Title: UFO Rapport
Issue: Number 4
Date: December 1995
Price: 65 kr
This issue of UFO Rapport, a Swedish magazine dedicated to UFOs and unexplained phenomena, presents a diverse range of articles, interviews, and reports. The cover prominently features the headline "UFO-Sverige stal mitt livsverk!" (UFO-Sweden stole my life's work!), hinting at a major story about the founder of a prominent UFO organization.
Carl-Axel Jonzon: UFO-Sverige Stole My Life's Work!
The lead article is an extensive interview with Carl-Axel Jonzon (CAJ), the founder of UFO-Sverige, the largest UFO organization in the Nordic region, which he started 25 years prior. CAJ expresses deep disappointment and bitterness towards the current leadership, particularly Clas Svahn, whom he accuses of running an "anti-UFO organization" that spreads lies and hinders genuine research. He recounts his pioneering efforts in establishing UFO-Sverige, investing 200,000 SEK of his own money, and laments how an "inner circle" allegedly ousted him. CAJ criticizes the current organization for being "parasitic" and driven by subsidies rather than a passion for UFO research. He also shares his first UFO sighting in 1934 at the age of seven, describing a craft and six beings. The article details his departure from UFO-Sverige in 1980 and his subsequent actions, including burning his personal documents related to his tenure.
Naval Mysteries: Submarine Visits Are Still a Mystery
This section discusses the phenomenon of Unidentified Submarine Objects (USOs) and their connection to UFOs. Naval Director Kent Öberg is interviewed about his book "Fantomubåtarna" (Phantom Submarines). While Öberg acknowledges that the Swedish Navy has detected unexplained underwater phenomena, he dismisses the idea of USOs as a direct extension of UFOs. He confirms that the Navy has detected numerous objects and that the issue remains a mystery, despite FOA's (Swedish Defence Research Agency) controversial "mink theory" to explain submarine incursions. Öberg states that the Navy would not engage in cover-ups like SÄPO (Swedish Security Service) allegedly did with UFO photos.
Knut Aasheim: Star People Walk Among Us
Knut Aasheim, a Norwegian ufologist and author, presents his theory about "Star People" – extraterrestrial beings who incarnate on Earth. His book, "STJERNEFOLKET BLANDT OSS" (Star People Among Us), is aimed not just at UFO enthusiasts but at these "Star People" themselves, who may have forgotten their origins. Aasheim claims that millions of spaceships orbit Earth, invisible to us in a different dimension. He describes "Star People" as having specific characteristics like unusual blood types or a need for little sleep. The article also touches upon other types of non-human entities like "Walk-Ins" and "Star Seeds." Aasheim believes that these beings are here to help humanity evolve and that many are working in roles such as teachers and therapists.
UFO on Öland: Unknown Force Disabled Tractor
This report details a mysterious incident on the island of Öland, Sweden, where farmer Egon Erlandsson discovered eight crop circles in October 1994. The circles, each 5.40 meters in diameter, were accompanied by unusual events. When Erlandsson drove his tractor over the area, the vehicle experienced severe malfunctions, including engine failure and broken components. The report notes that the location was remote and that similar electromagnetic effects have been associated with UFO phenomena. Journalists Peter Boström and Ola Klippvik documented the circles and also experienced equipment failures.
New Books
This section reviews "DÄR ÄNGLAR GÅR" (Where Angels Walk) by Joan Wester Anderson, which explores accounts of angelic interventions in human lives, drawing parallels to UFO encounters. It also mentions a model of the alleged secret S4 base UFO from Nevada, available through Hobbex.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently promotes a critical stance against what it perceives as cover-ups and debunking efforts by official organizations like FOA and the current leadership of UFO-Sverige. There's a strong emphasis on firsthand accounts and personal experiences, particularly from figures like Carl-Axel Jonzon and Knut Aasheim, who champion the reality of UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for open investigation and belief in the unexplained, contrasting with what the magazine portrays as a suppression of information by authorities and mainstream UFO organizations.
Title: UFO-Rapport
Issue: 1/1996
Date: January 1996
Publisher: Not specified
Country: Sweden
Language: Swedish
This issue of UFO-Rapport delves into a variety of paranormal and extraterrestrial phenomena, with a strong focus on Swedish contactee Sten Lindgren and his alleged interactions with alien beings. The magazine also explores historical accounts of advanced technology and potential ancient warfare, as well as contemporary mysteries like unexplained lights and cattle mutilations.
SANNINGEN FINNS DÄRUTE... (The Truth is Out There...)
The cover story, "SANNINGEN FINNS DÄRUTE...", poses the question of whether the truth about UFOs is out there or if it's merely folklore, referencing the work of folklorist Bengt af Klintberg. The article contrasts the descriptions of 'tomtar' (gnomes) with those of extraterrestrials ('ET'), noting similarities in physical descriptions and behaviors such as abduction and causing memory loss.
Tomten (The Gnome)
Described as human-like with large eyes, a large head, a slender body, and long fingers, the gnome is said to wear a conical hat and tight-fitting clothing. Its size is estimated between 120-130 cm. Gnomes were said to appear at night, abduct people and animals, lead people astray, and could paralyze and cause memory loss. They were believed to originate from underground or 'other worlds'.
ET (Extraterrestrial)
Similar to the gnome description, ETs are depicted as humanoids with large eyes, large heads, slender bodies, and long fingers. They wear tight-fitting overalls and can become invisible. Their color is often described as grey, but can also be green. Their size varies from 100-130 cm to 2.5-3 meters, and they have sometimes been described as 'animalistic' or resembling praying mantises or gorillas. ETs are said to appear at night, abduct people and animals, cause memory loss, and paralyze individuals. They are believed to come from other planets or worlds and have always existed among us.
SPÖKLJUSET (The Ghost Light)
This section explores the phenomenon of unexplained lights, particularly the "Brown Mountain Lights" in North Carolina, USA, observed since around 1850. These lights, often red or yellowish-white, were seen hovering over a plateau. Investigations in the early 20th century initially attributed them to locomotive headlights or swamp gas, but later reports questioned these explanations due to the lights' long history predating modern technology.
The article also discusses similar phenomena in the "tri-state area" of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, which has become a tourist attraction. The lights are sometimes explained as reflections from car headlights in fog, but their appearance before cars and their ability to move directly towards observers remain puzzling.
A notable case is the "Spooksville" attraction, where lights are regularly observed. Another significant location is Wet Mountain Valley in Colorado, known for its traditional ghost sightings near an abandoned graveyard. The lights here are described as blue and are observed hovering over graves.
Several theories are presented for these lights, including locomotive headlights, car headlights, reflections, swamp gas, and even electromagnetic phenomena. The article cites "Ghost Lights over America" by Fawcett (1989) as a source.
ATOMBOMBEN ÄR 8000 ÅR (The Atomic Bomb is 8000 Years Old)
This article presents a controversial theory suggesting that advanced civilizations in ancient India possessed technology equivalent to modern nuclear weapons. It references ancient Indian scriptures like the Mahabharata and Puranas, which allegedly describe weapons capable of causing mass destruction, mushroom-shaped clouds, and effects similar to nuclear fallout, such as hair loss and the need to wash in water.
Dr. Robert Oppenheimer's statement about the Alamogordo bomb being the first "in modern times" is cited as a potential hint towards ancient atomic devices. The text details descriptions of a devastating weapon called 'mohanastra' and a 'mist machine' from the Mahabharata. It also mentions 'vimanas', or flying machines, described in detail in ancient texts, with specifications for their construction and propulsion systems, including the use of mercury.
The article suggests that evidence of ancient nuclear warfare might exist in archaeological sites, citing a glass-like surface found in Iraq that resembled the landscape after the Alamogordo test. Skeletal remains in the Indus Valley cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro are also mentioned as being highly radioactive, predating the Hiroshima bombing.
Ancient Indian texts also contain warnings about the destructive potential of these weapons, comparing them to a "death scepter" that could annihilate the earth. The article concludes by hoping that modern military leaders will show the same wisdom as ancient Indian kings who reportedly ordered the destruction of such powerful weapons.
DE MYSTISKA STYMPARNA (The Mystical Mutilators)
This investigative piece explores the phenomenon of cattle mutilations occurring worldwide. The article presents a theory by a trio: Bill Jackson (reporter), Gerald Erianne (private detective), and Bill Hendrix (TV reporter). They propose that these mutilations are not the work of aliens, but rather a secret project by the CIA, with Pentagon support, to develop chemical-biological agents for future warfare.
The theory is based on the fact that chemical-biological warfare, except in self-defense, has been banned in the USA since 1970. However, the article claims that the CIA has continued such research. Evidence cited includes a 1974 Senate committee report on the CIA storing large quantities of mussel poison and the bacterium Clostridia Genus. A 1975 incident involving a mutilated heifer near Denver, where the autopsy report was allegedly classified, further fueled their suspicions.
Gerald Erianne claims that in 1961, scientists met under secrecy at Bethesda to conduct experiments with bacteria, possibly Clostridia Genus. Bill Hendrix reportedly confirmed that a team of scientists conducted illegal bacterial experiments on livestock in Texas and Minnesota.
An expert on poisons, Ken Andersson, finds the theory credible, noting that more cows than bulls are mutilated, suggesting that female animals might be better for laboratory samples. The theory posits that a highly secret team, funded by the CIA and equipped by the Pentagon, uses small helicopters for swift operations.
The article notes that police in Colorado Springs consider the theory plausible, given the state's numerous military bases and secret installations. The high reward offered for solving the mutilation mystery is also mentioned.
INVASION FRÅN HOLLYWOOD! (Invasion from Hollywood!)
This short piece discusses the resurgence of alien-themed movies in Hollywood, citing examples like "Independence Day" (Twentieth Century Fox), "Mars Attacks!" (Warner Bros.), and "Starship Troopers" (Tri Star). It also mentions "Contact," based on Carl Sagan's novel, and other films featuring aliens or space exploration.
INSÄNDARE (Letters to the Editor)
Svar till Boris om ANDLIGT FLUM (Reply to Boris about SPIRITUAL FLUFF)
This letter is a response to a previous article by Boris Jungkvist. The author defends Sten Lindgren's claims of UFO sightings and contact, arguing that Jungkvist's dismissal of these experiences as "spiritual fluff" is overly dismissive and elitist. The author criticizes Jungkvist for his belief that only a few people can handle the truth about UFOs and suggests that the public is capable of accepting such information.
SVAHNSKRYT (Svahn Boasts)
A brief exchange where someone named Mats from Västerås challenges Clas Svahn's claim of 20 years of UFO research, stating that he himself has been researching for 30 years.
Svenska kontaktfall 2: Sten Lindgren (Swedish Contact Cases 2: Sten Lindgren)
This is an in-depth profile of Sten Lindgren, a Swedish contactee who claims extensive experiences with UFOs and extraterrestrials. Lindgren states he has witnessed over 200 alien craft and had physical contact with aliens between 1965 and 1980. He claims to have predicted UFO appearances in Sweden, including a large mothership over Stockholm and a UFO wave on the west coast.
Lindgren's story begins in 1940, with a father who was an amateur astronomer. He describes his first UFO sightings in his youth, including a cigar-shaped craft. He recounts numerous UFO observations and claims his parents also witnessed these phenomena.
A pivotal moment in Lindgren's narrative is his encounter with a "laser woman" in 1963, who he believes was an extraterrestrial sent to initiate contact. He later became involved with the "Cosmic Brotherhood" (CBH), an organization he claims represents extraterrestrials.
Lindgren details a predicted "overflight wave" by CBH in 1965, involving six "Adamski ships" over Stockholm. He also describes a close encounter in 1965 near Nävsjön, where he and others allegedly met an alien in a suit near a landed UFO.
Lindgren claims to receive "transmissions" from CBH in the form of telepathic messages displayed as text on a screen. He describes the aliens as more balanced, harmonious, and humble than humans, viewing humanity as immature.
He lists nine types of UFO craft, including scout discs, cigar-shaped ships, and a "mothership" up to 1000 meters long. Lindgren predicts that CBH will make official contact with humanity within three years, by 1998.
FLYGANDE UTOMJORDISKA OBJEKT ELLER BARA MISSTOLKNINGAR? (Flying Extraterrestrial Objects or Just Misinterpretations?)
This section presents historical illustrations and brief descriptions of alleged flying objects from various periods, questioning whether they were misinterpretations or actual sightings of advanced craft. Examples include a "burning shield" over Italy in 98 AD, a "mothership with satellites" over Italy in 393 AD, a "giant flaming wheel" seen by English farmers in 1387, and a "strange cylinder-shaped object" over Northumberland in 1798.
UBÅTSBESÖKEN.. (Submarine Visits..)
This article, a continuation from a previous issue, discusses alleged submarine incursions in Swedish waters. It mentions an anti-submarine missile being fired at a detected target without success, implying the target was not a conventional submarine. The article notes the presence of Kerstin Fredga, Director General of the Space Agency, on a newly formed government commission investigating these incursions, suggesting a possible connection to the book "Fantomubåtarna" (Phantom Submarines).
CIRKELMYSTERIET.. (The Circle Mystery..)
This piece reports on crop circle phenomena, featuring an account from Christina "Kee" Möller, who experienced unusual events after visiting a crop circle site. Her camera malfunctioned, and her car wouldn't start. She later developed skin rashes, described as a sunburn. The article also includes observations from Gunnar Schelin, who studied UFO phenomena for decades and reported significant UFO activity in Öland in connection with the crop circles, including sightings of cigar-shaped craft.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-Rapport are UFO sightings, alien contact, ancient advanced civilizations and technology, and unexplained phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various theories and personal accounts without necessarily endorsing them as absolute truth, but encouraging readers to consider the possibilities. The magazine seems to lean towards the belief that many of these phenomena are real and not easily dismissed.
