Magazine Overview

Title: UFO-INFORMATION
Issue: No. 3-70
Date: May 1970
Publisher: UFO-Sverige
Country: Sweden
Language: Swedish

This issue of UFO-INFORMATION, the official publication of UFO-Sverige, is dedicated to informing its members and the public about UFO phenomena and related topics. It is edited by Håkan Blomqvist and published 10 times a year.

Editorial and Conference News

The editorial begins with an apology for the delay in publication, attributed to work related to a recent conference and issues with paper delivery. The main focus is on the UFO conference held in Motala during Easter, which was the first of its kind in Sweden and was well-attended, with over 60 participants. The conference's positive reception suggests it will not be the last.

A significant outcome of the conference was the decision to form a national organization, UFO-Sverige, with Motala serving as its address. The interim statutes for this organization have been distributed to various UFO groups across the country, and responses are awaited.

Another key decision was to establish an "expert group" composed of individuals with both spiritual and technical knowledge. This group is intended to provide a counterpoint to the official stance of FOA (Försvarets forskningsanstalt - Swedish Defence Research Agency), which has repeatedly stated that no evidence of extraterrestrial craft has been found. Sten Lindgren of Stockholm is tasked with forming this group and urges readers to submit suggestions for suitable candidates.

UFO-Motala is also planning to participate in the HJOVIAL exhibition in Hjo during Pentecost, aiming to spread awareness about UFOs to an estimated 100,000 visitors. The organization is seeking financial support for this endeavor, citing costs for venue rental, food, and accommodation.

International UFO Weekend

A message from the UFO-foreningen "Contact" in South Africa announces an International UFO Weekend on June 13th. The event involves a 24-hour vigil and a planned telepathic connection attempt to "Brothers in Space" between 14:00 and 14:30 GMT (15:00-15:30 Swedish time), inviting extraterrestrials with peaceful intentions to make contact.

While a collective gathering for this event might not be feasible for everyone, interested individuals are encouraged to participate on their own initiative.

Kosmisk Bulletin

The magazine introduces "Kosmisk Bulletin," a new publication for individuals with unique interests, including UFOs, philosophy, and telepathy. Its aim is to foster discussion and provide a sustainable philosophy that helps individuals understand themselves and their surroundings, potentially eliminating causes of societal problems.

Soviet Cosmonauts Lost in Space

An excerpt from Frank Edwards' "Flying Saucers – Serious Business" details an alleged incident in June 1962 concerning two Soviet cosmonauts, a man and a woman, who were launched from Baikonur on February 17, 1961. Tracking stations in Uppsala, Bochum, and Turin reportedly intercepted conversations between the cosmonauts and their base station for seven days. Due to an unspecified malfunction, they were unable to return and are presumed to have died. The Soviet Union has refused to comment on the event.

During their passage over Europe on February 24, 1961, the cosmonauts' reports indicated their physical condition was good but their oxygen supply was low and the cabin lights were not functioning. The male cosmonaut noted that the dials were unreadable and that the capsule continued on its trajectory despite a power failure. The female cosmonaut's distressed voice is quoted, expressing concern that the world would never know what they saw if they didn't get out. The transmission ended with unintelligible sounds before their base station, codenamed "Hole," re-established contact.

The article suggests that the cosmonauts witnessed something unusual in space that initially surprised and then frightened them.

Our World Today (Vår Värld av Idag)

This philosophical article by "Jonzon" critiques the current state of the world, lamenting its deterioration and questioning whether future generations will inherit a better planet. The author argues that despite growing awareness of problems like pollution, environmental degradation, and poisoning of food and water, humanity continues on a destructive path, often relying on science as a panacea without addressing the root causes.

The article likens the world to an alcoholic or drug addict, experiencing a temporary euphoria while ignoring the underlying decay. It posits that technological advancements, while offering greater possibilities, are paradoxically leading humanity towards self-destruction. Those who recognize these dangers are often silenced or ignored in favor of economic gain.

The author calls for a "new way of thinking" and a new life philosophy, moving away from materialism and egoism. He suggests that science needs to break free from its current limitations and that humanity must work in harmony with nature rather than against it. This requires a fundamental shift in habits, values, and overall life philosophy, though the author expresses doubt about humanity's willingness to make such changes.

The Three Black-Clad Terrorists

This article by Ola Hansson discusses a phenomenon that has reportedly plagued ufologists since the 1950s: encounters with three men dressed in black. These individuals are said to intimidate ufologists, sometimes leading them to abandon their organized research. The typical encounter involves two men talking to the victim while the third stares intently into their eyes.

The article recounts the case of Albert Bender in September 1953, who was visited by these men after starting a large organization. They allegedly confirmed his theories about UFO origins but filled him with such dread that he ceased his work. Similar incidents are reported with Australian ufologists Ed Jarrold and Harold Fulton.

M.K. Jessup, an astrophysicist who was deeply involved in UFO research, was found dead in his car in April 1959, having reportedly been threatened by three unknown men.

In the summer of 1967, several ufologists were approached by these men and told to stop their research. A Pentagon spokesperson, Colonel Freeman, stated that these individuals were not affiliated with the Air Force and that "our agents want nothing more than to catch them."

The article questions the motives behind these encounters, suggesting a need for secrecy. It ponders whether these men are real extraterrestrials or a deliberate "bluff" orchestrated by a clandestine organization. If they are a bluff, the author argues, authorities should intervene to stop these "practical jokes," one of which allegedly led to a death.

Vimaana - Its Geometric Construction

This two-part article by Lehel Répits delves into the geometric construction of "Vimaana," a concept seemingly related to ancient flying machines or structures. The author criticizes modern science for its limitations and argues that the past holds keys to understanding these ancient technologies.

Part 1: The Squaring of the Circle and the Great Pyramid

This section focuses on geometric problems, particularly the squaring of the circle (constructing a square with the same area as a given circle) and its relation to the Great Pyramid. The author asserts that while theoretically impossible using strict Euclidean geometry due to the irrationality of pi, ancient constructions may have achieved practical approximations.

The article presents a method for dividing a line into three equal parts using a ruler and compass, and then details a complex geometric construction for the "squaring of the circle" (referred to as "Cirkelns kvadratur nr 1"). This construction, based on a 3-5-7 triangle, yields a value for pi of approximately 3.150630189. The author also references the Rhind Papyrus, which provides an older value for pi (256/81 or approximately 3.1605). He claims that the builders of the Great Pyramid knew the correct value of pi (3.1415...) and incorporated it into the pyramid's dimensions, citing the side angle of a corner stone as evidence.

The article suggests that this geometric construction also revealed the original plan of the Great Pyramid, which was allegedly depicted in UFO overflights of Europe in July 1967. The height of the Great Pyramid is discussed in relation to geometric constructions and human proportions.

Part 2: The Squaring of the Circle and the Great Pyramid (Continued)

This section continues the discussion on geometric constructions, presenting "Cirkelns kvadratur nr 2" and "Cirkelns kvadratur nr 3." These methods aim to construct a square with an area equivalent to a given circle, building upon the principles established in the first part and the 3-5-7 triangle. The author notes that while these constructions are mathematically precise, they may not perfectly align with the system required for constructing a "Vimaana."

He also touches upon the historical use of pi, noting that 3 was used until 1580, but the pyramid builders knew a more accurate value. The article concludes by stating that while there is no written proof for the 3-5-7 triangle or the specific number system used, the geometric constructions themselves serve as evidence.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-INFORMATION reflects a strong interest in ufology, particularly in the organizational aspects and the dissemination of information within Sweden. The magazine actively promotes the activities of UFO-Sverige and its regional branches, such as UFO-Motala. There is a clear stance against the dismissive attitude of official bodies like FOA, advocating for the importance of independent research and the establishment of expert groups to challenge official narratives. The inclusion of articles on geometric constructions related to ancient structures like the Great Pyramid and the concept of Vimaana suggests a broader interest in ancient mysteries and alternative scientific or historical perspectives. The philosophical piece by "Jonzon" indicates a concern for the direction of modern society, advocating for a shift in values and a more harmonious relationship with nature. The "three men in black" article highlights the perceived dangers and mysteries surrounding UFO research, suggesting a clandestine element at play. Overall, the magazine aims to foster a community of like-minded individuals, encourage critical thinking, and explore phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding.

This issue of UFO-NYT, identified as "CIRKELNS KVADRATUR nr 2" and "nr 3", published in December 1969 from Denmark, delves into complex geometric concepts and their potential connections to ancient mysteries, particularly the Great Pyramid of Giza. The content is primarily in Swedish and explores mathematical constructions, historical interpretations of ancient structures, and speculative theories about Earth's past.

Cirkelns Kvadratur nr 2 & 3

The issue presents two geometric constructions related to "Cirkelns Kvadratur" (Squaring the Circle). These diagrams, labeled "nr 2" and "nr 3", involve intricate geometric lines and circles, suggesting a mathematical exploration of this ancient problem. The second construction, "nr 3", is associated with the value of Pi (π = 3,150630189....).

UFO Overflights Over Europe

A brief mention is made of UFO overflights over Europe during the night of July 17-18, 1967. This event was reportedly published in UFO-NYT nr 8 in December 1969, with a map included in that issue.

The Great Pyramid and Geometric Principles

A significant portion of the content is dedicated to the Great Pyramid of Giza. The author critiques various encyclopedias (Svensk Uppslagsbok, Bonniers Lexikon, Nordisk Familjebok, Åhlén & Åkerlunds, Focus, Data, Britanica, Collier) for their inconsistent and often contradictory measurements of the pyramid's dimensions, particularly its base (a) and height (h).

Mathematical Analysis of Pyramid Dimensions

The article highlights the work of researchers like P. Smyth and Henry Kjellson, who have studied the pyramid's geometry. It emphasizes the relationship h = 2a/π and attempts to reconcile the given dimensions with this formula, pointing out significant discrepancies in the data provided by different sources. For instance, using Svenska Uppslagsbok's data (a=227.50 m, h=137.00 m), the calculated height based on the angle of inclination (51°50') is 144.3901 meters, an 8-meter difference from the stated height.

The "Pyramid Meter"

P. Smyth's concept of a "pyramid meter" is discussed, derived from dividing the pyramid's height (147.80 m) by the number of days in a year (365). This value, when converted to "pyramid centimeters", is approximated as 1/200 of the pyramid's original base, which is also noted to be close to the Earth's polar diameter (12,710 km).

Construction Theories and Catastrophism

The author challenges conventional theories that attribute the pyramid's construction solely to slave labor. Instead, the text posits that the builders possessed advanced knowledge and that the pyramid's design was intended to withstand or record a major cataclysm, specifically a collision with a smaller planet and a subsequent global flood.

#### The Collision and Flood Scenario

It is theorized that a collision with a celestial body caused the Earth's axis to tilt, leading to a massive flood. The pyramid's orientation and internal structure, including passages and chambers, are interpreted as mechanisms to manage the immense forces and pressures generated by this event. The text describes how the pyramid's mass and internal systems, such as granite plugs and chambers, were designed to absorb and redirect these forces, preventing the structure from collapsing.

#### The Role of the Three Pyramids

The three main pyramids at Giza are presented as having distinct roles in mitigating the flood's impact. Pyramid "a" (the smallest) was most directly in the flood's path, while pyramids "b" and "c" offered greater protection. The water channels and vortexes created by the pyramid structures are said to have guided the floodwaters towards the Nile, thus protecting the Great Pyramid.

Ancient Knowledge and Symbolism

The issue touches upon the idea that the pyramid builders possessed a profound understanding of the universe, including astronomical distances (e.g., Earth-Sun distance) and Earth's geography. The "Tau" symbol, associated with the pyramid's apex, is linked to concepts of rebirth, land elevation, and the constellation the Southern Cross.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the intersection of mathematics, geometry, and ancient mysteries. There is a strong undercurrent of challenging established historical and scientific narratives, particularly regarding the Great Pyramid and the capabilities of ancient civilizations. The editorial stance appears to favor speculative theories that incorporate advanced ancient knowledge, astronomical events, and potentially extraterrestrial influences, while critically examining conventional explanations and religious dogma.

This issue of VIMAANA, dated December 1952, presents a collection of speculative theories and interpretations concerning ancient Egypt, particularly the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, linking them to advanced prehistoric technology and extraterrestrial influences. The magazine's cover features a symbolic illustration of a globe supported by a human figure, titled 'VIMAANA', and the text indicates the 'craft's home planet' is Earth, constructed by 'real Homo Sapiensis' at least 12,500 years before our time.

The Great Pyramid and Aerodynamics

The article begins by discussing the aerodynamic properties of the Great Pyramid, suggesting its shape was designed to create an 'aerodynamic line' that protected the surrounding plateau from flood damage. The author posits that the river's speed was low beneath this curve, and the plateau's current form reflects this protective design.

Pharaohs as 'Lodgers' and Hieroglyphic Interpretation

A central argument is that the Pharaohs, specifically Cheops, were not the builders of the pyramids but rather 'lodgers'. The author questions the traditional narrative, citing Kjellson's explanation for why a mummy could not have been placed in the Great Pyramid due to its complex passages. The article also touches upon the Egyptian hieroglyphic system, suggesting that while modern scholars may have solved it correctly, the ancient Egyptians themselves misinterpreted many of their own scripts. The origin of hieroglyphics is described as appearing suddenly, without a traceable evolutionary path.

Cheops and His Contemporaries

The article highlights the enigmatic nature of Cheops, noting the scarcity of his depictions, with only a small ivory sculpture existing. This is contrasted with Chefren, who has 23 statues in his valley temple, and other Pharaohs like Djoser and Mykerinos. The author finds this disparity unusual.

Artistic Style and Technological Decline

Citing 'Kultur-turens Gryning' from Bonniers illustrated cultural history, the text describes the reliefs from pyramid temples as possessing a 'secure, yet sensitive line' and 'masterful technique'. However, it notes that later reliefs from the end of the dynasty are of lower quality, partly due to being carved in coarse limestone filled with plaster. This leads to a critical question: how could the skill in stone carving have been forgotten so quickly within 10-20 years (during Cheops' son's reign)? The article suggests that the advanced stone-working techniques of the first dynasty were not matched by subsequent dynasties, with sculpture becoming rare by the fifth dynasty.

Ancient Egyptian Religion and Symbolism

The article proposes that due to the populace's ignorance, the ancient Egyptian religion was born at the Great Pyramid. The original message of the pyramid's apex was misinterpreted, leading to sun worship. The symbol of the winged sun disk, representing a god-human figure with rays descending, is interpreted as containing components of the pyramid's message: the sun, the human, and the 'Tau' symbol found in Assyrian mythology.

The Sphinx and Prehistoric Catastrophes

Further evidence for advanced prehistoric knowledge is presented through the Sphinx. According to H. Kjellsons' 'Forntidens teknik', the Sphinx is a date indicator for the pyramid's construction, placing it over 12,000 years ago, coinciding with a natural catastrophe. The Sphinx, with its lion body and woman's head, is interpreted as representing the constellations Leo and Virgo, suggesting that around 10,200 BC, Earth was at the transition point between these constellations, aligning with precession cycles.

Easter Island and the 'Red Caps'

As a parallel to the Egyptian mysteries, the article points to the giant stone statues on Easter Island. It hypothesizes that these statues, with their 'red, porous, hollow caps' (which are now missing), might represent brains and that their displacement signifies a 'reduction in human intelligence through forgetfulness' following a collision. The author suggests that the direction these statues face (possibly northeast) and the weight of the caps could reveal information about the collision's speed, force, and the size of the alien planet involved.

A Traffic Accident Analogy

An analogy is drawn between a severe traffic accident and a cosmic collision. The description of the accident, involving a car rolling down a street and colliding with another vehicle, resulting in fatalities and severe head injuries, is used to illustrate the potential impact of a catastrophic event.

The Adamski UFO

The issue concludes by identifying an 'unidentified flying object' photographed by George Adamski on December 13, 1952. This object is described as a model of the Great Pyramid, with its home planet being Earth and constructed by 'real Homo Sapiensis' at least 12,500 years ago, aligning with the magazine's overarching themes of ancient, advanced human civilization and extraterrestrial connections.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around challenging conventional historical and archaeological narratives, particularly concerning ancient Egypt. The editorial stance appears to favor speculative theories that posit advanced prehistoric human capabilities and potential extraterrestrial influences on ancient civilizations. There is a strong emphasis on interpreting ancient structures and symbols as repositories of lost knowledge, often linked to space travel and cosmic events. The magazine promotes a view that humanity has regressed technologically and intellectually from a highly advanced ancient past.
