Content Highlights

William's Encounter and Examination

The issue details a series of events experienced by a man named William, a leather shop owner. Through hypnotic regression, William recounts an encounter with two beings, a man and a woman, who entered his shop. The woman is described with striking features: brown hair, protruding cheekbones, a wide mouth, narrow nostrils, no eyebrows or eyelashes, very round, light yellow eyes, and a small circle within a larger circle. Her hair is described as wig-like and wavy. William identifies her as a woman based on her appearance and feminine characteristics. The beings then lead him to a back room. During the session, William describes a cold sensation and an examination involving a device resembling a hand massage apparatus. He feels a sense of coldness and describes the woman's skin as milky white and translucent, with perfectly round breasts and no body hair. He also notes a strong, sharp odor associated with sexual desire emanating from the woman. William speculates that these beings are testing humans to help their own kind, suggesting their people are aging and have lost the will to resist 'evil violence.' He describes the woman as feeling like a cold marble statue but confirms she was alive. He states they are from another world. The encounter is placed in time, with William recalling being dressed and leaving the shop at 6:50 PM, having been in the leather shop for 1 hour and 40 minutes. He also notes a time loss of 1 hour and 20 minutes. A later part of the session revisits the encounter, with William being dressed and the man and woman present again. He describes a 'leather table' and a 'three-part' object resembling an oversized attaché case with bubbles. His clothes are removed, and he is instructed to lie down. He describes his clothes being removed and a 'bubble'-like substance. His body is then described as being made of lines, and he feels like he is 'in the lines' and not 'together.' He also mentions a 'light-like X-ray machine' and his own image appearing as 'liquid blood,' which is light, then green, then purple.

Jason Najarak's UFO Sighting

Another significant report details an event experienced by Jason Najarak in Okeley, Minnesota, on July 31, 2000, at 00:02. While driving, Najarak observed a blue shifting light on the road and trees. He initially mistook it for a large jeep with many lights. As the object descended, he noticed its unusual brightness and the lack of reflection on the road or trees, only a faint blue shimmer. The object covered the entire width of the road and moved slowly. He realized it was a UFO. He parked his car and observed the object, which was about 90 meters away and intensely bright. He noted that there was no visible undercarriage, only a blue circle of light reflected on the ground. He describes a burning sensation on his arm and a triangular mark that remained for three months. The report also lists several other incidents witnessed by Najarak or his neighbor between August and December 2000, including a red point moving through a house, a round disc with lights, trees bending unnaturally, golden discs flying in formation, a red ball of light, a bright light inside a house with no footprints, and a large glowing ball of light ascending into the sky.

Other Articles and Features

There is a brief mention of Dr. James McConnel's experiments with rats involving cannibalism and learning to avoid light, presented as a comparison to potential extraterrestrial behavior. The issue also includes a drawing depicting a UFO beam abducting a person, with a rocket in the background. A humorous anecdote titled "Stämningsfullt?" by Bo Grapenskog from Växjö is included, about a piano tuner and a child's comment. Finally, a quiz titled "TIPS TOLVAN" presents 12 general knowledge questions, with a call for submissions to the Västerbergslagens UFO-förening, promising lottery tickets as prizes. The solution to the quiz is promised in issue 1 of 2006.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, alien encounters, and unexplained phenomena.

This issue of "MODER NATURS MYSTERIUM." (Modern Nature's Mystery), identified as issue number 20 and volume 21, with a publication date around June 1980, explores a range of unexplained phenomena. The cover headline, "LEVANDE RYMDVARELSER." (Living Space Beings), signals a strong focus on UFOs and potential extraterrestrial encounters. The magazine appears to be published in Sweden, as indicated by the language and specific Swedish locations mentioned.

Moder Naturs Mysterium.

The lead article addresses the enduring mystery of cattle mutilations, which had been a subject of fascination for over five years. It notes that explanations have ranged from atmospheric worship to UFOs. A researcher for the federal government presented findings on these events, suggesting a mysterious aspect. Kennet M. Rommel is quoted stating that the mutilations resemble the work of natural predators, scavengers, and decay, but also hints at a symbolic meaning related to larger phenomena, with Mother Nature acting as the greatest environmental guardian. A full report was expected in June 1980.

Levande Rymdvarelser (Living Space Beings)

This section details an international UFO reporter's investigation into a case in a suburban area of Chicago. On August 29th around 10:00 PM, a 47-year-old housewife reported seeing a giant, mothership-like UFO through her living room window. She described it as being as large as a three-story house, completely illuminating the sky. Through the luminous craft, she observed four 1-meter tall alien beings. The UFO reportedly hovered for 45 minutes, filling the sky from treetop level. The witness's two college-aged children also saw the beings performing 'ridiculous tricks' in front of the house, though they were not frightened. The report adds that the loud humming and roaring sound of the UFO was not noticed by people on the street. The witness described the entire experience as being like a "cartoon film." The account of Dr. J. Allan Hynek and Allan Hendry, who found the woman's story credible, is also mentioned.

Flammande Apelsin (Flaming Orange)

This article recounts an incident on January 24, 1980, near Kake, Alaska. An unidentified flying object, described as a flaming orange sphere, hovered near the town for 15 minutes. Marvin Kadake, the mayor, and others were the first to spot it. The object moved at rocket speed before slowing down and hovering over the town. It was described as having a flaming top and resembling a flying saucer. Kadake noted its ability to accelerate and decelerate rapidly.

Hög Som Trädtoppar (As High As Tree Tops)

On the night of January 15th, Gladys Owen reported a terrible booming sound and bright light to her husband, Walter Owen, a fireman at Dulles Airport. The radar tower reported a shock that disrupted their radar. Mrs. Owen described a strong gust of wind and three rare, hovering lights that moved across the sky, one moving towards their house and two towards Route 28. The lights were described as alternately bright and dim, about half to three-quarters the size of the moon, and at treetop height. One light reportedly flew into the trees or crash-landed. The family was terrified to go outside due to a powerful shockwave.

Fosterälskande Ljus (Foster-Loving Light)

This brief report mentions eight people in Nevada City, NEV, who observed a mysterious colored flying object. They described it as red and white lights with blue, hovering and moving quickly. The light was seen at an altitude of 300-600 meters above the ground.

Blå Cigarr (Blue Cigar)

Since early 1980, residents along Greenland's west coast have reported sightings of glowing objects. Observations include double flying objects and oval craft with portholes. Over 100 people have witnessed these phenomena. One sighting described a blue cigar-shaped object moving up and down and changing shape before disappearing at high speed.

Obefintliga Jordmän (Non-Existent Earthlings)

This article discusses a predicted event where four 'earthlings' were supposed to return from Jupiter on March 5th, accompanied by UFO logician Edilico Barbosa. However, the UFO did not appear. Despite the absence of the spacecraft, 10,000 people had gathered, believing the individuals would arrive by bus to a remote landing site. The four individuals were described as a Canadian, a Dutchman, an Argentinian, and a Brazilian. Alcimar Salimoes was one of the witnesses interviewed by United Press International.

Krater Gåtan Växer (Crater Mystery Grows)

This section, written by Börje Lundberg, revisits the mystery of a large crater found in the ice of Vikmanshyttesjön. It reveals that a nearly identical crater occurred in Lake Upprämmen in Dalarna, Sweden, in 1968. The Upprämmen crater was 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, with a meter of ice. The military, led by Supreme Commander Torsten Rapp, investigated the phenomenon. Divers, geologists, and Geiger counters were involved, and the area was cordoned off. Divers found no evidence of a crashed satellite or airplane. They did note an unusual thin crust on the mud at the lake bottom. Samples were taken but provided no explanation. Geologists suggested a meteorite impact from the east, but no light or impact sound was reported. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) proposed a theory of air under the ice due to a sudden temperature change, but this was considered a desk-based construction. The mystery remained unsolved, with amateur divers planning new attempts using GPS equipment.

Okodade Ufon på TV (Uncoded UFOs on TV)

This article announces a TV special on Swedish UFO sightings. Sci-Fi Channel was preparing to broadcast a documentary series called "Earthscan," featuring a "Sweden Special." The report highlights several witness testimonies, including Anita Pettersson from Södertälje, who saw a light ball hovering over her house, described as having a strange metallic underside. Brothers Staffan and Peter Juvall, along with Mikael Söderblom, reported following a disc-shaped object over Järlasjön for 20 minutes, describing it as metallic with a domed underside. Hans Augustsson and Aulis Lahtinen in Brandstorp saw a black delta-shaped object diving at high speed. Viola Granström and Karin Magnfält observed a disc-shaped silver craft near Malmbäck. Clas Svahn from UFO-Sverige was involved in 17 interviews for the series. UFO-Sverige had received 2,119 reports of UFOs in the 1990s. Broadcast times for "Earthscan Special" were provided for April 25th, 26th, and 27th.

Från Vulkan Till Atoll (From Volcano to Atoll)

This illustrated section explains the geological process of island formation and erosion leading to atolls. It describes three types of coral reefs: atolls, fringing reefs, and barrier reefs, noting the Great Barrier Reef as an example visible from the moon.

Jordens Inre Blottas i Sibirien (Earth's Interior Exposed in Siberia)

This article discusses a large lava field in Siberia, estimated to contain two million cubic kilometers of lava. Geologists previously believed this lava originated from the upper mantle, but new research suggests it comes from much deeper layers. The lava's high concentration of Helium-3, a rare isotope, indicates it originated from 2,900 kilometers deep, possibly from the Earth's formation. The presence of osmium 187, related to platinum, suggests that large quantities of platinum might be found deep within the Earth's interior, potentially making Siberian platinum extraction possible in the future.

Galaxen Bär en Svart Hemlighet (The Galaxy Carries a Black Secret)

A brief note mentions that almost every galaxy may contain a supermassive black hole. A recent theory presented by astronomers suggests the mass of a black hole is proportional to the mass of its host galaxy.

Var på Jorden Regnar Det Minst? (Where on Earth Rains the Least?)

This short piece identifies Arica, Chile, as the driest place on Earth, receiving less than a millimeter of rain annually. The global average rainfall is approximately 86 centimeters per year.
