This issue of UFO-NYTT, the newsletter from NETI, provides a comprehensive update on UFO-related news, investigations, and events. It features a mix of witness testimonies, reports on alleged government secrecy, and discussions on UFO technology, drawing from international sources.

Editor's Column

Kjell Arne Høviskeland, the editor, outlines NETI's plans for 2007, which include two trips to Hessdalen, a trip to Wiltshire, England, to study crop circles, participation in a UFO conference in Leeds, and celebrating NETI's 10th anniversary in November. The organization also plans to continue its meetings in Oslo and Raufoss and hopes to start meetings in Bergen. Høviskeland expresses enthusiasm for the Hessdalen trips and the upcoming UFO conference in Leeds, noting that three members are already planning to attend.

He also hopes that 2007 will bring more declassified documents related to the UFO phenomenon, making previously classified information accessible to the public. NETI aims to keep its members updated on global UFO developments.

NETI Events and Information

The newsletter announces NETI's participation in the Alternativmessa in Bergen from March 16-18, 2007, where Torgeir Sjøstrøm Hansen will give a presentation titled "You won't believe it until you see it," based on video recordings of UFOs and witness accounts. Eva-Marie Brekkestø will also present on crop circles. The annual meeting for NETI is scheduled for Sunday, March 4, at 12:00 PM at Rica Travel Hotell in Bergen. An Oslo meeting is planned for Wednesday, March 14, at 6:00 PM, a video evening at Rosenkrantzgaten 9, with Sissel Tuveng as the contact person.

Witness Testimonies and Government Secrecy

A significant portion of the newsletter is dedicated to witness accounts, drawing from Dr. Steven M. Greer's book "Hidden Truth – Forbidden Knowledge." These testimonies highlight alleged government cover-ups and the suppression of information regarding UFOs.

• Merle Shane McDOW (US Marine): Describes an intense interrogation where he was warned not to reveal anything he had seen or heard about a UFO incident.
• Charles Brown (Retired Lieutenant Colonel, US Air Force): Discusses how witnesses to crimes are often imprisoned or killed, contrasting this with the lack of official answers regarding UFOs for decades, suggesting a failure in research or intelligence.
• Dr. Robert Wood (Engineer, McDonnell Douglas Aerospace): Recounts how UFO-related documents he found in Air Force archives suddenly disappeared, and a librarian with twenty years of experience found this highly unusual. He also mentions the suspicious death of Jim McDonald, a physicist he knew, shortly after McDonald claimed to have found an answer to the UFO mystery.
• Dr. Paul CzysZ (McDonnel Douglas Career Engineer): Compares the 'black budget' world to "Casper the friendly ghost," stating that while its existence is known, its scale and funding are obscured by complex declarations and compartmentalization.
• John Callahan (FAA Head of Accidents and Investigations): Details an incident where FAA officials, after investigating a potential UFO sighting, swore that the meeting and the event never happened. He explains that releasing information about UFOs to the public could cause widespread panic.

UFO Sightings and Incidents

Several specific UFO incidents are reported:

• UFO Crash in South Africa: A UFO was observed near Lephalale, South Africa, described as an "orange cloud, singing like a million turbines," before crashing with a loud impact. Leonie Ras, a witness, described the object as round with an orange-red tail. The local authorities reportedly showed little interest in investigating.
• Peterborough Sightings (UK): The newsletter details numerous UFO sightings and paranormal events in and around Peterborough, England, dating back to 1909. These include reports of strange lights, pyramid-shaped craft, triangular UFOs, and crop circles. Michael Hoffman, head of the UFO investigation group Sky Lights, is using the UK's Freedom of Information Act to access previously classified Ministry of Defence (MoD) documents.
• Pilots See UFO over Chicago: Several employees of United Airlines, including pilots, reported seeing a UFO hovering over O'Hare Airport in Chicago. The FAA initially dismissed it as a weather phenomenon, but a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that a United supervisor had inquired about a "rotating, disc-shaped object."
• Gwent, Wales Sighting: Two police officers observed two orange flying objects in circles over a field, which subsequently formed a crop circle. They chose not to report the incident for fear of ridicule.
• Djupsjøen Crash (Norway): An account from 1947 describes Bernhard Sollie and Engvik witnessing an egg-shaped object descend into Djupsjøen. The Trondheim UFO-forening investigated this incident, believing it to be a crashed or landed UFO, though no definitive proof was found.

UFO Technology and Invisibility

An article discusses research by Indian scientists at DRDO who are experimenting with devices to detect UFOs through their 'stealth effects' caused by intense electromagnetic flow. This technology, also explored by the Russians, could explain how UFOs become invisible. The article suggests that animals like dogs and cats might sense these energy fields. It posits that UFOs may temporarily retract their electromagnetic flow when entering Earth's atmosphere to avoid interference, explaining why they can suddenly disappear from sight.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO-Nytt strongly emphasizes the theme of UFO phenomena, including sightings, alleged crashes, and the potential for advanced extraterrestrial technology. A recurring theme is the suggestion of government secrecy and cover-ups, with multiple testimonies from former military and government personnel supporting this idea. The newsletter also highlights the efforts of civilian organizations like NETI and the Trondheim UFO-forening in investigating these phenomena, often in contrast to the lack of interest from official scientific bodies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the UFO subject, encouraging members to stay informed and involved, while acknowledging that the published articles do not necessarily reflect NETI's official views, with individual authors bearing responsibility for their content.
