UFO-Nytt - 2008 No 7

Magazine Overview

This is the Christmas 2008 issue (Number 7) of the Norwegian UFO newsletter, UFO-Nytt, published by NETI. The issue is dated 2008 and includes a holiday greeting from the NETI board.

Editor's Column (Redaktørens spalte)

The editor, Kjell Arne Høviskeland, notes that not much has happened since the previous issue but highlights NETI's participation in an alternative fair in Oslo, where they gained over 10 new members. Plans are underway to establish regular UFO meetings in Oslo, similar to those in Sarpsborg, and to potentially restart meetings in Bergen in the first half of 2009. The UFO meetings in Sarpsborg, held monthly at an alternative center, have been running for four times, with recent meetings attracting around 20 people interested in lectures and UFO documentaries. A recent NETI board meeting via phone conference decided on several important matters for 2009, including adjusting membership fees due to rising costs for printing and mailing the newsletter to non-email subscribers. They may also reduce the number of printed issues for postal subscribers to four per year. These changes are partly to afford participation in alternative fairs in Oslo, Bergen, and Trondheim, with the Oslo fair alone costing over 7,875 NOK. NETI currently has 172 members as of December 16, 2008. The organization also aims to afford a small UFO conference and purchase equipment like a screen and projector for public information. They have received 1200 NOK in donations for this purpose in 2008. The 2007 accounts showed a deficit of over 8,000 NOK, and the 2008 accounts will determine if the proposed adjustments are necessary. The editor expresses hope for member understanding and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New UFO Year 2009.

NRK Denied UFO Segment with Robbie Williams

This section reports on alleged censorship by Norwegian media. The artist Robbie Williams recently participated in a UFO observation in the USA, and NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) reportedly refused to air a segment about it, stating they are not permitted to cover UFOs in their news coverage. Robbie Williams had previously spoken positively about the website AboveTopSecret.com and his belief in intelligent extraterrestrial life. He and Jon Ronson had visited the Nevada desert to investigate the phenomenon. Williams expressed a desire to be part of the UFO community and attend conferences. The article mentions that NRK was not allowed to cover this news, and a person who tipped NRK was told they were not permitted to cover UFOs in Norway. The article suggests that the state might be practicing censorship, possibly due to pressure from the Police Security Service (PST), which has close ties with the CIA. In contrast, journalist Larry King is noted for covering UFO observations.

New Book on UFO Photographs and Films in Norway

A new book, "Norway in UFO Photographs: The First Catalogue" by Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and Ole Jonny Brænne, is announced. This extensive report compiles and analyzes 744 UFO photo cases from Norway between 1909 and 2005, including 479 cases related to the Hessdalen phenomenon. It is the first comprehensive review of known UFO reports in Norway with photographic or video evidence. The book is 206 pages, written in English, and comes with a CD containing the full book in PDF format. It can be ordered from UFO-Norges webshop for 349 NOK, including postage.

UFOs in "List Books"

This section presents a list of notable UFO-related phenomena and records compiled from a Schibsted book. Eight items are highlighted:

1. The Golden Flyer: A small, ancient gold artifact from South America resembling a modern jet plane with delta wings. It is speculated to represent a sea creature but has features like an upright tail and a cockpit-like opening.
2. Ezekiel's Wheel: A biblical account from 597 BC describing a celestial chariot with four living creatures and wheels that appeared to be made of chrysolite, with one wheel inside another. The author speculates if this could be a craft piloted by extraterrestrial beings.
3. The Green Children: In August 1887, two children with green skin and slanted eyes emerged from a cave in Spain, speaking an unknown language. They claimed to have been blown into the cave by a whirlwind from a land of twilight, leading to speculation about interdimensional travel.
4. UFO Sightings in 1897: On April 19, 1897, a farmer in Kansas observed a 90-meter long, cigar-shaped aircraft hovering over his property. On March 27, 1897, over 200 people in Topeka, Kansas, witnessed a large object flying overhead.
5. Explosions in Siberia: On June 30, 1908, a powerful explosion occurred in Siberia, described by witnesses as a pillar of fire or mushroom cloud. Investigations by Soviet scientists in 1927 ruled out a meteorite and suggested possibilities like a collision with antimatter from space or a crashed spaceship.
6. UFOs in 1913: On February 9, 1913, strange flying objects were observed moving horizontally across the sky, slower than meteorites. They were seen by farmers and astronomers in Canada, Bermuda, Brazil, and Africa.
7. The Hill Couple Visits a Flying Saucer: On September 19, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were stopped by a saucer-shaped craft in New Hampshire. They described beings with large eyes and gray skin and underwent a physical examination. They later recalled the events under hypnosis.
8. Radio Signals from Space: Astronomers have detected radio signals from distant celestial bodies, designated CTA-21 and CTA-102. Professor Gerald Feinberg suggests they might be tachyons, while Soviet astronomer Nikolai S. Kardashev believes they originate from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization. Other theories include signals from auroras or pulsars used as navigational beacons by spaceships.

10,000 BC – Baian Kara Ula, at the Sino-Tibet Border

This section details the discovery in 1938 by archaeologist Chi Pu Tei of a series of systematic graves in the Baian Kara Ula mountains. The graves contained small skeletons with large skulls and cave drawings depicting helmeted beings among stars, sun, and moon. In 1962, Professor Tsum Um Nui translated stone plates found among the graves, revealing a story of beings who crash-landed on Earth about 12,000 years ago. These beings, known as the Dropa, were unable to repair their ship and attempted to befriend the local mountain tribes but were hunted and killed due to their non-human appearance. The translation also described the beings' regret over the crash and their inability to return home. Further discoveries included 716 additional stone discs. Russian scientists later analyzed these discs, finding they contained high concentrations of cobalt and other metallic substances and vibrated or "hummed" rhythmically when placed on a special rotating device, suggesting they were part of an electrical circuit exposed to high voltages.

Alternative Fair in Valhall, Oslo, November 21-23, 2008

NETI had a stand at the alternative fair, attracting many visitors who shared their UFO observations and experiences. The fair provided a safe space for people to share without fear of ridicule. NETI members present were attentive and took all accounts seriously. The fair was important for visibility and attracting new members. Over 10 new members joined, and Rune Øverby gave three UFO lectures. The event also marked NETI's 11th anniversary. The article thanks Rune Øverby, Tore Alfstad, Ingunn, and Berit for their contributions. Despite a small deficit this year, the fair was deemed successful and important for public outreach. The article also acknowledges Ole Jonny Brænne of UFO-Norge for providing UFO documentaries at cost price, and thanks Rune Øverby, Karen-Sofie Thorstensen, and Tore Alfstad for donating 25% of their book sales commissions to NETI, totaling 900 NOK from the fair. Special thanks are extended to Lillian Anita and Freddy of Alternativhuset in Sarpsborg for hosting NETI's monthly UFO meetings, a collaboration that will continue in 2009. Finally, thanks are given to Rolf Kenneth Myhre for allowing his articles to be reprinted.

The Zeta

Preparing Earth's New Era with a Hybrid Program? Part 1 of 2

This article, updated on October 23, 2008, by Rolf Kenneth Myhre, discusses reports of people being abducted by a specific extraterrestrial group known as Zeta since the early 1990s, with abductions occurring on a large scale since the 1950s. Abductees often experience altered states of consciousness, with memories surfacing later through dreams or glimpses, leading some to seek hypnotherapy. Descriptions of Zeta beings are remarkably consistent worldwide. They reportedly use biological robot beings for tasks. Abductees form a consistent group, and their children often become abduction subjects as well. Abductions have two main purposes: a complex hybrid project to create a race of transgenic humans with Zeta genes, and to prepare humanity for global cataclysms that will end the current era and usher in a new one. Some abductees feel they have a mission to fulfill during these end-times. The article also mentions "military abductions" (MILABs) by paramilitary groups, which can be confused with Zeta abductions. Zeta technology is described as so advanced that their existence challenges the prevailing materialistic worldview. The article references the ZetaTalk website, established in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, who claims telepathic contact with a Zeta group on Earth. This group predicts global cataclysms before 2012 due to a close encounter with the planet Nibiru. Nibiru's magnetic field and tail of debris are said to trigger axis and pole shifts, leading to cataclysms that will kill 90% of humanity. The Zeta group confirms a hybrid program started in the 1950s, with the resulting hybrids intended to be the new inhabitants of Earth. The book "ZetaTalk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People" (1999) is cited as a source of information on cosmology, Zeta beings, and Earth's history. The article contrasts this with the skeptical reception of early ET contactees in the USA in the 1950s, such as George Adamski and Truman Bethurum, whose claims were often dismissed by UFO researchers.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFO sightings, extraterrestrial encounters, and related phenomena, often with a critical perspective on mainstream media and government secrecy. There is a strong emphasis on sharing personal experiences and providing a platform for alternative viewpoints. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation into UFO phenomena, acknowledging the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations and their potential influence on human history and future. The publication also highlights the importance of UFO organizations like NETI in disseminating information and fostering community among enthusiasts.

This issue of "UFO-Nytt" (Issue 7, Volume 1, dated December 21, 2008) is published by NETI and focuses on UFO phenomena, particularly alien abductions and the mysterious Hessdalen phenomenon.

The History of Abductions: Betty and Barney Hill

The issue begins by recounting the story of Betty and Barney Hill, an African-American couple from New Hampshire who, on September 19, 1961, reported being followed by a celestial object and subsequently losing consciousness for 2.5 hours. This event is credited with initiating the widespread narrative of UFO abductions. After seeking hypnosis in 1964, their experience was detailed in John G. Fuller's 1966 book, "The Interrupted Journey." During their abduction, Betty Hill asked the aliens about their origin, and they showed her a star map. In 1968, amateur astronomer Marjorie Fish deciphered this map, suggesting the aliens came from the Zeta Reticuli star system. This led to the "Greys" or "Zeta Reticulans" being identified as the ET group involved in abductions.

Betty Andreasson Luca: A Religious Interpretation

The next significant case highlighted is that of Betty Andreasson Luca from Massachusetts, who experienced bizarre events in January 1967. She interpreted her abduction experience in religious terms, possibly as a way for the Zeta Reticulans to avoid frightening her. Her case was investigated ten years later by a hypnotist and other experts, resulting in a 528-page report concluding it was a genuine abduction. UFO researcher Raymond E. Fowler published the first book on this case, "The Andreasson Affair," in 1978, which also suggested that the Greys could induce a coma in individuals near the abductee. Fowler continued to write about Andreasson's case and similar experiences.

The Rise of Abduction Reports and Research

The 1980s saw a significant increase in reported abduction cases, making comparisons possible. Budd Hopkins, an artist and UFO researcher, published "Missing Time" in 1981, analyzing seven cases and identifying a pattern: repeated abductions, the removal of eggs from women and sperm from men, and the presentation of abductees to hybrids on spacecraft. Hopkins also noted unexplained scars on abductees and found them to be reliable witnesses. His work led to hundreds of people contacting him, claiming to have been abducted and wishing to be hypnotized. Personality tests on these subjects showed them to be honest, objective, stable, and normal.

In 1987, horror author Whitley Strieber published "Communion: a true story," detailing his family's experiences with extraterrestrials, which became a bestseller and brought the topic back into mainstream media.

The Roper Organization Survey and Its Implications

In the summer of 1991, The Roper Organization conducted a large-scale survey, designed by Budd Hopkins and David M. Jacobs, to estimate the prevalence of abduction experiences. The survey interviewed 5,947 individuals across the continent. The results, published in 1992, indicated that 2% of the American population (approximately 5 million people) had experiences consistent with abduction, even if they were not aware of it. Jacobs (1998) concluded that a vast number of people have experienced numerous abductions, suggesting that the aliens have invested significant time and energy into this program. He posited that the learning and experimentation phases might be over, and the aliens are now engaged in a systematic program for physiological exploitation of humans.

Polarization in UFO Research

The 1990s saw a division among UFO researchers and organizations. Traditional UFO groups often maintained a stance of never confirming ET/V cases, while newer organizations and researchers focused more on direct contact with extraterrestrials rather than unidentified flying objects.

Key Researchers: David M. Jacobs and John E. Mack

The issue then focuses on two prominent abduction researchers of the 1990s: David M. Jacobs and John E. Mack (1929-2004). Both wrote books based on hypnotic sessions with hundreds of credible abductees, and both began their work after consulting with Budd Hopkins. Jacobs, a history professor at Temple University, approached UFOs from an intellectual, social, and military-historical perspective. His 1975 book, "The UFO Controversy in America," expanded on his doctoral dissertation. He conducted fieldwork and realized the vastness of unexplained UFO reports. Jacobs learned hypnosis and published "Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions" in 1992, detailing typical abduction patterns based on 60 subjects and approximately 300 abductions. His 1998 follow-up, "The Threat: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda," expanded on his earlier work.

Jacobs holds a materialistic worldview, prioritizing scientific and rational explanations. He is primarily interested in the material reality of abduction experiences and dismisses those he believes are fantasies. His skeptical approach ensures rigorous examination of evidence.

Zeta Reticulans: Origin, Spread, and Physiology

The discussion shifts to the Zeta Reticulans, as described in "ZetaTalk" (1999). They claim to originate from a long-extinct planet in the Zeta Reticuli system. They have migrated to numerous habitats and are technologically advanced. "ZetaTalk" estimates around 127 Zeta variants have evolved from the original Zeta. They dislike being called "Greys," arguing that many ET species appear grey to humans, and that humans perceive a limited color spectrum.

Zeta Reticulans are described as hominoids, 150-180 cm tall, with thin bodies and limbs, and large, dark, almond-shaped eyes that cover their face. They have a small mouth, no visible nose, teeth, or tongue, and do not communicate verbally. They are hairless, with leathery skin and no visible bone structure. They appear ageless and lack external signs of gender or reproductive organs. Their arms are long and thin, with long fingers (often three), and their legs are short and thin. They possess excellent fine motor skills and are quick and professional in their actions.

It is speculated that Zeta Reticulans do not breathe and may use photosynthesis. They are believed to neither eat, drink, nor excrete waste. They do not appear to require sleep and have no visible facilities for hygiene. Their physical strength is immense, and they can manipulate objects and gravity mentally. "ZetaTalk" confirms their physical strength is due to their home planet's higher gravity. They reproduce through cloning, and their sexual drive is significantly reduced.

They sustain themselves through a chemical bath that absorbs nutrients through the skin, which they find to be a pleasurable experience. They deny needing enzymes from living organisms, refuting claims that they are responsible for animal mutilations. They breathe through their skin, stimulating chlorophyll production.

Zeta Reticulans: Psycho-Cultural Aspects

Abductees often perceive Zeta Reticulans as driven by a collective consciousness, lacking individuality, creativity, humor, or compassion. Their lives are described as solely work-oriented for the benefit of the collective. They reportedly show irritation and satisfaction but not strong emotions like anger or joy. Abductees have not observed them resting in comfortable positions.

"ZetaTalk" presents a different view, stating that Zeta Reticulans communicate telepathically. While abductees perceive their interactions as instinct-driven and lacking individuality, "ZetaTalk" claims Zeta Reticulans possess highly developed individuality, expressed through their advanced culture and multidimensional holographic media. Their intelligence is estimated at around 260 on an IQ scale.

Zeta Reticulans reportedly have no subconsciousness, unlike humans, which allows for direct and unfiltered communication. This directness is sometimes misinterpreted as a lack of sensitivity or rudeness. As cloning is their mode of reproduction, traditional parental roles are absent, potentially explaining the lack of ambition for personal or familial lineage, which is a strong driver in human society.

Zeta Reticulans engage in complex holographic games and simulations designed to develop strategic planning and teamwork skills. They have transcended mythical and rational dogmas, embracing a trans-rational spiritual understanding.

Zeta Reticulans' Bio-Robots

Zeta Reticulans utilize biological robots for standard tasks. These robots resemble smaller versions of themselves (90-120 cm tall), often wearing metallic grey uniforms. They appear to lack individuality and emotions but can communicate to solve minor problems, deferring to a Zeta if the issue becomes more serious.

The Hessdalen Phenomenon and Terje Toftenes' Film

The issue announces upcoming NETI trips to Hessdalen in 2009 and a potential UFO conference in Leeds. It then introduces a new film by Terje Toftenes titled "Portalen" (The Portal), focusing on the Hessdalen phenomenon. The film explores a paradigm shift in science, revealing deeper physical laws and a new understanding of the universe. It suggests that reality exists in higher and lower dimensions and that consciousness operates on multiple planes. The Hessdalen phenomenon, characterized by unexplained lights and objects observed for decades, is presented as a key element in this new worldview. The film draws parallels to similar phenomena globally and questions whether the Hessdalen phenomenon could reveal new energy sources and solutions to environmental problems.

Dr. Steven Greer, through The Disclosure Project, is mentioned as revealing hidden information about new knowledge that could change culture. The film "Portalen" is over an hour long and was scheduled for release in January 2009. It had its world premiere in Oslo on December 13th. A special version focusing on the Hessdalen phenomenon was to be shown on January 17th.

Competition and Editorial Notes

The newsletter announces a competition for a new name for "UFO-Nytt," as the current name is considered outdated. The deadline for suggestions is January 5, 2009. The newsletter concludes with a note that the articles do not necessarily reflect NETI's official views and that the author is responsible for the material. Editor Kjell Arne Høviskeland thanks those who assisted with the newsletter.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "UFO-Nytt" consistently explores the topic of alien abductions, detailing specific cases and the research conducted by prominent figures in the field. It presents a detailed, albeit speculative, account of the Zeta Reticulans, their physiology, culture, and alleged motives. The publication also highlights the ongoing investigation into the Hessdalen phenomenon, suggesting a connection to a broader shift in understanding reality and the universe. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting research and case studies without necessarily endorsing them as absolute fact, while acknowledging the credibility of witnesses and researchers.
