NETI formally invites its members to the annual meeting on Saturday, March 27, 2010, at 12:00 PM in Oslo. The agenda includes standard meeting procedures like approving the invitation, electing officials, reviewing the annual report and financial statements, discussing new business, and electing board members. Following the meeting, members will have the opportunity to ask questions about the UFO phenomenon, and a UFO documentary may be shown.

Declassified UK UFO Files

This section reports on the declassification of hundreds of secret UK Ministry of Defence files concerning UFO sightings. Over 6000 pages of reports, spanning from 1994 to 2000, detail observations of various objects, including 'flying Toblerones', blue triangles, and white substances. The reports include accounts from police, military, and government officials. Notable sightings include objects over Chelsea FC's stadium and the home of former Home Secretary Michael Howard. One witness described a 'white halo of light' surrounding his car, causing him to feel physically ill. Another report details a blue triangle hovering over a garden in Birmingham, which then left behind a 'silky white' substance. Nick Pope, who led the UK's UFO project, described the files as 'the real X-Files', noting that while some sightings were explained, others remained mysterious. Experts suggest that the changing shapes of reported UFOs may be influenced by their portrayal in media. Police officers in Boston and Skegness captured a UFO on film, and a RAF radar detected an unidentified glimmer over Boston.

UFO-Flyplassen – Area 51

This article delves into the mysteries of Area 51, the highly secret US military base in Nevada. It describes the vast, unmarked area, its two large runways visible on Google Earth, and its history of developing top-secret spy planes and stealth bombers since the Cold War. The article touches on the 'Indiana Jones' and 'X-Files' connection, with fans believing the base holds 'little green men' and reverse-engineered UFO technology. It mentions the development of the U-2 spy plane and the 'Oxcart' project (precursor to the 'Blackbird'). Test pilot Kenneth Collins' near-fatal crash of an A-12 Oxcart in 1963 is recounted, highlighting the secrecy surrounding the project and the efforts to conceal the incident. The article also addresses the myth of crashed flying saucers being stored and studied at Area 51, confirming that there is an underground facility where secret projects, including research on Soviet fighter jets, were conducted. Highway 375, known as the 'Extraterrestrial Highway', is mentioned as a destination for UFO enthusiasts.

Unidentified Flying Objects – Continued

This section continues a series on UFO sightings. It details an incident at Orly Airport in Paris on February 19, 1956, where radar detected an object with unusual characteristics. A visual sighting by an Air France pilot confirmed an enormous, unclear red glowing object. The object's flight was tracked for four hours, but it was not detected by other observatories. Another case involves a US Air Force RB-47 aircraft that was pursued for over 1100 km by an unidentified object exhibiting intense speed and maneuvers. The object was detected by radar and visual observation, described as an 'intense white light', and attempts to intercept it failed. Project Blue Book eventually dismissed the case, identifying the object as American Airlines Flight 655, a conclusion many experts found baseless.

A dramatic close encounter occurred on May 3, 1975, near Mexico City, when pilot Carlos Antonio de los Montiel's Piper PA-24 began vibrating. He observed dark grey, disc-shaped objects around his aircraft. The UFOs caused his flight controls to malfunction, but he managed to land safely after they disappeared. Air traffic controllers had also tracked three objects on radar and confirmed the pilot's account, noting the objects' incredible maneuverability.

Another significant event took place on December 31, 1978, near New Zealand's South Island, where UFOs were simultaneously observed, filmed, and tracked by radar. An Argosy cargo plane with a TV crew onboard followed the UFOs, which exhibited unusual light patterns. The film captured a UFO with a 'shining illuminated underside and a kind of transparent dome'. Analysis of the film by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, an optical physics expert, indicated objects with unusual shapes and light emissions, with one object estimated to be 20-30 meters in diameter and emitting a powerful light. A panel of scientists, including specialists in optics, biophysics, and astronomy, concluded that the observed phenomena were undoubtedly unidentified flying objects, ruling out natural phenomena, known aircraft, or hoaxes.

First Degree Close Encounter

This section recounts an early close encounter reported by Eastern Airlines pilots Clarence S. Chiles and John B. Whitted on July 24, 1948. While flying near Montgomery, Alabama, they observed a fast-moving, wingless object that they initially mistook for a jet fighter. The object, described as cigar-shaped and approximately 35 meters long, had an intense blue glow along its side and emitted a red-orange flame. Both pilots noted windows on the object and a 'proboscis' extending from its nose. The object disappeared into scattered clouds. The Air Force investigators classified the sighting as a meteor and closed the case.

Another incident involved police officer Reg Toland in Exeter, New Hampshire, on September 3, 1965. Norman Muscarello reported seeing a large, round object with flashing lights hovering over him. Police officers Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt also witnessed the object, which was described as hovering 30-35 meters above the ground. The object's sharp, red flashing lights cast a scarlet glow. The case was investigated by the US Air Force, which did not attribute it to natural phenomena or known aircraft.

On April 17, 1966, four police officers in Ravenna, Ohio, pursued a 'house-sized' illuminated object. Vicesheriff Dale Spaur and his assistant Wilbur Neff first spotted the object moving at low altitude. The object emitted a humming sound and circled above them before retreating. The officers pursued it for about 65 km, joined by another officer, Wayne Huston. Huston described the object as shaped like an ice cream cone, with the tip pointing down and a dome on top. The object moved at speeds of 130-135 km/t. Four police officers provided consistent witness statements, describing the object as 8-10 meters in diameter, shining brightly, and ascending rapidly before disappearing. A plane from Pittsburgh passed underneath it just before it vanished. The US Air Force dismissed the observation as a misinterpretation of conventional objects and natural phenomena.

Grey Wolf's Abduction Story – Part V

This installment of the 'Grey Wolf' abduction story continues the narrative about the aliens' home planet. It describes a dim world with beautiful but muted colors, no stars, sun, or moons, and cities with white buildings and small blue blinking lights. The atmosphere is thick, soft, and humid, with water being central to their existence – they live on, travel on, and cultivate food from water. Their cities are located in or by freshwater. The aliens travel in silent flying objects that can land on water or land. They are described as having few material possessions and view Earth as messy, dirty, noisy, and impure. They have been on Earth for eons but wish to remain unseen, and their true nature is difficult for humans to comprehend.

The narrative further explains that the aliens' home is not mystical or religious but rather a place where they built large pyramids and megaliths, such as Stonehenge, as landing and launch sites. These structures, along with large stone buildings in Central and South America, were used for mineral-prospecting trips, primarily for gold. The pyramids, according to Grey Wolf, were energy stations and storage for 'balance/equilibrium' for their flying machines, not tombs. The text also mentions an experience with pendulums, advising caution as they can be unreliable.

Visit to a Mothership

This section, extracted from Knut Aasheim's book "Stjernefolket blant oss" (Star People Among Us), describes a conscious mental projection to a mothership. The author recounts two such 'journeys'. In one experience, the author approaches a mothership, described as a large, majestic, silent craft, approximately 3000 meters long and 240 meters in diameter, with a crew of 3000. The ship has seven longitudinal channels for smaller craft to enter and exit, suggesting a potential role in evacuating humans from Earth. The author enters through an airlock and is greeted by two individuals, Sandu and Sa-dat, with whom he has had telepathic contact. They proceed to a central hall where a meeting is in progress. The meeting's focus is on the importance of establishing permanent, reliable communication, primarily telepathic, with as many individuals as possible.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently explores the UFO phenomenon from various angles, including official reports, witness testimonies, and speculative theories about alien origins and technology. There's a strong emphasis on documenting historical sightings and analyzing their potential implications. The organization, NETI, appears to maintain an open-minded but analytical approach, presenting information from different sources while acknowledging the need for further investigation. The editorial stance, as reflected in the editor's column and the disclaimer about article responsibility, is to present material for members' consideration without necessarily endorsing every claim as NETI's official view.

This issue of UFO-Magasinet, dated 1995, published by UFO-Norge, focuses on the origins and nature of 'Star People' and extraterrestrial phenomena. The cover headline highlights 'The cosmic homes of Star People and space people'. The magazine features articles exploring alien civilizations, UFO sightings, and spiritual connections to the cosmos.

Content Summary

Encounter with Commander Hatonn and a 'Star City'

The issue begins with a recollection of a speech by Commander Hatonn, emphasizing the importance of contact with extraterrestrial beings for humanity's evolution. The author then recounts a visit to a 'star city,' described as a massive, self-sufficient spaceship over 50 km in diameter, housing 30,000 beings from various planets. This 'city' is encased in a transparent bubble and features crystalline buildings, parks, and natural landscapes. The author enters through an 'energy collector' and finds themselves in a peaceful meadow, guided by a being named Altairan, who explains that the 'bubbles' are transport units.

The 'Star People' and their Origins

The magazine delves into the origins of the 'Star People' (SP), who are described as volunteers from various star systems and planets within the Intergalactic Federation. It is stated that these beings are often ethereal, existing in higher dimensions. The article lists numerous planets and star systems from which SP originate, including those in our solar system like Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, as well as distant stars and constellations such as Aldebaran, Alpha Centauri, Altair, Andromeda, Antares, Arcturus, Sirius, Pleiades, and Orion. The text notes that many humans on Earth are descendants of these 'star people.'

Sananda's Message

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a message from Sananda, delivered during a gathering of 2000 Star People. Sananda addresses the 'brothers of light,' referring to them as emissaries from Earth who are about to enter the final phase of their mission. He speaks of a coming period of 'strife and unrest' before Earth is 'lifted up' and reborn. Sananda emphasizes the importance of their roles in assisting and guiding confused and frightened souls, urging them to be steadfast and shine their light.

Leif Havik's UFO Observation in Hessdalen

The magazine includes a detailed account by Leif Havik of a UFO sighting on August 23, 1983, in Hessdalen, Norway. Havik describes observing a silver, disc-shaped object emerge from an invisible portal. He notes its fuselage-like shape without wings, its construction from plates, and parts that appeared like soot-colored glass. During the observation, Havik experienced unusual physical sensations, including a tingling in his limbs, a heavy head, and a feeling of losing his will. He also heard an intense high-frequency whistling sound and felt pressure in his forehead. The object disappeared after a short time. Havik also recounts instances where the phenomenon reacted to external stimuli, such as extinguishing when a telephoto lens was directed at it or when radio communication equipment was used.

Betraktninger omkring UFO-fenomenet (Reflections on the UFO Phenomenon)

In a section reflecting on the UFO phenomenon, the author discusses their book published in 1986, which documented various UFO experiences. Initially, the author believed many UFO experiences were related to non-terrestrial visitors and physical objects. However, over time and with further reflection, the author has come to believe that these phenomena are also connected to a spiritual dimension. They suggest that observations can be part of an intricate, seemingly incomprehensible process involving consciousness and a larger plan. The author proposes a theory that UFO phenomena, often manifesting as lights, might be influenced by light sources and could involve communication between particles.

Key Factors in UFO Observation

Havik outlines three key factors he believes are important for understanding UFO phenomena:

1. Focus or Presence: The importance of being fully present and aware during an event, rather than being distracted by past or future concerns. Havik emphasizes training one's senses, particularly sight and hearing, through spending time in nature.
2. Mentally Clarified Relationship to Origin: Havik's experiences suggest that many light phenomena are physical, materialized objects controlled by intelligence, possibly of non-terrestrial origin. He notes that observations often occur when he is in a state of focused observation.
3. UFO Phenomenon as Part of a Larger 'Plan': The article posits that UFO phenomena have always existed, referencing ancient Indian texts about 'Vimanas.' It suggests that these events are not random but are part of a collective consciousness and the evolutionary development of civilization. The growing scientific consensus on the likelihood of extraterrestrial life is also mentioned.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of extraterrestrial life, UFO phenomena, and spirituality. There is a strong belief in the existence of advanced non-terrestrial intelligences interacting with Earth. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting personal accounts and theoretical frameworks that suggest a deeper, possibly spiritual, significance to UFO sightings and the presence of 'Star People.' The magazine promotes the idea that humanity is undergoing a significant evolutionary transition, with extraterrestrial beings playing a role in this process.
