UFO-Nytt - 2006 No 1

Magazine Overview

This document is the first newsletter from NETI in 2006, titled "NYHETSBREV FRA NETI NR. 1 – 2006". It serves as a replacement for previous, more expensive membership magazines. The newsletter aims to provide members with updated information on UFO phenomena, interviews, historical retrospectives, upcoming activities, meetings, and member contributions. The editor, Kjell Arne Høviskeland, actively solicits feedback from members.

Editorial and Board Information

The newsletter introduces the current board composition until the March 2006 annual meeting. Torgeir Sjøstrøm Hansen is the Leader, and the board members include Kjell Arne Høviskeland, Kitty H.B.Kristiansen, Tore Alfstad, and Nina Wesseltoft. Several deputy members and the election committee are also listed, with their respective leaders and members. The annual meeting for 2006 is scheduled to take place in Geilo.

2006 Activities and Plans

NETI plans to produce between 8-12 newsletters in 2006. Meetings are held regularly in Oslo on the second Monday of each month, with Berit Oftedal as the contact person. Meetings in Raufoss are coordinated by Kjell Arne Høviskeland, with participants hosting meetings at their homes. The organization is also planning a UFO-Treff, a long weekend event for members, possibly in June, August, or September, with potential locations in Geilo/Gol. Additionally, a group trip to Hessdalen is being considered for UFO observation and to meet with locals, including Bjarne Lillevold, who has reported numerous UFO sightings.

Kjell Arne Høviskeland is taking the lead in organizing these trips and producing the newsletters. NETI is also working on an information package to inform selected individuals in Norway about the UFO phenomenon, involving translation of materials and compilation of video clips for a DVD, with a target completion date of September 2006.

UFO Sightings in 2005

The newsletter includes several UFO sighting reports from 2005:

• August 12, 2005 (01:45): Bjørn Holden reported seeing a powerful, egg-shaped light, approximately 15x7 meters, moving east over his remote cabin near Riasten. The light was intense yellow-white with a green fringe and illuminated the ground beneath it. It moved towards the mountains and eventually disappeared.
• June 26, 2005 (17:00-18:00): Amund Solheim observed a very bright light, about 2 meters in diameter, hovering 20-30 meters above the ground near Ålen. The light appeared and disappeared multiple times over a period of about 30 seconds each, before reappearing weaker and vanishing again. This occurred after a period of heavy thunderstorms.
• January 1, 2005 (18:56): Hallfrid and Bjarne Lillevold witnessed a strong light moving erratically southwards over Hessdalen. The object stopped and started, moving jerkily, and disappeared after approximately 10 minutes.

The Roswell Incident

A significant portion of the newsletter is dedicated to the Roswell incident of 1947. It references Willy Ustad's book "ROSWELL-MYSTERIET" and focuses on the cameraman's report and a nurse's testimony.

Cameraman's Account

The cameraman, who served in the military from 1942 to 1952, was transferred to the intelligence service in late 1944. He was ordered to travel to Roswell to film a crashed object and its wreckage. He was told it was a Russian spy plane but quickly realized it was a large, disc-shaped "flying saucer" lying on its back. He was instructed to film everything and not leave the site until the wreckage was removed. He was given access to all areas and instructed to have any obstructing officers contact General McMullan. He also received similar instructions from General Tooey, who reiterated the spy plane story.

He flew to Roswell with sixteen other officers and personnel, mostly medical staff, via Wright-Patterson. Upon arrival, the area was cordoned off. The heat radiating from the wreckage was noticeable. The medical personnel from SAC took charge, awaiting further orders. The cameraman observed unusual "creatures" (referred to as "water creatures" or "circus creatures") near the wreckage, some of whom were injured and screaming while holding boxes. He began filming the craft and the scene. After the area was deemed safe, he collected wreckage and filmed the aftermath. He was later ordered to Fort Worth to film an autopsy, wearing a protective suit due to the potential medical risks posed by the "water creatures." He admits to removing the suit during filming against orders.

He processed hundreds of film rolls and sent the first batch to Washington. He claims to have kept the remaining rolls because Washington never arranged for their pickup. He was later asked to film a third autopsy in May 1949.

Nurse's Testimony

A nurse at the Roswell base provided her account to Glenn Dennis, a funeral director. She was ordered to the storage room to retrieve supplies and found two men in surgical attire examining two gurneys, each with a body bag. Inside were two small, mutilated bodies. She was asked to assist and take notes. She described the bodies as having disproportionately large heads, flexible bone structures, and unusual limb proportions. One hand was missing fingers with suction-cup-like pads. The mouth lacked teeth, and there were ear canal abnormalities and a concave nose. The eyes were large and sunken. Her description of the head size and facial features reminded one of the doctors of a "hundred-year-old Chinese person."

She stated that the bodies were not taken to the Ballard Funeral Home. Glenn Dennis made sketches of the bodies, which are now lost. The nurse was later sent away from Roswell the same evening she spoke to Dennis. Another nurse, possibly Captain Wilson, informed Dennis that the first nurse had been sent to England. Dennis received a letter from her later, confirming she was in England and had no time to write.

Membership Information

In 2005, NETI had 64 paying members, a decrease from 76 members in 2004. The organization aims to increase its membership in 2006 through its information dissemination efforts. Members interested in starting local groups are encouraged to contact NETI.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter adopts a stance of serious inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting witness testimonies and alleged evidence without overt skepticism. The focus is on disseminating information and encouraging member participation. The Roswell incident is presented as a significant, unresolved case with compelling witness accounts. The editorial tone is informative and aims to engage the readership in the ongoing exploration of the UFO subject. The newsletter emphasizes the importance of member feedback for improving future issues.

Høviskeland, Issue 6, Volume 1, dated February 6, 2006, is a Norwegian newsletter focusing on UFO phenomena, particularly the Hessdalen case, and related topics like spirituality and potential new energy sources. The publication aims to inform its members and the public about ongoing research and discussions within the UFO community.

Article: Letter from Glenn Dennis

The issue begins with an excerpt detailing a letter received by Glenn Dennis, which was typewritten and bore a "Return to Sender" mark with a "DECEASED" stamp. Despite this, Dennis harbored hope that the sender was still alive and that the letter was a cover for something more.

Rune Øverby's Commentary

Rune Øverby provides a commentary on the methods used by entities like the CIA to suppress UFO witnesses through threats and liquidation, and by the general public through ridicule. He notes that the internet has been crucial in disseminating information, but acknowledges that even online, efforts are made to block systems, citing examples of attempts to block the servers of galactic.to. Øverby believes that despite these efforts, those with a broader understanding of our planet's evolution will ultimately prevail.

Mini-Interview with Erling Strand (Project Hessdalen)

This section provides background information on Hessdalen, a valley in Norway near Trondheim, where strange light phenomena were observed starting in December 1981. Hundreds of sightings were reported until 1984, with up to 20 per week at its peak. Project Hessdalen was established in 1983, conducting field expeditions in 1984 and 1985. While the number of observations has decreased to about 20 per year, an automatic monitoring station was installed in August 1998. The phenomenon is referred to as the "Hessdalen Phenomenon."

The interview with Erling Strand, a contact person for Project Hessdalen, reveals the project's current status. Due to a lack of funds, there are no cameras or video equipment at the monitoring station, and the software needs improvement. A computer is currently sending data to a US university. Plans for the future include hiring a person to work on the project and finding a programmer to volunteer their time to develop better software. The project is seeking funds for a half-year position costing approximately 150,000 Norwegian Kroner. Images from the website go up to 2003, with gaps for 2004 and 2005 due to equipment shortages. Members can visit Hessdalen for a tour in August.

Strand notes a decline in recent observations, with only a few in 2005. The newsletter thanks Strand for the mini-interview and promises a more extensive one in 2006.

Supporting Project Hessdalen

Readers are encouraged to support Project Hessdalen by becoming a "Friend of Project Hessdalen." Members receive a membership card, reports twice a year, special information not always for public release, and an annual invitation to a guided tour in Hessdalen. Membership requires a minimum payment of 500 Norwegian Kroner. Contact information for Erling Strand is provided (phone and email).

Høviskeland urges those who can to support this important project, mentioning NETI as one of its sponsors. For those unable to pay the full amount at once, a payment plan of 100 Kroner per month for five months is suggested.

Article: "Spennings, syntese og spiritualitet i norsk UFO-bevegelse" (Tensions, Synthesis, and Spirituality in the Norwegian UFO Movement)

This section introduces a doctoral thesis by Jan Bertil Heilund from the University of Bergen, completed in 2005. The thesis, a book-length work, places significant emphasis on the organization NETI and UFO Norge, exploring themes of religion, UFOs, and various viewpoints on the UFO phenomenon. The author reportedly had to remove about 100 pages and revise content because the approving committee found the work too pro-UFO.

Heilund can be contacted directly to order a copy of the book for 250 Norwegian Kroner (including postage), with approximately 10-12 copies remaining. The book/thesis is recommended.

Future Topics: Crop Circles

The newsletter announces that crop circles will be a topic covered in future issues.

Semjase and Billy Meier

Images of Semjase and Billy Meier are presented, with a promise of more information about their contacts in upcoming newsletters.

Editorial Note and Closing

The editor, Kjell Arne Høviskeland, apologizes for the irregular publication of the newsletter due to difficulties in obtaining content, translation help, and the editorial work involved. He expresses hope for feedback from members and clarifies that the articles in the newsletter do not necessarily reflect NETI's official stance on the UFO phenomenon. The responsibility for the published material lies with the individual authors.

The newsletter was concluded on Monday, February 6, 2006.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO phenomena (specifically Hessdalen), the efforts to study and understand them, the potential for new technologies and energy sources, and the intersection of UFO beliefs with spirituality and societal skepticism. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging research and support for projects like Hessdalen, while acknowledging the challenges of censorship and public ridicule. The editor emphasizes that the views expressed in articles are those of the authors, not necessarily the official position of NETI.
