Content Summary
This issue of UFO Allehanda, the member magazine for Enköpings UFO-förening, features a variety of content, including member information, reports on UFO-related activities, and an advertisement for a local orienteering event.
Member Information and Society News
The magazine begins by noting a change in its appearance due to cooperation with OK-Enen, an organization focused on fitness activities. It highlights upcoming events and provides essential contact information for the Enköpings UFO-förening, including their listing in the telephone directory under "ENKÖPINGS UFO-FÖRENING" with the number 0171/30549 for reporting UFO observations.
The editorial section wishes members a pleasant summer and reminds them of the regular Thursday meetings. It also encourages reporting of UFO observations and expresses hope for positive news regarding the organization's activities in the fall. A brief mention is made of lawn maintenance.
UFO-Sverige National Meeting and Activities
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the UFO-Sverige national meeting. The Enköpings UFO-förening was represented by five people. Key decisions from the meeting included the continuation of UFO report codification and data processing according to the U.R.D. System. A motion to offer a discount on "UFO-Sverige Aktuellt" with local group membership was also passed, with further details to follow.
The magazine also touches upon a potential future trip to Egypt, similar to a past idea, and mentions that UFO-Sverige's chairman is considering a similar initiative. The external program featured speakers like Leif Havik from UFO-Norge, who discussed UFO phenomena in Hessdalen, Norway, recommending an article in "UFO-Sverige Aktuellt" on the subject.
Other Articles and Reports
Another speaker, Jan Fjellander, presented on parapsychology, though his full talk was missed due to travel. The possibility of rescheduling the annual meeting to a Friday to allow more time for external activities is considered.
New members are welcomed, and plans for new study circles in parapsychology are mentioned, with a tentative start in late September or early October. The organization also participated in an event at the Bergvreten youth center, presenting a UFO-Sverige film to an audience of about 40 young people.
Announcements and Postponements
The spring planning conference was postponed by two weeks, from April 23rd to May 7th. This was due to the original date being too close to the national meeting and the need to process results from that meeting. The Nordic meeting in Norway (April 23-25) was also mentioned, with representation expected. Decisions regarding data coding and related work were made on April 10th, and reports from the Norway meeting and a "data meeting" were to be presented at the planning conference.
Ivar's Column
Ivar's column provides personal reflections and updates. He expresses happiness that 16 of his colleagues have joined the UFO-forening. He recounts an event at Bergvreten where a UFO-Sverige film was shown, leading to many members sharing their own UFO experiences. A successful closing party for a study circle included a package auction, which helped raise funds.
Ivar also mentions Georg Lundvall, a board member and artist responsible for the magazine's cover art, and upcoming events such as a barbecue and a study circle in parapsychology or ancient mysteries.
He reiterates his intention to report on the latest UFO incidents to UFO-Sverige's report center.
Classifieds and Member Discounts
The magazine includes a "TILL SALU" (For Sale) section with listings for a Volvo car, a moped, a snow blower, and lawnmowers. It also lists businesses offering discounts to Enköpings UFO-förening members upon presentation of their membership card. These include Thilens Cykel & Rep.verkstad, Sten & Son AB (hardware store), and Skolagret (school supplies).
A report from the nature section mentions Sivert in Hjortsberga observing what he initially thought was a UFO, but turned out to be a white owl, likely a snowy owl.
Trim-Orientera Promotion
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to promoting "Trim-Orientera," an initiative by Svenska Orienteringsförbundet and Domänverket. This program encourages people to participate in orienteering in local forests like Fagerskogen and Brännskogen. It emphasizes that no special clothing or equipment is needed, and participants can set their own pace. The promotion includes details on how to participate, the cost of the trim package (15 SEK), and prize drawings for gift certificates to local stores.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently promotes the activities and goals of the Enköpings UFO-förening, encouraging member participation in meetings, study circles, and UFO reporting. There's a clear emphasis on community and shared interest in the UFO phenomenon, as well as broader topics like parapsychology. The inclusion of the "Trim-Orientera" promotion suggests an interest in promoting healthy and engaging outdoor activities among members, possibly as a way to connect with nature and potentially observe phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be informative, community-focused, and enthusiastic about the subject matter.
