Countries Acknowledge UFOs and Extraterrestrials

The lead article, "PAÍSES QUE JÁ ADMITIRAM OFICIALMENTE A EXISTÊNCIA DOS OVNIS e EXTRATERRESTES" by A. J. Gevaerd of Revista UFO, compiles a history of official admissions regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial presence by various nations.

• URSS (1969): The Minister of Science announced that the Soviet Union considered the UFO subject very serious, making it an obligation for citizens to report sightings. Over 100,000 reports were received, but the government later ceased discussion on the topic.
• Russia (February 5, 1997): The Russian Government officially declared that UFOs exist and have interfered with civilian and military life. Images of UFOs, both within and outside the atmosphere, were released by the Russian government, previously classified as secret.
• France (1976): President Alain Giscard d'Estaing confirmed the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials approaching Earth. He revealed photos and films of UFOs over France and founded Gepan (Groupment d'Études des Phénomènes Aeriens), an official UFO research entity, which continues to operate with limited resources.
• Argentina (1978): The President admitted UFOs existed without providing details. It is known that the Argentine Air Force maintains a semi-secret official UFO research program.
• Uruguay (1982): An ex-president confirmed the existence of UFOs and an official research entity within the Air Force, the Cridovni (Comisión Receptadora e Investigadora de Denuncias OVNI), founded in 1979. This entity is mixed, comprising civilians and military, though its members are described as skeptical and using outdated methodologies.
• Brazil (1986): During a significant UFO wave in May, the Minister of Aeronautics, Octávio Moreira Lima, admitted that radar systems detected over 20 unidentified objects, each about 100 meters in diameter, obstructing major airways. A promised report was never materialized.
• Belgium (1994): Following a wave of UFO sightings, particularly mysterious flying triangles, the former Minister of Defense, Brouer, admitted the seriousness of the issue and that the Air Force would investigate. Rumors suggest a research center exists.
• Chile (1996): General Ramón Vega brought the UFO debate into official channels, leading to the establishment of the CEEFA (Centro de Estudios de Fenómenos Aeroespaciales) within the Chilean Air Force. This organization is mixed, with UFO representative Rodrigo Fuenzalida participating in its research.
• Spain (1997): The country has admitted UFO existence on several occasions. Since 1993, the Spanish Air Force has released fragmented official documents, leading ufologists to suspect a political maneuver, as only minor cases are disclosed, often distorted, while complex cases are withheld.

Russians: Contacts with ETs on Salyut-6

This section details a remarkable alleged encounter between Soviet cosmonauts aboard the Salyut-6 space station and an extraterrestrial craft. The report, referencing a 1984 article from Revista Manchete, describes an event that occurred on May 14, 1981.

• The Encounter: Cosmonauts Vladimir Kovalyonok and Viktor Savinikh, during their 75-day mission on Salyut-6, observed an unknown spherical object approaching their station. The object, described as half the size of Salyut-6, had no visible propulsion systems and appeared to be made of a smooth, silver material.
• Visual Observation: Through the station's windows, the cosmonauts saw what appeared to be three beings with human-like features behind transparent visors. These beings had large, blue eyes and a calm, emotionless demeanor, resembling solemn Hindu men or robots. The craft had 24 windows in three levels, with larger ones (six times the size of Salyut-6's) and smaller ones (45 cm in diameter).
• Communication Attempts: Kovalyonok attempted to communicate using Morse code with a flashlight, first in Russian and then in English, but received no response. He then used a mathematical sequence (binary code), which was deciphered by mathematician Boris Katznborgen as a logarithm using the same base, indicating a shared understanding of mathematics.
• ET Behavior: The alien craft remained stationary for 24 hours before moving closer, within 100 meters, without using any visible means of propulsion. The beings later emerged from their craft and walked in space, wearing similar suits. They displayed human-like movements, though described as rigid and mechanical.
• Mission Control's Response: When Kovalyonok requested permission for closer contact, mission control on Earth issued a definitive "NYET" (No), preventing a third-degree encounter.
• Evidence: The encounter was reportedly filmed by Kovalyonok, resulting in a 45-minute film that is allegedly kept secret. The article also mentions a potential subsequent contact with the Salyut-7 station.
• Public Revelation: The information was revealed during an extraordinary meeting on June 18, 1981, convened by the Soviet planning ministry (Gosplan), with cosmonauts, scientists, and military officials present. General Georgi Beregovoy, head of the Soviet space program, moderated the session.

SOHO Continues to Operate After More Than 17 Years in Space?

This section questions the prolonged operation of NASA's SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) probe, which was launched in 1995 and originally planned for a two-year mission.

• Mysterious Images: The article highlights images captured by SOHO showing large, metallic objects with gigantic arms orbiting near the sun, resembling spacecraft. These images have caused concern and are described as more than mere aberrations.
• Scientific Explanation vs. Reality: The magazine presents a scientific explanation suggesting that cosmic rays hitting the camera sensors can create such images. However, the author expresses skepticism, arguing that if this were the case, such images would be more frequent and NASA would not be conducting extensive research.
• SOHO's Role: The article posits that SOHO, a joint project between European and NASA consortia, has become a primary source of near real-time data about the sun and its surroundings. Its strategic location at a gravitational equilibrium point between Earth and the Sun allows it to capture these unique images.
• Longevity and Purpose: The author questions why SOHO's mission has been extended multiple times, with its operation approved until at least December 2014, suggesting its current function may be more significant than initially stated.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea that UFO phenomena are real and often suppressed or downplayed by official channels. The editorial stance is one of advocating for transparency and investigation into these unexplained events. The recurring themes include government secrecy, the potential for extraterrestrial contact, and the need for continued public awareness and research into UFOs. The publication aims to present documented evidence and eyewitness accounts to support its claims, encouraging readers to question official narratives and explore the broader implications of these phenomena for humanity's understanding of the universe.
