UFO Norr - 1996 No 9

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO norr
Issue: No. 9
Volume: Year 4
Date: May 1996

This issue of UFO norr, published by UFO-Skellefteå, focuses on a variety of UFO-related topics, including a significant sighting in Sweden, analysis of the controversial Roswell film, and theoretical discussions about extraterrestrial life and unexplained phenomena. The magazine aims to provide in-depth and thought-provoking content for its readers.

Cover Story: UFO Lands Near Norsjö

The main headline announces that a witness saw a UFO land outside Norsjö. The issue also features a report on a UFO sighting in Robertsfors where lights were seen flying in a V-formation. Another article details a UFO landing witnessed by Peter Larsson, who initially mistook it for a helicopter.

Roswell Film: Authentic or Hoax?

This section critically examines the famous Roswell film, questioning its authenticity. The article notes that the film was presented by Ray Santilli and that Swedish media, including TV4, had shown documentaries about it. However, the author points out several inconsistencies: the alien's appearance is described as rubber-like with oversized wounds, the filming was shaky, and the analysis of the film has been delayed. A key piece of evidence against its authenticity is the presence of a telephone manufactured in 1954, while the film is claimed to be from 1947. The author concludes that the film is likely a well-made forgery.

UFO Theories: Space-Dwelling Organisms and the Unexplainable

UFO Theories, Part 7: Space-Dwelling Organisms: This article explores the speculative theory that some UFOs might be living organisms that exist in extreme environments, such as the upper atmosphere or space. It draws parallels with deep-sea creatures that survive in harsh conditions, suggesting that extraterrestrial life might not require the same conditions as human life and could be adapted to environments beyond our current understanding.

UFO Theories, Part 8: The Unexplainable: This piece delves into the philosophical implications of unexplained phenomena. It posits that humans naturally seek explanations but may encounter problems that are inherently unsolvable. The author discusses the idea that some phenomena, like UFOs, might simply exist without a discernible cause or origin, drawing parallels to questions about the universe's beginning. The article encourages an open mind when confronting the unknown, acknowledging that our understanding is limited.

Other Articles and Reports

UFO in Robertsfors: This report details Kenneth Ådén's experience of seeing five lampshade-shaped lights flying in a V-formation in the night sky near Robertsfors. He described the lights as constant yellow-white and estimated their altitude at 300 meters. His wife, Rosie, was also woken up to witness the phenomenon.

Title: UFO-NORR
Issue Date: May 1996
Content Focus: This issue of UFO-NORR explores a variety of topics related to the unexplained, including paranormal experiences, UFO sightings, and theories about Earth's energy fields, alongside a report on advancements in space technology.

A True Ghost Story

The lead article, "En sann spökhistoria" (A True Ghost Story) by Steve Sandström, introduces the Andersson family who live in a secluded red house in northern Sweden and claim to have been experiencing paranormal phenomena for years. Annelie Andersson recounts their experiences, which began with her and the children sensing a presence. Initially skeptical, her husband Kent became a believer after experiencing incidents himself.

Experiences at Home

Annelie describes various manifestations, including footsteps on the upper floor when no one is there, and sudden cold drafts that change the room's atmosphere, even in summer. Despite these occurrences, she states she has never been truly frightened, finding the experiences rather natural and awe-inspiring, suggesting a reality beyond the ordinary. She admits to being initially scared by the unknown nature of the presence, but learned to adapt.

Strange Phenomena

One peculiar incident involved a ficus tree in the living room shaking violently as if in an earthquake, caused by a strong, inexplicable draft. Another common phenomenon is the disappearance of small objects, like a cigarette lighter, which are never found again. However, the family notes that only insignificant items have gone missing, never anything of sentimental value like rings or jewelry.

Doors and Voices

Doors opening and closing on their own are also reported. The family has tried to catch this phenomenon in action but has been unsuccessful. They speculate that the 'ghost' might be playing with them or doesn't want to be seen. The children are particularly sensitive, having reportedly seen a 'ghost' they describe as a woman. While the family has heard whispers and voices, they cannot discern what is being said, describing the sounds as if coming from the air itself. Annelie wonders if these are projected thoughts or something else entirely.

Poltergeist or Ghost?

Annelie reveals that their experiences began even before they moved to their current house, starting in a city apartment. Initially, small, seemingly insignificant items would disappear. This led to the sounds and other phenomena. The description of these events leads the author to consider the possibility of a poltergeist phenomenon, which is typically associated with a specific person rather than a location. However, for the Andersson family, it remains their 'ghost'. The author explains the distinction: ghosts are place-bound, while poltergeists are often linked to an individual, possibly as a manifestation of strong emotions.

Fear of Intolerance

Before leaving, Annelie requests anonymity, a plea the author understands given the intolerance towards such experiences. She believes people like her should be able to share their experiences without fear of reprisal, especially in small communities where everyone knows each other.

The author concludes this section by reassuring readers with similar experiences that they are not alone and that one day, humanity will be mature enough to accept these phenomena openly.

Footnote: The names Annelie and Kent Andersson are pseudonyms for a middle-aged woman and her husband living in a small northern Swedish community.

Short UFO Reports

This section presents several eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings in Sweden:

• Rödingträsket, September 13, 1986: Three individuals fishing witnessed a strong light descending in a funnel shape from above the clouds. The light was absorbed back into the clouds, followed by a green shimmering 'exhaust cloud' visible for about 90 minutes.
• Near Rödingträsket, July 1990: A family observed a green shimmering light searching back and forth over a bog for 15-20 minutes before ascending into the clouds. The father noted the light had a distinct underside edge.
• Near Fredrika, Summer 1995: A woman and her friends, on their way to swim, saw a searching light moving over the area. They were frightened and ran back to their cabin, eventually fleeing to Vännäs.
• Ovre Rödå, December 14, 1995: Two women driving home were startled by a silver, rugby ball-shaped object, about 0.5 meters long, hovering 4 meters above the ground. It had three forward lights and two side lights, and it moved off the road and across a field before disappearing.

Spacecraft Taking Over After the Space Shuttle

This article by Gert Sandström discusses the development of next-generation reusable spacecraft intended to make space travel more affordable. The space shuttle, launched in 1981, proved to be more expensive than anticipated, with each launch costing around 500 million dollars (over three billion kronor). NASA plans to privatize shuttle operations through a partnership with Lockheed Martin Space Operations and Rockwell International, aiming to save at least one billion dollars annually.

Next-Generation Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs)

NASA is actively developing RLVs, focusing on single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicles that use powerful, integrated rockets for vertical launch and horizontal landing. Advances in materials, electronics, and rocket technology are making these cheaper, reusable spacecraft possible.

Three Companies Competing

Three companies are vying to build these new spacecraft for NASA:

1. Rockwell International Corporation: Developing a winged vehicle with vertical launch and horizontal landing, similar to current shuttles.
2. Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works: Also developing a vehicle with vertical launch and horizontal landing.
3. McDonnell Douglas Aerospace/Boeing: Developing a vehicle that launches and lands vertically, eliminating the need for long runways.

One of these prototypes, likely the X-33, is expected to be built and tested by 1999.

Prototypes: The article mentions three prototype designs: Rockwell's space shuttle-like prototype, McDonnell Douglas/Boeing's 'Delta Clipper', and Lockheed-Martin's 'LASRE'.

Delta Clipper

McDonnell Douglas, in collaboration with Boeing, has already tested a remotely piloted prototype called Delta Clipper (DC-X), which has been modified into the DC-XA with a lighter fuel tank. Further test flights are scheduled.

Lockheed Aerospike SR-71 Experiment (LASRE)

Lockheed's prototype, LASRE, using an aerospike engine, completed assembly and began ground tests in February, with flight tests starting in April.

Rockwell's Experience

Rockwell, having built the current space shuttles, has a prototype that resembles the shuttles but with a different interior. They aim to reduce launch costs to a tenth of current shuttle expenses.

Decision on X-33

President Bill Clinton is expected to decide in July whether to proceed with the X-33 project, which involves building a larger prototype. If approved, NASA will select a manufacturer, with testing of the final version expected to begin in 1999.

Privately Owned

Future spacecraft will likely be privately owned, with NASA purchasing launch services. McDonnell Douglas astronaut Pete Conrad believes the cost of launching the Delta Clipper could be one-fifth of current shuttle costs, emphasizing the importance of affordable access to space.

UFO Landed 50 Meters From Startled Witness

This article by Marlene Eriksson recounts an extraordinary encounter by Peter Larsson in May 1980. While driving near Norsjö, he saw a bright, red star that grew larger and blinked.

Initial Encounter and Communication

Larsson initially thought it was a helicopter. He flashed his headlights, and the object responded with lights, approaching him at treetop height. They exchanged light signals, and the object moved closer, displaying a red light underneath. When Larsson stopped his car, a vehicle with several young people approached. As Larsson was about to explain, the object moved to a nearby turn-off, about 50 meters away, and began to glow orange-red on its underside, revealing itself as a disc-shaped craft about 10 meters in diameter.

Panic and Departure

Another car arrived, and the occupants, along with the young people, were stunned. One of the youths exclaimed, "My God, it's a UFO!" and sped off. Larsson heard a woman's voice scream the same thing, and that car also left. Larsson remained alone, watching the object.

The Object's Display

The object's underside changed from red to a pulsating, rolling light, described as similar to stirring milk with a spoon. The light was about 1-2 meters in diameter. The craft then moved silently towards Storselet, about treetop height. Larsson noticed his car lights had turned on and the engine was still running, though he hadn't noticed it stop.

Return and Close Encounter

Another car stopped, and Larsson lied, saying everything was fine. Later, the object returned, flying at the same height from the left, glowing orange. It passed directly overhead, about 20 meters up, causing Larsson to feel an unsettling sensation, as if he needed to hold onto something. The ground felt strange, like descending in an elevator, for a few seconds. He heard no sound from the craft. The object then turned back over the turn-off and landed about 50 meters from him.

"Unreal" Experience

Larsson insisted he wasn't afraid but sounded otherwise. He struggled to believe what he was seeing and pinched himself to check if he was awake. He walked towards the craft until he was about 20 meters away. A door-like opening appeared, emitting a bright white light. After hesitating, he decided not to approach further. The object then performed a spectacular aerial display, flying slowly north, stopping, and turning on its edge. It glowed bright orange, then a strong white light appeared at the front as it shot upwards in a spiral motion at incredible speed. The speed was so immense it felt like falling. It stopped high up, then descended rapidly in a straight line, like a falling star, landing about 500 meters to a kilometer into the forest at an estimated height of 100 meters, illuminating the landscape with a red glow.

Ill at Ease

The craft then blinked towards Larsson with two quick flashes, followed by three. He assumed it had landed in the forest behind the mountain. He felt as though the object was playing with him and became uneasy. He considered driving home but decided to continue to his friend's house, not mentioning the experience until much later due to anticipated disbelief.

Aftermath and Evidence

Larsson returned the next day and found triangular marks, four steps apart, where the craft had landed. The impressions were round. He regrets not having a camera to document the evidence.

Commentary: The author praises the observation as fascinating and the witness as credible. Possible explanations include UFO phenomena, hoaxes, or other theories like holistic phenomena, alien craft, future technology, or even hallucinations. The author notes that hallucinations typically don't leave physical traces.

Black Hole Theory?

Larsson theorizes that the object's apparent narrowing at the top might have been an optical illusion, perhaps created by an artificial black hole. This could explain the incredible speed and apparent defiance of gravity. The author acknowledges this as a fascinating theory but emphasizes the need to take the observation seriously first.

Perception and Memory

After 16 years, Larsson has accepted the event, though he admits it was difficult to process. The author discusses perception and how experiences are interpreted based on prior knowledge. Larsson's description of the craft as a 'toy spinner' suggests he had prior knowledge of such objects. His background in drawing and painting may have aided his observational skills, but the author cautions that details can be misconstrued under stress. The passage of time can also alter memories.

Footnote: The witness requested anonymity, and Peter Larsson is a pseudonym.

Earth's Magical Force Fields

This article by Steve Sandström discusses the concept of invisible energy lines that crisscross the Earth, known as Hartmann and Curry lines. These lines, unlike natural phenomena, are described as straight and man-made, though their origin and purpose are unknown.

Lost Knowledge

For millennia, humans lived in harmony with nature, acquiring knowledge that has largely been lost due to reliance on technology. This includes ancient healing practices like zone therapy and acupuncture, which modern science is gradually acknowledging.

The Invisible Lines

The article introduces Hartmann and Curry lines, which dowsers can detect. While dowsing is commonly associated with finding water, it can also locate these energy lines. The author aims to explain these concepts and enable readers to conduct their own experiments.

Dowsing and Body Influence

Dowsing tools, such as L-rods or Y-shaped sticks, are not instruments that detect water directly but rather act as indicators. The human body is influenced by natural force fields, and the dowsing tool merely marks when the hands are affected.

Scientific Evidence

Studies have provided evidence that the human body reacts to these natural forces. Research at the Institute for Electro- and Biomedical Engineering in Gaz and by professors in Munich has shown that dowsers' movements are influenced, causing their tools to react. The exact forces causing these reactions remain unknown.

Grid Patterns

The Earth is crisscrossed by two main grid systems of these invisible lines. One runs north-south and east-west (Hartmann lines), forming squares approximately 2 meters wide and 1.5 to 2.5 meters high. The other grid is shifted by about 45 degrees (Curry lines).

Curry Lines and Health Risks

While Hartmann lines are unexplained but considered less significant, Curry lines are of greater interest. These lines, spaced about four meters apart, are theorized to be linked to severe illnesses, including cancer. The intersections of Curry lines, known as 'Curry crosses,' are considered particularly dangerous.

Connection to Illnesses

Traditional Building Practices

Historically, houses were built to avoid placing living spaces, especially beds, directly on Curry crosses or lines. Old farmhouses often had their foundations or walls positioned to avoid these energy fields.

Impact on Vegetation and Cats

Curry crosses negatively affect vegetation, causing trees to become deformed. However, cats seem attracted to these areas, which may explain why cats were historically associated with witchcraft and persecuted by the church.

Sickness and Bed Placement

Research by dowsing practitioner Thord Neumüller suggests a strong correlation between serious illnesses and bed placement over Curry crosses. Approximately 20% of randomly placed beds might be over a cross, but Neumüller found that two-thirds of cancer patients and 50% of those with joint and muscle pain had their beds positioned over a Curry cross. While this doesn't prove Curry crosses cause illness, they are considered a significant contributing factor.

Interferential Patterns

Various theories exist about the nature of Hartmann and Curry lines, including them being navigation grids for extraterrestrials or remnants of ancient technology. However, the most likely explanation is that they are 'interferential patterns' created by the interaction of wave and energy fields, similar to how ripples on water create patterns where they meet.

Unmeasurable Forces

While all other natural forces are measurable, these energy lines are not. The article questions why they are undetectable by instruments yet strong enough for some people to sense them. The author suggests that these lines might represent the interference between fundamental universal forces, such as good and evil, or chaos and cosmos.

Title: UFO-Norr
Issue: 9
Date: May 1996
Publisher: UFO-Norr
Country: Sweden
Language: Swedish

This issue of UFO-Norr delves into various unexplained phenomena, with a strong focus on UFO sightings in Norrland, alongside broader topics in space exploration, astronomy, and parapsychology. The magazine aims to broaden its content beyond just UFOs to include other unexplained phenomena that interest its readers.

UFO Sightings in Norrland

The lead story details a significant UFO sighting in Norrland on January 18, 1996. Journalist Steve Sandström recounts the experience of witness Ingemar Hedlund, who observed a strange object near a viaduct on road 95 between Jörn and Glommersträsk. The object was described as tennis ball-sized, moving irregularly, changing colors (red, blue, violet, white), and exhibiting an up-and-down motion like a float on water. The report also mentions initial observations by Karl-Henrik Almström, who first noticed a white light in the south, later interpreted as a red sphere illuminating the forest.

Several other UFO cases from January 1996 are briefly mentioned. These include a cone-shaped phenomenon observed over western Norrland during New Year's weekend, which might have been a rocket launch. Anders Rundström reported seeing a phenomenon moving rapidly between east and south. Marianne Rosengren described a bright, white light phenomenon. Mikael Winterkvist of Norra Västerbotten reported that Gerd Bergkvist had observed a phenomenon, possibly Venus, and that Walter Andersson had witnessed a light phenomenon for half an hour, described as a large, bright 'T'. The magazine notes that researchers are working to gather evidence and that most of these incidents were not Venus, occurring after a NATO exercise in the Atlantic.

A separate article by Conny Ljung details an observation by a witness named Ingrid, who saw a strange, luminous object on January 30, 1996, near Piteå. The object was described as round but slightly flattened, appearing suddenly in the sky. It descended slowly towards the treetops, without sound, and did not illuminate its surroundings. Its color was golden yellow to fiery gold, with a greenish hue at the end, and it was estimated to be about 13 cm at arm's length. The observation lasted only a few seconds, but Ingrid was certain it did not disappear behind the trees or land.

Dowsing and Earth Radiation

An article explains the basics of dowsing, emphasizing that it is a skill that can be learned by almost anyone with a little knowledge and patience. It describes how to make or purchase a dowsing rod (vinkelpekare) and the correct technique for holding and using it. The article explains that simultaneous movement of the rods indicates something affecting the person. It introduces the concept of earth radiation, specifically mentioning Curry lines (approximately 4 meters apart) and Hartmann lines (weaker and harder to detect). Experiments are suggested to demonstrate the effects of earth radiation, such as a friend's arm being weakened when standing on a 'Curry cross'. The article warns that earth radiation can potentially affect health.

Space Exploration and Astronomy

The magazine features several articles on space exploration and astronomy:

• Galileo Mission: The Galileo probe successfully entered Jupiter's orbit in December, and its probe descended into Jupiter's atmosphere, transmitting data for nearly an hour. However, a problem with the main antenna deployment limits its data transmission capacity. Galileo discovered that Jupiter's moon Io has an iron core and observed a hole in Jupiter's magnetic field near Io.
• Mars Mission: Russian cosmonaut Valerij Poljakov, who holds a record for time spent in space, has proposed an international project to land humans on Mars, suggesting it could be realized around 2020.
• Black Holes: American researchers have discovered a third black hole, located outside the center of its galaxy, which challenges existing theories.
• Pluto: New evidence from the Hubble Space Telescope suggests Pluto may not be a planet, possibly being an asteroid or a comet, due to its small size (two-thirds that of Earth's moon).
• European Space Record: German astronaut Thomas Reiter set a European record for time spent in space, spending 180 days aboard the Mir space station.
• NEAR Mission: The NEAR probe was launched to study the asteroid Eros.
• Hubble Discoveries: The Hubble telescope has made findings on Jupiter's moons, detecting oxygen on Europa, ice on Callisto, volcanic activity on Io, and ozone on Ganymedes. It has also provided data suggesting the universe might be younger than some stars, with estimates of its age ranging from 8 to 9.5 billion years.
• Meteor Storms: Astronomer Peter Jenniskens predicts a major meteor storm on November 17, 1998, possibly the largest of the century, associated with comet Tempel-Tuttle.
• Other Space News: The issue also touches upon a failed Italian experiment to capture electricity in space, the development of the Ariane 5 rocket, Boeing's investment in the Russian Mir space station, IBM's ability to move molecules at room temperature, the discovery of water around Jupiter, and the discovery of ancient fungi in amber.

Other Topics

• Robots: Professor Kevin Warwick warns that robots pose a potential threat to humanity, citing their ability to learn from mistakes and connect with other machines.
• Archaeology: A radar used for environmental studies has been employed by Chinese archaeologists to study parts of the Great Wall of China that were built with loose soil and clay.
• Sharks in Sweden: 50-million-year-old shark teeth were found in Anderstorp, Sweden, providing insights into the Tertiary period.
• Plastic-eating Bacteria: Japanese researchers have discovered bacteria capable of breaking down environmentally harmful plastics.
• Mysterious Lake: A newly discovered lake in Antarctica, despite its depth and cold temperatures, has not frozen over, puzzling researchers.
• Naval Technology: The Swedish navy has ordered two advanced stealth vessels, the YS2000, also known as Smyge.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained phenomena, with a particular emphasis on UFO sightings and related topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, encouraging readers to share their experiences and contributing to the understanding of these events. The magazine also demonstrates a commitment to covering broader scientific advancements, particularly in space exploration and astronomy, while maintaining a critical approach to evidence and explanations. The inclusion of articles on dowsing and parapsychology indicates a willingness to explore subjects beyond conventional science, though the magazine acknowledges the risks of not being taken seriously and aims to present information factually, based on witness accounts.
