Editorial Content

This issue of BUFOI, number 50, is dedicated to George Adamski and covers a range of topics related to UFOs and extraterrestrial contact.

Editorial: Panic in the UFO Domain

The editorial discusses how panic often hinders UFO research. It references a previous issue's report on a panic caused by a UFO at Bents Basin, N.S.W. It then details an incident near Sydney where six young people witnessed a circular object land and a robot-like figure emerge. Their panic led to a car accident and fire. The editorial criticizes governments for their silence on the presence of interplanetary visitors, arguing that this lack of information contributes to public fear and irrational reactions.

Contact in Australia

The magazine presents a report of a claimed contact by 'Albert Smith' in Australia, stating it is printed for information without judgment. It notes surprising details, such as a persistent kerosene-like smell after the departure of three space vessels, and speculates about luminous balls of light possibly being electrically charged spheres. The article also touches upon the concepts of teleportation, levitation, and the claim by Australian sorcerers to be able to cause rain.

The CIA and Space Research

This section highlights the CIA's long-standing interest in UFOs, dating back to the 'Robertson Panel' in 1953. It cites M. Colin Philips, President of 'UFO Research Queensland', who believes that Australian and US governments cannot ignore UFO presence due to satellite and radar surveillance. Philips suggests that the Royal Australian Air Force (R.A.A.F.) policy is to conceal facts. He expresses concern that TRW, a company involved in NASA's space research instruments, was financed by the CIA, implying a cover-up in the US space program. Roy Russel, former president of 'UFO Research', reportedly confirmed that biological instruments used in the Viking Project on Mars were manufactured by TRW.

Homage to Robert Charroux

This section is an homage to the recently deceased author Robert Charroux, based on an article from 'L'Autre Monde'. It describes Charroux's character and work, noting his interest in mysteries, the Great Pyramid, lost continents, and atomic test sites in Nevada. BUFOI expresses regret at losing a friend and acknowledges his contribution to open-minded research.

Telepathy (Chapter II: The Four Senses of Man) by George Adamski

This is a significant section featuring George Adamski's thoughts on telepathy. He discusses receiving numerous letters asking about thought transmission and his own journey to understanding it. Adamski posits that humans have five senses and the potential to develop a sixth. He reflects on how early humans accepted the world as perceived by five senses, but as they became more enlightened, they encountered phenomena difficult to explain through external perception. He describes his studies of nature, observing the harmony and intelligence in its processes, from the orange tree to the oak and the blade of grass. Adamski concludes that nature is guided by an ordered, directed, and controlled intelligence. He extends this observation to birds, insects, and animals, noting their ingenuity and the inspiration they provide for modern architecture. He emphasizes that all life forms are interconnected and dependent on each other, with humans being the highest form of creation on Earth, yet dependent on all.

Subscriptions and Correspondence

Information is provided for subscriptions to BUFOI, with different levels: ordinary, support, and honor subscriptions. Payment details include a CCP account number for Mme R. Peeters in Brussels. A note indicates that a cross in a specific box means the subscription is terminated. The magazine also states that no articles or photos can be published or reproduced without BUFOI's consent.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings and encounters, the potential for contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, the role of government secrecy, and the philosophical implications of cosmic intelligence and telepathy. The editorial stance is one of promoting awareness and open-minded investigation into UFO phenomena, while also advocating for a deeper understanding of nature and the universe through a spiritual or cosmic intelligence perspective, heavily influenced by George Adamski's teachings. The publication is explicitly non-political, non-religious, non-sectarian, and non-profit.

This issue of the magazine, identified by page number 14 and featuring the title "CE QU'A DIT GEORGE ADMSKI" (What George Adamski Said), focuses on the research and theories of UFOlogist George Adamski. The content appears to be a French translation, with references to a 1965 Syracuse N.Y. speech and a 1958 copyright for "Cours de télépathie" by George Adamski. The magazine explores Adamski's personal accounts, his views on space exploration, extraterrestrial life, and a concept he terms 'Cosmic Intelligence.' It also delves into ancient mysteries, specifically the Candelabra of the Andes geoglyph.

The Indispensable Role of Insects and Cosmic Intelligence

The article begins by emphasizing the crucial role of insects in the perpetuation of life on Earth, highlighting their importance in pollination. It paints a stark picture of what would happen if insects disappeared, leading to the collapse of ecosystems and the potential extinction of most life forms, including humans. This ecological interdependence is then linked to a broader philosophical concept: the 'unique Cosmic Intelligence' that Adamski believes underlies all of creation. He suggests that understanding this interconnectedness is key to grasping this universal truth.

Adamski reflects on his own journey of understanding, moving beyond the simple explanation of 'instinct' to seek a deeper comprehension of how animals anticipate environmental changes. He questions why humans, as the 'highest form of expression of the Creator,' would not also be privy to such warnings. His answer comes through a realization of 'Cosmic Intelligence,' which he describes as an impeccable knowing that one receives by opening one's mind to it.

He describes his process of studying the solar system and the cosmos, leading to the realization that he was not separate from creation but rather a part of it. This led him to the adage 'Man, know thyself,' which he now understands as holding the key to universal understanding, with Nature being the interpreter of the Cosmic Language.

Adamski asserts that humans, as creations of this Cosmic Intelligence, should inherently possess its laws and advantages, including intelligence. He questions why this access is not freely available. He also touches upon the scientific marvel of the human body and its internal 'chemical laboratory,' suggesting that even basic bodily functions obey the laws of Cosmic Intelligence. He believes that the reasoning mind has become so immersed in the material world that it has temporarily lost sight of its origin.

Telepathy and the Five Senses

Adamski challenges the conventional definition of telepathy as a sixth sense, proposing instead that it is a 'fifth sense' or a sensitive element through which telepathy truly operates. He defines this as an intelligent force that provides conscious warning. He argues that humans are fundamentally four-sensory beings, and that the idea of telepathy as a distinct sense is a mischaracterization. He acknowledges that this idea might be controversial but believes it can be logically demonstrated.

UFOs and Space Exploration: Adamski's Accounts

The magazine then shifts focus to UFOs and space exploration, presenting George Adamski's personal accounts and theories. It references his role and a summary of developments since 1946, including a 1965 speech in Syracuse, N.Y.

Adamski critiques astronomical assumptions, such as the idea of lunar dust being ejected from the moon, questioning how this is possible without an atmosphere. He also points out discrepancies in data regarding Venus's surface temperature as reported by Mariner II, contrasted with findings of ice crystals in the upper atmosphere from a balloon experiment.

The article mentions that information about these phenomena was known to some physicists and military leaders. It cites a 1954 article from 'Blue Book' by J. Millard, suggesting that construction was underway on the moon. George Leonard's book, 'Somebody else is on the Moon,' is also mentioned as providing visible evidence of this.

Adamski recounts his experiences and observations, including a significant event on October 9, 1946, where he and other amateur astronomers witnessed a large, dirigible-like craft with windows and sparks, flying over Mount Palomar, California. This sighting was reportedly corroborated by San Diego radio station KFSB, which noted observers seeing human faces in the craft's windows.

Further UFO reports are detailed, including Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting of nine flying saucers. Adamski notes a recurring pattern of UFO sightings following atomic bomb tests. He also describes his collaboration with J.P. Maxfield of a marine laboratory in 1949 to photograph strange vessels, with Maxfield allegedly stating that 'men' were on the moon.

Adamski's book, 'Les soucoupes volantes ont atterri' (Flying Saucers Have Landed), is referenced, detailing his experiences. He claims that after taking photos, laboratory technicians found the film could hold a static charge, but they were skeptical of 'visitors.' Adamski explains that electromagnetic energy used by these craft could be disrupted by bomb radiation, leading to crashes.

The article discusses Frank Scully's 1950 book, 'Behind The Flying Saucers,' which alleged that 3 saucers crashed in the desert due to atomic tests, containing the bodies of 34 men approximately one meter tall. This claim was denied by authorities, but it generated significant interest among UFO researchers. Adamski recounts being summoned to a conference related to Scully's book, where 'secret service' agents reportedly blocked information dissemination.

Adamski also mentions that three crashed vessels were transported to the Rockefeller Institute for examination, with their physical structures found to be similar to humans. The bodies were then buried, and a priest performed last rites, an act that was initially reprimanded but later permitted by Pope John XXIII for beings of any origin.

Three circular vessels were reportedly sent to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, home of the ATIC. Adamski recounts a controversy involving physicist Martin Gardner, who claimed Silas Newton (an informant for Scully) was imprisoned. Adamski suggests Newton was falsely accused for divulging secret information.

Prehistory and the Candelabra of the Andes

The magazine then shifts to prehistoric mysteries, focusing on the 'Candelabre des Andes' (Candelabra of the Andes) by Robert Charroux. The article explores the attribution of rare objects, sculptures, and writings to unknown civilizations or extraterrestrials, often suggesting they contain a message.

It mentions other large-scale drawings visible from the air, such as those on the Gog and Magog mountains in England and mysterious serpent mounds in the United States. The Candelabra of the Andes, located on a mountain near Lima, Peru, is described as a large geoglyph.

The site is characterized by sandy soil with a thin layer of violet gravel over compact ochre sand. The Candelabra, also called 'The Three Crosses' by some, is situated opposite Pisco. The article details a journey to the site by George Adamski, his wife Yvette, and Edmond Wertenschlag in April 1969, noting the pristine nature of the ground and the remarkable preservation of traces due to the sand dunes.

The Candelabra itself is described as having three arms and a central axis, with some parts bordered by fragile calcareous stones. The central axis might be a depression from a giant toboggan or a whaleboat. The article notes that the arms are less deep and wide than the central axis. The stones along the grooves are half-buried and appear to be randomly placed.

The article discusses the difficulty of reaching the site due to steep slopes and strong winds typical of the Pisco region. It highlights the incredible preservation of traces in the Paracas dunes, suggesting they can remain intact for centuries.

Various interpretations of the Candelabra are presented: it could represent the 'Tree of Life,' or it might be a sign left by pirates to mark treasure locations, as suggested by Eduardo Garcia Montero. Another theory attributes its creation to a Catholic priest, Father Guatemala, in 1835, as a marker for fishermen.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the concept of a unifying 'Cosmic Intelligence' that connects all life, the existence and investigation of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitors, and the exploration of ancient mysteries that hint at advanced or unknown civilizations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting Adamski's personal experiences and theories as significant contributions to the understanding of these phenomena. There is a clear emphasis on challenging conventional scientific and societal explanations in favor of broader, more encompassing interpretations of reality, including the spiritual and the unknown.

Title: BULLETIN COSMIQUE
Issue Date: Mars 1978
Publisher: Ancient Astronaut Society
Country: USA
Language: French

This issue of Bulletin Cosmique explores themes of ancient mysteries, cosmic intelligence, and humanity's place in the universe, alongside early space exploration efforts.

The Paracas Candelabra and Nazca Lines

The article begins by discussing the 'Candelabre des Andes' (Candélabre of the Andes) in Paracas, Peru. It dismisses a religious explanation for the geoglyph, noting that its existence was known and described over a century before such theories. The natural resistance of the sand to dispersion is presented as insufficient to explain the phenomenon. The orientation and steep slope of the mountain are noted as protection against prevailing winds. The author suggests the candelabra is directed towards the Nazca 'drawings', implying a connection that could help solve both enigmas. The region of Paracas is highlighted as rich in archaeological vestiges, including well-known pottery and Inca mummies, suggesting it was a sacred burial site. The text also describes deep caves within the peninsula, potentially used by pirates to hide treasures, and speculates if the candelabra or a trident shape might have served as a marker, though it concludes the candelabra predates the 16th century and is unlikely to be a pirate sign due to its visibility from the sea.

The article further posits that the Paracas Peninsula was under a 'TABOU', with tombs, mummies, and treasures hidden in the mountains. The candelabra is described as a beacon and a sign of taboo. It is compared to the Nazca Lines for their enigmatic nature, with the key difference being that Nazca lines are visible from the air, while the candelabra is visible from the sea. The author entertains the audacious hypothesis that these signs are messages from extraterrestrial beings or an ancient, vanished race.

The Nature of Man and Cosmic Intelligence

The publication then shifts to a philosophical discussion on the nature of man, posing questions about existence, origin, and purpose. Two explanations are offered: philosophical and scientific.

Philosophically, man is a creation of the 'Creator of All Life' (God), made in the image of pure Cosmic Intelligence. Human bodies and senses are seen as channels for this intelligence to express itself. Man has been given dominion over other living creatures, but not over his fellow humans. The text emphasizes that understanding these principles requires an open heart and mind.

Scientifically, man is composed of flesh and bones, with a significant water content. However, the article questions the origin of matter and the intelligence directing its formation into life and celestial bodies. While science might attribute this to 'attraction and repulsion' or 'magnetism', philosophy points to 'Love' as the creative force. Both are seen as valid, as these cosmic laws are interconnected. All things are made of Cosmic Dust, and humans are 'Sons of the Cosmos'. Elements are freely available in space and combine to form bodies for life. Man can master these elements by being guided by his soul rather than his mind, controlling his physical form, health, youth, and longevity.

The text asserts that humans can communicate with living things, including their own bodies, which are described as 'temples of the living God'. The core teaching of Christ, 'My Father and I are One', is highlighted for its profound impact. Human bodies are considered marvelous machines created by Cosmic Intelligence, composed of trillions of cells. The miracle of life, digestion, and reproduction are natural acts that are still fascinating. The universe outside has built the inner universe, urging man to 'know thyself'. The author believes education should teach the magnificence of the human form and spirit to reduce cruelty born from ignorance.

The purpose of man is to be the means of expression for the Intelligence that created him. By realizing he is not the body but the activating intelligence, he can become a citizen of the universe. This understanding also explains the principle of Eternal Life: Cosmic Intelligence or God is an eternal force, making man an eternal being. While forms may disintegrate, the intelligence within is eternal.

George Adamski Foundation and Space Exploration

The publication then discusses the George Adamski Foundation, established after Adamski's death to continue his work. The foundation presents Adamski's philosophy, which is described as universal, non-religious, and non-sectarian, focusing on common sense and reality. It aims to elevate individuals rather than create slaves to opinions. The philosophy emphasizes that every person holds a spark of divinity and equal potential. It warns against those who spread fear and mystery, hindering humanity's progress. The true challenge is safeguarding life and the planet, regardless of beliefs.

Bulletin Cosmique - Mars 1978

The issue includes a section titled 'DESTINATION LUNE!' (Destination Moon!) and a message to 'INCONNUS LES ADORATEURS DU COSMOS' (Unknowns, Adorers of the Cosmos). The author questions the success of space-themed films and suggests it stems from humanity's own ventures into space, leading to an expectation of visitation. The article then presents 'FACTS' about space exploration.

It details that the American space probes 'Voyager I' and 'Voyager II', launched in August 1977, carry 102-minute long-playing records with messages from President Carter and Kurt Waldheim, usable for millions of years. This is presented as a recent manifestation of a 'cult of the Cosmos' practiced by NASA.

The article recounts the 1969 Moon landing by astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin, who left a plaque stating their peaceful arrival. It questions who these messages were addressed to, referencing a secret movement of scientists called 'Adorers of the Cosmos' in the USA, who believe in encountering 'The Others'.

Another section, 'LA "PIERRE DE ROSETTE"' (The 'Rosetta Stone'), describes an object found near the Moon plaque. This aluminum capsule, nicknamed the 'Rosetta Stone' by NASA, contains micro-written peace messages from 74 world leaders, US air navigation laws from 1958, a list of NASA and Senate officials, and excerpts from speeches by Presidents Kennedy and Nixon. The existence of this capsule was revealed through an advertisement by 'Sprague Electric', which led to a severe reprimand from NASA.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of ancient enigmas and their potential extraterrestrial origins, the philosophical and spiritual nature of humanity as part of a larger Cosmic Intelligence, and the early stages of human space exploration and communication with the cosmos. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting theories and facts from a perspective that bridges ancient mysteries with modern scientific and philosophical thought, particularly through the lens of the George Adamski Foundation and the Ancient Astronaut Society. There is a clear emphasis on self-knowledge, universal laws, and the interconnectedness of life and the cosmos.

This issue, titled "BIBLES ET STATUES," appears to be part of a larger publication, possibly a magazine or newsletter, with the page number '28' visible. The content focuses on unexplained phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and encounters, alongside a discussion of items left on the Moon during space missions. The publication date is indicated by a reference to "NICE-MATIN mercredi 19 juillet 1978" and "SUNDAY SUN, JANUARY 8, 1978," suggesting the content was compiled around these dates, likely in 1978.

Apollo Missions and Lunar Artifacts

The article "BIBLES ET STATUES" begins by detailing items left on the Moon by Apollo missions. Apollo XIV reportedly left a Bible with an English microfilm and a 16-language translation of Genesis. Apollo XV carried a 9 cm statuette, created by Belgian artist Paul van Hoeydonk, representing an astronaut. This statuette was placed in the lunar dust next to a plaque bearing the names of 14 astronauts who had died in space exploration (9 American and 5 Russian). Van Hoeydonk later produced copies of the statuette for commercial sale, allegedly breaching his contract with NASA which required silence.

Apollo missions also left behind a plaque with the inscription, "May the spirit of Peace in which we have come reach all of Humanity on Earth." This phrase was signed by President Nixon. Astronaut Cerdan, upon depositing the plaque, stated, "When this plaque is found by others, they will know in what spirit all this began. Here, in December 1972, the Man of Earth completed his first exploration of the Moon."

The article mentions other American space probes like Pioneer, heading towards Mars with inscriptions and drawings. It raises the question of the purpose of these actions, suggesting that US specialists might believe "others" are not only in deep space but also relatively close to Earth.

A significant anecdote recounts Neil Armstrong's alleged exclamation upon landing on the Moon: "About half a mile from here, I see tracks that look remarkably like those made by the caterpillar tracks of a tractor."

Post-Apollo Lunar Missions and UFO Encounters

The text suggests that after Apollo missions, direct transmissions from the Moon ceased, with official explanations citing technical difficulties. It also reports that Apollo XII was allegedly followed by UFOs during its journey, and the "CRION" module from Apollo XVI, after returning to the mother ship, was sent back to the Moon but never arrived.

Several astronauts are quoted as having witnessed strange luminous phenomena, heard voices, and seen silhouettes during their lunar voyages and stays. The article notes that messages are still being sent into space, such as those on the Voyager I and II probes.

The author posits that many people on Earth possess knowledge they do not officially disclose, including unknown materials. This leads to the belief that authorized circles are convinced humanity is not alone in the universe. The crash of a Soviet satellite over Canada is mentioned in this context.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

The issue then shifts to reporting specific UFO sightings:

• Madagascar: An unidentified flying object (UFO) reportedly crashed in the market of Fort-Dauphin on a Friday evening. The object, described as rocket-shaped, illuminated the area before crashing. The explosion caused a fire, but no victims were reported as the market was deserted.

• Argentina: Several residents of Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires province, reported seeing an elongated object resembling a flying saucer. The UFO moved north at a regular speed, then stopped and extinguished its external lights, leaving only a faint internal glow.

• France (Béarn): In the night of July 9-10, several young people in the Béarn region observed about twenty UFOs for over three hours. They described a "ballet" of lights in the sky, with objects of various shapes, sizes, and colors engaging in what appeared to be an aerial battle, projecting flashes.

• Spain (Santander): Numerous people at a campsite in Ajo, Santander, witnessed a luminous, shell-shaped object surrounded by an incandescent cloud over the sea. It was observed at a distance from the coast and disappeared to the north.

• France (Gironde): Two young men near Arcachon reported seeing an oval object, larger than a red phosphorescent airplane, surrounded by white flames. The object moved towards them before deviating and ascending. A similar object was reportedly observed six months prior near Biganos.

Albert Smith's Encounter

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the account of Albert Smith, a gold prospector in Australia. He claims to have encountered 35 men and women from a place called Begua. The encounter began on June 22nd when he saw three lights descend and land near his camp. He described seeing silhouettes emerge from blinding lights.

Smith reported speaking with the visitors, who showed him games resembling lightning and could disappear and reappear. He was astonished when they made it rain instantly. He described the visitors as having a perfectly human physique. Their craft were about 50 meters high, each supported by five legs.

He noted that the visitors seemed to know his questions before he asked them and possessed immense power. They spoke English in whispers and communicated with their hands. One woman claimed to be 490 years old.

During their departure, the leader told Smith it would rain, and it did, for eight days. Smith was prevented from seeing their vessels take off.

This was Smith's fourth experience with extraterrestrials in five years. He also reported seeing a fleet of 16 spacecraft in the winter of 1973 and a cigar-shaped craft in May of the following year, with men in the cockpit and a woman at a porthole, which disappeared in a flash of light.

Smith stated he had not yet reported these events to the authorities, hoping to gather proof. He planned to return with a camera, admitting to hesitation and fear but noting he was not harmed during his first encounter.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life and advanced civilizations interacting with humanity, often through the lens of unexplained aerial phenomena. There's a recurring theme of secrecy, with suggestions that governments and space agencies possess more information than they reveal. The articles present anecdotal evidence, witness testimonies, and reports from various international sources, implying a widespread and ongoing phenomenon. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these mysteries, encouraging readers to consider the possibility that humanity is not alone and that advanced intelligences may be observing or interacting with us. The inclusion of specific dates and locations for sightings lends a sense of journalistic reporting to the extraordinary claims.
