01bis - UFO Information Belgique - Bulletin Cosmique de G Adamski - 1bis - juin 1964

Magazine Overview

This issue of BULLETIN COSMIQUE from June 1964 (Volume 1, Issue 2) is published by B.U.F.O.I. and is primarily in French. The cover features a sketch with the words 'U F O', 'INFORMATION', and 'BELGIQUE', hinting at the issue's focus on UFOs and related information within Belgium.

Editorial: The Question of Extraterrestrial Life

The editorial section opens with a quote from Guy de Maupassant's 'Le Horla', questioning how we would know if other beings existed and using the analogy of the wind, which is powerful and real but unseen.

The main editorial addresses the question of extraterrestrial life, stating that it is a problem that has not yet been answered. It acknowledges that definitive proof of existence or non-existence is not yet possible because humanity has not explored beyond Earth. The article frames the discussion not as seeking a yes/no answer, but as presenting facts and ideas to explore the problem. It notes that the topic often elicits smiles due to its perceived lack of foundation and the freedom it grants to imagination, but also acknowledges that fear is a valid response. The subject has been explored extensively in science fiction and mathematics, with various theories and even dystopias proposed.

The authors aim to encourage readers to revise their perspectives rather than to find new theories or solidify existing beliefs. They emphasize opening the mind and approaching the subject with a fresh spirit, seeking knowledge. While the focus is on extraterrestrial life, it is presented as part of the larger problem of 'Life' itself, concerning humanity and 'Our Ensemble'.

Articles and Features

Bulletin Cosmique by G.A.

This section, dated March 1964, reports on news from 'the Brothers' encountered since the December bulletin. It discusses a publication from Earth astronomers about the Sun's polarity change and its effect on the solar system, suggesting that our system might be nearing the end of its cycle or undergoing a partial change. This perturbation is believed to affect the mental state of inhabitants on lower planets like Earth and Mars, leading to conditions of instability, fears of catastrophe, and rumors of war, attributed to a lack of understanding of 'Cosmic Principles'. However, the author notes that the system is not necessarily disappearing, and space vessels' instruments do not confirm this.

The article states that over the last 26,000 years, the solar system has traveled approximately 56 trillion light-miles, meaning its position has changed significantly. It references biblical concepts of 'heavens' having beginnings and ends, and quotes Jesus saying 'The heavens and the Earth will pass away'. The exact timing of these changes is unknown, potentially occurring within minutes or millennia. All things in space are active until their destiny is fulfilled.

Space Encounters and Intentions

The author mentions that not all space travelers have good intentions. An incident in Dallas, Texas, in January 1964, involved a piece of metal falling from space and damaging a house. It was reportedly not identifiable as terrestrial and was believed to be from a spaceship that had encountered a hostile vessel from Mars. The damaged ship was said to have returned safely.

The author expresses optimism about future encounters, provided the press publishes such incidents, and states that humanity has 'good allies in space'.

Science du Jour: Ranger Six and Mariner II

This section questions whether the cameras on the Ranger Six mission to the Moon failed. The author was informed that the photos were initially to be shown but then it was announced the cameras malfunctioned. The author finds this suspicious, questioning how engineers could know the cameras would fail minutes before impact, especially since there were six cameras, all allegedly ceasing to function simultaneously. The official reason given was a power source issue, but the author implies this was a cover-up.

The real reason, according to the author, was that the photos would have revealed numerous bases established by space travelers and more convincing evidence of life on the Moon than words. Showing these photos would have caused student revolts and discredited existing scientific authorities. The author suggests this lesson was also applied to astronaut John Glenn regarding his space experiences.

The article asserts that the absolute truth is not readily available due to various reasons, and a full, unedited broadcast of space missions is needed. It claims that if Ranger VI photos had been shown, vegetation and structures on the far side of the Moon would have been identified, suggesting a 'boom' in construction on the Moon.

Regarding Mariner II, the author calls it a 'false report' because it only reached 22,600 miles from Venus. A thick magnetic layer between the spacecraft and Venus's surface prevented photography. The author suggests that if Mariner II had been able to record heat, it might have been caused by friction before reaching the cloud layer, and that the surface temperature might have been around 18°C or even zero, contradicting claims of extreme heat that would cause human blood to boil.

The author questions why space research programs continue if humans cannot withstand Venus's conditions, suggesting that experts may know more than they reveal to the public.

Science Créatrice (Creative Science)

This section discusses scientists exploring the 'domain of life' and the possibility of discovering the 'secret of life'. It suggests this could lead to longer lifespans by slowing aging and potentially awakening memories of the past and understanding the future. The author believes that cosmic intelligence is a code that humans are beginning to understand, a knowledge that has been possessed by beings from Venus and elsewhere for a long time.

The article touches upon DNA and RNA research, stating that the best instruments have been used to discover the secret of life, but scientists have merely applied complex labels to a simple form of life. It explains that cells, the building blocks of life, are composed of smaller units (molecules) that contain exact reproductions of their past and future actions, and are constantly renewed. The author notes that the discovery of cell-to-cell communication, which they predicted in their 'Cours de Télépathie' years ago, is now being made. Each cell has a memory device dating back to its conception, and they can transmit knowledge to each other, forming the foundation of the Cosmos.

The Potentialities of Man and Cosmic Principles

This section emphasizes the potential within humans, composed of trillions of cells and millions of molecules, each carrying a memory of past actions. It suggests that true revelation of this knowledge occurs when the human brain consciously surrenders to perception, as these molecules are conscious entities.

The 'Cours de Science de la vie' aims to teach how to use these conscious entities, enabling individuals to become masters of life, free from disease and aging, achieving a perfect form. This key, provided by beings who 'partially master life', is being imparted to human scientists.

The author addresses the question of positive attitudes, stating that a strictly positive attitude can be stubborn and unbeneficial. For good results according to 'Cosmic Principles', an equal balance of positive and negative attitudes is required, as negation is receptive. The absence of one without the other leads to negative conditions and potentially death, using the analogy of male (positive) and female (negative) to illustrate the necessity of both for reproduction and continuation.

Sections of B.U.F.O.I.

The issue concludes with the administrative details for B.U.F.O.I., listing the Direction-Administration in Anvers with a phone number, and sections in Bruxelles (with Paul Timmermans), Bruges (with Jacques Bonabot), and Louvain (with Pierre Elsen).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the existence and nature of extraterrestrial life, the limitations and potential biases in scientific exploration and reporting (specifically regarding space missions), the concept of cosmic principles governing the universe, and the nature of human consciousness and its connection to cellular memory. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging open-minded inquiry into these profound subjects, questioning established narratives, and suggesting that there is more to reality than what is publicly disclosed. There is a clear emphasis on the importance of understanding life at a fundamental, perhaps even cosmic, level, and a critique of purely materialistic or emotionally driven approaches to knowledge.

This issue of UFO Nyt, dated January-February 1964, focuses on UFO observations in Scandinavia and explores philosophical concepts related to consciousness and extraterrestrial life. It includes a series of reported UFO sightings, discussions on the nature of reality and thought, and a speculative article about a potential space platform around Mars.

UFO Sightings in Scandinavia

The magazine presents ten reports of UFO observations from November 14, 1963, to January 7, 1964, primarily from Denmark and one from Sweden. These accounts describe various aerial phenomena, including objects shaped like rockets with fins, cigar-shaped objects, copper-colored objects with a faint glow, strange orange and reddish star-like objects, a blue-white circular object with a halo, a luminescent disc, satellite-like objects, and an orange object performing maneuvers. Specific details such as altitude, speed estimates, colors, and observed behaviors like rotation, sudden disappearances, and sharp turns are provided for each sighting. The reports often include witness accounts and timings.

The Power of Thought and Cosmic Truth by George Adamski

George Adamski contributes several sections exploring the nature of life, consciousness, and spirituality. He begins by discussing the concept of dualism, stating that life manifestations require the combination of two equal parts, whether positive or negative, and that balance is key to good results. He emphasizes that the law of affinity is the law of equilibrium.

Adamski then delves into the effects of unbalanced thoughts, illustrating with an experiment where a healthy individual was made ill by suggestions of poor health, and subsequently recovered when given positive suggestions. This highlights how the mind can influence the body, leading to physical manifestations.

He further elaborates on the concept of 'Cosmic Truth' versus 'personal truth.' Adamski argues that most people live by personal truths that are agreeable to their ego, leading to varied perspectives. However, he posits that 'Cosmic Truth' is singular and contrary to personal truth, and living by it brings unity and peace. He criticizes the divisions and personal aspirations that characterize humanity, contrasting them with the harmonious existence of beings from other planets who recognize themselves as children of the Infinite Creator.

Adamski also addresses questions about the 'people of Space,' their advanced state, their beliefs, and their family life. He explains that these beings respect each other as family, work harmoniously, and have learned the laws of nature. He states they believe in their Creator and glorify Him through thoughts and actions, unlike many humans who doubt internally despite outward devotion. Their family life is described as similar to ours in conception and birth but more joyful due to collective effort for the common good. They are primarily vegetarian and have abolished the instinct of jealous possession.

Regarding 'ethereal' beings, Adamski clarifies that inhabitants of space are not pure spirits but normal physical human beings. He explains that the 'ether' refers to invisible space and the natural bodies within it, not spiritual entities. He also addresses why their spacecraft seem to disappear, attributing it to changes in perspective or the limitations of human eyes to register objects moving at very high frequencies or speeds.

Mars Space Platform Hypothesis by David Lever

This section features an article by David Lever, proposing that Phobos, one of Mars's two moons, might be an enormous artificial space platform, possibly built by extraterrestrial beings. The article cites scientists like Dr. Fred Hoyle and Dr. O. Fred Singer who consider this theory plausible. The US government is reportedly investing over $55 million in the next 18 months to study this possibility, with the 'Mariner' series of space probes designed to analyze the light reflected by Phobos. If this light is similar to that reflected by aluminum, it would suggest Phobos is artificial. The article notes that Phobos and Deimos were discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877 and are approximately 8 km in diameter, with previous probes having failed to reach their objectives.

Scientific Analysis of 'Angel Hair'

Another article reports on a phenomenon observed in Murchison, Australia, where thousands of 'angel hair' threads fell from the sky. These threads, resembling spider silk, varied in length from one to ten meters and shone in the sun. Zoologists at the University of Western Australia, including Dr. B.A. Main and L.E. Koch, were unable to identify the material as originating from spiders, noting the absence of spiders in the vicinity. Chemical analysis by P. Asctoff suggested the threads were indeed spider silk, with a thickness of 2.5-3 microns. He concluded that the material was not of organic or synthetic origin but contained 'glutamic acid,' leading him to believe it was spider silk.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a worldview that integrates spiritual, philosophical, and scientific inquiry, particularly concerning UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial intelligence. There is a strong emphasis on the power of thought, the importance of balance and equilibrium (dualism), and the pursuit of 'Cosmic Truth' over personal beliefs. The editorial stance appears to be open to speculative theories about space exploration and alien life, presenting them alongside reported sightings and scientific analysis. The publication encourages readers to consider broader perspectives on life, consciousness, and humanity's place in the cosmos.

This issue of "Science et Vie" (Science and Life), dated November 21, 1963, delves into a variety of fascinating topics, ranging from astronomical theories about Mars' moons to the mysteries of ancient technology and potential extraterrestrial influences on early human civilizations.

Phobos: An Artificial Satellite?

The issue begins by exploring the enigmatic nature of Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos. It highlights the difficulties in obtaining clear photographs of these celestial bodies due to Earth's atmosphere and Mars' own light reflection. The article then focuses on the groundbreaking theory proposed in 1959 by Russian astrophysicist J. S. Shklovsky. Shklovsky concluded that Phobos was likely an artificial satellite, possibly made of aluminum, based on four key characteristics:

1. The unusually small size of Phobos and Deimos compared to moons of other planets.
2. Their extremely close orbits to Mars, with Phobos being only 8,000 km away.
3. Phobos's orbital speed being more than three times faster than Mars' rotation, a phenomenon impossible for natural satellites according to prevailing theories.
4. Phobos's orbit is decaying, causing it to approach Mars, a behavior attributed to artificial satellites as well.

Shklovsky's theory was met with mixed reactions from the scientific community. Dr. H. M. Sinton of Yerkes Observatory supported the idea, suggesting Phobos could be a "city filled with men, women, and children" placed in orbit. Dr. Hoyla, an astrophysicist from Cambridge, also found Shklovsky's theory to be the only one that explained the mysteries surrounding these moons. Dr. S. Fred Singer of the University of Maryland agreed, stating that if Shklovsky's figures were correct, Phobos could indeed be artificial and hollow, manufactured by living beings. However, other scientists, like Dr. E. C. slipha, former chief of the Lowell Observatory, found the theory physically impossible to reconcile with the mechanics of placing such a satellite in orbit.

The Antikythera Mechanism: A Glimpse into Ancient Greek Science

The magazine then shifts focus to a remarkable artifact discovered in ancient Greece: the Antikythera mechanism. Housed in the National Museum of Athens, this device, consisting of bronze plates, dials, and dismantled gears, is described as the ancestor of modern scientific instruments. Recovered in 1901 by sponge divers near the island of Antikythera from a shipwreck dating back to the early Roman period (between 80 and 50 BCE), the mechanism's true nature and complexity took over 50 years to decipher.

Specialists had to painstakingly clean the gears, reassemble them, imagine missing parts, and decipher inscriptions. The results revealed a highly sophisticated device that predates similar European inventions by centuries. The mechanism's inscriptions are in ancient Greek, and its astronomical calendar aligns with the knowledge of the time. It featured dials indicating zodiac signs and months, driven by an intricate system of gears. One dial likely tracked the Sun's movement through the zodiac, while another indicated the positions of stars and constellations. The reverse side of the mechanism is believed to have displayed tidal movements and the positions of planets known to the Greeks (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn).

The Antikythera mechanism is unique as the only known example of a graduated scientific instrument from antiquity. Its existence challenges the notion that advanced science is solely a product of modern times, demonstrating a high degree of astronomical knowledge and engineering skill among the ancient Greeks. The article speculates that it might have been powered hydraulically or by hand, and its purpose was to translate cyclical astronomical relationships into tangible movements.

Visitors from Space: Evidence in Ancient Artifacts

The latter part of the magazine explores theories and evidence suggesting extraterrestrial visitation in ancient human history. It begins by referencing the work of astronomer and author Flammarion, who, despite being ridiculed for his ideas, pursued communication with potential extraterrestrial beings.

The article presents several intriguing pieces of evidence:

• Sahara Frescoes: Discovered by a French officer named Brenam and later studied by Professor Henri Lhote, these ancient murals in the Sahara depict human-like figures with round helmets, suggesting they might be wearing spacesuits. Lhote dated these artworks to the 6th or 8th millennium BCE, referring to the period as "the age of round heads."
• Gobi Desert Footprint: A photograph taken in 1959 by a Russo-Chinese paleontological expedition led by Dr. Chow Ming Chen shows a shoe print in sandstone in the Gobi Desert, estimated to be millions of years old. Its size and shape suggest it belongs to a space traveler from a time before humans existed on Earth.
• Polished Steel Block: A 2.75 x 2.75 inch steel block weighing 705 grams was found in the Alps within a coal seam from the Tertiary period. Its composition and origin are puzzling, leading to speculation about its extraterrestrial source.
• Tiahuanaco and the Sun Gate: The article mentions the ancient city of Tiahuanaco in the Andes, known for its unique hieroglyphs on the Sun Gate. Scholars like Posnansky and Hess, and later Epstein, studied these inscriptions, revealing a calendar with a year of only 290 days, composed of 10 months of 24 days and 2 months of 25 days. This calendar is suggested to be non-terrestrial.
• Lake Titicaca: The presence of a well-defined coastline, marine plant remains, and shells in the high-altitude Lake Titicaca suggests it was once a sea, raising questions about geological timelines and ancient civilizations.
• Leningrad Hermitage Cameos: Two Etruscan cameos are mentioned. One depicts a modern-looking diver or someone in a "space suit." Another shows an ancient boat without oars, propelled by "rays," possibly representing a "reaction space" vessel.
• Indian Manuscripts: Ancient Indian manuscripts describe a "solid, heavy metal chest" that served as a generator for a flying machine, using flexible tubes to create propulsion. This description is linked to the non-corrosive iron pillar near the Kutb Minar in Delhi, which has stood for over 1,500 years without rusting.

Stonehenge: An Astronomical Calculator

Finally, the magazine examines Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument in Great Britain. For decades, archaeologists have sought to understand its purpose. Using a Harvard-Smithsonian electronic calculator, Professor G.S. Hawkins was able to reconstruct the sky as it would have appeared to people in the Stonehenge region 4,000 to 3,500 years ago. The calculator revealed that the alignments of Stonehenge's stones correspond precisely to the positions of the Moon and Sun during significant astronomical events like mid-summer and mid-winter. It even indicated the positions of planets and stars. The article highlights at least ten correlations between stone alignments and celestial positions, demonstrating astonishing accuracy.

While some suggest these correlations might be coincidental, the probability is considered extremely low (one in a million). This leads to the conclusion that Stonehenge likely served as a monumental solar observatory and calendar, predicting seasons and lunar eclipses. The article questions the identity of the builders, who, despite living in a seemingly primitive era, possessed advanced knowledge of geometry and astronomy, and the means to transport massive stones from hundreds of kilometers away. The disproportionate effort and planning involved in constructing such an observatory lead to speculation about their origins and the purpose of this structure, which predated medieval cathedrals by three millennia.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of "Science et Vie" revolve around challenging conventional scientific and historical narratives. The magazine explores the possibility of advanced ancient technologies, extraterrestrial influence on early civilizations, and the potential for artificial celestial bodies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting intriguing theories and evidence that push the boundaries of established knowledge, encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations for historical and astronomical phenomena. The articles collectively suggest that humanity's understanding of its past and the universe may be incomplete, with hints of advanced civilizations and non-terrestrial interactions woven throughout history.

Title: Rapports U.F.O.
Issue: Mai 1964
Volume: 36
Date: May 1964
Publisher: BUFOI
Country: France
Language: French

This issue of "Rapports U.F.O." from May 1964 presents a compilation of recent UFO observations from various parts of the world, emphasizing that despite general press silence, reports continue to arrive. The magazine highlights specific incidents from Mexico, Japan, and Belgium, alongside a scientific hypothesis about the origin of these phenomena and a recommendation for a book on flying saucers.

International UFO Reports

The publication begins by noting that UFO reports are still being received globally, with particular emphasis on Australia, Latin America, and the United States. It then details several recent observations:

Mexico

• December 1, 1963 (El Universal): In Zitacuaro, hundreds of people observed strange flying objects moving on a North-South trajectory. The visibility was perfect.
• January 19, 1964 (El Universal): In the same region of Zitacuaro, residents were surprised to see a luminous object moving at high speed from West to East. Fifteen minutes later, a second, identical object was seen moving from North to South at high altitude. Locals speculated about cosmic meeting points.
• February 11, 1964 (Excelsior): A strange bluish object emitting light reportedly fell from the sky over Oaxaca, causing a violent seismic shock and panic. Witnesses described it as resembling a meteorite but were convinced it was not. The incident occurred around 5:30 PM, with many families coming out of their homes after the tremor.
• February 12, 1964 (Excelsior): A strange object was also observed in Tehuacan and neighboring towns.
• February 14, 1964 (El Universal): A strange, luminous, bell-shaped object, described as a "space vessel," was observed over San Diego Chalma Almaloya, San Gabriel de Chilac, and surrounding towns. It emitted sparks that set fire to a house, causing terror and panic. Residents reported the object had significant dimensions and was filled with lights. It reportedly exploded upon hitting the ground. Military helicopters and planes were deployed to investigate.
• February 14, 1964 (El Universal): The same incident involving a luminous, bell-shaped object that set fire to a house is reported, with inhabitants fleeing in terror. The Montes family recounted how the vehicle had burned their home. The event caused widespread panic, with some believing it was an invasion from Mars or the end of the world. Investigations by military aircraft were underway, but information was reportedly "blacked out."

Japan

• June 28, 1963: An unusual flying object was observed over the south of Shiga province. Around 11:30 PM, Mr. Chisashima spotted what appeared to be a group of stars. Later, around 3:20 AM, an ovular object appeared about 40 degrees above the ground, accompanied by four more luminous spheres arranged like a chessboard. The object seemed to change its light. Hotel staff and truck drivers also witnessed the phenomenon. Mr. Chisashima contacted the Hanayama Observatory in Kyoto, which could not confirm the sighting.
• Further details on the Japanese sighting: The light emitted was red, and its apparent size was slightly smaller than the moon. The main light was sometimes replaced by two or three lights in a triangular formation. The object emitted a beam of light, described as intense and either vertical or oblique. The phenomenon lasted until dawn. Local meteorological stations and the Yomiuri newspaper's agency could not provide confirmation.
• June 29, 1963: The spectacle repeated itself around 10 PM and lasted until dawn, this time to the east of the city. The object reappeared later, approaching vertically. Witnesses included Mr. Chisashima's younger brother and people from a service station.

Radio Europe Report

• December 26, 1963: A report mentioned a flying saucer landing in Japan, with a Japanese person reportedly seeing a "man" emerge from the craft, speak in an incomprehensible language, and then re-enter the vehicle before it disappeared. No further information was available.

Belgium

• May 1, 1964 (Le Soir): A flying saucer was reportedly sighted in New Mexico the previous month, with a resurgence of observations in the region.
• May 4, 1964 (Bruxelles): Two witnesses reported an unidentified object in the Brussels sky. Patrick Morlet described seeing a bright, star-like object moving rectilinearly with jerky movements, comparable in speed to a jet plane. Franck Boitte described a luminous point of ruby red color moving rectilinearly from North-South. Both witnesses confirmed the rapid zig-zag movement and the absence of noise or condensation trails. The observations were made between 0:30 AM and 0:50 AM.

Scientific and Cultural Notes

• Moscow Report: Professor Chklovski of the U.R.S.S. Academy of Sciences proposed that UFOs might originate from another solar system. He is known for his theory about the artificial origin of Martian satellites.
• Great Britain: The Prince of Edinburgh is quoted as saying, "I am sure that they (the flying saucers) exist. All evidences point to it. So many have seen them." The article recommends the book "Flying Saucers Have Landed" by George Adamski and Desmond Leslie.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the persistent global reporting of UFO phenomena, the detailed descriptions of observed objects and their behaviors, and the impact these sightings have on witnesses, including fear and panic. The magazine appears to present these reports factually, citing sources and witness testimonies. The editorial stance is one of documenting these events and encouraging readers to share any relevant information with the "Revue BUFOI."
