UFO-program på Radio o TV

This section discusses recent UFO-related programs on Swedish radio and television. It highlights an interview with Sten Lindgren, presented as a UFO expert, who shares his views on extraterrestrial intelligences and potential contact within the coming years. The author expresses skepticism about Lindgren's accounts, finding them increasingly incoherent. The article also mentions TV programs that featured discussions on crop circles, with UFO-Sverige's chairman Clas Svahn participating.

Tidsmaskiner - Resor i tiden (Time Machines - Journeys in Time)

This article announces and summarizes a lecture by Jens Tellefsen on the topic of time travel. The lecture was held at Tingshuset in Barkarby on November 21, 1991, with an admission fee of 25 SEK, which also served as a lottery ticket. The summary touches upon UFO-Sverige's collaboration with FOA and SMHI, aiming to gain more credibility. It also briefly mentions reports from the TV program 'Nattkafé' featuring individuals who witnessed unusual lights and flying objects. The article notes Sune Hjort's theories about messages from extraterrestrial beings and his book on Ante Jonsson's alleged extraterrestrial journeys.

Föredrag - Anders B. Johansson (Lecture - Anders B. Johansson)

This section reviews a lecture given by Anders B. Johansson on May 7, 1991, at Hälsans hus in Stockholm. Johansson, who has traveled extensively, shared his beliefs about knowledge being contained within pyramids and his contact with a powerful force there. He promoted the theories of George Adamski, Daniel Fry, and Billy Meier, suggesting that signs from crashed UFOs are written in the underground passages of pyramids. Johansson claims these UFOs originate from the Pleiades. The reviewer expresses skepticism about Johansson's claims, particularly his assertion that UFO observations often occur in areas with pyramids, which contradicts compiled data. Johansson also showed film clips from 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'Indiana Jones', interpreting them as factual accounts of extraterrestrial contact. The reviewer, while appreciating the films, urges critical thinking.

De flygande tefaten identifierade (The flying saucers identified)

This subsection discusses Johansson's claims about identifying flying saucers. He mentions depictions of animals on mountains in Peru, supposedly formed by a laser, and suggests UFOs travel faster than light. The reviewer notes a lack of concrete evidence beyond Johansson's personal stories and highlights the potential for misinterpretations or hoaxes in ufology.

Om cirkelfenomen (About Crop Circle Phenomena)

Authored by Mikael Sjöberg, this article explores the phenomenon of crop circles, which have appeared globally, including in Japan, England, and Sweden. The first known report dates back to 1678. While some attribute them to natural causes or even extraterrestrial messages, researchers are investigating. Organizations like UFO-Sverige, SMHI, and the Swedish Defence Research Agency are involved in collecting reports. The article recounts specific incidents, such as a strange event in Japan involving TV interference and a waterless pond forming a circle, and a case in Wiltshire, England, where grass swirled into a perfect circle. It also mentions a high-frequency sound associated with their formation. Cases from Sweden, including near Örebro and Östersund, are detailed, with some involving unusual lights preceding the circle's appearance. The article encourages public reporting of crop circle phenomena to UFO-Sverige's reporting center.

Key Articles and Reports

Casa Blanca, California, USA, August 29, 1955: Children's Encounter

A group of eight children aged 4 to 15 reported seeing several UFOs of various shapes and colors, described as partially transparent. These objects allegedly disappeared when adults approached. The children also described a red-eyed, transparent creature that could paralyze two boys with a beam. The adults present could not see the UFOs or the creature, highlighting a common theme of experiences being invisible to non-witnesses.

Calgary, Canada, November 17, 1967: The Case of David Seewalt

David Seewalt, a 14-year-old boy, recounted an experience where he was chased by a flying saucer, resulting in a 40-minute memory gap. Under hypnosis, facilitated by ufologist Bill Allan and a dentist-surgeon, David recalled being taken aboard a UFO. He described meeting monstrous, transparent beings with brown crocodile skin. These beings reportedly undressed him and examined him. He was then subjected to an orange light beam and returned to the ground. The narrative includes details of his subsequent anxiety and the efforts made to help him recover his memory.

Olofström, Sweden: A Close Encounter and Memory Loss

This report details an encounter experienced by a resident of Olofström. The individual witnessed a large, multi-sided craft with numerous windows emitting a bright light. As the craft approached, the witness's car experienced severe electrical malfunctions, including the activation of blinkers, wipers, heater, and horn, and the clock running backward. Two light beams, described as a ladder, descended from the craft, and small, transparent beings emerged. A display screen showed a message composed of colors and sounds, which the witness understood. Following this, the witness left the car, but experienced a memory gap of nearly two hours, only recalling the event after waking up and finding the car warm.

Arkelstorp, Sweden: Investigation of a Reported Landing

Field researcher Håkan Fenander from UFO Sverige visited Arkelstorp to investigate a reported UFO sighting and potential landing during the midsummer weekend. He met with the individual who claimed to have seen a large spaceship with aliens. Fenander's investigation involved examining the site for traces or explanations. He stated that while he is interested in UFO phenomena, he has never personally witnessed anything supernatural. Fenander emphasized the importance of collecting data and filtering out all explainable phenomena in UFO investigations. He also noted that while many reports are dismissed, some cases warrant serious study.

Sundsvall, Sweden: Unidentified Flying Frisbee?

This short report discusses two unidentified objects observed flying over Sundsvall in May. Arne Gjärdman, Division Director at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, suggested that the objects might be small objects at close range, with a movement pattern resembling a frisbee. However, he noted that the circumstances, such as no one seeing them being thrown or landing, did not fully support the frisbee theory. The report acknowledges that the objects remain unidentified.

"Våra räddare på andra planeter" by Mikael Johnsson

This opinion piece speculates on the existence of intelligent life on other planets. The author believes that advanced civilizations may exist, possessing knowledge far beyond our own. He suggests that these beings might be driven by higher principles like humanism and love, free from war and aggression. Conversely, he acknowledges the possibility of less developed planets with more primitive societies. The author also touches upon the concept of the spiritual world and the potential for beings to materialize or dematerialize, thus traversing the universe without physical travel.

"Parapsykologiskt fenomen?" by Vadur

This article proposes that the Arkelstorp UFO experience might be a parapsychological phenomenon, citing the transparent nature of the beings and the light beam as evidence of non-physical matter. The author suggests that the car's electrical disturbances could be caused by strong magnetic fields. The article posits that these beings might be from another dimension, capable of influencing human consciousness and potentially expanding the brain's capacity, which could explain the memory loss and headache experienced by the witness. The author invites readers to share their own theories.

"Skadad självkänsla o följd av UFO-observa" by Solveig Cappelen

This article features an interview with Per Gunnar Söderbaum, a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry. Söderbaum emphasizes the profound psychological distress, akin to torture, experienced by individuals who report UFO sightings. He notes that these individuals often fear seeking psychiatric help due to the unusual nature of their experiences and the possibility of being labeled as mentally unstable. A significant aspect highlighted is the phenomenon of time loss, where witnesses have gaps in their memory, often only realizing it when pointed out by others. Söderbaum stresses the importance of respecting and taking seriously the pain and trauma associated with these experiences, even if the existence of UFOs is not confirmed. He believes that people who claim to have seen UFOs are not fabricating their experiences and is interested in understanding the nature of the trauma involved. He also suggests that those who report such experiences are often subjected to bullying and disbelief.

"Internationella erfarenheter" (International Experiences)

This section briefly mentions that discussions around UFOs have been ongoing for decades and that international experiences exist. It notes that alien abductions are reported globally and are met with skepticism, similar to experiences in Sweden. It references books by Streiber on 'Close Encounters'.

"Oidentifierad flygande frisbee?"

This brief report discusses two unidentified objects seen over Sundsvall. The Swedish Defence Research Agency suggests they might be small objects with frisbee-like movements, but the circumstances are not fully conclusive.

"Ny tävling:"

An announcement for a competition hosted by the Stockholm UFO Association, offering a hand-painted porcelain gnome or a wooden gnome as prizes. Participants are asked to send in a coupon by November 15th.

"Forskare besökte Arkelstorp: Inga synliga tecken på UFO"

This article details Håkan Fenander's investigation in Arkelstorp. He found no visible signs of a UFO landing. Fenander, a field researcher for UFO Sverige, met with the witness and examined the site. He explained that UFO investigations involve collecting data and filtering out explainable phenomena. Fenander, who has worked on about ten UFO cases since 1983, has never personally seen anything supernatural but believes that many reported incidents have a basis in reality, stating that people who claim to have seen something unusual are unlikely to lie. He acknowledges that serious research can be challenging, as astronomers might dismiss the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors.

"Självlysande fåglar" (Self-Luminous Birds)

This article explores the phenomenon of birds that emit a strange glow. It references observations made by an English professor in 1907 near Cambridge, where birds were seen to radiate an unusual light, particularly during October-December. The light is described as dull yellow and strong enough to illuminate the surrounding branches. While the cause has been sought in England, an Italian professor of ornithology suggests that microscopic fungi, attaching to the birds' chests during cold, damp months, might be responsible.

"Lokal efterlyses!" (Local Wanted!)

Inga-Lill is seeking a venue in Stockholm for a meeting, preferably with kitchen facilities, at a reasonable price. She provides contact information for those who can help.

"Imre Horvath: Den 7:e dimensionen"

This section reviews Imre Horvath's book, "Den 7:e dimensionen" (The 7th Dimension). Horvath, who reportedly experienced death in 1959, has had intense dreams since then, which he believes are messages from another dimension. The book covers life after physical death, encounters with extraterrestrial intelligences, humanity's political dilemma, and the fate of the Earth. The magazine also mentions Horvath's upcoming book, "Visionära drömmar" (Visionary Dreams), which is divided into three parts: UFO experiences, interstellar journeys, and experiences of fate.
