Norsk UFO Bulletin - 1966 No 2

Magazine Overview

This issue of "NORSK UFO-BULLETIN" (Issue 2, 1966) is a Norwegian publication dedicated to UFO research and the free exchange of ideas on the subject. It is presented as a private, uncensored, and apolitical organ. The editorial team acknowledges the economic challenges of running the publication, noting that their pricing is based on an expected 200 subscribers, a target they have yet to reach. They express hope for increased interest and appeal to current subscribers to help recruit new ones.

Editorial and Subscription Information

The editorial staff, led by Red. I.Thartin Sen, is based in Bergen, Norway. The publication details its Giro account number (13 77) and the year (1966). The editorial section also thanks subscribers for their support and good wishes, particularly noting the positive reception of the first issue before Christmas. They express a desire for better relations with the press and radio, hoping for a more serious consideration of the UFO phenomenon.

SUFOI-Norge Update

The magazine features an update on the organization SUFOI-Norge, including an interview with its leader, Nils Sælensminde. Sælensminde discusses the organization's development over its nearly three years of existence, noting that while progress has been satisfactory on a national level, many individuals feel isolated and lack contact with others. He believes that "NORSK UFO-BULLETIN" can play a crucial role in fostering this necessary contact.

The 'New Age' and UFOs

The concept of a 'New Age' is explored in connection with UFO phenomena. It is suggested that humanity is on the cusp of a new era, both physically and psychologically, evidenced by unusual weather patterns, natural disasters, and astronomical shifts like Earth's movement into the Aquarius constellation. This 'New Age' is expected to challenge current ways of thinking, and UFOs are seen as part of this unfolding transformation, indicating that humanity is not alone.

UFOs and Earthly Events

The article "Er det mulig at Ufoene påvirker våre jordiske forhold?" (Are UFOs influencing our earthly affairs?) speculates on the role of UFOs in significant events. It points to the major power outage in the USA in late 1965 as a possible consequence of UFO activity, noting that the official explanations were inconclusive and hinted at unusual voltage surges. The article also recounts Sir Anthony Brooke's observation of a "cigar-shaped" object in New York during the blackout, suggesting that a large mothership could potentially cause such disruptions, perhaps as a demonstration of power.

George Adamski and Personal Encounters

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to George Adamski, a prominent UFO researcher. The article "Slikt et menneske var George Ademski" (Such a man was George Adamski) is a translated manuscript by Adrienne Hunkeberg, who met and knew Adamski personally. Hunkeberg describes Adamski as a dynamic, wise, and humble individual who possessed a remarkable ability to awaken his fellow humans. She recounts her personal impressions, emphasizing his sincerity, his profound knowledge, and his capacity to handle difficult questions and situations with calm and understanding. She posits that Adamski's simple teachings contained a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, and that his unique insights challenged conventional thinking and opened up new perspectives on humanity's place in the cosmos.

The 'Mechanical Accelerator' and Anti-Gravity

An article titled "ER UFOECS FEDRIFT SILTODE ALLEREDE OPPDAGIET?" (Have UFO Propulsion Methods Already Been Discovered?) delves into the scientific underpinnings of UFO technology. It references a revolutionary article by Ingve Freij from the Swedish magazine 'ORIII'. The piece suggests that recent discoveries, some of which are reportedly kept secret by official space agencies in the USA and the Soviet Union, confirm that humanity may soon overcome the limitations of gravity and the speed of light. The article highlights observations by astronauts Edward White and Alexej Leonov, who reportedly found ways to move in space without conventional propulsion, hinting at principles of anti-gravity. It posits that these principles might be a rediscovery of forgotten natural laws known to scientists like Kepler and Newton. The concept of a "mechanical accelerator" is introduced as the potential drive system for UFOs, capable of speeds far exceeding light. The article speculates that if these new discoveries are realized, they could lead to a greater revolution than the discovery of atomic physics, enabling travel not only within the solar system but also to other galaxies.

UFO Literature and Resources

The magazine includes a section on available UFO literature, listing books by authors such as G. Adamski, Allingham, G.H. Williamson, Tormod Isak, Leslie & Adamski, and Viise & Ross. It also mentions an upcoming book by Marcel Homet. The proceeds from book sales are designated to support the magazine's operations. Additionally, a booklet titled "TEKNISK UFOLOGI" (Technical Ufology) by G. Bertelsen and Stein Ravn is recommended, available for purchase.

Reader Contributions and Contact Information

The "REDAKSJON SOVERSIKT" section provides contact details for international representatives in Denmark (Lilli Christensen) and Sweden (Gert Carbsson). It also mentions "BREVCIRKELEN" in Sweden, an organization that shares articles on various topics including UFOs, psychic phenomena, and philosophy. The magazine encourages readers to contribute their findings and opinions, stating that while contributions are not honored financially, they are welcomed for the sake of information exchange.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the growing awareness and study of UFO phenomena, the potential for a paradigm shift in human consciousness ('New Age'), and the exploration of advanced propulsion technologies like anti-gravity. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry and a desire to foster a serious and informed discussion about UFOs, moving beyond sensationalism. The publication aims to connect individuals interested in the subject and to disseminate information about significant findings and theories within the UFO research community.
