09 - BUFOI Magazine - No 09 - mars avril 1966

Magazine Overview

This is the March-April 1966 issue, number 9, of the magazine BUFOI, published by I.G.A.P. (International Get Acquainted Program), an organization dedicated to researching unidentified flying objects. The magazine is published bimonthly and is based in Belgium.

Editorial: In Memoriam Georges Adamski

The editorial is a tribute to George Adamski, who passed away in April 1965. It emphasizes that his death is not an end but a continuation of his message and mission. The author notes that Adamski left an indelible mark and that his declarations are increasingly being verified by ongoing experiences. The editorial suggests that while mockery and sarcasm were easy responses to Adamski, understanding him required an effort to overcome egocentrism. Adamski is portrayed as a great servant of humanity who dedicated his life to his mission. His focus was not solely on the appearance of UFOs, but on the knowledge they brought for the improvement of human life, advocating for a better world through self-awareness and understanding our relationship with the Cosmos.

Georges Adamski: Bulletin Cosmique

This section, attributed to the George Adamski Foundation, reports on a successful meeting held on February 6th in Vista, despite poor weather. It highlights the excellent work being done by collaborators of the 'Frères' (Brothers) program worldwide and the contributions of individuals.

La Necessite des Machines (The Necessity of Machines)

Authored by Jim Entsminger, this article explores whether space travelers use machines for health. While Adamski's writings might suggest that thoughts and fraternal love are sufficient, the article acknowledges that certain circumstances can exceed human endurance. Space travelers have studied the causes and effects of such situations and found mechanical means to mitigate negative impacts. It suggests that beings on all planets are composed of similar chemical elements and have similar nutritional needs, though extraterrestrials are more advanced. The article touches upon the idea that machines might be necessary for them as well, especially concerning the body's chemical components and the need to avoid harmful residues that could produce gases when heated.

UFO-FLASH

This section contains several short articles:

• Des savants Australiens croient aussi à l'existence d'une civilisation extra-terrestre (Australian scientists also believe in the existence of an extraterrestrial civilization): This brief note suggests a growing belief in alien civilizations among scientists.
• Extraits du livre de l'historien Pline l'Ancien (Excerpts from the book of the historian Pliny the Elder): This indicates a historical perspective on UFO-like phenomena.
• Des engins volants extra-terrestres espionneraient la Terre (Extraterrestrial flying craft are reportedly spying on Earth): This article suggests ongoing surveillance by UFOs.

UFO-OBSERVATION

This section likely details specific UFO sightings or observations, though the content is not fully detailed in the provided OCR.

BUFOI-COMMUNICATION: Het Daghet II

This appears to be a communication or report related to a specific event or case named 'Het Daghet II'.

The Advantages of Relaxation

This section presents a lecture by George Adamski from the late 1930s on the benefits of relaxation. Adamski argues that relaxation is not inertia but an active state of receptivity that opens one to the 'Cosmic action' and 'Divine will'. He contrasts this with a state of lethargy, which he deems destructive. True relaxation, he explains, involves a subtle and intense activity within one's being, not indifference. He elaborates on how the body's cells contain potential energy that is often hindered by tension. By reducing this tension through relaxation, cells can vibrate at a higher degree, leading to greater efficiency and well-being. Adamski emphasizes that the ego's resistance and self-interest create tension, hindering the natural flow of energy. He suggests that the path to true happiness lies in non-resistance and acceptance, where actions become effortless and perfect. He concludes that the greatest achievements come from a state of serenity and peace, recognizing oneself as an instrument of cosmic forces rather than their instigator.

Letter from Alice K. Wells

A letter from Alice K. Wells to Gray Barker of 'Saucerian Publications' dated January 26, 1966, is included. Wells, who claims a thirty-year association with George Adamski, questions Barker's intent in writing a book about Adamski, suggesting he doesn't know the facts of Adamski's life. She states she has been asked by various branches of the George Adamski Foundation to write his life story, aiming to provide the truth to genuine seekers. She urges Barker to consider this before writing his book.

Upcoming Articles

The magazine announces that the next issue will feature an article by Melle Munkeberg titled 'Le laboratoire intérieur de l'Homme' (The Inner Laboratory of Man).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the legacy of George Adamski, the investigation of UFOs, and the exploration of consciousness and spirituality. The editorial stance is clearly supportive of Adamski's work and the study of UFO phenomena, presenting them as integral to understanding humanity's place in the cosmos and achieving a better world. The magazine promotes a spiritual and philosophical approach to UFOs, linking them to concepts of cosmic consciousness, non-resistance, and personal transformation. The articles advocate for a deeper understanding of oneself and one's connection to the universe, suggesting that true progress comes from inner development and spiritual awareness rather than purely material pursuits.

This issue of "COURRIER ELITE" is a French-language publication focusing on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and related government and societal implications. It features contributions and quotes from various individuals involved in the UFO community and scientific circles.

Key Articles and Contributions

Ronald Caswell's Perspective

Ronald Caswell, representing IGAP for Great Britain, expresses his awareness that attempts will be made to discredit the photos and information presented in a book (likely referring to Adamski's work). He asserts that personal beliefs cannot alter the reality of these phenomena. Caswell draws a parallel to human history, where new wonders are often met with mockery rather than acceptance due to limited knowledge. He thanks 'brothers from other worlds' for what they have shown him and acknowledges that skeptics will eventually be presented with irrefutable proof of extraterrestrial conquest.

Wilbert B. Smith's Warning

Wilbert B. Smith, a deceased Canadian Government scientist who directed 'Project Magnet,' the first flying saucer observation post, states that he appreciates the efforts to bring facts about flying saucers to public attention. However, he warns that several steps are needed before the public can accept the reality of an 'elsewhere world.' Smith reveals that every nation has been officially informed of the existence of spacecraft and their occupants, and that nations must take responsibility for their official stance.

Government and Military Interest

The article cites Wilbert B. Smith's observations that high-ranking Air Force officers are moderately interested in UFOs. However, due to official discretion and ridicule, many citizens dismiss UFOs as absurdities. The Air Force has allegedly imposed silence on its personnel through an ordinance to conceal facts.

General L.M. Chassin's Call for Action

General L.M. Chassin, retired coordinator of Air Defense for NATO and director of the French civilian organization G.E.P.A., urges governments to take initiative. Instead of ridiculing those who believe in flying saucers, he advocates for the establishment of investigation commissions with the best investigative means in civilized countries. He emphasizes that the purpose of these 'agents' is not necessarily military but that obtaining information about these activities is crucial. He warns that unidentified objects could be piloted by living beings and stresses the importance of not letting the 'conspiracy of silence' suppress news of phenomena that could have incalculable consequences for humanity.

Lord Dowding's Affirmation

General Lord Dowding, former combat fighter squadron leader of the RAF, unequivocally states, "The existence of these machines is evident, and I have admitted them in an absolute way."

The Passing of Georges Adamski

The magazine notes the passing of Georges Adamski on April 23, 1965, at the age of 74. Adamski, described as a controversial Polish-American, was known for his lectures, films, and claims about flying saucers and extraterrestrial contact. The article questions the veracity of his claims, posing whether they are true or possible.

Adamski's Legacy and Theories

Adamski is presented as a figure who will be justified in the near future, surpassing historical figures like Alexander the Great or Napoleon. He is described as a modest amateur astronomer, a philosopher, and an elite lecturer who delivered a vital message for humanity. The text contrasts the geocentric view of the universe with the modern understanding of Earth as a small planet orbiting the Sun within a vast galaxy.

Adamski's book, "A L'intérieur des vaisseaux spatiaux" (Inside the Flying Saucers), published in 1955, is discussed. He described flights in 'scout ships' and 'mother ships' and interactions with wise beings from Venus, Mars, and Saturn. He claimed these beings were benevolent and understanding. Adamski also described a journey to the Moon, which he stated serves as a space base and relay station.

The 'Luciole' Phenomenon

The article details Adamski's account of a trip to the Mojave Desert in 1952, where he met a being from Venus. He also recounts his observations of 'mother ships' and interceptors. Later, the magazine discusses the 'luciole' (firefly) phenomenon observed by astronauts John Glenn and Malcolm Scott Carpenter during their space flights in the early 1960s. Glenn reported seeing luminous particles resembling fireflies, which were explained as water, paint, or condensation from the spacecraft. Adamski's book, published years earlier, described similar 'firefly'-like phenomena in space, which he interpreted as evidence of extraterrestrial activity.

"The Prestige" and Space Sovereignty

The text questions the motivation behind space endeavors, suggesting they might be part of a long-term plan for humanity's survival in a potentially destroyed solar system. It references the use of atomic weapons in 1945 as a form of self-destruction and mentions 'supernatural fighters' seen escorting Allied bombers during WWII.

UFOs in the Public Eye

In 1947, the term 'flying saucers' initially met with astonishment, disbelief, and laughter. Sightings of bizarre flying discs and luminous balls were reported, with experts offering explanations like meteorites or St. Elme's fires. However, the US Air Force established an investigative commission (ATIC at Wright-Patterson Air Field) to study these phenomena.

Adamski's Meetings and Recognition

The article highlights Adamski's global travels, lectures, and presentations of his UFO photographs and films. It details his meeting with Queen Juliana of Holland in 1959, where he was introduced to Prince Bernhard and other dignitaries. Adamski's response to press inquiries about the meeting was, "It is the prerogative of the Queen." He also reported shaking hands with 45 cardinals in Rome.

Vatican and Space Missionaries

An article from the Viennese newspaper "Abend Express" dated July 30, 1964, is cited with the headline: "The Vatican is already training missionaries for space." It suggests that the Vatican, even during Pope John XXIII's pontificate, considered the question of space missions.

Shift in Catholic Church Attitude

The magazine notes a remarkable shift in the Catholic Church's attitude in recent years. Pope Paul VI's travels and gestures of goodwill towards various religious groups, including the absolution of the Jewish people from the guilt of Christ's death, are mentioned. The article suggests a greater freedom within the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy, despite opposition from some within the Curia. Pope Paul VI's 1963 speech is quoted, emphasizing that the new era of space conquest will be blessed if humanity learns to see each other as brothers rather than competitors.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "COURRIER ELITE" strongly supports the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, presenting Georges Adamski as a key figure whose claims are validated by subsequent events and observations. The magazine highlights government interest and secrecy surrounding UFOs, suggesting a cover-up. It also explores the spiritual and religious dimensions of space exploration, with a particular focus on the Vatican's evolving stance and the potential for 'space missionaries.' The overall editorial stance is one of belief in the existence of extraterrestrial visitors and the importance of bringing these phenomena to public awareness, despite skepticism and official denial.

This issue of PRIMHISTOIRE, dated June 1962, focuses on the intersection of myths, legends, and UFO phenomena, with a significant emphasis on the claims and life of George Adamski. The cover headline highlights "MYTHES, LEGENDES ET UFOS" by Lucius Farish.

Theological Discussions on Extraterrestrials

The issue begins by referencing a theological discussion originating from the Vatican in February 1963. The official Vatican publication, "OBSERVATORE ROMANO," pondered the spiritual state of extraterrestrial beings, questioning whether they were aware of sin or if they, like Adam before the Fall, had supernatural gifts. The discussion extended to whether extraterrestrials had also sinned and thus required redemption.

Furthermore, it was reported that Vatican circles were training missionaries, with the "Catholic Faith" aiming to reach distant worlds, even if it took a thousand years. The article suggests preparation for such an eventuality, as it could occur unexpectedly.

George Adamski's Space Travels and Encounters

George Adamski, a prominent figure in UFOlogy, is a central focus. On March 22, 1962, his collaborators received an announcement that he would be taken to a planet inhabited by "brothers from Space" to attend a major conference on universal changes. Adamski reportedly shared his intention to undertake a space voyage.

A "SECRET" report dated June 1962 details Adamski's alleged journey to Saturn from March 27-30, 1962, for a conference of "Twelve Counselors of Our System." The report describes a nine-hour journey in a spacecraft traveling at over 20 million miles per hour. It also mentions a prior encounter on March 24, 1962, at an air base with a high-ranking US government official.

Adamski also recounted a visit to Venus in 1961, which he described as confidential. The article notes that these events were kept secret.

Extraterrestrials Living Among Us

The issue posits that "interplanetary" beings from other worlds within our solar system are assisting in space research and encouraging human efforts to reach the stars. It suggests that these beings have assimilated human clothing and lifestyles, adapting quickly to our primitive means of communication. Their resemblance to humans is so great that it would be difficult to recognize them, except for those who are initiated. Their physical characteristics are described as similar to refined human species, with varied skin coloration that is merely pigmentation and not indicative of division or judgment. They are said to be working globally, stimulating scientific progress.

UFO Sightings and Adamski's Photographs

The article discusses the emergence of flying saucers in public awareness since 1947. While many claimed photographs are deemed dubious or unclear, Adamski's photographs, taken over several years with his astronomical telescope, are presented as the best. They allegedly show detailed shapes, contours, windows, landing gear, and magnetic lenses. The article challenges skeptics, noting that neither Hollywood experts nor military technicians have proven Adamski's photos to be fakes. It also raises questions about how Adamski could have known about certain scientific discoveries before they were made by human scientists, unless he had genuine contact with extraterrestrial intelligences.

Adamski's Legacy and Death

The issue reports on Adamski's continued public activities, including radio and television conferences across the US. It questions the source of his energy and faith, suggesting he believed in God and was approaching the "Divine Intelligence." The article defends Adamski against accusations of being a charlatan, highlighting his ability to influence prominent men and his boldness in confronting experts.

Adamski's final communication mentioned his plan for new conferences in the eastern United States and Europe. Tragically, a letter dated April 24 arrived from California, announcing the death of George Adamski in Washington D.C. on the night of April 23, 1965. He had registered under the name George Adams to avoid publicity. His body was cremated, and he was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Myths and Legends as UFO Evidence

Lucius Farish's article, "MYTHES, LEGENDES ET UFOS," explores how ancient myths and legends from various cultures might contain clues about UFO phenomena. The research involves studying Native American folklore and ancient texts.

Examples cited include:

• The "curious little shell" of Aisemid: An ancient Western tribe spirit who could become invisible at will, possibly aided by a shell, drawing parallels to UFOs' ability to disappear.
• Peruvian demons: The demon Huarivalca, who is still worshipped, is said to have left traces of his presence.
• The "Child of the Storm" legend of the Crow people: A story about a child appearing from a black cloud, who then dissipated into vapor, with a woman giving birth to a green child, suggesting a connection to controlled phenomena and sky beings.
• The "copper canoe" of the Nootka tribe: A story about a god arriving in a copper canoe, teaching humans, and being described as a "fabulous being" partially human, hinting at advanced technology.
• Hiawatha of the Iroquois: His legend includes a "magic canoe" that moved without propulsion and ascended into the sky with melodious sounds, echoing UFO narratives.
• The Acagchemen tribe's ancestor Ouit: A chief who, after becoming old and useless, was poisoned and then returned to the stars from which he came.
• Tezcatlipoka of South America: A god described as the "shining mirror" who descended from the sky on a "spider web" cable, potentially representing a luminous silver disk or UFO.

"Angel Hair"

The phenomenon of "Angel Hair" is discussed as a possible residue from UFO combustion. This white, fibrous material was observed falling from the sky during UFO sightings and would disintegrate within hours, making research difficult.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the potential connection between ancient myths and modern UFO sightings, the theological implications of extraterrestrial life, and the life and work of George Adamski. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded towards UFO phenomena, encouraging readers to approach the subject with an open spirit and to examine the evidence presented, including Adamski's claims and various mythological accounts. The underlying message is that humanity may not be alone in the universe and that these "interplanetary" beings could be guiding humanity towards a greater understanding of the cosmos. The concept of "Humanity" is presented as the ultimate reason for this assistance.

This issue of "UFO - SCIENCE" (pages 32-41) from January-February 1966, published by Flying Saucers Review, explores several intriguing topics related to unidentified flying objects and scientific mysteries. The magazine features articles on the potential involvement of UFOs in prehistoric construction, the statistical phenomenon of 'orthoteny' in UFO sightings, and the complexities of measuring the temperature of Venus.

Des UFOs dans la Préhistoire (UFOs in Prehistory)

This section, authored by M.K. Jessup, a self-proclaimed American scientist, posits the existence of a highly advanced ancient civilization that possessed aerial and space flight capabilities. Jessup suggests that this civilization was wiped out by a catastrophe, with only a few survivors. He believes traces of this civilization can be found in India, Tibet, Egypt, and Central America, particularly in megalithic stone structures and sculpted figures. He questions whether structures like the pyramids were built with the assistance of "flying saucers." Jessup argues that the methods used to transport and place massive stones in ancient constructions far surpassed current mechanical capabilities, suggesting an unknown energy source was employed. He speculates that a unique, possibly mobile, lifting machine or spacecraft was responsible for these feats, and that the sudden disappearance of this technology or its operators remains a mystery.

The Mystery of Ancient Construction Methods

Jessup highlights the immense weight of stones used in structures like Sacsahuaman in the Andes and the pyramids, noting that conventional methods like pulleys, ramps, and sheer human labor seem insufficient. He points to the unfinished statue on Easter Island as evidence of work suddenly halted, possibly due to the loss of a "lifting mechanism." He suggests that the energy required for such tasks would necessitate a power source far beyond anything known today, possibly related to extraterrestrial technology.

Jessup's Theory on Lifting Energy

Jessup proposes that flying saucers influenced Earth's gravitational field, enabling the manipulation of massive objects. He believes the energy source for lifting these stones was suddenly lost, possibly due to the destruction or departure of these advanced craft or beings.

L'Orthoténie (Orthoteny)

Authored by Pierre Elsen, this article delves into the concept of 'orthoteny,' a term coined by researcher Aimé Michel. Orthoteny refers to the observation of UFOs forming rigorous alignments, often over a short period. Elsen explains that this phenomenon challenges conventional explanations for UFO sightings, such as collective hallucinations or misidentified natural phenomena like meteors.

The Significance of Alignments

Elsen presents several examples of orthoteny, detailing specific dates and locations where multiple UFO sightings formed straight lines. These alignments, some spanning hundreds of kilometers, are presented as statistically significant evidence that cannot be easily dismissed by chance. The article notes that the intersection points of these alignments are often where "mother ships" or "flying cigars" have been observed.

Aimé Michel's Evolving Stance

The article discusses Aimé Michel's initial discovery and promotion of orthoteny, but also notes his later reservations. Michel reportedly began to question the precision of some orthotenic studies and suggested that the phenomenon might be a "false trail" or a "trap," leading researchers astray. Despite this, Elsen argues that orthoteny, as a concept, represents a significant starting point for scientific investigation into UFOs, even if it requires further refinement and more precise data.

Scientific Scrutiny and Future Research

Elsen acknowledges that a rigorous scientific approach requires more detailed data, such as the angle of observation, visual size, and exact direction of UFOs. He suggests that triangulation based on more precise observations could help determine the size and trajectory of these objects. He concludes that while orthoteny may not be a perfect science, it has revealed privileged alignments and the tendency for stationary "mother ships" to appear at the intersection of these alignments, offering a valuable starting point for continued research.

La Température de Vénus (The Temperature of Venus)

This section, attributed to "A.B." from the Scientific Department, discusses the challenges in accurately measuring the temperature of Venus. The article explains that while Planck's law can be used to estimate the temperature of celestial bodies based on their emitted energy, Venus presents unique difficulties.

Atmospheric Complications

The thick, unknown atmosphere and clouds of Venus absorb and distort solar radiation, making direct measurement of surface temperature highly problematic. The interaction of the planet's own emissions with reflected solar light creates a complex spectral mix that is difficult to decipher. Furthermore, the planet's rotation and unknown atmospheric dynamics contribute to the complexity.

Measurement Uncertainties

Elsen points out that even satellite measurements might not capture the average temperature due to Venus's atmospheric conditions. The planet's magnetic field also plays a role in retaining ionized particles, further complicating measurements. A key uncertainty remains whether the measured temperatures refer to the surface or different layers of the atmosphere, which can vary drastically.

The Paradox of Temperature

The author concludes by highlighting the multifaceted nature of temperature itself, noting that different types of temperature (kinetic, electronic, rotational, vibrational) can coexist and vary independently. This complexity, combined with the lack of definitive data, means that Venus remains a profound enigma, and current journalistic claims about its temperature (e.g., molten lead or liquid air) are unsubstantiated.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena with scientific inquiry, albeit often through speculative lenses. The articles on ancient civilizations and UFOs reflect a common theme in ufology: the search for extraterrestrial influence in human history. The discussion on orthoteny showcases an attempt to apply statistical methods to UFO sightings, highlighting the ongoing effort to find patterns and order in seemingly random events. The piece on Venus underscores the limits of current scientific understanding when faced with complex extraterrestrial environments. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, encouraging further research while acknowledging the speculative nature of some theories and the need for rigorous scientific methodology.

This issue of "UFO - FLASH" from the first quarter of 1966, published by "Le courrier interplanétaire" in France, focuses on the growing belief in extraterrestrial civilizations and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The cover headline boldly states that Australian scientists believe in the existence of an extraterrestrial civilization.

Australian Scientists Detect Signals from Space

The lead article reports that Australian astronomers, particularly Professor Kellerman from the Parkes observatory in New South Wales, have been actively listening to the cosmos for three years. Following revelations by Soviet astronomers Kardachev and Chklovsky about a 'super-civilization' potentially located light-years away, the Australian specialists are convinced that 'intelligent beings' are attempting to communicate with Earth. The energy source detected at Parkes has been designated "1934-63". While radio-telescope listening has been ongoing globally, the Soviet declarations were the first to link radio sources to the existence of 'super-civilizations', whose progress would be measured by the power of their signals. Only a highly evolved civilization could construct such powerful transmitters. Professor Kellerman revealed that the belief in such a civilization at Parkes is strong, and he plans to discuss these ideas with Soviet scientists in Moscow. The article is attributed to Alfred Nahon and is part of "Le courrier interplanétaire, 1er trim.66".

Ancient History and UFOs

An excerpt from the book "Extraits du Livre de l'Historien Pline l'Ancien" by G. Barbadorg G. Turin, presents historical accounts of unusual aerial phenomena. These include descriptions of "poutros" (similar to Greek SONDE), multiple "moons" appearing simultaneously, "nocturnal suns" illuminating the night, a fiery shield crossing the sky with sparks, and shooting stars accompanied by violent winds. These historical accounts are presented alongside contemporary UFO reports.

Archaeological Discovery in Peru

A report from a recent oceanographic mission in the Pacific, near the Milne-Edward trench off the coast of Peru, details the discovery of what might be an ancient city. Professor Robert Menzies, director of the mission, stated that sonar and cameras detected columns, possibly with inscriptions, suggesting a city submerged centuries before the Inca civilization. If confirmed, this would be a sensational archaeological discovery.

UFOs Surveilling Earth?

An article from Washington, dated March 29, discusses the growing public unease in the United States regarding the periodic appearance of unidentified flying objects. Despite official explanations from the US Air Force and other government bodies, the objects are presenting themselves in various forms, not just "flying saucers". Congressman Gerald Ford has requested an official government inquiry, supported by a private organization, the National Committee for the Investigation of Aerial Phenomena. The committee believes that the numerous global testimonies cannot all be false and suggest that Earth is being observed by extraterrestrial vehicles.

Luminous Bodies and Excavations

Reports from Ann Arbor, USA, mention a circular excavation emitting radioactive particles, discovered near a site where luminous bodies had been sighted in the sky for a week. The excavation is approximately two meters in diameter. Police in Ann Arbor have also received numerous calls about new luminous bodies appearing in the sky, described as red, green, and white.

UFOs in England

An article from "The Sun" newspaper, dated March 3, 1966, details a report by Police Officer Hugh Kenworthy concerning a sighting by Police Agent Colin Perks in Wimslow, Cheshire. Perks described a "flying saucer" that was "terribly frightening". The object was described as the length of a bus, about 30 feet long and 20 feet wide, elliptical in shape, and emitting a grey-green light. It remained stationary for about five seconds before disappearing with a persistent noise. Perks, initially skeptical, found no other explanation and stated that he had contacted local banks and the airport without success.

UFOs and High-Tension Lines

An article discusses numerous UFO reports, particularly those occurring near high-tension power lines. In Fromunt, France, dozens of cars gathered at night to observe objects hovering around these lines. The Jalbert family, living near high-tension lines, reported frequent appearances of "matte orange disks" moving along them. Charlotte Mc Farland reported seeing a red, rounded object descend along the lines, hovering, ascending, descending, and moving erratically.

Further analysis of over 200 reports indicates that 73 instances involved UFOs sighted near or above high-tension lines. A detailed account from Exeter describes Joseph Jalbert, a 16-year-old student, witnessing a red cigar-shaped object from which a smaller red disk emerged. The disk hovered near high-tension wires, extended a silver tube to touch a wire for several seconds, then retracted and flew away. Local coast guards and military personnel corroborated reports of radar interference and aircraft malfunctions, suggesting these events were not hoaxes or misidentifications.

"Delta Volant" or Flying Triangles

An article by W.H. Watson discusses "Delta Volant" or flying triangles. It references a photograph taken on August 1, 1963, by Jan Willemstijn, an ex-KLM pilot and amateur astronomer, of a bizarre UFO above Bushey, England. The object was also seen by others in the London area. The article notes that "Delta Volant" sightings are rare but significant. Since a 1959 article in "Flying Saucer Review", numerous testimonies have been added to existing records. Observations include a "voluminous brown-reddish object" seen in Scotland, described as triangular with a crest and two smaller ridges. Another report from Little Hulton describes a "silent triangular object, white as snow".

The article explores the varied descriptions of these objects, noting that they can appear as disks that change into triangles, or appear discoid to the naked eye and triangular through optical instruments. Some are described as "flying squares". The descriptions are reconciled by an engine with four sides and a triangular aspect, flying with its base forward and apex backward when viewed from above or below, and apex forward when viewed from the side. The article also draws a parallel between these "Delta" craft and a "pyramidal glider with Delta wings" designed by Dr. William F. Hilton for atmospheric entry. At high speeds, these "Delta Volant" craft reportedly emit a vapor trail similar to conical UFOs seen at night, which is typically red-orange. The propulsion might involve a primitive rocket for atmospheric flight, where anti-gravity devices are less effective.

UFO Above Valladolid

Another report details a triangular UFO sighted above Valladolid, Spain, on September 16th. Professor Antonio Felices, a collaborator with the magazine, witnessed the object with other priests. The UFO, described as a "marvelous silver-colored craft" resembling a triangle with an oval in the center, was observed through a telescope. It was located between the stars Beta of the constellation Cepheus and Epsilon of the constellation Draco. The object ascended and disappeared from view. Notably, the base radar at Villanubla air base recorded the UFO's altitude at 23 km and its size as approximately one square kilometer.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently highlights the growing evidence and belief in extraterrestrial intelligence and technology. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and open-mindedness towards UFO phenomena, presenting historical accounts alongside contemporary sightings and scientific inquiries. Themes of communication with advanced civilizations, the diverse forms and behaviors of UFOs, and the potential for technological advancements beyond current human understanding are prevalent throughout the articles. The magazine seems to encourage readers to consider the possibility of a global surveillance by extraterrestrial vehicles and to report their own observations.

This issue of UFO Nachrichten, dated January 1966, is a French-language publication from Germany, focusing on UFO and unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) reports from late 1965 and early 1966. The magazine presents a collection of eyewitness accounts, news clippings, and brief analyses of various sightings and incidents.

Göppingen Sighting: The Glowing Cigar

The cover story details a sighting over Göppingen, Germany, where a resident observed a mysterious "flying object" at dusk. Initially seen as a red fireball with the naked eye, it was later described as a cigar-shaped object with a glowing red tip when viewed through night vision goggles. The object reportedly hovered for an extended period before disappearing and reappearing briefly. The local meteorological services and Stuttgart Airport could not confirm the observation.

Mayence Sighting: Luminous Objects

Reported by F. Kraft, an observation on October 29, 1965, near Mayence, Germany, described several luminous objects. One object, appearing as a bright silver, fast-moving entity, was seen moving from south to north. Another, observed at cloud level, made a large arc. A third object, seen at 7:20 PM, moved rapidly in various directions, described as the size of a medium star. Using a telescope, the object appeared very large with a white front and glowing trails.

Science and Life: The Yellow Telephone

This section, seemingly unrelated to UFOs, discusses the critical importance of communication networks, particularly telephone systems, using the example of a massive power outage in New York City in November 1965. It highlights how the modern world's reliance on information flow makes it vulnerable.

France: D.V.N.I. over Resistencia

An Argentine Airlines pilot reported seeing a D.V.N.I. (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) with powerful lights on November 21, 1965, while approaching the airport in Resistencia, Argentina. The object approached the aircraft to within 100 meters before disappearing. The control tower at Resistencia confirmed the sighting.

Düsseldorf Sighting: Television Interruption

Mme. Annelise Corcoran reported an event on November 9, 1965, in Düsseldorf, Germany. During a television program, the broadcast was suddenly interrupted, and the screen showed an image of a "flying saucer" that moved silently and grew larger. This image repeated three times before the program resumed.

Italy: Power Outage and Naples Sighting

A significant electricity outage affected southern Italy, including Naples, on January 9, 1966, causing widespread panic. The cause of this widespread outage remained unexplained. On the same morning, several residents of Naples reported seeing a mysterious object in the sky, described as a "saucer" moving towards the southeast at a moderate altitude.

France: Bretagne Sighting

In Bretagne, France, a young man observed a luminous, oblong, black object with parts that appeared to be portholes. The object, which was not fully on the ground, moved towards him, causing him to flee. This incident occurred on the evening of January 16, 1966.

Madrid Landing: Carbonized Ground

An unidentified object reportedly landed in the "El Relajal" area of Casa de Campo, Madrid, on February 7, 1966. Witnesses described an orange disc that landed, leaving a nearly carbonized area on the ground, before taking off at high speed. Despite witness accounts, the Madrid Observatory and control tower did not register any UAP.

Michigan Sighting: Multiple Witnesses

Over 20 people, including police officers, reported seeing unidentified flying objects near Ann Arbor, Michigan, on a Monday evening. This was the third such phenomenon observed in less than a week. One witness described a pyramidal object with lights emitting an intermittent red glow. A police officer reported seeing an object with red and green lights that performed a dive.

Georgia Sighting: Cigar-Shaped Craft

An unidentified object was observed for nearly an hour between Columbus and Atlanta, Georgia. An air traffic control employee at Lawson Aerodrome described a brilliant cigar-shaped craft. The object was tracked on radar and appeared to be suspended. A military aircraft was diverted to investigate, but the pilot did not see the object, though it was reportedly in the vicinity.

BUFOI COMMUNICATION: The Silence Group

This section discusses the "Silence Group" (S.G.), described as an "invisible world government" or a "dictatorship of financiers" that allegedly suppresses information about interplanetary traffic. The S.G. is accused of discrediting UFO reports, bribing researchers, and using threats to silence those who investigate. The text suggests that the S.G. promotes mysticism to confuse and create disbelief within the UFO community.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the widespread nature of UFO sightings across different continents and the consistent descriptions of objects, often cigar-shaped or disc-like, exhibiting unusual flight characteristics. There's an underlying implication that these phenomena are real and that official bodies may be attempting to conceal or downplay their significance. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFOs, presenting various accounts without outright dismissal, while also acknowledging the potential for misinterpretation and the speculative nature of some claims. The inclusion of the "Science et Vie" section and the discussion of the "Silence Group" suggest an attempt to connect UFO phenomena with broader scientific and geopolitical contexts, albeit from a perspective that is critical of established authorities.

This issue of V.D.T. (dated September 1965, covering pages 64-71) delves into the perceived conspiracy surrounding UFO phenomena, focusing on the alleged actions of an organization referred to as the 'S.G.' and the potential benevolent intervention of extraterrestrial beings known as 'Broeders' (Brothers).

The S.G. and its Influence

The magazine posits that the S.G. operates in the shadows, manipulating global events and finances to maintain its control. It is accused of deliberately keeping the masses ignorant, hindering progress, and enriching itself through war and peace alike. The S.G. is depicted as fearing a revolution in human thought that would end its grip on power. The text cites R. Pinotti and G. H. Williamson, who describe the S.G. as a force that manipulates governments and capital, and warns against a conspiracy that is 'insidious' and against God and Man.

UFOs and the 'Brothers'

Conversely, the magazine presents UFOs and the 'Brothers' as forces for positive change. Accepting UFOs is framed as a way to end the S.G.'s 'spiritual slavery' and usher in an era of freedom, equality, and brotherhood. The 'Brothers' are described as willing to offer guidance and aid, having overcome similar difficulties themselves. Their acceptance would dismantle the power and prestige of the S.G., leading to a spiritual renaissance where faith and science merge.

Suppression of Truth and Official Explanations

The issue highlights instances where the media, allegedly under the influence of the S.G. or capitalist interests, has been instructed on how to report on UFO-related events, such as lectures by Adamski. The magazine criticizes the 'explain-away' policy of government agencies like the Air Force (A.F./USAF), which it claims consistently provides 'idiotic' explanations for sightings, including balloons, birds, or even sexual symbols, to cover up the truth.

Specific Cases and Allegations

Several cases are presented to illustrate the alleged suppression and distortion of facts:

• Adamski's Lectures: The press in Australia was reportedly ordered to report on Adamski's lectures in a specific way, with publishers admitting to receiving orders they had to follow.
• Zürich as Headquarters: Zürich is identified as the international headquarters of the S.G., with Switzerland's financial ties to the Bank of Switzerland making it a central hub.
• G.A.'s Experience: An individual named G.A. claims to have been discredited by the S.G. but aided by his 'friends from other planets'.
• M. Hallowich Incident: An 18-year-old student allegedly fabricated evidence of a UFO landing by digging pits and breaking branches, a story the magazine uses to illustrate how such events can be manufactured or misinterpreted.
• Chief Watson's Investigation: The Glassboro police chief, Watson, was convinced of a genuine UFO landing, noting pressed leaves and scorched earth, refuting the idea of a prank.
• Horace Burns Case: Horace Burns, a blacksmith, reported seeing a UFO land and found radioactive traces. However, the Air Force report denied the sighting and the presence of radioactivity, with Prof. Gehman suggesting the Air Force NCOs manipulated the Geiger counter.
• Captain Kellian Incident: Captain Kellian and four witnesses reported seeing UFOs, but the A.F. claimed they saw the constellation Orion, later changing the explanation to refueling aircraft. Kellian was reportedly silenced.

Political and Religious Implications

The magazine suggests that the S.G.'s influence is waning due to the rise of socialist countries like Russia and China, which have created a balance of power. The Catholic Church is also mentioned, with the announcement of Vatican training for space missionaries seen as an acknowledgment of the 'Brothers' and a move against the S.G.

The 'Brothers' and the Future

The arrival of the 'Brothers' is presented as inevitable. The magazine cites reports from the 1950s and 1960s, including statements from individuals like G.A. and Madeleine Rodeffer, who claimed contact with extraterrestrials. The issue mentions that at least two governments (American and English) are aware of the truth about UFOs but fear public panic. The magazine concludes that the S.G. is fighting a losing battle and that the 'Brothers' arrival is imminent, heralding a new era of truth and openness.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The central theme is the conflict between a hidden, controlling force (the S.G.) that thrives on deception and ignorance, and benevolent extraterrestrial visitors ('Brothers') who seek to reveal truth and promote progress. The editorial stance is strongly pro-UFO and pro-'Brothers', critical of government and military cover-ups, and advocating for transparency and a shift away from capitalist exploitation towards a more equitable system. The magazine views the acceptance of UFOs and the 'Brothers' as essential for humanity's spiritual and societal evolution.
