Articles and Content

Historique des Objets Volants Non Identifiés (History of Unidentified Flying Objects)

This section details several UFO sightings and related events from the 1950s. It begins with an account from November 27-28, 1954, involving Gustavo Gonzalès and José Ponce near Caracas, Venezuela, who encountered a circular luminous object and a small, hairy creature. The article also mentions the transition from the Blue Book project to the '4202d A.I. Squadron' in early 1955. It references Jean Plantier's book on atomic propulsion for flying saucers and the launch of the 'Flying Saucer Review' in early 1955. A sighting near Colmar, France, on January 3, 1955, describes motorists being pursued by two luminous, orange, cigar-shaped UFOs. The Air Technical Intelligence Center's 'Report 14' from May 5, 1955, is discussed, outlining UFO case classification procedures. The report defines criteria for classifying cases as 'unidentified' or 'unknown,' emphasizing authenticity and the exclusion of conventional explanations. The section also includes a report from June 5, 1955, near Namur, Belgium, where M. Muyldermans photographed a disc-shaped UFO. A significant event on August 2, 1955, near Kelly, Kentucky, involved eight people and three children encountering small, phosphorescent creatures and dwarf-like beings. On August 22, 1955, in Casa Blanca, California, children observed UFOs with musical sounds. A November 2, 1955, sighting in Williston, Florida, involved six bell-shaped UFOs, one of which caused paralysis and burning sensations. The section also includes a directive from the French Air Force's EM concerning the investigation of UFOs, emphasizing objective reporting and analysis. The article quotes Hermann Oberth, an authority on space and rockets, who stated his conclusion that UFOs are real vehicles from other solar systems, likely occupied by intelligent observers studying Earth.

Le Cube de Salzbourg (The Salzburg Cube)

This article examines the case of a steel cube allegedly discovered embedded in tertiary coal near Salzburg, Austria. It references Georges Ketman's 1960 article in 'Science et Vie' and Robert Charroux's 'Histoire Inconnue des Hommes depuis 100 000 ans.' The cube, weighing 785g and measuring 67x67x47mm, was found by Austrian physicist Gurlt in 1886. While some experts suggested it was a meteorite or an artificial object, the director of the Salzburg Museum, M.K. Willvonseder, considered it an error. Peter Kolosimo's 'Archéologie Spatiale' mentions the cube being composed of iron, carbon, and nickel, and notes its unusual shape, suggesting it was not a natural meteorite. The article highlights Jacques Bergier's detailed account in 'Les Extraterrestres dans l'Histoire,' which reproduces Gurlt's original 1886 article from 'Nature.' Bergier describes the object as nearly cubic with rounded faces and an incision, composed of hard steel with nickel and carbon. He notes its disappearance from the Salzburg Museum and the lack of information after 1910. The author of this section, Jacques Scornaux, provides the original 'Nature' article, which describes the object as a fossil meteorite resembling those found in Santa Catharina and Braunau, but older and from the tertiary era. Scornaux questions the 'perfect' regularity of its shape and suggests that its disappearance from the museum and archives might be due to historical events like wars, rather than a deliberate cover-up.

Apparitions mariales et soucoupes volantes (Marian Apparitions and Flying Saucers)

This article, written by Paul Misraki, explores the controversial connection between Marian apparitions and UFO phenomena. Misraki, a believer himself, emphasizes the importance of objective observation of facts, regardless of religious or philosophical beliefs. He uses the events of October 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, as a primary example. The 'miracle' witnessed by tens of thousands involved the sun appearing to 'dance' with spectacular light displays. Misraki notes that the descriptions of the sun's appearance by direct witnesses—a sharp-edged, luminous disc, a mat silver disc, rotating at high speed, emitting colored light, and moving in a cascade of leaps—bear striking resemblances to descriptions of UFOs. He points out that the event was preceded by a series of phenomena announced by three young shepherds who claimed to converse with a 'Lady of Light,' identified as 'Our Lady of the Rosary.' These monthly encounters, starting May 13, 1917, involved phenomena like a luminous globe descending from the sky. The article suggests a possible 'connivance' between the pilots of the silver disc and the 'Lady of Light.' It also briefly mentions other apparitions, such as La Salette in 1846, where a luminous globe was observed, and notes that while not all apparitions are accompanied by celestial signs suggestive of UFOs, many luminous aerial or ground phenomena have been reported throughout history that would interest ufologists.

The recurring themes in this issue are the historical investigation of UFO sightings, the examination of anomalous artifacts and archaeological mysteries, and the exploration of the intersection between religious phenomena and UFOs. The editorial stance, as expressed by the publisher SOBEPS and in articles like Paul Misraki's, is one of objective, rational inquiry into these phenomena, encouraging readers to consider the evidence without preconceived notions, whether religious, philosophical, or scientific. The magazine also emphasizes the importance of international collaboration and information sharing within the ufological community.

This issue of "Lumières dans la Nuit" focuses on a detailed investigation into a series of unusual aerial phenomena observed in Spa-Nivezé, Belgium, during October 1972. The magazine explores the potential connections between these sightings, religious apparitions, and even geological factors.

The Spa-Nivezé Case: October 1972

The central part of the issue is dedicated to the "carrousel" of events in Spa-Nivezé. The investigation, led by Claude Denis and other members of the magazine's team, began after receiving a detailed report from Monsieur Claude Denis. The team meticulously collected testimonies from over twenty witnesses, including residents of a home for children located at 'Le Neubois'.

The Location

The home is situated in a vast property near Spa, a region known for its natural springs. The specific location, 'Le Neubois', offers a panoramic view of the surrounding forests and valleys. The area is also noted for being near important air traffic crossroads.

Dates and Weather Conditions

The unusual events primarily occurred between October 17 and 27, 1972. The weather on these dates varied, with clear, starry nights and freezing temperatures on October 17 and 25, and more cloudy conditions with rain on October 27. Other dates, like October 18 and 20, also saw observations, but meteorological data was not fully available.

Witness Reports

Numerous witnesses reported seeing luminous objects with varied characteristics. These included:

• October 17: A white, round light, followed by two red lights, moving faster than a plane for about 45 seconds. Later, a strong, flashing red light followed by a fixed white point was observed. Another report mentioned a series of red and white lights arranged symmetrically.
• October 18: Monsieur Claude Denis recorded anomalous sounds from his radio, described as continuous whistling, and captured about twenty meters of magnetic tape.
• October 16 or 17: M. Patrice Henrard observed a "flying saucer" with an egg shape, emitting blue, green, red, and white lights, rotating and having a dark, square-shaped mass underneath. It was described as silent and having a flat bottom and domed top.
• October 25: Multiple sightings occurred, including two fighter jets appearing and seemingly pursuing the UFOs. Later, luminous spheres were seen, and a rectangular or deformed trapezoid shape passed overhead.
• October 27: A luminous sphere, changing color from white-yellow to orange, was observed. It appeared to rotate and was described as being 3 to 4 times the size of Venus.

Military Involvement and Counter-Inquiry

During some of the sightings, military jets were observed. However, a counter-inquiry with the Air Force revealed that on October 17, all fighter jets were grounded, and on October 25, only two F 104G jets were in the air, contradicting witness accounts of four planes. A meteorologist from Malchamps, Alphonse Luxen, who had a clear view of the area, reported seeing nothing unusual, attributing any perceived movement to atmospheric diffraction around stars.

Photographic Evidence

Photographs were submitted as evidence, but their ufological significance was only apparent after significant magnification (1000x). The magazine deemed the evidence too questionable to be presented as proof.

Geological Factors

The article also touches upon the potential influence of geological factors, referencing research on the correlation between UFO sightings and geological features, such as faults and mineral springs in the Spa region.

Previous Cases and Context

The magazine draws parallels between the Spa-Nivezé events and previous phenomena, including Marian apparitions in Pontmain, Tilly-sur-Seulles, Beauraing, Banneux, Fatima, San Damiano, Garabandal, and Zeitoun. It notes that similar celestial phenomena have been reported throughout history, even in biblical texts.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs) with religious experiences, particularly Marian apparitions. The editorial stance appears to be one of open investigation, meticulously gathering witness accounts and cross-referencing them with official data and expert opinions. While acknowledging the possibility of misidentification or psychological factors, the magazine presents the Spa-Nivezé case as a significant event that warrants serious consideration, even if definitive proof remains elusive. The recurring theme is the search for understanding these phenomena, whether they are extraterrestrial, supernatural, or a combination thereof.

This issue of "Infor-espace" (Issue 28) delves into various aspects of UFO phenomena, blending scientific inquiry with witness testimonies and historical events. The content spans from detailed chemical analyses of water samples to theoretical physics concerning electromagnetic fields and propulsion, alongside photographic evidence and public meeting announcements.

Scientific Investigations and Phenomena

The article "Les Cheveux d'Ange" (Angels Hair) explores the phenomenon of fine filaments observed in UFO-related events. It references early studies by J. Zeleny and W.A. Macky on water drops in electric fields, noting that gradients of 5,000 to 8,000 volts per centimeter can cause water drops to elongate and extract fine filaments. L.B. Loeb's work on 'cristallites' is also mentioned, suggesting these are water molecules oriented by an electric field. The article proposes that UFOs might be surrounded by intense electric fields, leading to the formation of these filaments, possibly as a form of 'effluvium' or a dense 'crust' of monocrystalline filaments.

Another section, "L'extraordinaire explosion de 1908 dans la Taïga," examines the physics behind potential UFO propulsion. The author discusses experimental studies on balanced magnetic fields, particularly toroidal and poloidal fields, and their mathematical requirements. The article draws parallels between these theoretical fields and the structure of the Van Allen belts, noting similar ratios (3/2) in their configurations. It also touches upon the challenges of achieving such fields, including the resistance of conductors and the potential for superconductivity, while acknowledging the difficulties in applying these concepts to real-world UFO phenomena.

Chemical Analyses and Witness Testimonies

A table presents detailed chemical analyses of water samples from four locations: Tonnelet, Sauveniere, M. Henriette, and Reine Groesbeck. The data includes concentrations (in milligrams per liter) of various ions such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Manganese, Aluminum, and Baryum, as well as Chlorides, Sulfates, and Hydrocarbonates. The total ionic concentration in parts per million (p.p.m.) is also provided for each location.

The issue compiles a list of recent UFO sightings, providing dates and brief descriptions. These include an object leaving a white trail (March 1950), a fireball (August 1952), a lenticular object (Winter 1971), a luminous point surpassing an airliner (March 1972), a stationary object (July 1972), a metallic object changing aspect (August 1972), two silver discs (October 1972), a luminous point (November 1972), a yellowish luminous sphere with sparks (December 1972), and three luminous points in a triangle (December 1972).

Photo Case Study: Australia, April 2, 1966

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a photo case from Balwyn, Victoria, Australia, dated April 2, 1966. The report details an industrialist's sighting of a bright, luminous object described as a large, flexible, white disc that undulated and moved at high speed. The object reportedly exploded in mid-air, releasing a smaller, silver circular object that then flew away. The witness photographed the event, and the analysis by the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society (V.F.S.R.S.) indicated no signs of double exposure or manipulation. The article discusses the object's estimated size (20-25 feet diameter) and altitude (around 120 feet), and attempts to calculate its dimensions based on its distance from the observer.

Public Meetings and Editorial Stance

Announcements for upcoming public meetings organized by SOBEPS are included, detailing dates, locations, and topics in Liège, Brussels, and Arquennes. These meetings cover presentations on humanoid beings associated with UFOs and general aspects of the UFO phenomenon. The magazine also appeals to its members for support through subscriptions and active participation, highlighting the financial needs of the organization.

The editorial stance, as expressed by Franck Boitte and Jean-Luc Vertongen, emphasizes caution in ufological research, stating that premature judgments are often disproven by facts and that significant attention and time are required to discern a true 'signal' from the data.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Recurring themes include the scientific investigation of physical phenomena associated with UFOs, the analysis of witness testimonies, and the exploration of theoretical physics related to potential UFO propulsion systems. The editorial stance is one of rigorous, evidence-based inquiry, advocating for patience and careful analysis in the study of UFOs, acknowledging that definitive explanations often require long-term observation and research.

This issue of "Les Nouvelles Internationales" delves into the fascinating realm of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related scientific and anecdotal reports. It explores theoretical possibilities in physics, such as immense energy storage through magnetic fields, and presents a collection of eyewitness accounts from around the globe.

Energy Storage and Magnetic Fields

The article begins by discussing the potential for storing vast amounts of energy within a magnetic field, specifically in a toroidal configuration. It calculates an enormous energy capacity, comparing it to the energy released during the Tunguska event and highlighting its potential for space applications, such as launching satellites. The text also touches upon the concept of balanced magnetic fields and their implications for advanced technology.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

The majority of the issue is dedicated to detailed reports of UFO sightings and encounters from various regions:

Quebec, Canada

Several incidents are reported from Quebec. In Saint-Hyacinthe, a farmer observed large red lights rotating around a dark object. In Sainte-Thérèse, a witness described a long, bright, cigarette-shaped object, which was followed by a localized power outage. Another report from Orsainville details a luminous fireball that split into smaller ones. A sighting near Montagne de Rougemont describes a large, Saturn-like object that maneuvered close to a witness's car.

Spain

A significant report from Puente de Herrera, Valladolid, details an alleged UFO landing and a subsequent encounter with a humanoid figure. The witness described a strange object with numerous lights and a figure observing a field, followed by unusual sounds and the object's disappearance.

Argentina

Two cases from Argentina are presented. The first involves two witnesses who experienced a bright flash, observed a 'convoy' of lights, and noted a significant reduction in their travel time between two towns, with one witness experiencing unusual physical symptoms. Another report describes a train-like object with green windows observed near Frias, which later ascended as a fireball.

Australia

Reports from Australia mention a series of ten clear luminous points observed flying in formation at high speed, leaving condensation trails. An investigation by the Australian Air Force is mentioned.

Brazil

A case from Brazil describes a policeman who experienced his car's engine failing, the vehicle becoming transparent, and an object emitting blue light hovering nearby, leading to his loss of consciousness. The witness reported unusual physical changes afterward.

USA

From the Ozark region in Missouri, USA, two women reported seeing a disc-shaped object emerge from a lake, change colors, and disappear silently. Another sighting involved a bright light following a car and hovering over a field.

Scientific and Theoretical Considerations

Beyond the anecdotal reports, the issue touches upon theoretical aspects, including the possibility of achieving nuclear fusion in space using magnetic fields and the immense energy required. It also discusses the concept of 'teleportation' in the context of some of the reported events.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes include the mysterious nature of UFOs, the potential for advanced technology related to magnetic fields and energy, and the challenges of investigating such phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various cases and theories for the reader's consideration, while acknowledging the need for further investigation and the difficulties in obtaining definitive explanations. The publication also highlights the importance of credible witnesses and detailed investigations, even when dealing with seemingly extraordinary events.

This issue of INFO-SPACE, identified as Volume 19, Issue 2, published in 1974, focuses on a critical examination of George Adamski's UFO claims and the historical context provided by Charles Fort's research.

George Adamski: A Necessary Clarification (2)

The article begins by discussing the nature of evidence and proof, distinguishing between subjective impressions and objective scientific proof. It posits that while scientific proof is definitive, the absence of proof does not equate to impossibility, and other forms of evidence, like logical or judicial proof, can lend plausibility.

1. The Witnesses

It recounts the encounter on November 20, 1952, involving George Adamski and six witnesses. The witnesses initially mistook the visitor for an ordinary man, but one, Alice, noticed something unusual and later sketched the visitor. These witnesses signed affidavits, later reproduced in Adamski's book, attesting to the contact. However, the article notes that the Bailey couple later retracted their testimony, and Williamson's explanation for their initial statement is presented.

2. The Molds

George Hunt Williamson reportedly made plaster molds of the 'Venusian's' footprints. The article mentions that interpretations of these molds have varied, with Williamson linking them to biblical prophecies, which Adamski himself disapproved of. The molds later disappeared after Williamson's death, leaving only graphic reproductions.

3. Writing from Another World

This section discusses a photographic plate returned to Adamski, which allegedly contained cabalistic signs and a silhouette resembling a flying saucer. It draws a parallel to a stone discovered by archaeologist Marcel Homet in Brazil, which bore similar markings and was dated to over 10,000 years old. The article questions whether Adamski could have known about this discovery, noting Homet's intrigue and unsuccessful attempt to meet Adamski.

4. Blue Book

The article presents a response from the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book to an inquiry from ufologist Richard Ogden. The response states that while they have a report from a pilot on November 20, 1952, in the vicinity of Desert Center, they have no reports from Adamski himself. This is presented as a 'very special report.'

5. The Photographs

Adamski's collection of UFO photographs is described as sensational, with thousands of such images existing worldwide. These photos have been examined by NICAP specialists. The article notes that many of Adamski's photos are remarkably clear, unlike others which are often blurry. Adamski explains his dedication to photography as a fascinating hobby that became a full-time pursuit. He claims to have spent thousands of hours observing the sky and taken over seven hundred photographs. The article highlights specific photos, including alleged sightings on the Moon and a 'mothership.'

It then critically analyzes some of these photographs, citing opinions that they could be models or even old lampshades. The article mentions a photo taken by Stephen Darbishire in Great Britain that bears a striking resemblance to Adamski's 'Scout Ship,' leading to comparisons of their orthographic projections. However, it questions how a model could be photographed in such a context.

Further photographic 'evidence' is discussed, including a photo taken by Sergeant Jerrold T. Barker, which was later retracted. Other descriptions of 'Scout' craft are mentioned, from British newspapers and sightings over London.

6. The Moon, Venus, and the Rest of the Universe

This section addresses Adamski's cosmological claims, which the article suggests further disqualify him in the eyes of the scientific community. These claims include:

1. The Moon is inhabited, with cities, water, and an atmosphere. Adamski claimed to have seen lakes and forests.
2. Mars, Venus, and Saturn are inhabited, and he met their natives.
3. The rest of the solar system is also inhabited.
4. Inhabitants of Mars, Venus, and Saturn are similar to humans and are guiding humanity spiritually, morally, and scientifically.
5. There are twelve planets in our solar system and in every solar system.
6. Our understanding of solar energy propagation is incomplete; planets receive energy differently due to asteroid belts.

The article finds these claims largely unverifiable or contradictory to current scientific understanding, noting that while Adamski claimed to see ancient water traces on the Moon, this is now scientifically recognized.

It also touches upon the 'fireflies of space' phenomenon described by Adamski and compares it to astronaut observations of luminous particles in orbit.

Charles Fort, First Recount of Past UFOs

This section introduces Charles Fort as a precursor in the study of exceptional and unusual phenomena. The article draws from Fort's works, 'The Book of the Damned' and 'Lo!', to present historical UFO cases.

Early 20th Century Sightings

Several historical accounts are detailed:

• February 28, 1904: Three luminous objects observed by the crew of the U.S. ship 'Supply' at low altitude, estimated to be two kilometers in diameter, moving rapidly.
• February 13, 1905: A witness saw a fireball that disappeared and reappeared near the ground.
• July 2, 1907: Bishop John S. Michaud observed a luminous, torpedo-shaped object hovering in Burlington, Vermont.
• January 28, 1908: Employees of Norwich Transportation Company saw a dark, globular object moving rapidly.
• July 10, 1910: The crew of the French fishing boat 'Jeune Frédéric' observed a black, bird-shaped object that plunged into the ocean and resurfaced.
• September 9, 1910: Luminous objects were seen near Dessau, Germany, including a 'balloon' with a detached nacelle.
• August 30, 1910: Lights were observed over New York City, possibly an airplane.
• September 21, 1910: Numerous spherical objects moved across the sky over New York City.
• September 22, 1910: A cigar-shaped object appeared in difficulty over Lake Erie near Dunkirk, New York.
• Around the same time: A 'spherical cube' aerial vessel was reported over Porto Principal, Peru.
• March 6, 1912: Residents of Warmley, England, reported a brightly lit 'aeroplane' flying over the village.
• April 8, 1912: Two stationary, triangular objects were observed in Chisbury, Wiltshire.
• November-December 1913: Professor Chant reported on a luminous body with a long tail observed over Canada, the United States, and Bermuda.
• September 9, 1922: Two individuals saw an 'aeroplane' fall into the sea near Barmouth, Wales.
• February 15, 1923: Luminous objects, described as intense as headlights, were seen moving at high altitudes over Fenny Compton, England.
• January 27, 1924: Similar luminous phenomena were reported near the same location.
• 1925: Multiple observations of wandering lights over Brown Mountain, North Carolina, were reported.

The article mentions a geologist's report attributing these lights to car headlights, locomotive projectors, and other mundane sources, but questions the objectivity of such reports.

It concludes by noting that Charles Fort's work contains a vast array of unusual observations beyond UFOs, including rains of colored objects, animals, gelatinous matter, ice, and metal, as well as green suns and blue moons.

A Good Piece of News

This section announces the upcoming publication of a 'guide for the investigator' aimed at assisting in the investigation of UFO phenomena. It highlights the importance of rapid and serious initial investigations and details the guide's content, which includes general considerations on investigation techniques, a questionnaire, and appendices on estimating altitude, describing trajectories, analyzing physical traces, and writing reports.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue adopts a critical stance towards George Adamski's claims, meticulously dissecting his evidence and comparing it with scientific knowledge and historical accounts. The recurring theme is the scrutiny of 'evidence' presented in the UFO field, questioning its authenticity and reliability. The article emphasizes the importance of scientific rigor and objective proof, while acknowledging the existence of unexplained phenomena documented by researchers like Charles Fort. The editorial stance appears to be one of cautious skepticism towards sensational claims, advocating for a more grounded and evidence-based approach to UFO research. The publication of the 'investigator's guide' suggests a commitment to promoting more systematic and credible UFO investigation methods.

This document appears to be a promotional insert or a collection of advertisements related to a magazine titled "KADATH". The primary focus of KADATH is stated as "PRIMHISTOIRE" (Prehistory), described as the first illustrated review exclusively dedicated to the mysteries of archaeology and prehistory, aiming to shed light on the enigmas of prehistory and chronicles of lost civilizations.
