Gazette des Mousquetaires - No 07 - Esprit critique

Magazine Overview

This issue of "La Gazette Des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo" (Issue 7, dated January 8, 2016) features a cover story titled "OVNI au Maroc" by Gérard Lebat. The magazine explores a range of topics, including the potential dangers of microchips, critical thinking, the advanced astronomical knowledge of the Dogon people, and UFO sightings.

Articles and Discussions

Le danger des puces – L'esprit critique (The danger of fleas – Critical thinking)

This section, initiated by Gilles Lorant, discusses the implications of microchips, distinguishing them from insect fleas. It touches upon Canada as a location for UFO sightings and the skepticism surrounding such phenomena. The author questions the open-mindedness of scientists and suggests that critical thinking is not always taught at university. A YouTube video is referenced concerning the potential for mandatory subcutaneous electronic chips. The discussion then shifts to RFID chips, referencing a France 2 report from the 1980s about barcode technology and its alleged connection to the number 666. Pierig contributes by framing this as 'merchandising,' where financial and economic systems, along with intelligence agencies and governments, leverage technology for profit and control. The development of neuromarketing, which analyzes subconscious responses, is also highlighted as a tool for influencing consumers. Gilles Lorant further elaborates on how technology, like Google's 3D city mapping and augmented reality, aims to create virtual environments and analyze population flows, potentially leading to a 'cognitive' danger from marketing.

The Dogon People's Astronomical Knowledge

This section, introduced by Gilles Lorant, delves into the extraordinary astronomical knowledge of the Dogon people from Mali. It highlights that their understanding of celestial bodies, particularly Sirius and its companion star Sirius B, predates modern scientific discovery. The article references works by Eric Guerrier and Robert Temple, who propose theories of extraterrestrial contact to explain this advanced knowledge. The discussion includes contributions from Gérard Deforge and Jean Claude Venturini, questioning the certainty of the Dogon's knowledge about Sirius B and its visibility. Gilles Lorant also mentions the discovery of an artistic anchor shape in a video, which he claims corresponds to the orbits of Sirius A, B, and C, and that the Dogon can designate their positions in the sky.

Histoires de Crop's (Crop Circle Stories)

Georges Metz shares his experience attending video conferences by Uberto Molinaro on crop circles and has communicated his own 'agro glyph' artwork to Molinaro. Vincent Leroux also attended a conference by Molinaro three years prior, finding his analyses of crop circles to be interesting, combining mathematics, esotericism, and sacred geometry.

Other Discussions and Contributions

The issue includes various email exchanges and personal reflections. Gilles Lorant shares his thoughts on the unpredictability of life and the tendency to suppress it, contrasting it with genuine human connection. He also references a Paris Match article about a UFO video authenticated by the Scientific Coalition for Ufology, detailing an incident in Puerto Rico involving an object moving underwater and in the air. Pierig and Christel are acknowledged for their appreciation of Dolores Cannon's work in hypnotherapy. Philippe Solal offers New Year's wishes and reflects on his preference for exploring theoretical positions privately. The issue also touches upon environmental concerns, such as plastic pollution and the development of biodegradable alternatives by Algopack.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around critical examination of technology and its societal impact, the potential for manipulation and control through surveillance and marketing, and the exploration of ancient knowledge and unexplained phenomena like UFOs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging critical thinking while acknowledging the complexities and potential dangers of modern advancements and the enduring mysteries of the universe. There's a blend of skepticism and openness to unconventional ideas, particularly concerning UFOs and ancient civilizations.

This issue of *La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo*, dated January 8, 2016, delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, consciousness, and spirituality. It features a collection of comments and discussions among readers and contributors, centered around a conference given by Philippe Guillemant in Nice and exploring themes of crop circles, the nature of reality, and personal experiences.

Conference on UFOs and Transcendence in Nice

The issue highlights a conference given by Philippe Guillemant in Nice on December 11, 2015. Philippe Solal, in a mail to the Laboratoire Aimé Michel (LAM), expresses his admiration for Guillemant's work, stating that it reconciles science and philosophy and signifies an intellectual shift. Solal posits that UFO phenomena (PAN) are not about extraterrestrial visits but about our transcendence, redefining ufology as 'Theology'. This perspective aligns with the ideas of Aimé Michel, John Keel, and Jacques Vallée.

Crop Circles and Personal Experiences

Gilles Lorant shares his thoughts on crop circles, referencing a conference by a Mr. Molinaro whose analysis of crop circles, based on mathematics, esotericism, and sacred geometry, he found convincing regarding their non-human origin. Lorant also recounts a personal, intimate experience: a vivid dream where he created a crop circle in the shape of a saucer, which he later saw depicted in images, suggesting a deep personal connection to the phenomenon. He notes that while he had a feeling of knowing, it lacked formal evidence until later encounters with information.

Commentary on UFOs and Consciousness

Several commentators engage in a discussion sparked by Philippe Guillemant's ideas. Laurence Traiffi asks about the possibility of pursuing physics without traditional equations for a dyspraxic student, to which Guillemant responds that physics can involve other tools like cybernetics and algorithms, not just equations, but understanding equations remains crucial. Traiffi also reflects on the nature of truth and the possibility of no death.

Daniel Robin disagrees with Solal's assertion that PAN are not extraterrestrial, believing them to be material objects of likely extraterrestrial origin. However, he agrees that PAN closely interact with human consciousness, a point he has explored in his book "Ovnis et Conscience." Georges Metz offers a mediating view, suggesting that both perspectives have merit and will eventually converge. He proposes that ufology leads to spirituality through philosophy and that what is not terrestrial becomes, by definition, extraterrestrial, but this could also mean phenomena not perceived by common senses. Metz also notes that entities manifesting can take any form, depending on the observer's culture and beliefs.

Gérard Deforge is motivated by the potential link between paranormal experiences and the hypothesis of an immaterial origin for UFO manifestations, aiming to establish a scientifically verifiable link between the material and immaterial aspects.

Gilles Lorant, in a subsequent exchange, defends the ideas presented in "Ovnis et Conscience," acknowledging that consciousness might underlie various phenomena. He cautions against confining the UFO phenomenon solely to human technology or abstract theories, suggesting a more nuanced approach.

Spiritual Emergence and Hypnotic Regression

Pierig introduces the work of Dolores Cannon, an author whose books on hypnotic regression have not been translated into French. Cannon's method allows contact with the 'Subconscious' or 'True Self,' and Pierig believes it offers insights into how UFOs operate, a topic often debated by ufologists. He shares a link to a French summary of her work.

Christel Seval confirms the value of Dolores Cannon's work, mentioning her own efforts to publish Cannon's books in France, which were hindered by high royalty rates. She notes that Cannon was a remarkable woman and recommends her books to those who can read English.

Marc Auburn's Work

Vincent Leroux shares a video by Marc Auburn related to 'Spiritual Emergence.' Guy Loterre initially struggles to find the video link but later receives it. Loterre also mentions that Christel Seval had presented Marc Auburn's book, "0.001% l'expérience de la réalité," at an event in Paris, though the event's documentation was lost.

Michel Turco shares his personal notes from the evening, and Roro discusses Marc Auburn's work, emphasizing deep hypnosis and meditation as means to contact the 'self' and achieve altered states of consciousness. Roro asserts that individual freedom is key and that the physical universe observed is only a tiny fraction of the total existing universe.

Photo Surprise: Luminous Object and Energy Phenomena

Myrbel reports a strange experience and shares two photos taken on December 20, 2015, in Saint Salvi de Carcavès, Tarn, France. During a visit to a house, Myrbel felt a benevolent energy. The photos captured a luminous object, possibly a plasma-haloed artifact with visible 'hublots,' suspended in the air. Daniel Hofnung analyzes the photos, noting the object's appearance and unusual light phenomena on the house, including a descending light that appeared as an inverted shadow, sometimes white and sometimes rose-colored. The analysis suggests a connection between the luminous object and the light on the house, with a time difference of 10-15 minutes between the two photos.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of UFO phenomena, questioning their origin (extraterrestrial vs. transcendent vs. consciousness-related) and their implications for our understanding of reality. There's a strong emphasis on the role of consciousness and the subconscious in these phenomena, as explored through hypnotic regression and personal experiences. The magazine fosters a dialogue among its readers, encouraging diverse perspectives and a critical yet open-minded approach to these complex subjects. The editorial stance appears to be one of exploration and open inquiry into the unexplained, seeking to bridge scientific, philosophical, and spiritual viewpoints.

This issue of La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo focuses heavily on a detailed UFO investigation conducted in Er Rachidia, Morocco, by Gérard Lebat. The magazine also includes a brief personal note from Gilles Lorant about recovering from a system failure.

Personal Note: System Bug

Gilles Lorant writes on December 7, 2015, about a system failure that occurred on Monday, causing him to lose 350 emails. He is using a backup computer and recovering data. He anticipates being offline for a few days while he restores his IT functions and prioritizes professional emails. He apologizes for any communication delays.

Introduction to the Er Rachidia Case

Jean Claude Venturini introduces an investigation from Morocco by Gérard Lebat, describing it as a particularly important case study. The article is titled "L'immense Ovni Ovale Multicolore de Er Rachidia, Sud Maroc (19 MARS 2015)" and is published with the authorization of Gérard Lebat.

Avant Propos (Foreword)

The foreword addresses potential reader concerns from Moroccan locals who might find details about local life, habits, or witness personalities unnecessary in UFO reports. The author argues that understanding the context, local peculiarities, and the witness's personality and psychological background is crucial for a thorough UFO investigation. While reports typically omit private details, a summary is provided to help readers understand the observation, the witness, and their environment. In line with standard practice for investigations in Morocco, the witness's name and exact location are withheld due to the sensitive nature of UFO phenomena and potential issues with police services. The investigation prioritizes direct contact with the witness, avoiding authorities or local administrations.

Er Rachidia: A City in Southern Morocco on the Edge of the Desert

This section provides geographical and contextual information about Er Rachidia and its province. It is a sparsely populated region in south-central Morocco, situated behind the Atlas Mountains. Despite being somewhat isolated, the region has produced notable personalities, including the mausoleum of Moulay Ali Chérif in Rissani. The population is described as welcoming and dynamic. The ancient city of Sijilmassa, located in the region, was a significant commercial and spiritual center in the 8th century and a key meeting point for Africa, Europe, and the East in the 16th century. Er Rachidia and its province have historically shown a strong openness to the world, despite their remote location.

The region is oriented towards tourism, though not yet developed like cities such as Marrakech or Fez. A new airport is under construction, signaling future potential. The area boasts a rich heritage, including numerous ksours, ksars, and kasbahs (palaces or castles), earning it the title "Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs." It also features rock carvings and 10th-century libraries. Tourism activities include desert experiences like sand baths and camel or 4x4 rides in the dunes near Merzouga. The inhabitants are open to global events and have access to culture. While the UFO phenomenon is not unknown to those who speak French or have acquired knowledge, it is rarely discussed in Moroccan media. The infrastructure in Morocco is noted as not being comparable to that in France.

The Witness and How the Observation Was Received

The information about this case was transmitted by the witness's wife, who was in France at the time and contacted Anne Duflot, a specialist in RR4 (unexplained phenomena) and psychological support for witnesses. Anne Duflot advised the wife to contact the author.

The author received an email on March 21, 2015, from the witness's wife, providing initial details. Her husband, working in Er Rachidia, witnessed an unexplained phenomenon on the evening of March 19, 2015, along with two other people. The following evening, the phenomenon reappeared, and he called as many people as possible to witness it. By the next morning, he had identified 12 witnesses. Surprisingly, one person contacted, who was supposed to be directly under the object, reported seeing nothing, nor did their family.

Investigation in Er Rachidia

The author requested more information and wished to meet the witness. The witness, Mohamed (a pseudonym), initially hesitant due to his strategic position in a local administration, eventually agreed to be interviewed, trusting the author's promise of confidentiality. They met in Marrakech around May 2015, and it was agreed that the author would travel to Er Rachidia to investigate the site with Mohamed.

In November 2015, the author traveled to Er Rachidia, a journey of over 500 km from Marrakech, involving crossing the Atlas Mountains via the Tichka pass. Upon arrival, the author met Mohamed, and they visited the observation site south of the city, near the main road from Ouarzazate. The location offered a clear view of the surrounding mountains and the sky above.

The Observation on March 19, 2015

Mohamed described seeing a multitude of lights of various colors (green, red, yellow, blue) forming a vast, silent craft. He perceived a dark, oval, immense shape detached from the sky, estimated to be over a kilometer long, spanning two mountain peaks. The lights were fixed and did not move. There was no sound, despite his expectation of hearing "reactors." He observed the object for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. He noted that the object was not an airplane or a rocket and could not identify it. The experience caused perplexity and some fear, especially among the children present. As it was prayer time, Mohamed briefly left, and upon returning, the object was still there and immobile.

After some minutes, the object began to move away very slowly towards the south, without gaining altitude, remaining just above the mountain peaks. Mohamed, his daughter, and her friend followed in his car, heading towards Ouarzazate. Despite accelerating, he could not catch up, as the object moved faster. It stopped above a large, flat-topped mountain mass. The object's multicolored lights made its contours visible against the sky. The lights were described as small, intensely colored, and flickering. The object appeared immense, matching the length of the mountain mass. After about ten minutes, the object moved rapidly eastward, diminishing in size until it disappeared.

Mohamed and the children were surprised and unable to identify the object. The children mentioned Martians, while Mohamed was intrigued and questioned the phenomenon. He regretted not being able to take photos, but the author reassured him that modern phone cameras and the potential for photo manipulation make photographic evidence less conclusive.

The Observation on March 20, 2015

The following day, March 20, 2015, Mohamed was driving home when he called his wife and mentioned seeing the object again, this time towards the Atlas Mountains. He described it as identical to the previous night's sighting, immense, and visible clearly in the clear sky, though appearing more distant and not moving. His wife urged him to contact others to verify his account. He called his son, who had initially dismissed the sighting, and about a dozen other people. All of them observed the phenomenon. Later, Mohamed learned that other people in the region had also witnessed it, but the information remained confidential within families and friend circles due to the lack of local media coverage.

Mohamed observed the phenomenon for another twenty minutes before deciding to return home, as the object remained stationary. He then decided to meet someone he knew at the Er Rachidia Airport. However, his contact reported that no one at the airport had observed the phenomenon.

Follow-up and Analysis

Despite the airport's lack of confirmation, other witnesses in the city and surrounding areas reported seeing the "object with a thousand lights" in the following days. Opinions among Mohamed's acquaintances were divided: some disbelieved him, others were intrigued, and some were fearful. No one could identify the object, leaving it an enigma.

The author and Mohamed retraced the steps of the March 19, 2015 observation, confirming the details. The author concludes that Mohamed genuinely witnessed an unusual, unidentified aerial phenomenon that could not be classified as terrestrial or natural. The article references a similar 2008 sighting in Ksar El Kébir, Morocco, which involved a multicolored object but was not described as having the same immense dimensions as the Er Rachidia object.

The author notes that large UFOs are not rare, with hundreds or thousands reported globally, often described as "flying cigars" in the 1950s or as large as "football stadiums" or "ocean liners." However, he found no similar cases to Mohamed's description of an immense, elongated object covered in scintillating multicolored lights.

Publication Details

The article is presented with modifications due to text editor constraints, but the content is stated to be integral and respectful of the author. Confidentiality regarding the observation location and dates is maintained, with witness names omitted and pseudonyms used. The history of UFOs in Morocco is available online and as a book by Gérard Lebat.
