Key Articles and Features

The Disclosure Project and Witness Testimonies

The central focus of the issue is the 'Disclosure Project' and the testimonies presented. Dr. Steven Greer, in his introduction, states the project's goal is to reveal the truth about UFOs, which has been ridiculed for 50 years. He mentions having briefed high-ranking officials, including the CIA director, who were not surprised but rather 'terrified' by the existence of these projects. The testimonies come from over 400 individuals employed by various intelligence agencies, the Air Force, Navy, Army, and other government branches.

Several witnesses share their experiences:

• Michael Smith, a former US Air Force Sergeant and radar operator, recounts observing UFOs on radar at high altitudes and their unusual maneuvers. He also mentions an incident where UFOs were detected near incoming B-52 aircraft, leading to their diversion.
• Dan Willis, formerly in the Navy with top-secret crypto-information clearance, describes witnessing a glowing, elliptical object emerge from the sea near Alaska and ascend into the atmosphere at extreme speed. He also recalls a colleague mentioning UFOs as 'our little friends' when observed on radar.
• Dwynne Arneson, a former US Air Force Communication Officer, shares three experiences, including witnessing a UFO near a missile silo that caused the missiles to be deactivated, and being informed about a UFO crash near Spitsbergen.
• Carol Rosin, who worked with Werner von Braun, relays his concerns about the weaponization of space, stating that the threat of extraterrestrial invasion was a fabricated reason to build space-based weapons.
• Daniel Sheehan, a lawyer and General Counsel for the Disclosure Project, discusses his involvement in the Pentagon Papers case and his subsequent investigation into classified UFO information, including an alleged encounter with a crashed UFO and its symbols.
• Enrique Kolbeck, an air traffic controller from Mexico City, reports multiple UFO sightings and near-collisions with aircraft, emphasizing the potential danger to aeronautical safety.
• Graham Bethune, a retired Navy Commander/pilot, recounts an incident in 1951 where his aircraft experienced instrument malfunctions while tracking a large, circular formation of white lights on the water, which then ascended rapidly.

NETI's Role and Information

The magazine also provides information about NETI, the Norwegian organization for the study of extraterrestrial intelligence. It outlines NETI's fundamental goals: to collect and disseminate information on extraterrestrial beings, support individuals persecuted for their beliefs, work for freedom and peace, and bring extraterrestrial existence and technology under democratic control. Membership costs kr. 225 per year, and the member magazine 'UFO-nytt' is published four times a year. Contact information for NETI and its representatives is provided.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The overarching theme of this issue is the urgent need for disclosure regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence. The editorial stance is strongly in favor of transparency and believes that the public has a right to know the truth. The magazine advocates for official government investigations, particularly through congressional hearings, and calls for an end to the weaponization of space. There is a clear emphasis on the potential benefits of extraterrestrial technology for solving global issues like energy crises and environmental problems, contrasted with the dangers of a military-industrial complex that perpetuates secrecy and fear.

The magazine presents a narrative that challenges official denials and promotes the idea that governments have been hiding crucial information for decades. The testimonies are framed as credible evidence from individuals with high-level security clearances, suggesting that the extraterrestrial presence is a well-documented reality within secret government projects.

The issue also touches upon the potential for peaceful coexistence with extraterrestrial civilizations and the need for humanity to mature into a 'cosmic civilization.' The editorial implicitly criticizes the current focus on military spending and space weaponization, suggesting it is based on fabricated threats and serves the interests of a powerful war industry.

This issue of UFO-Magazine, dated July 2001, features a cover story on the possibility of vegetation on Mars, as suggested by Arthur C. Clarke, and also delves into the mysterious Chupacabra phenomenon and a former FAA employee's account of a UFO incident. The magazine includes articles in Norwegian, with translations provided for key quotes and summaries.

John Callahan's Testimony

The issue begins with an account from John Callahan, a retired FAA employee who worked in the accident and investigation division in Washington D.C. He recounts a phone call he received about a UFO sighting in Alaska, which led to an investigation. Callahan sent all data to the FAA's technical center in Atlantic City, where he and his chief reviewed video footage of the incident. This footage included synchronized audio from the pilot and air traffic controller. Callahan presented this information to President Reagan's science staff, CIA, and FBI. He states that after the presentation, a CIA official declared the meeting and the incident classified, stating it never happened. Callahan was told that this was the first time they had radar recordings of a UFO. He also mentions that the FAA's report was not considered an air traffic control matter and ended up on his desk. He claims to have kept the data, including computer printouts detailing all airborne objects, until his retirement. The incident is identified as 'the UFO incident (hendelse), Japan 1628', which occurred on November 18, 1986. Callahan expresses his willingness to testify before Congress about these events.

Mars Vegetation Claims by Arthur C. Clarke

Another significant article features Arthur C. Clarke, the respected visionary and author, who believes that new images from Mars show signs of vegetation, including trees. Clarke, speaking via live link from Sri Lanka to the Werner von Braun Memorial Lecture Series, commented on images from the Mars Global Surveyor on his home PC. He stated that there were clear signs of vegetation and that movement and seasonal changes were visible, suggesting plant life. Clarke emphasized the seriousness of his observations. He was part of a panel that included Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan, sci-fi author Ben Bova, and space historian Fred Ordway. Cernan shared his awe of being on the moon and the vastness of space, while Bova commented on the political drive behind NASA's programs and the potential for the private sector to lead space exploration. Ordway reflected on the vision of '2001 - A Space Odyssey' and its relevance to a time when space travel was a major focus. Clarke expressed optimism about future propulsion methods, suggesting rockets would be superseded. Cernan envisioned humans living on Mars and returning to Earth, while Clarke raised concerns about Earth's gravity for future generations.

The Chupacabra Phenomenon

The magazine also addresses the Chupacabra, a creature popularly known as the 'geitesugeren' (goat sucker). Reports of this being have spread across South America, the southern USA, and Puerto Rico. The creature is described as having large, slanted, glowing red eyes, a flat, possibly ape-like face, spotted skin like a frog, and spines on its head and back. It is said to have 'chicken legs' with a three-toed foot and is between 3 and 5 feet tall. Footprints have been found in mud where dead livestock were discovered. The Chupacabra is reported to attack quickly, draining animals completely of blood. Descriptions mention it being grey, standing on two legs with sharp claws, and having wing-like membranes between its arms and body. Its appearance is compared to certain dinosaurs. The creature is believed to be capable of changing color and jumping over twenty feet. Its origin is a mystery, with theories ranging from genetic experiments to extraterrestrial origins. The article notes the creature's popularity, with fan clubs, merchandise, and even an upcoming Hollywood movie. It also mentions a 'Chupasang' song and a Chupacabra festival in Puerto Rico.

John Glenn's Statement on Extraterrestrials

A section titled 'FRASIER' features a quote from Senator John Glenn, a former astronaut, on the NBC TV show 'Frasier'. Glenn expressed discomfort with being asked to deny things he had witnessed. He stated that they saw strange things and knew what they saw, but couldn't speak about it due to fears of a 'War of the Worlds' type panic. He suggested that many of the things seen in nightmares or movies are close to the truth.

NETI Newsletter and Other Content

The magazine also includes information about NETI (The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and its newsletter, encouraging members to connect with each other. It promotes upcoming meetings in Oslo and Bergen. Additionally, there are sections on 'The Angel of Air,' a poetic piece, and 'God's Journey,' a philosophical reflection. The issue concludes with advertisements for back issues of UFO-Nytt and conference videos, featuring speakers like Dr. Steven M. Greer and Erich von Däniken.

EBEs and The Yellow Book

Another article delves into the topic of EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) and 'The Yellow Book.' It mentions three copies of the Yellow Book, one allegedly held by EBE-2, another in a vault near the 'Mall' in Washington D.C., and a third at Los Alamos National Laboratories. The article describes EBE1 as a survivor of the Roswell crash in 1947, who communicated telepathically and learned English. EBE1 reportedly came from the Zeta Reticuli star system. The article also mentions EBE2, an ambassador from the Orion constellation, who met President Eisenhower in 1954 and used the name KRILL. EBE3, named Jarod, landed in 1964 and is reportedly at a facility designated YY-II at Los Alamos. The article touches upon the potential use of EBE technology for various applications, including computers and military materials. It also references information from sources like Wendelle Stevens, Whitley Strieber, Richard Boylan, and John Lear.

Top Secret Documents

Included in the magazine are reproductions of several 'TOP SECRET' documents from the Central Intelligence Agency, dated between 1980 and 1982. These memos discuss various projects and individuals, including references to 'Texas incident,' 'EBE-2,' 'Project A,' 'MJ12,' and 'OP-KIWI.' The documents hint at information control, disinformation plans, and the handling of extraterrestrial entities.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, extraterrestrial life, government cover-ups, and the scientific investigation of anomalous phenomena. The magazine appears to present these topics with a serious and investigative tone, featuring testimonies from credible sources like former government employees and renowned figures in science and science fiction. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging readers to consider the evidence and possibilities presented.

This issue of a Norwegian publication, likely a magazine focused on UFOs and unexplained phenomena, features several articles on extraterrestrial encounters and related topics. The cover story, "UVENTET BESØK VED INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ISS" (Unexpected Visit to the International Space Station ISS), discusses an unknown object observed by the ISS.

Article 1: Uventet Besøk ved International Space Station ISS (Unexpected Visit to the International Space Station ISS)

This article reports on an unknown object that passed by the International Space Station (ISS) on May 26, 2000. The object was captured on camera by the station and filmed before disappearing into space. The author notes that the audio/video link between the space shuttle/ISS and Houston was tapped, and the footage was shared online. The object is described as similar to others filmed from the space shuttle and MIR. The article suggests that these entities are still present and observing human activities.

Article 2: Info-/ Salgsstand på Youngstorget, Oslo, 21.juli 2001 (Info-/Sales Stand at Youngstorget, Oslo, July 21, 2001)

This piece, written by Thomas Hegge, a board member of NETI (Norsk Etterretningstjeneste for UFO-forskning - Norwegian Intelligence Service for UFO Research), details an information stand set up at Youngstorget in Oslo. The stand aimed to inform the public about NETI and Steven Greer's Disclosure Project. Despite minimal resources, they used documents from the Disclosure Project, NETI brochures, and old UFO-nytt magazines. The event was met with positive responses, with many people unaware of the UFO phenomenon's secrecy. Hegge encourages other NETI members to organize similar events, highlighting the low cost and positive interactions.

Article 3: THE MOTHER OF ALL CROPCIRCLES

This article, by Pål Aune, describes a massive crop circle discovered on August 13, 2001, at Milk Hill, Wiltshire, England, near Avebury and Silbury. Dubbed 'The Julia Set', it is characterized as gigantic, intricate, and mysterious, spanning over 700 square feet and comprising 409 individual circles. The author argues that its scale and complexity make it unlikely to be man-made. The article notes that the location, near known sites like Silbury Hill and Avebury, and the heavy rain on the night of its creation would have hindered any human attempt to create it. Furthermore, no footprints were found, despite the large number of people that would be required. Local farmers reported seeing blinking lights in the field that night, raising questions about whether they were UFOs or merely flashlights. Researchers have identified typical characteristics of a genuine circle, including electrical and magnetic disturbances and internal heat bursts. This formation is described as the largest and most intricate discovered in England that year, with 24 other crop circles also reported.

Article 4: BUDSKAP SENDT UT I UNIVERSET RETURNERT MED NY BETYDNING (Message Sent Into the Universe Returned With New Meaning)

This article by Pål Aune discusses the ARECIBO signal, sent into space in 1974, and its alleged appearance in a crop field near Chilbolton, Hampshire, England, on August 17, 2001. Two 'photograms' were discovered near the Chilbolton radiotelescope. One image is a modified version of the ARECIBO signal, while the other depicts a human-like face. The ARECIBO signal, a powerful transmission containing information about humanity, Earth, and the solar system, was directed at the M13 star cluster, 20,000 light-years away. The article explains the binary code used to construct the ARECIBO image, detailing its representation of numbers, atomic elements, and DNA. The Chilbolton response appears to mirror this structure but includes changes, such as the addition of silicon to DNA, and depicts a different solar system configuration and alien figures. The article suggests that the aliens, who claim to be a hydrogen/carbon-based life form with similar mathematical logic, are smaller than humans with larger heads. They claim to inhabit three planets and a moon in their solar system. The article speculates that the aliens possess hyper-space technology, allowing them to receive the ARECIBO signal much faster than light would normally travel. The appearance of the 'photograms' next to a radio telescope is seen as significant, and the author suggests that the aliens are aware of the crop circle phenomenon, possibly even being its creators.

Correspondence Regarding UFO Disclosure

This section contains a series of letters related to the potential disclosure of UFO information. Charles A. Huffer writes to Congressman Asa Hutchinson, requesting that a letter be forwarded to Vice President Dick Cheney. Huffer recounts a conversation with then-candidate George W. Bush in Springdale, Arkansas, where Bush promised to reveal UFO information if elected. Huffer's letter to Cheney outlines a nine-stage disclosure plan, starting with confirmation of extraterrestrial/interdimensional origins and the release of craft and alien photos, progressing to autopsy reports and details of alien contact.

Congressman Hutchinson forwards Huffer's request to Vice President Cheney's office. The Vice President's office responds, stating that the matter is being forwarded to NASA for review. NASA, in a letter signed by Jeff M. Bingham, Associate Administrator for Legislative Affairs, states that they have no program for investigating UFOs and no factual evidence of extraterrestrial life, enclosing a Fact Sheet titled "The US Government and Unidentified Flying Objects."

Another letter from Hutchinson to Huffer confirms that the Vice President sent the correspondence to NASA, which then referred it to the Department of the Air Force. Hutchinson promises to forward any further information.

A Norwegian section discusses Huffer's experience of feeling "taken for a ride" by the US bureaucracy after Bush's election, with NASA ultimately denying the existence of the phenomenon.

Article 5: TESLA TEKNOLOGI I DAG (Tesla Technology Today)

This article discusses International Turbine And Power (ITP), a company founded by three engineers aiming to build a revolutionary "thermodynamic converter" engine based on Nikola Tesla's bladeless boundary disk turbine. The engine is designed to run on almost any fuel, be highly efficient, and cost-effective. The article highlights Tesla's original concept and how modern technology and materials can overcome its limitations. The ITP-GPA "Thermodynamic Converter" is described as having an incredible power-to-weight ratio and producing significantly lower emissions than current engines. It is suggested that this technology is critical for addressing the current energy crisis.

Article 6: DEN BIOLOGISKE COMPUTER -EN MARK-ULATOR- ER FØDT! (The Biological Computer - A Leech-ulator - Is Born!)

This article reports on the development of a biological computer, nicknamed a "leech-ulator," created by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Professor Bill Ditto. This computer uses leech neurons and is designed to be more flexible and capable of solving problems independently by filling in gaps in information, unlike conventional silicon-based computers. The researchers aim to create a new generation of computers that can "think for themselves." The article notes that leech neurons are used due to their well-understood functionality and ability to form their own connections. This technology is seen as particularly useful for pattern recognition, such as reading handwriting. The ultimate goal is to integrate this technology with robotics and electronics to create more sentient computers.

Article 7: Neil Armstrong's UFO Photos

This section presents previously unreleased private photographs taken by Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, allegedly showing UFOs over the lunar surface. The images are presented without further commentary.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, extraterrestrial contact, government secrecy surrounding these phenomena, and the potential for advanced technologies (both terrestrial and extraterrestrial). The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting evidence and theories from various sources, including eyewitness accounts, photographic evidence, and scientific research. There is a clear interest in challenging official narratives and promoting the idea that UFOs and extraterrestrial life are real and warrant further investigation and disclosure. The publication also shows an interest in fringe science and alternative technologies, such as Nikola Tesla's work and biocomputers.
