Cover Story: "Flying Saucer" Sighted Near Karlskoga!

The cover of this issue of UFO-Information features a prominent headline announcing a sighting of a "flying saucer" near Karlskoga, Sweden. The accompanying text details a personal account from a witness who, while on a late-night walk near his summer cabin, observed a circular object at least five meters in diameter hovering about 10 meters above a meadow. The object emitted a greenish phosphorescent glow and made sudden sideways movements. The witness also reported seeing beings moving behind a glass-like surface on the craft. He emphasizes that he was wide awake and sober, and that the experience was not a dream. He speculates that authorities might suppress such reports to avoid public anxiety.

Key UFO/UAP Incidents Reported

This issue presents several detailed accounts of UFO and UAP sightings from the early 1990s:

Malden, Massachusetts, USA (October 6, 1990)

A 32-year-old salesman reported seeing a disc-shaped object, approximately 20 seconds long, at about 21:45. The metallic grey craft had six lights running around its perimeter and hovered about 105 meters above a church. The lights were described as blue-green, orange-yellow, and purple-blue. When the witness pointed at the object, it moved about 120 meters to the right in less than a second, paused behind some trees, and then vanished. The witness felt a vibration in his head as the object approached. Another witness, the driver of the car, refused to comment.

Boyle, Mississippi, USA (January 20, 1990)

Around 01:20, a man driving home from work encountered a silver-colored object hovering at treetop height. As he got closer, he could discern a disc about 12-15 meters in diameter. The object's surface had a slight ripple, and it was adorned with two rows of blue-green lights. One row ran along the base, and the other along the flat underside. The object increased speed and followed the man's car for 3-5 kilometers, maneuvering left and right to avoid trees. Suddenly, the car's engine and electrical system shut down. The man braked and watched as the object made an elegant turn and ascended rapidly, disappearing from view. After the object left, the car's engine started normally again. The observation lasted about 4 minutes. The witness had previously reported a similar sighting on October 24, 1988.

Mountain Home, Arkansas, USA (January 22, 1990)

At approximately 18:00, a farmer was tending to his livestock when he noticed blinking lights in the distance. He called his family to witness a large, dark, airship-shaped object slowly passing almost directly overhead. Clusters of red, green, and white blinking lights were present at each end, with a separate cluster on a horizontal cable at one end. As the object was almost out of sight, it turned back, descended, and directed powerful spotlights perpendicularly towards the ground. It then continued on a straight course until it disappeared. The family's two dogs barked continuously during the event. The total observation time was about 20 minutes. A call to a nearby airport confirmed that no large aircraft were in the area.

Willard, Utah, USA (February 10, 1992)

Three children—a nine-year-old girl and two boys, aged 10 and 11—were playing in a field near their homes. They heard a strange noise and looked up to see a disc-shaped object, about 3 meters in diameter, swinging back and forth at treetop height across the road. They described it as dull metallic grey with an illuminated dome on top, featuring something resembling an antenna. The object remained stationary for a while before rapidly flying north. The reporting father was convinced of his children's honesty, noting that they were excited and not prone to making things up.
