26 and the first issue for Europe in November 1980, is published by COSMOLOGY connecting-link NEWS. The cover prominently features the headline: "UFO'S WIR FRAGEN: WARUM MUSSEN SIE IMMER GEHEIMNIS SEIN ?" (UFOs We Ask: Why Must They Always Be Secret?).

Leitartikel (Editorial)

The editorial discusses an alleged UFO landing in Dunmow, Essex, England, in January or February, stating the story is true but was kept secret by the press. It questions why UFO information must always be secret. The article then addresses the idea of government cover-ups, refuting claims by government officials that there is no concealment. It points to an incident where a UFO landed near an army base. The editorial references President Jimmy Carter's 1979 Freedom of Information Act, suggesting it might be a new form of deception, and expresses a desire for the full truth, stating that what has been revealed is "not enough."

"WIR FRAGEN: WARUM MUSSEN SIE IMMER GEHEIMNIS SEIN ?" (We Ask: Why Must They Always Be Secret?)

This section continues the theme of secrecy surrounding UFOs. It mentions an incident in Dunmow, Essex, England, where a UFO allegedly landed. When two reporters visited the site for their newspapers, the story was suppressed, leading to the question of why UFOs must always be kept secret.

The article then discusses the government's stance, with officials claiming no cover-up of UFO incidents in England, America, and other regions. However, the author asserts this is untrue, citing the Dunmow case and a UFO landing near an army base. The Freedom of Information Act, enacted by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, is mentioned, with the author suggesting it's another fairy tale and that the public has seen something, but the CIA is involved, and the public needs the rest of the information.

KOSMOLOGIE BINDEGLIED NACHRICHTEN - Zeitschrift Nr. 1

This section introduces the publication as a source for world news on UFOs and other topics. It states that Kosmologie is a science of the universe, dealing with the structure and parts of creation. The title CNK (KBN) was chosen to explore the unknown and mysteries of the cosmos. The publication aims to provide answers and hopes to accomplish its function. CNK will now be published for Europe only, approximately twice a year, as a break from the editor's task of unraveling the mysteries of gravity and developing an anti-gravity device.

KBN ERSCHEINT FUR EUROPE NUR AB UND ZU.

KBN (CNK) will appear for Europe only, perhaps twice a year. It aims to connect with other UFO groups in Germany and Europe, hoping to reach about 25 issues. The limited contact in Germany and Europe is cited as a reason for the infrequent publication. The issue thanks Brenda Butler, Chris Penny, Crystal Hogben, Rita Harris, Ed. O' Hare, and David Procktor for their help.

SAUCERAMA - The Satirical Sheet

This section introduces "SAUCERAMA" as a satirical look at the world of flying saucers and those who investigate them, with the first issue dated November 1980. The preface humorously suggests that UFOs don't exist, but acknowledges the need for a publication like SAUCERAMA to bring laughter to the serious subject of ufology. It aims to provide "outterspace humor" and asks readers to send in requests for a second issue, with the aim of staying incognito. The editors hope readers will see the "FUNNY SIDE."

UFO'S ??? YES!

This section presents a series of humorous, imagined quotes related to UFO encounters from various countries:

• Denmark: "COME CLOSER SO WE CAN GET A BETTER LOOK AT YOU!" and "WELCOME TO DENMARK DEAR SPACE BROTHERS! ADAMSKI WELCOMES YOU!"
• U.S.A.: "LOOK! A flying saucer." "Quick! Shoot it down!" "No, don't bother, it's only swarup gas, buddy."
• Sweden: "I have a great collection of books on flying saucers."
• Japan: "Ah! So! An unidentified Flying Object!" "Quick, catch it, find out how it works, and then we can sell them."
• Italy: ZAMFRETTA!
• UFOLOGY IN SOUTH AMERICA: "Oh Help! She got me." "MAN TAKEN OFF HIS TRACTOR TO CO-HABIT WITH FEMALE IN A FLYING SAUCER." "Quick! Let's all get down there- pronto!"
• UFOLOGY IN ENGLAND: "Hello, Is that the Ministry of Defence?" "YEEES!, this is it speaking." "I've just seen a flying saucer." "YEES, I'm quite sure you have. But then we all see them from time to time."

UFOLOGY IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES AS WE SEE IT

This section provides humorous descriptions of ufology in different countries:

• Germany: "WE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU READ FALSE STATEMENTS" with rules like "KEEP OFF THE GRASS," "DO NOT PARK HERE," "DON'T SPEAK TO EARTHMEN," and "NO BREATHING!"
• France: "DO COME IN- ooh la la!" "Our Police welcome you" "Do land in the space provided." "Welcome Space brothers- France recognises you-welcome to France!" "DO YOU SPEAK FRENCH?"

WARMINSTER - Wilts.

This piece describes Warminster in Wiltshire, where people are observing the sky, wondering why UFOs seem to have disappeared. It suggests that the sightings might be caused by ley lines crossing underground.

UFO'S REVIEWED

This article discusses the possibility of creating a "SCIENTIFIC UFOLOGY MAGAZINE" that reviews UFOs not just based on scientific evidence but also from a different standpoint. The author questions the existence of UFOs, suggesting that perhaps they don't exist, and that by taking this approach, one might find out if they "REALLY do exist." The author acknowledges that without instrumentation, it's impossible to discover if UFOs exist. The article notes that many scientists and astronomers claim UFOs do not exist and that Earth is unique in having life. It questions why sightings continue to be reported, particularly at night, suggesting that it's easier to be confused in the dark. A recent case of a mistaken UFO was identified as a small biplane.

The author concludes that such a magazine would likely not last long because the UFO saga is ongoing and the question of their existence will likely remain.

GRAVITY, ANTI-GRAVITY, and Sir Isaac Newton

This article, written by the editor Edward Harris, explores the concept of gravity. It references the story of Sir Isaac Newton and the falling apple, which led to his paper on gravity. However, the author questions whether Newton and Einstein truly explained what gravity IS, comparing it to explaining electricity. The article posits that if Newton's third law of motion (for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction) is correct, then there should be an anti-gravity force on Earth. It speculates whether such a place might exist in the Bermuda Triangle.

SCHWERKRAFT, ANTI-SCHWERKRAFT, und Issac Newton...

This German-language section reiterates the discussion on gravity and anti-gravity, referencing Sir Isaac Newton and the falling apple. It questions what truly causes gravity and suggests that if gravity exists, an anti-gravity must also exist, possibly in the Bermuda Triangle.

UFO'S REVIEWED (continued)

This section continues the discussion on UFOs, questioning their existence. The author contemplates a "SCIENTIFIC UFOLOGY MAGAZINE" and suggests examining UFOs from a different perspective, starting with Ken Arnold's 1940s sighting. The author states that UFOs "DO NOT EXIST" and challenges readers to consider this viewpoint. It notes that without instrumentation, definitive proof is impossible. The article mentions that many scientists claim UFOs do not exist and that Earth is unique in the cosmos. It questions why sightings are reported, especially at night, and suggests that the most recent mistaken UFO was a small biplane. The author believes that a magazine dedicated to this topic would not last long due to the ongoing nature of the UFO question.

IN Kurz - In Short

This section presents two brief, mysterious stories:

1. Mysteriöse geschichte in der Wolt (Mysterious story in the World): Bob Fowler was alone in his boat during a storm when three phantom figures appeared. They gave him instructions about his boat and a ship. He eventually found a ship called ANDREW and his phantom friends disappeared. His boat's battery was found to be faulty.
2. Mysterious stories in the World (from WEEKEND Magazine, April 11-12, 1979): Bob Fowler was alone in his boat during a storm when three phantom figures appeared. They gave him instructions about his boat and a ship. He eventually found a ship called ANDREW and his phantom friends disappeared. His boat's battery was found to be faulty.

Nachprüfung der UFO's (Re-examination of UFOs)

This article discusses the potential for a future magazine called "WISSENSCHAFTLICHE UFOLOGIE MAGAZIN" (Scientific Ufology Magazine). The author questions the scientific validity of UFO sightings and proposes re-examining UFOs, starting with Ken Arnold's 1940s sighting, and boldly stating that "UFOS EXISTIERN NICHT!" (UFOs DO NOT EXIST!). The author argues that it's impossible to discover if UFOs exist without instrumentation and that many scientists claim Earth is unique in the universe. The article suggests that UFOs are not always observed scientifically and that many sightings occur at night, making them prone to misidentification. It mentions a recent case that was clarified as a small biplane.

The author believes that the UFO saga will continue indefinitely and that the question of their existence will likely remain unanswered.

WARUM MUSSEM UPO'S GEHEIMNIS SKIN ? (Why Must UFOs Be Secret?)

This article addresses the question of UFO secrecy, referencing a query made by Lord Clancarty in the House of Lords in January 1979. It mentions that the nation was in turmoil, with many MPs demanding a state of emergency. The House of Lords debated UFOs, with bishops and peers listening intently. Lord Clancarty alleged government cover-ups worldwide regarding UFO activity, stating it was time for the government to inform the public of what it knows. The article claims UFOs have doubled since World War II and that people should know the truth. It follows with a report of a UFO landing near a location in February that was subsequently covered up, urging UFO groups to unite and address this "annoying situation."

TWENTY YEARS TO DOOMSDAY.

This article, sourced from Frank Garvan in New York (WEEKEND, September 1973), discusses predictions by American scientist Jeffrey Goodman about massive geological disasters by the year 2000. Goodman's forecasts, based on geological studies and psychics, suggest that by 2000, some countries will have disappeared, landmasses will have risen from the seas, and the Earth will topple from its north-south axis. The article outlines specific predictions: New York facing a massive earthquake between 1985-1990; Britain experiencing sinkings and landmasses rising off its coast; Denmark separating from Scandinavia; major disruptions in Norway, Sweden, and Finland; and the ocean reaching London. USA disasters are predicted to start around 1980, with San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco being destroyed, and the Aleutian Islands disappearing. Major tidal waves and earthquakes are expected to hit India and Japan. New York will be devastated, with land rising west of Britain and near Gibraltar, creating a land bridge to Africa. The Earth will tip a few degrees. Between 1990 and 2000, large sections of the West Coast of America will fall into the sea, while South Carolina and New Jersey will be submerged. Britain will experience upheaval, and Japan will disappear. Around the year 2000, the Earth will stop turning for several days, and magnetic poles will shift. The article notes that psychics foresee the return of Christ around this time. The CNK adds a comment hoping these predictions do not occur and that preparations can be made if they do.

FAIRIES CREATE BY-PASS: (December 1978)

This piece from WEEKEND magazine describes a situation on the Isle of Man where a planned road bypass was rerouted to avoid upsetting fairies. The original plan involved tearing down a bridge known as "The Glen of the Little People." To avoid misfortune, the parliament voted to build the bypass around the structure, ensuring no fairy would be homeless.

FOENHAFT MACHEN - ENTLASTUNGSSTRASSE: (Dezember 1978)

This article, also from WEEKEND magazine, discusses a similar situation in Germany where a new bypass road was planned. The original plan to demolish an old bridge was reconsidered due to beliefs that it would bring bad luck. The road was rerouted, and people would remove their hats when passing the bridge. Old walls in other areas were also left standing for similar reasons, to prevent fairies from becoming homeless.

JAMES BEKKOMMT SEINE NACHBRUCK VON EINE PYRAMIDE / JAMES GETS HIS POWER FROM A PYRAMID

These brief notes direct readers to page 9 for further information on James getting power from a pyramid.

JAMES GETS HIS POWER FROM A PYRAMID (continued)

This section, with an unknown credit source, discusses actor James Coburn's experience with pyramid power. He reportedly sat in a plastic pyramid tent to regain his appetite. Researchers believe the shape of the pyramid creates a mysterious energy responsible for preserving Egyptian mummies. Coburn states that meditating in the tent helps him relax, and upon exiting, his senses are heightened, making food and drink more enjoyable. He also notes that wine left in the pyramid for 30 minutes acquires a crisper tang.

ZWANZIG JAHREN BIS DAS JUNGSTE GERICHT ENDE DER WELT-BIS AN DAS WELTEND

This article, from Frank Garvan in New York (Wochenend Sept. '78), discusses warnings from American scientist Jeffrey Goodman about massive geological catastrophes. It states that millions of earthquakes occur daily, but few are felt. Goodman warns that by the year 2000, our world could face significant geological events, including landmasses disappearing and the Earth's axis shifting. The article references his book, "WE ARE THE EARTHQUAKE GENERATION," and reiterates the predictions of widespread destruction and upheaval by the turn of the millennium.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO secrecy and government cover-ups, the nature of gravity and scientific inquiry, and apocalyptic predictions of geological disasters. The magazine adopts a critical stance towards official explanations, questioning scientific theories and suggesting that hidden truths exist. There is a blend of serious investigation, speculative science, and satirical commentary on the UFO phenomenon and related topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards authority and a pursuit of deeper, possibly suppressed, knowledge.
