This issue of Kontakt Programmet, published in Danish, focuses on the complex relationship between UFO phenomena and global politics, suggesting a deliberate cover-up by world powers. The cover features striking artwork depicting a flying saucer, a large unidentified object, and a stylized globe, hinting at extraterrestrial or advanced technological themes.

UFOerne og verdenspolitiken (UFOs and World Politics)

This extensive article, presented as a continuation, argues that contemporary society, particularly in Denmark, remains ignorant of the significant issues surrounding UFOs. It criticizes political parties for lacking any explanation or understanding of what has transpired since 1947 regarding UFOs. The author questions whether a few hundred individuals in positions of power are responsible for this secrecy, positing that they might be paid to remain uninformed. A politician's statement reveals a focus on constituent concerns rather than broader issues, indicating a lack of engagement with the UFO phenomenon.

The article outlines a situation where politicians await information from the military and official science. The military, specifically the army and navy, claim incompetence, while the air force states they have not been tasked with investigating UFOs and lack the necessary resources, suggesting that the Americans should handle it due to their funding. The air force also defers to science, which in turn requires a prototype of a 'flying saucer' for study, creating a stalemate. Consequently, politicians ignore the 'flying traffic' in the sky, preventing the establishment of an official body for systematic investigation.

Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Portugal, and Switzerland were reportedly close to revealing new realities concerning UFOs. However, the major powers allegedly intervened. A secret agreement was supposedly made at the Geneva Conference in July 1955 by the USA, Russia, England, and France to keep the existence of this 'flying traffic' secret from the public, instead focusing propaganda on space conquest. The article suggests that current discussions about flying to the Moon are a diversion from the electromagnetic technology of UFOs, serving as 'opium for the people.'

Significant sums are spent on experiments that, while presented as scientific progress, primarily serve military purposes, such as guiding intercontinental rockets with satellites. The author contends that direct contact with this 'flying traffic,' organized globally, would lead to faster scientific advancements than current methods. The article criticizes current rocket propulsion systems as a 'wrong path' and states that human plans for space travel are purely theoretical. It suggests that the real goal should be survival from nuclear war, not space travel.

The article posits that a peaceful coexistence between East and West is impossible without official disclosure of 'new realities.' The US and Russia are expected to continue mutual suspicion, with any agreements serving as secret war preparations. If UFOs did not exist, the US might logically wait for the 'end of communism' before negotiating trade concessions that would aid Russia and China. Conversely, Russia would continue to fuel revolts to conceal its armament behind agreements. The author questions the future of the US and Europe in the face of the military buildup by Russia, China, and India.

It is suggested that the 'white race' will eventually be overtaken by the 'colored race' unless a preventive war is waged. The article warns that if the truth about UFOs is not revealed, a world conflict might occur accidentally due to misjudgment, as has happened before. The 'non-terrestrial pilots' reportedly believe that things are escalating towards a nuclear war but cannot act 'preventively' to avoid an attack. However, they have stated that all nuclear weapons would be destroyed immediately if a new world war were to break out.

Et blik ud i rummet (A Look into Space)

This section features an article by Dr. Dan Q. Posin, a physics professor and radio advisor. He addresses the persistent reports of flying saucers, stating that such observations continue month after month and are likely to persist. Posin shares a personal experience from over 20 years prior, when he observed an unusual object in the sky at Panama City University. The object was round, silver, and moved silently and rapidly before disappearing over the horizon. He notes that it resembled neither meteors nor meteorological balloons.

Posin then explores the skepticism surrounding flying saucers, questioning whether they are indeed a reality and if they are vessels from other planets piloted by advanced beings. He personally believes in the possibility of such machines and beings. The phenomenon, he notes, gained widespread attention in June 1947 after a pilot reported seeing nine luminous disk-shaped objects near Mount Rainier, leading to an 'epidemic' of reports across America.

He recounts several specific observations: three professors in Texas saw luminous formations in 1951; Clyde Tombaugh (discoverer of Pluto) observed an elliptical spaceship in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 1949 that changed shape and had windows; and a man claimed to have found wreckage and the bodies of small people. Another individual reported conversations with extraterrestrial visitors, and a third claimed photographic evidence.

Posin discusses differing scientific opinions, mentioning Aime Michel's conviction that some UFOs originate from outer space, while Dr. Donald Menzel initially attributed them to light reflections, balloons, or projectiles, though his opinion later changed. Posin acknowledges that some objects are likely meteors from outer space, possibly carrying microscopic spores. However, he dismisses the idea of 'little green men.'

Regarding the possibility of building flying saucers, Posin states it is a fact that 'little people' are constructing them on Earth. He also mentions human efforts to build rockets and spacecraft for interplanetary travel. When asked if 'genuine' flying saucers from outer space have landed on Earth, most scientists believe it is unlikely but acknowledge the possibility of future landings.

(The article notes that Dr. Posin has written a book titled 'Bort fra denne Verden' (Away from this World), published by Popular Mechanics.)

Radicals of the Ridiculous

This section introduces an article by Arthur Constance from Cheltenham, England, author of "The inexplicable sky." The introductory text highlights Constance's prodigious memory and extensive writing career, noting his lifelong dedication to studying phenomena that defy conventional scientific understanding.

Constance's article begins by discussing the limitations imposed by human perception, particularly the dominance of three dimensions and three 'dominations' which he identifies as illusory. He critiques the concepts of 'up/down,' 'height,' 'forward/backward' (time), and 'left/right' (width) as fundamentally flawed and subjective. He argues that humanity is trapped by these limited perceptions, leading to confusion about reality, progress, and even the nature of the divine and the demonic.

He then delves into the meaning of the word 'radical' as used in his article's title. He distinguishes it from political radicalism, defining it as relating to the root, source, or origin – fundamental and essential. He contrasts this with the superficiality and lack of true substance in contemporary politics, science, and human nature, which he describes as inherently imperfect and lacking in genuine 'radicals.'

Constance further explores three 'presumptions' about truth held by the modern world: that truth is free and easily accessible, that it is logical and provable, and that it is palatable and easily digestible. He argues that these assumptions are characteristic of a generation that is arrogant and self-entitled, ignoring the responsibilities that come with blessings and privileges. He asserts that truth must always be sought and lived, often at a cost, and that it is rarely logical or easily proven, often appearing paradoxical due to human limitations.

He concludes that truth cannot be palatable or easily digestible for beings facing mortality on a dying planet. Concepts that are merely pleasant or comforting serve as distractions for those who ignore the fundamental fact of human mortality.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the perceived secrecy surrounding UFO phenomena, the alleged manipulation of public perception by governments, and the limitations of conventional scientific and political frameworks in addressing these issues. The magazine appears to adopt a critical stance towards official narratives, advocating for greater transparency and a deeper, more philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality, truth, and humanity's place in the cosmos. There is a strong undercurrent of concern about global conflict and the potential for humanity to self-destruct, with UFOs presented as a factor that could either exacerbate or potentially avert such a catastrophe.
