Magazine Overview

Title: Skandinavisk UFO Information
Issue: UFO-Mail nr. 82
Date: March 6, 2007
Publisher: Danmarks UFO Forening

This issue of Skandinavisk UFO Information focuses on upcoming events and recent UFO-related reports. It announces a major UFO conference hosted by SUFOI (Danmarks UFO Forening) in Lyngby, Denmark, on November 10, 2007, celebrating the organization's 50th anniversary. The conference promises to be the largest in Denmark on the topic, featuring several notable speakers.

UFO Conference with Prominent Speakers

The main event highlighted is the UFO conference on November 10, 2007. Among the speakers is Nick Pope, who worked for the British Ministry of Defence from 1985 to 1994 and was responsible for secret investigations into UFO observations in England. Pope states that this experience fundamentally changed his view of UFOs and he will be speaking in Denmark for the first time. The conference also includes a presentation on a Danish car stalling case from 1995, where a driver reported a powerful light descending upon his vehicle near Brande, causing his car and instruments to fail.

Tickets for the conference cost 120 DKK.

New Meeting in the Local Group "Storkøbenhavn"

An upcoming meeting for the "Storkøbenhavn" local group of Skandinavisk UFO Information is scheduled for Thursday, March 8, 2007, at 7 PM in the Vanløse Kulturhus. Astrophysicist Michael Linden-Vørnle from the Tycho Brahe Planetarium will present on "Space as a Workplace." His talk will cover his recent trip to the Johnson Space Center and Kennedy Space Center in the USA, and his interviews with Swedish astronaut Christer Fuglesang. Linden-Vørnle will also share updates on recent planetary flybys, including the Rosetta probe past Mars and New Horizons past Jupiter, and discuss the asteroid Apophis and its potential collision course with Earth in 2036.

The meeting is open to all interested individuals, and pre-registration is not required. A contribution of 35 DKK per person is requested to cover the group's expenses.

British Police Assistant Films UFO?

This section reports on a case from 2003 where a British traffic police assistant allegedly filmed an unidentified light using their patrol car's video camera. The information comes from HBCC UFO-research, an organization founded by Brian Vike. The video footage, though not particularly clear, shows a white light that increases and then decreases in brightness. The police officer involved, who wished to remain anonymous, described the light as composed of many small, clear light points and was convinced it was not a spotlight or military aircraft. Brian Vike has checked that the object was not a satellite, but distance estimation is impossible from the video.

The report notes that the original video clip is available online. The location of the sighting was along the A59 road between Skipton and Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire, England, around 9:30 PM in May 2003. The police officer slowed down to record the phenomenon. The article also discusses the possibility of the object being astronomical, but notes that the anonymous nature of the witnesses suggests they would not have reported a mundane object like the Moon.

More "Spaceships" in Everyday Life

This article revisits the theme of "spaceships in everyday life," noting how the concept of UFOs and spaceships is prevalent in popular culture. It references a previous article from UFO-mail nr. 67 (early 2006) that discussed this topic. The article highlights a specific instance where a reader, Lennart Jensen, submitted a photo of what appeared to be a UFO landing at Rådhuspladsen in Copenhagen on November 22, 2003.

The editorial team contacted Politiken's deputy editor, Bjarne Schilling, for information. Schilling responded by referencing an article by architectural critic Henrik Sten Møller from December 19, 2002, titled "The Poetic Truth: Meet me at Cassiopeia." Møller's article discussed an "invasion of city planners" arriving in a "spaceship" at Rådhuspladsen, humorously suggesting they were from Cassiopeia to help with Copenhagen's modern architecture. The article notes that the terminal building was not, as speculated, removed by the spaceship.

Spaceship at Rådhuspladsen

This section elaborates on the Rådhuspladsen "spaceship" incident. The photo submitted by Lennart Jensen showed a structure resembling a spaceship on the bus terminal. Politiken's deputy editor, Bjarne Schilling, provided context by referencing Henrik Sten Møller's article. Møller's piece, published in Politiken, described the "spaceship" as an arrival of "city planners" from Cassiopeia, sent to address issues in modern construction. The article humorously speculates about the purpose of this arrival and the spaceship's departure.

Architect Oscar Niemeyer and Brasilia

An exhibition at ARKEN, Museum of Modern Art, in Ishøj, Denmark, in January 2004 showcased the work of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Niemeyer is famous for designing Brazil's new capital, Brasília, in 1956. The exhibition featured his distinctive curved concrete buildings. The article then connects Niemeyer's architectural style to UFOs.

The "Spaceship" Landed in Rio

Researcher and author Ove von Spaeth from Rio de Janeiro discusses how the characteristic UFO shape has always inspired. He describes a building in Rio de Janeiro, created by Oscar Niemeyer, which is designed in the form of a "spaceship" and serves as a museum. A film sequence from Marc Henri Wajnberg's award-winning film "Oscar Niemeyer - An Architect Engaged in His Century" shows this "spaceship" flying over Rio de Janeiro and landing, with Oscar Niemeyer emerging from it.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena, from official investigations and witness accounts to cultural representations and architectural interpretations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various cases and perspectives without necessarily endorsing any single explanation. There is a clear interest in connecting UFO sightings and concepts to broader cultural and scientific topics, such as space exploration and modern architecture. The publication aims to inform its readers about conferences, local group meetings, and recent developments in the field of ufology.

Title: ufo-mail
Issue: nr. 6
Volume: nr. 1
Date: 2001
Publisher: ufo-mail
Country: Denmark
Language: Danish

This issue of ufo-mail features an article titled "Datering af ældste stjernekort" (Dating of the Oldest Star Map), focusing on the research of Ove von Spaeth. The cover also includes images of Oscar Niemeyer's museum in Rio de Janeiro and the Great Egyptian Pyramid, suggesting a connection between modern architecture, ancient structures, and astronomical knowledge.

Dating of the Oldest Star Map

The central article details Ove von Spaeth's work in dating the oldest known star map, which he places in Moses' time in Egypt. Von Spaeth, who initially trained as a typographer and aspired to be an architect like Oscar Niemeyer, developed a profound interest in ancient architecture, history, and astronomy. He was particularly captivated by the advanced astronomical knowledge of antiquity, citing the Antikythera mechanism—a Greek bronze gear-wheel machine used for calculating celestial events like lunar eclipses and planetary orbits—as a prime example.

Von Spaeth's research culminated in a scientific treatise with the first concrete dating of this ancient star map. This work was mentioned in publications such as UFO-Nyt (nr. 1, 2001) and UFO-Mail (nr. 6). The full treatise is accessible online at http://www.moses-egypt.net/stjernekort/senmut3-afhandl_da.asp. Furthermore, the treatise is included in Danish as an appendix in the second volume of his book series on Moses and ancient Egypt.

The article also notes the connection between the Great Egyptian Pyramid, which was constructed based on star alignment lines, and Oscar Niemeyer's UFO-inspired "floating" museum in Rio de Janeiro. The text suggests a temporal span of 4,500 years between these two impressive architectural works.

Von Spaeth's internationally published works include a long series of historical articles and his book series on Moses and the secrets of ancient Egypt. The five-volume series is currently available at a discounted price of 125 kr. per volume during a large book sale.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The editorial stance of ufo-mail appears to be focused on exploring unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs, and connecting them with historical and archaeological mysteries. The magazine promotes research into ancient civilizations, their astronomical knowledge, and potential extraterrestrial influences, as exemplified by Ove von Spaeth's work on ancient star maps and Egyptian history. The publication also seems to encourage reader engagement by promoting the sharing of its content and offering resources for further study through its website and book series.
