Den Flyvende Tallerken - 2009 No 3

Magazine Overview

This document is the third issue of "Den Flyvende Tallerken" (The Flying Saucer), a newsletter from the Norwegian Organization for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (NETIS) for the year 2009. It serves as a communication channel for members, providing updates on UFO-related news, personal accounts, and analyses.

Redaktørens Spalte (Editor's Column)

The editor, Kjell Arne Høviskeland, introduces the issue, noting that it is the third for 2009 and has been completed as the holiday season approaches. He highlights key articles within this edition: a report on a pyramid-shaped UFO seen over Moscow, a letter from Dr. Steven M. Greer to President Barack Obama, and an article about Stephen Bassett's lecture in Oslo. Bassett, a proponent of UFO disclosure, believes that a revelation about UFO phenomena is imminent, potentially from President Obama or another nation. The column also mentions travelogues from a trip to Hessdalen and a continuation of articles on historical UFO observations. The next issue is announced for early January 2010. The editor extends holiday wishes to the members.

Pyramideformet UFO svevde over Moskva (Pyramid-shaped UFO hovered over Moscow)

This article reports on a widely observed event where a large, pyramid-shaped object was seen hovering over Red Square in Moscow for several hours. The incident garnered international media attention, with the object being filmed and shared online, notably on YouTube. The object was described as resembling a spaceship from Star Wars. Nick Pope, a former UFO analyst for the UK Ministry of Defence, commented that the footage was among the most powerful UFO clips he had seen, dismissing the initial theory of it being a reflection. A meteorologist from Storm Weather Center suggested it was unlikely to be a meteorological phenomenon, speculating it might be a type of helium balloon, though he expressed doubt. The article also briefly mentions a mysterious light phenomenon observed over Northern Norway, which researchers suggested could have been caused by a Russian rocket.

Reisebrev fra Solveig Mikkelsen, Kiberg, fra Hessdalsturen 28.-31.aug 2009 (Travelogue from Solveig Mikkelsen, Kiberg, from the Hessdalen Trip 28-31 Aug 2009)

Solveig Mikkelsen recounts her trip to Hessdalen with a group of members. The journey involved travel by plane, bus, and taxi. During their stay, they experienced overcast weather. On the second day, while visiting Røros, they noticed a strange, unpleasant smell that moved around them. Mikkelsen took a photo, which reportedly captured two orbs. Later that night, she witnessed a flashing light or orb above the horizon. The following morning, they traveled to Sykkylven. Mikkelsen notes that they had visited Hessdalen in 2002 and also observed UFOs then.

Brevet fra Dr. Steven M. Greer til President Barack Obama (Letter from Dr. Steven M. Greer to President Barack Obama)

This lengthy letter, dated from mid-1950s, addresses President Obama directly regarding classified projects related to extraterrestrial affairs that have operated outside constitutional oversight since the mid-1950s. Dr. Greer argues that this secrecy poses a grave threat to US national security and global peace. He asserts that the implications of disclosure are profound, affecting all aspects of life on Earth. The secrecy, he claims, has been maintained through psychological manipulation, ridicule, fear, and misinformation, making it difficult for public figures to address the issue openly. He highlights that the "bubble" of security around the President's office hinders access to accurate information. Greer contends that this secrecy has prevented the effective handling of this issue by previous administrations, leading to a crisis. He emphasizes that advanced scientific knowledge related to clean energy generation (from the zero-point energy field and quantum vacuum field) and propulsion (anti-gravity) has been suppressed. These technologies, he states, could solve pressing global issues like climate change, resource depletion, and energy security. Greer calls for a "New Declaration of Independence" to liberate humanity from economic slavery perpetuated by secret centralized power and corruption. He further states that humanity's entry into the cosmos is contingent upon achieving world peace and a unified, peaceful civilization. He warns of a covert operation, potentially orchestrated by the Majestic group, to simulate an "extraterrestrial attack" using advanced technology (Alien Reproduction Vehicles - ARVs, and Programmed Life Forms - PLFs) to unite the world behind a global military force. He points out that significant government funds are allocated to this "black budget." Greer notes a shift in attitude, with more intelligence officials now supporting disclosure. He urges President Obama to establish a Special Presidential Task Force, identify and remove covert operations targeting extraterrestrial craft, develop response plans for potential false flag operations, and create a Council for Interplanetary Relations. He mentions The Orion Project's efforts to establish contact and their readiness to assist. He concludes by offering his full support and integrity to the President's administration.

Obama vil avsløre kontakt med utenomjordisk liv (Obama will reveal contact with extraterrestrial life)

This article discusses UFO lobbyist Stephen Bassett's efforts to push for the disclosure of extraterrestrial contact. Bassett claims that President Obama will publicly admit to having had contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life, possibly by the end of 2009 or early 2010. The article references Bassett's lecture in Oslo, where he presented evidence supporting his claims, and his interviews on CNN. It states that the government cover-up of contact and advanced technology research began in 1947. Bassett and others believe humanity is now ready for this truth. The article mentions that information presented at the European Exopolitics Summit 2009 supports the idea of an upcoming disclosure, initiated by the Rockefeller Initiative in 1993. It lists prominent figures associated with this initiative, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The article encourages readers to seize the opportunity presented by a potential disclosure to demand truth in other societal areas.

Hessdalsturen 27-28-29-30.8-09 (Hessdalen Trip 27-28-29-30 Aug 2009)

This is a detailed travelogue from a group of members on a trip to Hessdalen, Norway. The group, including Elisabeth, Inger, Bjørg, Bob, and Randi, experienced significant rain and wind. They stayed in a rented house and engaged in various activities, including visiting local sites and observing the sky. During their stay, they reported seeing orbs and lights. One entry describes a large, reddish-orange "moon" observed near a rock formation, which disappeared when viewed from a different angle. Another member reported feeling strong energies from a stone. The group also participated in a guided tour led by Erling Strand, which included discussions about UFOs and local history. Despite challenging weather conditions, they continued their observations, with one member capturing images of blue lights and orbs on her digital camera. The article notes the presence of other UFO enthusiasts and local residents during their activities.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, the potential for government disclosure of extraterrestrial contact, the suppression of advanced technologies (particularly in energy), and the importance of peace and a shift in human consciousness for cosmic integration. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for transparency, urging governments to reveal information about UFOs and related technologies, and promoting a peaceful, unified approach to humanity's place in the universe. There is a strong emphasis on the belief that continued secrecy is detrimental to global progress and security.

This issue of "UFO-Nytt" (UFO News) is dated Sunday, December 20, 2009, and serves as the concluding newsletter for the year. It is published by NETI, with Kjell Arne Høviskeland as the editor. The publication clarifies that the articles within "UFO-Nytt" do not necessarily reflect the official views of NETI on the UFO phenomenon, and the responsibility for the published material lies with the individual authors. The issue thanks contributors for their help with translation and proofreading.

Personal Account of a UFO Sighting

The issue opens with a personal narrative from an individual who, along with companions, witnessed unusual aerial phenomena. They describe seeing "shooting stars" that didn't descend normally, but rather moved horizontally. They observed a white sphere with a halo, and later another similar object that "sparkled." The group also noted many other bright, white spheres moving across the sky in various directions. The experience was described as exciting, with the witnesses calling it "great fun."

Historical UFO Sightings

The magazine then delves into historical UFO reports, beginning with a wave of sightings in 1896 and 1897 in the United States and Canada. These reports described strange flying lights and "airships" of cigar and barrel shapes. Specific incidents mentioned include a sighting in Tulare, California, where an object descended and then ascended rapidly, and a mass sighting in Kansas City, Missouri, of a large, black object hovering before shooting into space. Descriptions often included "glowing lights" and "sigarformet" (cigar-shaped) or "metallic" objects.

Further historical accounts include an observation by the renowned artist and explorer Nicholas Roerich in northern China in 1926, where he described a large, shiny, oval object moving at high speed. Aviator Sir Francis Chichester's encounter in 1931 over the Tasman Sea is also detailed, where he witnessed a luminous object that appeared and disappeared.

The 'Ghost Rocket' Phenomenon

The issue dedicates significant attention to the "spøkelsesraketter" (ghost rockets) phenomenon, which occurred in large numbers over northern Europe in 1946. Initially mistaken for meteors, these objects were described as emitting smoke and leaving glowing trails. Reports indicated they moved at high speeds and sometimes changed course sharply. The phenomenon spread across Europe and even reached North Africa and India, with Sweden registering over 1000 observations. Swedish authorities suspected Soviet involvement, but no concrete evidence of attacks or damage was found.

The Kenneth Arnold Sighting (1947)

A pivotal event discussed is the sighting by private pilot Kenneth Arnold on June 24, 1947. While searching for a missing aircraft near Mount Rainier, Washington, Arnold observed nine shiny objects flying in formation at an estimated speed of 2560 km/t. He described them as "flat as frying pans" and moving like "a saucers would if you let it skip across the water." This sighting is credited with forcing the U.S. Air Force to officially investigate UFO phenomena, leading to projects like Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book.

UFO Classification and Close Encounters

Astronomer J. Allen Hynek's work in classifying UFO reports for the U.S. Air Force is explained. He divided observations into two main categories: those at least 150 meters away (Night Lights, Day Discs, Radar Sightings) and those closer than 150 meters. The latter are further categorized into Close Encounter of the First Kind (observation without interaction), Second Kind (physical effects like car malfunctions or ground traces), and Third Kind (sightings of UFO occupants). A fourth category, Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind (NK-4), is introduced, referring to personal contact with UFO crews and alleged temporary captivity.

Notable Case: 'Gorman Dogfight' (1948)

The issue recounts the "Gorman dogfight" incident on October 1, 1948, involving Lieutenant George F. Gorman of the North Dakota Air National Guard. Gorman engaged in a pursuit of a bright, round object that exhibited remarkable maneuverability, including sharp turns and ascents. The object's speed and evasive actions were beyond the capabilities of Gorman's F-51 fighter jet. The encounter lasted for 27 minutes and was partially corroborated by other witnesses.

The 'Lubbock Lights' (1951)

Another significant case detailed is the "Lubbock lights" observed in Lubbock, Texas, during August and September 1951. Hundreds of people witnessed large, "wing-shaped" objects with bluish lights, and some even captured photographs. These objects were also detected on radar. One account describes a large, wing-shaped UFO with bluish lights passing overhead at a low altitude, appearing to be significantly larger than a B-36 bomber. Another sighting involved a "plow-shaped" formation of lights moving at high speed.

Personal Abduction and Regression Account

The final section of the issue features a personal narrative from an individual who identifies as a former investigative journalist. This person shares their experiences with UFO abductions and past life regression. They express a belief in the reality of UFOs and aliens, suggesting that aliens are advanced beings who are not interested in controlling human leaders but rather in observing and, in some cases, helping humanity. The narrator describes being abducted multiple times, but emphasizes that these encounters are often consensual, with the aliens asking for permission. They also recount a past life regression experience where they witnessed themselves as a young woman in a primitive setting, suggesting a connection to pre-human or early human races.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of "UFO-Nytt" are historical UFO sightings, unexplained aerial phenomena, and personal encounters with UFOs and potential extraterrestrial beings. The editorial stance, as stated in the introductory note, is to present a variety of accounts and perspectives on the UFO phenomenon, acknowledging that these do not necessarily represent the official views of the publishing organization (NETI). The publication aims to inform and encourage discussion among its readers regarding these mysteries.
