Magazine Overview
BUFOI, issue N°22, published in April-June 1970, is a French-language magazine dedicated to the study of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and extraterrestrial contact. The cover features a striking image of a saucer-shaped object and the prominent title 'BUFOI'. The magazine is published by BUFOI, with editorial contributions from Mme May Flitcroft-Lambotte and translation by Gérard Landercy. The overarching organization is the 'World Organization for Research on Unidentified Flying Objects' (I.G.A.P.), with its headquarters at The George Adamski Foundation in Vista, California, USA.
Editorial: 22 Years of Study in the Field of UFOs
The editorial, written by Gérard Landercy, reflects on 22 years of UFO study. It notes that while many ufologists have lost interest in compiling tedious data, it remains necessary to detail the history of UFO phenomena, particularly the various American commissions that marked the beginning of official investigations. The editorial traces the history from the official 'modern era' starting in 1947, acknowledging that UFOs were already discussed during World War II as 'foo-fighters'.
- Key dates and events highlighted include:
- June 24, 1947: The Kenneth Arnold incident, which spurred official awareness.
- December 30, 1947: James Forrestal's declaration to create an investigative commission, Project Sign.
- February 11, 1949: Project Sign is dissolved.
- Late summer 1949: Formation of an organism under the Air Force Laboratory to study 'green fireballs', leading to Project Twinkle.
- March 1952: Initiation of Project Blue Book, led by Captain Ruppelt and later Major Quintanilla.
- The editorial mentions the 'Project Colorado' which is feverishly working on the problem without solving it.
It criticizes the US Air Force for delegating the UFO dossier to commissions whose scientific incompetence was evident, with instructions to minimize unexplained cases and refute significant documents to reduce public interest. The editorial quotes Mc Donald from a 1968 UFO Symposium, comparing the difficulty of understanding UFOs to understanding auroras in the 19th century.
It also references Major Keyhoe's 1950 book 'Flying Saucers are real' and the 1953 Robertson jury, which concluded there was no evidence of hostile extraterrestrial activity and recommended familiarizing the public with natural aerial phenomena to demystify UFOs.
Project Grudge and the US Air Force's Strategy
Page 5 details 'Project Grudge' (Project Rancune), formed partly due to perceived threats to US integrity. It was dissolved and re-established as 'new Project Grudge'. The article suggests that the US Air Force's strategy was to reduce the flow of public information by using intelligence services like the CIA to refute UFO reports. The Blue Book project is described as an agency tasked with distributing selected, pre-purged UFO case information to the public and scientists.
Directives such as AFR 200 and Janap 146 are mentioned, indicating that reporting unidentified cases could lead to severe penalties. The section also notes a series of mysterious deaths of individuals involved in UFO research, including Waveney Girvan, Jessup, Wilkins, Williamson, Olavo Fontes, Frank Edwards, and General Aileret.
UFO Evidence and International Efforts
The issue discusses the reliance on American sources for UFO evidence, listing official works from NICAP and symposiums. It notes a tentative effort by Russia to form a commission led by General Stolyarev. French organizations like OURANOS, GEPA, and Lumières dans la Nuit are also mentioned. A Latin American UFO detection network is also highlighted.
Evidence presented includes films (notably one from Great Falls), radar evidence (though not detailed due to time constraints), and electromagnetic effects on electrical devices, car engines, and radio equipment.
Aimé Michel's Perspective on Extraterrestrial Contact
Page 7 features a quote from Aimé Michel, who posits that the contact with extraterrestrial thought is developing daily and is leading humanity towards something as inconceivable as death. He expresses concern that this profound maneuver is not generating widespread interest, despite its apparent success. Michel suggests that before Kenneth Arnold's sighting in 1947, humanity rarely looked beyond Earth. Now, 23 years later, the idea of not being alone is becoming ingrained in the collective unconscious, potentially becoming an obsession within 20 years, leading to an 'abouchement' (connection) with cosmic thought.
George Adamski and Lunar Theories
Page 8 begins with a letter from Marc Hallet and then delves into the work of George Adamski. It references a statement by Nobel laureate Harold Urey, who suggested that lunar samples might lead him to modify his opinion on the Moon's origin, leaning towards the theory that the Moon is a piece of Earth. This is linked to a passage from Adamski's book 'Inside the Space Ships', where he discusses the formation of the Moon as a companion to Earth, a result of natural imbalance.
The article also quotes Adamski's descriptions of space from 'Inside the Space Ships', noting the presence of thousands of brightly colored points of light moving in various directions. It recounts Glenn's sighting of 'vivid yellow-green particles' and his description of traversing 'a splendid fireworks' upon re-entry.
Furthermore, it mentions Adamski's 1955 revelation that Earth is surrounded by a magnetic belt, a concept later confirmed by the discovery of the Van Allen belts in 1958. The article asserts that these verified details prove Adamski's travels in space. It also touches upon the controversy surrounding photos attributed to Adamski, with engineer Cramp reportedly proving their authenticity.
Contactees and Disappearances
Page 9 continues the discussion on Adamski, comparing his craft to those of other contactees. It lists several individuals who claim to have had contact, including Cedric Allingham, Daniel Fry, Wilbert Smith, Franco Tomassini, Edith Jacobsen, Asta Solvang, and Eugénio Siragusa. The article then highlights a particularly significant case: a retired Frenchman who reportedly met an extraterrestrial seven times, visited their craft (identical to Adamski's description), and received an optical instrument. This man, along with the technician who examined the instrument, and their families, reportedly disappeared without a trace.
These disappearances are linked to the 'brutal death' of George Adamski, the suspicious death of Wilbert Smith, and the panic experienced by A.K. Bendez in 1953, questioning if these events are 'counter-truths'. The note refers to J. GUIEU's book 'Black Out sur les SV' for more details on the retired Frenchman's story.
Lunar Observations and Apollo Missions
Page 10 discusses observations related to the Moon, drawing from 'Inside the Space Ships' and contemporary science. It mentions Adamski's descriptions of traces resembling ancient watercourses and embedded rocks on lunar mountains, as well as indentations on the soil. These are compared to images published in Paris Match. The texture of the lunar surface is described as fine and powdery, with larger particles like coarse sand or fine gravel, a description echoed by Apollo 8 cosmonauts who called it 'wet sand'.
Adamski's observations of mountains and potential snow on the highest peaks are also mentioned, contrasted with Stafford's report from Apollo 10 of seeing volcanoes that were white on the surface but black inside. The article notes the similarity of these descriptions.
Further lunar observations include descriptions of mountain lakes and rivers, with rivers flowing into large bodies of water. This is contrasted with astronaut declarations that the Moon is 'black and white' and has 'not a single spot of color', suggesting a deliberate attempt to deceive the public. Finally, it notes that Apollo 10 astronauts declared that 'craters seem radioactive, they glow'.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of BUFOI are the historical documentation of UFO phenomena, the alleged government efforts to control information, the nature of extraterrestrial contact, and the scientific and philosophical implications of these encounters. The magazine appears to adopt a stance that supports the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, often questioning official narratives and highlighting unexplained aspects of sightings and alleged encounters. There is a strong emphasis on the work of George Adamski and the broader implications for humanity's understanding of its place in the cosmos. The editorial tone suggests a commitment to uncovering and disseminating information about UFOs, even when faced with official skepticism or suppression.
This issue of "UFO - SCIENCE" (Issue 11, Volume 11, dated March 17, 1970) is published by BUFOI and focuses on a blend of ufology, theoretical physics, and metaphysical concepts. The magazine explores topics such as faster-than-light travel, telepathy, the nature of consciousness, and the fundamental principles of matter and energy.
Articles and Content
Adamski's Revelations and Space Travel
The issue begins by referencing George Adamski's descriptions of luminous domes on Venus and the Moon, suggesting they might be similar to those seen on Venus. It then transitions to revelations from "INSIDE THE SPACE SHIPS," discussing magnetic films and the potential for image reproduction similar to television. The text touches upon the concept of the 'magnetoscope' and mentions that a method for rapid food preparation using high-frequency rays, experimented with on Earth, has already been developed, though its high cost has prevented mass production.
Adamski's insights are further explored regarding Venusian swimwear, described as impermeable and capable of repelling harmful solar rays. The article notes that such clothing is now available in specialized stores. The author, Marc Hallet, suggests that this information has not yet been fully studied and could help defend Adamski's legacy against posthumous criticism.
Tachyons and Faster-Than-Light Travel
Several articles discuss the possibility of exceeding the speed of light. A piece from "PARIS-MATCH" (August 30, 1969) introduces the concept of 'TACHYONS' as a potential means to propel humanity into the stars, challenging Einstein's theory of the speed of light as an absolute value. Similarly, an article from "NORD-MATIN" (December 10, 1969) by Paul Franck posits that Einstein might have been mistaken and that faster-than-light travel is possible.
The issue details Dr. Edward Sudarshan's 1962 theory about particles moving faster than 300,000 km/second, later developed by physicist Pr. Feinberg in 1967. These 'tachyons' are described as behaving inversely to known particles; while normal particles gain mass and energy as they accelerate towards the speed of light, tachyons would gain mass and energy as they slow down towards their minimum speed of 300,000 km/second. Experiments were reportedly underway to verify these particles.
Questions and Answers with George Adamski
In a Q&A section, George Adamski addresses how a spacecraft might travel faster than light. He explains that light is a byproduct of something else, and that electromagnetic force lines travel at a much greater speed (380,000 miles per second). He suggests that spacecraft could potentially achieve speeds beyond light by employing this electromagnetic force, likening the challenge to the development of submarines that can withstand deep-sea pressures. The key is to engineer spacecraft capable of handling the pressure changes encountered in space.
Science Cosmique: Ufology and Classical Science
An article titled "Science Cosmique" by Keith Flitcroft, translated by G. Landercy, explores the relationship between ufology and classical science. It aims to clarify the messages from 'space beings' and cosmic laws, suggesting that objective study can bridge the gap between facts and official stances. The author acknowledges that this topic might appeal to a niche audience but hopes for reward for those who trust the efforts of BUFOI, an agency associated with the late George Adamski.
The article reviews the concept of the 'Law of the Father' as the positive principle of all life and the 'MOTIVE' element of the cosmos. It defines 'LIBERTY' as the opportunity for humans to fully realize their true nature and harmonize with Creation, free from artificial societal laws. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of the universe.
The Science of Life and Existence
"The Science of Life" is presented as a scientific mode of existence aimed at spiritual progress and cosmic evolution, not through asceticism but by facing life's difficulties. It emphasizes shedding outdated thought patterns that do not align with reality. The article posits that invisible reality is the cause of observable phenomena, corroborating classical science's view that the cosmos originated from an energy field that formed particles (protons and electrons) and subsequently matter.
Consciousness and the 'Father-Mother' Concept
The issue delves into the structure of human consciousness, dividing it into four lower elements (elementary, emotional, desire, thinking) and three higher elements (individualized, supreme, and the ineffable stage of peak consciousness). Telepathy is described as a cerebral communication process that transmits impressions from the 'World of Cause' and links living spirits. Examples are given, such as how cells coordinate or how an insect finds a mate over distances, attributing these to telepathy rather than pure instinct.
The concept of 'God' is discussed, moving beyond a anthropomorphic image to a 'Father-Mother' duality. The 'Father' is identified with the positive pole of the cosmos, representing conscious being and promulgator of laws, while the 'Mother' (Nature) is the source of creation and physical forms. The 'Father-Mother' concept culminates in a unique, unified CONSCIOUSNESS or DIVINITY. This section also mentions the existence of 'mediums' who perceive information from the 'World of Effects' through clairvoyance, linked to animal magnetism.
Electromagnetic Radiation and Charged Particles
Another section discusses electromagnetic radiation, defining it as a current of photons or a train of waves, characterized by energy, wavelength, and frequency. It lists various forms of electromagnetic radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves.
The physics of charged particles is explained, detailing the proton and electron. The proton has a mass of 1.673 x 10^-24 grams and a positive charge, while the electron weighs 9.11 x 10^-28 grams and has a negative charge. Their interaction creates electrostatic and electromagnetic phenomena. The formation of plasmas from ionized gases and their subsequent organization into stable compounds like atoms on planets are described. The article notes that the units for these particles are complex, possibly to confuse engineers.
Electrical Charges and Propulsion
The article explains electrostatic charges (positive and negative) and their attraction and repulsion. It introduces electromagnetic force, which arises from relative movement between charges and is significantly more powerful than electrostatic force. This force is linked to the speed of propagation, with changes in speed causing equivalent changes in the electromagnetic effect, propagating at the speed of light. This phenomenon is identified as ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION, with luminosity being its visible aspect.
The Nature of the Universe and Human Destiny
The issue touches upon the human desire to fully realize one's true nature and achieve self-awareness. It suggests that understanding the universe is crucial for this self-realization. The 'Science of Life' is presented as a path to cosmic evolution, achieved by confronting life's challenges. The concept of destiny is explored, with the Earth being portrayed as a school for learning lessons necessary for progress in eternal life.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the intersection of scientific inquiry and esoteric or metaphysical beliefs. The magazine appears to champion the idea that conventional science is incomplete and that phenomena such as UFOs, telepathy, and faster-than-light travel represent areas where new understanding is emerging. There is a clear editorial stance in favor of exploring these unconventional topics, often referencing the work of George Adamski and suggesting that established scientific paradigms may be too limited. The publication encourages an open mind and a willingness to consider information that challenges current scientific dogma, positioning ufology as a legitimate field of study that can be integrated with classical science.
Title: UFO-FLASH
Issue: 27
Volume: 2
Date: April 11-12, 1970
This issue of UFO-FLASH, published by Groupe Dohmen, delves into scientific aspects of ufology, reports on various sightings, and pays tribute to a key figure in the Belgian UFO community.
Scientific Concepts: Ions and Ionization
The magazine begins by explaining fundamental atomic concepts. An atom's diameter is approximately one Angstrom (10^-8 cm). The balance of positive and negative particles gives atoms neutrality, but when combined into molecules, their electrical properties are limited compared to plasma constituents. Electrons orbit the nucleus due to proton attraction, with their movement governed by energy, orbital characteristics, and electron interactions. Particles can gain energy, becoming 'excited,' but only in specific amounts called 'QUANTA,' often triggered by external perturbations like radiation or collisions. An excited electron tends to return to its original state, emitting its excess energy as radiation pulses. The energy exchanged in these processes indicates the frequency of emitted or absorbed radiation, directly reflecting an electron's state.
Ions and Ionization: When an electron is significantly influenced, it can leave its atom or molecule, taking its negative charge and leaving the remainder with a positive charge. This process is called ionization, and the resulting charged particles are known as ions. Ionization can be caused by radiation or collision, requiring a minimum energy threshold to dislodge an electron. Atmospheric ionization is often caused by gamma rays, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, or intense electric fields that agitate molecules. Visible light typically lacks the energy for ionization, but concentrated laser beams can be effective. Gamma radiation carries significant energy, allowing expelled electrons to travel far. Low-intensity X-rays are absorbed by the atmosphere and are useful for creating localized ionizations. Secondary ionization, caused by the expulsion of electrons from an X-ray or gamma radiation event, can be amplified if the electrons are contained within a system and captured by a magnetic field.
Ionization also excites other electrons, preventing them from leaving their atoms but allowing them to return to lower energy levels by emitting specific wavelengths of radiation. Ionized gases, or plasmas, are sources of their own radiation, forming emission spectra. Most emitted radiation falls within the ultraviolet band, though some is visible, indicating luminescence. Examples include the colors of auroras caused by oxygen and nitrogen, with specific wavelengths provided (e.g., green aurora at 5577 Angstroms, red oxygen at 6300 Angstroms, violet-blue nitrogen at 3914-4700 Angstroms, and red nitrogen at 6500-6800 Angstroms). The dominant color depends on atmospheric conditions. Marine air can also produce yellow-orange flashes from sodium.
Ions recombine constantly. In normal atmospheric conditions, this happens rapidly. The energy released during recombination often manifests as radiation. The general trend in restructuring is energy degradation into heat. These atomic and molecular changes can lead to the formation of highly reactive materials, such as ozone, which is a product of atmospheric electrical discharge, and nitric acid, which can form in the presence of water vapor during thunderstorms. Charged ions are subject to electromagnetic effects.
UFO Sightings and Corridors
An Observation in the Brussels-Athus Corridor (Brutus): On June 27, 1969, Willy Bertmans and his wife observed a bright object (magnitude 0.2) moving from NNW to SSE for about 10 minutes. At a 50° altitude, the object appeared to have a significant diameter, resembling a portion of an oval or a crescent moon with a bluish-white hue. It showed dark, vertical separations. The object was estimated to be much larger and at a higher altitude than conventional aircraft. It moved rectilinearly and passed directly overhead. Despite searching with binoculars, the object disappeared, possibly by extinction or rapid flight. Mrs. Bertmans saw nothing after the object passed.
Bertmans and others have made numerous observations since 1967, often late at night, involving light spheres moving rapidly horizontally or vertically, sometimes during aircraft passage. These observations were not always formally recorded.
Permanent Orthoteny: The concept of 'orthoteny' (UFO corridors) is presented as a significant link between observations over time. The article discusses the 'Brutus' corridor, which passes through Brussels and Athus. It notes that determining the precise vertical line of a location can be difficult without instruments. The arrival point of the UFO observed by Bertmans was traced to the region of Meise, extending the Brutus corridor towards the NNO. The slow progression of the UFO allowed it to be located within this corridor, which originates from Verre and intersects with 'BAVIC' (Bayonne-Vichy) at a right angle in France, an area known for UFO activity. The earliest Brutus observation dates back to 1943, also at low altitude. Aimé Michel's discovery of BAVIC was in 1954, and BAVIC is described as a large, likely circumterrestrial circle. The article suggests that if the right angle is not coincidental, these corridors might share a similar age.
Corridors: Three types of corridors are identified: 'P' (permanent), 'S' (secondary), and 'O' (occasional). For Belgium, four or five are considered permanent and secondary. Six corridors pass through Athus: ROTUS (Robertville-Athus), LOTUS (Lummel-Athus), BRETUS (Breda-Athus), BRUTUS (Brussels-Athus), KNOTUS (Knokke-Athus), and YPERTUS (Ypres-Athus). The first and third are occasional.
Three corridors pass through Brussels: Brutus, the BAVER line (dating back over ten years, from Koekelberg Basilica to Verviers), and a third, BIMAL van de Binche (Malines), which, when extended south, passes through Toulx Sainte Croix in Creuse, France, near the megalithic site of Pierres Jaumâtres. This latter corridor has been renamed BRUTOULX.
Another corridor, PODEN (Popperingue-Leeuwaarden), is continental and was highlighted by Dutch ufologists. Extrapolated into France and Spain, it passes over Rouen and two holy sites in Spain (Otero de Sinabria and Fatima). A more occasional corridor is 'OSTEL' (Stende-Hechtel).
The Day of July 9, 1967: This date is highlighted for the observation of five stationary objects over the Holland-Belgium-France coast, which remained for hours. Two objects later drifted south, intersecting with the continental exit points of several corridors, including Verre and Brutus. Objects were seen at Knokke, Ostend, Nieuport, and Dunkerque-Bergues. Two objects, from Verre and Knokke, described as large balloons, were located at the intersection of these corridors and the PODEN line. Observations in Knokke and Ostend lasted 12 hours. The Knokke object later replaced the Ostend one, which then moved towards Southend. The Verre observation's description was found later, and the Dunkerque-Bergues discovery was in a 1968 publication.
Provisional Conclusions: The authors are convinced that other witnesses existed on July 9, 1967, whose reports were likely dismissed by newspapers. They suggest that many witnesses may be imaginative, indifferent, or timid, perhaps due to a fear of psychiatric judgment. The article questions why specific descriptions from Messrs. Elsen, Ferryn, and Becg are available, attributing it to ufologists who observe the sky with different perspectives, free from 'psychiatric complexes.' The hope is expressed that French and Dutch researchers will find more witnesses and detailed accounts for that date.
Tribute to Jean Gérard Dohmen
A Great Belgian Figure Disappears! Jean Gérard Dohmen, one of Belgium's most popular UFO researchers, died in Brussels on February 23, 1970, after a short illness. Dohmen's interest in the cosmos began in his youth, influenced by authors like Flammarion and Abbé Moreux. His fascination with space was sparked by a 1922 article in Science & Vie and early rocket experiments by Dr. Goddard. Initially skeptical of flying saucers, his interest grew in 1955 when he began collecting press clippings. By 1957, he started recording observations of strange lights in the Brussels sky. He became an active collaborator with BUFOI and the Groupement pour l'Etude des Sciences d'Avant-Garde. He participated in numerous conferences and was preparing a book on the subject. His articles appeared in several newspapers, and he debated UFOs on Belgian Radio Television in 1968. In January 1967, he moved his activities to Brussels to manage his workload. He founded the "Groupe Dohmen" for his followers. In October 1969, he initiated the project for a Belgian Federation of Ufology, aiming for greater cooperation among researchers. BUFOI and GESAG mourn the loss of a precious collaborator and a dedicated student of George Adamski's claims, particularly the 'Venusian' footprints. His upcoming book was expected to shed further light on the 'George Adamski Case.' The Belgian ufology community is in mourning. The Groupe Dohmen has been taken over by Patrick Ferryn, a young collaborator, with wishes for continued success.
UFO Literature Review: Des Signes Dans Le Ciel by Paul Misraki
This review discusses Paul Misraki's book, which explores the concept of extraterrestrial civilizations and intercommunications, drawing parallels with biblical accounts. Misraki suggests that the Bible describes phenomena that can be explained by UFOs (e.g., vertical cigars for cloud columns, flying discs for celestial wheels). He posits that humanity is subject to the influence of two distinct extraterrestrial factions: one benevolent, aiming to elevate humanity, and another malevolent, seeking to degrade it. The benevolent faction's goal is to help humanity evolve beyond its current state, with Christ potentially being the first 'mutated' human of this new race, free from the law of death and corruption. This transformation, however, will only be fully realized when generalized among all 'Justes.' The author emphasizes not infringing on human free will, acknowledging organized resistance from Earthlings. The Bible, according to Misraki, illustrates the preparation for this mutation, referencing Abraham's celestial visitors and the subsequent 2,000 years of selective breeding. The review notes that Misraki's conclusions are a logical extension of his biblical interpretations, with a significant focus on extraterrestrials. The book is described as easy and pleasant to read, offering ample food for thought.
News Briefs
Von Braun Wants to Build Ideal Cosmodrome in Mexico: Werner von Braun is reportedly seeking to build a base in Ceballos, Mexico, for landing interplanetary vessels. A Mexican professor announced that meteorites have recently crashed in the region, and American and Soviet scientists are investigating.
Observation in Holland: On March 20, 1970, hundreds of people in Utrecht observed a large, bright, oval-shaped object, similar to the full moon in color and clarity, moving at high speed towards the northeast.
Starfighter Disappears Over the Netherlands: A Starfighter from Kleine Brogel airbase disappeared during an exercise over the Netherlands, with radar operators reporting it as a 'fireball.'
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The issue consistently explores the intersection of scientific phenomena (ionization, plasma) with unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs). There's a strong emphasis on the historical and geographical patterns of UFO sightings, particularly through the concept of 'corridors.' The magazine also highlights the importance of dedicated researchers and the need for rigorous, yet open-minded, investigation, as exemplified by the tribute to Jean Gérard Dohmen and the review of Paul Misraki's work. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into UFO phenomena, seeking to connect them with both scientific principles and historical/religious texts, while also acknowledging the contributions of key figures in the field.
Title: BUT & CHAMP D'ACTION
Issue: 31
Date: October 1969
Publisher: BUFOI
Country: Belgium
Language: French
This issue of "BUT & CHAMP D'ACTION" features a report on the disappearance of a Belgian "Starfighter" aircraft during a bombing exercise over Vlieland, Netherlands. The incident involved radar personnel observing a fireball and extensive search efforts by Dutch forces. The pilot, sub-lieutenant aviator Guy Mathot, is identified. The report is attributed to correspondent Marc Hallet.
Another section discusses a congress held at the Institut Carlo Erba, focusing on the theme of "How to live 110 years?". Key findings from the congress suggest that increased longevity could be achieved by enhancing fetal resistance, maximizing parental health, combating cardiovascular diseases, and preventing the formation of reactive chemical groups in the nascent organism that could damage vital cellular components.
The magazine is dedicated to Georges Adamski and promotes the "International Get Acquainted Program" (IGAP), founded by Adamski in 1959. IGAP's objective is to provide people worldwide with the opportunity to learn about flying saucers and to foster an understanding that all humans are citizens of the Cosmos and children of Cosmic Power. The magazine is distributed to civil and military authorities, leaders of the United Nations, the Vatican, scientific circles, and media organizations.
The stated purpose of the magazine is to disseminate information about events globally, encouraging the discovery of initiatives that support a "truth" that has been accepted by the magazine's creators but not yet officially recognized. These claims include regular visits from extraterrestrials, contact between beings from other worlds and political-scientific circles, and secret contacts with individuals from all backgrounds.
The magazine explicitly states it does not intend to combat anyone and is solely focused on truth, aiming for personal improvement and self-betterment. It asserts no political, religious, sectarian, or lucrative intentions.
Articles and Content
Starfighter Incident
An article details the disappearance of a Belgian "Starfighter" aircraft during a bombing exercise near Vlieland, Netherlands. The aircraft was part of a two-group Belgian "Starfighter" exercise. Radar personnel tracking the aircraft reported seeing a "fireball" at one point. Search and rescue operations were conducted by Dutch vessels, helicopters, and aircraft. The pilot, sub-lieutenant aviator Guy Mathot, who was married and resided in Peer, Limburg, was on board.
Longevity Congress
A report from the "T. Nouvelles Oct. '69" section summarizes a congress at the Institut Carlo Erba concerning longevity. The central theme was achieving a lifespan of 110 years. The congress proposed that longevity could be enhanced by increasing fetal resistance, optimizing parental health, actively fighting cardiovascular diseases, and preventing the formation of specific chemical groups within the developing organism that could damage cells due to free electrons.

BUT & CHAMP D'ACTION - Editorial Stance
This section, dedicated to Georges Adamski, outlines the philosophy behind the magazine. It posits that people from other planets regularly visit Earth and that individuals from other worlds are in contact with political-scientific circles in both the East and West. It also claims that people from all walks of life have been contacted by extraterrestrial beings, with these contacts being kept secret. The magazine embraces Adamski's philosophy as a means to rediscover humanity's origin and destiny. The publication aims to present the truth without engaging in conflict, believing that truth alone can captivate individuals and lead to self-improvement. It explicitly states it is not political, religious, sectarian, or profit-driven.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the unexplained disappearance of military aircraft, potentially linked to UFO phenomena (as suggested by the "fireball" sighting), and the exploration of advanced scientific concepts like human longevity. The editorial stance is strongly aligned with the teachings of Georges Adamski, promoting the belief in extraterrestrial visitation and a cosmic perspective on humanity's place in the universe. The magazine positions itself as a disseminator of "truth" regarding these subjects, encouraging critical thinking and discussion among its readers, while maintaining a non-confrontational and non-sectarian approach.
