Editorial Introduction

The editorial, penned by Y. Freij, welcomes the bright and warm season, encouraging readers to venture outdoors and bring their cameras. It highlights the value of photographic evidence in UFOlogy, stating that a single clear image is the most valuable asset an ufologist can present to skeptics. The editor notes a recent scarcity of interesting reports but urges increased vigilance in nature, suggesting this scarcity should spur greater attention.

Adamski Visits Saturnus

This section details sensational claims made by George Adamski regarding an interplanetary conference on Saturnus. The information is presented as being from a bi-monthly letter (No. 29, July-Aug. 1962) by The New Zealand Scientific Space Research, translated by Lennart Lind and Gert Carlsson. The article explains that the information was kept confidential but is now being released. It describes a significant event that occurred approximately four months prior to the letter's publication. Adamski reportedly left Earth on March 26, 1962, in a spaceship from Saturnus to attend an interplanetary conference on the planet Saturnus. The spaceship landed on a US military airbase on March 24, and the conference took place on March 27, 29, and 30. The journey from Earth to Saturnus took only nine hours. This event is presented as the first time a representative from Earth has attended such a conference, emphasizing that humanity is part of a system of planets connected by cosmic law.

Adamski's personal report describes the conference, which involved twelve representatives from different planets, each with their own symbol. The first day (March 27) was for introductions and lasted three hours. March 28 was dedicated to sightseeing and entertainment. The main conference sessions were on March 29 and 30. Adamski describes the planet's cities and landscapes as incredibly beautiful, with roads made of flowers and electromagnetic vehicles that hover above them. He notes that his camera negatives were destroyed or blank upon return, possibly due to the spaceship's force field. He emphasizes the advanced architecture and the harmonious, respectful nature of the inhabitants, who live as one large family. He reflects on the concept of cosmic law and the importance of surrendering one's ego to a higher will, suggesting that this is the path to true fulfillment.

Miscellaneous News (Blandat Aktuellt)

Continent on the Bottom

A Russian scientist, Georgij Lindberg, reports that new findings suggest an entire continent is buried 5000 meters deep at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Lindberg, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Zoological Institute, developed a new biogeographical method for exploring oceanic fauna.

New Planet Discovered

American astronomer Peter van de Kamp has reported the discovery of a new planet in space. This planet orbits not our sun, but the star known as 'Barnard's Star,' which is the second closest star to our solar system. Van de Kamp has been photographing Barnard's Star since 1938 and, through meticulous measurements, found evidence of an unknown celestial body. The new planet is described as being about one and a half times larger than Jupiter and may be cold and dead, but it is seen as a sign that the universe is full of intelligent, civilized life.

Lost Russian Cosmonauts?

An announcement on Danish radio on May 25 reported that five Russian cosmonauts had died in space. This information was reportedly obtained from radio intercepts in England, France, Sweden (Enköping), and West Germany, and was allegedly supported by statements from a spokesman for US Senator Clinton, Mr. P. Anderson, who chaired the Senate's space science committee. Anderson indicated that a report on Russian failures was to be made public but was still classified.

This news appears to corroborate a sensational article titled "The Lost Russian Cosmonauts" published in FATE Magazine in July 1962.

"Flying Saucers" Landed in Buenos Aires

This report details an incident where a twin-engine mail plane from Bogota made an unusual, near-crash landing at Buenos Aires airport. Eyewitnesses described the plane descending erratically with its engines failing. Upon inspection, the plane was found to be empty; the pilots had vanished. Inquiries in Bogota confirmed the pilots had departed in good spirits. The article questions whether they jumped mid-flight over the South American jungles or if something else occurred. The co-pilot's seat contained a note stating, "We are stunned. Our hands tremble. We can hardly hold the control stick. Such a peculiar and gigantic flying body south of Santa Cruz we have never seen." Bloodstains were found on the co-pilot's and pilot's seats. The plane itself showed no signs of mechanical failure that would necessitate abandoning it, and the mystery of how it landed safely without pilots remains unsolved.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently features themes of space exploration, UFO phenomena, and interplanetary travel, often presenting extraordinary claims with a degree of seriousness. The editorial stance encourages reader participation through submissions and emphasizes the importance of evidence, particularly photographic, in the study of unidentified aerial phenomena. There is a clear interest in the potential for life beyond Earth and in the philosophical implications of such discoveries, as seen in Adamski's reflections on cosmic harmony and spiritual evolution. The magazine also includes news items on scientific discoveries and unexplained events, reflecting a broad curiosity about the unknown.

This issue of UFO-Nachrichten, identified as Nr 76 and dated December 1962, features a prominent cover headline "Tefaten Talar!" (Flying Saucers Speak!). The magazine is in Swedish and appears to be a continuation of ongoing discussions on UFO phenomena and related topics.

Article: Mysterious Aircraft Incident

The issue begins by referencing a report from the "Sindelfinger Zeitung" dated October 16, 1954. This article describes an incident where a course was automatically set for an aircraft, which, despite numerous coincidences, did not crash. The text questions how such a machine could have executed a landing maneuver, raising speculation about the forces behind it. It notes that the fate of the pilots remains unknown, and the incident is so extraordinary that the aircraft, now housed in an airplane factory, is often viewed with apprehension. No explanation has been found, and the mystery persists unless one of the pilots reappears.

Article: Russian Parachutist's Abduction Claim

Following the German report, the magazine presents a translated account from UFO-Nachrichten Nr 76, titled "Högst häpnadsväckande nyheter från Ryssland" (Most Astonishing News from Russia). This section details the story of a Russian female parachutist who, after jumping from a plane, was allegedly abducted by a flying saucer mid-flight. The pilot who had descended to wait for her found her three days later in a different location. Her explanation was that she had been captured by a flying saucer and taken far from Earth. She was later returned with a message intended for high authorities, but the content of this message was never published.

Article: The Nike Zeus Anti-Robot System

Another significant article, "AMERIKANSK ANTIROBOT-ROBOT" (American Anti-Robot Robot), discusses the ongoing development of anti-robot systems by both the Soviet Union and the USA. It highlights the US "Nike Zeus" weapon, which has successfully intercepted the warhead of an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. Testing and development of the Nike Zeus take place on the small Pacific island of Kwajalein. The system is described as a comprehensive robot system with four separate radar-guided electronic brains that detect targets, identify them as friend or foe, calculate their trajectory, and then launch a Nike Zeus missile to destroy the enemy. The system is capable of tracking and destroying multiple enemy robots almost simultaneously. The article mentions that intensive tests are conducted in cooperation with the army and air force, involving the launch of intercontinental missiles like the Atlas from bases such as Vandenberg and Patrick, which are then intercepted by Nike Zeus over the Pacific Ocean.

Article: "Tefaten Talar!" (Flying Saucers Speak!)

This section, subtitled "av Poul Kastrup (Psykisk Forum, Danmark)", reviews a book by UFO researcher George Hunt Williamson, titled "Tefaten Talar!". Williamson's interest in flying saucers was sparked by Donald Keyhoe's work. However, Williamson's research diverged by incorporating a strong psychic element. He, along with his wife and friends, formed a group to establish contact with flying saucers, initially through automatic writing. What began as a social game evolved into something significant due to the messages received. The article notes skepticism surrounding automatic writing and planchette use, but asserts that evidence later emerged supporting psychic contact with these beings. Mr. Bailey, a member of Williamson's group, connected with a radio amateur, Mr. R., who agreed to attempt radio contact. Mr. R. picked up unusual signals on his receiver, which he later identified as messages previously received through psychic means. A control experiment where Mr. R. changed frequencies mid-transmission resulted in an immediate response, convincing him of the reality of the contact. The article explains that radio and psychic contacts began to work together, despite facing obstacles from atmospheric conditions and unofficial government interference. A government representative informed Mr. R. that they were aware of all communications with the flying saucers and emphasized that while the government believed in them, proof would be difficult to provide. The representative also mentioned that fifteen other amateurs had received similar signals and were willing to cooperate with the government, subtly threatening Mr. R. with the loss of his license if he did not comply. However, it seemed the flying saucers lost interest in maintaining contact with Mr. R.

Williamson's book compiles various messages, which he asserts are authentic. These messages suggest the existence of an interplanetary "brotherhood" that observes Earth with attention and some anxiety, bound by a "universal law" that prevents direct intervention. The article implies that extraordinary measures are being taken in space concerning events on Earth. Messages from entities named "Zo" and "Regga" are quoted, indicating imminent radio communication and the use of advanced, different apparatuses. Williamson concludes that these extraterrestrials would not intervene to prevent a nuclear war due to the universal law.

Article: Cosmic Cloud and Future of Humanity

The discussion continues with the concept of a vast cosmic cloud, composed of various gases, which is gradually condensing into a new sun. This phenomenon is expected to significantly impact Earth's climate and eventually make life on the planets impossible, potentially necessitating humanity's emigration into space. The article suggests that Earth is currently at the edge of this cloud, and it will take thousands of years to reach its denser parts. The increasing cosmic radiation is predicted to affect organic life and raise the vibration rate of the planet. Williamson's work is presented as aligning with other authors who discuss similar perspectives on the future.

Article: Ancient History and Cataclysms

The final section, "DÅ VÄRLDEN VAR MYCKET UNG" (When the World Was Very Young), appears to be the concluding part of a serial. It describes a period of intense conflict and the development of terrible weapons, leading to widespread destruction, mutations, and diseases. In this dire time, a group of enlightened priests created thin gold plates inscribed with their history, maps of the heavens, and warnings about the misuse of knowledge. These plates, along with samples of weapons, tools, and other valuable items, were hidden to serve as a lesson for future generations. The text recounts a catastrophic event involving a "terrible cloud" that caused massive floods, earthquakes, and volcanic activity, leading to the near-annihilation of humanity. Only a few survivors, guided by the priests' warnings, managed to escape. The narrative describes the survivors adapting to primitive conditions and eventually forming new tribes. Some settled in areas that would become Egypt and China. The text mentions a specific group that became the ancestors of the modern Tibetan people, who preserved the gold plates containing ancient knowledge. The narrative then shifts to a description of a city preserved in ice, identified as a former dwelling place of scientists from another race who caused a catastrophe on Earth through their experiments.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-Nachrichten include extraterrestrial contact, advanced technology (particularly missile defense), psychic phenomena, and speculative theories about cosmic events and ancient history. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various claims and research findings, even those that challenge conventional understanding. There is a clear interest in bridging the gap between physical evidence and psychic or esoteric interpretations of UFO phenomena and humanity's place in the universe. The magazine seems to aim at informing its readers about current developments in UFO research, military technology, and alternative historical narratives.

This document is page 20 from an issue of the magazine "GALAX", identified by the issue number "20". The content is in Swedish and appears to be from a publication focused on ufology and speculative topics.

Narrative Account of Exploration

The primary content on this page is a narrative describing an exploration of unusually large buildings. The narrator and companions, driven by a shared impulse, ventured out to investigate nearby structures. They were struck by the immense scale of the buildings, which seemed designed for beings twice the size of ordinary humans. These beings are referred to as 'overmen' ('övermänniskor').

Upon entering some of these structures, they found them to be colossal. One building, in particular, seemed to be a laboratory containing peculiar devices. A notable device was described as a box-like apparatus that allowed viewers to see the human aura. The color of the aura could supposedly indicate a person's health status, with signs of impending illness appearing in the aura long before physical symptoms manifested. The text mentions that more such peculiar apparatuses were found, many of which were still functional.

Acknowledgments and Greetings

Following the narrative, there is a section where the editor expresses gratitude for voluntary contributions. Specific thanks are extended to Rune Fersson (M.I.S.), Hilding Näslund (Bjästa), and Lennart Lind (I.S.). The editor also thanks the readership for their interest shown in GALAX.

End of Term and Summer Wishes

Another section announces that the term has concluded with the June meeting. The board of M.I.S. (Malmö Interplanetariska Sällskap) thanks its members for the enjoyable time spent together. Finally, the editor and the board extend warm summer wishes to all their friends and look forward to meeting again in the autumn.

Publisher Information

A second page (page 2) contains the logo "MIS" and the text "MALMÖ INTERPLANETARISKA SÄLLSKAP" (Malmö Interplanetary Society), along with an address: "Fack 2012 - Malmö 2". This confirms the publisher and the society associated with the magazine.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this excerpt are exploration of the unknown, encounters with advanced or non-human intelligence, and the potential for technology to reveal hidden aspects of human health (like aura reading). The editorial stance appears to be one of appreciation for reader engagement and contributions, fostering a sense of community among members of the Malmö Interplanetary Society, and maintaining a focus on speculative and potentially extraterrestrial subjects.
