This issue of 'La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo' is dedicated to those who passionately seek the truth about UFOs.

Article I: A Curious Image from Around 1970 in Northern Portugal

The issue begins with the presentation of a Polaroid photograph taken around 1970 in Marialva, Portugal. The photograph, found among the belongings of a deceased family member, depicts a luminous aerial phenomenon, which some might identify as a UFO. The author notes that the image is unlikely to have been faked due to the lack of personal computers and sophisticated photo editing software in the 1970s. An on-site investigation is announced as open to amateurs.

Article II: Animal Mutilations – 50 Years Later in France and the USA

This section discusses the persistent mystery of animal mutilations, a phenomenon that began in the USA in the 1970s and has continued in France. Despite investigations by UFO researchers, private investigators, and official authorities, the results have been largely inconclusive. The victims are typically ruminants and equids, often found in good health before being killed and mutilated, with specific organs removed. The cause of death is frequently difficult to determine, even after veterinary examination. Notably, there are often no visible traces of struggle or physical evidence at the scene, leading to speculation about aerial abductions.

The article touches upon theories linking these mutilations to satanic cults or extraterrestrial organizations. Jean Sider denounces a government "black-out" and disinformation campaign, particularly from the American administration. Linda Moulton Howe suggests that extraterrestrial needs, such as food or genetic experimentation, might be the motive. The phenomenon has seen a recent surge in France, with numerous horses being killed and mutilated since February 2020, causing distress to owners.

• Several commentators discuss recent cases:
• Pierre Letzkus notes the increasing reports of horse and cow mutilations in France and Belgium, drawing parallels to US cattle mutilations attributed to ETs or black helicopters. He observes similarities in the parts targeted (eyes, genitals) and the clean nature of the cuts, with little to no blood.
• Jacky Kozan distinguishes recent cases from the classic 1970s US mutilations, describing the recent acts as horrific and satanic, intended to frighten citizens. He links this to a broader agenda by "elites" following the perceived failure of the pandemic and unrest.
• Robert Lortal expresses skepticism about celestial explanations.

Georges Metz shares a 1999 document about animal mutilations in France and mentions a lost FBI document. He leans towards a political origin for some cases. The document cites journalist Michel Granger's work, detailing over 10,000 cattle and horses mutilated in the US over thirty years, with organs removed and no blood or struggle evidence, often linked to UFO phenomena.

A case from 1991 in Tocane Saint Apre, France, is detailed. A heifer was found dead with its hind legs and tail removed, throat pierced, and right eye enucleated, with no blood found. An investigation by the author and friends was met with official resistance, with the local gendarmerie and SEPRA (Service d'Expertise des Phénomènes de Rentrée Atmosphérique) classifying the case and refusing further information. The owner's son's evasive responses and the claim that "the earth swallowed everything" further deepened the mystery.

Michel Granger's book "Le Grand Carnage" is referenced, detailing the scale of the problem in the US. The article also mentions a case in Seine-et-Marne where a horse was attacked, and another in Belgium where a horse's ear was cut off, possibly related to a hunting accident. Other cases include a mare strangled with a rope, an eye removed, and flesh cut in Usson-en-Forez, initially suspected as a satanic ritual. In the Allier region, horses were killed and dismembered for meat, with similar scenarios reported in Beaumont-les-Randan. A case from 20 years prior involved a horse breeder whose mares had their tails cut and legs injured, attributed to a vengeful former employee.

In Great Britain, a series of equine mutilations has also been reported, with police considering satanic cult involvement. The RSPCA is also involved, adopting a low profile.

Jean Claude Venturini questions if these are human copies of US animal mutilations.

Article III: Live UFO Event with the Toulouse Ufological Meals

This section covers a live online event hosted by NUREA.Tv in collaboration with the "Repas Ufologiques de Toulouse" (Toulouse Ufological Meals). The event, held on September 17, 2020, aimed to discuss the UFO phenomenon and address the perceived lack of serious treatment and media attention it receives in France compared to the USA.

The host, Guillaume, introduces the project, emphasizing the need for a more serious approach to UFOs, which are often dismissed as mere aerial curiosities in France. The initiative, born from a shared concern between Isaure and Franck Maurin, seeks to advance the field.

• The panel of speakers includes:
• Isaure, responsible for the Toulouse Ufological Meals, who explains the project's genesis and goals.
• Ludovic Bonin, editor-in-chief of Ikaris magazine, a regular contributor to NUREA.Tv, known for his work on mysteries and the unexplained.
• Jocelin Morisson, a scientific journalist and author.
• Myriame BelMyr, president of CERO France, an association that aids and studies abduction victims.
• Franck Morin, who will conclude the session with his extensive research on UFOs.

The collective, named SIPO, is supported by various ufology associations and aims to highlight the importance of the UFO phenomenon and the potential consequences of unpreparedness for a significant extraterrestrial event. They draw inspiration from the 1990s Cometa report, which they feel has been largely forgotten despite its warnings.

Ludovic Bonin elaborates on the collective's objectives: to raise awareness about the UFO phenomenon, emphasize the lack of preparedness for potential extraterrestrial events, and counter the global destabilization such an event could cause. He notes that the collective is modeled after the Cometa report and aims to re-disseminate its findings. He stresses the need for governments to be seen as competent and informed about UFOs to maintain public trust. The collective advocates for the declassification of government archives related to UFOs, similar to the US Freedom of Information Act, and for military personnel to be able to share their observations without fear of career repercussions.

The collective also calls for serious debates in mainstream French media, greater support for independent ufological research, and the scientific community's engagement with the subject. They express concern about the militarization of space, citing the creation of the US Space Force, and the potential implications for humanity if extraterrestrial life exists.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently highlights the lack of transparency and serious investigation into UFO phenomena by both governments and scientific communities, particularly in France. It advocates for greater openness, declassification of archives, and more rigorous scientific study. The theme of animal mutilations serves as a recurring example of unexplained events that are often met with official indifference or obfuscation. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of pursuing the truth, challenging established narratives, and empowering the public with information regarding unexplained aerial phenomena and related mysteries.

This issue of "La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo" (n°83, dated October 1, 2020) features a panel discussion and presentations on the UFO phenomenon, its perception, media coverage, and the need for greater transparency and scientific study. The publication, originating from France, delves into the evolving understanding of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and related topics.

Panel Discussion and Presentations

The issue begins with a brief exchange between Ludovic Bonin and Isaure, where Bonin emphasizes the need to treat the militarization of space and potential extraterrestrial life as legitimate fields of study. He stresses that the UFO phenomenon is serious and concerns humanity's future.

Isaure then introduces Jocelin Morisson, a journalist who has written extensively on the UFO subject for various publications, including Nexus and Inexploré. Morisson expresses his dismay at how the media and the public often fail to grasp the significant changes in the UFO phenomenon. He contrasts the difficulty of accessing information in the 1970s (requiring microfilm archives) with the ease of the internet today. Morisson notes that in the past, witnesses, often described as simple farmers, were easily discredited. However, he points out that today, with a wealth of information and testimonies from high-level individuals such as military pilots, air traffic controllers, and even former intelligence officials, the credibility of these accounts has significantly increased. He mentions the documentary "Phenomenon" by James Fox as a key example of this shift.

Morisson criticizes the media's tendency to trivialize UFO sightings, often using dismissive terms like "little green men" and associating them with sensationalized television themes. He calls for a change in mentality, urging journalists and media outlets to conduct thorough research and present the subject with seriousness and respect. He advocates for public conferences and debates to foster a more informed discussion, moving beyond the "I believe it / I don't believe it" spectacle.

He also touches upon the psychological aspect, suggesting that the idea of not being alone in the universe is becoming more credible due to discoveries like exoplanets. Morisson posits that the phenomenon might be linked to consciousness and that superior intelligences could be manipulating space, time, and our experiences, citing missing time episodes as evidence.

Ludovic Bonin returns to discuss the need for a unified global approach to potential extraterrestrial contact, suggesting an international organism that speaks with a single voice, unlike the current fragmented international bodies. He warns against unpreparedness and improvisation in the face of such a contact.

Myriame BelMyr, President of CERO France (Contact and Abduction Experiences), explains her association's work in supporting individuals who have had close encounters. She highlights the presence of psychologists and hypnotherapists within CERO, aiming to destigmatize contactees and abductees. BelMyr emphasizes that they are not "ufologists" but rather individuals focused on the human aspect of these experiences, which she describes as often delicate and intense. She reiterates the need to be taken seriously by the media and to move beyond ridicule. CERO receives many requests but is selective about who they work with due to past problems. She notes that while the US is more open to studying abductions, France lags behind, with a critical but sometimes hesitant approach.

Franck Maurin discusses the genesis and development of a collective project, involving various ufological associations. He explains that initial tests and feedback from individuals within the ufology community were positive, encouraging them to proceed. He mentions presenting the project to other associations in cities like Bordeaux, Nantes, and Paris, leading to collaborative work.

Maurin critiques the lack of official engagement with UFO research in France, contrasting it with the US. He cites the example of Professor Michel Bounias, whose research on plant anomalies related to UFO sightings was suppressed by his hierarchy. He also mentions Jean-Pierre Petit, an astrophysicist who faced professional repercussions for his work on UFOs. Maurin highlights the difficulty for independent ufological research in France, where associations struggle with funding for equipment and travel. He calls for support rather than criticism of these groups.

He recounts instances of official transparency in France, like the 1974 interview with Minister of the Armed Forces Robert Gallet, who acknowledged unexplained UFO phenomena. However, he notes that such transparency is rare, often replaced by an "omerta" and the classification of UFO cases as national defense secrets, with dossiers being sealed for decades.

Maurin contrasts this with the US, where the New York Times revealed the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, funded by the government. He mentions the release of videos and testimonies from pilots, including Commander David Fravor of the USS Nimitz, who described a Tic-Tac-shaped object capable of extreme maneuvers. He notes that US media outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Times are now taking UFO witnesses seriously, a stark contrast to the situation in France.

Guillaume speaks on behalf of NUREA, thanking the speakers and acknowledging the collective effort. He expresses a personal lack of hope for official transparency from authorities but recognizes the importance of the collective's goal to advance understanding of the phenomenon. He thanks all signatories for their energy and commitment, viewing their collaboration as a significant step for the ufological community in France.

Isaure then poses a question about the need for a "delegate from Earth" to represent humanity in case of contact, to avoid manipulation and ensure a unified voice.

Ludovic Bonin responds, agreeing with the need for a global, unified organism to manage potential extraterrestrial contact, emphasizing that current international bodies are inadequate. He stresses the importance of preparedness and a common approach to avoid nationalistic rivalries and the potential misuse of the UFO phenomenon for military purposes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently emphasizes the need for the UFO phenomenon to be treated with seriousness and scientific rigor, moving beyond sensationalism and ridicule. There is a strong critique of the lack of transparency from official bodies, particularly in France, and a call for greater openness and collaboration. The importance of credible witnesses, the role of the media in shaping public perception, and the potential implications of extraterrestrial contact for humanity are central themes. The publication appears to advocate for a more informed, open, and unified approach to understanding and engaging with the UFO phenomenon, encouraging critical thinking and research.

Key Discussions and Opinions

Independence from Government Oversight

Claude Lavat initiates a discussion by proposing that UFO research groups should formally declare their independence from directives issued by GEIPAN (Groupe d'Études et d'Informations sur les Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non identifiés) and other governmental bodies. Lavat believes these organizations are primarily designed to control independent research in the UFO domain. He hints at personal experience to support this view and acknowledges the presence of "debunkers," expressing a need for courage and a touch of paranoia.

Gérard Deforge supports Lavat's suggestion, emphasizing that his own opinion is based on personal experience and information from "unquestionable personalities." Deforge sarcastically refers to GEIPAN as a "great specialist in Thai lanterns," questioning its credibility.

Collective Action and Media Criticism

The editorial section, dated September 29, 2020, addresses the formation of a new collective. The author expresses a desire to "shake things up" and improve the "customs" of the UFO community by involving a diverse range of participants. This collective is described as being "almost atheist outside of UFOs" and not integrist. The editorial criticizes the "puritanism" and "deviant sensitivity" of some self-proclaimed UFO experts whose attitudes can undermine the hopes of success for such initiatives. It laments a societal tendency to be literal and fail to respect the context and subjectivity of creative works, a problem of the current era.

The author notes that some movements are dismissed as representing nothing or defending nothing, with their claims being unrecognized. The editorial expresses a strong personal rejection of passively leaving matters to "experts, the powerful, and decision-makers." The author implies that governments, despite their rhetoric of universal harmony, are aware of anomalous phenomena occurring on the planet. They are not naive and, even if sometimes detached from ordinary people's needs, are educated enough to understand what is published. The text suggests that authorities perceive people as easily manipulated, regardless of political labels, and fail to listen to the growing concerns from various regions and associations reporting aerial manifestations, animal mutilations, and bizarre events.

The editorial also touches upon the current context of a virus that forces people to hide their "complicit grimaces," suggesting a shared, perhaps cynical, understanding of the situation.

Reader Contributions and Corrections

Thierry Rocher, writing on August 30, 2020, comments on a previous issue (Gazette n°81, July 23, 2020). He praises the effort involved in transcribing a video conference presented by Pascal Fechner, acknowledging the laborious and sometimes monotonous nature of such work. Rocher points out specific discrepancies in names mentioned in the transcription: the name "Juillet" appears as "Alain" then "Pierre" on pages 10-12, and "Vaillant" is spelled "Michael" then "Michaël" on pages 16-20, and "Michael" then "Michel" on pages 17-18. He asks if any reader had previously reported these points.

La Gazette responds on September 29, 2020, thanking Thierry for his feedback. The publication acknowledges the difficulty of transcribing spoken words from video conferences, noting that even with automatic software, the audio can be unclear, filled with hesitations and repetitions, requiring significant correction and interpretation. Despite these challenges, the magazine believes the effort is worthwhile.

Editorial Stance and Future Outlook

La Gazette states its commitment to presenting information directly and collectively, aiming to make the experience pleasant and authentic rather than merely symbolic. The publication emphasizes sincerity over the desire to please.

The issue concludes with a note about the future, suggesting "Next issue... maybe? But it's not certain..." indicating uncertainty about future publications.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the theme of independent UFO research and the perceived need to distance it from governmental control, exemplified by the critique of GEIPAN. There is a clear undercurrent of skepticism towards official narratives and mainstream media manipulation, particularly concerning public opinion and the reporting of anomalous phenomena. The magazine promotes a collective and sincere approach to ufology, valuing direct representation and authenticity. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, advocating for transparency and challenging established authorities while acknowledging the difficulties in accurately capturing and disseminating information, especially from audio-visual sources.
