Den Flyvende Tallerken - 2009 No 1 -

Magazine Overview

'Den Flyvende Tallerken' (The Flying Saucer), issue number 1 for 2009, is the newsletter from the Norwegian Organization for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (NETI). It serves as a communication channel for its members, providing updates on organizational activities, reports on UFO phenomena, and discussions on related topics.

Redaktørens Spalte (Editor's Column)

The editor's column announces the name change from 'UFO-Nytt' to 'Den Flyvende Tallerken'. It highlights NETI's active engagement, including regular UFO meetings in Sarpsborg, the initiation of meetings in Bergen, and planned trips to Hessdalen. A two-day conference in Sarpsborg is scheduled, featuring lectures by Rune Øverby and Tore Alfstad on 'Life aboard UFO Motherships with missions to Earth'. Plans are also underway to start regular UFO meetings in Oslo. As of April 5, 2009, NETI has 140 members.

The organization was represented at an alternative fair in Bergen from March 20-22, where Rune Øverby gave three lectures, and NETI gained new members. This fair was NETI's most successful in Bergen to date. Sales of DVDs, including Terje Toftenes' new film 'Portalen' about Hessdalen, were strong. The editor expresses strong recommendation for this UFO documentary. The approved annual report and financial statement for 2008 will be included in the next issue.

Regrettably, the issue notes the cessation of 'UFO DATA Magazine', a UK publication that NETI subscribed to, due to financial difficulties. The editor expresses concern about the potential impact on the annual UFO conference held in Leeds, England. The column concludes with a wish for a pleasant and sunny Easter holiday for all members.

Activities Ahead (Aktiviteter Framover i Regi av NETI)

NETI is organizing several events: UFO meetings at Alternativhuset in Sarpsborg on April 15, May 12, and June 9, starting at 18:30 with an entrance fee of 30 NOK for members and 50 NOK for non-members, including coffee/tea and snacks. A two-day conference on 'Life aboard UFO Motherships with missions to Earth' will take place in Sarpsborg on April 18-19, discussing life aboard such ships, preparation for missions, and procedures for potential future catastrophes like pole shifts. Meditations and channelings related to the theme are also planned. The conference will be held at Alternativsenteret.

A member meeting in Bergen is scheduled for April 28 at 19:00 at Lakshmi Norge. A UFO meeting will be held in Lørenfallet, Sørum Kommune, on May 4, starting at 18:00.

Who Won the Flax-Lodd?

The winners of the Flax-lodd draw held during the annual meeting in Bergen on March 29 were Finn M. Kalvik (Bergen), Tharald Beck (Oslo), and Elisabeth Gjerdrum (Vevestad).

Newsletter Distribution

The newsletter 'Den Flyvende Tallerken' will be mailed to subscribers four times a year and sent via email 5-6 times a year, with identical content. This distribution strategy is due to high printing and postage costs.

Mysterious Animal Mutilations (Mystiske Dyrelemlestelser) by Rolf Kenneth Myhre

This extensive article details the phenomenon of animal mutilations, primarily of cattle, which began to be reported in 1967 across North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan. The author posits that these mutilations are carried out by entities possessing advanced technology, possibly extraterrestrial (ET) in origin. The article cites evidence suggesting that ETs may use animal blood for their own nutrition, with different ET species possibly preferring different animals. Eyewitness accounts of individuals being taken aboard spacecraft to observe the procedures are mentioned, though Zeta ETs reportedly deny involvement.

The phenomenon's history is traced back to the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado in September 1967, where an Appaloosa mare was found mutilated. Investigations by US authorities at the time suggested a connection to UFOs. Former US National Security Council member Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso noted in his book 'The Day After Roswell' that the White House had received reports of such mutilations, some dating back to the mid-1950s, which were suppressed from the media to avoid public attention and potential conclusions about ET involvement.

The article lists numerous reports of animal mutilations globally, including significant waves in Colorado (1975-77, ~200 cases), Canada (1978, >100 half-cat carcasses), France (1985-86, ~400 sheep; 1992, ~300 sheep), Argentina (2002-2005, 2150 cattle and other large animals), and Chile (2002-2005, 1294 cattle and other large animals). Linda Moulton Howe's website 'Earthfiles' is highlighted as a primary source of information.

Key characteristics of the mutilations include the precise removal of reproductive organs, ears, eyes, jaw tissue, tongue, and rectum. In males, the penis and testicles are often removed, while in females, the uterus and udders are removed. The carcasses are typically bloodless, with no signs of struggle or predator activity. The precision of the cuts suggests advanced surgical instruments, possibly laser-based, and the absence of blood suggests a method that cauterizes as it cuts.

The article dismisses the possibility of predation by wild animals, citing the surgical nature of the wounds and the lack of bite marks. It also questions human involvement, noting the lack of arrests, claims of responsibility, and the advanced technology required. The possibility of 'dematerialization' of internal organs is raised as a mystery.

UFOs and unidentified lights are frequently reported in conjunction with these events, often accompanied by unmarked helicopters, leading to speculation about government involvement in investigating or even causing these phenomena. The article references 'Zeta Talk' which suggests these mutilations were part of a NWO-conspiracy with self-interested ET groups to instill fear, but that the project failed.

Several theories are proposed for the ETs' motives: using animal organs and blood for nutrients, studying the effects of environmental pollution on animals and humans, or using cow egg cells for cloning purposes.

Two detailed eyewitness accounts are presented: one from Judy Doraty and Cindy Tindle in Texas (1973), who recounted being taken aboard a UFO and witnessing a calf being mutilated for scientific study related to the environment and reproduction; and another from musician Roger Vail (early 1970s) in Colorado, who described being taken aboard a UFO and witnessing a heifer being processed for its blood and organs.

Danish UFO Archive

The Danish Flyvertaktisk Kommando has digitized its archive of UFO reports from individuals who have observed unidentified objects. This archive, containing reports from Denmark, is now available for download. The article notes that while many UFO observations have been made over Denmark throughout the years, most remain unexplained. Typical explanations for precise and detailed sightings include military or civilian aircraft, weather phenomena, or bright planets. However, some reports describe more unusual phenomena, such as a 'flying jellyfish' attributed to steam from a power plant. The historical UFO observations submitted to the Flyvertaktisk Kommando, along with investigation reports from Skandinavisk UFO Informasjon and newspaper articles, are now accessible. The Flyvertaktisk Kommando is subject to data protection laws, so personal information about observers has been removed. Skandinavisk UFO Informasjon has taken over the task of collecting and investigating UFO observations, with the Air Force providing information on military aircraft movements. The magazine 'Flyvervåbnet' (The Air Force) published on February 2nd contains more information about the UFO archive. Future UFO observations should be reported to Skandinavisk UFO Informasjon (SUFOI) via www.ufo.dk. The UFO archive can be downloaded as a PDF file (30MB).

Memorial (Minneord)

Gunnar Pedersen, aged 78, passed away on February 7, 2009. He had been creating UFO reports since the early 1980s and was an enthusiastic seeker of answers to the UFO enigma. He filmed unidentified objects in Voss and sent reports to interested parties and UFO organizations like UFO-Norge and NETI. NETI extends its condolences and wishes peace to his memory.

The Hessdalen Lights

The issue discusses the mysterious lights observed in Hessdalen, Norway, since the 1980s. These lights, which appeared with increasing frequency in 1981, were not attributable to conventional aircraft, satellites, or celestial bodies. They exhibited unusual behavior, including hovering at low altitudes, performing rapid maneuvers, and traveling at extremely high speeds. Researchers are investigating the phenomenon, with theories ranging from natural atmospheric events to extraterrestrial visitation. The energy emitted by these lights is also being studied for its potential in solving future energy problems.

Grey Wolf's Abduction Experience

A detailed personal account is shared by 'Grey Wolf' (Margrete Grey Wolf), an indigenous woman who recounts an abduction experience in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1981. She describes a missing time event and an encounter with various alien beings, including short, blue, robot-like figures and tall, thin beings with large eyes. She recalls being shown visions of future global events, such as volcanic eruptions and wars, which she later recognized as having occurred. Grey Wolf also mentions her connection to Lloyd Pye and Dr. Sitchin, and her discussions with Stanton Friedman and David Icke. She expresses concern about humanity's self-destructive tendencies and suggests that humans are the result of a failed experiment involving mixed DNA with apes. She indicates that some information she possesses is too sensitive to share.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-Nytt maintains a strong focus on UFO phenomena, alien encounters, and related documentaries. The editorial stance appears to be open to exploring these topics, as evidenced by the publication of personal accounts and reviews of films and books.
