UFO - 1983 No 5

Magazine Overview

This issue of "UFO" magazine, published by UFO-NORGE, is the fifth issue of its second volume from 1983. The magazine is dedicated to the registration and study of UFO phenomena and providing information to its members and the public. It operates independently and covers UFO events and research.

Cover Story: UFO Landing in England Officially Confirmed!

The main cover story, "UFO-LANDING I ENGLAND ER OFFISELT BEKREFTET!" (UFO Landing in England Officially Confirmed!), details a highly secret report from Colonel Charles I. Halt that reveals the facts of a mysterious event. The incident occurred on December 27, 1980, in a forest near the United States Air Force base at Woodbridge in Suffolk, England. The report, marked "Uforklart Lys" (Unexplained Light), describes a red, luminous, disc-shaped object landing. Eyewitnesses, including USAF security police, reported seeing a metallic, triangulated object, approximately three meters in diameter at its base and two meters high, emitting a white light. The object was described as hovering or resting on legs and then maneuvering away silently. Animals in a nearby farm reportedly became agitated.

Art Wallace's Account

USAF flight soldier Art Wallace, whose name was changed for security reasons, provided a detailed account. He was on duty near RAF Bentwaters when his convoy was directed towards Tangham Wood. After being ordered to hand over his weapons, he entered the forest with others. He described seeing bright lights and a US soldier being treated who appeared to have collapsed. The clearing was filled with security personnel, film cameras, and helicopters. Wallace saw an object on the ground that looked like a large, transparent aspirin tablet. He described it as having a triangular shape, covered with pipes and vents, about 7 meters wide at the bottom and 4-5 meters high. He noted it emitted a metallic, bluish light and had no visible windows. Security personnel moved with the shadows of the object, which was a disorienting experience. He also witnessed a green light on top of the object that moved down its side and then bounced off their shadows like a ball. Wallace stated that he saw three beings in silver suits onboard, though he couldn't see them directly because he was on the wrong side of the craft. He felt a sense of disorientation and nearly fainted.

The Cover-Up

Wallace's account suggests a significant cover-up. He was told that the incident was classified as top secret and that anyone who spoke about it would not be believed. He also experienced difficulties finding employment after leaving the Air Force, as his service records seemed to have disappeared. Another eyewitness, John Burroughs, also found his records nonexistent. Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt, who wrote the official report, was also given strict orders to remain silent, stating that he could jeopardize his career by speaking about it. The magazine suggests that the incident was part of a larger conspiracy to hide the truth about UFOs.

Official Reactions and Investigations

When approached by "News of the World," the Ministry of Defence in London declined to comment, stating it was a matter for the USAF. However, a USAF spokesman at Mildenhall confirmed that reports were with the Ministry of Defence. UFO investigators Brenda Cutler and Dorothy Street from Suffolk contacted UFO expert Larry Fawcett in the USA, who obtained a copy of Halt's report. Fawcett, a police lieutenant and deputy leader of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, stated his certainty that a UFO had landed and that Art Wallace's testimony was credible, with corroborating evidence. He believes that both British and American military forces know much more than they reveal.

Similar Sightings and Analysis

The article notes similarities between the description of the object in Suffolk and two Norwegian observations: one in Hessdalen by August Holen, who described three objects like "large candy lumps with indescribably beautiful red color that sparkled in the sun," and another from Hvam in Skedsmo. The magazine highlights several key points from the Suffolk incident: the large number of military and civilian witnesses, the ground traces that emitted radiation, and the fact that the UFOs seemed to be expected, with film cameras and helicopters present. It also mentions that soldiers were disarmed, raising questions about special military protocols.

Article II: New Information!

This section, "NYE OPPLYSNINGER!" (New Information!), includes sub-sections like "THE MAN WHO DID NOT EXIST" and "THE HORRIFIC CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL THE TRUTH." It reiterates that Art Wallace, the key witness whose testimony broke the official silence, was later unable to prove his own existence in the Air Force. The article suggests a deliberate effort to erase his identity. A former high-ranking official from the Ministry of Defence supported "News of the World's" demand for an end to the cover-up, stating that the Ministry knew much more than it was willing to disclose and that the public had a right to know what happened in the British forest.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the theme of government secrecy and cover-ups surrounding UFO phenomena. The editorial stance is critical of official obfuscation and supportive of the efforts of UFO researchers and journalists to uncover the truth. The magazine presents the Suffolk landing as a significant, officially confirmed event that was deliberately suppressed. There is a clear belief in the reality of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial visitors, coupled with a distrust of military and governmental authorities. The publication aims to inform the public and encourage further investigation and discussion of these events.

This issue of HÅP, dated 1983, focuses heavily on UFO phenomena, featuring a cover headline 'UFO-skissene som ble tatt!' (UFO sketches that were taken!) and detailing various sightings and incidents. The magazine explores alleged government cover-ups, scientific theories about extraterrestrial life, and specific cases like the Roswell incident and the Hessdalen phenomenon.

The Roswell Incident: A Deep Dive

The article 'HVA SKJEDDE VED ROSWELL?' by Hilary Evans, translated by Frank Lie, meticulously reconstructs the events surrounding the alleged UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. It highlights the difficulty in verifying such events due to the lack of organized UFO research at the time and the subsequent official denials. The account details the initial report by farmer Mac Brazel, who found strange metallic debris on his land, and the subsequent military involvement, including the collection of evidence and the issuance of a press release by the 509th Bomb Group that initially confirmed the recovery of a 'flying disc'. This was quickly retracted by General Ramey, who claimed it was a weather balloon. The article emphasizes the inconsistencies in the official explanation and the military's swift action to suppress information, suggesting a deliberate cover-up, especially in the context of post-WWII paranoia about Soviet threats. It also mentions the discovery of alleged alien bodies and the unique characteristics of the recovered material, which differed from a standard weather balloon.

Witness Accounts of UFO Sightings

Several eyewitness accounts are presented. Graham Herring, a radio enthusiast, describes seeing two large, cigar-shaped objects hovering for half an hour. The Webb family recounts a powerful white light that followed their car and hovered silently before accelerating away. Robert Newstead also reports a similar silent, hovering white light. Engineer Leslie Frost claims to have seen a massive spacecraft in 1980 near Hopton, Norfolk. Another incident details an unmanned 2-motor post plane from Bogota landing in Buenos Aires, with pilot notes mentioning a 'strange and huge flying body'.

Intelligent Control on Saturn's Moons?

An article titled 'INTELLIGENT STYRING?' discusses the possibility of 'UFO bases' on Saturn's moons. Physicist Hans Klinger suggests that moons like Mimas and Lapetus, and newly discovered ones S-13, S-14, and S-15, might be artificial satellites or bases produced by intelligent beings. He points to their unusual orbital paths, which defy natural laws and would normally lead to collisions. Bradford Smith from JPL and Dr. René Lefevbre from L'observatoire de Paris agree that these discoveries are highly remarkable and support the theory of intelligent design. The article speculates that these artificial moons could stabilize Saturn's rings and prevent them from dispersing.

The Hessdalen Phenomenon and Earthquakes

'HESSDALEN' by L. Havik discusses ongoing UFO observations in the Hessdalen valley in Norway, noting a decrease in frequency. It also explores a potential link between UFOs and geophysical activities, such as earthquakes. The article mentions that researchers have managed to induce flying light phenomena in labs by subjecting quartz to extreme pressure. It highlights Hessdalen's geological complexity, rich in minerals like quartz, and the ongoing efforts to study seismic activity and potential piezoelectric energy release. The text notes that several earthquakes have occurred globally, including in Sweden, Turkey, China, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland, suggesting a larger planetary movement.

UFOs and Science: The Drake Equation

Sivilingeniør Hans Kr. Moe's article 'UFO OG VITENSKAPEN' (UFO AND SCIENCE), part 4, delves into the question of intelligent life in the universe. It introduces the Drake equation, formulated by astronomer Frank Drake, which attempts to estimate the number of communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way. The equation considers factors such as the number of stars, planets with habitable zones, the emergence of life, the development of intelligence, and the lifespan of technological civilizations. The article also touches upon the concept of panspermia, the theory that life originated elsewhere and was spread through space, and mentions the discovery of amino acids in meteorites as potential evidence for extraterrestrial organic compounds.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently questions official explanations for UFO phenomena, highlighting alleged government secrecy and cover-ups, particularly in the context of the Roswell incident. There's a strong undercurrent of belief in the reality of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, supported by witness testimonies and scientific speculation. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, seeking to uncover hidden truths and challenge conventional narratives, while also engaging with scientific theories about life in the universe. The publication aims to inform its readers about ongoing UFO research and related mysteries.

This issue of "Psychics & Mystics '83" focuses on the exhibition of the same name held in London on September 3rd and 4th, 1983. It also delves into scientific hypotheses about the origin of life and extraterrestrial civilizations.

Scientific Hypotheses on Life's Origin

The magazine begins by discussing the discovery of amino acids in meteorites, noting that non-protein-based amino acids are not found on Earth and suggesting an extraterrestrial origin. The even distribution of these acids in meteorites rules out contamination in Earth's atmosphere. The presence of both left-handed and right-handed amino acids in discovered chondrites, unlike Earth's predominantly left-handed systems, further points to an extraterrestrial origin, suggesting that the building blocks of life may have been brought to Earth via meteorites.

The Panspermia Hypothesis

A significant portion of the article explores the hypothesis proposed by Nobel laureate Francis Crick and his colleague Leslie Orgel. They suggest that an advanced extraterrestrial civilization might have seeded Earth with the first living organisms, approximately three billion years ago. This idea stems from the understanding that highly developed spacefaring cultures would naturally pursue such projects. The hypothesis was discussed at a 1971 congress in Armenia, which included a meeting of Soviet and American academies.

The article delves into calculations based on the Drake equation, estimating the number of advanced technical civilizations in our galaxy and the universe. It posits that if life can arise on planets with suitable ecological conditions, and considering the time it takes for life to develop technology capable of interstellar travel (estimated at three billion years), then numerous planets could have had sufficient time to develop such capabilities.

It is estimated that 99% of technologically developed civilizations might self-destruct early on. However, for those that survive, the potential for longevity is high. The calculations suggest that there could be approximately 1.3 x 10^7 (13 million) advanced technical civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. Extrapolating to the entire universe, with an estimated 100 billion galaxies, and assuming one-third are life-supporting like the Milky Way, the number of worlds with similar or higher technical development could be around 4.3 x 10^17 (430 million billion).

Review of "Psychics & Mystics '83" Exhibition

The bulk of the magazine is dedicated to a review of the "Psychics & Mystics '83" exhibition held at the Cunard International Hotel in London. The event was a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and an exhibition.

Exhibition Highlights

The exhibition featured numerous psychics and fortune-tellers demonstrating their skills. Some offered private readings in a back room, while others operated on a smaller, more amateur basis.

Several organizations had stands at the exhibition. The Aetherius Society had the largest stand and attracted the most visitors. Their founder and 'medium', Dr. King, presented a lecture titled "IFO's: Identified Flying Objects," asserting that these objects were from Venus and the Moon. The author engaged in a discussion with a representative from this society, who maintained that Dr. King was correct.

The Rosicrucian Order also had a presence, distributing the book "Mastery of Life" and the "Rosicrucian Digest." Despite their potentially larger scale compared to The Aetherius Society, their stand was not as prominent.

Lectures and Demonstrations

The lecture program included talks on various topics:

• White Magic by Elizabeth St. George
• Healing & Psychic Ability by Ivy Lea Turner
• Meditation: The Art of Living by Raja Yoga Centre

Notable Observations

During the Aetherius Society's lecture, the author observed an unusual phenomenon: a yellow light that seemed to surround the speaker, changing shape. While initially thought to be a spotlight, others described seeing an aura, suggesting it was a paranormal event.

Another lecture by Ivy Lea Turner, demonstrating psychic abilities, was described as nervous, with only one audience member confirming her abilities.

Future Events

The magazine also announced future events, including the "Psychics & Mystics Fayre" in Brighton (October 1st-2nd) and Birmingham (May 5th-7th, 1984).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue reflects a strong interest in UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial life, and related scientific and pseudoscientific theories. The review of the "Psychics & Mystics '83" exhibition suggests an editorial stance that is open to exploring paranormal topics and alternative explanations for unexplained phenomena, while also presenting scientific hypotheses. The inclusion of detailed event schedules and contact information indicates an effort to engage readers with the subject matter and encourage participation in related activities.

This issue of "PRESSEKLIPP" (Press Clippings) from 1983, identified as issue number 29 and volume 29, compiles various news reports related to UFO phenomena, astronomical discoveries, and related mysteries. The cover story, "'Metallbiten fra Feiring kom fra en komet' - sier Anna E. Westerlund" (The Metal Fragment from Feiring Came from a Comet - says Anna E. Westerlund), highlights a specific case investigated by a psychic.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

The magazine features several reports of UFO sightings and related incidents:

• Arne Wisth's Experiences: Freelance journalist Arne Wisth, author of "UFO-mysteri-et i Hessdalen" (The UFO Mystery in Hessdalen), reports being pursued by UFOs in Holmlia, Oslo. He mentions observing UFOs three times and notes that activity in Hessdalen continues, with a recent sighting of a large, sickle-shaped object observed by many people.
• Washington UFO Group Lawsuit: VG reports that a UFO group in Washington, led by Larry Bryant, is suing the US government to obtain information on crashed UFOs and humanoids allegedly held in military institutions. The report cites a March 22, 1950, government memo stating that three 'flying saucers' were discovered in New Mexico, each with three human-like occupants about three feet tall, dressed in metallic clothing.
• Andøya Myr Phenomenon: Harstad Tidende reports on the unresolved 'myrflak' (bog flake) phenomenon on Andøya, where a large section of bog was moved. Experts have not yet examined the site.
• Metz Incident: A 45-year-old Frenchman living near Metz, Stefan Gasparovic, claims to have been abducted by an unknown aircraft on Sunday, November 17th, and flown for several kilometers. He describes the object as a fireball and its occupants as small, fat beings with pointed ears.
• Porsgrunn Sighting: A woman in Porsgrunn reported seeing a cigar-shaped object moving across the sky.
• Moland Crop Circle: Agderposten reports on a strange, square imprint with an oval ring found in a garden in Moland, left by a suspected UFO.
• Holt UFO Encounter: A woman from Holt reported a close encounter with a small, round, flat object emitting violet and blue flames just outside her bedroom window.
• Värmland Alien Encounters: An interview with UFO enthusiast Carl-Gustav Porath from Stockholm discusses alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings in Värmland, Sweden. Porath claims to have met beings from nine different races, describing them as having dark hair, blue eyes, and light skin, and greeting by raising their left hand to their left shoulder.
• Rømskog UFO: A woman in Rømskog reported a humming, disc-shaped object hovering low over a field on September 17th, emitting light before ascending and disappearing.
• Australian UFO Nest: In Australia, a farmer named George Pedley reported seeing a disc-shaped object rise from a swampy area near Tully, Queensland, leaving a circular flattened crop field. Later, three round, rotating UFOs reportedly landed in the same area, leaving similar 'UFO nests'. Attempts to document this with a film camera were reportedly thwarted by government intervention.

The Metal Fragment from Feiring

The article details the investigation of a metal fragment found in Feiring, Norway, on June 4, 1981. The fragment, weighing 40g, was found in a hole and was hot to the touch. Initial analysis at the Geological Museum in Oslo suggested it was not a meteorite due to its high lead content. Further analysis at NTH did not find lead but indicated it was likely an iron meteorite. However, geologist M. Heim argued it was a metal or steel fragment, not a meteorite, based on its elemental composition. The article also describes a meeting with psychic Anna Elizabeth Westerlund, who, using her psychometric abilities, provided details about the fragment's origin, suggesting it was part of a comet's tail.

New Discoveries in the Universe (IRAS Satellite)

Knut Aasheim reports on the IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) mission, launched in January 1983. This advanced satellite, a collaboration between the Netherlands, Great Britain, and the USA, carries a 1076kg infrared telescope and orbits at 900 km altitude. Its purpose is to map infrared sources in the universe.

• New Solar System: IRAS data suggests the discovery of a new solar system around the star Vega, with objects that could be planets. These potential planets are extremely cold, near absolute zero.
• Dust Rings and Mini-Planet: NASA reports the discovery of three giant dust rings in the asteroid belt and a 'mini-planet' closer to the Sun than Mercury. The dust rings are described as extremely stable and symmetrical, defying known physical laws.
• Meteorite Composition: Five chemical components found in meteorites, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, have been discovered, increasing the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
• Potential Tenth Planet: IRAS is also tasked with searching for a tenth planet in our solar system beyond Pluto. The article mentions previous theories about a planet called Vulcan within Mercury's orbit and a destroyed planet called Phaeton, whose remnants form the asteroid belt.

Crop Circles and UFOs

The magazine revisits the topic of crop circles, noting that three circles were found in the same field near Westbury, UK, two years prior to the August 1981 findings. The article highlights that the circles in England have the vegetation pressed clockwise, while those found in Australia were pressed counter-clockwise. The locations of the UK circles (Winchester, Westbury, Wantage) form an equilateral triangle and are within the 'Warminster triangle', a known UFO hotspot.

Editorial Stance and Recurring Themes

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, evidence of extraterrestrial activity, and new astronomical discoveries. The magazine presents a range of perspectives, from journalistic reports and scientific findings to accounts from psychics and UFO enthusiasts. There is a clear interest in documenting unexplained phenomena and exploring the possibility of life beyond Earth. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various claims and evidence for the reader to consider, while also acknowledging the skepticism and potential for government cover-ups. The concluding comment, "Det er meget nedslående å leve i en tid da det er lettere å sprenge et atom enn en fordom" (It is very disheartening to live in a time when it is easier to split an atom than a prejudice), suggests a frustration with the slow acceptance of unconventional ideas, particularly concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

Title: Dagslysobservasjon i Frogner.
Issue Identifier: 005. 831018
Date: October 18, 1983
Publisher: UFO-Norge
Country of Publication: Norway
Original Language: Norwegian

This issue of UFO-Norge features a detailed account of a daylight UFO sighting that occurred in Frogner, Norway, on Tuesday morning, October 18, 1983. The report is based on the testimony of an eyewitness, Elbjørg Fjeldberg, who is described as having high credibility.

Daylight Observation in Frogner

The eyewitness, a young woman who wishes to remain anonymous, was driving to work on a clear, blue morning with the Moon high in the west. Around 09:50, just past Frogner bridge in Skedsmo, she spotted a peculiar object to the right and below the Moon. She described the object as resembling a half-smoked cigar, blunt at the front and sloping slightly backward. Its body was entirely white with a black marking at the front. Initially, she thought it might be a cigarette with ash. The object moved in a diagonal flight path at a speed greater than that of a small plane.

She stopped the car to observe the object more closely. It continued its diagonal descent towards Heksebergfjellet. The witness noted that the distance to the object was not great. The object then disappeared behind Heksebergfjellet in a northwesterly direction. The total observation time was approximately 30 seconds.

The report also references the Luftforsvarets radarstasjon (Air Force radar station) on Måkerøy, which reported a passenger plane departing from Fornebu at 10:00 with a northerly direction. However, the witness maintained that the object could not have been a plane, and the angle of observation made this unlikely. The witness is known to several people within UFO-Norge's leadership, reinforcing her reliability.

Follow-up Sighting in Setskog

A postscript (PS) notes that the day after this observation, a similar oblong, flying, and luminous object was seen over Setskog, located in Akershus near the Swedish border. This suggests a potential pattern of sightings in the region.
