This issue of the Swedish newsletter "BREVCIRKELN" focuses on future predictions, paranormal phenomena, and potential cosmic threats. It includes a detailed report on the prophecies of Jeane Dixon, a review of books by T. Lobsang Rampa, and an alarming account of the approaching Ikaros meteor.

"Född med Siargåva" (Born with a Gift of Prophecy)

The lead article discusses the book "Född med Siargåva" by Jeane Dixon, a psychic from Washington, USA. Dixon is noted for her ability to foresee the future and offers insights into the coming decades. A particularly striking prediction concerns a world war in the 1980s, which she believes will lead to a profound spiritual renewal for humanity. This renewal is linked to a child born in the Middle East on February 5, 1962, who is expected to revolutionize the world and unite all existing beliefs and sects into a single, all-encompassing faith. Dixon foresees this individual's power becoming widely recognized around 1980, with their influence growing significantly until 1999, ushering in an era of peace.

The article also notes that the date of this child's predicted emergence coincides with a much-discussed planetary alignment that occurred on February 5, 1962.

Books by T. Lobsang Rampa

The newsletter reviews two recent books by T. Lobsang Rampa, who now resides in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. With these additions, Rampa has published a total of six "very interesting works." The mentioned books are available in affordable pocketbook editions and are unlikely to be translated into Swedish.

• "You - Forever" (1965), published by CORGI BOOKS (FG 7144), priced at 5 shillings.

Giant Meteor Heading Towards Earth

A significant portion of the newsletter is dedicated to the potential impact of a massive meteor named "Ikaros." According to an article from "AB" dated August 28th, the meteor is expected to strike Earth on June 15, 1968. Scientists are not yet certain if Ikaros will hit Earth, with confirmation only possible six months prior to the potential impact, and the exact landing spot known just two weeks in advance. The meteor's immense destructive power could obliterate a city like New York.

The article explains that while most meteors disintegrate upon entering Earth's atmosphere, Ikaros is too large to be destroyed. Only a thin layer of its surface is expected to burn off. The possibility of altering Ikaros's course with a powerful rocket motor is considered, but if that fails, the only recourse would be a massive evacuation of the impact zone.

The likelihood of the meteor hitting a populated area is considered relatively low, given that 70% of Earth's surface is water and 30% is land. However, the article notes that Ikaros could pass Earth at a distance of several million kilometers, depending on the gravitational forces of Earth and Mercury.

Past significant meteor impacts mentioned include one in Siberia on June 30, 1908, and the ancient craters in Arizona (1 km diameter, 200 m deep) and Canada (3 km wide, 100 m high).

Further details can be found in "Aftonbladet" on August 29th.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently covers topics related to the unexplained, including psychic phenomena, UFO sightings, and predictions of future events. The tone is generally informative, presenting information from various sources and encouraging reader engagement through discussions and book reviews. The inclusion of the Ikaros meteor threat suggests a focus on potential global events and scientific or pseudoscientific explanations. The Ufologiska Sällskapet's program indicates an active interest in ufology and related scientific and philosophical discussions within the Swedish community.
