Title: DEN FLYVENDE TALLERKEN

Issue: Number 4 - 2012

Publisher: NETI (Norsk Organisasjon for Studiet av Utenomjordisk Intelligens)

Content Focus: This issue of NETI's member magazine covers a diverse range of topics including UFO sightings, ancient civilizations, conferences, and book recommendations. The editor, Jan Erik Bergfjord, notes that this is the fourth issue of the year, with plans for more to follow. The main themes for this issue are lectures, books, UFO observations, and Antarctica.

Editor's Corner (Redaktørens Hjørne)

Jan Erik Bergfjord, the editor, reflects on the year 2012, which saw the publication of only three issues prior to this one, making this the fourth. He expresses a desire to include more content about real-life Norwegian UFO observations, finding them more engaging than translated foreign articles. The year 2012 was marked by numerous UFO conferences, including two organized in Bergen by Terje Wulfsberg and Ann-Kristin Normann, and the "The Return of the Gods" conference held in both Bergen and Oslo. Terje Toftenes and Kim Stensbøl also organized a lecture with Richard Dolan in Oslo. Bergfjord himself attended the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA) annual conference in London.

He also touches upon the Mayan calendar's predicted end of the world on December 21, 2012, criticizing the media's sensationalism and lack of understanding. Bergfjord believes that the increased media attention and social media activity surrounding this event may have led many to become more aware and seek knowledge about the world and the universe, fostering a belief that humanity is not alone. He expresses hope that this trend will continue in 2013 and that NETI will contribute to it. The editor wishes all NETI members a Happy New Year.

Chinese Pyramids

This article discusses the existence of large, ancient pyramids in China, which mainstream archaeologists and Chinese authorities have long denied. However, with the increasing availability of modern technology and satellite imagery, their presence is becoming undeniable. These pyramids are not mentioned in Chinese schools and are considered a state secret. A guide is quoted as saying that "The 100 white pyramids in China are actually forbidden" and cannot be visited by the public, with access restricted to a few Chinese researchers. Foreign archaeologists and scientists are denied entry, as they are considered a national secret. The article speculates that these pyramids might contain sensational information that the Chinese authorities do not wish to disclose.

It is noted that these Chinese pyramids are located on the same latitude as the Egyptian pyramids. Some walls of the nearly 500-meter-high Uyghur pyramid are covered with words and symbols in proto-Turkic, an ancient language used in regions spanning modern-day Turkey, Uzbekistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Afghanistan. This suggests that these structures are not tombs of ancient kings, as is often speculated for Egyptian pyramids, but rather ancient structures with a different origin.

The article asserts that large pyramids are found not only in Egypt and South America but also in various other locations worldwide, including Cambodia and underwater off the coast of Japan. It also mentions a pyramid currently being excavated in Bosnia, which might be the world's largest and oldest. The author suggests that a vast network of these exceptional structures exists, demonstrating advanced knowledge of astronomy and engineering. Some archaeologists believe they date back to 10,000 BC, or even earlier, indicating the presence of a highly advanced civilization in antiquity that is not yet recognized by mainstream historians. The article concludes that current history books are likely full of factual errors.

UFO Observation in Bergen City Center

This section recounts a UFO sighting that occurred on December 31, 2012, at midnight. Rosa Johannessen and three family members were on her terrace in Bergen, Norway, to watch fireworks. They observed a red light over Sandviksfjellet, initially mistaking it for a helicopter. The object remained stationary, blinking red and white, resembling a shining Christmas ornament and distinct from the fireworks. As they became more engrossed, the object moved closer, stopping directly over the National Theatre (Den Nasjonale Scene) in Bergen, approximately 200 meters away. At this point, the blinking stopped, and the object emitted a strong, steady, burgundy-red light. It then moved back, stopped again over Fløyfjellet, and moved away silently, described as a round, burgundy-red sphere with a halo, moving as if on rails.

The witnesses felt it was remotely controlled. They estimated its size to be at least one meter in diameter and noted its clarity. The observation lasted about five minutes. The witness mentioned that a friend's acquaintance in Åsane had a similar experience that same New Year's Eve with a red object. When contacted, a journalist from Bergensavisen suggested it was likely "Chinese lanterns." The witness stated that the observed object did not resemble Chinese lanterns and questioned how it could move closer and then turn back.

Secrets in Antarctica (Fortsettelse fra forrige nummer)

This article continues a piece from a previous issue, translated from UFO Magazine. It focuses on unusual activities in the Lake Vostok region of Antarctica and "Operation High Jump." The current section includes a letter from Dr. Richard Sauder, an expert on subterranean bases and author of "Hidden in Plain Sight - Beyond the X-files," to UFO Magazine's editor, Graham W. Birdsall.

Dr. Sauder expresses no surprise at unusual findings in Antarctica, having spent time researching obscure archival evidence. He believes that unusual events occur there that are not reported to the public. He speculates on several possibilities:

1. Ancient Civilizations: He agrees with authors like Graham Hancock and Michael Cremo that advanced human civilizations existed on Earth in the distant past, suggesting humanity is merely the latest iteration of a cyclical existence.
2. Nazi Bases: He considers the rumors of a high-tech Nazi base in Antarctica to be potentially true, questioning if World War II ended as commonly taught.
3. Non-Human Presence: He suggests that humanity might not be alone and that other species, possibly with superior technology, might inhabit isolated areas like Antarctica, the deep ocean, or underground to avoid contact with humans, given humanity's destructive nature.
4. Galactic Origin: He posits that Earth's species might originate from elsewhere in the galaxy and that their presence on Earth is a well-kept secret, perhaps to maintain humanity in a primitive state.

He also discusses the unusual geological and meteorological phenomena in polar regions, including anomalies in time and space potentially linked to magnetic anomalies under Lake Vostok. He questions if these anomalies are being used to influence Earth's magnetic field for specific purposes, possibly to keep humanity in a state of "slumber" and prevent them from realizing their full potential or sovereignty.

Fossilized Trees: Sauder mentions a color photograph of what are allegedly "fossilized" tree twigs found in Antarctica by the National Science Foundation. He notes that the wood appears remarkably fresh, like dry twigs found on a forest floor, suggesting they are not truly fossilized but are only a few thousand years old. The wood is identified as southern beech (Nothofagus), a species found in other Southern Hemisphere regions. He recounts an incident where a professor at Leeds University, an expert on fossilized Antarctic wood, became suspicious when he inquired about obtaining a sample, refusing to provide one and questioning if he intended to carbon-date it.

Sauder hypothesizes that if he had carbon-dated the wood and found it to be 5,000-9,000 years old, it would challenge existing assumptions about Antarctica, ice ages, and Earth's geological history. He also mentions that branches, stems, and roots of Nothofagus have been discovered near the Beardmore Glacier, approximately 500 km from the South Pole, citing a scientific paper by Burckle and Pokras.

Other Findings: Sauder also obtained slides from the National Science Foundation labeled "Archaeologists looking for fossils in the Dry Valleys." He notes that archaeologists are interested in human traces, yet the academic consensus is that there was no indigenous human population in Antarctica. He also found a document from a Chilean research institute detailing the discovery of clearly worked stone fragments by fishermen in shallow Antarctic waters, hinting at an ancient human presence and forests.

Personal Anecdotes: Sauder shares two anecdotes related to UFOs. He met Madeleine Rodeffer, who filmed a UFO in 1965 with George Adamski and others present. She described seeing figures with human-like faces, around 20-30 years old, with closely cropped hair, resembling a military haircut. In another case, a person abducted in Texas recalled a symbol on the craft that was a swastika surrounded by golden stars.

Antarctic Supply Associates (ASA): Sauder visited ASA, a non-governmental firm working with the US Navy and NSF. He inquired about the possibility of an ancient civilization in Antarctica and was directed to a geologist in the same building. This geologist was working closely with the NSF and had a large Egyptian sarcophagus in his office. He suggested that Egyptian hieroglyphs, thousands of years old, might one day be found in Antarctica, which Sauder finds a striking response.

Sauder concludes that there is more to Antarctica than just ice and penguins, suggesting the existence of significant, hidden information.

Dr. Richard Sauder's Books: The article lists three of his books: "Underground Bases and Tunnels: What is the Government Trying to Hide?" (1995), "Underwater and Underground Bases" (2001), and "Hidden in Plain Sight: Beyond the X-Files" (2010).

Meeting with UFO-Rogaland

Berit Oftedal of NETI attended several meetings with the UFO-Rogaland association (formerly Stavanger UFO Forening) in the autumn of 2012, providing a report on these gatherings.

Meeting at Varatun Gård, December 7, 2012:

Robert Moklev shared his UFO experience from 1966. While working as a sailor on a boat in Vancouver, en route to Japan via Hawaii, the ship's machinery suddenly stopped functioning on March 20th, approximately 14 days after passing Hawaii. All instruments failed, and clocks stopped. Moklev, who had just come from the engine room, observed two shining, bluish objects hanging in the air. He described them as spinning in the middle section while the top and bottom parts remained stationary. He felt the experience was divine and fantastic, so intense that he had difficulty breathing. Other crew members also witnessed the event. Moklev estimated the objects to be about 30 meters in diameter and hovering about 200 meters away for 15 minutes before disappearing instantly, at which point all the ship's systems resumed normal function.

The crew initially concluded it was "some American stuff." Upon reaching Japan, individuals from the USA boarded the ship and had Moklev sign a non-disclosure agreement. He suspected they were from security. After returning home, Moklev built a model of the object he had seen. He later found a picture in George Adamski's book "Flying Saucers Have Landed" that was identical to his model and what they had witnessed.

Founding of UFO-Rogaland:

Robert Moklev, along with others, founded the Stavanger UFO Forening on April 4, 1967. On that day, during a meeting, an attendee announced that a satellite was visible in the sky. They went outside and observed an object moving up and down and in a zigzag pattern. This event is recorded in the organization's meticulous protocol, suggesting it is the oldest UFO association in the country. Today, it is known as UFO Rogaland and remains an active organization.

Robert Moklev is shown displaying a model of the UFO he saw in 1966. The article also features a picture of the association's former leader, Robert Moklev, and the current leader, Sven Kåre Helland.

BUFORA Conference 2012

As NETI's editor, Berit Oftedal attended the 50th BUFORA conference in London, which took place in September 2012. The conference, held at the Holliday Inn near Kings Cross, London, began on Saturday, September 22nd, at 10:00 AM. Approximately 70 people attended the opening, predominantly men with an average age of 50.

Lionel Beer: One of the founders of BUFORA in 1962, Lionel Beer, opened the conference with historical accounts. He mentioned threats from the Church of Scientology following a critical article about their books in BUFORA's magazine in the 1980s, and how the organization had been surveilled and its phones tapped by authorities, and infiltrated by far-right groups. He was described as a pleasant and sharp man.

Heather Dixon: BUFORA's Investigations Co-ordinator, Heather Dixon, delivered the first lecture of the day. She discussed "High strangeness reports," which include encounters with extraterrestrials, implants, and missing time. Oftedal was surprised by the skeptical stance of BUFORA, noting that Dixon attributed most of these cases to hallucinations, dreams, and fantasies fueled by watching shows like "X-Files." However, Dixon acknowledged that witnesses are not unintelligent, suggesting they simply "don't understand what they are seeing."

Book Sales: Hundreds of UFO-related books were available for sale at the conference entrance, with the author purchasing 3-4 titles.

John Spencer: A consultant for BUFORA, John Spencer, gave the third lecture of the day to an audience of about 120 people. He also presented a skeptical viewpoint, with his lecture summarized as an attempt to debunk Kenneth Arnold, George Adamski, and Villas Boas.

Home with Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard

This section features a cartoon by Lars Lauvik, which the editor found amusing and decided to include in the NETI newsletter. The cartoon depicts a couple in bed, with one person exclaiming "WOW! WHAT A SPECTACULAR SHOW! CASCADES OF SOUND AND SMELLS WERE THROWN INTO THE ROOM, AND A FANTASTIC AMOUNT OF ENERGY WAS RELEASED AS 'LILLEKNUT' FIRED OFF, RIGHT INSIDE THE BLACK HOLE! AND ALL THIS IN JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS! FANTASTIC!" The other person responds, "YES. FANTASTIC..." The editor contacted Lars Lauvik for permission to publish the cartoon, and Lauvik graciously agreed.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena, witness testimonies, and potential extraterrestrial or advanced ancient civilizations. There's a particular interest in unusual findings in remote locations like Antarctica, suggesting a hidden history. The editorial stance, as indicated by the editor's notes and the content selection, leans towards open-minded investigation of these phenomena, while also acknowledging skeptical viewpoints, particularly at conferences like BUFORA. The magazine aims to inform its members about ongoing research, events, and new publications within the ufology community.

This issue of NETI, published in 2013, focuses on UFO phenomena, conferences, and related literature. It features reports from a UFO conference held in London, book reviews, and interviews with authors and researchers in the field. The magazine also includes press clippings on recent UFO sightings in Norway and discusses the handling of such news by Norwegian media.

London UFO Conference

The magazine details a UFO conference attended by the author, highlighting interactions with international UFO researchers like Ole Jonny Brænne from UFO-Norge and Clas Svahn from UFO-Sverige. Jenny Randles, a former investigator for BUFORA, presented a skeptical view on the Rendlesham Forest incident, suggesting it might not have an extraterrestrial origin, though she offered no alternative explanation. Lionel Fanthorpe, a prolific author and former head of BUFORA, gave a presentation on six possible explanations for UFO phenomena, including time ships, parallel universes, and government experiments. Clas Svahn discussed the UFO Sweden archive (AFU) and presented on 'Ghost Rockets' that appeared over Scandinavia after World War II. The conference also featured Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos discussing the 'fotocat database,' a planned global archive of UFO photographs.

Key Presentations and Topics

John Hanson and Dawn Holloway shared their recent experiences and observations related to the Rendlesham Forest incident, presenting new photos and a film of moving lights. They also brought stones found in the Rendlesham Forest area, which were reportedly warm and emitted sounds when found, but have not been geologically examined. They also presented an alleged extraterrestrial implant removed from Elaine Waite, which was reportedly examined at Manchester University and found to be organic and hydrocarbon-based.

Geoff Falla discussed the 'vehicle effect,' where cars stop due to UFOs, particularly in Hampshire and Wiltshire, UK. He also touched upon 'ley lines' and their potential connection to UFO sightings. Richard Conway presented on 'In the mind of madness,' linking UFOs to free energy technology and government suppression. His father, Stan Conway, a physicist and electrician, spoke about time/space/gravity physics, stating that 'The field around a ufo gets its energy from light.' Dave Newton discussed 'The Fascination of UFOs,' explaining concepts like Warp Drive.

Book Recommendations

The magazine features a section dedicated to recommended books. Erich von Däniken is highlighted for his extensive work on 'ancient aliens.' Steven M. Greer's 'Hidden Truth - Forbidden Knowledge' and 'Extraterrestrial Contact' are recommended for their detailed evidence and VIP testimonies. Torgeir Hansen recommends 'The Day After Roswell' by Philip J. Corso and William J. Birnes, and 'The Alien Chronicles' by Matthew Hurley. Zecharia Sitchin's work, particularly 'The Lost Book of Enki,' is praised for its detailed account of our solar system's history and the creation of humans by an extraterrestrial race. 'Wonders in the Sky' by Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck is recommended for its comprehensive documentation of UFO observations from antiquity to 1880. Finally, Rolf Kenneth Myhre's new Norwegian book, 'Menneskets Historie' (Human History), is introduced, which interprets Sumerian texts and the Anunnaki.

Interview with Rolf Kenneth Myhre

An interview with Rolf Kenneth Myhre, author of 'Menneskets Historie,' delves into his research based on Zecharia Sitchin's work. Myhre explains the Anunnaki as extraterrestrials from the planet Nibiru who influenced human history and created humans. He discusses the challenges of writing and publishing in Norwegian and expresses a desire to counter the prevailing materialistic worldview by offering insights into 'Reality's world.' He also mentions his ongoing work on a book about an international oligarchic network.

Press Clippings and Media Coverage

The issue includes a section of 'Selected Press Clippings' from November 2012. Reports include sightings of a 'light ball' in Møre og Romsdal and Sjøholt, Norway, described as a UFO by witnesses, though an astronomer suggests it might have been a meteor. A 20-year-old report from Telemarksavisen Telen about UFO sightings in Heddalsveien is also featured. The Hessdalen phenomenon is mentioned, with its website receiving significant traffic. A report from Bergen details two witnesses independently observing a large red sphere in the sky.

NETI's Inquiry to the Press

Jan Erik Bergfjord, editor of NETI, sent an inquiry to several Norwegian news outlets asking how UFO observations are handled by the media, noting the greater attention given to such events internationally. He questions whether UFO sightings are generally dismissed as meteorites and if there's a conscious decision to overlook them, possibly due to external influences.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the study of extraterrestrial intelligence and UFO phenomena, encouraging member participation and the sharing of experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting both firsthand accounts and skeptical viewpoints, while also advocating for a broader understanding of history and reality beyond conventional scientific paradigms. The emphasis on book recommendations and detailed case studies suggests a commitment to providing in-depth information to its readership.
