Du grain d'orge au nez du Roi (Page 3)

This article humorously traces the origins of English measurement units like the inch, foot, and yard, highlighting their often arbitrary and anthropometric beginnings. It contrasts these with the rationalization brought by the metric system, suggesting it will help the English focus more on their 'phantoms' (a playful jab at their penchant for the unusual).

L'ORDRE DES ANTONINS (Pages 4-7)

This multi-part investigation delves deeply into the history of the Order of Antonins. It begins by situating the order's origins in the Isère region of France, near Saint-Marcellin and the ancient forest of Chambarand. The article highlights the Order's historical importance, comparable to the Templars and Hospitallers, and its role in treating the 'Mal des Ardents' (St. Anthony's Fire). The text explores the enigmatic foundation of the order, particularly the story of Jocelin and the relics of Saint Anthony, and the construction of their church. It questions historical accounts, suggesting potential discrepancies and the possibility of a hidden, esoteric message. The article also draws parallels between the Antonins and the Knights Templar, noting symbolic similarities and the presence of Templar imagery in their historical sites. The author, Anne VEVE, concludes that the Middle Ages were more complex than commonly perceived, with knights and monks possessing shared knowledge and initiations.

LE GRAND VOYAGE D'UNE ÂME (Pages 8-9)

This section reviews Judith Henry's work, 'Le Grand voyage d'une âme' (The Great Journey of a Soul). The article describes how a medium named Marie, guided by 'Jrânia', revisits past lives and explores various spiritual realms. It touches upon the nature of true love, the importance of work, and the concept of reincarnation. The text describes different astral spheres, including those for infants, the deceased, and beings dedicated to service. It also introduces the idea of extraterrestrials who travel in advanced spacecraft and can adapt their appearance to blend in on Earth. The review praises the work for its capital insights into the afterlife and the numerous spheres of existence.

DEUXIEME SEMINAIRE GERAS (Page 10)

This section announces the second seminar organized by the European Group for Scientific Astrological Research (GERAS), focusing on 'Astrology and Psychosomatics'. The event was scheduled to take place near Geneva and featured a round table discussion with medical specialists and astrology enthusiasts. It clarifies that GERAS's work is distinct from sensationalist horoscopes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unusual, the unexplained, and historical mysteries. There is a clear interest in esoteric knowledge, ancient orders, and phenomena that lie outside conventional understanding. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting historical accounts, investigative reports, and speculative theories without necessarily offering definitive conclusions, encouraging readers to engage in their own research. The publication values detailed investigation, as seen in the extensive coverage of the Order of Antonins, and maintains a critical yet curious approach to its subjects.

This document presents two detailed investigations into UFO (OVNI) sightings conducted by Andre Revol. The first investigation, titled 'Première enquête: Observation à basse altitude' (First Investigation: Low Altitude Observation), took place on July 9, 1975, in St Pierre-de-Cheronnes, Isère, France. The second investigation, 'Deuxième enquête: Observation à basse altitude' (Second Investigation: Low Altitude Observation), occurred on January 4, 1976, near Pont-en-Royans, and a subsequent related series of observations in La Guiche, Saône-et-Loire, France, in late June 1976.

First Investigation: St Pierre-de-Cheronnes, July 9, 1975

The primary witness for the first investigation was Michel VILLARD, an insurance agent and part-time typographer, who was accompanied by his wife Marylène and their daughter Armelle. The observation occurred around 8:45 PM while they were driving. Initially, they noticed a zig-zagging trail in the sky, which was followed by a circular object that appeared to be the source of the trail. Mr. Villard described the object as having a diameter of about 10 cm, appearing as large as the full moon. The object then stopped and began to spin at a frightening speed, creating a fixed luminous halo around it. Suddenly, the object vanished as if evaporated, leaving only the halo and a clear void within.

The observation was made with the naked eye from a distance of at least 20 km, and similar phenomena were reportedly seen by numerous inhabitants in the region of St Marcellin and southeastern France. The object's trajectory was described as moving from Southwest to Northeast, passing over Valence and disappearing towards Tain. Its estimated altitude was around 3000 meters.

The observation was divided into three phases:

• Phase 1 (20h.45'): A zig-zagging trail at high speed, with no discernible object yet. The trail was described as a 'staircase' in the sky, estimated to be 300 km long, and remained visible for about an hour after the object disappeared. The color was white-pink.
• Phase 2: A spherical object appeared at the front of the trail, leaving a wide wake. It was white-pink, slightly darker than the trail, and appeared to be as large as the full moon.
• Phase 3: The object stopped abruptly and began to spin rapidly clockwise. A fixed white-pink halo formed around it. The object then evaporated, leaving the halo visible for over an hour, along with a very white veil.

The total duration of the observation was estimated to be 15 to 20 seconds, with 14 seconds for the first two phases and 4 seconds for the third.

Following the sighting, the Villard family was quite shaken, especially young Armelle. Mr. Villard contacted the gendarmerie in St Marcellin at 9:05 PM. The gendarmerie confirmed the presence of the mysterious trail. However, due to Andre Revol being away on military service, no further action was taken at the time, and no report was filed.

Second Investigation: Pont-en-Royans and La Guiche, January-June 1976

Pont-en-Royans, January 4, 1976

This investigation involved Patrick Foudraz, a 23-year-old resident of Pont-en-Royans. He reported an observation on January 4, 1976, around 2:00 AM. While driving near the locality known as 'Le Chateau de Vermoney', he noticed what he initially thought was a car with its 'STOP' lights on. Upon closer inspection, he saw a third red light positioned about 8 meters above the first two. He realized it was not a car. The object had three fixed, large red lights and was stationary. He observed it for 5 minutes, but no other vehicles passed by. The object was about 150 meters from his parked car. The lights did not blink. The observation lasted a total of 7 minutes before Foudraz left. The object did not move. The moon was hidden by clouds, and the object made no noise.

Foudraz was initially reluctant to report the sighting, but a few days later, his sister-in-law, Margarette Foudraz, recounted a similar experience. An acquaintance driving with her fiancé reported seeing a strange light in the sky around 2:30 AM on the same night, which momentarily eclipsed the headlights of their car. This event occurred near the village of St André-en-Royans, a few kilometers from Foudraz's observation site.

La Guiche, June 24-28, 1976

This series of observations involved Jacques BORGNES, a farmer living in La Guiche. He reported being woken up by an unusual humming sound for several consecutive nights in the weeks leading up to June 24, 1976.

• Night of June 24-25, 1976 (1:40 AM): Borgnes was awakened by a loud humming sound that seemed to pass over his building. He described it as an air displacement sound. Suddenly, a light illuminated his room as brightly as daylight. He saw a rose-orange, cupola-shaped light, slightly smaller than the moon, hovering about 500 meters away. It was stationary and 'flickering'. The luminous object then ascended vertically, disappearing and transforming into a divergent light beam that illuminated the ground over an area of about thirty meters. The entire observation lasted about twenty seconds.
• Night of June 25-26, 1976 (2:40 AM): Borgnes was asleep, but his wife was awakened by the humming sound passing over the farm again.
• Night of June 25-26, 1976 (3:10 AM): Both Mr. and Mrs. Borgnes were awakened by the humming sound. They discussed the mysterious event.
• Night of June 25-26, 1976 (3:40 AM): The humming sound returned, and the couple rushed to the window to see a luminous beam fleeing towards the horizon.
• Night of June 27-28, 1976 (1:20 AM): The humming sound was heard again, and the object seemed to pass over the farm more rapidly, but no light was observed.

Mr. Borgnes had already informed the gendarmerie of the 'flying saucer' presence. He also spoke with his neighbors, the LOTISSIER family, who reported that their son had witnessed a similar, unusual encounter that same night (June 26-27) around 3:40 AM. He saw a luminous object, which he initially mistook for a 'GS' (likely a vehicle), moving strangely above the road and emitting a light beam on the ground.

Traces and Complementary Details

Two days after the La Guiche sightings, Andre Revol, guided by gendarmes, attempted to find traces of the object's passage in Mr. Borgnes's field. They found a peculiar, slightly burnt imprint, about 4 meters in diameter, shaped like a horseshoe, located below where the object had been seen hovering. Infrared photos of the area yielded no significant results.

Locals in the La Guiche region were skeptical of these reports. Notably, Mr. Borgnes's dogs did not react to the phenomenon, and his son slept through it. Mrs. Lotissier, however, did hear the strange humming sound once.

Conclusion of the Investigator

Andre Revol concludes that both the Villard and Borgnes cases involved phenomena that were certainly OVNI (UFOs) and likely the same phenomenon. He regrets the lack of detailed information from the second witness (Patrick Foudraz) due to his involuntary departure. No traces were found on the ground. He notes that the Borgnes case, despite not being spectacular, is significant due to the repeated manifestations in the same location and observed by the same witness. He compares it to the extraordinary 'boules de l'AVEYRON' (balls of Aveyron) case. Revol suggests that the story may not be over.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The document focuses on detailed witness testimonies of aerial phenomena, emphasizing the consistency of observations and the credibility of the witnesses. The investigations are presented in a methodical manner, including witness backgrounds, detailed descriptions of the events, and the investigator's conclusions. The recurring theme is the presence of unexplained luminous objects exhibiting unusual behavior and sounds, with a notable absence of fear or physical harm reported by the witnesses. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into UFO phenomena, presenting the evidence and allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions, while leaning towards the belief in genuine UFO encounters.

Article on Violet Electro-Vibratory Processes

Following the UFO investigations, there is a section discussing 'LES PROCEDES ELECTRO-VIBRATOIRES VIOLET' (Violet Electro-Vibratory Processes). This section, attributed to Andre Revol, discusses the concept of 'biological waves' and their importance for human health and vitality. It references the work of Marcel VIOLET, a former automobile and motorcycle champion who dedicated thirty years to experimenting with these waves. The text explains that these processes aim to capture and redistribute these natural waves, which are believed to be lacking in modern diets, leading to a lack of vitality, passivity, fatigue, and premature aging. The article mentions a book by M. Violet titled 'L'Energie Cosmique au service de la Santé et du Progrès ou le Secret des Patriarches' and provides details on how to obtain it.

This issue of LES O.V.N.Is. (UFOs) features a cover story titled "UNE EXPLICATION" by Mr. PLAT, which delves into the phenomenon of unidentified flying objects. The magazine also includes articles on spiritual healing, ancient rituals, and paranormal research.

"UNE EXPLICATION" by Mr. PLAT

Mr. PLAT addresses the frequent discussions and controversies surrounding UFOs. He criticizes the initial dismissive attitude of the press and the silence of official science, suggesting that denying or ridiculing testimonies is a form of negation of research or bad faith. PLAT notes that societal conformity can hinder progress, but new spirits emerge who are willing to seriously consider the possibility of these objects being extraterrestrial.

He references a statement from a minister who revealed that a commission was created in 1954 by the Ministry of Armies to investigate UFO sightings. The minister acknowledged that there is something unexplained and advocated for an extremely open attitude, not doubting people's good faith, stating that drawing conclusions is premature. PLAT praises this objective and logical stance.

The article highlights that thousands of testimonies worldwide support the existence of these flying objects of unknown origin, with many reports of landings and traces left behind. The abundance of recurring facts leads humanity to question, sometimes with unease.

PLAT suggests that humans, in their pride and limited knowledge, feel humiliated by the idea that beings more evolved in knowledge and possibilities might exist, especially as humanity begins to explore the Moon. He posits that humanity is like a child in the 'kindergarten' of science and that previous civilizations on Earth were far more advanced, leaving behind incomprehensible traces of their knowledge (e.g., Easter Island, Nazca, Tiahuanaco).

He argues that scientists fear confronting the 'fog' of knowledge from ancient civilizations, preferring the comfort of material pursuits. He draws parallels to historical resistance to new ideas, such as the initial disbelief in heavier-than-air flight or Pasteur's discoveries.

As experimental spiritualists, the authors are convinced of the existence of spirits and their subjection to the law of evolution, whether in material or spiritual form. They believe that different levels of evolution imply different possibilities. They pay attention to information from 'guide-spirits' who teach 'primary earthlings.'

They acknowledge the existence of retrograde individuals but emphasize that time and divine wisdom bring understanding. They advocate for collaboration with 'energies' that provide knowledge and evidence, rather than dismissing them.

The article explains that UFOs, referred to as 'flying saucers' or 'flying cigars,' are important phenomena related to both the Material and the Spiritual. They are described as functioning according to the laws of evolution. The authors suggest that these phenomena can be understood through the lens of spiritual evolution, where beings operate with greater possibilities, including the ability to 'dematerialize' and 'rematerialize,' explaining their visibility and sudden disappearances.

They propose that these extraterrestrial beings have evolved beyond the material limitations of current human technology, making interstellar travel feasible over vast distances and timeframes that would be impossible for humans with their current understanding. The concept of 'dematerialization' and 'rematerialization' is presented as a key to understanding how these craft can traverse immense distances and appear or disappear instantaneously.

Ultimately, PLAT concludes that UFOs of unknown nature truly exist, supported by global testimonies. He asserts that no scientific explanation can adequately account for them, proving that there is something beyond current human comprehension.

"MESSAGE DE L'ANGE DE L'HARMONIE"

This section presents a prophecy foretelling the end of a 'perverse world' with the proliferation of nuclear weapons. It predicts a conflict in the Middle East, fueled by oil, between the 'Star of David' and the 'Pentagram.' It speaks of destructive forces unleashed from matter, with only certain privileged locations remaining untouched. The prophecy states that it will take five thousand years for nature to reclaim its rights, and that everything will be restored when Sagittarius 'shoots its arrow.'

KRUPTOS: La revue du Savoir Caché

This is a brief mention of the magazine KRUPTOS, highlighting its third issue which includes articles on the Grail, the secret history of an initiatory federation, and other topics.

ASTROLOGIQUE: Le MAGAZINE DE L'ASTROLOGIE CONTEMPORAINE

This section announces a magazine focused on astrology, featuring articles on computers, Chinese astrology, and the Yi-King.

LES EXTRATERRESTRES

This announces a new information magazine about UFOs, providing its address and annual subscription price.

QUELQUES MOTS A PROPOS DU MORTIER DE SANG

This article discusses the ancient ritual of 'blood mortar,' used in construction to protect the first inhabitant from supernatural vengeance. Initially, human sacrifice was used, later replaced by animal sacrifice or eggs. The practice evolved to using wine, but human sacrifices continued.

It recounts historical instances, such as a man found buried in a wall with a compass in his head in JALOGNY, and another skeleton in a Gallo-Roman villa in CORTEVAIX. A case in LACROST in the 19th century involved a bull found in the foundations of a tower. The article details the story of François DOMBOIS, a master mason who refused to perform an expiatory sacrifice for a cemetery wall in 1866. His untimely death shortly after the work's completion led to him being the first person buried in the new cemetery. His tombstone is described as bearing companion signs and the seal of Solomon.

LES MEDECINS DE L'AU-DELA

This article explores the concept of spiritual healing, attributing the power to 'divine emanation' and natural laws. It highlights psychic healing as a significant aspect, where psychology, as the science of the soul, plays a crucial role. The article explains that a patient seeking improvement will likely achieve it, demonstrating the action of the spiritual principle. The personality is seen as the expression of this principle, evolving with experience.

Psychic healers are described as working on the soul or spiritual principle of the patient. Spirits are said to come to Earth to gain experience and inhabit material bodies using the 'subtle body' as an intermediary. This subtle body is a fine, resistant tissue that adapts to the physical body, composed of electrical cells maintained by magnetic force, and it provides energy to the physical body.

The existence of this subtle body, or 'aura,' has been confirmed by scientific means, including photography using high-frequency electrical currents. The aura reflects the state of health and becomes brighter as health improves. It is also used by mediums to distinguish physical and spiritual disharmony.

Upon the death of the physical body, the subtle body transitions to a world of lighter vibrations. In the afterlife, spirits adapt to a new atmosphere and environment, which is intrinsically constituted of highly rarefied matter. The life in the afterlife is eternal, with continuous learning and progression through different spheres.

The article contrasts psychic operations with physical surgery, emphasizing the absence of anesthesia, shock, and the rapid recovery associated with psychic healing. It explains that surgeons from the afterlife require a medium to perform interventions on the subtle body, taking control of the medium's body temporarily. The ability to be a psychic healer is presented as a gift that must be developed.

Psychic surgeons from the afterlife can contact Earth through mediums in a trance state, allowing them to continue their work. The article notes that the patient hears the voice of the afterlife physician with their original timbre. It also stresses the importance of verifying the identity of 'control entities' acting as guides.

UN OVNI à GLOZEL

This article recounts a personal experience of a UFO sighting at Glozel in 1976. The author, on a trip organized by the Archaeology Group, learned that Glozel had been overflown and that its discoverer, Monsieur Emile Fradin, was a witness.

Fradin describes seeing a luminous object, appearing as a blade of fire about five meters long and high, hovering about fifty meters away. The object was vivid red, made no noise, and emitted no smoke. It moved slowly to the north for nearly two minutes. Fradin's family initially dismissed his account, but his neighbor's son, Roger, corroborated the sighting.

The article then discusses the ongoing analysis of artifacts found at Glozel. Radiocarbon dating of bones suggests an age of 17,500 years +/- 1,500 years, while thermoluminescence dating of tablets places them between 700 BC and 100 AD. This discrepancy raises questions about the site's history, the possibility of different populations occupying it, and the use of ancient bones as materials.

It also questions why glassmakers in the 18th century would place tablets nearly 2,000 years old in one of their abandoned kilns, especially since these tablets bear traces of glass, which has complicated early investigations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the mystery of UFOs, the limitations of current scientific understanding, and the exploration of spiritual and paranormal phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-mindedness towards unexplained events, advocating for a broader perspective that includes spiritual and potentially extraterrestrial explanations, while also acknowledging the ongoing research into ancient mysteries and alternative healing methods.

This issue of the "BULLETIN DE LIAISON DES AMATEURS D'INSOLITE" (Liaison Bulletin for Lovers of the Unusual) is a French publication that explores a variety of fringe topics, including archaeology, ufology, parapsychology, and esoteric studies. The cover prominently features an image of Stonehenge with concentric circles, suggesting a focus on ancient mysteries and unexplained phenomena. The magazine includes articles, directories of organizations and publications, and a crossword puzzle.

Archaeology and Anomalies

The issue begins with a report on results obtained by Madame Lemercier, who has traced isomagnetic curves on "fields of the dead" and surrounding areas, revealing anomalies. These findings imply the necessity for new excavations and surveys at magnetically detected locations. The article expresses hope that these future digs will be conducted peacefully, given the interest from French and foreign researchers, and mentions the possibility of important discoveries in the region, including rumors of caves being sealed off by the gendarmerie.

The "Groupe Archéologie" (Archaeology Group) is mentioned as continuing to follow these developments. They also refer readers to previous issues (Nos 1 and 2) for information on "GLOZEL" and provide access to slides in their documentation archive.

Ufology and Related Publications

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to listing and describing various organizations and publications related to ufology and unexplained phenomena. These include:

• UFO-RAPPORT: A Swedish publication covering ufology, physics, and astronautics, located in Nässjö, Sweden.
• REVUE UFO INFORMATION: An organ of a commission investigating UFOs (OVNIS), with an address in Valence, France.
• OURANOS: A review on UFOs, parapsychology, and unexplained phenomena, with an address in Bohain, France.

Additionally, there are mentions of specific products like "LOTION PHILIPPE CARLIER," which claims to enhance spirituality, and a service called "VOTRE CIEL NATAL" that provides personality analysis based on astrological data, requiring a birth date, time, place, and a photograph.

Toponymy: The Study of Place Names

A lengthy section titled "RENCONTRE AVEC LA TOPONYMIE" (Encounter with Toponymy) explores the science of place names. The authors, described as "curious amateurs of the unusual," explain that toponymy is a complex historical and linguistic science that traces migrations, conquests, and the development of civilizations through the analysis of place names. It can reveal settlement patterns and the influence of different peoples. The article emphasizes that this section is a compilation of information gathered incidentally, rather than a scientific treatise, and acknowledges its incompleteness. It includes a list of French toponymic roots and their meanings, often derived from Gaulish, Latin, or Celtic origins, and also incorporates some Old French terms that might appear in descriptions of locations.

The first person to send the correct solution will receive a "little flying saucer fetish."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of the unexplained, historical anomalies, and esoteric knowledge. The editorial stance appears to be one of curiosity and investigation into subjects often considered outside mainstream science or history. The publication aims to connect like-minded individuals and provide a platform for sharing information on these "unusual" topics. The inclusion of a toponymy section suggests an interest in the historical and cultural layers embedded in language and landscape. The directory of organizations and publications reinforces the magazine's role as a hub for the "amateurs d'insolite" community.
