Key Articles and Content
Historique des Objets Volants Non Identifiés (History of Unidentified Flying Objects)
This section recounts a particularly complex and troubling observation from Finland in 1970. Two skiers, Aarno Heinonen and Esko Viljo, near Heinola, witnessed a luminous object emitting a humming sound. The object, described as metallic and approximately three meters in diameter, descended and hovered, enveloped in a luminous, pulsating mist. A central tube emitted a light beam, and a small humanoid creature, about ninety centimeters tall, with a conical helmet and a light-colored jumpsuit, emerged. This creature held a black box from which a beam of light emanated. The object then ascended, leaving the witnesses with severe physical and psychological distress, including headaches, vomiting, respiratory problems, and a loss of equilibrium. The report cites multiple witnesses and mentions ground imprints with low gamma radiation from a similar incident in Sweden.
La navigation des Phéniciens (2) - Part II: Were the Phoenicians Sailors?
This extensive article, authored by Jacques Dieu, explores the possibility of Phoenician transoceanic voyages, particularly to the Americas, long before Columbus. It presents archaeological evidence, including Phoenician coins found in Tennessee and near Bimini, ruins in Brazil and New Hampshire, and ancient inscriptions. A key piece of evidence is a text discovered in Brazil in 1872, which Cyrus Gordon translated, describing a voyage from Ezion-Gaber, possibly in the Gulf of Aqaba, with 10 ships, a two-year journey around Africa, and eventual arrival on a distant, mountainous island. The article discusses the historical context of the port of Ezion-Gaber, its importance for trade and metallurgy during the reigns of Solomon and Hiram, and its potential decline by the time of Josaphat. It contrasts Phoenician navigation with that of the Polynesians, highlighting the sophisticated knowledge of stars, currents, and maritime phenomena possessed by ancient mariners. The article concludes with three main points: the Phoenicians were skilled navigators who reached the Atlantic; their voyages, possibly accidental due to storms, led them to America; and they possessed advanced navigational tools like the magnetic needle and astrolabe, enabling them to navigate the open sea.
Nos enquêtes (Our Investigations)
This section includes a report on a curious phenomenon observed in Marbehan, Belgium, on February 13, 1973. Bernard Roussel, a 16-year-old student, witnessed six luminous, yellow-orange spheres in formation, moving in a peculiar, synchronized manner. The spheres appeared to disintegrate into smaller pieces and then reform, a cycle that repeated several times over approximately five minutes. The report notes that this observation was communicated to SOBEPS by members of the Cercle Astronomique Arlonnais.
Another part of this section discusses the position of the French gendarmerie regarding UFOs, quoting an article from 'Le Soir Illustré' which states that the gendarmerie takes these phenomena seriously, viewing them as unknown celestial events rather than mere illusions or fantasies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of Inforespace are the persistent presence of unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs) across different regions and time periods, and the exploration of ancient civilizations' capabilities, particularly in navigation. The magazine adopts a serious, investigative stance, presenting detailed accounts of sightings, citing witness testimonies, and referencing archaeological and historical research. There is a clear editorial interest in challenging conventional historical narratives and exploring the possibility of advanced ancient technologies and extraterrestrial influences. The magazine advocates for a more scientific and open-minded approach to studying these phenomena, as evidenced by the call for dedicated funding and equipment for UFO research and the positive portrayal of the French gendarmerie's investigative role.
This issue of "Phénomènes Spatiaux" (Spatial Phenomena), published by SOBEPS, focuses on a collection of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) and UFO sightings reported primarily in the 1970s. The magazine presents detailed accounts from various locations, including Belgium, Spain, Brazil, Canada, and the United States, offering witness testimonies, descriptions of objects, and sometimes evidence of landings or physical traces.
Key Sightings and Incidents
Belgium
Marcinelle (September 16, 1973): The issue details a significant sighting by M. Bernard Dumont and his wife. While driving, they observed an intense yellowish light, brighter than the moon, emanating from a cloud. This was followed by the appearance of six perfectly circular objects, about 1/6th the diameter of the moon, evolving in formation. The objects ascended, descended, and repeated their maneuvers multiple times. Later, a single, much larger disc appeared, moving vertically at high speed before disappearing. A second observation by Dumont, a few minutes later, involved three objects in a triangular formation exhibiting similar behavior.
Mont-sur-Marchienne (September 16, 1973): M. and Mme Nackaerts observed two luminous, lenticular objects moving horizontally in the sky. Their color was white with a clear brilliance, and their contours were sharp against the cloudy sky.
Gosselies (September 16, 1973): Mme S.V. reported seeing a very luminous, immobile beam of light directed towards the ground, originating from a small cloud.
La Roche-en-Ardenne (May 14, 1974): M. and Mme Muller observed a powerful luminous source low in the sky. The object, described as a "big star," increased in size as it descended. It exhibited erratic movements, appearing to respond to the car's headlights by moving closer when they were on and retreating when they were off. The object was described as oval with a yellow-orange color, and a bluish radiation was noted.
Canada
Saint-Mathias-de-Chambly (October 5, 1973): M. and Mme R.N. reported seeing a large white light scanning the ground. Later, they observed a yellow-orange dome-shaped object, approximately 25 meters in diameter. A smaller object, about a quarter of the size, descended from the dome and stopped near a stream. Five small figures, about 1 meter tall, wearing orange suits, emerged and appeared to be working. After the observation, a circular area of flattened and burned grass, 18 meters in diameter, was discovered, along with other traces. The young daughter of the witnesses experienced severe headaches and vomiting after visiting the site.
Spain
Medellin (June 14, 1973): Santiago Pulido Romero observed a pot-shaped object flying at low altitude. The object, estimated to be 20 meters in diameter with a 10-meter high tower, moved at incredible speed and seemed to respond to the witness's car headlights, approaching when they were on and retreating when they were off. The object was described as transparent, revealing three tall figures inside. It hovered and moved erratically, described as a "whirlwind."
Brazil
Ijuí (September 13, 1973): Mlle Lucia Paula Peixoto and three companions observed a "big star" that gradually increased in size and descended. The object, described as oval and dark yellow with reddish tones, accompanied their car for several kilometers. It emitted a dense, condensed, compact light beam. The object responded to the car's movements, including zigzagging and braking, and seemed to attempt mental contact with the occupants.
United States
Hampton, New Hampshire (May 20, 1974): An anonymous witness reported seeing a disc-shaped object, 15-18 meters in diameter, land on the beach. A trap opened, and a humanoid figure, over 1.80 meters tall, emerged. The figure was covered from head to toe and emitted a mist. The object then took off and departed. The landing site showed traces of a pink paste and liquid, and the imprint of four feet.
Nashua, New Hampshire (May 20, 1974): A similar observation was reported a few hours earlier, though details are less extensive.
Investigations and Commentary
The magazine includes details about the investigations conducted for these cases, noting the cooperation of witnesses and the efforts of researchers like M. Daniel Liénard. It highlights the challenges in gathering information, especially when cases are reported months after the event, as with the Dumont sighting. The article also mentions the recurring nature of certain phenomena, such as "solid light" beams and objects responding to signals, drawing parallels with other documented cases.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue emphasizes the variety of UAP forms and behaviors observed, from multi-object formations to single discs and humanoid encounters. A recurring theme is the apparent intelligence and responsiveness of these objects to human presence and actions, particularly the use of vehicle headlights as a signaling method. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into these phenomena, presenting detailed accounts and encouraging further investigation and witness reports. The magazine aims to document these events thoroughly, acknowledging the skepticism some witnesses initially held but were overcome by their experiences.
This issue of Inforespace, dated October 2, 1971, focuses on UFO phenomena and the scientific exploration of Mars. The cover prominently features a report from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, detailing a UFO sighting.
UFO Sightings
New Hampshire, USA (August 11, 1974)
The magazine recounts a detailed account of a UFO sighting in New Hampshire, involving police officers from Telton. The officers, Mark Paine and Mike Alden, were on patrol on Route I-93 when they observed an unidentified object. The report describes the object's appearance and behavior, including its movement, the emission of luminous rays, and attempts at communication using blue lights. Several police units, including those from Belmont and Guilford, were involved in the observation. The objects were described as being arranged in a triangle, with one report detailing a third object appearing. The officers expressed nervousness and disbelief, fearing they would be dismissed as "crazy." The object was described as elliptical in shape, with a dome, and approximately ten meters in diameter.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (October 2, 1971)
The issue also features a detailed report from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, concerning a sighting by a young girl named Vânia (9 years old) and her godmother Vera (21 years old). They observed a luminous yellow object in the sky, initially thought to be an airplane or helicopter, but its slow speed and silent approach indicated otherwise. The object hovered about twenty meters from them, near a street transformer. Vera described it as a central body with two lateral luminous axes and three pulsating lights (yellow, blue, and red). The object then moved vertically and descended. The sighting was also witnessed by other people, who interpreted it as a satellite. The object was photographed by M. Nelson Calmon Schubsky using a Leica camera.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (October 6, 1971)
Four days later, on October 6, a larger, yellow object was observed over the same neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. This object circled the tower of the "Helena Rubinstein" cosmetics factory twice.
Mars Exploration and the Possibility of Life
The magazine dedicates a significant portion to the exploration of Mars and the ongoing debate about extraterrestrial life. It discusses the historical observations of Mars, starting with Giovanni Schiaparelli's "canali" and Percival Lowell's interpretation of Martian canals. The article details the findings from various space probes, including Mariner-4, Mariner-6, Mariner-9, and Soviet Mars missions, which have provided detailed topographical maps of the planet. The surface features described include volcanoes, canyons, craters, dunes, and dried-up riverbeds, suggesting past or present geological activity and potentially liquid water.
The atmospheric conditions on Mars are analyzed, noting its thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide, with low pressure and temperatures that would cause water to sublimate rather than exist in liquid form. However, the presence of ice caps and atmospheric water vapor is highlighted. The article discusses the interpretation of dark areas on Mars as potential vegetation, though alternative explanations involving dust storms and albedo changes are also presented. The role of solar radiation and its potential impact on life is considered.
The upcoming Viking missions by NASA are presented as a crucial step in the search for life on Mars. The article outlines the four experiments designed to detect the presence of living organisms, focusing on metabolism, nutrient assimilation, and potential growth. The challenges of planetary protection, including the sterilization of spacecraft to prevent contamination of Mars, are also mentioned.
Art Interpretation: Jérôme Bosch
Another article explores the works of the painter Jérôme Bosch, specifically his "Temptation of Saint Anthony." The author, referencing the work of Robert Charroux and Jules Duhem, suggests that Bosch may have depicted advanced technological devices, such as radio antennas and a goniometer, in his fantastical paintings. The article analyzes the details in Bosch's artwork, interpreting certain elements as representations of flying machines and navigational instruments, predating modern technology.
Other Sections
The issue also includes a section on references, a public meeting announcement for the SOBEPS society in Liège, Belgium, and an errata section correcting previous information published in Inforespace.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting detailed accounts of sightings alongside scientific data and speculative interpretations, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional explanations. The magazine aims to inform its readers about ongoing research and events in the fields of ufology and space science.
Title: Inforespace
Issue: 24
Date: June 1972
Content Focus: Historical UFO accounts, a specific Brazilian UFO/humanoid encounter, and discussions on ufology and parapsychology.
Historical UFO Accounts
The magazine delves into historical records, starting with Conrad Wolffhart (pseudonym Lycosthenes) and his "Prodigiorum ac Ostentorum Chronicon" from 1557. This work, inspired by Julius Obsequens, details numerous aerial phenomena that Charles Fort later rediscovered. Lycosthenes documented cases from 384 AD onwards, including strange lights, "columns," "fiery swords," "fireballs," and "dragons" in the sky. The text highlights specific sightings from 384 AD (a column-like sign), 393 AD (a brilliant globe evolving into a fiery sword), 394 AD near Antioch (a colossal, whip-sounding figure), 398 AD over Byzantium (a fireball with a sword), and 457 AD over Britain (a globe with fiery rays resembling a dragon).
Further historical accounts are presented from Grégoire de Tours, who chronicled contemporary events in his "Historia Francorum." His records include descriptions from 584 AD of brilliant, crossing light rays, and from 585 AD, of luminous rays or domes moving rapidly. In 587 AD, a luminous cloud with a "capuchon" shape was observed.
Bède le Vénérable's "Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum" is also cited, detailing events from the 7th to 8th centuries. A significant event from 664 AD describes a great light descending from the sky and encircling a convent near Barking, London. In 678 AD, "two absolutely remarkable men" with unusual attire and aspect were reported as sent from the sky. In 729 AD, the monk Wilfred reported seeing "two great comets" turning around the sun.
The issue also mentions phenomena from 679 AD (cotton-like matter falling in Niinawa, Japan), and around 746-48 AD, where "dragons" and "aerial vessels with men" were seen in England. A red cross appeared in the sky over England in 773 AD, and "monstrous serpents" were observed. The siege of Sigisburg in 776 AD is linked to an account of "two red shields" seen in the sky by Saxons.
Later historical accounts include a "burning torch and brilliant spheres" in Hungary in 919 AD, and "armies marching" in the sky over Verdun in 927 AD. The text notes that while many of these phenomena might be natural (meteors, auroras, comets), Lycosthenes' descriptions are abundant and often labeled as "meteors" or "comets." A critique is made of Conrad Wolffhart for relying on accounts passed down through generations.
The Lagoa Negra Encounter (January 1958)
This section details a significant UFO sighting and humanoid encounter that occurred in January 1958, near the Lagune Noire in Viamão, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The event was witnessed by five people: the farm owner, his wife, their son and daughter, and a farm employee. The object, described as round and metallic with a diameter of about 10 meters and a height of 3 meters, descended vertically and hovered about 2 meters above the black sand of the lagoon, at a distance of 390 meters from the farmhouse.
The object had a dome-like top resembling a hat and emitted an intense, faint red light that caused a burning sensation and penetrated the house without casting shadows. After hovering, the object ascended vertically with a slight rotational movement. The animals on the farm showed no signs of distress.
Two types of humanoids emerged from the vicinity of the object. The first type consisted of two tall beings, approximately 2 meters in height, with white skin, long hair reaching their shoulders, broad faces, and wearing white jumpsuits with a dark belt. They were described as having large, bare feet with long toes. The second type comprised three smaller beings, not exceeding 1.40 meters, also with white skin and long hair, wearing brown jumpsuits with a belt, and wearing small boots. These were classified as "T3.V3" and "T3.V2" respectively, according to Jader U. Pereira's classification.
The tall beings moved towards a fence and a stream, then returned. The shorter beings remained near the object. The tall beings then approached the fence again, crossing a small wooden bridge. The occupants' movements were described as having a rigid gait when moving away from the object.
Ground traces were found the next day, including large footprints from barefoot individuals with long toes and smaller prints with a heel and a sole marked with a five-pointed star. The witnesses compared the tall humanoids to "saints," and the dogs remained impassive throughout the event, leading to speculation about connections with parapsychology.
Commentary and Analysis
Claude Bourtembourg provides commentary on the Lagoa Negra case, referencing Jader U. Pereira's classification of humanoids. He notes the "indifferent" attitude of the beings towards the witnesses and the remarkable way they entered and exited the UFO, suggesting a possible materialization/dematerialization process akin to ghosts. The impassivity of the dogs is also highlighted as a point of interest, linking it to similar observations in other UFO cases.
Bourtembourg also discusses the possibility of a parapsychological explanation, citing Jacques Vallée's work on "invisible colleges" and the idea that UFO phenomena might be manifestations of a single, unknown cause. He suggests that the distance of the object from the witnesses might explain how the humanoids could have exited the object and moved around it without being immediately seen, appearing only when they had completed their circuit.
Other Sections
Avis (Notice): This section contains two notices. The first requests residents in buildings with more than four mailboxes to number them for easier mail delivery. The second is a plea for readers to lend books and magazines to the organization to expand their library, specifically requesting issues of NICAP magazine from June 1972 and prior to January 1971.
On nous écrit... (We are written to...): This new section is dedicated to reader correspondence. It states that only excerpts of signed letters will be published, and the opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of SOBEPS. The first letter is from Dr. Georges Hartmann of Wabern, Switzerland, who questions the differing conclusions between Maurice de San's study on the 1909 Siberian event and an article by Maurice Arvonny in "Le Monde," urging de San to respond.
The response from Maurice de San addresses the Siberian event, refuting Arvonny's hypothesis of a cometary nucleus and citing evidence such as abnormal radioactivity and the low speed of the bolide, which he believes exclude a cometary origin. He also criticizes Arvonny for ignoring contradictory observations.
- Book Reviews: The issue includes reviews of three books:
- "Le Collège Invisible" by Jacques Vallée, which explores UFO phenomena and parapsychology.
- "Le Procès des Soucoupes Volantes" by Claude Mac Duff, focusing on Canadian UFO cases.
- "Historique des Objets Volants Non Identifiés" by Lucien Clerebaut, a special issue from SOBEPS detailing UFO history.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores historical accounts of unexplained aerial phenomena, suggesting a long-standing presence of such events. It emphasizes detailed case studies, such as the Lagoa Negra incident, and seeks to connect these phenomena with broader concepts like parapsychology and potential extraterrestrial or unknown intelligences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging reader participation and the critical examination of evidence, while also acknowledging the limitations of current scientific understanding. There is a clear effort to document and archive these events for future research.
This document, titled "Liste des principaux groupements dans le monde" (List of the main groups in the world), appears to be a directory of UFO and UAP research organizations from various continents. It is presented as a list, likely from a magazine or newsletter, detailing the names of these groups, their leadership (presidents, secretaries, editors), and their contact information, including addresses and publication titles.
