Magazine Overview

Title: La Gazette des Mousquetaires De l'Ufo
Issue: Numéro 80
Date: May 7, 2020
Theme: UFOs, extraterrestrial phenomena, and broader philosophical and societal issues.

I - A Ceux Qui Aiment La Vérité (To Those Who Love Truth)

This section revisits the foundational editorial from the first issue of 'Lumières Dans La Nuit' (Lights in the Night) in February 1958. The editorial emphasizes the confusion and controversies surrounding vital questions of the time, including rational agriculture, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), humanity's destiny, and the dangers of radioactivity. The publication aimed to shed light on these issues by presenting studies that highlight often-unknown truths and advancing the search for certain truths. It stresses that human drama stems from unacknowledged or unapplied truths, particularly spiritual, moral, and physical ones necessary for human equilibrium. The editorial argues that reforming institutions without reforming individuals is nonsensical. Beyond human-centric truths, it highlights the importance of investigating external phenomena like UFOs, astral influences, and astronomy. The authors express a somber view of the world's destiny, believing it might be irrevocably set, but maintain that disseminating important truths can help others see the 'Lights in the Night' and profit from them. The first issue was mimeographed, with hopes of transitioning to printed issues based on subscription rates.

II - Quand tout "foire" (When Everything Goes Wrong)

This section, dated April 2020, reflects on the current global anxiety, particularly concerning the pandemic, drawing a parallel to the historical context of the magazine's inception. It uses a metaphorical approach to discuss the overwhelming nature of current events, comparing them to natural disasters like floods and accidents. The author reflects on how these extreme events, often exacerbated by human actions, serve as a reminder of nature's power and humanity's vulnerability. The text contrasts the past, with its simpler routines and community life, to the present, marked by a sense of disorientation and a need to reconnect with reality. It touches upon personal memories of a cosmopolitan neighborhood, highlighting community bonds and local characters. The narrative then shifts to a discussion of past health issues and societal conditions, contrasting them with the present, and alludes to the impact of historical events like the Liberation and the Indochina war on the collective memory.

III - Les soucoupes volantes sont des astronefs – Leur origine est extraterrestre (Flying Saucers are Spacecraft - Their Origin is Extraterrestrial)

This extensive section, authored by Raymond Veillith, a perpetual member of the Astronomical Society of France, presents a detailed analysis of UFO phenomena, arguing for their extraterrestrial origin. It draws upon studies conducted in 1955 and 1957, citing Monsieur Aimé Michel's book 'Lueurs sur les Soucoupes volantes' (Glimmers on Flying Saucers). The article presents several key points:

1. Correlation with Mars: UFO sightings often coincide with periods close to Mars's perigee, suggesting a non-random pattern.
2. Systematic Observation: UFO observation appears systematic, moving from West to East, with increased sightings reported in the US (1948, 1950, 1952), Europe (1952, 1954, 1956), and Asia.
3. Global Simultaneous Sightings: Sightings occur simultaneously worldwide, with higher density in certain regions.
4. Landings: Landings have been reported globally since autumn 1954 in countries like France, Italy, Norway, the UK, the US, and Iran.
5. Movement Pattern: Witnesses consistently describe a characteristic 'rocking' motion where the object shifts from horizontal to near-vertical, a phenomenon observed globally.
6. Nocturnal Observations: During rapid acceleration, UFOs reportedly change color to a bright intensity.
7. Magnetic Remanence: Two cases of magnetic remanence have been documented after alleged UFO landings, showing significant compass needle deviation, suggesting magnetic propulsion.
8. Radar Confirmations: Multiple radar observations confirm the existence of craft with speeds of tens of thousands of kilometers per hour, exhibiting intelligent control.
9. Historical Sightings: Testimonies predate aviation and sounding balloons, dating back to previous centuries.
10. Advanced Technology: The maneuvers and behavior of these craft exceed current terrestrial technological capabilities.
11. US Involvement: The article questions whether the US government would have ordered Captain Mantell and other pilots to pursue a UFO if it were a US craft, especially given Mantell's death. It also references a US commission of inquiry and reports of Canadian factories building a 'flying saucer' for the US.
12. Russian Involvement: It questions why the US Air Force would be ordered not to fire on UFOs if they were Russian, citing Major Keyhoe's work. It also discusses a sighting in the Sahara in April 1942, which remained stationary for 48 hours, defying astronomical explanations.
13. Oloron and Gaillac Incidents: Two significant observations in Oloron (October 17, 1952) and Gaillac (October 27, 1952) involved hundreds of witnesses seeing over twenty objects that dropped filaments resembling cotton or wool. These filaments disintegrated, but in these two cases, they left traces for a few hours.

14. Mantell Case: Regarding Captain Mantell's pursuit of a UFO, the article notes that photographs of his wreckage debris remain secret, as does his medical report. The entire case file is reportedly held by the Pentagon.

IV - Au passage, sur Internet, Philippe Guillemant (In Passing, on the Internet, Philippe Guillemant)

This section features an interview with physicist Philippe Guillemant, who discusses the coronavirus pandemic and confinement. He proposes a theory of time where the future is already realized but can be influenced by present actions, leading to coincidences and 'bridges' to a new future. Guillemant outlines four types of causes for the Corona pandemic: the 'mean virus' (official theory of natural origin), the 'mean banker' (conspiracy theory involving deliberate spread for control), the 'good banker' (suggesting the virus masked a necessary financial collapse and allowed for a controlled reset), and the 'good virus' (implying nature's response to human destruction). He leans towards the 'good banker' theory but acknowledges the complexity and the role of human intention and emotion in shaping events. He suggests that the current crisis might be guiding humanity away from a transhumanist future towards a more beneficial one, representing a paradigm shift.

V - Le secret de Polichinelle (The Secret of Polichinelle)

This section discusses the release of videos by the US Navy showing unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). It mentions that a video from the Planète+ channel, which was blocked due to copyright, was recovered. The article details how in November 2019, the Navy authenticated three videos filmed by F18 pilots in November 2004 near the USS Nimitz. These videos show a capsule-shaped object exhibiting physics-defying maneuvers. The radar of the USS Princeton confirmed the presence of multiple objects. The article references the 'Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program' (AATIP), a secret Pentagon program, and quotes former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who advocated for funding research into UFOs. The New York Times also reported on this secret program, which received tens of millions of dollars. Alain Juillet, former director of French secret services (DGSE), comments on the significance of a US senator requesting an investigation, indicating a real problem. Commander David Fravor, an F18 pilot involved in the Nimitz incident, describes the object's abrupt movements, its ability to hover, and its rapid acceleration, stating it was unlike anything he had ever seen and likely not of this world. The article notes that the US military has since allowed pilots to report such phenomena without fear. It also mentions that other countries have established research programs for UAPs, and in France, the Sigma 2 commission examines credible cases like the Nimitz affair. Luc Dini provides details about the naval exercises where radar echoes of objects were observed at high altitudes and low speeds.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the UFO phenomenon from a perspective that leans towards the extraterrestrial hypothesis, presenting detailed case studies and scientific analyses. It also broadens its scope to include philosophical discussions on truth, human nature, and societal challenges, as seen in the sections on the magazine's origins and the physicist's commentary on the pandemic. The editorial stance appears to be one of seeking and disseminating 'truth,' encouraging critical thinking, and fostering a sense of shared human destiny, while acknowledging the complexities and potential dangers of the unknown.

Title: La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo
Issue: n°80
Date: May 7, 2020

This issue of "La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo" focuses on the investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), exploring scientific, military, and witness perspectives. It features discussions with experts, analysis of significant cases, and insights into government involvement.

Sigma 2 and the Scientific Approach

The magazine introduces Sigma 2, an organization founded in 2013 comprising fighter pilots, engineers, military personnel, and even an astronaut, including Jean-François Clervoy. Pierre Bescond, former director of the Kourou site, expresses his disagreement with scientists who dismiss UAP as "nonsense," emphasizing the importance of observing and scientifically analyzing phenomena, even if immediate understanding is not possible.

Luc Dini highlights the need for research into UAP and notes that reported sightings are uniformly distributed across distances and altitudes. He also mentions that information is correlated between different radars.

GEIPAN: France's Official UAP Investigation Body

Sigma 2 collaborates with the official French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), specifically its branch, GEIPAN (Groupe d'Etudes et d'Informations sur les Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non Identifiés). Roger Baldaccino explains that GEIPAN's role is to collect, analyze, and inform based on witness testimonies from France. It is not an alert, research, or surveillance service but an analysis unit that examines witness accounts, photos, and sketches. GEIPAN aims to identify known phenomena that might explain observations, but cases that remain unexplained are classified as such.

Jean-Jacques Velasco, a former director of GEIPAN, recounts that an unsolved case in France was the catalyst for the organization's creation. He details a 1951 incident near Orange where Air Force pilots observed an object matching aircraft speeds, which then accelerated dramatically. This event led to a report that prompted the creation of an official body to collect and analyze UAP data. Claude Poher, a ufologist and astronomer, was tasked with establishing GEIPAN.

Pierre Bescond commends CNES for its courage in addressing this interrogation scientifically, by creating GEIPAN to investigate unexplained phenomena.

International Perspectives and Key Cases

The magazine touches upon a 2013 case submitted to Sigma 2 that remains unexplained. It involved radar echoes and a light observed by air traffic control at Aquadilla, Puerto Rico. An American maritime patrol aircraft equipped with infrared cameras captured footage of an object hovering, then diving into the sea without a splash, leaving a thermal trace. This case was studied by American experts, resulting in a 160-page report concluding the phenomenon was inexplicable, particularly its ability to enter water without creating waves and to separate into two.

Alain Juillet discusses the ongoing interest of the US Pentagon and armed forces in unidentified objects due to regular alerts and the need for military personnel to understand potential threats. He notes that this concern dates back to the end of World War II, with numerous investigation commissions, including the famous Project Blue Book, led by Joseph Allen Hynek, who eventually acknowledged the reality of inexplicable phenomena.

Major General John Samford states that the Air Force must investigate flying saucers to identify potential threats to the United States, having analyzed between 1,000 and 2,000 reports since 1947, some of which described incredible events.

Harry Reid emphasizes that UAP are not just aerial phenomena, citing unusual underwater events and strange occurrences reported by boaters. He stresses the importance of understanding these phenomena.

The MUFON Network and Government Disclosure

The MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) is presented as a network of scientists and engineers that has been collecting testimonies across the US since the 1950s, with an antenna in France. MUFON is taken seriously by the government, and its reports influenced Senator Harry Reid's motivation for the Pentagon's Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP).

Jan Harzan explains that MUFON data was used to justify funding for the AATIP program, as revealed in a New York Times article in December 2017. He views this as the beginning of a genuine disclosure of the phenomenon.

Luc Dini suggests that the increased communication from military and political officials is a form of "communication operation" and a way to prepare the public for a new reality, possibly the confirmation of extraterrestrial visitation.

Alain Juillet elaborates that this communication aims to sensitize the American population and prepare them for the possibility of being visited by other worlds. He acknowledges the potential for problems and risks associated with such a revelation, as humans dislike situations they cannot control.

Paul Hynek, son of Joseph Allen Hynek, notes a shift in the US government's communication policy regarding UAP, suggesting an effort to habituate the public to the possibility of a major revelation.

Luis Elizondo believes that disclosure is an ongoing process, not a single event, and that the $22 million spent on the AATIP program was not for nothing.

Robert Bigelow and Advanced Research

The magazine highlights Robert Bigelow, a businessman convinced of extraterrestrial life, whose company, Bigelow Aerospace, directed much of the research for the AATIP program. Harry Reid explains that Bigelow Aerospace was awarded the contract due to its long-standing interest in these phenomena and its superior proposal, which included advanced technological aspects.

Bigelow Aerospace's research, as revealed in declassified DIA documents, covered complex subjects like anti-gravity, nuclear propulsion, wormholes, and magnetohydrodynamics. Bigelow founded the National Institute for Discovery Science in 1995 to investigate scientific mysteries, including UFOs, investing millions of his personal fortune.

Valensole Case: A French Enigma

The Valensole case, a well-known encounter from July 1, 1965, is detailed. Farmer Maurice Masse reported seeing two small entities near a craft in his lavender field. He was paralyzed by a beam from a tube and experienced a deep sleep for several days. Maurice Chaspoul, a friend of Masse, described his friend's distress and the kindness he perceived in the entities' eyes. Jean-Jacques Velasco noted that Masse fell into a profound sleep that lasted for days.

Jacques Rochas examined photographs of the site, noting a peculiar ground trace consisting of a cylinder with three oblique holes, suggesting a non-amateur origin. The area also showed signs of heat damage to almond trees.

A reporter describes the village of Valensole being in an uproar following the appearance of a flying saucer. The main witness, Masse, had reportedly gone on vacation. The patron of a local establishment confirmed Masse's account, stating that Masse had seen a craft land in his field and had asked him not to speak about it.

Jean-Jacques Velasco mentions that the Valensole case, along with others, was examined by GEIPAN and that even Yves Rocard, the father of the French atomic bomb, studied the case, suggesting a potential link between nuclear phenomena and UAP.

Nuclear Sites and UAP

Jean-Jacques Velasco discusses the frightening nature of nuclear and thermonuclear tests, particularly those conducted in the atmosphere between 1960 and 1961. He notes that strategic nuclear sites were frequently overflown, citing reports from Dr. Edward Teller, who explained regular overflights of nuclear sites like CRIDGE, Watson's, Sandia, and Roswell.

In the magazine "True," Commander Robert Mac Laughlin reported that radars detected flying saucers over White Sands, New Mexico, during a rocket test. One object, about 30 meters in diameter, flew at over 700 meters per second and could not have been manufactured on Earth.

Harry Reid recounts instances where missile bases in the Midwest, including Dakota, were mysteriously deactivated, with military personnel witnessing objects in the sky at night, sometimes interrupting base communications.

A troubling case from 1967 involved a silo at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. Lieutenant Robert Salas reported that during his guard duty, a surface guard called to report strange lights and a cigar-shaped object moving erratically. Shortly after, 10 missiles went offline and could not be launched manually. Guards observed UFOs over the launch site, and the incident occurred near silos.

Jean-Jacques Velasco points out a correlation between the timing of atmospheric nuclear tests and UAP appearances, with a two-year lag. He suggests this similarity is curious and may indicate a connection.

Extraterrestrial Involvement and Global Concerns

Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of Defense, claims that during the Cold War, UFOs flew from Russia towards Europe, causing concern about potential nuclear war. He states that an investigation revealed at least four different species of extraterrestrials have visited Earth for thousands of years, and their activity increased after the invention of the atomic bomb. They are reportedly worried about humanity using nuclear weapons again, as it could affect the entire cosmos.

Jean-Jacques Velasco states that extraterrestrials exist and are trying to prevent humanity from self-destruction. He emphasizes that objects are controlled and present facts that require scientific consideration. He questions whether a civilization more advanced than ours could detect nuclear explosions on Earth, given that they emit signals across the electromagnetic spectrum.

In 2012, a journalist filmed a luminous object near the Cattenom nuclear power plant in France, which was reportedly also filmed in Switzerland and Germany.

Michaël Vaillant, a consultant for GEIPAN, has established a link between UAP sightings and the overflight of civilian and military installations in France. A 2015 mathematical study showed a significant statistical correlation between unexplained phenomena and nuclear power plants, as well as polluted sites. He raises questions about the nature of the intelligence responsible, considering possibilities of natural phenomena, terrestrial intelligence, or even extraterrestrial intelligence observing nuclear or polluted sites.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently emphasizes the scientific investigation of UAP, advocating for data collection, analysis, and open-mindedness rather than outright dismissal. There is a clear focus on official French efforts (GEIPAN) and a comparison with US government and military involvement (AATIP, MUFON). The potential connection between UAP and nuclear technology is a recurring theme, suggesting a possible extraterrestrial concern or interest in humanity's destructive capabilities. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry, acknowledging the unexplained aspects of these phenomena and the need for continued research and potential disclosure.

This issue of "La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo" (Issue No. 80, dated May 7, 2020) explores the growing mainstream discussion around non-human intelligence and advanced technologies, moving beyond fringe theories to serious scientific and governmental consideration.

Key Figures and Testimonies

The magazine features prominent voices, including former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo, who states his personal conviction that numerous proofs show humanity may not be alone. Senator Harry Reid highlights the increasing number of reported sightings by pilots and sailors, emphasizing that the phenomenon is not disappearing and that the military is now compelled to address it. Physicist Alain Juillet expresses that scientists are taking UFO phenomena seriously, recognizing that the technology involved appears far more advanced than our own.

Jean Jacques Velasco posits that if humanity cannot replicate such technology, it must originate from elsewhere, likely space. The issue also introduces Avi Loeb, Director of Astrophysics at Harvard University, who studied 'Oumuamua, an interstellar object whose unique behavior suggests it might be an artificial probe.

The 'Oumuamua Enigma

Avi Loeb details the discovery of 'Oumuamua on October 19, 2017, noting its rapid movement away from the Sun, its unusual rotation, and a significant increase in brightness. He explains that while initially thought to be a comet or asteroid, its properties, particularly the non-gravitational acceleration, led to the hypothesis that it could be an artificial object, possibly a solar sail propelled by stellar light, sent by an extraterrestrial civilization. The alternative explanation of cometary outgassing was deemed incompatible with the data.

Advanced Technologies and the Race for Innovation

The discussion shifts to the potential technological implications of these phenomena. Alain Juillet suggests that the technologies observed are beyond current human mastery, and finding solutions could revolutionize aviation and defense. The article mentions Bigelow Aerospace and a $22 million US program aimed at studying these phenomena, with Senator Harry Reid affirming its value and the need for the US to remain competitive, especially given efforts by other nations like France, China, and Russia.

Subjects of study include anti-gravity and the ability to overcome physical laws like gravity. Alain Juillet expresses a strong conviction that observed phenomena involve anti-gravity principles.

Metamaterials and Future Potential

The issue introduces the concept of metamaterials, essential for futuristic technologies. Dr. Hal E. Puthoff, co-founder of Earth Tech International, discusses an unusual sample of bismuth and magnesium, potentially recovered from a crashed UFO. He suggests this material, created through an unknown process with sub-micron layers, exhibits properties beyond current human manufacturing capabilities. The potential applications of these metamaterials are vast, including solving ecological problems and combating climate change.

Paul Hynek highlights the potential for unlimited, clean energy and propulsion systems, possibly including anti-gravity, teleportation, and other unimaginable technologies, which could surpass fossil fuels and nuclear power.

Philosophical and Societal Implications

Avi Loeb raises fundamental questions about humanity's place in the universe, suggesting that advanced civilizations might exist and possess technologies far beyond our current comprehension. He advocates for humility, drawing parallels to the historical understanding of Earth's place in the cosmos, and emphasizes the need for evidence-based research to understand our cosmic context.

Philippe Guillemant, a physicist specializing in artificial intelligence, proposes that understanding UFO phenomena requires questioning our fundamental perception of reality, including time, space, and matter, which he believes are constructs of consciousness within a vaster informational field.

Jacques Vallée, a renowned UFO researcher, echoes this sentiment, viewing the universe as an information system and suggesting that dimensions are cultural artifacts. He posits that consciousness generates the illusion of space and time.

John B. Alexander, a former US Army Colonel involved in paranormal research, discusses the interconnectedness of phenomena and the importance of not prematurely defining parameters. He links UFO studies to near-death experiences and spiritual exploration, suggesting that science and spirituality are intertwined.

Alexander also challenges the notion that UFO technologies are millennia ahead, stating they are advanced but comprehensible. He provides an example of an early 1900s sighting of a hexagonal craft with visible rivets, a technology that, while advanced then, was not adopted for space travel later.

Philippe Guillemant reiterates that UFOs represent phenomena capable of entering our space-time from an external dimension.

Multiple Universes and Learning Theories

Alain Juillet discusses the theory of multiple universes as a potential explanation for unidentified aerial phenomena, noting its historical roots in ancient civilizations. He suggests that parallel worlds might interpenetrate ours briefly.

Michael Vaillant examines historical UFO waves, proposing a 'control theory' where external intelligences might orchestrate these events as a form of learning or acclimatization for humanity. He suggests that these waves follow a power law, with a potential next wave predicted around October 2035.

Jean Jacques Velasco calls for transparency from US authorities, believing the public is ready for information. Harry Reid advocates for international collaboration and sharing of UFO research data among countries like the US, France, China, and Russia, deeming it incomprehensible not to do so for the benefit of humanity.

Luis Elizondo predicts a fundamental shift in conversations about UFOs within the next year, expecting greater public acceptance of disclosed information. Jean Jacques Velasco anticipates significant societal, philosophical, religious, and scientific upheavals resulting from such disclosures.

Michael Vaillant suggests that within a decade, humanity might discover extraterrestrial life, possibly not intelligent, but enough to lay the groundwork for further inquiry and advance human understanding. He also posits that a future contact scenario might aim to prevent a 'cultural ethnocide' by gradually introducing humanity to extraterrestrial intelligence.

Avi Loeb concludes by emphasizing the vast number of potentially habitable planets and the importance of searching for extraterrestrial civilizations. He believes that discovering evidence of life elsewhere would profoundly alter humanity's self-perception and offer lessons on how to behave as a civilization, learning from more advanced counterparts.

Editorial Stance and Future Outlook

The magazine concludes with a poetic reflection titled "Ovni affaire d'état" and a note from the editors stating their commitment to presenting information directly and collectively, aiming to be sincere rather than pleasing. They hint at a potential continuation in the next issue, but with uncertainty about its definitive nature.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the increasing credibility of UFO phenomena, the potential for advanced extraterrestrial technology, the philosophical and societal implications of contact, and the call for greater transparency and international cooperation in research. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various expert opinions and theories while advocating for a serious, scientific approach to the subject.
