Gazette des Mousquetaires - No 39 - A vrai dire... a dire vrai...

Magazine Overview

Title: La Gazette de l'Ufo
Issue: 39
Date: March 2, 2017

This issue of La Gazette de l'Ufo, dated March 2, 2017, delves into a variety of topics related to ufology, mysteries, and alternative perspectives. The magazine addresses the current state of ufology, new publications, historical UFO cases, and speculative theories.

I - Attendez vous à savoir...

The editorial section discusses the perceived decline in the credibility and interest in ufology, attributing it partly to the internet and a critical, often contrarian, spirit within the community. The author laments the spread of misinformation and the challenges of maintaining a serious approach amidst "tortured intellectuals" and "unbelievable eccentricities." The piece calls for a renewed focus on lightheartedness and a more positive approach to understanding UFO phenomena, suggesting a need to move beyond adolescent obsessions and embrace a new perspective. It critiques the attempt to erase old UFO culture and replace it with a false narrative, likening it to a cuckoo taking over a nest. The author emphasizes the importance of reflection and the potential for disinformation to obscure the truth, advising readers to learn to swim or seek help from rescue services if the situation becomes overwhelming.

II - Reproduction holographique

This section explores the concept of holographic reproduction, sparked by a discussion about a triangular UFO seen over Paris potentially being a hologram. Gérard Deforge explains that holographic reproduction involves scanning a scene in 360 degrees, citing Jean-Luc Mélenchon's use of this technology for political rallies. The technology allows for the creation of a perfectly faithful and animated image on stage, even when the politician is physically elsewhere. The discussion extends to the future of television without screens, where images will occupy space without physical support. It is speculated that advanced civilizations might use such technology to send artifacts that appear material to us. Georges Metz connects this to teleportation and the 3D image of holograms, referencing Robert's "Meeting with the Visitors." A question is raised about whether these "visitors" behaved physically or were merely images, seeking any indication of physical interaction.

Daniel Hofnung mentions similar holographic phenomena in the Bucegi underground room, describing 2-meter high holograms. Jean Claude Venturini suggests physical teleportation, either appearing in two places or one, with normal physical consistency, a phenomenon observed in religious and mediumistic events. Robert Lortal describes physical beings appearing, sitting, and their chairs adjusting to their posture, expressing fascination with these seats. He also recounts an incident in Roumagnac where individuals entered a room through a wall and took blood, with a biologist correcting his heel position during a yoga session.

III - Nouvelles publications

Christel Seval announces the publication of "Un Homme Debout" by clairvoyant Franck Lopvet. The book is described as a new spirituality for the 21st century, offering a lighter and more efficient vision of humanity's place in incarnation. Lopvet's work is said to be a complete renewal of spiritual approach, moving beyond the "new age" to a focus on the human. The review quotes Lopvet's perspective that one should not seek to be noticed by God, suggesting that poverty and being disinherited are better paths to pleasing God. The book is presented as a new paradigm, a "new wind" that redefines the human experience, drawing inspiration from works like "Conversations with God" and "The Power of Now." Franck Lopvet is also noted for leading personal development workshops.

Gilles Lorant expresses his admiration for Christel Seval's prolific publishing output. Jean Claude Venturini congratulates Christel on ushering in a "post-history" era. Christel Seval humbly asks readers to judge the book for themselves.

IV - Les Nazis ont-ils construit des Ovnis?

Michel Turco revisits the topic of Nazi UFOs, referencing a previous article and a German website dedicated to UFOs. He presents two complementary pieces of information related to this subject, one concerning an observation by August Wörner in July 1943 and another related to the "Vril" affair, as revealed by Jean Marc Roeder following a conference in Strasbourg.

Jean Marc Roeder recounts meeting two elderly witnesses. One, an Alsatian conscripted into the Wermacht, reported seeing a reddish saucer-shaped UFO, approximately 20 to 30 meters in diameter, flying at low altitude (about 60 meters) during the battle of Koursk. He noted its resemblance to Vril models and was told it was a top-secret weapon. Another witness, an Alsatian volunteer in the Waffen SS, described being at an airbase in Augsburg in 1944 and being ordered to secure it during a top-secret test, with a threat of execution for any revelations. He witnessed a saucer-like craft, about thirty meters in diameter and fifteen meters high, with a bell shape and a small dome, emitting a faint whistling and buzzing sound. The craft hovered, then ascended vertically, changing color from electric blue to grenat red and bright orange. It accelerated rapidly and disappeared, reappearing ten minutes later and crashing. The witness and his comrades were immediately removed from the scene. Roeder believes these witnesses saw the Vril 5 "Odin" antigravitational prototype.

The article includes a source link to crashdebug.fr and acknowledges Bruno Michelet of Karmapolis for allowing the reproduction of the interview. A postscript from June 30, 2013, notes that Jean Pierre Petit questions the veracity of Jean Marc Roeder's account, while another source deems Roeder reliable. The author advises readers to exercise their own judgment.

V - Le Chevalier Noir, vrai ou faux ?

Michel Turco discusses the "Black Knight" mystery, referencing a film and a YouTube video. He notes that in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," small UFOs formed the Big Dipper constellation. The "Black Knight" video reportedly details a radio signal decrypted by Duncan Lunam, a former NASA employee, which allegedly identified a star in the Epsilon Bootis constellation (in the Bouvier constellation, near the Big Dipper) as the origin of the "satellite's" creators. The question is posed whether this is a deliberate clue or a coincidence.

An article by Jeff Yate from "Metro New Toronto" presents a counter-argument. Yate states that the "Black Knight" has been orbiting Earth since the 1950s, predating Sputnik (1957). He mentions that the object, in polar orbit, was nicknamed "The Black Knight" by ufologists and has been observed multiple times. Gordon Cooper, an American astronaut, reportedly saw strange lights interacting with the Black Knight during the Mercury 9 mission. NASA reportedly explained this away by suggesting Cooper had inhaled too much CO2 and hallucinated. Yate dismisses photos attributed to the Black Knight as originating from the STS-088 space shuttle mission, which had an equatorial orbit, not polar. He suggests the photos might be of thermal blankets lost during a spacewalk, which are not uncommon. He also points out that Gordon Cooper consistently denied seeing a UFO during Mercury 9 and provided NASA transcripts to support this. The article questions why Cooper would be cited if he denied the sighting.

Reader reactions include R. de F., who asserts that the photos are from NASA and their origin is unknown, suggesting that official recognition would prove extraterrestrial manifestation long before Sputnik, but governments would not allow this. D. criticizes the article as deliberate disinformation, arguing that the journalist made no research and cited no sources, questioning the article's intent.

VI - Bon anniversaire, les Mousquetaires de l'Ufo

Gilles Lorant celebrates the "Three Musketeers of UFOlogy," drawing an analogy to Dumas's novel. He describes three individuals with distinct personalities who united in a common cause. He recounts their initial meeting in Toulouse ten years prior and their continued determination despite the passage of time. Lorant shares links to music related to this theme, including a song by the "Blues Brothers" and lyrics for a song.

Gérard Deforge expresses his emotion at Lorant's tribute. Gérard Deforge reflects on the universal mysteries and the shared human experience, likening humanity to being in the same strange, uncertain, and incomprehensible ship, navigating through difficulties until it's time to make way for others.

Georges Metz also thanks Gilles for his "beautiful flight" on the Musketeers. A note from GC (Gilles Coat?) mentions that the Musketeers have multiplied, potentially forming a regiment, but the identity of D'Artagnan remains unknown.

The section concludes with "The Lament of the UFO Musketeers," a poem about searching the sky, tired eyes, and hidden angels.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the fringes of accepted science and history, with a strong focus on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and alternative explanations for historical events. There is a clear skepticism towards official explanations and a willingness to investigate controversial theories, such as Nazi UFOs and the Black Knight satellite. The editorial stance appears to favor open-minded inquiry and the pursuit of unconventional knowledge, while also acknowledging the challenges of misinformation and the need for critical evaluation, as seen in the discussions on Jean Marc Roeder's account and the Black Knight article. The publication also shows an interest in spirituality and new paradigms of thought, as evidenced by the review of Franck Lopvet's book.

This issue of "La Gazette de l'Ufo" (n°39) from March 2, 2017, is dedicated to exploring mysteries beyond conventional understanding, with a strong focus on cryptids, UFOs, and potential conspiracies. The cover prominently features the emblem "LES MOUSQUETAIRES DE L'UFOLOGIE" and the subtitle "VII - Merrylin Cryptid Museum". The issue delves into the enigmatic Thomas Merrylin and his collection, as well as discussions on space exploration controversies and ancient enigmas.

The Merrylin Cryptid Museum

The issue introduces the "Merrylin Cryptid Museum" through a video and text translated by Georges Metz. The museum is described as the life's work of Thomas Merrylin, a "Crypto-naturaliste, Zoologiste marginal et xeno archéologue." The collection is presented as a unique bestiary of crypto zoology, challenging our understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics, yet grounded in scientific evidence and rational thought. Alex CF, the conservator and curator, explains that in 2006, a large collection of sealed wooden crates was discovered in the basement of a London house. These crates, seemingly untouched since the 1940s, contained over 5000 specimens of flora and fauna, dissected and preserved by forgotten scientists and explorers. The collection also includes artifacts of curious origin, fragments of ancient civilizations, and belief systems. The mystery surrounding Merrylin himself is highlighted, with his apparent agelessness and the unusual nature of his specimens, including taxidermied dragons and werewolf forms.

Thomas Theodore Merrylin, born in 1782, is detailed as an aristocrat who, after his father's death, became a recluse dedicated to esoteric natural history and collecting. He maintained a youthful appearance, leading to accusations of practicing dark arts. Despite this, he collaborated with scholars. In 1899, he toured America with part of his collection, but it was met with conservative condemnation. Later, in 1942, an orphanage received a donation of a London townhouse from someone claiming to be Merrylin, with the condition that the basement remain sealed. This promise was kept until the 1960s when the forgotten basement was discovered, revealing the incredible collection.

The Great Sphinx and Hidden Zones

The issue features a section on "VIII - Le Grand Sphinx," including a video link provided by Sylvie Rulekovski. Gérard Deforge comments that this is a small beginning, hinting at a larger revelation akin to the "Bucegi" discovery and global communication. Jean Claude Venturini suggests gathering documents on the "hidden zones" of the Sphinx. Gilles Lorant references the Russian OSIRIS expedition in the mid-20th century, which reportedly discovered a non-human corpse and was linked to the "Kheops and Sphinx" underground areas. He mentions a personal encounter with the daughter of researchers who disappeared during an expedition, who had seen a video of an abduction. Lorant notes that while a part of this video was briefly online, it was then removed, suggesting a possible "American-Russian accord" or cover-up. Edgar Cayce's "The Pyramids and the Sphinx" is also recommended.

Lorant further elaborates on a documentary he saw, which included footage of hieroglyph translation and a celestial alignment event where people disappeared in a bright light. He describes an abduction sequence that appeared very real, though without sound, and mentions a classified Russian document detailing this. He suggests that the discovery of the Sphinx and pyramids is linked to ancient Egyptian embalming techniques and their true purposes.

NASA Conspiracy Theories

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to questioning the integrity of NASA and space exploration. Under the heading "IX - Enorme mensonge de la NASA ?" (Enormous lie from NASA?), Gilles Lorant shares a video questioning the presence of humans on the ISS. Patrice Galacteros finds the video compelling, noting the lack of refutation online and calling it "dynamite." He suggests that the impossibility of long-term life in zero gravity and the alleged use of studios for filming space events are strong indicators of deception. The idea that the entire space program might be a simulacrum, a "Potemkin village," is explored. The article questions the cost and necessity of space programs, especially when domestic infrastructure is in disrepair. It also draws parallels between the psychological changes experienced by Russian cosmonauts after long space missions and the experiences of alleged UFO contactees.

Further discussion points include the alleged use of CGI for the Challenger astronauts' survival, the possibility of alien artifacts in pyramids, and the idea that space missions, including the ISS, are staged. Patrice Galacteros argues that while not everything should be accepted or rejected outright, the difference between a short repair mission and a long stay on the ISS is significant. He questions why ISS videos appear pristine if the station has been in use for 15 years and why NASA immediately cuts feeds when unknown objects appear.

Michel Turco proposes a "crazy hypothesis" that astronauts were intentionally kept off the shuttle during a mission due to a predicted technical catastrophe, thus saving them while also retiring the aging shuttle. Patrice Galacteros supports this, citing criticisms of the shuttle program as a political compromise and warnings from whistleblowers. He suggests the 32-month pause in the program allowed for improvements and was welcomed by those ideologically opposed to human spaceflight.

Other UFO Sightings and Themes

The magazine also touches upon other UFO-related topics. An observation of a PAN (Phénomène Aérospatial Non identifié) or UFO in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on November 29, 2016, is reported, with a video available online. The object was described as having blinking lights and being hexagonal and triangular in shape, which an approaching airplane circumvented.

Jean Claude Venturini shares a link to French content related to the Sphinx and pyramids. The discussion also touches upon the idea that paranormal phenomena in China might be linked to ufology and alchemy. The article concludes by suggesting a return to the study of ancient Egyptian embalming techniques and their connection to the Sphinx and pyramids.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the questioning of official narratives, particularly concerning space exploration and NASA's activities, the exploration of unexplained phenomena like cryptids and UFOs, and the investigation of ancient mysteries. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards mainstream explanations and an openness to unconventional theories, encouraging readers to consider alternative perspectives and the importance of philosophy and respect for life in understanding the universe. The magazine promotes a critical approach, urging readers not to accept or reject information blindly but to seek a nuanced understanding of the truth.
