Conference Report: "Du nouveau sur les extraterrestres"

A conference held on October 20th at the Léon Denis center in Paris, featuring medium Michael Jodin, is reported. The conference, attended mostly by women, focused on new information about extraterrestrials, psychometry, and spiritualism. The speaker presented "suppositions" about extraterrestrials and warned about the future of society and the planet, suggesting that humanity has evolved technically but not spiritually. The solution, according to the speaker, lies "up there" and requires prayer. The speaker also touched upon societal issues like pollution, violence, and racial segregation, questioning if prayers alone can solve them. The speaker criticized current adult behavior for creating a bleak future for younger generations, leading to potential resentment. The core message is that salvation is individual and requires a change in perspective towards fellow beings and destiny. The speaker suggested that extraterrestrials and God are the same, and prayer is the best way to connect with them. The report notes that the ET's intervention might be triggered by a powerful "egregore" created by collective human demand.

Analysis of the Jean Miguères Case

The A.E.S.V. (Association d'Etude et de Surveillance des Phénomènes Aériens) critically examines the case of Jean Miguères, questioning the credibility of his adventure. The A.E.S.V. points out several inconsistencies in Miguères's account, particularly regarding the causes and effects of an accident. They note that Miguères did not welcome their investigation, which is seen as suspicious. While the accident itself is authenticated by a gendarme report, Miguères lacks medical proof of his physical state post-accident. Graphological analysis of his documents suggests a similarity between his handwriting and that of a doctor. Miguères claims to have traveled nearly 900 km in six hours, averaging 150 km/h, with multiple stops. The A.E.S.V. disputes his claim of a tele-transport on the Nîmes-Marseille highway, stating it does not exist. They also question his assertion that extraterrestrials have advanced computers and that he has twenty million years of evolutionary advantage. The report highlights Miguères's robust physical condition before the accident (moto-cross and judo) and questions the claims of subsequent mutilations due to a lack of verifiable documents. A significant point raised is Miguères's refusal of a hypnosis-assisted interrogation by a specialist, which the A.E.S.V. interprets as a sign of evasion. The article concludes by questioning Miguères's aggressive attacks against the A.E.S.V. and uses a proverb to suggest that Miguères's accusations are unfounded.

Parapsychology and the Nature of Reality

This section discusses parapsychology, dividing it into ESP (extra-sensory perception) and PK (psychokinesis). ESP includes telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychometry, while PK encompasses phenomena like levitation and dematerialization. The article suggests that PSI (psi) energy might originate from or be utilized by the environment. Research indicates that life exists in various forms, and the spirit can vibrate differently, integrating with matter. Parapsychology aims to understand the unconscious, which dialogues with both the known and the unknown. The text posits that paranormal manifestations are difficult to elucidate because they don't adhere to conventional laws and are often influenced by our habits and emotions. The formation of an "egregore" (a collective psychic entity) is discussed, requiring unified thought and belief. An example is given of a failed attempt to contact extraterrestrial intelligences in Cergy-Pontoise due to a lack of concentration and interference. The concept of egregore formation is also applied to group dynamics, such as a choir or a sports team, where collective focus can influence outcomes.

Ing. Indiatre. (Review)

A review of an article titled "LA DERNIERE GUERRE" (The Last War) published in "La Dernière Guerre" Nº155, Vol.10, pages 213-214. The article is attributed to ET Jean Bastide, author of "Mémoire des OVNI, des Argonautes aux Extraterrestres."

Contact Esprit / Matière

This section delves into the study of paranormal manifestations, focusing on ESP and PK. It explores the nature of PSI energy and its connection to consciousness and matter. The text suggests that the unconscious mind plays a crucial role and that paranormal phenomena are difficult to control due to ingrained habits and emotions. The concept of egregore formation is reiterated, emphasizing the importance of unified thought and intention for successful outcomes, citing an example of a failed attempt to contact extraterrestrials due to a lack of collective focus.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of GEPO INFORMATIONS include UFO sightings from various locations, critical analysis of specific cases (like Jean Miguères), discussions on parapsychology and the nature of consciousness, and news about the development of ufological research and organizations. The editorial stance, as stated, is to present diverse viewpoints while maintaining a critical and analytical approach, with a disclaimer of responsibility for individual author's opinions. There is a clear emphasis on a more scientific and rigorous approach to ufology, as seen in the discussions about the A.E.S.V. and the C.E.C.R.U. sessions.

This is a special edition of the French magazine "Rencontres du 3ème Type," published in March 1981. The issue focuses on UFO phenomena, parapsychology, and a review of the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." The magazine presents itself as a platform for discussing various hypotheses and investigations within the ufology community.

Article 1: The PSI LISSING Effect and Poltergeists

This article explores the psychological aspects of paranormal phenomena, particularly UFOs. It suggests that the collective gaze of an audience can influence a performer, creating a unique connection beyond the visible crowd. The author posits that the 'PSI LISSING' effect occurs when the unconscious mind refuses a 'sollicitation,' potentially leading to uncontrolled, intelligent, and wild behavior, which is then labeled as a POLTERGEIST. The article categorizes paranormal phenomena into three groups: information, communication, and paranormal action. It distinguishes between ESP (clairvoyance and telepathy) and psychokinesis (PK), where a subject acts on an object without normal sensory means.

Article 2: Critique of Ufological Arguments

This section critically examines the approaches of certain French ufologists, accusing some of seeking official recognition and validation by presenting their findings in a way that garners attention from mainstream media and scientific circles. The author contrasts two different ways of discussing the 'sociopsychological' hypothesis, favoring Pierre Guéria's more measured approach over Roger-Luc Mary's more confrontational style. The piece argues that while the 'PSY' hypothesis has some reality, researchers like Monnere, Barthel, and Brucker have generalized from limited verified cases. It concludes with four 'observations' regarding the quality of arguments presented by Guéria and Mary.

Article 3: Studying All Hypotheses

This article emphasizes the difficulty and controversial nature of studying UFOs due to the multiplicity of hypotheses. It acknowledges that socio-psychological and parapsychological explanations, despite criticism, hold some truth. The author stresses the importance of considering all evidence, not just what one wishes to see. The piece suggests that investigating socio-psychological and parapsychological phenomena might be more verifiable than extraterrestrial hypotheses. It then proposes a series of questions for witnesses to help define the phenomenon, distinguishing between those who actively sought to see a UFO and those who encountered one unexpectedly. The article also touches upon the possibility of 'paranormal gifts' like mediumship or psychokinesis.

Article 4: Investigation of a Luminous Phenomenon in La Verpillère

This is a detailed report of a UFO sighting that occurred on October 29, 1980, near Saint Symphorien de Lay, France. The witnesses, a couple named Mme B and Mr. ER, observed a large, red-orange luminous ball with a halo above the Verpillère park. They were frightened and returned home immediately. The investigation involved interviewing the witnesses and their family, as well as checking local information. The phenomenon was described as immense, a "big fireball" about a meter in diameter, fluorescent red-orange, with a luminous halo, appearing to hover above the pine trees. The sky was described as "ablaze." A humming sound, lasting about five minutes, was also reported. The next day, Mme B spoke about the sighting, and a neighbor, Mme F, recounted a similar event near Commelle-Vernay, where flattened grass traces were found. The investigation explored various hypotheses, including aircraft, helicopters, satellites, weather balloons, celestial bodies (Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn), clouds, ball lightning, marsh gas, electrical phenomena, and car headlights. Hallucination was considered but deemed unlikely due to multiple witnesses and corroborating details. The conclusion of the investigation, dated February 28, 1981, was that the phenomenon was 'Unidentified.' The article also mentions a potential connection to the local castle and its historical significance.

Article 5: Film Review: "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

This section reviews the re-release of Steven Spielberg's film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in March 1981. The author expresses a mixed impression, feeling somewhat misled by the "new scenes" that were supposedly added to amplify and complete the original version. The review suggests that these additions did not significantly enhance the film and may have been intended more for financial gain than for narrative improvement. Despite this criticism, the reviewer acknowledges the film's impressive special effects, particularly the UFO encounters and evolutions, and anticipates potential sequels or a television series.

Conference Report: Jimmy GIEU

This report summarizes a conference held on January 27, 1981, at the Sorbonne featuring Jimmy GIEU. The conference discussed concrete examples of UFO existence, suggesting that if there are billions of stars and planets in our galaxy, some must be inhabited. GIEU presented cases, including one from Brazil where a couple claimed to be abducted annually by extraterrestrials. The presentation also touched upon the concept of extraterrestrials as holograms and the idea that Earth is visited by 19 different species. The article notes that the conference seemed to serve as a publicity event for IMSA, an organization founded by GIEU. The author expresses skepticism about the objectivity of this new group.

Inter-Group Meeting: GEPO and CEMOCPI

This report details a meeting between two ufology groups, GEPO and CEMOCPI, held on March 14, 1981, in Saint-Etienne. The meeting aimed to strengthen contacts and exchange views on the current state of ufology. Discussions covered recent events, the phenomenon itself, and its potential connections to megalithic, alchemical, or magical sites in the Rhône-Loire region. The report highlights the perceived higher frequency of UFO activity in that region compared to others. It also mentions CEMOCPI's development of a sophisticated mobile detection unit. The article concludes by expressing optimism about future collaborations between the groups.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of ufology, parapsychology, and psychology, suggesting that many phenomena may have psychological or socio-psychological origins, though not exclusively. There is a critical stance towards sensationalism and a desire for rigorous investigation, while acknowledging the limitations of current knowledge. The editorial stance appears to be open to various hypotheses but emphasizes the need for evidence and objective analysis. The magazine also engages with popular culture, such as films, to discuss UFO themes.

This issue, dated April 11, 1975, is titled 'CATALOGUE MONDIAL D'OBSERVATIONS CLASSIFICATION CODE PASQUALINI'. It appears to be a French publication, featuring a classification system for UFO observations developed by Monsieur Pasqualini, who is also listed as the publisher and likely author of the main catalog section. The magazine also delves into the historical and folkloric aspects of vampirism and touches upon themes of time travel and science fiction.

UFO Observations and Classification

The core of the issue is the 'CATALOGUE MONDIAL D'OBSERVATIONS CLASSIFICATION CODE PASQUALINI'. A sample entry from April 11, 1975, details an observation in Roanne, France, of a 'round object seen in static flight at high altitude'. The classification system itself is presented with various categories:

• FORMES (Shapes): Inconnue (Unknown), Ronde (Round), Ovale (Oval), Cigaroïde (Cigar-shaped), Ovale Triangle, Cone, Carré (Square), Losange (Diamond), Poire (Pear), Autre (Other).
• COULEURS (Colors): Brillante (Brilliant), Argenté (Silver), Blanc (White), Gris (Gray), Jaune (Yellow), Orange, Rouge (Red), Bleu (Blue), Vert (Green).
• VITESSE (Speed): Nulle (Null), Lente (Slow), Moyenne (Medium), Rapide (Fast).
• VOL-ALTITUDE (Flight Altitude): Sol (Ground), Basse (Low), Haute (High).
• DIVERS (Miscellaneous): Diameter in meters, trajectory (SN South to North), numerous witnesses or important phenomena, (cc) color change.
• DETAILS D'OBSERVATION (Observation Details): Bruit (Noise), Silencieux (Silent), Chaleur (Heat), Trainée (Trail), Rotation, Electricité, Magnétisme, Paralysie, Panne électrique (Electrical failure), Peur des animaux (Fear of animals).

The catalog also lists countries associated with observations, including France, Italy, Spain, England, Belgium, Australia, Russia, Germany, Yugoslavia, Japan, China, Canada, USA, South America, and Norway.

Vampirism: History and Folklore

Several articles explore the phenomenon of vampirism. One section discusses the origins of the vampire myth, referencing Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and how the legend has evolved. It notes that the vampire phenomenon gained prominence in the 18th century, particularly in Eastern Europe (Greece, Serbia, Romania, Poland). The characteristics of vampires are described, including their ability to drain the life force of victims, their association with death, and their potential for metamorphosis. The text mentions methods used against vampires, such as decapitation and staking.

Another piece questions why vampirism seemed to be more prevalent in Eastern Europe, suggesting it might be linked to higher rates of superstition and endemic diseases in those regions. It also touches upon the psychological impact of such beliefs on populations.

Special Features and Contributions

'Le Septième Barbu' (The Seventh Barbue)

This section details the appearance of a figure known as 'Rael' (or 'Rael Put') in France. It describes a conference held in January, attracting over 300 people, where Rael reportedly discussed his 'unique conference' and presented his work. The article notes the significant revenue generated from ticket sales and book sales. It also mentions that Rael had received death threats and that his appearances were often accompanied by controversy. The text suggests that these events might be a means of generating income and that the 'prophet's' actions could be seen as a form of manipulation.

'Réponses à: peut-on changer le cours de l'histoire?' (Answers to: Can the course of history be changed?)

This section features a debate or discussion among several contributors (T. Rocher, R. Juills, P. Farssac) on the nature of time and whether history can be altered. The contributors explore concepts of time perception, the possibility of time travel, and the existence of parallel universes. They question whether events are predetermined or if human actions can influence the future.

'INFOS' (News Briefs)

This section contains several short news items:

• A mention of J. C. Lidist constructing a 'revolutionary' apparatus in Charehance, France, in 1969, which he claims can communicate with extraterrestrials.
• A note about the beatification of Marthe Robin, a French mystic, celebrated in February.
• A report from 'Le Parisien' on February 9th, discussing the existence of other 'imises prodigieuses' (prodigious emissions) in France, possibly related to UFOs.
• A brief mention of a 'mensuelle' (monthly) emission by 'Y-a-t-il d'autres vies?' (Are there other lives?), which discusses extraterrestrial encounters and the vastness of the universe, estimating the number of galaxies and stars.

Science Fiction and UFOs

One article draws parallels between UFO phenomena and science fiction, specifically referencing films like '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Star Wars'. It discusses how these films might influence public perception of extraterrestrial life and technology, and how they can blur the lines between fiction and potential reality. The article critiques the 'enterprise' design in 'Star Wars' and compares it to the 'Nostromo' from 'Alien'. It also touches upon the concept of 'CE3K' (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) and how cinematic portrayals can shape our understanding of alien encounters.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to have a strong interest in unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs and the supernatural (vampirism). There's a blend of cataloging observations, exploring historical and folkloric accounts, and engaging with theoretical concepts like time travel. The editorial stance seems open to exploring these subjects, presenting different viewpoints and referencing both scientific and pseudoscientific ideas. The inclusion of a classification system suggests a desire for systematic study of UFOs, while the discussions on vampires and time travel indicate an interest in the broader spectrum of mysteries and the human psyche's response to them. The publication also engages with popular culture, using science fiction films as points of reference for discussing extraterrestrial encounters.

Title: KONS CIRCULT
Issue Date: February 1981 (implied by content)
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This issue of KONS CIRCULT features two main articles. The first discusses the "Marjolaine 1981" event, a "Better Living" market held in Paris from February 14th to 22nd, 1981. The second article, written by Thierry Rocher, focuses on a conference about cancer organized by the CDIC (Comité de Défense et d'Information sur le Cancer) and critiques conventional cancer treatments.

Marjolaine 1981: The "Better Living" Market

The article describes Marjolaine 1981 as a significant event in Paris that aimed to help people rediscover simplicity and nature, aspects often overlooked in modern life. The market presented a wide range of themes designed to improve one's life, including:

• Natural Alimentation: Emphasizing healthy eating.
• Gentle Medicines: Such as iridology, sophrology, radiesthesia, and oligotherapy.
• Organic Agriculture and Gardening: Promoting practices without artificial or chemical inputs.
• Art of Living: Including social experiments, personal development (physical and psychological), ecology, and anti-vivisection.
• New Energies: Exploring cosmic, telluric, psychic, magnetic, and solar energies.
• Energy Saving and Recycling: Focusing on paper recycling and fabrication.

The core objective of Marjolaine was to reconnect the public with what they often fail to see and to free them from a system that seems to control and direct them. The article notes that in today's society, advocating for natural alimentation or medicine (as they should naturally be) challenges numerous industries reliant on financial profit, potentially endangering human life.

CDIC Conference on Cancer and Critique of Conventional Treatments

On February 27th, the CDIC (Comité de Défense et d'Information sur le Cancer) hosted a major conference in Paris at the Palais de la Mutualité. The event brought together prominent figures to discuss cancer, a topic the author claims the government and public are deliberately misled about. The article asserts that official statements and media reports consistently omit facts and hide the truth, leading oncologists to believe in false victories. It states that only 22-23% of cancers are truly overcome, with half of these being skin cancers, which are the easiest to treat.

The author also raises concerns about current anti-cancer drugs, highlighting that while they may appear to have some effects, they are highly toxic to the organism. These drugs target rapidly reproducing cells, causing side effects like hair loss, disrupting the digestive system, weakening the patient, and diminishing or destroying the body's immune defenses. The article suggests that behind the slow progress of official research, solitary researchers are making significant discoveries, but their work is being deliberately silenced.

In contrast, "marginal" methods are presented as respecting the organism's natural immunity, never leading to surgical operations, and avoiding chemotherapy. The author questions why these natural therapies, which are safe and do not cause harm, are suppressed. The piece concludes by asking why, if we cannot cure cancer but only prevent its development, certain natural and safe therapeutic methods are being stifled. It poses a rhetorical question about whether this is another instance of major financial trusts, supposedly working for human well-being, undermining these alternatives.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue strongly advocates for natural living, alternative medicine, and a critical stance towards official information, particularly concerning health and cancer treatment. It champions the idea of individual empowerment and seeking knowledge beyond mainstream narratives. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards established medical and financial institutions, promoting natural and holistic approaches as superior and unjustly suppressed alternatives.
