Key Articles and Reports

English Military Confirms UFO Landing (Page 4-6)

This extensive report details the alleged UFO landing incident in Rendlesham Forest, England, in December 1980. It recounts the testimony of an American airman who was part of a convoy investigating strange lights. The witness describes seeing a glowing object, encountering military personnel, and experiencing a loss of consciousness. The article references a report by Colonel Charles Halt of the USAF, which, while not explicitly confirming a landing, mentions unexplained lights and a triangular, glowing object observed by security police. The report also notes physical trace evidence, including indentations and radiation, found at the site. The article highlights the military's efforts to suppress information and the psychological impact on witnesses.

Giant "Torpedo" Observed During Atlantic Flight (Page 7-8)

This section presents an account from Gordon Creighton of Flying Saucer Review about a witness who saw a massive, dark gray "torpedo"-shaped object beneath a DC-8 aircraft during a NATO flight in May 1963. The witness, a NATO employee, described the object as enormous, steel-like, with no visible windows or wings, and perfectly streamlined. The object appeared stationary at first, then moved with the plane before accelerating away. The witness also reported unusual turbulence and loud noises within the aircraft cabin, which the flight crew attributed to pressure changes, though the witness suspected a connection to the sighting.

Pilot Encounters Ring-Shaped UFO Twice (Page 12-14)

This article details two separate sightings by a young pilot, identified as John Taylor, in California in 1980 and 1981. During the first encounter in November 1980, Taylor observed a drop-shaped, orange-glowing UFO that paralleled his aircraft and exhibited rapid acceleration and vertical ascent. The second sighting in August 1981 involved a similar "ring-encircled" UFO that caused his aircraft's radio and navigation equipment to malfunction. The pilot's credibility is emphasized due to his character and lack of prior UFO interest. The report notes that the UFO was not detected by air traffic control radar but did affect the pilot's plane.

UFOs Studied Brazilian Farm (Page 18-19)

This article recounts an experience of Benedito Cristovao da Silva, a tractor driver on a farm in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in August 1978. He reported being approached by a being wearing a helmet and uniform, who directed him to start his tractor. The being then observed Benedito's work and later guided him to a hovering craft. Benedito described being taken aboard the craft, which had round lights of changing colors, and then being returned to his tractor. He also noted seeing other beings and a fence that the beings passed through as if it wasn't there.

Spooky Events in an African House (Page 9)

This personal account describes a family's unsettling experiences in a rented house in Lagos, Portugal. The author and his wife reported objects moving on their own, doors opening and closing violently, and strange noises like dancing and music. They also experienced unexplained time discrepancies and felt cold touches. The author's wife was initially reluctant to leave, enjoying the house's location, but the phenomena persisted. The article also touches upon the author's personal experiences with what he interprets as communication from deceased relatives through distinct floral scents.

Strange Event in Western Sweden (Page 10-11)

This report details an incident involving two women jogging in Gothenburg, Sweden. They encountered a figure in a black bodysuit who then disappeared into a pillar of light. One of the witnesses, Britt-Marie Johansson, felt drawn to investigate and described the pillar as a beam of light. The incident occurred in a wooded area known for its historical significance. Another witness, Lars Karlsson, is mentioned as having seen similar phenomena in the area.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-INFORMATION strongly emphasizes witness testimony and the potential for military cover-ups regarding UFO phenomena. The articles present detailed accounts of alleged encounters, often highlighting the psychological impact on witnesses and the difficulties in obtaining official confirmation. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of serious inquiry into these events, encouraging reader contributions and investigations. The transition in editorship suggests a commitment to continuing the exploration of these unexplained phenomena.

This issue of UFO-INFORMATION, dated July 1962, features a cover story titled "Tefat sköt raketer på natthimlen" (Flying saucers shot rockets in the night sky) by Coral E. Lorenzen. The magazine is published by A.P.R.O. Bulletin and is in Swedish.

Article 1: Benedito's Encounter

The first article details an encounter experienced by a farm worker named Benedito. He observed a UFO with red lights and a beam that illuminated the ground. The craft emitted green, orange, and red flashes. A being emerged from the UFO, signaling Benedito to board. The being then ascended, briefly blinding Benedito with its lamp. Benedito later saw the UFO again, which displayed similar light patterns. The incident led to investigations of his property, but nothing was missing. Benedito reported that the experience made him more open to his work and less afraid of people.

Article 2: The Luli Oswald and FG Case

This lengthy report, written by Irene Granchi and translated by Elisabeth von Bahr, details an extraordinary experience of Luli Oswald and FG in Brazil. While driving to Saquarema, they encountered a UFO with three lights and a large, dome-like object. Their car experienced erratic behavior, and they reported a period of memory loss. During a hypnotic regression session conducted by Dr. Silvio Lago, Luli described being taken aboard a craft. She initially perceived the beings as having friendly, triangular faces but later described them as having 'rat-like' faces with large ears and no noses. She detailed a gynecological examination and a painful examination of her ears using a light beam. FG was also examined, with tubes inserted into his head. Luli described the craft as being controlled by light beams and mentioned a possible connection to Antarctica and a tunnel to another world. The report also includes corroborating testimony from a gas station attendant and a fisherman who had seen strange lights and objects.

Article 3: Westmoreland Brothers' Sighting

Written by Coral E. Lorenzen, this article recounts the experience of 14-year-old John Westmoreland and his brother James, along with their friend Ronnie Black, who witnessed a UFO event on the night of June 25, 1962, in Tucson, Arizona. They observed a bright object that behaved unusually, eventually taking on a triangular shape. At approximately 00:15, the object fired three green blasts or rockets. A second, smaller UFO then appeared and seemed to absorb a 'blast' from the first. A third, larger UFO was also observed. The boys made notes and drawings of the event. The article also mentions that the UFO emitted a red light from its opening when a 'rope-like' object was lowered to the ground.
