Issue: UFO-Mail nr. 4
Date: June 18, 2002

This issue of Skandinavisk UFO Information focuses on popular misconceptions and highlights a significant reference work on extraterrestrial encounters.
Popular Mistakes!
The lead article, "Populære fejltagelser!" (Popular Mistakes!), reports on a recent survey conducted by the EU Commission to test the scientific knowledge of EU citizens. Out of 16,000 participants, the results were described as "rather disheartening." Notably, almost a quarter of EU citizens still believe that the Sun orbits the Earth. Furthermore, nearly one-eighth believe that milk contaminated with radioactivity becomes healthy and harmless after boiling. The article notes that progress has been made in some areas since the last survey in 1992. For instance, 59% of respondents now correctly state that humans did not live concurrently with dinosaurs, an increase from 50% in 1992. The source for this information is cited as FOCUS 2/2002.

Key facts about the new book are provided:
- Pages: 681
- Articles/Entries: More than 400
- Illustrations: 300 photos and drawings
The article also mentions a special CD-ROM version of "The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters."

The issue concludes with a call to action, encouraging readers to "Send ufo-mail til familie, venner og bekendte!" (Send ufo-mail to family, friends, and acquaintances!). It prompts readers who find the UFO-mail newsletter interesting to forward it to their contacts.
