Editorial Introduction: "Attendez vous à savoir, ou parlons d'Ufologie..."

The editorial section, penned by GC, sets a tone of open discussion about bizarre aerial or non-aerial phenomena. It emphasizes the importance of shared values like rights, solidarity, and sharing, urging readers to move beyond divisive polemics and focus on collective intelligence to build a new world. The author warns against extremism and the dogmatism of 'well-meaning' individuals and sects, advocating for a focus on essential truths rather than outdated arguments. The piece suggests that real-world phenomena, not just ufological ones, are consequences of serious studies and offer a rational path forward, aiming to redefine non-liberal terms that lead to the 'dismemberment' of UFO information.

Article: "La terre tremble à nouveau" (The Earth Trembles Again)

This section reports on a magnitude 3.9 earthquake that occurred in the Hautes-Pyrénées region on Saturday evening. It was the second seismic event of the year in the area, the first being on April 22nd. The earthquake, though short-lived and causing no reported damage, had its epicenter 10 km southwest of Tarbes, between Ossun and Adé. It was felt across a wide area, including the Vallée des Gaves, Nay-Pontacq, Vallée d'Aure, and Bagnères-de-Bigorre. The article explains that the Pyrénées mountain range is situated at the crossroads of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it prone to frequent, though usually minor, seismic activity.

GC adds a note referencing a previous article about a 'Canard Conflict' in Aveyron, stating that this seismic event involved no detonations, only a rumble and a slight tremor, and no aerial activity like bombers or 'flying cigars.' The comment humorously links this to current laws prohibiting smoking in public places, even in the air.

Section II: "Les sons de l'Univers ?" (The Sounds of the Universe?)

This section features a discussion among contributors about unusual sounds heard in the sky. Marc Bethmont asks if anyone has heard loud, prolonged sounds similar to those he experienced near Col de Vence. Gilles Lorant confirms hearing similar sounds in Costa Rica and the Persian Gulf, describing them as filling the atmosphere like a giant organ sound, impressive and unexpected. He provides a YouTube link for examples. Marc Bethmont shares a recent experience of such a sound in Golf Juan.

Section III: "Nuages bizarres ou bizarres nuages?" (Bizarre Clouds or Cloudy Bizarreness?)

Michel Turco shares a photograph, described as authentic and sourced from a UN dossier, showing a phenomenon labeled "Camouflage cloud generation. Cathkin, S.AFRICA. July, 1956." Jean Claude Venturini inquires about the photo's details, wondering if it's a rare meteorological event. Michel Turco promises to provide more information from the dossier, recalling a debate about the phenomenon not being natural, with theories ranging from camouflage systems to condensation within an object's force fields. He notes it remains a unique occurrence.

Later, Michel Turco clarifies that the photo was taken from the analytical report of the 47th session held on December 8, 1978, at the United Nations. He explains that the photo was taken by meteorological technician Elizabeth Klarer on July 7, 1956, in Cathkin, South Africa. The object was disk-shaped and generated a white vapor cloud, described as an excellent camouflage system to blend into the sky, making it unnoticeable to observers.

Jean Claude Venturini acknowledges the photo's historical importance and suggests it be shared with the Academy of Ufology. Gérard Deforge expresses skepticism about the official explanation of natural phenomena, noting that similar clouds have frightened populations in Siberia and Phoenix. He finds the development of such 'prodigies' astonishing and raises questions.

Gilles Lorant offers a meteorological explanation, suggesting it's a convection current caused by warm ground and air on a hot day, leading to rapid cooling at altitude and a sudden drop in pressure. This creates an updraft tunnel, causing condensation and dissipation, forming a mushroom shape. He compares it to the mushroom clouds formed by powerful explosions. However, he questions why such phenomena, if natural, are only now being observed with such intensity.

Gérard Deforge agrees with Lorant's meteorological explanation but emphasizes the gigantism of the phenomenon, its rapid appearance in different global locations, and the resulting fear in populations unfamiliar with it. He notes that Phoenix is known for varied meteorological phenomena and that Siberia is also a region of natural forces.

Gilles Lorant reiterates that natural phenomena operate on a scale far beyond human activities, with natural forces being thousands of times greater than human ones. He uses the example of a cumulonimbus cloud in the tropics covering vast areas and having energy equivalent to several atomic bombs.

The section includes two aerial photos of microbursts over Phoenix, shared by Bruce Hattner, illustrating powerful atmospheric phenomena.

Section IV: "On a retrouvé Philae" (Philae Has Been Found)

This section reports on the discovery of the Philae probe on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The European Space Agency (ESA) published an image taken by the Rosetta probe's Osiris camera from 2.7 km altitude on September 2nd, showing Philae lodged in a cavity. Francis Rocard from Cnes calls it an excellent, unexpected piece of news. Philippe Lamy had predicted Philae's location a year prior, a hypothesis supported by Cnes analyses. The Cnes team worked on reconstructing Philae's position and orientation after its turbulent landing on November 12, 2014, a task made difficult by its two bounces, covering over a kilometer before stopping. The localization involved data from the Consert and Romap instruments and analyses by the Centre d'études spatiales, considering illumination and visibility conditions. The LAM team at Marseille University identified a luminous spot on the comet's surface in images taken by Osiris after landing. Simulations from the Civa camera and Cnes graphics tools helped confirm the orientation and position, leading to the detailed image from Rosetta.

Section V: "Une vérité" sur les Annunakis supposés de la planète Nibiru" ("A Truth" about the Supposed Annunaki of Planet Nibiru)

This section explores theories about the Annunaki, ancient beings from the planet Nibiru. Jean Claude Venturini poses the question of approaching the 'giants of the past.' The text suggests that temples dedicated to these gods were temporary residences where Sumerians sought counsel and judgment. The Annunaki are credited with naming leaders and contributing to cultural enrichment through agricultural techniques and astronomical knowledge. The article questions the justification for the Annunaki's intervention in Sumerian society, suggesting it cannot be solely attributed to poetry, implying a need for a more robust philosophical basis.

Gilles Lorant comments that this type of media may eventually replace publications like Nexus and Top Secret, noting the financial pressure might be less with online content, potentially leading to greater rigor. However, he warns that sensationalism could still emerge. He observes that while the information is largely known to enthusiasts, there's growing competition, and the number of attendees at UFO associations is declining as people can access information online. He notes a trend towards individualism over social interaction, with 'truth' being tacitly accepted through platforms like YouTube.

The author reflects on the concept of 'the man who saw the man who saw the giant's footprint,' suggesting that information is now presented in a polished, professional manner, making it harder to critique. This formatted information tends to divide the world, making it difficult to conduct research solely based on it. The author believes that giants did exist, with recognized traces, though the scientific community is hesitant to discuss it. The question is raised whether they still exist and if they are a result of natural evolution. The possibility of their ancestors being contemporary with dinosaurs is mentioned, suggesting a long evolutionary history. The text speculates that small groups of giants might still exist, possibly linked to Bigfoot and Yeti phenomena, and notes a statistical correlation between UFO sightings and sightings of hairy giants in areas with geological faults.

Section VI: "Suite: Crânes de Caracas" (Continuation: Skulls of Caracas)

This section continues a discussion from a previous issue (La Gazette n°27) about the Caracas skulls. Gilles Lorant provides two remarks based on official ESA research. First, he states that bone structures do not develop correctly without gravity, especially under strong acceleration. Second, he notes that the eye sockets are similar to those that would develop naturally in dim light, but not complete darkness. Based on this, if the skulls are extraterrestrial, it's concluded that they likely had a carbon-based metabolism, an endoskeleton, a genetic growth capacity, and required a gaseous atmosphere. They would not have lived on 'flying saucers' due to acceleration issues and historically originated from dimly lit zones. The possibility of them being cousins and living underground is raised.

Jean Claude Venturini suggests that if saucers can master gravity, they can protect occupants from strong accelerations, a concept previously advanced by researchers. He notes the difficulty in drawing conclusions from high technological levels.

Gilles Lorant admits to forgetting some details but expresses empathy for these beings, finding them fragile and close to humans, suggesting humans have also caused them hardship. He then shifts to discussing maltreatment, not just of 'little grey' aliens but also in the context of globalization, citing an MSN article about tourist attractions to avoid in India and South Africa. He questions how humanity can achieve cosmic fraternity when such issues exist. He reflects on the vast technological gap previously discussed, stating that current human progress is slow and it would take millennia to achieve ideals formulated a century ago. He concludes by quoting Yuval Noah Harari from 'Sapiens,' stating, "Man's history began when he invented the Gods, it will end when they become Gods."

Title: La Gazette de l'Ufo
Issue: n°28
Date: September 22, 2016

This issue of La Gazette de l'Ufo features a collection of short articles and discussions touching upon ufology, ancient mysteries, and cutting-edge astronomy.

Discussion on Extraterrestrial Intelligence and UFOs

The issue opens with a brief exchange between Jean Claude Venturini and Gilles Lorant, humorously suggesting that extraterrestrials might fear being obligated to participate in the Olympic Games. This sets a light-hearted tone before delving into more substantial topics.

Section VII: The Enormous Spheres

Under the heading "VII - Les énormes sphères...", Gérard Deforge presents "another mystery." A link is provided to an article about an enormous sphere discovered in Bosnia, a topic previously covered in issue n°25 of La Gazette de l'Ufo. The author, identified as GC, reflects on the potential purpose of these spheres, questioning if they are meant to "repair" the living. The text muses on the value of old stones as witnesses or storytellers, comparing them to alignments like Karnak in Egypt and the granites of Sidobre in France. The author posits that these stones might recount humanity's relationship with matter's transformation throughout history and the universe's own story, describing them as "sacred epics." The author, identifying as a "modern druid" and "bard," shares a personal connection, listening to and confiding in these stones.

Section VIII: Latest News

Section VIII, "Dernière nouvelle...", presents an article attributed to "Paris Match" concerning the future "Large Synoptic Survey Telescope" (LSST). This international research effort will create the most extensive celestial catalog ever compiled. With its 8.40-meter diameter mirror, the LSST is designed to observe the universe's transformations in real-time over a decade, determining the dynamics of 10 billion galaxies. Its primary goals include shedding new light on dark matter and dark energy, which are responsible for the universe's expansion and remain largely unknown.

The article further details the LSST's technical specifications, noting the combination of three large, differently curved mirrors made of glass blocks weighing 22 tons. After six years of polishing, the telescope will possess a wide field of vision. By repeatedly observing the same points with different filters, it will be able to subtract atmospheric effects that hinder infrared observations. The telescope promises remarkable speed, archiving 2 million events each night. The article is credited to Caroline Audibert of PM.
