Magazine Overview
Title: Skandinavisk UFO Information
Issue: nr. 17
Date: March 2, 2003
Publisher: Danmarks UFO Forening
This issue of Skandinavisk UFO Information delves into various topics related to UFOs, conspiracy theories, and space exploration.
Michael Jackson is an Alien
The cover story presents a conspiracy theory that Michael Jackson is an alien, with his changing facial features being a deliberate, slow transformation for the public to witness. This theory is presented as one of many 'conspiracy telegrams' available on the SUFOI website's new section dedicated to conspiracy theories.
Can We Travel to the Stars?
The magazine announces a lecture organized by the Vanløse local group of Skandinavisk UFO Information. The lecture, to be held on Thursday, March 6th, at 7 PM in Vanløse Medborgerhus, will feature astrophysicist Michael Linden-Vørnle from the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. He will discuss the challenges and possibilities of interstellar travel, contrasting the fantastical depictions in science fiction with the immense distances involved. The lecture requires registration by contacting Susanne Skovlund at 48 18 94 49. A fee of 25 DKK will be charged to cover local group expenses, including coffee, tea, and cakes.
Venus is in Play Again
This section reports on astronomical observations and their potential misinterpretation as UFO phenomena. The planet Venus, visible in the clear morning sky, has been the subject of numerous reports, including one to Danmarks Radio's Regionalen in Næstved. A listener, Gunnar Jacobsen from Hyllinge near Næstved, described a very bright, star-like object in the southeastern sky on Sunday, February 16th, at 6 AM. He observed it for about half an hour, noting that it shone as brightly as a military flare and changed shape from round to oblong, sometimes resembling a fluorescent tube. Many other listeners have reported similar observations. Ole Henningsen, a representative from SUFOI, was interviewed on the Regionalen program on February 20th by host Anders Bisgaard to discuss these local reports and his personal experiences with UFO phenomena. Henningsen maintains that the observed object was indeed Venus, emphasizing that it is easy to verify by looking at the sky the following morning. He dismisses the possibility of it being a satellite or the International Space Station (ISS) at that particular time and location.
The article also mentions that other planets like Jupiter and Saturn are visible in the night sky during March. Jupiter can be seen in the southern sky in the evening around 9-10 PM, while Saturn rises in the south at sunset and sets around 2-3 AM. More information about Venus is available on Danmarks Radio's website.
The Space Station Can Be Seen Again
The International Space Station (ISS) is once again visible from Denmark. The article provides a schedule with specific dates and times for when the ISS will be visible, appearing as a large, bright star moving from west to east across the southern sky. It notes that the ISS is currently manned by two American and one Russian astronaut and orbits the Earth at an altitude of 383-399 km. When viewed from Denmark, its geographical position will be over central Germany. The magazine also expresses interest in receiving good, exciting photos of the ISS taken with advanced equipment.
