Hvad tror du! (What do you think!)

Authored by Egon Olsen, this section details a UFO sighting and a peculiar convoy encounter. On February 23, 1999, an observer from Fyn witnessed a bright object in the sky moving away from the planets Venus and Jupiter. The following day, February 24, 1999, the same observer and his daughter encountered a strange procession of ten identical silver-grey cars on a rural road near Krogsbølle, heading towards Uggerslev. Each car had four uniformed men inside, and the cars were described as foreign. The observer noted that the cars drove past in groups with short pauses in between. He attempted to link this observation to the previous night's sighting. The observer contacted the police in Odense, Bogense, and Otterup, but they had no reports of such vehicles. He also mentioned that the area where the cars were seen is near the property of the late industrialist Mads Damgaard, known for receiving foreign visitors. The observer expresses his deep impression of the event, questioning whether it was a trick of the senses or a genuine phenomenon that could affect human brain cells.

SUFOI Nyhedsbrev (SUFOI Newsletter)

Written by Flemming O. Rasmussen, this piece announces the launch of the SUFOI Nyhedsbrev as a purely internet publication. The first issue had limited content due to difficulties in reproducing AVI articles from the printed edition because of copyright issues. However, it did include an overview of newspaper articles related to UFOs. The second edition of the newsletter is released simultaneously with this SUFOI Intern issue.

UFOer i tv (UFOs on TV)

Also by Flemming O. Rasmussen, this section discusses a program titled "De uindbudte" (The Uninvited) aired on the satellite channel "Discovery" on Sunday, February 6. The program focused on UFO abductions and featured various proponents and skeptics. A polygraph test conducted on a woman claiming to have been repeatedly abducted concluded with a 99% probability that she was not truthful. The segment also examined alleged implants, with one identified as a cotton thread found under the skin of a man, and another as a common dental filling. The author notes that definitive proof is still pending but encourages readers to watch future UFO-related programs on Discovery and to email them if they discover any other channels broadcasting such content.

Observationslisten (The Observations List)

The editorial team has not received an overview of observations this time.

Deadlines

Deadlines for the next SUFOI Intern and the next SUFOI Nyhedsbrev are both set for March 10, 2000.

Halvårsrapporter (Half-Year Reports)

Submissions for half-year reports and any suggestions are due by Wednesday, March 1, to be received by FR. The year 2000 includes an extra working day, February 29.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around personal UFO sightings, the challenges of reporting and investigating such phenomena, and the media's portrayal of UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging reader participation and the sharing of observations, while also maintaining a critical perspective, as seen in the discussion of the polygraph test results and the analysis of alleged implants. The publication aims to keep its readership informed about UFO-related news and events both locally and in the media.
