UFO Information - 1970 No 06 No 07

Magazine Overview

This issue of UFO-INFORMATION, number 6-7 from August 1970, is a double issue published by the central group for the national organization UFO-Sverige. It serves as a communication channel for the organization and is intended to function as a mouthpiece for its members. The magazine is published 10 times a year and is based in Motala, Sweden.

General Information

The editorial states that this double issue was created to allow UFO-Motala members to rest during the summer months. It also announces that the third part of the article series "Vimana – dess geometriska konstruktion" (Vimana – its geometric construction) is being published. The author, Lehel Répits, has set specific conditions for the publication of his research findings, which are detailed for other UFO periodicals interested in publishing the material. Répits emphasizes that he is not seeking financial gain but wishes to encourage further research into building flying craft.

The conditions for publishing the "Vimana" series are as follows:
1. The series may only be published by UFO-periodicals.
2. It may not be published by conventional newspapers or magazines.
3. UFO-Information, Motala, must grant permission for other UFO-periodicals to publish the series.
4. Interested UFO-periodicals can contact the author through UFO-Information.
5. Publication is only permitted with the author's written consent and after a similar contract is agreed upon. The publishing periodical must also send the author two free copies of each issue containing the series.
6. All rights to publish "Vimana – its geometric construction" in book form are retained by the author.
7. Violation of any contract point will result in the discontinuation of the series for all UFO-periodicals. Since the series is honorarium-free and each part is written to stand alone, this will not cause material loss.
8. A new contract must be drawn up if the publishing UFO-periodical changes its name, ownership, or location.

Reports and Information

IGF, Stockholm, reports on an event from the International Weekend in mid-June (see UFO-Inf. 3). On June 13, 1970, around 10 PM, several IGF members were in a remote area when they witnessed a brightly shining disc silently cross the sky at low altitude before disappearing within seconds.

Public Relations and Member Engagement

UFO-Sverige is seeking suggestions on how to increase its public awareness and become a known organization. They are asking members to send in their ideas for public relations activities. As a first step, members are encouraged to advertise UFO-Sverige in their local newspapers on September 4th, using a suggested ad format.

Members are also asked to submit letters to the editor of TV's complaint column on September 11th, mentioning the newly formed national organization for UFO groups and urging TV to cover it.

UFO-Sverige exchanges UFO news with foreign organizations and is looking for individuals who can help translate foreign material into Swedish, particularly those who can handle Belgian and Dutch.

The "International UFO-Petition to the United Nations" project is mentioned, and members are urged to help by requesting and distributing petition forms.

Material Requests

Anders Liljegren from Norrköping is seeking material on the "ghost bombs" of 1946, including newspaper clippings, letters, personal accounts, public and political reactions, observations, photographs, reconstructions, drawings, and maps. He is also interested in material from the period up to 1946 and the years 1947-49. He is also looking for people willing to search local newspapers for material on the ghost bombs.

Liljegren is also seeking drawings and sketches of UFOs and UFO pilots, preferably in color, for foreign clients. These will be used to create slides for presentations.

Slide Lending

IGF offers two series of slides for loan: Series 1 contains 31 images by artists like G. Adamski, D. Fry, and H. Menger. Series 2 has 16 images, all by Paul Villa. The maximum loan period is one week.

Daniel Fry in Sweden

Dr. Daniel W. Fry is visiting Sweden and met with members of UFO-Motala, UFO-Linköping, and UFO-Stockholm. His visit is to explore the possibility of expanding his "Understanding" project to Sweden. This project aims to establish a social science based on understanding between people to prevent humanity from destroying itself with its superweapons. Dr. Fry believes that a scientific foundation for social relationships, similar to that in physics, is needed. He proposes a congress of representatives from all nations and ideologies to identify common ground and establish this social science. The congress is planned to last a year and requires a thousand delegates, with an estimated cost of ten million dollars.

UFO-Skaraborg and Public Perception

An article by Björn Lippold from UFO-Skaraborg expresses pleasure at the positive reception of UFO-Sverige's participation in an exhibition in Hjo. The exhibition generated significant public interest, with many visitors finding the UFO display to be the most interesting part of the event. The article suggests that increased public interest might lead to more activity from FOA (Swedish Defence Research Agency) in addressing UFO phenomena. The author criticizes FOA's tendency to dismiss sightings as balloons or satellites and warns that this approach could lead to a loss of public trust.

UFO News from Home and Abroad (UFORAMA)

This section compiles current UFO news from Sweden and abroad. It includes reports from Swedish newspapers and international UFO periodicals.

• Swedish Sightings:
• Värmland (June 15, 1970): A strange phenomenon was observed, with initial speculation suggesting it was a weather balloon. A conscripted weather assistant described a triangular object with lights and a greenish-yellow gas. An observer described it as a triangular celluloid disc with dark red markings.
• Norrbotten (June 22, 1970): White, shiny objects were observed at high altitude. Piteå Tidning reported on a phenomenon that radar estimated to be at 15 km altitude, possibly a large weather balloon.
• Östersund (June 23, 1970): A triangular, metallic, shiny object was observed, with explanations ranging from balloons to other phenomena.
• Härnösand (June 21 & 22, 1970): A bright, triangular object was observed at high altitude. Meteorologists suggested it could be a weather balloon, while military personnel considered it potentially a military object. The object's slow movement and hovering capabilities were noted.
• Boren Lake Area (August 6, 1970): Several luminous phenomena were observed over Lake Boren. Two UFO-Motala members, Carl-Axel Jonzon and Lennart Carlsson, witnessed multiple objects of varying size and intensity. Some ascended from the ground, others hovered, and some appeared to be red-yellow and flaming, illuminating the ground with a blue-white light.

• International News:
• Västvärmland (Date not specified): A peculiar golden ball, the size of a teacup, was observed moving from east to west.
• Chile: A 4.2-meter metal sphere was found, which scientists determined was not made of any known terrestrial metal. It is resistant to heat, acids, and cutting, and emits no radiation, sound, or odor. It is believed to be of extraterrestrial origin.
• St. Thomas, St. Croix, and other West Indian islands: Inhabitants reported seeing a disc-shaped UFO on the morning of a Tuesday. The object was visible for ten minutes.

UFO Detectors and Documentaries

A UFO detector developed in the USA is mentioned, capable of detecting various types of light, radiation, and magnetic fields. Its price is $80.

Swedish TV has acquired the rights to show the film "Ra 2." The magazine encourages UFO organizations to advocate for the screening of other UFO documentaries, such as "Unexplained" by NBC and "Die Delegation" in Germany.

Mysterious Spheres in Denmark

Two mysterious, small, red-glowing spherical objects were found in Denmark. One was discovered on a beach in Blokhus, Jutland, and is described as a marble-like sphere with a needle-like instrument. It is radioactive but not dangerous. Another similar sphere was found the previous year. Both have been handed over to scientific institutions for study, but no explanation has been found.

Editorial Stance and Recurring Themes

The magazine consistently reports on UFO sightings and related phenomena, primarily within Sweden but also including international news. There is a clear emphasis on documenting these events and encouraging public participation in reporting observations. The publication also engages with the scientific and governmental response to UFOs, often expressing skepticism towards official explanations like weather balloons and advocating for more serious investigation. The role of UFO-Sverige as a national organization is a recurring theme, with efforts to increase its visibility and membership. The magazine also highlights the work of researchers and organizations dedicated to the study of UFOs, such as UFO-Motala and IGF.

This issue of Flying Saucer Review, dated March/April 1970, features a cover headline about the AAAS Symposium and includes articles on UFO phenomena, ancient mathematics, and potential extraterrestrial technology.

AAAS Symposium in Boston

The main article details the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) UFO symposium held in Boston from December 26-31, 1969. The symposium's purpose was to inform scientists about the importance of UFO issues and to allow them to explore different perspectives, especially concerning the Condon Report. The event proceeded despite a severe snowstorm that threatened to cancel it. A press conference was held on the first day, with Dr. Hynek being the most positive about UFOs, while Dr. Hartman was the most critical. Dr. Walter Orr Roberts, president of AAAS, maintained a neutral stance, emphasizing the need for scientific open-mindedness. The most significant outcome was a resolution passed to the U.S. Air Force, urging them to:

1. Preserve all Blue Book material without alterations.
2. Immediately declassify all documents archived at the Wright-Patterson AFB's Air Force Phenomenon Division, currently classified under AFR 200-2 and AFR 80-17.
3. Make these declassified documents accessible to qualified scientific researchers at a suitable location, such as a major Midwestern university.
4. Request an annual review of remaining classified documents to determine when they can be declassified in accordance with USAF security regulations.

The resolution was signed by several notable individuals, including Thornton Page, Walter Orr Roberts, Franklin E. Roach, William Hartman, Lester Grinspoon, Robert Hall, Philip Morrison, Douglass Price-Williams, J. Allen Hynek, James McDonald, Carl Sagan, and Walter Sullivan.

The Maury Island Case

The issue recounts the Maury Island incident through the testimony of Harold Dahl to Kenneth Arnold. On June 21, 1947, while on his patrol boat near Maury Island, Dahl and his crew observed six large, disk-shaped craft circling a seventh. The descending craft hovered about 150 meters above the boat. The objects made no noise. Dahl estimated the 'disks' to be about 30 meters in diameter with a 7-8 meter hole in the center, shaped like flattened inner tubes, with a metallic, gold-silver hue. They had round 'vents' and a dark band around the interior. Dahl took photographs. After about 5-6 minutes, one craft descended and hovered near the boat. A loud 'bang' was heard, and the central 'disk' ejected thousands of light, white metallic 'newspapers.' Simultaneously, a rain of dark, lava-like metal fell, some of which was hot, causing steam when it hit the water. The dog on board was killed, and Dahl's son was injured by a piece of metal. The craft then departed westward. Radio communication failed after the incident. Dahl discussed the event with Fred L. Crisman, who initially showed skepticism but later investigated the site, finding approximately 20 tons of metallic slag. Crisman also reported seeing a similar craft days later. The film taken by Dahl showed white spots on the negatives, similar to those appearing near X-ray rooms, and the 'disks' were also visible.

The article also references other UFO sightings reported around the same time, including objects seen near Spokane and by an air force pilot near Lake Meade, Nevada. Kenneth Arnold's own sighting of nine disks on June 24, 1947, near Mt. Rainer, is mentioned as the event that popularized the term 'flying saucer.'

Investigation and Cover-up Allegations

Following the Maury Island incident, Arnold contacted Raymond Palmer, editor of Amazing Stories Magazine. Palmer had received similar metallic fragments from Dahl and Crisman. An UP correspondent reported that a Major Georg Sander from McChord Air Force Base admitted that the crashed bomber plane (which crashed shortly after the Maury Island incident) carried 'classified material.' Sander, described as a middle-aged man with a soft voice, initially dismissed the incident as a prank and promised a two-week explanation, suggesting it was a normal accident. However, his subsequent actions, including collecting all the metallic debris, led Arnold and Smith to suspect he was more than he appeared. They visited Dahl's house, only to find it empty and abandoned, despite Tacoma's housing shortage. The article suggests that government agents may have been involved in a cover-up to silence the case, or that the objects were related to 'gods from space.' The metallic fragments were reportedly sent for analysis, with one analysis from Chicago University suggesting an 'ethereal origin' and the presence of 'good and evil forces' in space.

Meditation Over a Banana

This section offers a philosophical reflection on how to meditate by contemplating everyday objects. The author uses the example of a banana to illustrate how even common items can reveal deeper insights. The banana's form, its protective peel, and its lack of natural seeds suggest it might be a product of artificial genetic manipulation, possibly by an advanced ancient civilization. The author posits that such civilizations, capable of altering genetics, might have faced self-destruction due to their own advancements. This leads to a broader discussion of cyclical development and decline in human history.

Nature's 'Mystical' Numbers and Vimaana Construction

This section delves into the mathematical properties of numbers considered 'mystical' by science, such as 3, 7, 12, 13, and 27. The author argues that nature operates on a system based on these numbers, which is fundamentally different from the human decimal system. The article highlights the triadic nature of fundamental forces (gravitational, magnetic, electric) and their interactions. It suggests that ancient civilizations understood these natural laws, which were later misinterpreted as mysticism by religions. The concept of 'Vimaana' (ancient flying machines) is introduced, with a detailed explanation of a geometric construction plan. This plan, derived from principles of circle squaring and specific numerical ratios (like 3/7, 5/7, 6/7), is presented as a blueprint for constructing such devices. The article posits that these ancient technologies were based on a deep understanding of natural laws and possibly advanced physics, far beyond current human comprehension. The author criticizes modern science for its inability to recognize or accept the possibility of higher technologies or extraterrestrial civilizations due to its inherent limitations and biases.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the ongoing investigation into UFO phenomena, the potential for government secrecy and cover-ups, the search for scientific explanations for anomalous events, and the exploration of ancient knowledge and technology. The magazine appears to advocate for a more open-minded and less dogmatic approach to these subjects, challenging conventional scientific paradigms and suggesting that much can be learned from studying historical accounts and natural phenomena. The editorial stance seems to be one of critical inquiry, questioning established narratives and encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations for unexplained events and ancient mysteries.

This issue of VIMAANAS FASADKONSTRUKTION, identified by issue number 33, focuses on the detailed geometric construction of a craft referred to as 'Vimaana'. The magazine presents intricate diagrams and step-by-step instructions for building this craft, suggesting it is an ancient flying machine.

Vimaana Facade Construction

The core of the magazine details the geometric construction of the Vimaana's facade. This involves a series of numbered steps (19-35) that guide the reader through drawing specific lines, circles, and arcs to form the craft's structure. Key elements described include the stator, cabin, hull thickness, roof, sides, and the craft's 'upper lens' and 'lower lens'. The construction utilizes a coordinate system with x and y axes and references specific points and radii, such as r=C-X and r=6/7. The process is highly technical, involving precise measurements and geometric constructions.

Biblical Interpretations and Ancient Technology

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to reinterpreting biblical narratives through the lens of advanced ancient technology, specifically the Vimaana. The author argues that figures like Ezekiel and Abraham witnessed and described flying objects, which have been misinterpreted by traditional biblical scholars.

Ezekiel's Vision

Ezekiel's vision is presented not as a spiritual revelation but as a direct observation of a 'flying saucer' (flygande tefat). The author criticizes biblical scholars for misinterpreting Ezekiel's attempts to describe the observed object, attributing his detailed account to a complex philosophical or prophetic nature rather than a straightforward description by a simple herdsman with keen observational skills.

Abraham and the 'Smoking Oven'

The biblical description of a 'smoking oven with a flaming light' from Abraham's covenant is cited as a more accurate and concise description of a Vimaana than the term 'flying saucer'. The magazine notes that such ovens were common in ancient villages and suggests this biblical passage is a direct, albeit symbolic, reference to the craft.

Aron and the Golden Calf

The creation of the golden calf by Aron is also reinterpreted. The author disputes the common understanding that the Israelites demanded an Egyptian god. Instead, it is argued that they requested a representation of the 'gods' that led them out of Egypt, which were perceived as luminous, disc-shaped objects ('guldskivan' - the golden disc). The text suggests that the 'golden calf' was a physical representation of this disc-shaped craft.

Symbolism and Egyptian Art

The magazine explores the symbolic representation of the Vimaana in ancient Egyptian art. The 'winged sun disc' is identified as a symbol that encompasses the Vimaana's key features: the sun disc representing the cabin, the wings representing the screen, and the 'eyes' symbolizing the lens. The two snakes are interpreted as electrical conduits, and the three 'tears' as drive organs. This symbolic image is linked to the human face and is presented as a depiction of the human body's functions.

Measurement Systems and Biblical Textual Analysis

The article delves into biblical measurements, particularly those related to angels and the construction of Jerusalem. It argues that these measurements are based on a human-centric system, possibly related to the dimensions of the Vimaana. The author critically examines the textual history of the Bible, suggesting that vowels were added much later, potentially leading to misinterpretations. The possibility of missing biblical texts, possibly containing advanced technological information, is raised, referencing the search for 'asylums' in Jerusalem.

The Great Flood and Earth's Rotation

The magazine discusses the biblical account of the Great Flood, contrasting the biblical chronology with geological findings. It suggests that the biblical narrative might be a distorted account of a global catastrophe, possibly related to the Earth ceasing its rotation. The phenomenon of the sun and moon standing still, as described in Joshua, is interpreted as the Earth stopping its spin, leading to massive tidal waves.

Editorial Stance and Conclusion

The magazine adopts a critical stance towards conventional interpretations of history, religion, and science. It posits that much of human knowledge, particularly regarding ancient civilizations and technology, has been suppressed or misinterpreted. The Vimaana is presented as a key to understanding these hidden truths. The final pages include a philosophical reflection on the state of civilization, the role of technology, and the choice between evolution and extinction, urging readers to embrace change.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the reinterpretation of ancient texts (particularly the Bible) to reveal hidden technological knowledge, the detailed geometric construction of advanced ancient craft (Vimaana), and the critique of mainstream historical and religious scholarship. The editorial stance is one of uncovering suppressed truths and challenging established paradigms, suggesting that ancient civilizations possessed technology far beyond current understanding, and that this knowledge is encoded in religious and historical records. The magazine advocates for a broader, more open-minded approach to understanding our past and the universe.
