Magazine Overview

This issue of "LUMIÈRES DANS LA NUIT" (Lights in the Night), Volume 2, Issue 12, dated February 1959, is dedicated to exploring profound questions about humanity's place in the universe, the implications of scientific advancement, and alternative approaches to health and spirituality. Founded by R. VEILLITH, the magazine aims to guide readers towards truth and new horizons.

CONQUETE DE LA LUNE...ET REFORME DE L'HOMME.

The lead article discusses the recent Russian rocket achievement, which successfully orbited the moon. The author acknowledges the significance of this feat for human knowledge but questions whether it is solely for scientific advancement or also a manifestation of geopolitical power struggles. The article posits that while such exploits are impressive, they do not inherently bring happiness if humanity continues to disregard the laws of life. It urges readers to contemplate their smallness within the vast cosmos, suggesting that true progress lies not only in conquering space but also in reforming the human spirit and behavior. The magazine announces an expansion to 14 pages starting next month without a price increase, emphasizing its commitment to disseminating truth.

The Human Condition and Cosmic Perspective

Further exploring the theme of human reform, the magazine contrasts scientific achievements with the need for humility and a deeper understanding of one's place in the universe. It suggests that the conquest of celestial bodies like the Moon or Venus will not bring happiness if humans continue to ignore life's laws. The article emphasizes that true fulfillment requires a "supplement of soul," a concept previously advocated by BERGSON. It frames the current era as a transition, with a new epoch about to dawn for humanity.

NOUS SOMMES TOUS RESPONSABLES (We are all responsible)

Authored by André CHATILLON, a biologist from Switzerland, this article reflects on the paradox of modern life. Chatillon observes that while science offers sensational applications, humanity is engaged in self-destruction through errors in diet and daily behavior. He critiques practices like vivisection, arguing that animals cannot be equated with humans and that the body is a complex system of forces. He criticizes allopathic medicine for focusing solely on physical anomalies and expresses concern that humanity is becoming increasingly 'mad,' seeking diversity instead of unity. Chatillon asserts that everyone is responsible for this state of affairs, including those striving for a better life. He believes humanity has betrayed Jesus and God's message by acting with a false sense of superiority over creation and by corrupting nature's organization. This path, he warns, leads to destruction, driven by a pursuit of comfort and intellectual knowledge over true understanding.

The Paradox of Modern Life and the Need for Simplicity

Chatillon continues by stating that humanity's desire to differentiate itself and act according to its own 'wisdom' has led to a recognized stupidity. He argues that we are all responsible because we complicate things unnecessarily. He references ancient philosophies like the Vedas, Avesta, and Taoism, which taught that humans are part of a larger whole. He questions whether humanity's "great knowledge" and achievements have truly led to happiness or a better world, pointing to centuries of cruelty towards animals. He criticizes humans for killing for pleasure, vice, or stupidity, unlike animals that may kill for sustenance. Chatillon calls for facing reality and acknowledging that civilization has failed, with oppressed peoples serving as a reminder. He suggests that only by humbly recognizing ourselves as a mere speck in the cosmos can we hope for a redress of the situation, urging a move away from philosophical or spiritual superiority towards recognizing oneself as a humble friend of all creatures.

POUR GUERIR LE CANCER (To Cure Cancer)

This section presents a series of articles by Joseph ANDRE on the subject of cancer. The advice given is extensive and covers various aspects of health and treatment:

1. Diet and Lifestyle: It is essential to avoid overeating and maintain a varied, predominantly vegetarian diet. This includes raw fruits and vegetables, cooked without sauces or spices, and preferably using methods like steaming. Specific recommendations include consuming raw ground wheat, hazelnuts, almonds, and whole grain bread. Avoiding sugars, fats, and alcohol is crucial to prevent intoxication and aggravation of the condition. The advice also extends to avoiding excessively hot or cold foods and drinks, preferring those at room temperature.
2. Environmental Factors: If living in an apartment with harmful radiation, it is recommended to move or use special devices to deflect the waves. The patient's bed should be oriented North-South. The influence of these "nefarious waves" is said to promote microbial action and cause severe organic imbalance.
3. Holistic Approach: The article draws parallels between cancer and tuberculosis, suggesting that similar remedies may apply. It references Brother Benoit PADEY, who believed these conditions were linked by a microbial wave of 93%. PADEY reportedly advised against eggs for patients with these ailments and proposed a treatment involving a metal called 'padium' (92 waves), mixed with calcium phosphate and steeped in water. A dosage of half a glass twice daily, taken before meals, was prescribed, with a 15-day break after four days. Early-stage cancer was said to be curable within four days.
4. External Tumors and Forms: For tumors and external cancer forms, friction with an infusion of coquelourde (anemone pulsatilla) or infusions of Reine-Marguerite or comète géante (a type of ranunculaceae) is recommended.
5. Leukemia: Similar remedies to point 3 are applicable. Additionally, Linden (tilleul) infusions are suggested for certain leukemias, along with the use of vegetable charcoal to purify the blood.

The article briefly mentions that bone marrow transplants are currently being used with some success. It notes that blood cancer (leukemia) appears mainly in adults before fifty and affects men more frequently than women, possibly due to a blood flow imbalance and lack of oxygenation.

Further Cancer Treatments:

• Skin Cancer: The official medical approach involved thuya potion internally and applications of the same remedy to ulcerated areas. DENISSENKO prescribed an extract of celandine (chélidoine) internally and injections into the tumor, along with a mixture of celandine extract, neutral glycerin, and distilled water. This was to be applied to affected areas, with caution to avoid irritation. Professor FAY recommended aniline sulfate internally.
• Uterine Cancer: Thuja and condurango were recommended, as was by Dr. VERNON for breast cancer.
• Stomach Cancer and Ulcers: Benoit PADEY suggested infusions of lavender and peppermint. He also developed a formula called "liqueur d'Elisabeth Lapallus" for all organ affections.
• External Wounds and Ulcers: Poultices made from broom (genêt à balai) ashes and infusions of flax (not seeds, but the plant) were recommended. The "divine ointment of Faucon" was said to heal all types of wounds, including epidermal cancer.

The article concludes by stating that ancient knowledge offered effective remedies for organic cancers, and early application, combined with observed conditions, could lead to healing. However, it stresses the importance of combating the "spherula dentata" microbe, which becomes increasingly formidable, and hints that further discussion on this topic will follow in another article.

LES "SOUCOUPES VOLANTES" (Flying Saucers) - Part 2

This section, written by Jean GALY, Professor of Sciences and Secretary General of the Popular Astronomy Society of Toulouse, continues the discussion on unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

Key Points from GALY's Article:

• Concordance of Testimonies: Since 1947, tens of thousands of observations have been made by amateurs. While some may be suspect, the sheer volume and consistency of reports from numerous, credible witnesses (including technicians, pilots, and radar operators) make systematic denial difficult. The article stresses the importance of not being deceived by liars, mystifiers, or the hallucinated, and to focus on accounts where multiple, independent witnesses agree on the object's shape, color, trajectory, and speed.
• Unexplained Phenomena: The article highlights the difficulty in identifying many observed phenomena. It cites a report from the "Air Technical Intelligence Center" as of January 1, 1952, which categorized explanations as: rational (62.1%), insufficient information (23.6%), and totally unexplained (14.3%).
• Typical Cases: Several typical cases are presented:
• June 24, 1947: Encounter with 9 flying objects near Mount Rainier by Kennek ARNOLD.
• January 9, 1948: At Fort Knox, the disintegration of Captain MANTELL's aircraft while pursuing a large "astronef" (unknown craft).
• July 24, 1948: At 1:55 AM, Captain Clarence CHILES and co-pilot John WHITTED, piloting a D.C.3, encountered a 50-meter long, wingless cigar-shaped object with illuminated portholes.
• October 1, 1948: Georges GORMAN, flying a fighter jet, pursued a 30 cm luminous, immaterial sphere for 20 minutes, which seemed to play with him.

LUNIK ?

This section analyzes the trajectory of the Russian rocket LUNIK. The author questions the official narrative, suggesting that the rocket's path might have been influenced by the Moon's gravitational pull, potentially causing it to deviate from a planned solar orbit. The article discusses the speed of the rocket and its interaction with celestial bodies, proposing that it might have fallen back towards Earth or become trapped on the Moon's far side. The author expresses skepticism about the press's claims of the rocket becoming an artificial planet, suggesting that direct observation is impossible and that radio tracking provides limited precision. The article includes a diagram illustrating the potential trajectory of LUNIK relative to the Earth and Moon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the profound implications of space exploration, particularly the Soviet lunar mission, and the urgent need for human spiritual and ethical reform. The magazine consistently questions the ultimate purpose and benefit of scientific advancement if it is not accompanied by a moral and spiritual evolution. There is a strong emphasis on humility, interconnectedness, and a critique of human pride and materialism. The publication also champions alternative and holistic approaches to health, particularly in its detailed discussion of cancer treatments, advocating for natural remedies and a re-evaluation of conventional medical practices. The editorial stance is one of seeking deeper truths beyond superficial scientific or material progress, encouraging readers to reflect on their role in the cosmos and their responsibility towards themselves and the world.

Title: LUMIÈRES DANS LA NUIT
Issue: II (Volume), 3 (Issue Number)
Date: December 1952 (raw date), 1952-12 (ISO date)
Publisher: R. Veillith
Country: France
Original Language: French

This issue of "LUMIÈRES DANS LA NUIT" delves into the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), referred to as M.O.C. (Moyens d'Observation non identifiés) or "soucoupes volantes" (flying saucers). The content focuses on reported sightings, attempts at classification, and hypotheses regarding their origin.

Reported Sightings and Observations

The issue details several significant sightings:

• October 27, 1952, Gaillac, France: Approximately one hundred inhabitants witnessed a formation of 16 saucers escorting a flying cigar. This cigar reportedly dropped brilliant, whitish filaments described as "glass wool."
• February 19, 1956, Orly, France: Radar operators at Orly observed a silent craft on their screens for four hours. The object's evolutions were also seen by the commander of a DC.3 aircraft.
• September 25, 1952, Nièvre, France: Several blocks of ice, varying in color (whitish, brown, amber) and some weighing as much as 5 kilograms, were observed. These were not associated with clouds.

Classification and Characteristics of M.O.C.

The magazine proposes a classification of M.O.C. based on numerous observations:

• Large Cigars: Approximately 200 to 300 meters in length, capable of speeds up to 13,000 km/h.
• Small Cigars: Measuring 30 to 60 meters, reaching speeds of 1,300 km/h.
• Small Discs/Ovals: Some as small as a plate.
• Astronefs: Similar in shape to discs, with dimensions up to 170 meters in diameter. The highest recorded speed for these was 63,000 km/h.
• Fireballs: Generally white and very bright, with no apparent material envelope. Since the Korean War, they have been called "ghost hunters."
• Green Fireballs: These burst into sparks in the air or upon contact with the ground. They have been studied for years by Dr. Lincoln La Paz, head of the "Meteor Studies Department" at the University of New Mexico, particularly in the southwestern United States.
• Glastéroïdes: Blocks of ice of various colors (whitish, brown, amber), some weighing up to 5 kgs, as noted in the Nièvre incident.

Observed Behaviors:

• Sudden Speed Changes: Observers consistently report abrupt transitions from high speed to complete immobility and vice versa.
• Orientation Shifts: When moving from immobility to motion, disc-shaped craft are observed to shift from horizontal to vertical orientation.
• Movement Pattern: While in motion, they are described as advancing like a wheel descending a slope, consistently.
• Color and Brightness Changes: Saucers are frequently reported to change color and brightness during periods of sharp acceleration.
• Fibrous Substance Emission: Cigar-shaped craft and astronefs sometimes expel a fibrous substance, referred to as "angel hair," which sublimates after a few hours.
• Magnetic Phenomena: Magnetic storms have been observed to coincide with the passage of these objects, with residual effects lasting for tens of minutes.

Periodicity and Location:

There appears to be a periodicity in massive M.O.C. appearances, with flying discs reportedly being more numerous during Mars' perigee. While sightings are reported globally, even in deserted regions, certain areas seem privileged, notably the western United States.

Hypotheses on Origin

The issue explores potential origins:

• Human Origin: This is deemed "unlikely today." The possibility of secret American weapons is raised, but immediately questioned by the existence of commissions of inquiry and the seemingly capricious evolutions of the craft, which pose a constant danger.

Propaganda Contest and Subscriptions

The magazine announces a propaganda contest aimed at increasing subscriptions. The goal is to reach 300 subscribers, after which various rewards will be distributed to those who have brought in the most new subscriptions. The publication acknowledges that limited circulation, due to the efforts involved in production and correspondence, has resulted in slower growth than desired. However, the current results are considered encouraging given the limited resources.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the empirical observation and classification of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs/UFOs). The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and open-mindedness, presenting detailed accounts and scientific analysis without outright dismissal. While acknowledging the mystery, the publication leans towards a phenomenon that is real and warrants study, moving beyond simple sensationalism to categorize and hypothesize. The emphasis on propaganda and subscription drives suggests a mission to disseminate information and build a community of like-minded individuals interested in these unexplained events.
