Magazine Overview
Title: LA CIRCULAIRE
Issue: 42
Volume: AVRIL 1995
Publisher: LA CIRCULAIRE
Country: France
Language: French
This issue of LA CIRCULAIRE, dated April 1995, serves as a synthesis of ufological information from various domains. It compiles numerous reports of sightings, analyses media coverage, and discusses related events and publications.
Ancient and Recent Observations
The issue begins with a section detailing recent UFO sightings. An observation from October 22, 1994, in Basse-Ham (Yutz) describes two silent yellow headlights making a turn. On February 12, 1995, in Vitry-s-Seine, two witnesses reported a bright white object, described as a smooth, metallic silver ball, moving slowly.
February 19, 1995, in the Forest of Haye (Nancy), a dark triangle with ribs and lights of different colors (red, green, orange) was observed silently for approximately five minutes. Another report from March 10, 1995, in Vitry-s-Seine, details two consecutive observations: first, a band of small luminous points moving at high speed, and then two witnesses saw luminous points descending from the sky like a starry rain.
March 12, 1995, near Pétange (Luxembourg) towards Esch sur Alzette, three witnesses reported a green ball on the ground and three humanoid figures in diving suits. The witnesses fled, pursued by the green ball. A similar scenario was reported on March 13, 1995, in Hussigny Godbrange towards Villerupt (54), involving two witnesses, a green ball, and humanoids. On the same day, March 13, 1995, a green ball was observed in Halanzy, possibly linking these cases.
On March 30, 1995, in Gif sur Yvette (91), a witness described a large, greenish phenomenon resembling a meteorite with a tail, estimated to be about two centimeters in diameter.
Misidentifications (MEPRISE)
A section on misidentifications discusses an event on M6 on March 6, 1995, concerning a Bavarian crater (20m diameter, 8m deep) discovered on March 4th. It was determined not to be of meteoritic origin but resulted from an explosion, possibly related to the creation of an artificial lake. An agricultural worker reported hearing a loud noise and seeing a fountain of water and mud rise 150 meters high.
Possible misidentifications also include an article in Science et Vie Junior (March 1995) discussing meteorites, citing examples like a meteorite falling on a car windshield in Getafe (Spain) and fragments scattered in Allende (Mexico). The issue also mentions an article about 'spider silk' or 'angel hair' and a phenomenon called 'solar halo' caused by ice particles at high altitudes.
Media Coverage and Articles
The circular extensively covers media reports related to ufology. This includes:
- Photography: A photograph taken from an Airbus on March 5, 1995, shows a 'luminous cigar' surrounded by a halo, attributed to reflections from the aircraft's window.
- US Air Force and Secret Projects: An article in VSD (March 2-8, 1995) discusses a photograph of the highly protected Nellis AFB, mentioning Russian satellite-spy photos and the 'Dreamland' program, including the Aurora, BGV, and other top-secret aerospace projects.
- 'Ghost Planes' in Bosnia: An article in Libération Champagne (March 4, 1995) reports on unknown aircraft sighted by UN peacekeepers in Bosnia, with the UN and NATO concluding it was a misidentification, though the possibility of unknown aircraft remains.
