29 - BUFOI Magazine - No 29 - 1972

Magazine Overview

This is issue number 29 of BUFOI MAGAZINE, a publication focused on UFOs and related topics, with this particular issue being dedicated to Georges Adamski. The cover prominently displays the magazine's title and an image of a flying saucer. The publication states it is part of the "ORGANISATION MONDIALE DE RECHERCHES SUR LES OBJETS VOLANTS NON IDENTIFIES - I. G. A. P." and appears to be published by SOBEPS, with a note indicating it is published every two months.

Editorial Stance and Content Introduction

The second page, titled "BUT & CHAMP D'ACTION" (Purpose & Field of Action), serves as an introduction to the magazine's philosophy. It states the revue is dedicated to Georges Adamski and explains the IGAP movement, founded by Adamski in 1959. The core idea of IGAP is to enable people globally to understand what is happening in the realm of flying saucers, hoping they will discover the truth and prepare for the future as "citizens of the Cosmos." The magazine suggests that universal laws can be understood by studying the "Science of Life," knowledge purportedly shared by friendly extraterrestrial visitors. The revue aims to inform readers about global events related to this truth, which is not yet officially recognized. It lists four key points: other planetary beings visit Earth, contact exists between extraterrestrials and political-scientific circles, people from all walks of life have been contacted secretly, and the "Science of Life" taught by Adamski is the way to rediscover our origins and destiny. The publication asserts it has no intention of combating anyone and is solely interested in truth, aiming to help individuals make better decisions for themselves and improve.

Editorial: Ignorance

The editorial, titled "IGNORANCE," criticizes the journalistic practices of Adolph Rasten, who wrote an article for the "Dansk familieblad" about the Dutch royal family. The editorial argues that Rasten's article highlights the extreme rights journalists often claim while showing minimal responsibility. Rasten's article reportedly discusses the Dutch Prince Consort making suggestions on domestic policy and the involvement of a healer named Greet Hofman with the young princess. The editorial questions Rasten's sources and motives, particularly when he mentions Georges Adamski, suggesting Rasten likely received no information from authoritative sources. The author of the editorial expresses disbelief at the 'monstrosities' Rasten attributes to Adamski, stating that Rasten cannot harm Adamski.

The editorial then delves into Rasten's portrayal of Adamski, calling him a "marvelous prophet healer of the Cosmos" and a specialist in flying saucers who claimed contact with inhabitants of Venus. Rasten allegedly accused Adamski of trying to gain a foothold in the palace of Soestdijk, which the editorial refutes. It claims Adamski was invited by the Queen herself for a conference with high-ranking officials. Rasten also allegedly called Adamski a "charlatan spirituel." The editorial defends Adamski against Rasten's claims, stating that Adamski never had any dealings of that nature and that the press never revealed such assertions. The author questions how a journalist making inaccurate claims can judge someone as a "spiritual charlatan."

Further points raised in the editorial include:
1. The phrase "marvelous prophet healer of the Cosmos" is deemed a rude invention by Rasten.
2. Adamski's alleged attempt to gain access to the palace is called false; he was invited by the Queen for a conference that was highly successful and extended beyond its scheduled time.
3. The accusation of Adamski being unmasked by the press as a "polichinelle" is questioned, with the editorial stating Adamski never had such dealings and the press never reported them.
4. The label "spiritual charlatan" is challenged, with the author questioning Rasten's authority to make such a judgment.
5. The editorial questions Rasten's ability to provide a single example proving Adamski made himself impossible, suggesting Rasten might be referring to student revolts in Switzerland during Adamski's 1959 conferences. It asserts that Adamski never made himself impossible during his numerous conferences or interviews, and if he had, the press would have reported it.

The editorial concludes by stating that while Rasten may fade into obscurity, Georges Adamski will never be forgotten. This section is attributed to H.C. Petersen of Denmark, associated with UFO-Kontakt and I.G.A.P.

In Memory of George Adamski

This section is a tribute to George Adamski. It describes a large audience attending a conference where the speaker shared his experiences with space travelers, their ships, and the purpose of their visit. The speaker's anecdotes sometimes elicited laughter. He spoke of his early UFO experiences, a desert encounter, and how he began giving conferences in 18 countries in 1959. The text mentions that these space travelers maneuvered their ships in ways unknown to Earthlings, challenging human intelligence and initiating a "space program." The speaker emphasized the "blessing" this represented and urged listeners to consider the profound service rendered by flying saucers, regardless of their personal beliefs.

The narrative continues with the author's personal account of meeting Adamski. The author describes how Adamski's work launched humanity into a new territory of discovery, promising a future based on spatial effort, knowledge, and instruction rather than constant threats of war. This is presented as the "golden age of man" foretold in prophecies.

The author recounts the end of a conference, where Adamski, after leaving the podium, was met by a crowd of admirers. He moved with dignity, stopping to answer questions, which led to more questions, illustrating the continuous flow of life's events. The author describes this as their first contact with G.A. (Georges Adamski).

Working with Adamski, the author learned that he "never took the easy path" but faced challenges with the truth of life. Adamski taught and practiced the "hard path" of universal progress. He cherished his companions, enjoyed talking with them, answering their questions, and sharing his deep insights. Despite physical fatigue from his efforts, he served with remarkable zeal.

The author recalls a conversation where Adamski, sitting at their feet, asked questions that drew out the author's inner thoughts. They discussed the "hard path" of life, which Adamski taught was a path of love and service. The author learned that one's own needs are recognized, but they are truly fulfilled by voluntarily and joyfully serving the Divine Consciousness of all men. The Creator rewards sacrifice for others, regardless of external appreciation. The text posits that seeking love, joy, and peace for oneself is selfish, but offering these gifts to others brings them back, making selfishness transform into universal love.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of BUFOI MAGAZINE revolve around UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and the spiritual teachings of Georges Adamski. The magazine strongly advocates for the "Science of Life" as taught by Adamski, presenting it as a path to understanding universal truths, our cosmic origins, and a way to achieve personal and global improvement. There is a clear critical stance towards conventional journalism, exemplified by the editorial's strong refutation of Adolph Rasten's article, which is portrayed as inaccurate and biased. The magazine positions itself as a purveyor of truth, free from political, religious, or commercial agendas, aiming to enlighten readers and encourage a higher understanding of life and the cosmos. The emphasis is on self-improvement through service, love, and adherence to universal laws, as exemplified by the life and teachings of Georges Adamski.

This issue of UFO SCIENCE, identified as issue number 14 and dated 1973, is primarily focused on UFO-related phenomena, with a strong emphasis on physical evidence and scientific inquiry. The magazine is published by UFO SCIENCE and appears to be French in origin. The cover headline poses the question, "Will we finally decide to understand?", setting a tone of urgency and critical examination of the subject matter.

The Earth Grid System

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the research of Captain Bruce Cathie of New Zealand. Cathie's work, detailed in his book "Harmonic 33", proposes the existence of a global grid system utilized by interplanetary spacecraft. He discovered this system through years of research, identifying a network of points that seemingly receive energy from a cosmic source. These grid points are often locations where stationary UFOs are observed. Cathie suggests that these craft obtain energy from underground equipment and use this grid to travel anywhere on the planet. His investigations began after a personal UFO sighting in 1952 with five friends. Cathie mapped these sightings, noting they often fell along straight lines. He found that UFOs were observed stopping above these grid points, which were spaced approximately 54.43 kilometers apart. He later refined this, accounting for the Earth's pear shape, and determined the grid points were spaced at intervals of 30 nautical miles north-south and 30 minutes (approximately 30 nautical miles) east-west. Cathie created a model of this grid system, which allowed him to predict UFO observation locations. A striking confirmation came from the US inspection ship El-tanin, which photographed an unusual, antenna-like metallic object on the seabed off the coast of South America in 1964, located at a grid point.

Cathie's research further suggests that this grid system was constructed in the past, destroyed, and is now being reconstructed. He noted a connection between grid points and magnetic force lines, citing examples in Santa Cruz, New Mexico, and Cold Hill, Oregon. He theorizes that UFOs control gravity, allowing them to maneuver independently of it. He posits that the grid antennas might be buried at depths of 50-70 kilometers and were likely dislodged during the destruction of Atlantis. Cathie believes the reconstruction of the grid began in 1945 near the North Pole and has been expanding southward, with completion anticipated around 1965 as it extends towards the South Magnetic Pole.

Metallic Objects Falling from the Sky

The magazine presents a comprehensive catalog of incidents involving metallic objects falling from the sky, posing the question of whether humanity will finally understand these phenomena. The article lists numerous cases, starting from the early 19th century:

• 1824-1825, Russia: Symmetrical metallic objects identified as pyrite, but composed of 70% iron and 5% sulfur, were found.
• 1852, Hampshire: A module of pyrite and iron sulfide fell.
• 1862-1863, Scotland: Black rain containing foundry slag was observed.
• 1879, Chicago: "Slag" fell, similar to material found in 1846 in Darmstadt and 1855 near an embedded stone.
• 1887: An ellipsoidal sphere, 5 cm thick, fell but was not identified as meteoric.
• 1931, Colorado: A yellowish copper meteor fell.
• 1943, Argentina: An industrialist witnessed a flying saucer take off, and later found a cold, unidentifiable metallic object resembling a paperweight.
• 1946, Sweden: The army discovered a barrel-shaped object with a 150-foot copper wire.
• 1951, Anakardo: A thick layer of metal flakes, resembling tin, covered a large area.
• 1953, New Haven: A fireball caused a significant drop in electrical current, leaving behind traces of nearly pure copper.
• 1954, Brazil: Three discs were observed, one releasing a stream of molten silver-like liquid, which was later identified as tin.
• 1955, Florida: An object caused a large hole in a ceiling and burned for 40 days; officials ruled it was not radioactive or a missile, suggesting lightning.
• 1957, Var, France: A metallic object with a violet sheen, too hard for a dentist's drill, was found near a UFO.
• 1959, Danzig: An incandescent object was recovered from a port, but was lost after being sent to laboratories.
• 1960, St. Laurent: A large object resembling molten metal with unusual protuberances was found, covered in micrometeorites.
• 1962, Manitowock: A metallic object, a machine fragment, fell and melted.
• 1966, San Miguel: A 8-meter long, 1-meter diameter object fell, with indigenous witnesses reporting small beings. The object was later found to be 1.30 meters in diameter and 4 meters long, made of unidentified material.
• 1963: A hedgehog-like metallic object fell into a lake and sank.
• 1966, Colombia: An aerial object exploded, leaving behind smooth, unscratchable metal fragments. Another object of similar characteristics fell in the same sector.
• 1968, Sao Paulo: A smooth, metallic object, the size of a milk carton, was found partially buried. It later disappeared, leaving behind tile debris and a hole in the ceiling.
• 1969, Ireland: A round object with four metal rods fell and was recovered by the army.

The article also mentions Charles Fort's reports of artificial metal meteorites and substances resembling combustion residues.

The Mystery of Metallic Spheres

The magazine highlights several incidents involving metallic spheres:

• 1963, New South Wales: A 35 cm diameter sphere fell and could not be opened. A second, 40 cm sphere fell 60 miles away, followed by a third, 15 cm sphere with an opening. These were declared not to be satellite debris.
• 1964-1965, Argentina: Metallic spheres fell, with Dr. Olavo Fontes declaring them extraterrestrial.
• 1965, Seville: Three metallic spheres crashed, creating small craters. A 5 kg sphere fell nearby shortly after.

The article asserts these objects are artificial and often subject to a "policy of smothering" information.

The Belgian Incident: A Detailed Case Study

A detailed account is given of an incident on April 19, 1972, in Stembert, Belgium. An object fell into a compost heap in a garden, creating an funnel-shaped impact. The object emitted red flames and white smoke for an hour, leaving behind fine ash. Upon cooling, a metallic object, described as a cylinder about 0.08 m long and 0.07 m in diameter, was recovered. It weighed 3.225 kg and was unlike anything known. Specialists from the University of Liège examined it, noting it was not radioactive and not a meteorite or military projectile. The object's analysis was inconclusive, but the incident raised questions about how the object could have caused the surrounding debris to turn to ash without a visible melting point, suggesting a possible force field effect.

The Origin of Life

This section shifts to a scientific discussion on the origin of life. It references the cytologist Faria's idea that life is an integral part of the cosmos. Two American scientists, Wollin and Ericson from Columbia University, are highlighted for their research. They exposed gases found in space (methane, formaldehyde, ammonia) to ultraviolet radiation, successfully forming amino acids. This experiment, conducted without water, supports the hypothesis that the precursors to life may have formed in molecular clouds in space, "among the stars."

Scientific Perspectives and Limitations

The article notes that scientists like Jacques Monod and Abbé Marc Oraison share this view. However, it concludes with a quote from Pasteur: "Science will never provide a solution to the great problems," implying a limitation to purely scientific explanations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the physical evidence of UFOs (metallic objects, crashes), the potential for extraterrestrial technology (Earth grid system), and scientific exploration into fundamental questions like the origin of life. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, presenting detailed accounts of incidents and scientific findings while also acknowledging the limitations of current knowledge and the potential for suppressed information. The magazine encourages readers to question and seek understanding, as suggested by the cover headline.

Title: PRIMHISTOIRE
Issue: 17
Date: September 26, 1972
Publisher: La Voix du Nord

This issue of PRIMHISTOIRE delves into a variety of intriguing topics, primarily focusing on mysteries, scientific discoveries, and the exploration of the unknown.

The Fleron Object: A Striated Disk Mystery

The lead article, "Un autre mystère demeure," discusses a peculiar object found by Mr. Fleron. The object is described as cylindrical with two striated disks, possibly made of lead. The analysis by IAUL is criticized for being poorly executed and lacking common sense. The author questions the object's purpose and origin, dismissing conventional explanations like meteorites, balloons, satellites, or military projectiles. The extraterrestrial hypothesis is strongly considered, as it could explain the object's peculiar characteristics, such as the heat surrounding it.

The article highlights the difficulty in determining the object's depth and the lack of a clear explanation for its construction. The author expresses frustration with the lack of transparency and comprehensive information from IAUL, noting that their inquiries were only partially answered.

Ancient Depictions of Flying Objects

Another section presents three photographs of ancient religious art that appear to depict flying objects. One is a 17th-century Russian icon showing two spacecraft-like objects during the crucifixion, with pilots looking in the direction of travel. Another is a 1350 Yugoslavian fresco showing similar objects during the descent of Jesus from the cross, with pilots seated perpendicularly to the direction of movement. A third is a painting by Italian artist Pierro della Francesca, depicting three saucer-like objects resembling "Adamski" saucers above a monastery, which are interpreted as piloted craft despite appearing like clouds.

These images are presented as evidence that flying saucers are not a modern phenomenon but have been part of a cosmic plan for millennia.

Natural Nuclear Reactor Discovered in Gabon

A significant scientific discovery is reported: a natural fossil nuclear reactor found in the Oklo uranium mine in Gabon. Announced by M. Francis Perrin, High Commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission, this reactor is estimated to have begun functioning 1.7 billion years ago and ceased operations over 100 million years ago. The reactor's functioning stopped naturally once the concentration of uranium-235 became insufficient for a chain reaction.

French researchers noticed an anomaly in the uranium's composition from the Oklo mine, which had a lower percentage of uranium-235 than typical uranium ores. Chemical analyses confirmed the hypothesis of a self-sustaining chain reaction. This discovery suggests that the Precambrian era was very different from current assumptions and necessitates a redefinition of natural uranium.

The Question of Life on Mars

The magazine explores the ongoing scientific investigation into the possibility of life on Mars. American and Russian space probes are studying the planet, and an international biophysics congress in Moscow is analyzing recent findings. Scientists have posited that if life exists on Mars, it would likely be in primitive forms like algae or lichens, adapted to the planet's thin atmosphere and low temperatures.

Data from the "Mariner" and "Mars" probes indicate the presence of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. While nitrogen and amino acids are still needed for a complete picture, the conditions are considered increasingly favorable. The article concludes that the question of life on Mars will likely be resolved in the coming years.

Mariner 9 and Pioneer 10 Updates

Recent findings from the Mariner 9 probe reveal permanent ice caps on the South Pole of Mars, with ice packs observed at the North Pole. This discovery is considered remarkable. Additionally, the Pioneer 10 spacecraft is noted for its incredible speed of 120,000 km/hour, a record for a human-made vehicle, as it travels towards Jupiter.

Reflections on UFOs and Extraterrestrial Life

An article reviews the book "SCHNELLER ALS DAS LICHT" (Faster Than Light) by Johannes V. Butlar. The reviewer, Mrs. Jora Bauer-Lammer, notes that the book, written in German, covers scientific theories about life, the origin of humanity, the universe, and the speed of light. While the book is considered scientific, it doesn't offer new revelations about UFOs or contactee accounts. However, it confirms certain statements made by George Adamski through scientific evidence.

The reviewer emphasizes that science is not absolutely certain of anything and that the origin of life and humanity remains an enigma. The possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence is discussed, with the idea that contact with such beings would be the most extraordinary event in human history.

The article also touches upon the possibility of ancient civilizations possessing advanced knowledge, such as the Egyptians' pyramid construction and the Indian Vimanas (spacecraft), which could hold secrets to levitation and space travel.

Scientific Perspectives on Life and the Cosmos

The book review further explores the idea that life, in its fundamental chemical components, is universal. It suggests that while Earth may be the only inhabited planet in our solar system, our knowledge of other planets is limited to assumptions. The origin of the solar system itself is also presented as an unresolved mystery.

UFO News from Australia and Denmark

News from Australia reports on the first symposium on UFOs organized by the South Australia Division of the "Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science." Experts like Dr. Herbison Evans and Dr. B.H. Horton advocate for a more active and less anti-scientific approach to UFO research, suggesting the need for a global network of observation stations.

Information is also provided about the Danish publication "UFO-KONTAKT," which is available in English and covers UFO-related topics.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the persistent mysteries surrounding unidentified flying objects, the exploration of scientific frontiers (both ancient and modern), and the search for extraterrestrial life. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, encouraging readers to question established norms and consider unconventional hypotheses, particularly regarding UFOs and the origins of life and civilization. There is a clear emphasis on critical analysis of scientific findings and a willingness to explore possibilities beyond conventional understanding.
