UFO-Nytt - 2000 No 4

Magazine Overview

This issue of UFO magazine, dated nr.4 2000, published by NETI (Norwegian organisation for the study of ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence), focuses on several intriguing and often disturbing aspects of the UFO phenomenon. The cover prominently features the headline "Conscious Water Crystals!! The Power of Thought Made Visible!!" alongside other significant articles like "The Legend of the Green Men" and "Are UFO Investigators Being Killed?" The magazine's stated mission is to seek the truth behind the UFO enigma.

Are UFO Investigators Being Killed?

This lead article, translated from Professor G. Cope Schellhorn, investigates a disturbing trend of mysterious deaths among UFO researchers. It posits that the lifespan of a serious UFO researcher is significantly shorter than normal, citing numerous cases. Phil Schneider, a self-taught geologist and explosives expert, is highlighted. His death in 1996 by asphyxiation is presented as suspicious, especially given his public statements about underground facilities, cooperation with 'greys' (humanoid aliens), and alleged assassination attempts against him. Schneider's accusations included the US government's 1954 'Grenada Treaty' with 'greys', the use of special materials in the space shuttle, reverse-engineered alien technology, AIDS as a population control virus, and the existence of an earthquake machine. He also claimed the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City bombings were caused by small nuclear charges.

The article then details the deaths of other researchers: Ron Rummel, publisher of 'Alien Digest', who reportedly died by suicide; Ron Johnson, a MUFON investigator, who died suddenly of unknown causes; Ann Livingston, who died of ovarian cancer, with her death preceded by a strange light and encounters with MIBs (Men in Black); and Karla Turner, who also died of cancer. The author questions whether these deaths are natural, accidental, or deliberate, suggesting a pattern of silencing researchers who get too close to the truth.

Further cases are presented, including the alleged suicides of scientists involved in SDI research at Marconi Ltd. in England, and the deaths of prominent UFO figures like M.K. Jessup, Dorothy Kilgallen, and Dr. James McDonald. The article speculates about government involvement, secret experiments, and potential retaliation from extraterrestrial sources.

UFOs in China

James Oberg's article, "UFOs in China: Dragons Behind the Media Curtain," explores UFO reports from China, suggesting they might be less influenced by Western media sensationalism. Kenneth Arnold's coining of the term 'flying saucer' and Hollywood's portrayal of aliens are cited as examples of Western bias. Chinese reports, such as glowing orange-yellow objects seen in Beijing, have generated public interest but have been tolerated by authorities. Sun Shi-li, a retired diplomat and president of the Beijing UFO Research Society, notes that interest in China is growing and that Chinese UFO researchers are sometimes envious of Western counterparts. The article contrasts the open discussion of UFOs in China with the strict control of information by the government, making certain phenomena classified as top secret. It also touches upon the 'sky spiral' or 'sky dragon' incident of July 26, 1977, which was later identified as exhaust from a Japanese rocket.

Conscious Water Crystals: The Power of Thought Made Visible!!

This section presents the work of Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto, who claims that water crystals respond to human thoughts and emotions. Photographs of frozen water crystals are shown, with some exhibiting beautiful hexagonal structures when exposed to positive words or music, while others appear distorted or amorphous when exposed to negative influences. Emoto's research, detailed in his book "The Messages of Water," suggests that thoughts can influence physical reality at a molecular level, a concept that challenges conventional scientific understanding.

Spaceship Holds Earth in Balance!

Johan Atle Lein recounts his alleged encounter with three grey aliens in 1992, who took him aboard a spaceship. He believes that ten million invisible spaceships from the Ashtar Command are orbiting Earth to maintain its balance. Lein, a retired Telenor employee, travels and shares his experiences, stating that the world is transitioning from the third to the fifth dimension, with a climax around 2012. He also claims that parts of the Holy Grail are located in Trondheim, Norway, guarded by a monk.

101 (Im)possible Explanations for UFOs: Part II

This article offers further explanations for UFO phenomena, moving beyond simple misidentifications.

The Legend of the Green Men

This piece revisits the Ilkley Moor case from 1987, where Peter Hough reportedly encountered a UFO and its crew, even taking a photograph of one of the beings.

Project Preserve Destiny

Dan Sherman believes he was genetically altered by the military to communicate with extraterrestrials, with this ability being used to gather information about alien visitors.

You Can't Handle the Truth

This section promises a detailed account of military secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the potential dangers of UFO research, government secrecy, and the possibility of extraterrestrial influence. The magazine appears to adopt a critical stance towards official explanations and highlights the work of independent researchers who often face adversity. There's a strong undercurrent of conspiracy and a belief that a hidden truth about UFOs is being suppressed by authorities and possibly by extraterrestrial entities themselves. The editorial stance seems to be one of encouraging critical thinking, seeking alternative explanations, and questioning the mainstream narrative regarding UFOs and related phenomena.

This issue of UFO Magazine, dated September/October 1998, presents a comprehensive exploration of UFO phenomena, offering 101 potential explanations for sightings and delving into specific cases and related scientific and psychological theories. The cover headline, "101 FORKLARINGER PÅ UFO'ER...DELII," sets the stage for a detailed examination of the subject.

Water's Memory and Crystalline Structures

The magazine begins by discussing the groundbreaking research of Masaru Emoto, who claims that water molecules can form distinct crystalline structures based on external influences. The article details experiments where water samples, after being subjected to prayers by a high priest, formed beautiful, clear, hexagonal crystals. Other experiments involved exposing water to different types of music (classical versus heavy metal), words of gratitude ("Thank you") versus negative words ("Adolf Hitler," "You Fool"), and even different languages. Emoto's findings suggest that positive influences lead to harmonious crystalline formations, while negative ones result in chaotic or no crystal formation. The research also indicates that water can mimic the shapes of aromatic flowers when treated with essential oils.

Psychic Research and Quantum Physics

The issue then shifts to the realm of psychic research, highlighting the work of J. B. Rhine and others who have conducted experiments on telekinesis and other paranormal phenomena since the 1920s. Despite initial skepticism from the scientific community, serious researchers like Charles T. Tart, R. Targ, and H. Puthof have consistently found positive results. The article posits that the advent of quantum physics has made it easier to reconcile these findings with a scientific worldview, suggesting that phenomena like telekinesis, 'scientific prayer,' and the 'Jesaiah effect' are no longer outside the realm of scientific possibility. The consistency between weather patterns and human emotions is cited as an example of this emerging understanding.

101 Explanations for UFO Sightings

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to providing a checklist of 101 possible explanations for UFO sightings, categorizing them into natural phenomena, human activities, and psychological factors. These explanations include:

• Natural Phenomena: Laser lights, holograms, meteorological balloons, satellites, falling debris from space, meteors, and atmospheric effects like light pillars and ball lightning.
• Human Activities: Model aircraft and helicopters, drones, advertising balloons, experimental aircraft, searchlights, lighthouses, and even common objects like streetlights mistaken for UFOs.
• Psychological and Misinterpretations: "Dummy" parachutes, research balloons, small airships, zeppelins, jettisoned spacecraft fuel tanks, helicopters with powerful searchlights, ultralight hang gliders, rockets, gliders, toy drones, advertising planes, searchlights, and lighthouses.
• Other Explanations: Foo Fighters (ball-like objects seen during WWII), false parachutes, research balloons, small airships, zeppelins, jettisoned spacecraft fuel tanks, helicopters, ultralight hang gliders, rockets, gliders, toy drones, advertising planes, searchlights, and lighthouses.

The article also touches upon more esoteric explanations such as "Mothman," "light beings/elves," and the possibility of hoaxes and disinformation campaigns aimed at deceiving UFO researchers.

The Ilkley Moor Incident

A detailed account is given of the Ilkley Moor incident, which occurred on December 1, 1987. Philip Spencer, a former police officer, reported an encounter with a small, green, alien-like creature on Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire, England. He managed to take a photograph of the creature before it disappeared. Subsequently, Spencer reported seeing a saucer-shaped object hovering in the air. The incident is notable because Spencer also experienced a significant time loss and his compass malfunctioned, suggesting an electromagnetic influence. The photograph was analyzed by experts, and the compass was examined, with findings pointing towards an external electromagnetic field affecting the instrument. Spencer underwent hypnosis to recall the lost time, describing an experience of being taken aboard a craft and interacting with alien beings.

Project Preserve Destiny and Alien Communication

The magazine introduces Dan Sherman, a former USAF member who claims to have been genetically influenced to communicate telepathically with extraterrestrials as part of a secret government program called "Project Preserve Destiny" (PPD). According to Sherman, PPD began in 1960 with the goal of producing human offspring capable of "intuitive communication" with aliens, potentially for a future global communication crisis. Sherman believes he is one of about 50 members of this program and that his abilities stem from genetic implants. He describes his training and the secrecy surrounding the project, suggesting that the government is actively concealing information about extraterrestrial contact.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of the unexplained with scientific inquiry, psychological interpretation, and even spiritual beliefs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, presenting various theories and evidence without definitively endorsing any single explanation. The magazine encourages readers to consider a wide range of possibilities when encountering anomalous phenomena, emphasizing that the field of ufology is complex and evolving. The recurring theme is the search for rational explanations, whether scientific, psychological, or even extraterrestrial, for phenomena that challenge conventional understanding.

This issue of UFO Magazine, dated November/December 2000, focuses on various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, including alleged alien communications, government secrecy, and military involvement. The cover story, "UFO stanset vaktmesteren" (UFO stopped the caretaker), details a sighting by Steinar Hellesø. The magazine explores historical UFO reports, celebrity claims, and the military's perspective on unidentified flying objects.

Daniel L. Sherman's Communication with Extraterrestrials

The issue features an in-depth account of Daniel L. Sherman, a military Intelligence Communicator (IC). Sherman describes a ten-week training program where he learned to mentally reproduce alien tones, eventually communicating with two separate alien beings he nicknamed "Spock" and "Bones." He states that the communication was initially difficult, involving lists of numbers and words, but later evolved into longer exchanges. Sherman learned that these extraterrestrials had visited and influenced ancient cultures, including Egypt, the Maya, and the Inca civilizations, and believed that extraterrestrials and humans were created from the same "force" and were not aggressive. He also recounts how his military career ended when he was forced to sign an admission of homosexuality, a tactic he believes was used to dismiss him.

Steinar Hellesø's UFO Sighting

Caretaker Steinar Hellesø recounts an incident where his car suddenly stopped while he was on his way to work. His car brakes locked, the engine died, and he heard a whistling sound. He then saw a gray, oval UFO, approximately 600-700 meters away and 30-50 meters in circumference, with a small bulge in the middle and five white lights underneath. The object moved westward at high speed before disappearing upwards. After the object left, Hellesø regained mobility, and his car started working again. He expresses his belief in UFOs, having seen one previously but never as clearly as this.

Historical UFO Reports and Mussolini

The magazine presents documents suggesting that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was hesitant to support Adolf Hitler at the start of World War II due to fears related to "unique properties of certain unidentified objects" observed in the 1930s. These documents, labeled "Fascistens X-Files," reveal that the Italian Air Force had several close encounters with mysterious flying craft before the war, including a cigar-shaped object and a "luft-torpedo." British intelligence was also aware of "Foo Fighter" activity, which they knew was not of earthly origin.

Celebrity Encounters and UFOs

Football player Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne is quoted expressing his lifelong dream of seeing a UFO, stating, "I will see a UFO!!!" He believes UFOs are a definite fact and he "just has to see one – soon." The article also mentions TV personality Roseanne Barr's claim that she has had regular encounters with extraterrestrials since her childhood, placing her among other celebrities like Rosie O'Donnel and Shirley McLaine who have spoken about similar experiences.

Military Involvement and Secrecy

Several articles discuss the military's role in the UFO phenomenon. The "Fire Officers Guide To Disaster Control" includes a chapter on the "real threat from unidentified flying objects," outlining procedures for potential landing scenarios and warning of possible challenges with communication and technology. The magazine also highlights numerous military bases in the US where UFO activity has been reported, including Andrews, Edwards, Eglin, Groom Lake, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Bases. These bases are often associated with research into advanced technology, including alleged alien propulsion systems and extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs).

The article "DEN MILITÆRE HEMMELIGHOLDELSEN AV UFO-FENOMENET" (The Military Secrecy of the UFO Phenomenon) delves into the extensive efforts by military and intelligence agencies to conceal information about UFOs. It lists various government bodies, scientific institutions, and corporations involved in this secrecy, including Majestic-12 and the Jason Society. The article suggests that the military views UFOs as a potential threat and has developed countermeasures, while also acknowledging that the phenomenon is real and known to various levels of government.

Military Mentality and Openness

An article titled "MILITÆR MENTALITET" (Military Mentality) discusses the ongoing UFO policy of total secrecy, questioning why it has persisted for over 50 years. It suggests that while many military personnel desire more openness, "little kings" guard their secrets. The article posits that with the rise of civilian space travel, this secrecy cannot be maintained indefinitely. It also touches upon the idea that extraterrestrials are observing humanity and provoking reactions to assess our capabilities and potential threat.

Key Quotes and Statements

Several notable quotes are included:

• "The matter is the most highly classified subject in the U.S. government, rating higher even than the H-bomb. Flying saucers exist. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevár Bush." - Wilbert Smith, Canadian government official.
