Key Articles and Reports
The Light on the Jogging Track (Denmark)
This section details an incident that occurred on August 3rd, 1989, at the Billund running track. A professional photographer, wishing to remain anonymous, reported seeing a silent, white-yellow globe, the size of a tennisball or orange with a distinct corona, moving at a low altitude. The object followed a starter vehicle and then moved under it before shooting upwards. The photographer managed to take a photo. Subsequent analysis by SUFOI's photo consultant, Hans Bodker, and a computer photographic analysis by GSW in the USA, suggested a possible light reflection from the vehicle's headlight in the camera's lens as the cause. Three possible explanations are presented: the photographer invented the story after seeing a light reflection, the photographer experienced the globe but it disappeared before being photographed, or the photographer saw and photographed the globe, with the analysis showing both the globe and a light reflection. SUFOI leans towards the light-reflection theory as the most reasonable possibility, but does not entirely dismiss the photographer's account.
More Reports From Last Year
Flying Wing (Denmark):
On January 24th, 1996, near Stryno, a 40-year-old woman observed a rectangular object, approximately six times as long as it was wide, with four antennae. The object was white like new fibreglass and moved in a straight line from southwest to northeast. The witness could see the starlit sky through the object, ruling out aircraft or swans.
Lights At Næstved (Denmark):
On February 6th, 1996, a family driving home near Fensmark saw 5-6 closely placed white lights in a horizontal line that pulsated. The lights remained visible for about three minutes before disappearing. Different explanations, including aircraft lights, have been considered, but SUFOI regards the incident as unclear.
Red Lighted Wheel (England):
On March 10th, 1996, in Grinstead, a woman observed an unusual object resembling an old-fashioned wagon wheel with spokes, blinking a strong red or pink color. The object glided silently across the sky before turning away and disappearing.
Lighted Ring Over Esbjerg (Denmark):
On March 30th, 1996, an observer looking for the comet Hyakutake saw a lighted blue/grey ring moving in a straight line from west-southwest to east-northeast. The observer could see the starlit sky through the ring, ruling out swans or aircraft. SUFOI's investigation found no confirming aircraft activity.
Circle In Wheatfield (Denmark)
A farmer in Haraldstedvej discovered a large circle in his wheatfield on April 22nd, 1996. The circle had an 8-meter diameter, with an oval extension. Inside the circle were six irregular areas where the wheat was not growing, and four depressions. Soil samples taken from inside and outside the circle were homogenous, and the vegetation color difference could not be attributed to fertilizer. The farmer denied any prank by friends or workmates, and SUFOI could offer no explanation for the incident.
The Object Darkened The Sky (Sweden)
This section recounts an incident experienced by Osten Engstrom, then 8 years old, in 1922 near Orsta, Sweden. The experience left him dizzy and soreheaded. The report is based on an interview conducted by Andreas Olsson, prompted by an article in "The Express" from June 15th, 1996. Engstrom's memory of the event, which occurred 74 years prior, is detailed, including a brief anecdote about his classmate Holger.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are UFO and UAP sightings, with a particular focus on unexplained aerial phenomena observed in Denmark and Sweden during the 1990s. The magazine emphasizes detailed witness testimony, photographic evidence, and investigative analysis, as seen in the Billund incident and the Danish crop circle. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various cases and analyses without necessarily offering definitive conclusions, particularly when evidence is ambiguous or inconclusive. The inclusion of historical accounts and international translations suggests a broad interest in the UFO phenomenon. The editor's personal note indicates a commitment to providing diverse content and engaging with readers, despite logistical challenges.
This issue of UFO-Aktuellt, identified as nr.3.96, focuses on various UFO sightings reported in Sweden, spanning from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. The magazine presents detailed accounts from multiple witnesses, exploring the characteristics of the observed phenomena, the reactions of animals, and the challenges in finding natural explanations.
Osten Engstrom's Encounter
The issue begins with the account of Osten Engstrom, who, on a spring journey home, was surprised by a large number of animals fleeing across a field. Simultaneously, he observed a strange light in the sky and three objects swaying nearby, with two larger ones flying over a forest. He described a disappearing pulsating light. Upon returning home, his story was not believed, and he experienced a fever for four days, which was attributed to a cold but he suspected was due to an 'acrid air' affecting his senses. The article notes parallels to modern observations, including animal reactions, missing time, and the disbelief of the witness.
Barsta Incident: Flying Rock Sighted Over Yard
On New Year's afternoon in 1978, a yard in Barsta, Sweden, was the site of an incident involving a flying object. Approximately ten people witnessed a low-speed object flying low over the yard with a hissing sound. The object had a constant white light at the front, with colored lamps attached. Witnesses described it as triangular with some disfiguration at the front. The object's speed was estimated to be very low, around 40-50 km/hr. The article details the observations of several witnesses, including Gert-Inge Svensson, Per Arne Nyberg, and Peter Pettersson. Checks with Bromma airport revealed no unusual air traffic, and a hot-air balloon contest had concluded before the sighting. The article concludes that a natural explanation for the Barsta incident was not possible, and the witnesses were deemed stable and trustworthy.
Other Sightings and Reports
Went Slowly Northwards
A report from Knuta, east of Barsta, described a family of three observing two objects moving slowly northwards. The objects were oval-shaped, weak yellow-orange in color, and one appeared higher and nearer than the other, with blinking lights. The observation lasted 15-20 minutes.
Craft in the Mist
On May 8th, 1996, Ulla-Britt Hammer saw a golden yellow surface on Lake Bjorklangen and a cold yellow lighted object with a metallic impression. The object, described as resembling a large lighted brain with 7-8 tentacles, stood still and silent. After 30 seconds, it disappeared, leaving a horrible white/grey mist. Her husband suggested she had a nightmare. A subsequent check with the local astronomy club and weather data suggested that the planet Venus, bright and possibly reflected in the water, combined with cold weather and mist, might have led to the misidentification. The observer accepted the explanation but found the metallic appearance strange.
Look Pappa What a Strange Light in the Sky!
This section details an observation on August 6th, 1994, by Birgitta and Lars-Rune Lindeberg over Lake Strolangen. They saw an 'upside down plate' with a bright blue-white light glide over the lake and hover. The object was estimated to be 4 meters long and 1.5 meters high. It disappeared after about 15 seconds. The Lindebergs considered it a craft not from Earth.
Strange Light (Trangsund)
On September 6th, 1995, in Trangsund, Stockholm, Erica Bergsmeds and her father Owe witnessed a bright, angular, oval object with blinking lights. It moved horizontally at tremendous speed. They later saw another object, described by Erica as a boomerang shape and by Owe as a square, which moved considerably nearer. The descriptions differed slightly but agreed on key features. The article notes that differences in witness descriptions are common and can be explained by brain functioning or the nature of the phenomenon itself.
Cigar Over Sorbole
On July 20th, 1996, Henry Danielsson, Gunnel Forsberg, and Hjalmar Forsberg observed a cigar-shaped object with short wings. It was described as smooth, without tail parts or markings, and flew silently at high speed. Henry estimated its length at 5 meters and its height at 300 meters, with a speed of 250-300 km/hr. Checks with Midlanda airport and the military showed no relevant air traffic. A weather balloon was considered as a possible explanation.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-Aktuellt include the consistent reporting of unusual aerial phenomena across different regions of Sweden, the presence of multiple witnesses in many cases, and the challenges faced by observers in having their accounts believed. The magazine consistently presents witness testimonies with a degree of seriousness, while also exploring potential natural explanations such as planetary misidentification or atmospheric conditions. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, acknowledging the possibility of extraterrestrial craft while also emphasizing the importance of rigorous investigation and data checking. The publication aims to document these events and provide a platform for discussion and analysis within the UFO community.
This issue of Ufo-Aktuellt, dated April 1996, focuses on a compelling witness account from Sweden and explores potential connections between unexplained aerial phenomena, environmental factors, and scientific research.
Flying Man Scares Couple
The lead article, "FLYING MAN SCARES COUPLE" by Agneta Hallden, details an encounter by Karin and Hans Berntsson in Nastrakten, Sweden, on the night of May 3rd, 1996. While searching for their lost dog, Betty, they first observed a vehicle resembling a jeep with three faintly lit lamps. Later, Karin witnessed a brightly lit figure in a close-fitting suit and helmet, seated on a chair-like object with a lever, hovering about 4-5 meters above the forest road. The figure moved in a zig-zag, see-saw motion. Hans, however, only saw a bright light approaching. Karin's observations differed from Hans's, leading to questions about the nature of the phenomenon. She later returned to the site and described the object as an upturned carrot, red-brown in color, about 2 meters high and 2-3 meters wide, with three constantly lit lamps. After the object disappeared, Karin's car became stuck in mud at the exact spot where the object had been, suggesting the ground had been warmed. Gudrun Andersson of Vasterbergslagen's ufo society investigated, noting that the road had been closed to traffic, and no fresh vehicle tracks were found. Karin herself does not believe in extraterrestrial visitors, proposing that ufos are connected to Earth's energy and can be experienced like a television channel or a frequency from a deceased person, suggesting the phenomenon might be a film echoing through time, requiring ESP research.
Karin also noted a diesel-like atmosphere and saw a link between the sighting and a wine-red helicopter near her car on three subsequent occasions. She speculated that the phenomenon might be related to foreign military experiments or a genuine spaceship forced to land for repairs. Her son Hans, who only saw a bright light, could not explain the figure. The article also touches on Karin's hypersensitivity to electricity and her struggle for allergy recognition, suggesting a potential link between electricity sensitivity and experiencing the UFO phenomenon.
A week after the incident, Karin's grandson Mikael found a vibrating stone near the site, which she described as feeling like it 'crept' in her fingers. Later, Karin found a picture in 'Illustrated Science' magazine that closely resembled the figure she had seen, featuring an astronaut in a chair with a lever.
The article concludes by questioning whether advanced technology, possibly tested in secret, could be responsible, rather than an extraterrestrial visit. It suggests that 'devilish circles' found in mushroom areas might be evidence of UFO landings.
Charnobyl, UFOs and Devilish Circles
This section, authored by Robert K. Leśniakiewicz, explores the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster and its potential connection to UFO phenomena, particularly in Poland. The author discusses the isotopes released, such as J-131 and Cs-137, and their effects, noting that Cs-137 is accumulated in mushrooms and has mutagenic properties. He recounts finding unusual mushrooms with pink surfaces and radioactivity near the Tatra Mountains in 1994, coinciding with UFO overflights. Another odd mushroom was found in Jordanów in 1996. These findings were reported to Prof. Kazimierz Jeleń, who is researching the effects of radiation on mushrooms and plants.
The author then links these findings to UFO sightings in Poland, mentioning that areas with 'CE' (Chernobyl Effect) places have also been sites of strange aerial phenomena, including lights and flying discs, observed by border guard officials. He discusses 'devilish circles' found in mushroom areas, which he believes can be proof of UFO landings. These circles, along with higher radioactivity levels, can help map UFO tracks. The author's friends in Bielsko Biała, Olesno, and Wałcz did not confirm his suspicions that Chernobyl was solely responsible for mushroom mutations, and further investigations were planned.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs), their potential connection to environmental factors like radiation, and the subjective nature of witness experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting witness accounts and research findings without necessarily endorsing a single explanation, while also encouraging further investigation into these complex phenomena. The magazine seems to lean towards exploring terrestrial or energy-related explanations for UFOs over purely extraterrestrial ones, as suggested by Karin Berntsson's theory and the discussion on electromagnetic fields.
This issue of Trans-Ufo, dated September 1996, is primarily a catalog of UFO sightings and related phenomena reported throughout 1995 and into 1996. The content is largely comprised of detailed incident reports, often cross-referenced with newspaper clippings and credited to various researchers and news agencies.

Editorial Content and Cartoons
The issue includes contact information for UFO publications in Sweden, Denmark, Poland, and Argentina. It also features two cartoons related to UFOs. The first cartoon depicts a man saying, "SO I EXAGGERATE A LITTLE? I SAW A UFO. WHAT IS WRONG IN MAKING IT MORE EXCITING?" The second cartoon shows a man reading a newspaper titled "WEEKLY NEWS" with the headline "ALIENS ARE HERE" and "CLAIM UFO BUFFS," while a child points to an alien figure and says, "DAD! IT'S FOR YOU-" The caption reads, "'THOSE DAMNED UFO CRANKS ARE AT IT AGAIN!'"
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring theme is the documentation and cataloging of UFO sightings from around the world, with a particular focus on South America. The magazine appears to present these reports factually, often citing media sources and researcher contributions. The inclusion of a "Negative Cases" section suggests an effort to distinguish between genuine sightings and misidentifications or hoaxes. The cartoons at the end offer a more lighthearted, and perhaps slightly skeptical, commentary on the public perception and reporting of UFO phenomena.
