This issue of UFO NFORMATION, dated 1985, explores various facets of UFO phenomena, including potential origins, technological aspects, and personal encounters. The cover features a sketch of a man, identified as G. Pemsl, and the main headline poses the question: "UFOs – perhaps angels and gods."

UFOs: Angels and Gods

The lead article, "UFO:s – kanske änglar och gudar" (UFOs – perhaps angels and gods), addresses common inquiries about the origin of UFOs. The author dismisses the theory that UFOs are advanced craft from Nazi Germany, asserting that such phenomena predate the Nazi era, citing ancient texts like the Bible. The article posits that UFOs might be extraterrestrial visitors who have been present since Earth's formation, and suggests a connection to the angels and gods described in religious texts. This connection is presented as significant for human existence and origins. The author further speculates that UFOs represent two categories: the 'angelic/godly' visitors and 'junk' or probes from other civilizations exploring the universe. The possibility of other civilizations sending out probes, similar to Earth's own satellite launches, is also discussed.

How to Make Your Own Psychic Motor

An article titled "Så här gör du din egen psykmotor!" (How to make your own psychic motor!) details the creation and use of a 'psychic motor.' This device, described as a small paper cylinder that spins without physical contact, is presented as a 'parapsychological sensation' from 1981. The article explains that this phenomenon is attributed to psychokinetic energy or PSI-energy, believed to emanate from the human aura. Sten Dramstad, an engineer who has studied the psychic motor for five years, shares his experiences, noting its consistent spinning behavior and its responsiveness to hand direction (counter-clockwise with the right hand, clockwise with the left). Experiments conducted in Moscow suggest that PSI-energy flows from the left hand, but 'negative PSI-forces' can cause the motor to spin in the opposite direction. Dramstad also discovered that a vortex-like phenomenon, visible with cigarette smoke, forms in front of the hand when operating the motor. The article provides step-by-step instructions for constructing a psychic motor using cardboard, a needle, and a bottle, emphasizing the need for a quiet, draft-free environment and mental concentration.

UFO Over a Copper Smelter

This section recounts a significant UFO sighting that occurred on October 23, 1980, in Morenci, Arizona. Five smelter workers witnessed a boomerang-shaped object approaching from the north at an altitude of approximately 450-600 meters. The object, described as matte black and resembling a 1.2 cm thick steel plate, hovered silently over the smelter's northern chimney. It then descended to about 200-300 meters and emitted a powerful light beam that illuminated the chimney. The witnesses described the light as brighter than a spotlight. After about 10 seconds, the beam extinguished, and the craft moved to hover over the southern chimney, repeating the process. The UFO then accelerated southward and disappeared. The object was estimated to be about 3 decimeters in apparent size at its closest approach. The report notes that the UFO later performed a sudden course change, returning to the smelter area before accelerating north and vanishing. The craft was described as having two main 'wings' with red lights, connected by white light tubes. The incident was investigated by APRO, and several other witnesses, including a sheriff and local businessmen, also observed the phenomenon.

A Boy Paralyzed by UFO Occupants

This article details an incident that occurred on February 6, 1969, in Pirassununga, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Several residents witnessed a luminous UFO in a small forest. A 19-year-old named Tiago Machado approached the object, described as a shiny blue parachute or flying saucer. He entered the woods and encountered two pilots and two other beings inside the craft. The beings, described as small men about 1.50 meters tall, wore tight, aluminum-like suits. Tiago experienced a strange sensation after a blue light beam from an instrument struck his thigh. He later reported feeling well but experienced stiffness and frequent blinking. The article also mentions a similar sighting by Tiago's neighbor, Dona Maria dos Santos, who saw a luminous, carrot-shaped UFO. The incident is corroborated by a doctor who examined Tiago and noted his unusual physical state.

Encounter with a UFO

This section describes an encounter that took place in the winter of 1969. The narrator and his wife were driving when they saw what they initially perceived as a blue-grey Volkswagen. The vehicle appeared to be moving erratically. When the car disappeared behind some bushes, it vanished completely. The narrator and his wife searched the area but found no trace of the vehicle, concluding that it must have been a UFO that ascended vertically.

The UFOlogist Who Became My Invisible Helper

This personal account describes a childhood dream in which the narrator encountered an extraterrestrial being who offered to become his invisible helper. The dream involved a spacecraft and a sense of profound kindness from the alien. Upon waking, the narrator discovered three burnt circles in the grass in his yard, suggesting the dream had a basis in reality. The narrator expresses gratitude for this 'invisible friend' and believes these encounters are more than just dreams, referencing crop circles as evidence.

Argentine Artist Abducted by UFO

This article recounts the experience of Argentine painter and sculptor Benjamin Solari Parravicini. He claims to have been taken aboard a UFO after encountering a tall, fair-skinned stranger. During the experience, he communicated telepathically with the beings and was given a tour of Earth from orbit. The aliens reportedly stated they were monitoring Earth to prevent catastrophe. Parravicini claims to have had multiple such encounters.

The Girl from Michigan Scared by a Close Encounter

This report details an incident involving Tammy Utt, a 17-year-old from Michigan, who reported a close encounter with a UFO. While driving home late at night, she observed two bright lights that followed her car. The object, described as having a flat top and sloping sides with red lights, landed briefly on the road behind some trees. Tammy, who had no prior interest in UFOs, was visibly shaken by the experience. The report notes that her account was corroborated by two other independent witnesses who saw strange lights in the sky. The object's silent operation and unusual maneuvers ruled out conventional aircraft like helicopters.

A Shiny Disc!

This brief account describes a sighting of a metallic, shiny disc-shaped UFO observed hovering calmly in the sky. The object was roughly half the size of the full moon and moved away at a steady, high speed. The observer noted that other people in the vicinity did not seem to notice the object.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, presenting UFO sightings and encounters as potentially significant events. There is a clear editorial stance that UFOs are not mere fabrications but warrant serious investigation. The articles often lean towards the idea that UFOs represent a genuine phenomenon, possibly with extraterrestrial origins, and their presence may have profound implications for humanity. The magazine encourages reader participation through submissions and tips, fostering a community of interest in the subject. The recurring themes include the mystery of UFO origins, the nature of alien intelligence, and the psychological impact of these encounters on witnesses.

This issue of UFO-INFORMATION, dated April 1973, focuses on the growing scientific acceptance of faster-than-light (FTL) speeds and detailed accounts of UFO sightings and alleged alien encounters. The magazine presents a shift in scientific thought, particularly from Russian scientists, who are beginning to consider the possibility of exceeding the speed of light, challenging Albert Einstein's theories.

Scientists Begin to Accept Faster-Than-Light Speeds

The lead article, "Vetenskapsmän i öst börjar acceptera överljushastigheten" (Scientists in the East Begin to Accept Faster-Than-Light Speed), discusses how Russian scientists, like Schklovskij and L. Matwienko, are now acknowledging experimental findings that suggest speeds thousands of times greater than light. While Schklovskij initially adhered to the maximum speed of light, he later conceded the possibility. The article highlights A.I. Weinik's work, which proposes a formula suggesting that macro-objects in a physical vacuum can achieve speeds that vastly surpass light speed, potentially reaching 2.1 billion km/sec. This would enable travel across vast interstellar distances, such as 37 light-years, in less than two days.

Astronomers are also considering the possibility of super-civilizations within the Milky Way's center, 30,000 light-years away, which could be reached in approximately 40 years with FTL capabilities. The article questions the assumption that extraterrestrial civilizations would use electromagnetic waves for communication, suggesting they might employ unknown waves or energy fields.

Documented UFO Incidents

The issue details several significant UFO events:

• Lake Onega Incident (April 1961): A UFO crashed into a lake, creating a large impact crater and breaking through ice. It then ascended vertically. Analysis of the site revealed unusual soil and water compositions, including microscopic black metal fragments.
• USA Explosion (1957): A UFO reportedly exploded over the USA, scattering debris and remains of sixteen male ufologists. Recovered metal fragments had a high density and contained zinc, copper, strontium, and magnesium.
• Underwater Object (1973): During naval exercises in the mid-Atlantic near Puerto Rico, American warships detected a mysterious underwater object moving at an incredible speed of 280 km/h, capable of rapid vertical maneuvers.
• Radar Anomaly (October 5, 1960): US radar systems detected five unknown objects moving at high speed from the Soviet Union towards the USA, prompting a military scramble. The objects changed direction and disappeared, with some media attributing it to a flock of geese, a claim dismissed by the author.

Alien Encounter in Argentina

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an alleged encounter in Tres Arroyos, Argentina, reported by Alfonso Rey, a 62-year-old retired engineer. Rey claims that while watching television, a strange, tall being (approximately 2 meters) wearing a blue-green suit and helmet appeared in his living room. The being, described as having a penetrating gaze and cold, 'insubstantial' hands, interacted with a device on its belt that emitted an amber light. Rey reported that his heart condition, stemming from a previous heart attack, disappeared during the encounter. The being reportedly vanished as mysteriously as it appeared.

Another report from Tres Arroyos describes a similar mysterious disappearance of a tall individual from a bar's restroom, with no visible exit.

Extraterrestrial Interest and Monitoring

The magazine suggests that extraterrestrials are keenly observing human activities, technological advancements, and military maneuvers. The disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle are speculated to be the work of ufologists. Reports of UFO sightings by American and Soviet cosmonauts further support the idea of constant extraterrestrial surveillance.

Public Response and Growing Belief

The article "Okända naturfenomen" (Unknown Natural Phenomena) from the Soviet newspaper 'Sozialitscheskaja Industrija' is cited, indicating a flood of letters from readers reporting UFO sightings and expressing their conviction that these phenomena are real. This suggests a widespread public awareness and belief in UFOs within the Soviet Union.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the scientific exploration of FTL travel, the detailed documentation of UFO sightings and incidents, and the implications of potential extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting evidence and theories that challenge conventional scientific understanding and suggesting that humanity is not alone in the universe. The magazine encourages serious consideration of UFO phenomena and their potential impact on our understanding of reality and defense.
