HOW DID SUFOI START ?


During the summer of 1946, the press started reporting sightings of "ghost rockets". Hundreds of people all over Scandinavia saw these phenomena. What they were has not definitively been established, but a lot of people then seemed to believe the phenomena to be German WW2 rockets captured and launched by the Russians.

The following year, on June 24th, 1947, another story made it to the front page of the papers. From his plane a businessman had observed 9 silvery discos. They travelled between the mountains of the state of Washington. It happened the same year as the US Air Force revealed a commission was established and had solved the ufo mystery. Therefore, the work of the commission was terminated.

However, the ufo commission secretly continued its research. The attempt to cover up interest in the ufo-phenomena by the air force resulted in the establishment of the Danish group "Southern Jutland UFO--Investigation" on December 17th, 1957.

Public reactions to the new ufo-group were enormous. People were very interested in further information on ufos and the group expanded rapidly. Soon the name of the ufo organisation was changed to "Scandinavian UFO Information". A year after the initiation of SUFOI, the organisation started publication of the magazine Ufo-Nyt (Ufo-News).

Today, SUFOI represents a serious and examining approach to the ufo-phenomena.
