Cover Story: Virvlande UFO på västtysk väg!

The cover of this issue features a striking illustration of a UFO sighting on a German road. The main article details the experience of Max Krauss, a 65-year-old pensioner, who on April 9, 1970, encountered a 'whirling UFO' on a rural road near Langenschemmen, Germany. Krauss described the object as a transparent sphere, about 40 cm in diameter, with spokes and a dark, ekerförsett (spoke-equipped) center. From this center, a beam-like appendage, described as a 'slang' (hose or slang), extended downwards, seemingly into the ditch water. The object rotated counter-clockwise and moved silently, gliding close to the ground. Krauss was unable to interact with it, only observe. The object then moved across the road, stopped, and vanished instantly upwards with lightning speed. He noted that birds had flown away just before the encounter. The article also includes details about the object's characteristics, such as the telescopic and possibly extendable spokes, the diameter of the dark core, a milky zone, and a blueish outer shell. The source of this report is cited as Flying Saucer Review, Vol 18, nr 4, July-August 1972.

Editorial and Content

The magazine's editorial, titled "1983 — ett vändpunktsår för UFO-Information!" (1983 - a turning point year for UFO-Information!), announces that the publication is entering its fourteenth year. The editorial team plans to maintain the new format and expand the content. For 1983, they intend to introduce a series on developing psychic abilities, such as telepathy and clairvoyance, and explore topics like Voodoo and out-of-body experiences. The magazine also aims to broaden its content to include experiments readers can perform and UFO articles in the usual vein. They encourage readers to become members to support these initiatives. The editorial also addresses a reader's letter concerning an article about hunters being killed and 'drained of blood' by UFO visitors, suggesting that if UFOs perform experiments resulting in death, it could be perceived as hostile, similar to how animals might perceive humans performing experiments on them.

Articles and Reports

This issue contains a wide array of UFO-related reports and articles:

• Upplevelsespråket (The Language of Experience): An article by Klas Sefastsson exploring how to 'theoretically' experience and understand emotions like joy, sorrow, truth, and lies, suggesting a deeper, more intuitive form of perception beyond the five senses.

• Vad hände egentligen vid den gåtfulla kraschen? (What really happened during the mysterious crash?):
• This article investigates a report from January 23, 1981, concerning bright blue-white flashes and a loud sound over Minnesota and North Dakota. It links this event to the crashes of two military F-4 Phantom jets, one near Omaha and another in North Carolina. The official explanation was that the planes were so damaged that no part was larger than a cigarette, but a witness with military background reported finding a Sidewinder rocket part. The article questions why McDonnell-Douglas would be flying a plane equipped with such a rocket in a defensive exercise at night. It also mentions that the crash sites were aligned with the path of an object observed earlier that evening. A police assistant reported seeing three objects, one emitting a bright white light that resembled a rocket launch.

• Gav rymdvarelser lift till UFO! (Aliens gave a lift to a UFO!):
• A witness in Cuernavaca, Mexico, recounts an encounter with two individuals who claimed to be from another planet. They revealed knowledge of his life and offered to help with his 'biggest problem' – a swollen vein. They claimed to belong to the same cosmic group and offered a better way of life if he could 'come out of his darkness'. The witness later saw a flying saucer rise from behind a hill where the individuals had been.

• Dansk bonde botad av två ufonauter! (Danish farmer healed by two ufologists!):
• This article tells the story of a Danish farmer who, in February 1957, was severely ill. He encountered two beings who communicated telepathically and offered to heal him. They claimed to be from a planet in the same solar system but not visible from Earth. They stated they help people by preventing disasters and negative events. The farmer was healed, and his swollen vein disappeared. He later saw a flying saucer emerge from behind a hill where the beings had been.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO sightings, encounters, and related phenomena, often with a focus on eyewitness accounts and investigations. There is a recurring theme of the potential for enhanced human perception and psychic abilities, as suggested by the articles on 'Upplevelsespråket' and the upcoming series on psychic development. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFOs, encouraging reader participation and sharing of experiences. The magazine also touches upon the possibility of advanced technology, government secrecy, and the potential for extraterrestrial contact. The publication aims to educate its readers about the UFO phenomenon and related subjects, promoting a broader understanding of reality beyond conventional scientific explanations.

This issue of "UFO-Information" from 1983, volume 29, features a cover story titled "Antennförsett UFO skrämde ungdomar" (Antenna-equipped UFO Scared Youth), detailing an encounter in France. The magazine presents a collection of UFO sightings, encounters, and alleged abductions from various parts of the world, translated into Swedish.

Article: Antennförsett UFO skrämde ungdomar (Antenna-equipped UFO Scared Youth)

This article recounts an incident from October 16, 1980, in Labatut, Ariège, France. A young couple, referred to as 'Mr. and Mrs. X', were returning home late at night when their dog suddenly ran out of the house and into the dark, rainy night. While searching for their dog, they encountered an intensely bright, orange-red light. Initially mistaking it for a fire or the moon, they soon realized it was an unidentified object. The object was described as having a 'swan neck' and an antenna. Mr. X estimated the object to be about 15 meters long and 7 meters high, with a 'tail' or antenna extending 20-25 meters. The object was illuminated by an intense, orange-red light emanating from vents and an antenna that moved up and down. The couple observed the object resting on an 'air cushion'. They noted that the object's light was as intense as 'burning coals'. After observing it for a while, they drove home, woke Mr. X's mother-in-law, and reported the event. Mr. X later returned to the site but did not approach the object. The article mentions that similar sightings have occurred in neighboring villages.

Article: UFO-fenomen vid S:t Helens (UFO Phenomena at St. Helens)

This report details unusual light phenomena observed near the St. Helens volcano in the USA. On April 1, 1980, police in St. Helens reported seeing sharp, yellowish-red lights in the sky over the Columbia River. Police officer Russ Yokum reported seeing a light phenomenon northeast of the volcano at approximately 4:02 AM and alerted his colleagues. Four other officers also witnessed the lights, describing them as dome-shaped. Later, about fifteen people saw another light southeast of St. Helens simultaneously with the first light being enveloped in fog. A radio amateur confirmed the observation of the second light and recorded a whining sound emanating from it, which he compared to a ship's whistle. A colleague of Yokum reported seeing the light descend towards the river and heard a crashing sound before the light disappeared. Police checked for aircraft in the area but found no explanation.

Article: Kvinnliga ufonauter landade i Queensland (Female Ufonauts Landed in Queensland)

This article describes an encounter in southwestern Queensland, Australia, on June 22, 1977. Gold prospector Albert Smith reported seeing three lights in the sky that flew towards him and landed near his remote camp. Smith claimed that human-like beings emerged from the craft. Over two days, he interacted with these beings, whom he described as men and women. They came from a place called Begua. The women wore summer dresses, and the men wore gray suits. The spacecraft were described as 50 meters high with five landing gears. The leader of the group was named Behnar. Smith noted that the beings had a grayish-blue skin color and that their skin felt like soft rubber. They communicated telepathically and seemed to know what he was going to ask. One woman claimed to be 490 years old and looked like an Egyptian mummy. They played a game involving hundreds of flashing balls, and the beings could jump 60 meters. Before leaving, Behnar promised to 'arrange rain,' and it subsequently rained for a full week. Smith had previously witnessed other UFOs and a brightly lit UFO in 1976. He stated he had not reported these events to any authorities due to their extraordinary nature.

Article: Ovanligt landningsfall I WISCONSIN (Unusual Landing Case in Wisconsin)

This report from Waukesha, Wisconsin, details an incident where a couple camping in a van was awakened by an intense light. One of the locked doors of their van opened, and their dog was taken out. The couple looked out and saw a circular craft about 18 meters in diameter. Approximately twenty men, each about 180 cm tall, emerged from the craft. One man held a white German Shepherd on a leash. No one spoke. Then, four small beings, about 120 cm tall, came out and behaved like children, climbing trees and jumping around. One of the men went to wake another couple in a nearby tent, but by the time he returned, the craft and its occupants had vanished.

Article: Ufonauter rövade bort EN SCHÄFERHUND (Ufonauts Abducted A GERMAN SHEPHERD)

This article recounts an event from 1954 in central France, which became known much later due to the witnesses' reluctance to speak about it for fear of losing their reputation. The story is told by a former engineer from a world-renowned electrical company who shared his experience during a week-long hospital stay. The engineer and his wife were on an evening walk with their German Shepherd near a lake. After releasing the dog, they noticed a flashing blue-yellow light, similar to an ambulance light. The dog did not return as usual. Approaching the lake, they saw a hovering object resembling a flattened pyramid, about 60 meters wide and the height of a two-story building. The underside emitted a sharp yellow light, and a horizontal ring rotated, emitting the blue-yellow light. The air was filled with a humming sound. From about 500 meters away, a phosphorescent mass detached from the UFO and moved towards them. They felt paralyzed. The mass transformed into a figure about 1.80 meters tall, wearing a tight-fitting phosphorescent overall. The being communicated telepathically, stating they were from a planet called Adler and that they were not to be feared. The engineer's watch and rifle were found to be slightly magnetic, and the soldier who had been guarding the barracks disappeared and reappeared with his hair and beard grown, indicating a passage of time. His memory of the event was lost.

Article: Bortförd av UFO (Abducted by UFO)

This section briefly mentions two cases of individuals who disappeared and reappeared after a period of time, with evidence of time distortion. The first is the case of Chilean Corporal Armando Valdes, who disappeared on April 25, 1977, and reappeared with his clock showing several days later and his beard having grown. The second case involves a soldier guarding a barracks in Yunnan Province, China, in the autumn of 1975. He disappeared while on duty and reappeared later, with his hair and beard having grown significantly, and his memory of the event erased. His watch had also stopped, making it impossible to determine the exact duration of his absence.

Article: UFO-LANDNING I AUSTRALIEN (UFO LANDING IN AUSTRALIA)

This article, based on a report from the Albury Border Morning Mail on March 16, 1961, details an investigation by the Australian Flying Saucer Review into a suspected UFO landing site near Albury. Researchers interviewed witnesses, including F. Reynolds, who, along with his 15-year-old son Lloyd, was camping near Hume Weir. At approximately 8:45 PM, Reynolds observed a strange camp with a large caravan, a red light, and four figures moving rapidly between the caravan and a bonfire. He described the red light as pulsating and the figures as moving erratically. The caravan, red light, and bonfire vanished by the next morning. Reynolds found a muddy patch where the camp had been, but there were no unusual tracks or traces of a fire, despite the wet ground. Other witnesses in the area reported seeing unusual lights and phenomena, including a bright yellow light moving east towards Beechworth, a bright red light disappearing behind the eastern mountains, and an unusual, bright red light beam that appeared to be a kilometer long. E. Staff reported seeing a small cloud-like object moving at high speed towards Beechworth, emitting flames like a jet plane.
