WELTRAUMBOTE is an independent magazine dedicated to spreading the truth about 'Flying Saucers' (Unidentified Flying Objects), combating atomic energy, and preparing for a new spiritual age. It is published bi-monthly.

Cover Story: The Holloman Photograph

The cover prominently features a photograph, taken on October 16, 1957, by Miss Ella Fortune, which allegedly proves the appearance of an unknown flying object over the US Air Force base at Holloman, New Mexico. This sighting occurred at the beginning of a wave of sightings in the autumn of the previous year. Holloman is also a research facility for guided missiles, and White Sands is nearby. Experts have authenticated the negative, and mathematicians at the base estimate the object's length at 4000 feet (1200 meters), using landmarks like telephone poles and mountains for scale, though the altitude remains unknown, which is a crucial factor for accurate dimension determination. The 'spaceship' reportedly hovered motionless for over 15 minutes. It was described as being made of white material and emitting a bright beam from its southern side. Multiple eyewitnesses categorically stated it was not a cloud, airplane, or balloon. The American government released this photographic document in late July, a rare exception. Sources cited include the New York Herald, APRO Bulletin, Flying Saucer Review, Jours de France, and Corriere d'informazione.

The 'Fence Post' Phenomenon

The article "Der Zaunpfahl" (The Fence Post) introduces the concept, popularized by French expert Aimé Michel, that UFO sightings often align in straight lines. Michel, an aeronautics expert, radio engineer, and journalist, has studied 'saucer' sightings for years. His 1954 book, "Lueurs sur les Soucoupes Volantes," initially met with skepticism but led him to conclude that these phenomena are real and not man-made. Michel's research suggests that when analyzing sightings from a single day, most locations fall on a straight line, often forming two parallel or near-parallel lines. These lines are typically valid for only 24 hours, with new alignments appearing after midnight. The magazine presents a map of France with numbered observation points connected by straight lines, illustrating this 'spiderweb' network. General L.-M. Chassin, Commander of Air Defense for Central Europe (OTAN), is quoted as saying this network evokes the idea of systematic surveillance.

UFO Sightings in France (October 1954)

The issue details numerous UFO observations in France on October 7, 1954, as mapped by Aimé Michel. These include:

Analysis of the 'Fence Post' Phenomenon and UFOs

Aimé Michel's research, detailed in articles in "Jours de France" and "Match," and his book "Mystérieux Objets Célestes," is central to this issue. The magazine highlights that Michel's systematic analysis of sightings, particularly focusing on single-day events, revealed the linear alignment pattern. The article dismisses the idea of hallucinations or collective visions being responsible, emphasizing that witnesses consistently describe material flying objects. The magazine also references an article from issue Nr. 14/15 about the 'deepest shadow of the earth' and 'most spiritual phenomena,' suggesting a possible link to physical forces. The linear system is thought to suggest magnetic forces at play, and the pattern changes nightly.

Notable Landings in Autumn 1954

The issue recounts several significant UFO landings in France during the autumn of 1954:

• Poncey-sur-Lignon (Côte-d'Or), October 4, 1954: A spaceship landed. Mme. Fourneret observed a luminous, orange object about 3 meters wide. Traces included a scar on the ground, ash piles, and uprooted grass. The object was described as having a trapezoidal shape.
• Unspecified location near Dijon, October 2, 1954: A low-flying, bright, cylindrical apparatus was observed. It was described as an orange mass with a green ring.
• Chaleix (Dordogne), October 4, 1954: A bell-shaped craft landed. Two human-like figures emerged, offering their hands. They departed rapidly, leaving flattened grass.
• Loctudy (Finistère), October 5, 1954: A round spaceship, 2.5-3 meters in diameter, landed. A short being (approx. 1.2 meters tall) emerged, spoke unintelligibly, and had large, dark eyes. Two shiny 'saucers' were later seen near Concarneau.

Further Sightings and Official Reactions

Additional sightings are reported, including:

• Le Mans-Arnage, October 5, 1954: Meteorological officials observed an object that defied classification.
• Beaumont, near Clermont-Ferrand, October 5, 1954: A round airship was seen, hovering at 150 meters, causing a strange feeling and smelling of nitro-benzene.
• Lagrasse and Villemagne (Aude), October 5, 1954: A metallic disc descended into a field and then ascended rapidly.
• Côtes du Nord, October 5, 1954: A small, round apparatus landed, and two small figures were observed.
• Reims, October 5, 1954: A strange machine, over 3 meters long, was observed.
• Roverbella (Mantua, Italy), October 5, 1954: A fisherman was greeted by a 'mysterious, red-clad individual.'
• Near Bergerac, October 6, 1954: A spindle-shaped object with greenish radiation landed on three supports, leaving curious, blackish traces.
• La Rochelle, October 6, 1954: A metallic disc was observed.

The magazine criticizes the scientific community and governments for their persistent denial and suppression of UFO information, suggesting that fear for their positions leads technicians and astronomers to remain silent. The issue contrasts this with the efforts of those seeking to spread the truth.

Subscription Information and Editorial Notes

Subscription details are provided for Switzerland, Austria, and other foreign countries, with payment options including postal check accounts and bank accounts. The publisher requests clear and complete address information for correspondence and notes that personal replies are limited due to the workload. Readers are encouraged to send in reports of their own observations, with only expenses covered. The magazine also mentions a supplement on the history of the Yeti discovery, noting Colonel Waddell received evidence of its existence in 1898. The next issue might be delayed until early December.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The WELTRAUMBOTE consistently advocates for the reality of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial visitation. It positions itself as an independent voice challenging official skepticism and government secrecy. The magazine promotes a spiritual and progressive outlook, contrasting it with the perceived materialism and destructive tendencies (like atomic energy) of the modern world. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry, encouraging reader participation and the dissemination of information, while criticizing established scientific and governmental bodies for their lack of transparency and willingness to investigate UFO phenomena.

This issue of UFO Nachrichten, titled "WELTRUNDSCHAU" (World Review), presents a collection of UFO sightings and related phenomena reported primarily in the 1950s. The content is a compilation of various accounts from different locations, with a strong emphasis on European reports, particularly from France and Germany, but also including mentions from Brazil and the USA. The magazine aims to document these events, often citing witness testimonies and providing detailed descriptions of the objects and their alleged behaviors.

Key Articles and Reports

Page 1-3: Early Sightings and French Encounters

The issue begins with a detailed account of a hovering disc-shaped object with a central sphere, which ascended vertically. The following morning, an oily substance was found on the grass. Another significant report describes an incident in a French barracks where a soldier saw two strange objects, one grenade-shaped. Upon approaching, he and a colleague were immobilized by an unknown force. Other French sightings include a phosphorescent machine that disappeared instantly, a red disc ascending rapidly, and an egg-shaped object with occupants. The magazine also notes a witness being pursued by a UFO near Berentzwiller and a vehicle experiencing engine and light failure near Le Mans, accompanied by a strange light.

Page 3-4: German and Austrian Reports

Reports from Germany include a blue-green light followed by a dark mass moving in jumps, causing a tingling sensation and paralysis. A mechanic in Carcassonne reported a low-flying object with human-like creatures inside. In Pournoy-la-Chétive, a luminous round machine landed, and a small 'man' emerged. A witness in Lavoux was stopped by a beam of light emanating from a figure described as a 'diver'. An engineer returning home saw two small beings and a disc-shaped craft. A sighting by Willi Hoge near Münster, Westphalia, involved four dwarfs and a spaceship.

Page 4-5: European Sightings and Object Characteristics

M. Guibert of Marseille reported observing a large, moving red 'star' that resolved into a luminous sphere, which then performed a large loop before disappearing. The witness's wife and son also observed the object for seven minutes. A baker in Bompas saw a 2m long spindle-shaped object with iridescent lights. The army also registered a significant sighting of a large, stationary sphere, estimated to be over 40 meters in diameter. A report from Teheran describes a UFO attempting to pull a man aboard using magnetic force. Several cases of people being lifted into the air are mentioned. In Toulouse, witnesses observed a landed disc and a 1.20m tall being. Another sighting near Biot involved a 6m wide, seamless aluminum disc.

Page 6-7: North American and European Accounts

An account from Hannover, Germany, describes a kettle-like formation with a bright rim. In San Lorenzo, California, a bright light, initially thought to be a falling aircraft, stopped abruptly and then shot upwards. A review of C. G. Jung's work prompts a discussion of a past observation by Dr. G. A. Farner, who described a dark, rod-like object in the sky. A report from Tampico, Mexico, details a UFO with 'reddish lights' that changed color to a bright whitish-blue before disappearing. In Louisiana, a witness reported a football-shaped object that emitted bright light, causing his car to overheat and eventually catch fire. The object was described as having 'UN' letters on its flank and emitted a strange odor.

Page 8-10: Danish and Brazilian Reports, and Theories

This section highlights numerous sightings in Southern Jutland, Denmark, with consistent descriptions including evening appearances, red and green lights, and silent flight. A large oval object near Kolding reportedly ejected two smaller 'saucers'. Oberstleutnant H. C. Petersen suggests that 'saucers' appear when a mothership is present and that UFO waves coincide with rocket launches or atomic bomb tests. He also posits that extraterrestrials may fear humans disrupting cosmic equilibrium. The issue also touches upon reports from Brazil, including aerial photographs taken aboard the 'Almirante Saldanha'. Sightings in Abacatu and Passo Fundo are mentioned, causing significant public and official attention. A report from Zurich describes a round object radiating rainbow colors. Two UFOs were sighted over Niederau, East Germany. An orange-colored sphere was seen near Meissen, Germany. A detailed account from Inzing, Austria, describes a red-violet light that resolved into a sphere, estimated to be 2-2.5m in diameter, flying at high speed and altitude. A South African hunter, Lyle Lightbody, recounts an experience with a 'passenger aircraft' that landed and then flew away silently. A farmer in Newcastle, South Africa, observed a fire-ball with a trailing tail.

Page 11-17: Further International Reports and Analysis

Additional reports include a sighting near Dresden, Germany, of an orange sphere. A detailed account from Inzing, Austria, describes a red-violet light that resolved into a sphere, estimated to be 2-2.5m in diameter, flying at high speed and altitude. A South African hunter, Lyle Lightbody, recounts an experience with a 'passenger aircraft' that landed and then flew away silently. A farmer in Newcastle, South Africa, observed a fire-ball with a trailing tail. The magazine also includes a diagram illustrating a UFO's flight path and a 30-second standstill. The issue concludes with a discussion of the possibility of interdimensional travel and the dematerialization of objects, referencing scientific research into 'radiotransmission of matter'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFO Nachrichten consistently presents a pro-UFO stance, documenting sightings with a tone that suggests these phenomena are real and warrant serious investigation. The editorial approach favors witness testimonies, often highlighting their credibility (e.g., military personnel, respected citizens). The magazine frequently debunks conventional explanations like meteors or aircraft, suggesting more extraordinary origins for the observed objects. Recurring themes include the variety of UFO shapes and sizes, their advanced technological capabilities (silent flight, rapid ascent, instant disappearance, dematerialization), and the potential for extraterrestrial contact. The publication seems to aim at informing the public about the global nature of UFO activity and encouraging a more open-minded perspective on the subject.

'Der Kleine Kurier', issue 24, presents a collection of reports and discussions surrounding Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related phenomena, primarily from 1958. The magazine features a mix of eyewitness accounts, scientific speculation, and practical advice for enthusiasts.

Key Articles and Reports

The Argentinian Encounter

The issue opens with a detailed account of Gonzales Quintanilla, a 32-year-old truck driver from Santa Fé, Argentina. He describes stopping his truck to investigate a strange object on a field. He observed what he described as two 'double saucers' placed against each other. As he approached, a being emerged from the object. Quintanilla described this being as a giant, approximately 2.20 to 2.50 meters tall, wearing tight-fitting clothing and a helmet with an antenna. The being then shone a 'staff lamp' emitting a pinkish light that turned blue-red, causing Quintanilla to feel paralyzed and fall to the ground. When he awoke, the object and the being were gone. Authorities investigated the case with great interest, and Quintanilla was hospitalized with severe depression and vision problems. He firmly believes he encountered a giant from another star.

European Sightings

Several reports detail sightings across Europe:

• Denmark: In Jutland, a farm worker's vehicle stopped, and the lights went out. Both he and a man on a moped witnessed a large, red-gold, luminous triangle hovering slightly above the ground. After seven minutes, it ascended silently.
• France: In Biarritz, the President of the Municipal Council, Jean-Louis Vigier, along with other individuals including an Air France pilot, observed a strange, shiny object in the sky. On the Nice-Paris route, an Air France crew reported a very fast, unknown object flashing white every 11 seconds.
• Germany: In Hannover, a retiree named Peter Reiff saw a glowing red sphere, about 12 cm in diameter, hovering at an altitude of 15-20 meters and moving at about 50 km/h.
• Denmark: In Copenhagen, a journalist and six other witnesses observed a luminous sphere moving across the sky.
• Italy: Near Monte Terminilli, three 'saucers' were seen by at least five people, including Professor Fausto Porfirio. In Abbiategrasso, two 'flying discs' were observed moving across the sky, leaving light streaks and appearing to rotate.
• Central Italy: A widespread event occurred around 02:30 on August 3rd, described as a blinding light that raced across the sky, illuminating everything. It was accompanied by a tremendous noise, like a powerful explosion. Witnesses described a long, bright object at a high altitude, leaving a light trail. Power outages and radio interference were reported in several areas.
• Switzerland: In Prilly, residents observed multiple luminous points at high altitude moving in a zig-zag pattern, described as too fast and erratic to be aircraft.

The UFO Detector

Ing. Walter Kermann presents a design for a 'UFO Detector'. This device utilizes the fact that UFOs are believed to possess strong magnetic fields. The detector consists of a magnetized needle suspended freely within a metal ring. When a UFO approaches, its magnetic field deflects the needle, causing it to make contact and complete an electrical circuit, which activates a bell. The article provides detailed instructions for building the device, including materials and assembly steps.

Scientific and Philosophical Discussions

The magazine includes letters and commentary from readers and experts:

• H. W. from Royal Oak, Michigan, notes the growing volume of UFO material and expresses anticipation for a new era.
• O. K. from Los Angeles, California, emphasizes the international implications of understanding UFOs.
• Pitt Wettstein, a clinical psychologist from Lima, critiques C.G. Jung's book 'Ein moderner Mythus', arguing that while Jung's contributions to medical psychology are valuable, his expertise does not extend to anthropological-psychological or religious fields, where his rational thinking fails.
• H.C. from Prescott, Ontario, shares his views on the limitations of human understanding and the need for higher intervention, expressing concern about the use of radioactivity and nuclear power.

Scientific Developments and Theories

• Jupiter's Spots: Astronomers at the Hampstead Observatory are concerned about growing unknown spots on Jupiter and a persistent red spot, speculating it could be related to atmospheric disturbances or even activities by Jupiter's inhabitants.
• Foucault Pendulum and Gravity: Professor Maurice Allais's research using a Foucault pendulum suggests that Newton's theory of gravity may be flawed, as subtle variations in the pendulum's swing were observed, particularly during a solar eclipse. This challenges the established laws of gravity.
• Anti-Gravity Research: The magazine mentions various efforts in anti-gravity research, including work by H.G. Wells, Viktor Schauberger's flying disc, and Burkhard Heim's theoretical proof of anti-gravity. Dr. Pagès in Perpignan reportedly demonstrated a flying saucer model that levitated, claiming he could build a spaceship capable of lunar travel.
• Space Race: The article notes the impending launch of a Soviet rocket to orbit the moon and the ongoing competition among nations regarding space conquest and the rules that should govern it.
• Lunar Colonization: Russian scientists are reportedly considering the possibility of establishing underground cities on the moon, utilizing its caves and creating artificial atmospheres.
• US Scientific Commission: A report from President Eisenhower's Scientific Commission on space exploration suggests that while the moon may be lifeless, its surface should not be contaminated, and an H-bomb test there should be abandoned. Photos of the unseen side of the moon might hold surprises.
• General Farrel's Reaction: Following the first hydrogen bomb explosion, General Farrel described it as a terrifying event, realizing humanity had interfered with forces previously reserved for a higher power.
• US Congress and UFOs: The US Congress is reportedly holding secret sessions and hearings on UFOs.
• John L. Cramer's Statement: John L. Cramer, director of General Mills Research, suggested that humanity will reach space by 2000 and that extraterrestrial visitors may already be here, having mastered interstellar travel.

Media Reception of UFO Reports

A survey of responses to Aimé Michel's publication indicates that while most readers were congratulatory, a minority dismissed the idea of spaceships or complained that the extraterrestrial origin was assumed too readily. The magazine 'Science et Vie' noted a demand for detailed, secure, and statistical data rather than sensationalism.

The Right to Know

A commentary from the 'News-Times' in Danbury, USA, emphasizes the public's right to know what their government is doing, criticizing the reluctance of officials to provide information.

'The End of the World' Film

Singer Harry Belafonte is planning a 7-hour film titled 'The End of the World', which will depict the arrival of Martians and the resulting catastrophe.

Fear of the Unknown

The magazine reflects on the human tendency to fear the unknown and extraterrestrial beings, suggesting that while malevolent alien entities might exist, they have been historically thwarted by protective universal forces.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the prevalence and diversity of UFO sightings, the scientific and public interest in these phenomena, and the skepticism and resistance from established scientific and governmental bodies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various accounts and theories while also acknowledging the need for rigorous investigation and data. There is a clear undercurrent of questioning established scientific paradigms, particularly concerning gravity and the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence. The magazine encourages readers to engage with these topics and contributes to the discourse by providing practical tools like the UFO detector.

This issue of UFO-NACHRICHTEN, dated July 1958, is the 12th volume and 30th issue. It features a prominent cover headline "Brüderlichkeit oder Tod!" (Brotherhood or Death!) and includes quotes from "Die Grössere Welt", London. The magazine explores themes of civilization, war, peace, and spirituality, with a strong critical stance on the direction of modern society and politics.

Philosophical and Societal Critiques

The issue opens with a reflection on Giordano Bruno's fate in 1600, contrasting his persecution for heliocentric ideas with the current acceptance of similar concepts, while questioning why true researchers still face opposition. It presents a stark critique of European civilization, calling it a "destruction machine" that consumes its own peoples, eradicates races, oppresses the weak, and is driven by a materialistic, profit-oriented "scientific" rather than a humanistic approach. Rabindranath Tagore (1916) is quoted, describing this civilization as one that sows jealousy and hatred, creating emptiness and worshipping the idol of profit.

Manfred Kyber states that the world, particularly Europe, faces a choice between ascent or annihilation, with no easy middle ground. Pandit Nehru is cited, expressing astonishment that advancements like satellites are occurring in a world still mired in military alliances, arms races, and threats of war, with politics still conducted under "Stone Age conditions."

A quote from Baird Spalding's "Unterweisungen" describes the average person's life as "hypnotic," living according to external perceptions rather than their inner truth, thus being under a "hypnotic spell."

Lord Bertrand Russell warns of grave times ahead, emphasizing the immense responsibility of statesmen. He laments that politics, driven by conventional state interests, prevents leaders from speaking the truth about the dire abyss facing humanity. He foresees a potential total atomic war that could kill hundreds of millions in its first hour.

John O'Neill discusses the evolving relationship between science and mysticism, noting that science is now more open to both as complementary components for understanding nature. However, he points out that science still struggles to grasp or control the immeasurable factors that mystics have relied upon. He observes that scientists have historically rejected aspects of human knowledge that didn't fit their simplified philosophies, yet they could neither eliminate nor prevent these factors from manifesting.

The Threat of War and the Call for Brotherhood

The article "Brüderlichkeit oder Tod!" (Brotherhood or Death!) strongly urges readers to vote for brotherhood, rejecting diplomacy as a means to peace, citing the past failures of politicians. It warns that "free" and "other" worlds have the capacity to destroy Europe and the world with little effort. The author criticizes "fat, round patriots" who have not learned from past wars and are already demanding ransom for a third. The article questions how long people will be deceived by those claiming to be their defenders, who are merely filling their own pockets while leading to the destruction of fields, works, and lives.

It describes the Earth trembling under the weight of madness, with new diseases emerging, oceans poisoned, and marine life perishing. The author questions the sanity of continuing on this path, especially when the very people who claim to defend them are the cause of these dangers. The article poses the rhetorical question of what is left to defend and how it can be done, likening the situation to dancing on a volcano with a "Damocles sword" hanging over humanity, a threat far greater than that of Hiroshima.

It highlights that the current situation is not about defending oneself but about the potential for a catastrophe with 100 million victims in a few hours due to the smallest incident or error. The article criticizes the current state of affairs where reaction is immediate and legitimate on both sides, leading to the destruction of Europe, but framed as correct action. It notes that the existence of hundreds of millions of people hangs by a thread, dependent on the actions of individuals who are likened to acrobats or drunkards.

The text directly addresses the populace, asking what they are doing to stop this, and concludes that they are doing nothing. It states that their work produces weapons, their bones form armies, and their blood feeds wars. The author implores people to shout out their quiet murmurs and act, urging thousands to rise up against the adversaries. It criticizes the continuous development of new evils while people are dormant, observing with bewilderment how nations work to kill and die.

The author questions what people in heaven must think of humanity, where one is paid to preach but punished for obeying the word of God. They question what these celestial beings must think of a "free world" where rockets are gods, barracks are temples, and financiers are the wise. The author expresses disbelief at people striving to destroy their own earth to "defend the homeland," while brotherhood is a crime, hope is a utopia, work is slavery, and freedom is a trap.

Addressing fellow humans of all worldviews, the article urges them to open their eyes and awaken, to realize that the world is not divided by two powers but by a single force of darkness, hatred, and folly. It states that governments are no longer in control but are overwhelmed by events, and their leaders will soon face the same fate as their "flock."

The piece calls for a halt at the edge of the abyss, pleading for the Earth not to remain an eternal battlefield. It urges people to look beyond superficial divisions and recognize their brotherhood, not heroism. The author suggests turning rockets into plows and feeding the hungry with war budgets, as bombs are dropped pointlessly and save no one. The call is to return to brotherhood, or all will perish together amidst patriotic songs.

Finally, it emphasizes that the choice between brotherhood and death will not be made with a pen but with one's heart's blood, for better or worse. It concludes with a powerful exhortation: "Men and women of heart: resist!"

An excerpt from a flyer by R. Garcet from Eben-Ezer, Belgium, who is being persecuted with his family for the "crime of pacifism," is included.

Bibliography of German UFO Literature

The issue includes a bibliography of important German UFO literature available for purchase. This section lists numerous books and periodicals, providing titles, authors, publishers, publication details, and prices. Notable entries include works by Donald E. Keyhoe, George Adamski, Daniel Fry, Dr. Wilhelm Martin, Dr. Gilbert Holloway, Edgar Sievers, Hermann Grettler, and others. It also lists UFO-NACHRICHTEN and WELTRAUMBOTE as periodicals.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the critique of modern civilization, the dangers of war and political brinkmanship, the call for spiritual awakening and brotherhood, and the exploration of UFO phenomena. The editorial stance is highly critical of prevailing political and societal trends, advocating for a radical shift towards peace, understanding, and a recognition of shared humanity over nationalism and conflict. There is a clear emphasis on the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of human existence, contrasting them with the perceived materialism and destructive tendencies of the modern world.
