Articles
UFO-myten i TV
This article by Ole Henningsen reports on a television program about UFOs that was scheduled to air on DR1 on Thursday, October 30, at 13:05 - 14:10. The program addresses the question of whether UFOs come from other worlds, a belief held by millions worldwide. It highlights the tourist industry that has developed in Roswell, New Mexico, around an alleged 1947 spaceship crash involving deceased aliens. Despite a lack of evidence, the myth of UFOs remains strong and vibrant, according to historian of religion Michael Rothstein. Rothstein's comments are featured in a conversation with Tyge Pedersen, editor and host of the magazine UDEFRA. The program, while largely focusing on an American perspective, was produced by the German TV station ARD and had previously aired on DR2 on October 28.
Kan vi se nordlys i aften?
Another article by Ole Henningsen discusses the possibility of seeing the aurora borealis. It explains that the Earth was hit by solar wind from one of the most powerful solar flares ever recorded, which was strong enough to be detected by a compass. Although the timing was not ideal due to daylight, there was hope that the magnetic storm would continue, potentially leading to visible aurora displays that evening and night. Martin Larsen, coordinator of a Danish aurora list, is quoted stating that a strong solar flare is not a guarantee for the aurora, and that weather conditions are also a factor. He advises going out to look between the evening and night. The article also provides links for more information: current news from DMI (Danish Meteorological Institute) at http://www.dmi.dk/vejr/index.html, background information on the aurora and weather forecast at http://dmiweb.dmi.dk/fsweb/sol-jord/nordlys_forsk/oversigt.html, and a useful American website about auroras at http://www.spaceweather.com/.
