12 - BUFOI Magazine - No 12 - nov dec 1966

Magazine Overview

This issue of BUFOI, dated November/December 1966, is identified as issue number 12. The magazine is published by BUFOI and is priced at 200 FB. The cover prominently displays the title 'BUFOI' and features a striking black and white image of a metallic, possibly UFO-like object. The subtitle indicates that BUFOI operates within the framework of the worldwide research organization for unidentified flying objects, I.G.A.P. (International Get Acquainted Program), and that it is published every two months.

Avant-Propos (Foreword)

The foreword, attributed to Patrick Morlet, announces a change in the presentation of BUFOI starting with this November/December 1966 issue. BUFOI is now working within the international organization IGAP, founded by George Adamski. Each country's IGAP branch is independent, publishing its own magazine. However, to unite efforts more closely, IGAP has decided that all general information, research, and activities related to UFOs will be published in a single English-language review, edited by Major Hans C. Petersen and Ron Caswell. This English review will be translated entirely into French and published by BUFOI. In addition to the translation, BUFOI will also publish information relevant to the national context. The foreword highlights recent achievements, including interviews, press articles, and conferences. A future goal is to print the review, enhancing its presentation. The editors express gratitude to readers for their support and constructive criticism.

Editorial: But et Champ d'action (Purpose and Field of Action)

This editorial dedicates the review to M. Georges Adamski, the founder of IGAP in 1959. The core idea of IGAP is to provide people worldwide with knowledge about flying saucers and to encourage them to discover the truth of the present times and accept themselves as citizens of the Cosmos. The editorial emphasizes learning the 'Science of Life' through the understanding of cosmic laws, as revealed by friendly visitors from other worlds. The magazine is sent to civil and military authorities, UN leaders, the Vatican, scientific circles, and the press. Its purpose is to disseminate news of events globally, offering value in helping humanity understand what is happening. It aims to uncover initiatives that support this truth, which has been accepted by some but not yet officially recognized. Key points include: 1. Visitors from other solar system worlds are visiting Earth. 2. These visitors are in contact with political and scientific circles in the East and West. 3. People from all walks of life have been contacted, with these contacts kept secret until now. 4. George Adamski's philosophy is seen as a guide to understanding our origins and future destiny. The review states it will not attempt to combat anyone, but will present the truth in all its forms, allowing individuals to decide for themselves.

The editorial further clarifies that the review is apolitical, antireligious, and non-profit. It encourages readers to share their thoughts, suggestions, or criticisms. The editors express hope that readers will find value in the publication.

Editorial (Continued)

The second part of the editorial reiterates that the magazine aims to bring news to both the humble and the powerful without condescension or subservience. It suggests that concepts of power and humility are temporary in an infinite existence where balance and learning are paramount. The magazine addresses readers directly, acknowledging that no single person knows everything. It advocates for consideration and an open mind rather than apathy or pride when encountering new information. The publication intends to share news of events that could signify a complete change in how people live. It stresses the importance of sincerity in its efforts to inform a world that is ignorant or skeptical about visits from other planets. The editors acknowledge that presenting this truth may sometimes shock or challenge established beliefs, but they caution against dogmatism, which can lead to authoritarianism. In a world increasingly weary of blind traditionalism and unjust laws, they urge a careful examination of radical ideas and a willingness to listen to opposing arguments.

The editors request readers to voice their grievances and criticisms constructively, and to offer compliments if they find value in the review. They state that this approach leads them to address an institution that has been a source of dogma for centuries: the Catholic Church and its head, Pope Paul VI. They acknowledge that this institution, founded and built by humans, is susceptible to error, yet its claim to follow divine teachings gives it authority. Despite historical periods where its discoveries were challenged and fundamental errors were exposed, the institution is widely accepted as absolute truth. The editors clarify that their intention is not to dwell on past errors but to recommend sincere respect for an institution that is beginning to adapt to a changing world, shedding intolerance and prejudice.

Lettre Ouverte (Open Letter)

This open letter, dated October 1966, is addressed to Pope Paul VI. The authors, identifying themselves as seekers of truth from various peoples united by a common idea, commend the Pope's recent travels for peace and understanding. They note his efforts towards unity in Christian churches and his interventions during the Vatican Ecumenical Councils, which have influenced Catholic doctrine and encouraged more tolerant, indulgent, and humane viewpoints. They also acknowledge the significant contributions of Pope John XXIII. The letter expresses gratitude for the privilege of knowing George Adamski, whom they believe has greatly contributed to a new understanding within the Church. They recall an audience granted to Adamski by Pope John on May 31, 1963, where Adamski, acting as an intermediary, conveyed highly confidential information to the Pope. The subsequent award of a pontifical gold medal to Adamski is seen as a gesture of great value. However, the authors feel that Adamski is generally unrecognized, and that this recognition will likely come too late, similar to many historical figures. They believe that for Adamski, earthly recognition was not the primary goal. They reference the Pope's public statement from June 23, 1963, which spoke of a new era opened by space exploration, blessed by the Lord if humanity learns to recognize each other as brothers rather than competitors. The authors suggest that the Pope's words alluded to something that transcends the majority of his listeners and readers, pointing to a new concept of space frontiers.

George Adamski: La Visite de 1963 au Vatican (The 1963 Visit to the Vatican)

This section details George Adamski's journey, which began on Sunday, May 12, 1963, near Copenhagen. The author recounts his own involvement, starting a week earlier on May 5, when he attended the Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI) Congress in Frederica, Denmark, as the sole British delegate. He describes Adamski's engaging conversation with Major Hans Petersen and others, which was well-received by the Danish audience. The author had a brief private conversation with Adamski, during which Adamski mentioned his upcoming travels to Finland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and finally Rome. A journalist interviewed Adamski, noting the uncomfortable overlap between flying saucers and religion, despite denials. Adamski responded seriously, stating, "The flying saucer is a scientific object and not religious. I am not proselytizing for a religion."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of UFOs, the concept of cosmic citizenship, and the potential for a new understanding between humanity and extraterrestrial visitors. The editorial stance is one of open-mindedness, a pursuit of truth, and a call for critical yet receptive engagement with new information. The magazine positions itself as a neutral platform, apolitical and antireligious, dedicated to informing the public and fostering a broader perspective on existence. There is a clear emphasis on George Adamski's role as a pioneer in UFO contact and his connection to spiritual and cosmic themes, as exemplified by his interaction with the Vatican. The issue also touches upon the intersection of science, religion, and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact, advocating for a unified and peaceful future for humanity.

This issue of "UFO Nachrichten" (Issue 12, Volume 1, dated 1963) details the European travels and alleged encounters of UFO contactee George Adamski. The magazine focuses on his journey through Denmark, Belgium, and Italy, culminating in a purported private meeting with Pope John XXIII.

Adamski's European Tour and Encounters

The narrative begins with Adamski expressing his views on religion, stating his belief in a Supreme Creator but disliking fanaticism. He mentions a potential trip to Belgium and Rome, and when asked if he would speak with the Pope, he humorously suggests he might speak with some cardinals.

During a private conversation with Major Petersen in Denmark, Adamski expresses gratitude for the European tour, emphasizing its importance for an upcoming significant meeting at the Vatican. He hints at the possibility of meeting 'Orthon,' a Venusian contact, who has allegedly visited the Vatican three times previously.

Adamski's itinerary included a visit to Copenhagen, Denmark, where he met with Danish UFO authorities. He stayed in a small hotel on the island of Amager to ensure privacy. An anonymous, typed note was delivered to his room warning him not to go to Finland due to 'propaganda' and 'trouble.' Despite this, Adamski proceeded with his plans, visiting Tivoli Gardens before departing.

The following morning, Adamski reportedly had another encounter with a 'man from space' near a pier. This individual, whom Adamski had met in the US in 1958, explained the situation, leading Adamski to cancel his planned trip to Finland. The space being belonged to a group of 20 operating globally, with 10 active in Europe at the time.

Antwerp and the 'Space Man'

In Antwerp, Belgium, Adamski's sudden change of plans caused some logistical issues for the Belgian UFO group, led by May Morlet. Despite this, Adamski gave several talks and private discussions in Antwerp. A notable incident occurred in a restaurant where Adamski pointed to a man across the room and declared, "He is a man from space." He identified this man as the same individual he had met in Copenhagen. This identification was later corroborated by May Morlet, who recalled seeing the same man in Antwerp.

Adamski's entourage in Antwerp included Dora Bauer, his collaborator from Austria, and later, May Morlet and Lou Zinsstag from Switzerland, who would accompany him to Rome.

The Vatican Audience

The group traveled from Bâle to Zurich and then flew to Rome, checking into the Albergo Auriga. After settling in, Adamski, accompanied by May Morlet and Lou Zinsstag, visited St. Peter's Square. Adamski then made his way to a private entrance, where he was met by a man in dark attire. He was led to a private apartment, assisted into papal attire, and then taken to a room where Pope John XXIII was resting. Adamski presented a sealed package given to him by the 'space man' in Copenhagen. The Pope, upon receiving it, reportedly smiled and said, "That's what I've been waiting for." They had a brief conversation, with the Pope assuring Adamski, "My son, don't worry, we'll get there."

After receiving the papal blessing, Adamski was escorted out. He later described the experience as "extraordinarily important for the humanity of this planet."

Post-Audience and Pope's Passing

Following the audience, Adamski and his companions had a meal and witnessed a street accident. Later, in their hotel, a dignitary from St. Peter's Basilica delivered a small white case to George Adamski. Inside was a gold medal with the effigy of Pope John XXIII on one side and a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit on the other, inscribed with "CONCILIUM OECUMENICUM VATICANUM II. UT UNUM SINT." The case also contained an inscription with the date and Adamski's name.

The following day, Adamski showed the medal to his companions. The inscription on the medal translates to "Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. That they may be one."

Adamski later insisted that the Pope did not appear to be dying, despite his weakness, and believed he would recover.

'ET UNUM SINT' and the Pope's Legacy

On Monday, May Morlet departed for Brussels, and Adamski was scheduled to fly to London. On June 3, 1963, Pentecost Monday, Pope John XXIII passed away. His final message, "ET UNUM SINT" ("That they may be one"), is presented as a prayer for the unity of churches and a call to a vast Cosmic Fraternity.

Scientific Musings on Space and Solar System Activity

The latter part of the magazine delves into Adamski's views on space and solar system activity, contrasting them with conventional scientific understanding. Adamski challenges the notion that other planets are devoid of light and heat, arguing that solar radiation behaves differently in space. He describes space as a dark void filled with luminous particles and gases. He posits that solar radiation, composed of various rays, is filtered by planetary atmospheres, exciting particles to emit visible light. Adamski suggests that planets receive energy through mechanisms involving asteroid belts, which act as accumulators and distributors of solar energy, creating conditions suitable for life.

He proposes that the asteroid belts play a crucial role in balancing the solar system's conditions and maintaining equilibrium with external systems. Adamski controversially suggests that it is possible to travel to any planet in our solar system and find similar climates and atmospheres to Earth's, implying a misunderstanding of gravity by scientists.

Adamski explains his theory using the analogy of a cathode ray tube, where electrons are attracted by positive charges. He suggests that the asteroid belts, with their negative charge, attract solar particles, which are then accelerated and distributed. He describes a process where particles are attracted, processed, and then radiated, creating conditions for life. He also touches upon the idea of cosmic cycles of birth, growth, and extinction, comparing matter's transformation to ice turning into vapor.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "UFO Nachrichten" strongly features George Adamski as a central figure, presenting his accounts of extraterrestrial contact and his alleged meeting with Pope John XXIII. The editorial stance appears to be one of reporting and disseminating Adamski's claims, with a critical but open approach to his controversial statements. The magazine also includes a section dedicated to scientific speculation about the solar system, aligning with Adamski's unique cosmological theories. The passing of Pope John XXIII is framed within this context, linking his final message of unity to a broader cosmic fraternity.

This issue of "PRIMHISTOIRE" (Issue 25, dated April 21, 1966, published by the Daily Mirror) delves into speculative and controversial theories about the universe, ancient civilizations, and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. The cover headline poses the question: "CES PIERRES ETAIENTELLES REELLEMENT DES ORDINATEURS?" (Were Stones Really Computers?).

The Cosmos and Extraterrestrial Life

The issue begins with an essay by George Adamski, who muses on the cyclical nature of matter in the universe, suggesting that after returning to a gaseous state, matter can reform into new planets or parts of existing ones. He posits that the continuous exchange between planets naturally leads to similar materials and life forms across the cosmos, with billions of star systems existing in galaxies. Adamski highlights that new, hotter stars are found at the center of galaxies, while cooler stars towards the periphery host planetary systems. He notes that in these colder regions, billions of planets with life are possible, evidenced by vast clouds of oxygen and hydrogen observed through advanced telescopes. Our own solar system, he states, is just one star among 100,000 million in the Milky Way, suggesting countless inhabited planets could exist within it. Adamski criticizes humanity's anthropocentric view, urging a reawakening to the possibility that Earth is not unique, especially in light of UFO sightings and space exploration.

Fred Hoyle's Theories on Extraterrestrial Intelligence

The magazine then features an adaptation of a book by Fred Hoyle, a renowned astronomer. Hoyle's theories are described as radical and potentially controversial. He suggests that among the trillions of stars, many must have planets with conditions similar to Earth. This leads to the expectation of encountering intelligent beings very similar to ourselves, possibly with similar biological structures like eyes and skeletons. Hoyle acknowledges the immense challenges of interstellar travel but believes communication is feasible. He proposes using radio telescopes for transmission and reception, suggesting that messages could reach nearby stars within years, and with greater power, could reach thousands or millions of stars. He speculates that a neighbor might relay messages, making communication possible within centuries, a long-term project for humanity.

Ancient Mysteries and Possible Extraterrestrial Influence

The latter part of the issue shifts focus to ancient mysteries and potential extraterrestrial influences on early human civilizations. It questions whether ancient myths and interventions from 'outside' have left signs. The article discusses the work of Professor Homet, who suggests a connection between ancient cultures across the globe, particularly between archaic cultures of the Americas and those of Celtic and Ibero-Mesopotamian civilizations. Evidence cited includes recurring motifs like the 'walking sun,' pyramid constructions, red-painted skeletons, portrait urns, and megalithic structures found worldwide.

Stonehenge as a Prehistoric Computer

A significant portion is dedicated to Stonehenge, described as a strange accumulation of massive stones in Salisbury Plain that has become a source of scientific controversy. Professor Gérald Hawkins, in his book "Stonehenge Decoded," proposes that the stones are arranged in a way that indicates astronomical points of interest, such as the summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice moonrise. More controversially, Hawkins concludes that the stones represent a computer that determines the epochs of lunar eclipses. This theory has drawn criticism, with Professor Richard Atkinson calling Hawkins's book "terribly disappointing" and arguing that the astronomical factors at Stonehenge are unlikely to be coincidental.

The Concept of a Primordial Civilization

The issue explores the idea of a single, great, possibly extra-terrestrial civilization that existed on Earth in the distant past. This civilization, it is suggested, possessed immense spiritual power and left its mark on numerous legends and myths. The article questions the conventional evolutionary model of human societies, suggesting that other types of civilization might have existed. It highlights similarities between the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Egyptian Book of the Dead, particularly concerning descriptions of the Last Judgment and the journey through the 'bardo' (the transitional phase between death and rebirth), suggesting a common, unknown origin.

Cross-Cultural Parallels and Symbolism

The text points out striking parallels between various ancient cultures, including the Masma culture's depictions of four races and prehistoric animals, and the geographical knowledge found in Pirf Reis's maps. It notes that the spiral, representing the universe and life, is a concept found in many ancient peoples. The article also draws parallels between Brahmanical and Tibetan cosmographies and modern scientific understanding, and mentions the concept of multiple worlds and systems. The DNA double helix is compared to the double-spiral symbol of fertility and health found in ancient traditions. The article also touches upon the idea of reincarnation and the cyclical nature of existence, linking it to the concept of karma.

UFO Sightings and Ancient Knowledge

The issue includes a mention of Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of Pluto, who reportedly saw a UFO. His description of a "circular formation of rectangular lights" observed in 1949 near Las Cruces, New Mexico, is presented as evidence of unexplained aerial phenomena. The article also references a quote from Professor Homet questioning the origin of names like 'ATL' and 'ATLAS' in ancient civilizations, suggesting a basis for such terms that has not been adequately explored.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the vastness and potential interconnectedness of the universe, the possibility of extraterrestrial life and intelligence, and the search for evidence of advanced ancient civilizations, possibly influenced by non-human sources. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry into speculative theories that challenge conventional scientific and historical paradigms, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond established norms. The emphasis is on exploring the 'marvelous' and the 'infinite' aspects of existence, both cosmic and historical.

Title: UFO-REPORTS
Issue: 39
Volume: 3
Date: October 1966
Publisher: UFO-REPORTS
Country: Netherlands
Language: Dutch

This issue of UFO-REPORTS delves into the intersection of ancient mysteries, mythology, and modern UFO phenomena. It posits that many unexplained historical events and artifacts point towards advanced prehistoric civilizations with knowledge of space travel and extraterrestrial contact.

Ancient Civilizations and Cosmic Knowledge

The magazine explores the idea that ancient cultures possessed advanced knowledge, often dismissed as myth or legend. It begins by questioning how ancient peoples could have known about phenomena only recently discovered by modern science, such as the moons of Mars or the details of the Sirius system.

Etruscan Inscriptions and Linguistic Comparisons

An example is given of approximately 9,000 Etruscan inscriptions that were compared with languages worldwide, revealing no apparent kinship. The text suggests that a deeper comparison, potentially including American languages, might yield more insights.

Primordial Facts and Extraterrestrial Life

The article highlights 'primordial facts' concerning space, the cosmos, and extraterrestrial life. It suggests that these facts point to either an advanced terrestrial civilization capable of cosmic travel or the intervention of extraterrestrials, or both. The author laments that most scientific disciplines are reluctant to investigate these claims, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach involving archaeologists, anthropologists, geologists, astronomers, psychologists, and ethnologists.

Myths, Legends, and Space Travel

Numerous myths and legends are presented as evidence of ancient space travel. A Scandinavian saga, detailed in Professor Homet's work, speaks of a mortal invited to another planet where time passed differently. Similarly, Indian traditions, like the Ramayana, are cited for their descriptions of flying machines called 'vimanas' and journeys to other worlds. The text also suggests that biblical accounts, such as those in Ezekiel, can be interpreted as evidence of extraterrestrial intervention.

The Dogon Tribe and the Sirius System

A significant portion is dedicated to the Dogon tribe in Mali, who are said to possess more knowledge about the Sirius star system than contemporary astronomers. They reportedly know about the system's three suns and the composition of one of its companions, 'Sagolu,' described as a metal denser than iron. This knowledge, particularly about Sirius B, which was only discovered in 1862, predates modern scientific understanding.

Ancient Astronomical and Technological Evidence

Further evidence includes the 'black sun' mentioned in the Popul Vuh, and references to MU as a primordial space entity married to the Goddess NUT. The text questions how ancient cultures could possess such knowledge without modern telescopes or scientific equipment. It also points to the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, suggesting they might be artificial, referencing calculations by Shklovsky and Fouere, and noting that J. Swift mentioned them in 1726. The article claims that ancient civilizations like the Sumerians, Homer, and Virgil knew about Mars's two satellites.

Sumerian Civilization and Extraterrestrial Influence

C. Sagan's assertion that the Sumerian civilization was established by extraterrestrials is mentioned. The text also highlights the extensive knowledge of time and space found in Hindu scriptures, suggesting advanced concepts that align with modern scientific understanding.

Flying Machines and Ancient Descriptions

Discussions on ancient flying machines, or 'vimanas,' are presented, with references to their speed potentially exceeding that of light. The article also mentions drawings resembling astronauts and spacecraft found in caves, such as those in Tassili-n-Ajjer, and similar figures found in Ferghana and Ouzbak. 'Rare' pottery from Glozel (1924) is described as depicting flying saucers and figures in spacesuits, dated to approximately 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Mineral Spheres and Ancient Calendars

Other examples include mineral spheres discovered in Guatemala, some interconnected, possibly representing planetary systems. The 'sun gate calendar' from the Tiahuanaco temple in Bolivia is presented as a 12-year calendar for Venus, with a Venusian day equivalent to 9 Earth days. Pirî Reis maps are also discussed, suggesting they could only have been created with aerial observation and advanced techniques.

The Nazca Lines and Aerial Views

The giant drawings on the Nazca Plateau in Peru are described as being visible only from high altitudes, depicting landing strips, solstitial lines, and large figures like birds. These are presented as evidence of advanced ancient knowledge or activity.

M. Agrest's Conclusion on Extraterrestrial Visits

Russian scientist M. Agrest is quoted stating that many unexplained natural phenomena would be understandable if Earth had been visited by space travelers. This conclusion is based on evidence found near the Trilithons of the Ba'albek temple terraces and data concerning the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The 'Lost Method' of Transmission

The article references the work of J. Bergier and L. Pauwels, who suggested that ancient magical and religious rites, along with vast amounts of ancient literature, might contain clues to a lost method of transmission of knowledge.

UFO Reports and Radar Detection

Mysterious Object Detected by Radar

A significant section details a UFO sighting in Columbus, Georgia, on March 28, 1966. An air traffic controller reported seeing an oblong, luminous object moving high in the sky, which was also detected by radar. Six police officers and another controller at Fort Benning also witnessed the object. Doyle Palmer, an air traffic controller, first spotted the greenish-white, cigar-shaped object around 5:30 AM and tracked it by radar for over an hour. He estimated its altitude at approximately 5,000 feet (1,500 meters). Initially thinking it was a star, he realized it was not as stars cannot be detected by radar. After sunrise, the object remained visible, appearing as small as a pinhead and moving southeast.

UFO Sighting in Ottawa

On June 24, 1965, during the International Day of Flying Saucers, Michel Cleary, an 18-year-old student in Ottawa, Canada, observed a very bright light in the sky. The object flew parallel to his car and then performed several maneuvers, including turning 180 degrees, passing over two presumed aircraft, and returning at high speed. Cleary retrieved binoculars and observed the UFO for another 12 minutes, estimating its size to be comparable to a jet interceptor.

Ancient Legends and Possible Extraterrestrial Connections

Prehistoric Flight and Ancient Civilizations

The article "LE NOMBRIL DU MONDE OU L'HISTOIRE DE L'HUMANITÉ" by Marcel F. Homèt questions whether evidence of flight technology exists in prehistoric civilizations. It challenges the notion that prehistoric times were solely characterized by primitive tools and survival, presenting numerous documents that suggest otherwise.

The 'Sons of the Sun' Trilogy

Homèt's research is presented as a trilogy: "Les Fils du Soleil" (The Sons of the Sun), "Sur les traces des Dieux du Soleil" (On the Trail of the Sun Gods), and "Le Nombril du Monde" (The Navel of the World). These works explore the existence of immense solar or cosmic calendars studied in Peru, Bolivia, and Egypt, as well as structures and stone instruments found in Peru and Bolivia.

Flying Machines and Cosmic Cataclysms

The reports from various peoples often refer to flying craft associated with battles or massive terrestrial destructions. The author suggests that these facts point to a superior civilization that existed in relation to the cosmos, which disappeared due to cosmic cataclysms, possibly triggered by 'sorcerer's apprentices' playing with atomic bombs.

Ancient Knowledge Without Technology

The text repeatedly poses the question of how ancient peoples acquired such detailed knowledge without telescopes or advanced scientific observation tools.

The 'Sacred Thumb' and Ancient Measurements

It discusses the 'Sacred Thumb' from the Near East and Egypt, claiming it is more precise than the modern meter and was used to construct pyramids and Noah's Ark, suggesting Sumerian origins.

Collective Unconscious and Ancient Wisdom

Carl Jung's concept of a collective unconscious is invoked, suggesting that a collective soul, carrying unconscious ideas from primitive times, influences modern conceptions and science. This collective soul is seen as a plausible carrier of ancient knowledge.

Ancient Music and Rituals

Professor Louis Massignon and Dr. Walter Wiora are cited regarding the existence of music from the Stone Age, associated with troglodytes, dances, and masks. This prehistoric music is described as identical to that found among the Bushmen, Pygmies, Lapps, and indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego and the Amazon.

Legends of Flight and Sound

Legends from various cultures, including the Orkney and Lewis Islands, suggest that emitting certain sounds could enable flight. The text mentions the Hebrew book CZYAN, which speaks of people flying by singing and playing cymbals. Irish folklore also describes people dancing in the air like autumn leaves.

Cu-Chulainn and Mythological Chariots

Legends of the hero Cu-Chulainn and his thunderous weapons are discussed, along with similar weapons possessed by the Hindu god Indra. These include the 'chariot-scythe' and 'enchanted flying chariot' used in aerial battles, including the bombing of Ceylon.

Ossian's Poem and Planetary Systems

An Ossian poem is mentioned, describing Cu-Chulainn's chariots flying near planets. It also refers to priests who possessed a 'TUPAN' fleet with seven pipes, representing the seven planets, the moon, the sun, and the starry sky. TUPAN is identified as the thunder god among the ancient Indians of the Amazon.

Egyptian Mysteries and Levitation

The Egyptian mystery of 'L'SACRE EL' is mentioned, relating to the distance from the earth to the sun. A legend describes priests placing papyrus sheets with secret formulas under stones and then striking the stones with a stick, causing rocks to rise into the air to build pyramids.

British Isles and Sound-Induced Flight

In Great Britain, legends of fairies, sorcerers, and sprites mention flight achieved by striking a cauldron.

Ancient Vehicles and Extraterrestrial Visitors

Before the arrival of Europeans, the indigenous peoples of certain regions had round, silent vehicles that could land on lakes. The text suggests these were flying chariots. The disappearance of aviators with their machines upon the arrival of Europeans is also noted.

Japanese Legends and 'Lee Kappa'

Japanese legends describe a being called 'Lee Kappa,' resembling a cosmonaut, who ascended in a round chariot and landed on lakes.

Caribbean Legends and 'Singing for Flight'

In the Caribbean Islands, people could fly by singing a specific song or tapping a plate. The text questions whether the 'plate' might have been made of gold, or if 'gold' symbolized something more profound, like cosmic secrets known only to savants.

The Peruvian God NAYMLAP

The legendary Peruvian god NAYMLAP, founder of the Chimu empire, is discussed. He is believed to have come from Central America and is identified with Quetzalcoatl (Maya and Aztec) and WIRA-COCHA (Peru). His arrival and departure are described as a form of flight.

Cultural Unity and Cosmic Consciousness

German scholars Leo Frobenius and Baron von Humboldt are cited, suggesting a universal cultural soul connected to high mythological culture. This connection is characterized by the adoration of the sun and a cosmic unity where the cosmos, earth, and gods are intertwined. Their views suggest that current religions and sciences are merely unconscious vestiges of this ancient spiritual unity.

Miguel Cabello's Account of NAYMLAP

According to Miguel Cabello Balboa (1578-1586), NAYMLAP brought culture from the north to Peru, founded a dynasty, and then departed by flying. He reportedly brought Spondylus shells, which were used as musical instruments, and are depicted on winged dragons in Peruvian ceramics.

Ueshua Language and 'Quepque'

The ancient Ueshua language of Peru is mentioned, where the word 'QUEPQUE' means 'a phantom with a human head flying in the air.' The human-bird Tanga-ta-Manu from Easter Island is also described as a feared phantom.

Ayacycho and the 'Waq-Waq' Cry

In Ayacycho, Peru, a flying head is described making a cry called 'WAQ-WAQ.' This is linked to various religious revelations, particularly the Maya's 'Son of God WAQ-UNAHPU,' who was resurrected after being executed by a giant bird from the sky.

The 'Aerial Bridge' and Ancient Civilizations

Ancient Maya texts mention an 'aerial bridge' connecting two cities. The Peruvian god KON-TIKI is said to have used a rainbow as an 'aerial bridge' to travel to Polynesia. The concept of 'Sons of the Sky' used by the Chinese is also mentioned in this context.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO-REPORTS revolve around the idea that ancient civilizations possessed advanced knowledge, possibly derived from extraterrestrial contact or a lost higher civilization. The magazine presents myths, legends, archaeological findings, and linguistic connections as evidence to support these theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these unconventional ideas, encouraging readers to question mainstream historical and scientific narratives. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for ancient wisdom to shed light on modern mysteries, particularly concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The publication seems to advocate for a multidisciplinary approach to understanding these phenomena, moving beyond the limitations of conventional scientific skepticism.

This issue of UFOLOGIE, dated March 1966, focuses on reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related phenomena from various locations, alongside expert opinions and scientific discussions. The magazine presents a collection of witness accounts, interviews with prominent figures in aviation and science, and analyses of the UFO question.

UFO Sightings and Witness Accounts

The issue details several UFO sightings, beginning with an account from Ottawa, Canada, where Michel Cleary reported an object with three round windows that emitted a sound similar to air escaping a tunnel. Another significant report comes from Sarnia, Canada, where approximately 100 people allegedly observed an object resembling one seen in Michigan, described as disc-shaped with red, white, blue, and green lights. The object was reportedly seen at an altitude of about 200-300 feet (60 meters).

Further reports include observations from Michigan, USA, where some UFOs were dismissed as swamp gas, while others were described with brilliant green and red lights. In Pontiac, USA, 12 to 14 deputy sheriffs witnessed objects in the sky. Two police officers in Green Bay, USA, reported seeing a bright object. Two men in Toronto, Canada, observed a white light moving slowly in the sky near Barrie. An air traffic control operator in Columbus, USA, reported a greenish-white cigar-shaped object. In Wilmslow, UK, a police officer described an elliptical object, about the size of a bus, that hovered and then moved away rapidly.

A notable account from Finland describes a farmer, Leevi Herranen, who observed a flying saucer about 3 meters in diameter with an orange light near Alvajärvi on April 17, 1966. The object moved slowly before ascending rapidly.

In Utah, USA, 75 natives claimed to have seen a UFO land, describing landing gear and rotating lights. However, the deputy sheriff attributed it to a large white sheet stretched between two trees.

Expert Opinions and Scientific Discussions

The magazine features an article titled "GUETTER LES SOUCOUPES VOLANTES" (Tracking Flying Saucers) from the Danish newspaper "Fyens Stiftstidende" (March 8, 1966). It discusses a proposal by Colman Von Kewiczky, a member of the UN Secretary-General's staff, for a global network of observation stations to track UFOs. Von Kewiczky suggests that the increase in UFO reports might be linked to atomic explosions and space travel, and he believes Earth is being observed by intelligent beings from space.

Another section, "UNE AUTORITE DE L'AVIATION CROIT AUX SOUCOUPES VOLANTES" (An Aviation Authority Believes in Flying Saucers), from the Copenhagen newspaper "B.T." (May 24, 1966), highlights comments by Knut Hammarskjold, the new Director-General of IATA in Sweden. Hammarskjold expressed his belief in UFOs and discussed the implications of curious beings observing Earth from space. He noted that the American Association of Aviation Writers was surprised by his address, which dedicated a third of its content to UFOs.

The issue includes an interview with the renowned German scientist Hermann Oberth, a pioneer in rocket technology. Oberth stated that there is no scientific reason to disbelieve in UFOs or the possibility of life on other planets, though he cautioned that extraterrestrial intelligences might not resemble human conceptions. He mentioned having seen an object resembling a UFO near Nuremberg in January 1965. Oberth also discussed his interest in UFOs since 1948 and his conviction that they come from other planets, citing Major Keyhoe's files as evidence.

Oberth also touched upon the possibility of reincarnation and the nature of intelligent beings, suggesting they might not be anthropomorphic. He acknowledged that the question of alien populations is biological and left it open.

Regarding space travel, Oberth suggested that if a spaceship possesses sufficient speed, time and distance become less relevant, and he did not find Einstein's theories obsolete. He also confirmed his belief in reincarnation as a possibility.

When asked about his role in rocket development, Oberth clarified that he was a theorist, with Goddard (American) and Ziolkoxsky (Russian) being the practical scientists in the field of rockets. He mentioned meeting Von Braun in Berlin in 1950.

Philosophical and Cosmic Perspectives

The magazine presents a section titled "LE PASSE" (The Past) and "CAUSE ET EFFET" (Cause and Effect), which delves into a more spiritual and cosmic perspective. It suggests that humanity is divine and its destiny is linked to Cosmic Laws. The text posits that humanity originated from other planets in our solar system and previously from another system that had completed its cycle. It speaks of a continuous development and acquisition of knowledge about Cosmic Laws, leading to greater responsibilities.

"VAISSEAUX DE L'ESPACE" (Spacecraft) is described as a "Divine Gift" accessible only to civilizations with a comprehension of Cosmic Laws. The loss of this understanding leads to the denial of access to these spacecraft.

The "DES PLANETES NAISSENT, DES PLANETES MEURENT" (Planets Are Born, Planets Die) section discusses the cycle of solar systems and the Cosmos informing beings within a system about new solar systems to colonize when their current one is dissolving. This process is presented as a natural and inevitable development.

Dangers and Separation

A section titled "UN DANGER" (A Danger) warns about "black sheep" within terrestrial families and societies, referring to elements that disrupt harmony and threaten societal rupture. Examples given include "blousons noirs" (hoodlums) and beatniks who operate outside the law, potentially pushing society in a negative direction. This danger is said to exist in all systems, even advanced ones, partly due to influences from other planets and partly due to free will.

"LA SEPARATION" (The Separation) describes a historical event where divergent elements on several planets threatened to destroy ethical standards and contact with the Cosmos. As a result, these individuals were transferred to uninhabited planets, including Earth, Mars, and Jupiter, to prevent further disruption.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFOLOGIE include the reporting and analysis of UFO sightings, the exploration of the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, and the scientific and philosophical implications of these phenomena. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of open inquiry, presenting various viewpoints from witnesses, scientists, and those with spiritual or cosmic perspectives. While acknowledging the skepticism surrounding UFOs, the publication seems to lean towards the belief that these phenomena warrant serious investigation, as evidenced by the inclusion of expert opinions that support the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The editorial stance encourages readers to consider the evidence and the broader implications of the UFO question, moving beyond purely orthodox scientific explanations when confronted with extraordinary claims.

This issue of "UFO - SCIENCE," spanning pages 50-57, appears to be a French-language publication from the 1960s, likely 1966 given the dateline on one of the articles. It focuses on the intersection of ufology, science, philosophy, and spirituality, with a critical stance on modern scientific paradigms and societal development.

Key Articles and Themes

Cosmic Community and Human Development

The issue opens with a reflection on humanity's place within a larger "Cosmic Community." It suggests that other races within the solar system and beyond have progressed spiritually and ethically, achieving unity with the 'Divine Laws.' In contrast, Earth is depicted as trapped in a 'vicious circle,' with its inhabitants fighting amongst themselves and moving further away from cosmic harmony. The text posits that extraterrestrial "Brothers and Sisters" have visited Earth, offering guidance according to 'Ethical Laws,' which permit aid but not direct intervention in development. This fine line between aid and intervention is presented as the reason for the seemingly strange behavior of these cosmic visitors. Evidence of these visits is claimed to be found in ancient legends, traditions, sculptures, and inscriptions, where visitors were sometimes seen as gods and other times as false gods to be destroyed.

Vigilance: Contact

This section emphasizes that humanity has not been completely forgotten and that extraterrestrial visitors have continued to watch over and guide them, albeit within strict non-interventionist guidelines. The difficulty in defining the boundary between aid and intervention is reiterated as the cause of apparent 'strange behavior' from cosmic visitors. These visitors have reportedly visited all civilizations on Earth, providing aid within their permitted scope. The article notes that these visits have left traces in ancient lore and artifacts.

The Mystery of Behavior

The enigmatic behavior of extraterrestrial visitors is attributed to their limited capacity for aid without intervention. The sheer number of different races visiting Earth, potentially as numerous as those native to Earth, contributes to the complexity of these encounters. The article cites examples of diverse incidents occurring in Japan, France, Scandinavia, and South America as evidence of this varied visitation.

The Gods

Legends often describe celestial beings descending to teach agriculture and metallurgy. Humanity's perception of these visitors has varied, sometimes revering them as gods and at other times destroying them. The text laments that this lack of understanding and perception continues to the present day.

Technology and Spirit

While acknowledging the marvel of current technological expansion, the issue argues that this progress has not been matched by ethical and spiritual development. It criticizes a societal tendency to view technology as a form of divinity, neglecting spiritual understanding. Many people are described as blind to the dangers of this technological obsession, running towards destruction with a "fixed smile."

A Paradox

Despite the widespread sightings of extraterrestrial craft and visitors by millions of people, including specialists like pilots and scientists, official reports are often treated as if they are new discoveries. This impression is allegedly disseminated through the press, hindering any significant development in understanding the phenomenon. The article suggests that organizations like IGAP have gathered extensive evidence, but the public remains largely ignorant due to a deliberate withholding of information.

Conclusion

The prevailing materialistic attitude, coupled with numerous religious movements and sects, and a misguided approach to technology, makes humanity incapable of understanding or tolerating the truth about extraterrestrial visitors. The article acknowledges the responsibilities of political, religious, and military leaders and refrains from condemning their handling of the issue. It suggests that a gradual revelation of truth is necessary to prevent societal collapse, even if it means employing subterfuges.

New Principles in Quantum Mechanics

This section, a summary of a book by Dr. H.C. Dudley, challenges the foundations of modern science. It argues that the union of mathematics and philosophy, particularly in the early stages of science (around 1800), led to flawed conclusions. The article criticizes the reliance on mathematical abstractions and symbolic manipulation, which it claims have replaced empirical data collection. It highlights how certain scientists and mathematicians have become 'hypnotized' by the concept of establishing reference points, leading to unstable foundations. The text points to the theories of scientists like Lobachevsky, Riemann, Lorentz, Fitzgerald, Minkowsky, Weyl, and Einstein, suggesting that modern students are not critically examining the unproven postulates of modern physics. The author of the summary, Wilbert B. Smith, notes that Dr. Dudley's work would have been more complete if he had considered the concept of 'time' as a 'field.' The book is recommended for those with sufficient scientific culture, despite being 'troubling.'

News Briefs

Several short news items are included:

• Daily Mirror (January 18, 1965): An archaeologist in Ferghana, Central Asia, reportedly discovered a 7,000-year-old rock drawing depicting a spaceman with a helmet and a flight reactor.
• Haagse Courant (September 20, 1966): An unidentified balloon, estimated to be 70 meters in diameter, was sighted at an altitude of 20 km over Roervallei, Germany, prompting numerous calls to the Bochum Observatory.
• Professor Hannes Alfven's Theory: A professor from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm proposed a theory about the origin of solar systems, suggesting that all systems share the same origin and that most contain a planet similar to Earth, challenging the notion of Earth's uniqueness.
• Le Figaro (September 9, 1966): The US Army is reportedly ceding the study of UFOs to scientists. It is stated that five million people in the US are convinced that UFOs exist, leading to a debate between 'pro' and 'anti' factions in political and press circles.

US Air Force Study on UFOs

An article details the US Air Force's decision to transfer its study of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) to a scientific commission. This move comes after years of the Air Force being responsible for such studies since 1947. The new commission will comprise leading scientists, including physicists, astrophysicists, atmospheric specialists, and psychologists. Physicist Edward Condon will direct this new bureau, which will receive $300,000 in funding from the aviation industry. The project is expected to take until at least 1968 to complete and will involve about a hundred researchers and advisors. The decision was announced by Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown, aiming to address the numerous UFO sightings in the first half of the year and counter criticisms that explanations for 'unexplained phenomena' were disingenuous. Renowned scientists like astro-physicist Allen Hynek reportedly admitted to being 'shaken by the accumulation of testimonies.' Hynek suggested that UFOs might represent something entirely new to science, drawing a parallel to the hypothetical reaction to nuclear energy in 1866. Physicist James Mc. Donald of the University of Arizona accused the US Air Force of deliberately downplaying UFO information for years at the request of the CIA and the Second Bureau.

Note on Adamski

A handwritten note is included, addressed to "ADAMSKI YOU MUST NOT GO TO FINLAND THIS TIME R. PROPAGANDA TROUBLE FOR You CSA U.S.A.C."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the perceived spiritual and ethical lag of humanity compared to a broader cosmic community, the limitations and potential dangers of unchecked technological advancement, and a critique of scientific orthodoxy that prioritizes abstract theories over empirical evidence. The publication appears to advocate for a more holistic understanding that integrates science with spirituality and acknowledges the reality of extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance is critical of mainstream scientific and governmental approaches to the UFO phenomenon, suggesting a deliberate suppression of information and a need for a more open and truthful investigation, albeit one that is carefully managed to avoid societal disruption. The issue champions the idea of 'Cosmic Laws' and living in harmony with the universe and fellow beings.
