Three Humanoids Sighted in Sweden

The main article details an encounter by Kurt Nilsson near Trehörningsjö in Sweden on October 18, 1977. Nilsson, a 35-year-old radio enthusiast, was at a TV and radio transmission station on Hemliden mountain when he experienced severe radio interference. He then observed an object with a dome, approximately 2 meters in diameter, and three humanoid figures standing nearby, described as about one meter tall and wearing 'space suits'. These figures were grey and clearly visible in the craft's light. When Nilsson turned on his car's headlights, the figures and the object disappeared. Shortly after, they reappeared, blocking the road. One figure held what looked like a spade or shovel, and when pointed towards Nilsson's car, the headlights and engine shut down. The figures then crossed the road, and the car started again. Nilsson, deeply shaken, drove away.

He later learned that Kjell Näslund, the station director, had a similar experience at the same location nine years prior.

Nilsson's account is corroborated by the fact that his and his wife Eva's watches were out of sync with the house clock after the event. Eva also noted unusual behavior from their dog.

A Giant OVNI Landing at the Same Location in 1969!

This section recounts Kjell Näslund's experience on March 12, 1969. While at the transmission station, he witnessed a large OVNI, estimated to be 150 meters in diameter, hovering near the station. He described a tunnel of grey-blue light leading into the object, from which about a dozen 'box-shaped' individuals, approximately 1.30-1.35 meters tall and 30-40 centimeters wide, emerged and floated. These beings were described as cloud-like, without solid contours, and moved slowly. Näslund experienced a temporary paralysis, feeling compelled to stay and keep the door open. He noted that the beings moved within 20 centimeters of him but did not touch him. He described an impression that creatures were inside the boxes and wanted to protect themselves. The OVNI emitted a humming sound and a shimmering light. After about five to ten minutes, the beings were drawn back into the object, which then departed northward.

Näslund reported the incident to the police, who took his statement seriously.

Strange Footprints

Investigator Reinhold Carleby visited the landing site and reported finding a dry birch tree with a white mark on its trunk, about 2.80 meters from the ground, suggesting the object hovered at that height without touching the ground. He also found two piles of moss, one from the landing site and another from across the road where Nilsson encountered the humanoids. Carleby identified several categories of footprints: those of journalists, those of Mr. and Mrs. Nilsson, and those of small humanoids with a cross on the heel and short, wide, rounded feet.

Nilsson's description of the 1977 encounter suggests there might have been six humanoids working in two teams, as they appeared to move rapidly from the object's location to the road where he saw them stop his car.

Nilsson described the object as plate-shaped with a dome, emitting a diffuse blue light. He stated that the humanoids' suits were grey and made of a plastic-like material, with white boots integrated into the suit. Their helmets resembled astronaut helmets with eye openings.

Both Nilsson and Näslund are described as reliable and honest individuals.

Were there more than three?

This section speculates on the number of humanoids and their purpose. The collection of moss samples is noted as a potential activity. The rapid movement from the object to the road suggests multiple beings.

Be Simply Credulous

This short section critiques a sensationalized news report about an extraterrestrial with ten tentacles allegedly found in Portugal. The author, Michel Bougard, expresses skepticism about the story, highlighting its lack of detail and the potential for financial gain (selling photographs for $1000 USD). He criticizes the press for readily publishing such stories that discredit serious ufological research, contrasting it with the difficulty of getting credible UFO information published.

Service Libra

This section is a catalog of books available for purchase related to UFOs and related phenomena, including titles like 'Des soucoupes volantes', 'La nouvelle vague', 'Mystérieuses chroniques de la nuit', and 'Les disparitions de militaires'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine focuses on detailed accounts of UFO sightings and encounters, particularly those involving humanoids. It presents witness testimonies, investigative findings, and historical cases, emphasizing the credibility of the witnesses. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into UFO phenomena, as evidenced by the detailed reporting and the critique of sensationalized or unsubstantiated claims in the 'Soyez simplement crédules' section. The publication aims to inform readers about alleged extraterrestrial encounters and related research.
