Magazine Overview

Title: INTER PLAN
Issue: ÅRGÅNG 1, Nr 3
Date: 1974
Publisher: UFO-Linköping

This issue of INTER PLAN, a Swedish magazine focused on UFOs and related phenomena, delves into various reported sightings, encounters, and communications from the early 1970s, with some references extending back to the early 1960s. The content includes news reports, personal accounts, and purported communications from extraterrestrial sources.

Content Summary

Gallup Poll and Skylab Encounters

The issue begins by referencing a 1973 American Gallup survey indicating that 11% of the US adult population had observed unidentified flying objects, equating to over 15 million people, and that more than half believed UFOs were real. It also reports on NASA's acknowledgment of UFO sightings by astronauts, including those aboard Skylab II and III. Astronauts Jack Lousma, Owen Garriott, and Alan Bean reportedly observed and photographed a mysterious red object, while the next Skylab crew reported being followed by small red lights. A spokesperson for Houston control confirmed that the astronauts saw and photographed UFOs, stating, "we don't know what they saw and photographed."

Mysterious Spheres and Ohio Sightings

An article details the discovery of two stainless steel spheres in Florida, USA, in April 1974, whose origin could not be determined by five professors. One sphere, found outside a woman's house on Fort George Island, weighed 10 kg and was slightly larger than a football. It reportedly rolled on its own, driven by a mysterious force. A similar sphere was found by a young man in Jacksonville. The Marines investigated the spheres using X-rays without success and planned further analysis with spectrographs. The spheres were noted for vibrating and moving, seemingly due to a magnetic field.

Another significant report covers UFO observations between October 10-14, 1973, in the skies above Dayton, Ohio. In Union, Ohio, 20 police officers and approximately 60 civilians witnessed UFOs moving at high altitudes. Police in nearby New Lebanon contacted the Air Force radar station, which reported tracking an object they "could not explain." The Dayton authorities were inundated with calls describing red-orange, oval-shaped UFOs moving at high speed. Commissar Fred Shaner of Union police reported seeing two orange-glowing, oval objects himself, which were later joined by 20 other officers who also observed them. The objects were described as disc-shaped like flattened footballs, approximately 50 feet wide, and at an altitude of about 5000 feet. One moved west slowly, while another descended rapidly and made a wide arc north before disappearing. Other officers described glowing rings of red, white, and blue pulsating lights, with no sound, and noted they were not aircraft as they hovered. Police Chief Richard Winkler reported seeing a bright, oval object about two miles away and contacted Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, whose personnel indicated they had detected something they could not explain. The base spokesperson denied any official order to track a UFO but stated that any findings would remain unofficial. The objects reportedly hovered for 45 minutes before ascending rapidly and vanishing. Bernard Faldorf, chief of the New Lebanon fire department, corroborated the orange-glowing oval sighting with red, blue, and green rotating lights. Policeman Terry Brombaugh described an object moving faster than any aircraft he had ever seen, with flashing blue, green, and orange lights.

Los Angeles Police Pursuit

Two experienced police officers in Los Angeles pursued an oval UFO for about 3 miles at high speed on November 12, 1973. The object disappeared from sight, but not before patrolman C. C. Smith managed to take a picture from inside the car, though a forgotten flash caused a glare that obscured the image. Smith's partner, John Wynkoop, described the event as incredible and stated their belief that anything is possible regarding flying saucers. The officers were dispatched to investigate reports of a flying object. Wynkoop recounted that after finding nothing initially, a UFO appeared above them at 9:45 PM. Described as oval, without visible markings, and glowing with a blueish hue like mercury, it approached slowly at a 45-degree angle before ascending rapidly. Smith pursued it at speeds up to 70 mph. The UFO then stopped mid-air, hovered, and shot upwards at incredible speed, disappearing to the southwest. The officers lost sight of it when they drove into a dead end. Police Lieutenant Sam Chitjian also saw a large, brilliant, white-glowing object moving very fast, which disappeared after 10 seconds, only to reappear and shoot upwards. The officers were interviewed by Peter Gutilla, chief research officer at the California Research Institute, who stated he was certain they had seen a flying object under intelligent control.

Pascagoula Abduction

A detailed account is given of an alleged abduction of two fishermen, 42-year-old Charles Hickson and 18-year-old Calvin Parker, from Pascagoula, Mississippi, on October 11, 1973. While fishing near a breakwater, they heard a humming sound and saw a bright, blinking blue light that stopped and hovered a few feet above the ground. They reported seeing three beings float towards them. Hickson described being taken aboard a craft and examined by an instrument resembling a large electronic eye that covered his entire body. Parker reportedly fainted from fear. Both men maintained they were sober. Police Chief Barney Mathis confirmed their reliability, and policeman Fred Diamond stated something had happened to them. The craft was described as fish-shaped, about 3 meters long and 2.5 meters high, with occupants having pale, grey skin, no hair, long pointed ears and noses, and crab-like hands. Their faces had no visible eyes, and their feet were round without toes. The only sound was a faint humming. Dr. James Harder of the University of California expressed conviction that the men had experienced something terrifying. The men were taken to Keesler Air Force Base for examination, but no signs of radiation damage were found. The Tulsa Tribune reported on the incident, quoting Dr. Hynek who suggested the experience indicated a strange craft from another planet had landed in Mississippi. Hynek and Dr. Harder, after listening to the men under hypnosis, stated there was no doubt they had experienced something terrifying and should be protected from ridicule.

Tupelo and Bahia Blanca Sightings

Thomas Westmoreland, employed by the National Park Service, reported seeing a large, unidentified object hovering silently for 15 minutes north of Tupelo, Mississippi, on the night of October 3, 1973. The object was described as being the size of a single-family home, at an altitude of 300 meters, with red, green, and yellow blinking lights similar to those on aircraft. Arlin Mohundro from Corinth radio station reported seeing a stationary object at 30 meters altitude with red, green, and white lights, which appeared to be the size of a larger car but oval-shaped.

A report from Bahia Blanca, Argentina, dated October 29, 1973, describes a young man named Dionisio Llanca who claimed to have encountered three extraterrestrial individuals. He was found unconscious on a road near Bahia Blanca. Llanca stated he was paralyzed by a light beam and saw three white-clad beings, two men and a woman, with unusual clothing. He lost consciousness and woke up in a hospital. Further details from the magazine "Gente" describe Llanca's experience while driving his truck. He stopped due to a flat tire and noticed a yellow light that intensified, becoming bluish and resembling an electric welding arc. He felt a strange indifference and was unable to move. He saw an object hovering about 7 meters above the ground with three individuals staring at him. He was lifted by one of the men with immense strength. Another individual used a device on his finger, causing two small drops of blood to appear. He then lost consciousness. Upon waking, he found himself lying near a railway car. He later discovered that his truck had been found and that money he had in his pocket was missing, but his other documents were intact.

Bob Renaud's Experiences and Predictions

The issue includes a section detailing "Bob Renaud's Experiences," specifically "Sixth Contact" on September 30, 1961. Renaud received a message from a male voice identifying himself as "Karl-Romi." This message contained several predictions, including a serious crisis over Cuba in late 1962 due to Soviet missile bases, a rift between the Soviet Union and Communist China in 1963 over nuclear policy, a nuclear test ban treaty, and a wave of UFO sightings in late 1963 and early 1964. The predictions were presented as results of research into Earth and its governments.

Further communications are detailed, including "Seventh Radio Contact" on October 17, 1961, where "Orii-Val" predicted severe earthquakes in Europe (around Yugoslavia) and Peru during the summer of 1963, with smaller quakes in Europe and Asia later in the year. A potential earthquake in California in late 1963 or early 1964 was also mentioned. Sensitive microphones were placed in the area to monitor geological stresses.

"Eighth Radio Contact" on November 15, 1961, reported on a meeting on Saturn. Decisions made included prohibiting military spacecraft in space, preventing nuclear weapons from being placed in Earth orbit, and expecting contradictory data from Mars and Venus probes. A plan to initiate a "psycho-probe" program was approved, and "Orii-Val" was designated as the intermediary for scientific instruction to Earth. Further contact was scheduled for January 6th.

"Ninth Contact" on December 3, 1961, involved instructions for modifying TV receivers to better receive transmissions from "space friends." This was in preparation for the first television contact between Earth and "advanced brothers from other worlds" on January 6th.

"Special Contact" on December 30, 1961, established a connection with "Master Kalen-Li" from Venus. Kalen-Li referred to a council meeting on Mars where decisions were made to prevent human nations from destroying each other, and this information was to be disseminated.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of INTER PLAN are UFO sightings, alleged alien encounters, and purported communications from extraterrestrial intelligences. The magazine appears to present these accounts with a degree of seriousness, often citing police reports, scientific investigations (like those involving Dr. Hynek), and eyewitness testimonies. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, providing a platform for diverse reports and perspectives within the UFO community. The inclusion of predictions and messages from alleged extraterrestrial sources suggests a belief in ongoing contact and a desire to inform readers about these developments.

This issue of Flying Saucer Review, dated July/August 1965, with a volume of 8 and published in 1962, delves into a comprehensive interplanetary program and various UFO encounters. The content is primarily in Swedish, with some English translations of reports.

Interplanetary Program and Contact

The issue details a series of points outlining an 'Alliance's' plans for Earth, starting in 1962. These plans include:

• Point 1: An extensive mapping of Earth by 'Alliance ships' in 1962, excluding no major nation. This includes the 'Iron and Bamboo Curtain' countries.
• Point 2: A program of subconscious imprinting, gradually altering aggressive characteristics of selected individuals, to begin January 1, 1963. These individuals are noted to hold high positions.
• Point 4: The construction of six acclimatization bases on Earth within the coming months. Four will be in the United States (Massachusetts, California, near Washington D.C., and near Cape Canaveral), with others in the Swiss Alps and Siberia. Over the next three years, more than 100 underground bases are planned for agents to adapt to Earth's conditions, learn languages, customs, and emotional responses before operating undetected.
• Point 8: Agents will be placed in high government positions in many countries.
• Point 10: Public landings are planned for late 1962 or early 1963 in sparsely populated areas to gauge humanity's reaction. These landings are crucial for future actions unless drastic discoveries alter the program (later postponed due to the Cuban Crisis).
• Point 13: Future probes to nearby planets will travel beyond contact range with Earth receivers and be brought to Moon or Venus bases for study.
• Point 15: Most Moon bases will be moved underground to avoid detection by manned lunar missions planned within five years.
• Point 17: World leaders will be contacted starting in 1965 by local planetary agents to test if they will announce the contact.
• Point 20: No manned ships from Earth will be allowed to land on local planets until humanity has outgrown its warlike instincts and is ready for universal brotherhood.

The author expresses awe at the complexity of this operation and the patience required for humanity's limited understanding.

Personal Contact Promised: The contact person, 'Bob', is told he will be contacted personally in the latter part of the following year, but radio communication will continue until then. He is to be the sole voice to their world and will be given information on how to recognize these individuals.

First TV Contact: The issue details the first TV contact on January 6, 1962, around 2:00 AM. It began with a 5-minute display of an insignia and varying tones, followed by a panoramic view of Earth from a distance of 153,000 km. The image quality is described as exceptionally sharp, with a horizontal sweep frequency of 1000 lines and a vertical sweep of 120 frames per second.

Rymdskeppets Interiör Beskrives (Spaceship Interior Described): The camera then panned to the Moon and the Moon's crescent. The interior of the spaceship is described as a large circular room with a softly lit, larger, more effective version of 'Panelescent' lighting. All compartments are arranged at right angles to the ship's axis for efficiency, accessible via a central elevator shaft. The described room is the mid-section, typically a lounge where the crew relaxes, plays chess, or watches programs from two large TV studios.

Lin-Erri's Appearance and Message: The alien engineer, Lin-Erri, is described as a beautiful, blonde woman appearing to be 18-20 years old, though she states she is 74 years old in Earth's time. She is 1.60m tall, weighs 55kg, with measurements of 94-56-91. Her hair is shoulder-length and wavy, her skin light. Her attire is loose and two-piece, resembling a ski suit, with a yellow band at the waist indicating her position. She wears a brooch on her collar and a chain with a medallion. Her shoes are integrated into her trousers.

Lin-Erri conveys a message of concern from other worlds about Earth's arms race, urging humanity to wake up to the danger. She states that there is no one in other worlds who is not interested in Earth's people and that prayers are offered for humanity to realize the danger.

Krigsförberedelser Är En Magert Fredsförsäkran (War Preparations Are a Poor Peace Guarantee): She questions the logic of preparing for war to maintain peace, calling it an incomprehensible paradox.

Total Nedrustning Är Nödvändig För Att Förhindra Mänsklighetens Förintelse (Total Disarmament is Necessary to Prevent Humanity's Annihilation): Lin-Erri emphasizes that total disarmament is the only path to peace. She warns that Earth is on the brink of total annihilation and urges support for disarmament at all costs. She notes that while some nations allow demonstrations, others punish dissent, and that their work is underground in those regions.

Nya Informationer Lovade (New Information Promised): Lin-Erri states that representatives from Earth's solar system will return in August or possibly late July with vital new information. She bids farewell, wishing Bob success in his quest for peace and encouraging him to remain strong.

Rymdskeppets Elektronikingenjör Önskar Ett Experiment (Spaceship Electronics Engineer Requests an Experiment): Ken-Rol, the chief electronics engineer, asks Bob to time how long the audio and video transmitter remains on after the contact ends. This is to determine the practical range for sending information from other planets using their instruments.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

Flygande Hjul (Flying Wheel): On March 11, 1970, Mr. Donald Leonard observed a UFO over Shallow Lake, Ontario, shaped like a wheel with spokes and flashing lights. The observation lasted over an hour, and the object changed color from blue to green to clear to yellow. An OPP officer also witnessed the object.

Planetarierna Har Baser På Jorden (Planets Have Bases on Earth):

• Quilino, Córdoba, Argentina (August 20, 1957): A member of the Argentine Air Force heard a loud humming sound and saw a disc descend. He was unable to draw his revolver due to an influence from the craft.
• Ceres, Goias, Brazil (October 10, 1954): Miguel Navarrete Fernandez and his friend Guido encountered a large, luminous object described as being at least 125m wide and 35m high. Six human-like beings emerged from the craft, which hovered silently. The object then ascended rapidly.
• Pedras Negras, Rio Guaporé, Brazil (November 28, 1953): Pedro Serrate and Francisco de Assis Teixeira observed a dark blue, skiff-shaped craft, approximately 4m long, 2.5m wide, and 2m high, land on water. It had a bowl-shaped underside and a vertical structure made of glass. Six people, three men and three women, with red hair and fair skin, were inside. The craft took off silently at extreme speed.

Philosophical Musings and Quotes

The issue includes several short, philosophical statements:

• "Where there is a goal, there is also a will."
• "It is not enough to want; one must also act."
• "Unity is strength."
• "As one sows, so shall one reap."
• "Mammon has more worshippers than the Creator."
• "Deeds are fruits, words are only leaves."
• "One recognizes the tree by its fruits."
• "Children and ufologists speak the truth."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the reality of extraterrestrial contact, the existence of alien bases on Earth, and the urgent need for global disarmament. The editorial stance is clearly pro-contact and pro-disarmament, presenting alien messages as vital warnings and guidance for humanity's survival. The magazine actively promotes the idea that humanity is on a dangerous path due to its warlike nature and that external intervention is necessary for its salvation. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for a peaceful, universal brotherhood if humanity can overcome its aggressive instincts.
