Report News (RAPPORTNYTT)

This section, compiled by Odd-Gunnar Røed, presents recent UFO reports from across Norway. It features four cases accompanied by images. The section emphasizes the importance of readers submitting reports and photographs.

Funnemark in Lunde, Telemark

A report from July 1965 describes an egg-shaped, metallic object with a humming sound observed by an anonymous witness. The object was seen from southeast and disappeared into the treetops. The witness later read in a local newspaper about a hay bale being carried away by a whirlwind, suggesting this might have been the observed phenomenon, as Nesherrad is nearby.

Overview of Sightings (Oversikt over de viktigste observasjonene)

A table lists significant observations recorded between November 15, 1994, and March 1, 1995, including date, time, duration, location, description, and potential identification. Locations include Lunde i Telemark, Veum i S&Fj., Krokelvdalen, Horten, Hovsherad i V-Agd., Garmo, Kvam i Oppland, Gyland, Skåbu i Oppland, Foldereid v/Rørvik, Hundtorp i Oppland, Harpefoss, Grimstad, Kvikne i Hedmark, Oslo, Nord-Østerdalen, and Søgne i Vest-Agder.

Veum near Marifjøra in Sogn and Fjordane

An observation from sometime in 1985 describes a strange light phenomenon coming from the forest, appearing as three separate triangular lights that formed a larger triangle. Three observers witnessed this stationary light phenomenon.

Krokelvdalen in Troms

On March 16, 1985, an observer reported seeing a large, oval object with strong colored lights, described as reflective metallic gray, hanging low over a forest. No sound was heard.

Photography Tips (Forholdsregler for kveldsfotografering)

This section provides advice for photographing nighttime phenomena, including using a tripod, appropriate film sensitivity (ASA/ISO), and standard lenses. It also mentions a photographer in Tønsberg who sells affordable lenses.

Borreåsen near Horten in Vestfold

A photograph taken in the summer of 1987 shows an unknown object over Bastøy ferry. The photographer, Øysten Johnsen, did not see the object when taking the picture, but it appeared upon developing. The object is described as octagonal with three windows and approximately 6x15 meters in size.

Close Encounter of the Third Kind near Hovsherad in Vest-Agder?

In the summer of 1988, an anonymous observer and two companions witnessed colorful lights behind a mountain, followed by a red object approaching rapidly. The object landed on a mountain, and figures emerged from a hatch. The observer felt followed by a similar object days later. UFO-NORGE plans to investigate this case further.

Veikledalen on Kvam in Oppland

On November 20, 1993, Magnar Kvikstad Hagen observed a bright yellow-white light descend into a valley and managed to take a picture with a Polaroid camera. The light moved from north to south.

Åtland near Gyland in Vest-Agder

In February 1994, an anonymous observer and his wife reported seeing a flying object with red lights on each side, moving slowly and following their car. The object then ascended, moved erratically, and disappeared. The observer also noted a faint humming sound.

Hurtigruteskipet "Lofoten"

A photograph sent to UFO-NORGE from April 1994 shows an object taken from the deck of the Hurtigruteskipet "Lofoten". The image was analyzed and found to have chemical emulsion errors causing color distortions, rather than being a clear depiction of a UFO.

Espedalen near Skåbu in Oppland

On July 21, 1994, an observer reported seeing a bright, half-moon-like yellow-orange sphere with a glowing halo ascend from a mountain. The object moved erratically and then 'exploded' into the air.

Foldereid near Rørvik

On July 31, 1994, three unusual 'imprints' were discovered on a field. These were identical circles, four meters in diameter, arranged in a row 14 meters apart, with two overlapping. The grass within the circles was brown and withered, while the grass in the center remained green.

Sørlia near Hundorp in Oppland

On December 13, 1994, Thor Løkken reported seeing a bright red-orange object moving at high speed from south to north. He described it as resembling a cylindrical diesel tank, glowing red, with smoke swirling from its surface.

Kvikne in Hedmark

On February 3, 1995, three children observed a bright light in the sky that appeared to be a formation of 15-20 'stars' forming a circle approximately 25-30 meters in diameter. A brighter 'star' was seen to fall slowly towards the ground. The phenomenon extinguished itself.

New from Hessdalen

• Bjarne Lillevold reports three new cases from Hessdalen in 1995:
• January 17: A luminous cigar-shaped object was observed moving slowly from west to east.
• February 22: An orange sphere moved from south to north and crashed into Elvdalen, reportedly filmed.
• February 24: A green light entered a window, followed by a loud rumbling heard over a wide area. Meteorological and astrophysical institutes suggested it could be lightning or St. Elmo's fire, but the distance and conditions made this unlikely. The event is speculated to be a meteor.

Søgne

On February 25, a person reported seeing four rows of blinking lights moving from west to east at high speed.

New Excursion to Laugtjønn

Einar H. Glendrange, Tim Rune Urdal, and the author visited Laugtjønn, Telemark, on February 25. They followed up on a previous report about a flying cylinder seen in 1952. Despite using ice-drilling equipment, they found no significant artifacts in the lake. A mention is made of a metal object found by a neighbor of Funnemark near the lake around 1960, which was reportedly heavier than aluminum.

Exercise

Anders Funnemark reported seeing two luminous spheres followed by two jet fighters moving at high speed at low altitude on January 26, 1995. Contact with the Mågerø Radar Station confirmed an exercise was taking place, and two 'flares' were released over Nissevann. Flares are used to confuse radar and are not related to the observed spheres.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently reports on UFO sightings and phenomena across Norway, often including witness accounts, photographic evidence, and illustrations. UFO-NORGE positions itself as an organization dedicated to the study and dissemination of information about UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various cases and theories while encouraging reader participation and feedback. There is an emphasis on documenting and analyzing these phenomena, even when explanations are uncertain or controversial, such as the inclusion of an astrology section. The magazine also touches upon broader themes like the security implications of the UFO phenomenon and the potential for government secrecy.

This issue of UFO magazine, dated 1/95, is published by UFO-NORGE and focuses on the potential threat of the UFO phenomenon to national security. The cover headline poses the question: "ER UFO-FENOMENET EN TRUSSEL MOT VÅR SIKKERHET?" The issue delves into various aspects of UFO research, including government secrecy, specific case studies, and personal accounts.

Is the UFO Phenomenon a Threat to Our Security?

Ole Jonny Brænne's lead article examines why UFO-related documents are kept secret in the USA. He notes that agencies like the CIA, FBI, and USAF have declassified thousands of pages, but many more remain classified, with references indicating at least 200 additional documents are withheld. The author highlights that these documents are often withheld because their release could "severely damage US national security." The article mentions that organizations like NAVSPASUR have collected millions of observations, but the cost of obtaining this data is prohibitive. NSA has admitted to holding 239 UFO-related documents, many from other departments, with only a few partially released. The article also touches upon similar declassifications in Sweden, Spain, and Australia, and questions Norway's stance, noting that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released some documents on "unknown submarines" but has no UFO archives, while the Ministry of Defence has material on "foreign submarines" that is security-classified.

Roswell - A Crash of Credibility

This article by Willy Ustad revisits the Roswell incident, analyzing new information that has emerged over the past year. Ustad criticizes the USAF's report, calling it a "crash of USAF's credibility." He debunks the 'weather balloon' explanation, noting that the USAF now offers a different explanation. The article questions the 'Mogul' explanation, pointing out inconsistencies in the project's secrecy and the handling of balloon flights. Ustad also highlights the testimony of Jesse Marcel, an intelligence officer at Roswell Army Air Field, who described the wreckage as "not built in this world." The author suggests that Marcel, due to his role in monitoring Soviet nuclear development, would have been familiar with Project Mogul and questions if he could have mistaken a Mogul balloon for something else. The article criticizes the USAF for not interviewing key witnesses like retired generals Exon and DuBose, and for overlooking the testimony of Jesse Marcel's son and other potential witnesses.

Facts on Saturday

This section reviews an NRK TV program titled "Fakta på lørdag" that discussed various UFO cases, including Bentwater, Gulf Breeze, and Roswell. The program is described as generally balanced but noted for presenting the Ed Walters case in Gulf Breeze without significant counter-arguments. It also mentions a film clip from the early 60s that was later identified as an airplane. The Bentwater case reconstruction and the Roswell case recap are also discussed. The author praises the program as a good example for commercial channels, contrasting it with "New-Age inspired kitch" often aired.

Lars Lillevold Dies

This short piece announces the death of Lars Lillevold, a contact person for UFO-NORGE in Hessdalen, on March 7th. Lillevold was a valuable resource person during Project Hessdalen in 1984-85 and the following decade, and was among the first to be contacted by UFO-NORGE when observations began in 1981-82. He was convinced of the reality of the Hessdalen phenomenon.

Strange Phenomena Near Tysfjord

Leif Normann Solhaug reports on observations of strange phenomena near Drag in Tysfjord, Nordland, Norway, which have been ongoing since 1981.

UFOs and the Space Shuttle

This section discusses the 'Rom-is' (ice) incident, where a strange object was captured on camera by the space shuttle Atlantis during the STS-48 mission. The object appeared to change direction rapidly after a flash of light. While NASA suggested it was an ice particle, UFO proponents argued it was an object. UFO-specialist James E. Oberg suggested it was an ice particle affected by a thruster firing.

John Searl and His Flying Saucers

Anders Heerfordt investigates the claims of John Searl, an Englishman who allegedly invented alternative energy motors and flying saucers. The article notes that critical voices have emerged regarding Searl's claims. Searl claimed to be able to produce anti-gravity and free energy effects using special magnets and had built flying saucers. However, the author found it difficult to find people who had witnessed Searl demonstrating these inventions. Searl also claimed that a scientist named Gunnar Sandberg had witnessed his 'perpetual motion' device, but Sandberg stated he had only seen the magnets and heard Searl's explanations. Searl's past is explored, including a conviction in 1981 for not paying electricity bills, which he attributed to using his free energy generator. Investigations into newspaper archives and court records did not fully corroborate his claims. The article concludes that Searl likely did not demonstrate a flying saucer or free energy machine and may have lied about his house being burned down.

Man-Made UFOs

This brief report mentions an incident where 25 Scottish children believed they had seen a UFO due to a loose panel on a British Airways Boeing 757. The panel was found to be improperly secured.

Letters to the Editor

Bernt Smedvig writes about his interest in UFOs and UFO-NORGE. He suggests activating members for field research and believes that UFOs are extraterrestrial craft. He also defends Rauni-Leena Luukanen as an authority on UFO research.

UFO-NORGE's Response addresses Smedvig's points. They clarify that they now use "subscribers" instead of "members" and have a "field researcher" program. They state that they do not know what the UFO phenomenon is and aim to find an answer, not to support any specific theory. Regarding Hessdalen, they acknowledge radar sightings but suggest that atmospheric phenomena or bird flocks could also cause radar echoes. They are skeptical of the alien visitation theory.

Arne Jønsrud questions UFO-NORGE's critical stance towards Rauni-Leena Luukanen and Gry Jannicke Jarlum, suggesting a dialogue would be more productive. He believes that science does not yet understand many phenomena, including healing, and that UFOs could be advanced extraterrestrial craft.

UFO-NORGE's Response reiterates their scientific approach, stating they accept no theory without verifiable evidence. They acknowledge that many phenomena are not yet understood but are open to all possibilities. They explain their critical stance towards Luukanen and Jarlum, viewing their approach as overly aggressive and missionary, making genuine dialogue difficult. They also note that Jannicke Jarlum's claims became more pronounced after she reportedly came into contact with Rauni-Leena Luukanen.

Jan Quam comments on the speed of UFOs, questioning the claim that a UFO cannot exceed 30,000 km/t at ground level. He also questions the concept of measuring distances in the universe by frequency, as proposed by Knut Ove Hauge.

Knut Ove Hauge writes about his theory of measuring distances in the universe by frequency, based on calculations of gravitational fields and black-body radiation. He claims that this method can determine distances between celestial bodies.

UFO-NORGE's Response to Quam's letter acknowledges the telephone conversation but clarifies that Hauge's theory of alien visitation is a separate issue from UFO-NORGE's goal of finding an answer to the UFO mystery. They state that they do not speculate on visitation theories. Regarding Hauge's distance theory, they defer to their astronomy expert, Jan Qvam.

Jan Qvam's comment on Hauge's distance theory states that the method is unknown and appears irrelevant without proper definitions and starting points. He finds the frequency measurements for Earth-Sun and Earth-Sirius incomprehensible and suggests that celestial body temperature would determine distance according to Hauge's theory.

Uri Geller to Pay a Fortune

This report details the ongoing legal battle between Uri Geller and CSICOP/James Randi. Judge Stanley S. Harris has ordered Geller to pay approximately 700,000 kr. to CSICOP for legal costs. The case began with Geller's claim for 100 million kr. in damages after Randi exposed him as a fraud.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently adopts a skeptical, scientific approach to the UFO phenomenon, emphasizing the need for verifiable evidence. While acknowledging the existence of unexplained phenomena, UFO-NORGE expresses caution towards theories that lack empirical support, particularly those involving extraterrestrial visitation or unsubstantiated psychic claims. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry, seeking factual answers rather than promoting specific beliefs. There is a clear distinction made between documented facts and speculative theories, with a strong emphasis on critical analysis and debunking misinformation. The magazine also highlights the role of government secrecy in UFO research, suggesting that the withholding of information implies a perceived threat to national security. The recurring theme is the pursuit of truth through rigorous investigation, even when faced with controversial or unpalatable conclusions.

This issue of UFO magazine, dated 1/95 and covering December 1994 to February 1995, features a diverse range of articles exploring UFO phenomena, government secrecy, lunar mysteries, and the psychology of belief. The cover story, 'MÅNEMYSTIKK' (Moon Mysticism), by Neil Nixon, delves into the enigmatic nature of the Moon, questioning its origins and structure. The magazine also includes a section on astrology, presented by Evelyn Bakken, which explores its historical context and validity.

Government Secrecy and UFO Reports

The issue highlights the lack of official information regarding UFOs in Norway. A report details UFO-Norge's inquiries to the Norwegian defense command (FO/LST), which repeatedly denied having any UFO archives. Despite some acknowledgment of routine registration of reports at lower levels, the material is described as unsystematic and potentially destroyed, making it difficult to retrieve. The article criticizes this secrecy, questioning whether it implies a national security threat.

Several UFO sighting reports are documented from Norway and Mexico:

• Kragerø, Norway (December 1994): Several young people reported seeing nine luminous objects, identified as UFOs. Similar sightings occurred the previous evening.
• Kjøllefjord, Norway (December 16, 1994): Witnesses observed a mysterious, luminous flying object moving low towards Mehamn, described as a large flare.
• Kragerø, Norway (December 1994): UFOs were described as a triangular craft with a ring and lights, and a hexagonal, disc-shaped object.
• Meråker, Norway (January 1, 1995): A strange, blinking yellow light was observed in the sky.
• Skatval, Norway (January 5, 1995): The same blinking light was seen, described as yellow with a red center.
• Mexico (Summer 1991 onwards): A wave of UFO sightings has been reported, with numerous photos and videos published.

The Mysteries of the Moon

Neil Nixon's article, 'MÅNEMYSTIKK' (Moon Mysticism), continues a series exploring the Moon's enigmatic nature. It questions whether the Moon is a living organism and discusses fundamental questions about its origin, formation, and composition. The article highlights discrepancies between scientific theories and data from lunar missions, particularly regarding the Moon's density and the formation of its craters. It also touches upon the 'hollow Moon' theory, supported by observations of seismic vibrations after lunar module impacts, and the unusual flatness of lunar craters.

Psychology of Perception and Belief

Odd-Gunnar Røed's article, 'KAN VI STOLE PÅ VÅRE SANSER?' (Can We Trust Our Senses?), explores the subjective nature of human perception. It argues that our senses and brains filter information, creating a personal reality based on our experiences and cultural background. The article suggests that our perception can be so subjective that we might fail to notice things directly in front of us, or misinterpret phenomena like UFOs due to a lack of appropriate reference frames.

Another article discusses the psychology behind belief in UFOs, particularly among young people. It notes that a significant percentage of confirmands believe in UFOs and some attribute them with benevolent intentions. The article also touches upon the phenomenon of 'abductions' and the role of figures like Dr. John Mack in promoting such narratives. It raises questions about whether these beliefs stem from genuine experiences or psychological needs.

Astrology: A Controversial Subject

Evelyn Bakken introduces astrology as a new topic in the magazine, acknowledging its controversial nature. She presents a historical overview, noting its ancient roots and the differing views held by philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. The article traces the evolution of astrology through the Renaissance and its subsequent marginalization by science, only to see a resurgence in interest in the latter half of the 20th century. Bakken emphasizes that astrology should be approached with an open mind and suggests consulting reputable sources and practitioners.

Scientific Investigation of Astrology

The magazine includes a section on a scientific investigation into astrology by French statistician and astrologer Michelin Gauquelin. His extensive research, initially aimed at disproving astrology, eventually led him to acknowledge certain phenomena, such as the 'Mars effect,' that could not be easily explained away. The article suggests that Gauquelin's work provides a more evidence-based approach to understanding astrology.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue consistently questions official narratives and encourages critical thinking regarding UFO phenomena and other unexplained events. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards government secrecy and a willingness to explore unconventional theories, while also grounding discussions in psychological and historical contexts. The magazine aims to present information and encourage readers to form their own informed opinions, particularly on topics like UFOs and astrology, which are often met with strong beliefs or disbelief.

This issue of UFO magazine, dated 1/95, focuses on a variety of topics including lectures held on offshore platforms, the enduring mystery of the Philadelphia Experiment, and general UFO observations in Norway.

Astrology and Personal Beliefs

The issue opens with a piece discussing the nature of 'psychics' and astrology. The author, Evelyn Bakken, suggests that while some people seek entertainment, others in difficult life situations may turn to psychics for solace. She notes the debate around the credibility of psychics and the lack of professional regulation. Bakken also touches upon the potential for manipulation and the importance of personal freedom of belief, criticizing the idea that everyone must subscribe to the same beliefs. She mentions that future articles will cover horoscopes, planetary symbols, and astrological methods, and offers a demonstration via a Teletorg information line.

On the Seabed: Lectures on Statfjord A

Odd-Gunnar Røed reports on his visit to the Statfjord A platform in the Nordsjøen, where he held lectures about Norwegian UFO cases. He presented slides from Arendal and Hessdalen, locations significant in Norway's UFO history. The lectures, each lasting about three hours, were well-attended. Røed himself experienced a unique descent to the seabed, 150 meters below the surface, wearing a helmet and protective gear. He describes the harsh conditions, including high waves (22.1 meters) and strong winds (102 knots) on January 31st, which made outdoor movement impossible. Despite the challenging environment, the radar and radio room operators, including Sverre Jacobsen, reported no UFO sightings from the platform or its vicinity. Jacobsen noted that UFO-related incidents are rare at sea compared to land.

The Philadelphia Experiment

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the Philadelphia Experiment, a controversial event allegedly occurring in October-November 1943 involving the destroyer USS Eldridge DE 173. The experiment is said to have aimed at making the ship invisible to radar, but it reportedly resulted in the entire ship and its crew becoming truly invisible and being teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk and back. The article details claims of crew members experiencing invisibility, developing strange illnesses, or even catching fire. It mentions alleged involvement of scientists like John von Neumann, Albert Einstein, and Nikola Tesla, and suggests contact with non-human entities. The narrative traces the history of these claims, starting with letters sent to Morris K. Jessup in 1956 by Carl M. Allen. The story gained wider attention with the 1979 book 'The Philadelphia Experiment' by Charles Berlitz and William Moore, and the subsequent 1984 film. Al Bielek's 1989 claims further fueled the legend, suggesting the experiments continued and allowed for time travel and inter-planetary exploration. However, the article also presents counter-arguments and skepticism. It notes Allen's retraction of his claims in 1969, and Robert A. Gorman's 1980 article suggesting Carl M. Allen was a prankster whose information was distorted. A key piece of information comes from Edward Dudgeon, who was aboard the USS Eldridge in 1943. Dudgeon reportedly confirmed a secret experiment but explained it as an effort to de-magnetize the ship to make it invisible to magnetic torpedoes, a common threat during WWII. This involved installing equipment like radar, sonar, and devices to create decoy sounds. The article concludes that the 'invisibility' was likely magnetic, not literal, and likens the truth of the Philadelphia Experiment to that of a UFO crash on Svalbard.

UFO Observations in Norway

The magazine includes a section on UFO observations in Norway, featuring photographs of unexplained phenomena. One photo from Espedalen, Oppland, taken on July 21st, is mentioned as being discussed further. Another Polaroid photo from Veikledalen, Kvam, taken on November 20th, 1993, by Magnar Kvikstad Hagen, captures an unknown phenomenon. A third image shows an unidentified object in Horten, with the Basyøyfergen ferry in the background, taken in the summer of 1987. The article notes that these sightings are detailed on subsequent pages.

Back Issues and Theme Booklets

UFO-NORGE provides a list of available back issues of their magazine, with prices for both A4 copies and original editions, as well as postage costs. They also list five theme booklets that have been published: 'Nikola Tesla', 'Spitsbergen' (regarding a possible UFO crash), 'Near Contact with Faith', 'UFO Observations in Norway 1536-1946', and 'Norwegian Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind'. These can be purchased individually or as a collected A4 booklet.

Editorial and Reader Engagement

The magazine encourages readers to submit articles and contributions, specifying guidelines for manuscripts, illustrations, and digital submissions. They also request clippings from newspapers and magazines, and seek translators. A call is made for readers to help promote UFO-NORGE by distributing information folders, with incentives for recruiting new members. Finally, a 'Support Fund for UFO-NORGE' is announced, appealing for donations to help the organization continue its work.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue reflects a consistent editorial stance of investigating UFO phenomena with a critical yet open mind. While presenting accounts of alleged sightings and experiments like the Philadelphia Experiment, the magazine also seeks to provide rational explanations or historical context, as seen in the de-magnetization theory for the Philadelphia Experiment and the lack of radar-detected UFOs from Statfjord A. The inclusion of astrology suggests an interest in various forms of unexplained phenomena and belief systems. The magazine actively engages its readership, encouraging submissions and support, indicating a community-focused approach to UFO research in Norway.
