Editorial: To Our Readers!

Sune Hjorth's editorial reflects on the magazine's purpose and the challenges faced by truth-seekers. He laments the prevalence of power-seeking, ignorance, prejudice, intolerance, and fanaticism on Earth. Hjorth suggests that humanity would be better off if people could free themselves from false doctrines and embrace truth, knowledge, wisdom, and love, learning from their mistakes and living according to the laws of creation. He notes societal deficiencies and poses the question of how to improve them, referencing an article on 'A Better World' for potential solutions. The editorial calls for a vision of a just society and questions why no political organization advocates for fair wealth distribution and the abolition of extreme income and wealth privileges. It emphasizes that while extraterrestrial visitors may be advanced, humanity must take responsibility for its own future and avoid catastrophe through spiritual and social development.

Immanuel - Son of a Space Man (7)

This installment continues the narrative of Immanuel, presenting a highly unconventional interpretation of his life and death. It begins by comparing the trial of Jesus to the totalitarian nature of ancient Jewish society. The article claims that Immanuel was the son of an extraterrestrial, referred to as 'God,' and that his teachings were about a higher truth. It describes his trial and crucifixion, suggesting that his death was faked. Josef of Arimathea, an alleged secret follower, is said to have taken Immanuel's body to a tomb, where he was revived by his followers using healing herbs. The article then describes a UFO landing near the tomb, from which an 'angel' (interpreted as an alien) emerged, incapacitating the Roman guards with a beam from a 'laser pistol.'

Following his 'resurrection,' Immanuel reportedly appeared to his disciples. The article claims he predicted the distortion of his teachings and their eventual re-establishment in a new era. It recounts his departure in a metallic, light-emitting craft. Immanuel is said to have then traveled to Syria and lived in Damascus for two years, unrecognized. He received news that his teachings were being distorted and his followers persecuted. The narrative then describes an encounter where Immanuel, disguised, confronts Saulus (later Paul) on the road to Damascus, blinding him with a bright light and causing him to question his actions. The article concludes by stating that Immanuel, along with his mother and brother, traveled extensively, eventually dying at the age of 113 in Srinagar, Kashmir.

US Authorities' Secret Moon Bases

This article, referencing a previous piece, claims that by the late 1950s, US authorities, using alien 'saucer technology,' had established bases on the Moon. Two bases, Cassini and Archimedes, were allegedly built in two years, operated jointly by the US and Soviet Union, without public knowledge. Archimedes was located in a crater, covered by a transparent, airtight dome. The article describes the bases as having airlocks for spacecraft from Earth and Mars, and internal facilities. The personnel were divided into pilots/'appointed movers' and 'commodity components' – humans whose brain tissue had been altered to become obedient robots. The moon bases served as transit points for missions to Mars. In 1976, a problem arose on Mars due to awakened ancient bacteria. A German bacteriologist and his assistant were involved in attempts to combat this. The assistant, a young German, was brought to the Archimedes base. He was horrified by the conditions of the 'commodity components' and revolted. He stayed at the base and informed new arrivals about the human slaves' plight. Matt Anderson, a 33-year-old marine biologist, learned about this and, after an accident prevented him from going to Mars, became involved in a plan to rescue 84 'components' using a stolen spacecraft. The escape attempt failed when the airlock malfunctioned, causing the spacecraft to crash into the dome, leading to the destruction of the Archimedes base. The article concludes by lamenting the public's ignorance of such covert operations and the power of financial magnates.

A Better World!

This article argues that humanity is on a path to self-destruction due to spiritual and social underdevelopment, exacerbated by the production of dangerous weapons and increasing violence. It criticizes the current societal organization, stating that it fails to meet the needs of all people and allows a few to accumulate immense power and wealth, leading to a 'New World Order.' The author contends that democracy is largely an illusion, with power concentrated in the hands of a 'money mafia' that controls the media and shapes public opinion through biased reporting and censorship. The article points to examples in Italy and the USA where media empires influence political outcomes. It calls for a system that grants all citizens a legally protected right to participate in public debate and influence societal development, leading to a fairer distribution of resources.

The Dangerous Religion

This piece, quoting an alien named Asket from 1956, asserts that 'madness religions' like those on Earth are unique in the universe. It describes how alien explorers, after being taught about Christianity, decided to introduce it to their own planets. This led to widespread conflict, strife, and eventually a devastating war that destroyed one of their planets and affected others. As a result, other alien races intervened, banned Earth religions and Christianity, and prohibited visits to Earth. The article implies that the religious dogma encountered by these aliens led to destructive behavior.

Time to Recognize the Extraterrestrial Presence!

This article criticizes the established scientific community for its refusal to officially acknowledge the evidence of extraterrestrial presence on Earth. It mentions scientists like John von Neumann and Morris Jessup who, despite facing pressure and alleged suppression, supported the idea of UFOs and alien visitation. Jessup, after publishing 'The Case for the UFO's,' was reportedly interrogated by the ONR and later died under suspicious circumstances, officially ruled a suicide but suspected to be murder due to his outspokenness. Professor James McDonald is also mentioned for accusing the CIA of ordering the Air Force to dismiss UFO reports.

The Master's Teachings and Life

This section appears to be a continuation or summary related to the 'Immanuel' article. It discusses a 1908 event in Siberia where a large spaceship with 4300 beings aboard crashed, creating a massive crater, which science attributed to a meteorite. The article suggests this was an extraterrestrial craft that self-destructed. It criticizes the church's historical stance against scientific inquiry, referencing Giordano Bruno. The author links the Siberian incident to the 'dangerous religion' of Christianity, suggesting that if aliens hadn't accepted its dogmas, a rescue expedition might have been possible. The article warns against religious fanaticism, citing the example of the planet Malon, which was allegedly destroyed by an energy weapon war due to religious conflicts, now forming the asteroid belt. The issue concludes with a call for effective birth control and the responsible use of technology to create a better world.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a critical view of established institutions, including science, religion, and government, often framing them as secretive, manipulative, or corrupt. There is a strong undercurrent of conspiracy theories, particularly concerning UFOs, alien contact, and hidden agendas of powerful groups (e.g., 'money mafia,' 'US authorities'). The editorial stance advocates for spiritual growth, social justice, and a re-evaluation of humanity's place in the universe, often through an extraterrestrial lens. The magazine seems to believe that humanity is at a critical juncture, facing self-destruction due to its underdevelopment and destructive tendencies, and that recognizing and learning from extraterrestrial civilizations is key to survival and progress. There's a recurring theme of suppressed information and the need for individuals to seek truth beyond mainstream narratives.

This issue of UFO-KONTAKT, published by Sveriges UFO-förbund (SUFO) in 1995, is a Swedish-language magazine focused on the study of facts concerning extraterrestrial flying objects and the presence of alien civilizations on Earth, both past and present. The cover headline, "En skrift av vikt för vår andliga utveckling" (A writing of importance for our spiritual development), suggests a blend of UFOlogy and spiritual or New Age themes. The magazine's editor-in-chief and responsible publisher is Sune Hjorth. The ISSN is 1103-6842, and the subscription price for 1995 was 120 SEK for 4 issues.

Professor McDonald and the UFO Cover-Up

The issue features a critical look at the suppression of UFO information, beginning with the views of Professor James McDonald from the University of Arizona's Institute of Atmospheric Physics. McDonald believed UFOs were sophisticated, machine-like craft from alien civilizations, not mere atmospheric phenomena. He found the subject to be of significant scientific interest and noted that over 20 years of evidence pointed to credible sightings of such objects. Tragically, Professor McDonald was found dead in his car in 1971, with the official cause of death being 'suicide' being questioned, especially given his controversial stance. The article implies that scientists who deviate from official narratives face severe consequences.

The text further links this alleged suppression to high-ranking politicians, citing the case of former Secretary of Defense James Forrestal. Forrestal, who reportedly opposed UFO secrecy in 1949, is said to have been forced to commit suicide by jumping from a hospital window in Bethesda, Maryland, where he was admitted for 'psychological problems'. The author speculates that a powerful 'freemason mafia' of financial magnates uses its vast wealth and control over mass media to maintain the UFO cover-up, fearing that knowledge of better civilizations elsewhere would undermine their power and the 'New World Order' they allegedly conspire with 'unpleasant aliens' to establish.

Spiritual and Contactee Accounts

The magazine also criticizes religious leaders, referring to them as 'cult-religious professionals', for perpetuating false doctrines that obscure the truth about extraterrestrial contact. A quote attributed to John the Baptist, found in a newly discovered text by Judas Iscariot, warns of future exposure for those spreading false teachings out of arrogance and greed. The issue posits that the awareness of alien visitors has the potential for radical societal renewal, politically, economically, and religiously, which is why the powerful seek to suppress it.

Several contactee accounts are presented as evidence of extraterrestrial reality. Eduard Meier, a Swiss contactee, is highlighted for his credible reports from 1975 onwards, which are described as extensive and logically coherent, offering significant enrichment of knowledge. Daniel Fry, an American engineer, is mentioned for his 1950 experience of being taken aboard a transport ship and completing a journey across North America in just half an hour. Ante Jonsson, a Swedish author, shares his experiences from 1984, including extensive travels and visits to other planets, one of which was destroyed by nuclear war, serving as a warning to humanity.

The article cautions against both uncritical gullibility and prejudiced denial, urging readers to consider the evidence for an extraterrestrial presence on Earth. It calls for scientists to take the possibility seriously and for the media and politicians to reveal the hidden truth.

Sune Hjorth's Spiritual Work

Another section promotes a book by Sune Hjorth, titled "En skrift av vikt för vår andliga utveckling" (A writing of importance for our spiritual development). This book is presented as a Swedish translation of a German version of Aramaic scrolls, offering a true account of Jesus' teachings, which the author claims have been distorted for two thousand years. The text suggests that in this 'New Age', humanity has the chance to access the original teachings, which could have a profound impact on a world dominated by materialism and power struggles. Readers are encouraged to purchase the book for 120 SEK via a postgiro account.

Editorial Stance and Recurring Themes

This issue of UFO-KONTAKT strongly advocates for the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, framing it as a suppressed truth with significant implications for humanity's spiritual and societal future. The editorial stance is critical of established authorities, including governments, media, and traditional religious institutions, accusing them of actively concealing information to maintain power and control. The magazine promotes a New Age or spiritual perspective, suggesting that contact with benevolent extraterrestrials can lead to enlightenment and a better world. It highlights the importance of critical thinking, urging readers to evaluate evidence without succumbing to either blind faith or outright skepticism. The recurring themes include government cover-ups, the potential for societal transformation through alien contact, and the spiritual dimension of the UFO phenomenon.
