  • SUFOI's Årsrapport 2021
    SUFOI Årsrapport 2021 Hvad betyder ufoerne? Pentagon vil undersøge UFO’er igen Bob Lazar – whistleblower eller platugle? Skaber corona-pandemien flere ufooplevelser? Januar 2021 Kære støttemedlemmer og æresmedlemmer SUFOI har hermed fornøjelsen af at sende dig SUFOI Årsrapport 2021. Indholdet repræsenterer et udpluk af de mange artikler og notitser, som er blevet bragt i de 20 UFO-Mails, vi har udsendt i det forgangne år. I en tid præget af internettets forstoppelse med fake news og konspirationsteorier søger mange mod troværdige nyhedsmedier. De danske nyhedsmedier anser avisen The New York Times for at være en af de mest troværdige kilder og citerer flittigt derfra. I SUFOI deler vi ikke denne opfattelse – i hvert fald ikke, når det gælder seriøs information om ufomyten. Det er avisens blåøjede behandling af To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTAAS) og de såkaldte Pentagon-videoer (gammel vin på nye flasker) skræmmende eksempler på. Ralph Blumenthals og Leslie Keans ensidige og naive formidling af ufomyten i New York Times gavner kun avisens click rate på nettet. At danske medier heldigvis også kan distancere sig fra det sensationsprægede og letbenede er der to gode eksempler på: videoen Hvad viser Pentagons UFO-videoer? (05:48 min.) på DR Nyheders YouTube-kanal samt podcastserien Flyvende tallerken på DR. SUFOI markerede sig i medierne i 2020, bl.a. med en fremragende illustreret artikel i Information baseret på Mathias Sindbergs nuancerede og grundige interview med Ole Henningsen: Ufoerne er tilbage! For når verden virker usikker, er det fristende at rette blikket mod himlen (kræver abonnement). Ole var også på pletten med en 51 minutter lang podcast på Radio4: Tæt på himmelrummet – UFO-detektiven på Lolland.

Alcune immagini presenti in questo libro sono state reperite da internet. In caso si riscontrino delle violazioni di copyright chiedo che mi si faccia apposita comunicazione, e sarà mia cura apportare le modifiche del caso. 4 Introduzione Sono passati diciott’anni da quando scovai in una libreria in Romagna (ero un diciannovenne in vacanza al mare con gli amici) il libro Communion di Whitley Strieber. L’inquietante copertina, che presentava un disegno del volto di un ipotetico alieno, mi colpì molto ed iniziai a sfogliare il volume per capire di cosa si trattasse. L’introduzione del libro di Strieber recitava così: “Quando leggerete questa storia incredibile non siate troppo scettici: in qualche punto del vostro passato potrebbero esserci delle ore perdute o degli strani ricordi: forse anche voi avete avuto quest’esperienza. Questo libro vuol essere un tentativo di stabilire un rapporto nuovo con l’ignoto. Invece di evitare il buio, possiamo affrontarlo decisi, con mente aperta. Allora, l’ignoto si trasforma. Quel che ci atterriva diventa comprensibile e ci propone una nuova verità: l’enigmatica presenza della mente umana ci risponde, ammiccante, dal buio.” Rimasi molto affascinato da quelle parole e decisi di acquistare il libro per approfondire la vicenda. Da li iniziò la mia avventura nel mondo dell’Ufologia e dei Fenomeni Connessi. Cominciai a divorare libri, riviste, programmi televisivi, conferenze e tutto ciò che era inerente l’argomento degli Oggetti Volanti Non Identificati.
