Editorial (Leder)

The editorial, written by Torgeir Hansen, begins with an apology for the late delivery of the magazine, attributing it to the challenges of producing it in one's free time as a family man. Hansen expresses the need to involve more people in the production process. He recounts NETI's participation in the Alternativmessen (Alternative Fair) in Oslo, which, despite being a financial loss, allowed them to reach many people, some of whom joined the organization. He thanks those who helped at the fair, including Pål Aune, and the speakers Rune Øverby and Tore Alfstad. Hansen mentions receiving new writings and translations for the magazine and thanks the contributors. He reviews the movie "SIGNS," finding it disappointing for its superficial treatment of the crop circle phenomenon. He notes the trend of films focusing on fear and mentions a new film about an extraterrestrial coming to Earth to save humanity. The editorial also touches upon a potential filming trip to Voss and mentions recent UFO observations, including seeing 10 objects in half an hour near Radøy, questioning if they were satellites. A report on the Hessdalen phenomenon on TV2 is also noted.

Articles and Features

• Leder (Editorial): By Torgeir Hansen, discussing recent NETI activities, including the Oslo Alternative Fair, and reflections on UFO-related films like "SIGNS."
• Elektromagnetisk fusjon og ET rom teknologi (Electromagnetic Fusion and ET Space Technology): Translated by Tom Benjaminsen. This section features an interview with David Adair, a "Rom Teknologi konsulent" (Space Technology Consultant), who shares his extraordinary experiences related to Area 51. Adair claims that as a teenager, he tested his own prototype electromagnetic fusion motor. He describes his background in rocketry and engineering, including winning an award from the Air Force and designing a jet-turbine motor. Adair discusses his work with Intersect Inc. and his role as a consultant. The interview delves into Adair's claims about government papers and his desire for public hearings on extraterrestrial technology. He recounts being taken to Area 51, where he saw various craft and worked on reconstructing technologies. He mentions that people may have spent decades working on these projects and questions who is paying for it.

Adair details his personal connection to General Curtis E. LeMay, whose parents lived in his hometown. He explains how his mother's friendship with LeMay's parents led to his involvement. Adair built a rocket that set a speed record and was recognized by the Air Force. He was funded by Congressman John Ashbrook, who chaired the International Security Committee. When the Air Force inspected his rocket, they were impressed by his formulas and prototype. He was subsequently funded by the NSF (National Science Foundation). His mother became concerned about the government's involvement, leading to a meeting with General LeMay, who became his project manager. An investigator later found documentation of Ashbrook's involvement in congressional archives, confirming Adair's story.

Adair describes how he needed a large vehicle to house his fusion motor, which was to be gigantic. He acquired a decommissioned Titan III ICBM. He explains that he sabotaged his rocket after it landed at Area 51 to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. He mentions that the motor he built was an "Elektromagnetisk Fusjons Oppdemnings Motoren" (Electromagnetic Fusion Containment Motor), noting its incredible speed, capable of accelerating from 0 to 14,000 km/h in about 4.6 seconds. He states that the rocket was built with titanium, iconel, and carbonite for strength and lightness.

The interview continues with Adair recounting his experience at Area 51 on June 20, 1971. He describes entering a facility through a steel door scanned by a retina scanner. Inside, the temperature dropped significantly, and the space was illuminated without visible light sources or shadows. He was taken to an underground hangar where a massive electromagnetic fusion motor, the size of a bus, was located. He was asked by an officer if he wanted to help with this motor, given its similarity to his own, and if he wanted to help his country.

• Sterke møter med de utenomjordiske (Strong Encounters with Extraterrestrials): By Karen-Sofie Thorstensen. This article details personal accounts of encounters with extraterrestrials.
• Nærkontakt av første grad (First Degree Close Encounter): Likely a report on a close encounter.
• Observasjoner fra andre deler av verden! (Observations from other parts of the world!!): A collection of UFO sightings from various global locations.
• Tipsflom etter UFO-film (Flood of Tips after UFO Film): Suggests a surge of reports following a UFO-related film.
• UFO-gåten over Asker er løst (The UFO Mystery over Asker is Solved): Implies a resolution or explanation for a specific UFO incident in Asker.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial intelligence, and advanced technologies, particularly electromagnetic fusion. There is a strong emphasis on personal testimonies and alleged government secrecy surrounding these topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and a desire for transparency, as evidenced by the call for public hearings and the critique of films that sensationalize or misrepresent UFO-related subjects. The magazine also highlights the activities and goals of the NETI organization, positioning itself as a platform for disseminating information and fostering discussion within the UFO community in Norway.

Title: UFO-Aktuelt
Issue: 1
Volume: 1995
Date: 1995
Publisher: UFO-Aktuelt
Country: Norway
Language: Norwegian
Price: 35 kr

This issue of UFO-Aktuelt delves into compelling extraterrestrial encounters and advanced, potentially alien, technology. It features a detailed interview with an individual named David, who recounts his experiences at Area-51 and his subsequent experiments with advanced propulsion concepts. The magazine also includes personal testimonies from Karen-Sofie Thorstensen about her direct encounters with non-human beings and a report on the activities of NETI (The Norwegian Organization for the Study of Extra Terrestrial Intelligence).

David's Encounters and Experiments

The core of the issue features a lengthy interview with David, who recounts a pivotal experience at Area-51 in 1971. He describes encountering a damaged engine, which he found to be incredibly advanced and unlike anything of terrestrial origin. He noted its seamless construction, lacking screws or rivets, and its unusual reaction to his touch, emitting blue and white swirling lights. David theorized that the engine operated on a principle similar to a magnetic bottle or a contained fusion reaction, possibly related to creating an artificial black hole.

David also details his experiments with shaping metal in zero gravity, inspired by his observations. Using a GAS (Get Away Special) program, he melted alloys and then, with the aid of a Moog synthesizer, used specific sound frequencies to form the liquid metal into precise shapes. He posits that this process, which he believes was used in the construction of the Area-51 engine, demonstrates a technology far beyond current human capabilities.

He further describes the engine's organic-like structure, with fiber-optic-like conduits filled with a liquid, resembling neuro-synaptic firings. He felt the engine had a form of consciousness, reacting not only to heat but also to mental waves, demonstrating an empathic connection.

Karen-Sofie Thorstensen's Encounters

Karen-Sofie Thorstensen shares her personal experiences with extraterrestrial beings, which she has been documenting for about ten years. She describes several distinct encounters, primarily occurring in her bedroom. In one significant event on the night of March 25-26, 2002, she awoke to find two extraterrestrial beings in her room. She describes them as having a human-like but narrower and more delicate form, with higher foreheads. They moved slowly, as if floating, and she noted a strange, 'acidic' energy that caused her skin to 'burn'.

In another encounter, she observed multiple beings outside her window, describing them as 'cute' and resembling small children. Later, she saw figures with cat-like ears, which she later confirmed matched a description from another contactee. Thorstensen also describes seeing numerous moving spirals and colored lights in her room during these events. She speculates that these beings originate from a planet called IANOARY, located in the Sirius system, and that she may have had a past connection to this planet.

NETI and UFO Beliefs

The magazine also features an article titled 'Nærkontakt av første grad' (First Degree Close Encounter) which profiles the Norwegian Organization for the Study of Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (NETI). The article highlights the diverse membership of NETI, comprising individuals from various backgrounds who have all reported UFO sightings. The organization's chairman, Torgeir Hansen, emphasizes their goal of uncovering and disseminating suppressed information about UFOs and extraterrestrial life, which they believe is being hidden by governments and military organizations.

NETI members express frustration with the stigma attached to UFO research, often being labeled as 'crackpots'. They argue that the vastness of the universe makes it improbable that Earth is alone. The article touches upon the difficulty of obtaining clear photographic evidence of UFOs and the members' desire for proof that would convince skeptics. They also ponder the implications of a potential alien disclosure, with some expressing concern about the nature of the visitors, though Torgeir Hansen suggests the real problem lies with humanity's own potential hostility.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the existence of advanced, non-human technology, direct encounters with extraterrestrial beings, and the perceived suppression of information by authorities. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting personal testimonies and investigative reports as credible evidence. There is a strong undercurrent of belief in the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence, coupled with a critical view of governmental transparency on the subject. The magazine aims to validate the experiences of those who have witnessed these phenomena and to challenge mainstream skepticism.

This issue of UFO-Magasinet, dated November 2002, focuses on UFO observations from around the world, with a particular emphasis on an incident in Asker, Norway, which is presented as having been 'solved'. The magazine features reports from the USA (Seattle, Spokane, Virginia, Wisconsin), Mexico, and Argentina, alongside the detailed investigation into the Asker sighting.

Observations from Around the World

Seattle, USA (September 18, 2002)

A woman reported observing a very large, 'cigar-shaped' object making maneuvers in the western sky. She described it as disc-like or cigar-shaped with multiple lights, performing large maneuvers and circular flights. She estimated its size to be about three times that of a Boeing 747 and stated she was familiar with normal aircraft.

Spokane, USA (September 14, 2002)

Three unidentified objects were reported flying from east to west, followed by several fighter jets. The witness heard a mechanical sound, similar to a Volkswagen Beetle or a helicopter, and saw a solid white light moving towards them (westward).

Mexico - Digital Photos of UFO

A report from Las Gaviotas/Baja, Mexico, details a digital photograph taken on September 13, 2002. The image shows a light that transformed into a round object, flew in circles, and then sped off, leaving a greenish smoke. The witness stated that the image was taken 30 seconds after a previous photo showed nothing, indicating a rapid and unusual event.

Argentinian Police See Eight UFOs

Police officers in Sampacho, Cordoba province, Argentina, reported seeing several round, luminous objects flying with 'waggling' movements. These objects were observed from a distance, and other police officers were contacted. The phenomenon was seen on September 6, 2002, around 10:00 PM. Two officers observed 8 objects with red lights around them, hovering over hills at an altitude of 1500 meters for several minutes. The UFOs made no sound. The report thanks Mario Luis Bracamonte from the Argentinian information service for UFO phenomena.

Virginia – UFO Observation (September 15, 2002)

In Poquoson, Virginia, a witness reported a very bright light flying at high speed across the sky on September 15, 2002. The witness contacted Langley Air Force Base, which confirmed they had no aircraft in the air at that time. There were some clouds due to tropical rainfall, but no other reports or meteor sightings were received.

Wisconsin – Bright Light (September 26, 2002)

Jamie B., a 21-year-old, saw a white luminous object about 30 degrees up in the sky on September 26, 2002. The object alternated between dimming and brightening. The witness followed it for two minutes as it moved south. Another person also observed it, describing it as a strange aircraft. Later, the object appeared smaller, blinking white and red, then shifting to blue. The witness's mother observed it moving north, describing it as a plane flying slowly.

Mystery Over Asker: Flood of Tips After UFO Film

This section, attributed to "Fox Mulder" and published on November 22, 2002, discusses a UFO-like phenomenon filmed over Asker, Norway, on Tuesday, November 19, 2002, by Helene Solberg. The film captured a light for three minutes, with no accompanying sound. Helene's husband, Stig Solberg, initially dismissed it but became uncertain after seeing the film. They contacted aviation experts and astronomers without a definitive answer.

Following the publication of images from the film by Nettavisen, the editorial office received numerous tips and new observations. Many described seeing a 'burning fireball' on Tuesday and previous days. Several anecdotal accounts are included:

• Fornebu: An employee at Telenor Fornebu saw a strange light on Tuesday, initially thinking it was a plane. They watched for over 20 minutes and saw no movement. When a plane did appear, it left a golden stripe in the horizon, leading the witness to dismiss the plane theory.
• Krokstadelva: A couple saw a similar 'ball' over Krokstadelva in the summer, noting its low altitude and slow movement before it disappeared over a hill. They found the filmed images to be strikingly similar.
• Oslo: A witness saw a 'tail of light' early one morning directly overhead, which then disappeared. This occurred in Årvoll, Oslo.
• E18 (Oslo to Asker): Several people in a traffic jam reportedly saw the 'fireball' and observed cars driving unusually slowly.
• Bærum: A report from Griniveien in Bærum described an unusually bright, stationary object seen to the north around 7:00 PM on Tuesday. The witness initially thought it was Venus or another planet but noted the almanac did not support this.
• Kongsberg: On the way home from work, a witness observed the same object over Jonsknuten around 3:45 PM. It was no longer a fireball but looked like a 'sleek rocket' with a red/yellow fiery tail.

Possible Explanations

Several possible explanations were proposed by tipsters: a meteor, space debris burning up in the atmosphere, or a plane where the reflection from the sunset made it appear glowing.

UFO Riddle Over Asker Solved

Published on November 26, 2002, this article declares the Asker UFO "solved," identifying it as condensation trails from a passenger jet. Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard from the Astrophysical Institute at the University of Oslo explained that the light primarily comes from the condensation trail, and the blinking lights are reflections from the aircraft itself, visible when it passes between tree branches.

Clas Svahn from UFO-Sverige (Sweden) suspected it was a plane from the start, noting that similar Swedish video recordings of phenomena under specific light and weather conditions were also identified as aircraft.

Svahn confirmed the explanation through a Swedish radar system. The phenomenon seen on Helene Solberg's video was a condensation trail from a plane flying from Northern Norway towards the south at an altitude of 11,400 meters.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents witness testimonies of unexplained aerial phenomena, often with detailed descriptions of object shapes, lights, and movements. While the Asker incident is definitively explained as a natural phenomenon (condensation trail), the overall tone suggests an ongoing interest in genuine UFO mysteries. The magazine solicits reader input for further investigations, indicating an open approach to unexplained sightings while also providing scientific explanations when available. The inclusion of the "NETI" organization, focused on the study of extraterrestrial intelligence, suggests a continued engagement with the broader UFO topic.
