Contents and Articles

Article: Orly near Paris, February 20, 1956 (referencing an earlier article in Heft 6, p. 8)

This section elaborates on a previously reported UFO sighting. The unknown aircraft, described as having double the circumference of the largest earthly machine, appeared on the radar screen of the air traffic control at Orly airport. The report highlights its registered speed of 3600 km/h and its ability to hover indefinitely. It is also noted that the UFO followed a Swissair flight No. 103 for 40 seconds. The cliché for this article was provided by the publisher 'Neues Europa/Morgen'.

Article: Mysticism the Science of Tomorrow

This article posits that modern science is limited because it only considers phenomena observable by the senses. It argues that true science should also acknowledge the spiritual, the unseen forces connecting things to the universe. The author suggests that humanity's current materialistic path was cosmically determined and that Christ's message pointed towards a new era. The 'Enciclopedia Cattolica' is cited for an interpretation of the parable of the Good Shepherd, suggesting Christ left beings on other stars to redeem sinful Earthlings. The article interprets Jesus' words about 'other sheep not of this fold' as a prophecy of Christ's return with 'Sons of Heaven' whose vehicles are today's 'Flying Saucers.'

The article further states that many UFOs exhibit occult characteristics and that the new era of humanity has been initiated by 'Radiant Beings of the All,' ushering in a new era of science under the sign of mysticism. This transition involves a change in mindset, moving away from patriarchy, war, cruelty, and injustice towards kindness. The author references ancient texts and authors like Leslie, Dr. Martin, J. W. Scott-Elliott, Protap Chandra Roy, Harold J. Wilkins, Helen Blavatsky, James Curchward, and Romesh Dutt, who documented ancient flying machines called 'Vimanas' capable of interstellar travel.

It is suggested that humanity's fall began when it considered itself omnipotent, leading to the destruction of Atlantis and Lemuria. Advanced humans then left Earth in spaceships. The article concludes that humans have been observed by extraterrestrial beings for millennia, using their Vimanas and telepathic abilities.

Article: The Responsibility of Extraterrestrials

This section discusses the idea that extraterrestrials are responsible for Earth's inhabitants. It quotes Orfeo Angelucci, who claims his 'friends from space' use 'recording units' in their 'Flying Saucers' to capture images, spoken words, and unspoken thoughts, transmitting them to a mother ship for storage in 'crystal brains.' The article also references Adamski's 'Inside the Space Ships,' which reportedly details similar information.

Mystical aspects of UFOs are listed, including sudden disappearances and reappearances, shape-shifting, and the dissolution of landed craft, leaving behind 'angel hair.' The article notes that UFOs are seen more frequently during times of war and catastrophe, linking this to humanity's dangerous experiments with atomic energy.

It mentions 'Uraniden' (a term for extraterrestrials) who can perform phenomena considered supernatural, such as materialization, dematerialization, passing through matter, precipitation (creation of matter), levitation, elevation, teleportation, language mastery, and advanced telepathic abilities.

Editor's Postscript (NACHWORT DES VERFASSERS)

J. Heinrich Ragaz clarifies that his views are not based on any existing religious confession but on information received from the occupants of 'flying saucers.' He defends his use of religious-sounding language as reflecting the objective picture presented to him. He argues that it is illogical to consider UFO sightings as facts while rejecting the messages from their occupants, suggesting that while not yet scientifically proven, these messages are relevant.

Article: What is happening on the Moon?

This article discusses reports from individuals who have contacted extraterrestrials, stating that humanity's space projects have been anticipated. It mentions astronomers observing mysterious phenomena on the Moon that suggest intelligent life. Professor H. T. Wilkins' book 'Flying Saucers from the Moon' is cited. The article details numerous alleged observations on the Moon, including kilometer-long structures, lights in craters, and a bridge over Mare Crisium, suggesting engineering work. It also references Helene Blavatsky's 'Secret Doctrine,' which speaks of a second, invisible moon and suggests that both moons may be visited by extraterrestrials.

The article mentions a report from 'Spiritual Life' about a 1956 announcement by American observatories that would 'astonish the world.' It suggests that governments possess sensational information about UFOs that they are delaying release. The increase in UFO sightings, particularly in Scandinavia, is noted. The Moon is described as an important base for extraterrestrials in their 'Earth Action,' and the fact that astronomers and astronauts are now discussing a 'soon invasion of Earth' is seen as a sign that governments are preparing the public for impending events.

Article: George Adamski - I Meet a Master

This section presents a narrative attributed to George Adamski, describing his encounter with a 'great teacher' from a Venusian 'flying saucer.' The teacher explains that Adamski has been shown much in various craft and is meant to share this knowledge with Earth's inhabitants. The vastness and constant motion of space are described, filled with 'always acting parts' that create all forms. The teacher explains that planets are like forms, developing over long periods, and that twelve planets form a system, with twelve systems forming a larger 'island in the universe.'

It is stated that human form has evolved through recognizing the 'Laws of Nature,' which are understood as the growth through following the laws of a supreme intelligence governing time and space. Travel through space is easy for those who understand these laws. The teacher contrasts the limitations of Earth's development with other worlds, noting that while Earth is the least developed in its solar system, other worlds exist with less developed social or scientific understanding, and others with advanced science but low social understanding.

The teacher asserts that all peoples in their system, except those from Earth, travel freely in space. He criticizes humanity's limited view of life and the universe, which leads to false assumptions. He offers help from his people, who have experienced a similar path of development.

Article: WELTRUNDSCHAU (World Review)

This section provides a collection of recent UFO sighting reports:

• August 5, 1935, Kentucky, USA: Thousands witnessed a UFO described as large, with a sharp white edge and a bluish-green fiery tail, moving at high speed. It was reported to have flown very low and had windows.
• September, Dum Dum Airport, India: A blinding green, spherical object was observed at 1000 meters altitude.
• October, Kawango, Uganda: A bright green, glass-like saucer, about 6 meters in size, hovered, descended, and flew away at high speed, making a noise.
• Cincinnati, Ohio, USA: Frank Flaig and his wife observed a metallic sphere hovering about half a meter above the ground. It had no visible features and was about 1.20 meters in diameter.
• October 31, Melbourne, Australia: Hundreds saw a large saucer, 10 meters in diameter, with lights and landing balls, descending over the city.
• December 28, 1955, Doueika, Greece: A cigar-shaped spacecraft was seen performing loops before disappearing into a cloud of smoke.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea that UFOs are real, extraterrestrial craft, often linked to advanced civilizations and a coming spiritual transformation. There is a strong emphasis on mysticism, ancient wisdom (such as Vimanas), and the limitations of conventional science. The editorial stance is one of advocating for a broader, more spiritual understanding of reality, challenging materialistic views, and preparing readers for significant, possibly extraterrestrial-influenced, events. The magazine appears to be a platform for disseminating alternative information and fostering a community interested in these topics, despite facing challenges with mainstream distribution.

This issue of "Der Kleine Kurier" (The Little Courier), dated page 13, delves into profound and often controversial topics, primarily focusing on the dangers of nuclear fission, the mystery of UFOs, and spiritual insights into the nature of reality and human evolution. The magazine adopts a critical stance towards modern science, particularly nuclear physics, and advocates for a spiritual or esoteric understanding of the universe.

The Dangers of Nuclear Fission and the Blinding of Science

The lead article on page 1, "Auf keinem Gebiete der Wissenschaft hat es so grosse Verrätereien gegeben wie auf dem der Kernspaltung" (In no field of science have there been greater betrayals than in that of nuclear fission), sets a dire tone. It condemns nuclear fission as unnatural and against God, stating that the secret of the atomic bomb has been spread by spies. The author argues that scientists involved in this field become dominated by these destructive forces, losing their conscience and becoming "blinded" to the "dark powers." These scientists are depicted as creating increasingly horrific combinations of atomic and hydrogen bombs, serving "dark forces." The article warns of future fear and terror as these forces turn against humanity, with phenomena in the night sky serving as "warnings in the last minute." It posits that these are "spiritual correspondences" of corrupted humans, and that what happens in the material world has its counterpart in the spiritual realm.

The article further criticizes the misuse of nuclear fission for its "unnatural" acceleration of natural processes, which took millions of years to develop. It asserts that this is an "intervention in the divine creation," as God appointed humans as stewards, not destroyers, of the universe. The author believes God will intervene to prevent humanity from destroying itself and creation, using means beyond the comprehension of "blinded inventors, scientists, and statesmen."

Page 2 continues this theme, stating that "heavy damage" will occur but not a "world-ending catastrophe." This is framed as a "punishment" for those who believe they have risen above God. The article criticizes scientists for claiming to have created new elements beyond the 92 God created, obtained through nuclear fission by altering neutrons, electrons, and protons. These new elements are deemed not of divine origin but "begotten by the powers of the deep, of destruction, of the anti-divine." The author predicts that those involved will lose their right to exist on Earth and will be cast back into "eternal night."

The text warns that those who spread the truth about these matters are persecuted, as the truth is "anything but flattering and expedient" for state leaders. It laments the focus on armament over the "huge misery" on Earth, driven by the hope of better business. The article concludes this section by stating that those with "peaceful hearts" who desire the "turn of the age" should unite and stand for truth, even if not understood. They will be spared the "terrifying celestial phenomena" or will witness them "calmly and fearlessly" through faith in God's love.

This period is described as the "last section" where a "turnaround" is possible, after which it will be too late. The author invokes Jesus's promise to return, not as the Son of Man, but in his "true form, as a spirit being, in all of God's creatures." This spark connects all creatures to God, unless they have renounced God through their "free will" and fallen into darkness.

UFOs and Extraterrestrial Visitors

The cover story, "Wer sind die Insassen der Raumschiffe?" (Who are the occupants of the spaceships?), by Johannes Wilhelm von Arbter, explores the identity of UFO occupants. It references ancient texts, specifically Genesis VI, 4, and other parts of the Old Testament, which speak of "Sons of Heaven" who interacted with "daughters of Earth." It also mentions "Manasa-Putras" from India, described as "Sons of the Fire Nebula" or "Sons of Venus," who taught humanity the use of fire and severed their ties to allow humans to learn independently. The misuse of these powers led to the downfall of Atlantis, and a similar fate now threatens humanity if they misuse the "powers of high knowledge."

The article suggests that these "Manasa-Putras" can materialize and dematerialize, appearing to humans who have the "inner prerequisites." It connects these beings to the "Sons of the Fire Nebula" and "Sons of Venus" visiting Earth and our solar system. The author urges people to learn from this fact and not to dismiss it with "materialistic thinking" or "intellectual will."

Okkult phenomena are presented as signs that the "otherworldly realm" is in contact with us. The article notes that UFOs and their occupants can become invisible, causing earthly aircraft searching for them to disappear. It mentions seven such disappearances at once.

Scientific Exploration and Esoteric Knowledge

Page 4 features an article titled "Energie aus der Schwerkraft" (Energy from Gravity). It discusses Professor Oppenheimer's involvement in a research community attempting to harness gravity as an energy source. The article links this to the reality of "flying saucers" and speculates that their operation might involve negating or amplifying gravity through high-speed rotating gyroscopes or similar methods. It also mentions the discovery of new particles, "anti-protons," which might be the "carriers" of gravity.

Based on research by Professor Lenard and Einstein, the universe is described as a unified force field where electricity, magnetism, and gravity operate. While energy has traditionally been obtained through matter destruction (combustion, fission) or conversion of magnetic to electric fields, the article posits that converting a gravitational field into an electromagnetic one is theoretically possible. A gravity-powered motor is predicted to be very cheap as the energy source is free and constantly available.

Spiritual and Esoteric Interpretations

Several sections offer spiritual and esoteric interpretations of phenomena. H. K. Iranschähr writes about "awakened and enlightened souls" watching in the "morning land of knowledge," observing the "starry sky of humanity's future."

Parm's article, "Ein Blick ins Wassermannzeitalter" (A Look into the Aquarian Age), discusses how in the spiritual world, ideas are creative, and beings can simply imagine their clothing into existence from fine matter. This contrasts with Earth, where creation is a laborious process of drafting and materializing.

Dr. Wilhelm Martin addresses the mystery of electrical current, noting the vast difference between the speed of electrical current (300,000 km/s) and the slow movement of electrons. He states that science has not adequately explained this.

Page 5 mentions a film about UFOs being shown in Germany and Austria, with efforts to bring it to Switzerland. It also references an article in "Der Spiegel" about the church's stance on "space people."

Page 6 contains a letter from the editor thanking readers and discussing the possibility of sharing reader addresses for those wishing to connect. It reports multiple UFO sightings in Switzerland, including observations over Zurich and near Säntis-Bodensee. The article mentions a report from Payerne on December 19, 1954, and a detailed description of a Zurich sighting on April 28, 1955. It also references a report from Frau Vivot and a photograph of a disc taken in Olten. The editor notes that discs are often seen from airfields and aircraft but are kept secret due to non-disclosure agreements.

Several newspaper clippings are cited: the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" on July 31, 1954, about a "flying object over Zurich" (later attributed to a balloon); "Die Tat" on August 16, 1954, with a detailed article and a lieutenant's report; "Sie und Er" on September 16, 1954, with five witness accounts; "Der Bund" on October 10, 1954, with a report from a "serious eyewitness"; "Die Woche" on November 28, 1954, about observations in Payerne; and "Hobby" (Stuttgart) in November 1954, detailing numerous "discs over Zurich" seen by many people.

The editor also discusses a message from spaceships (No. 6, p. 10) that seems improbable because it mentions Christ and the Bible. The message explains these as earthly phenomena transferable to "Uranides" and states that Christ was not an earthly being but lives eternally and is connected to beings of higher knowledge who can perceive the past of humans.

Page 7 features a response to a reader's letter, addressing the comparison of a UFO photo to a streetlamp, dismissing it as an "author" but rather a self-luminous "North Pole" of a controllable planet with its own gravitational field. It mentions Adamski's claim of a powerful telescope on board. The author suggests that understanding UFOs might not require delving into occultism unless "mystical events" are involved. The article touches on the invisibility of UFOs and their occupants, and the disappearance of search aircraft.

It questions why esoteric knowledge is presented upfront, potentially hindering public trust. The author advises seeking truth where it is, not where one wishes it to be.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the dangers of unchecked scientific advancement, particularly in nuclear physics, and the perceived spiritual or divine order that governs the universe. There is a strong undercurrent of esotericism and a belief in higher intelligences, both divine and extraterrestrial, influencing human affairs. The magazine promotes a spiritual worldview that contrasts with materialistic science, suggesting that true understanding comes from spiritual insight rather than purely intellectual pursuit. The editorial stance is critical of modern, materialistic science and governmental secrecy, advocating for a return to spiritual values and a recognition of non-material realities. The issue also highlights the growing public interest in UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact, framing these phenomena within a spiritual and evolutionary context.
