Main Articles and Features

EN TOURNANT, IL PESE MOINS (When Turning, It Weighs Less)

This article details a demonstration by physicist Eric Laithwaite at the Royal Institution in London on November 9, 1974. Laithwaite presented a machine with a motor and two copper gyroscopes mounted on a platform placed on a precision balance. When the machine was stationary, it weighed 10 kg. Upon activation, the needle dropped to around 7 kg, indicating a reduction in weight. The experiment seemingly defied the principle of action and reaction. Laithwaite explained that his 'antigravity' device complements classical physics, particularly by incorporating the principles of gyroscopic effect. He noted that a spinning gyroscope has the extraordinary property of maintaining its orientation and can, under certain conditions, counteract gravity. He demonstrated this by balancing a spinning gyroscope on a miniature Eiffel Tower. Laithwaite's future projects involve building faster and lighter gyroscopes capable of negating weight or even achieving lift, with potential applications in space vehicles and ground-effect vehicles. The article concludes with a note from the editor (F.L.) expressing interest and suggesting that Laithwaite might also have solutions for propulsion and power for flying objects.

Ce qu'on peut trouver dans les vieux grimoires (What can be found in old grimoires)

This section, by J. Tyrode, recounts an investigation into a historical report from Saules, Doubs, France, dated December 17, 1847. A local man discovered an old ledger with an entry describing an 'ATMOSPHERE SEEN IN THE AIRS AT SIX THIRTY IN THE EVENING. FRIDAY.' The entry mentioned an 'EXTRAORDINARY REDNESS.' The author's research led him to consult observatories in Besançon, Sweden, and Norway. He discovered that the phenomenon was likely a strong aurora borealis, observed with intense red colors, particularly in Norway (Bergen, Orskog, Vardo) at 18:30 Universal Time. The article notes the anomaly that French observatories did not report this intense phenomenon. The author also touches upon historical 'recognitions' of scientific problems, drawing parallels between past events and potential future occurrences, suggesting a cyclical pattern in history and scientific acceptance.

PROBLÈMES HISTORIQUES LIÉS AUX OVNIS, ET AUTRES POINTS IMPORTANTS (Historical Problems Related to UFOs, and Other Important Points)

This article, an excerpt from a letter by Ph. Tournier to Aimé Michel dated January 3, 1975, discusses a 'base 5' model for predicting UFO-related events and societal recognition. Tournier suggests that official and international recognition of UFOs is likely to occur between 1975 and 1983, a period of global scientific synthesis and political responsibility. He draws an analogy with the recognition of meteorites around 1803-1804, predicting a similar timeframe for UFOs, possibly around June 1976. The author also speculates on political shifts, such as the death of President Pompidou and the election of Giscard d'Estaing, and their potential historical parallels. The article links these events to broader historical turning points like the American Revolution (1776) and the French Revolution (1789), suggesting a pattern of societal transformation.

PHÉNOMÈNES ÉTRANGES (Strange Phenomena)

This section by J. Tyrode reports on two distinct incidents:

1. Ouhans (Doubs), February 19, 1973: Around 7:20 AM, numerous witnesses in Ouhans reported a sudden, intense, very red light that illuminated the sky for a few fractions of a second. Explanations considered included lightning, a snowplow's warning light, or a short circuit on a high-voltage power line. The article systematically debunks these explanations, noting the absence of storms, the lack of electrical grid disruption, and the specific characteristics of the light, which some witnesses described as a 'mushroom cloud.' The author suggests that further investigation might be needed once vegetation grows back.

2. Cessieu (Isère), late December 1973: The article describes the 'Bête de Noël' (Christmas Beast) phenomenon, where multiple witnesses in the Cessieu region reported sightings of a large, unidentified animal. The animal was described as not being a bear, wolf, dog, or wild boar, and left tracks with 1.15-meter strides. Gendarmerie investigations concluded it was likely a large dog, but locals disagreed. The animal was described as tall, with powerful claws, and weighing around 150 kg. The article notes that the press coverage was suppressed, and the gendarmerie's conclusion was met with skepticism by the inhabitants.

INSOLITE (Unusual)

This report by Dr. François Marsoo details strange events that occurred on the night of June 5-6, 1948, in his home. While in bed, he heard objects falling, including keys from a hook above his radiator. He initially attributed this to drafts but became perplexed when a second key fell without the first one being removed. He then witnessed a lamp, scissors, and two metallic pliers (unknown to him and later disappearing) being projected across the room. These phenomena occurred around the time his cousin, Albert Roche, was dying. Dr. Marsoo attributes these events to telekinesis or 'apport' phenomena, suggesting a possible connection to his cousin's passing. The editor's note (F. Lagarde) speculates on the possibility of dematerialization and rematerialization of objects, and the potential influence of an agonized mind on physical events, proposing that unknown energies might be at play.

Sur les expériences du groupe de Parapsychologie de Brasilia (On the experiences of the Parapsychology group of Brasilia)

This article by P. Peillou analyzes the book 'Parapsychology and Flying Saucers' by General A. Moacyr de M. Uchôa. The book documents eighteen collective sightings of luminous phenomena, referred to as 'Alexânia cases,' near Brasilia. The author focuses on the factual reports rather than Uchôa's interpretations. The phenomena are divided into three periods: Alexânia 1 (March-July 1968) involved experiments with 'sensitives' contacting supposed Martian or Plutonian beings; Alexânia 2 (July 1968-February 1969) saw the appearance of luminous masses and a materialized being photographed; and Alexânia 3 (February 1969-September 1972) featured more varied and less regular phenomena. The article highlights the group's quest for empirical evidence and the challenges faced, including internal disagreements about the nature of the phenomena (parapsychological vs. extraterrestrial). It details a specific sighting (Report 15) involving a luminous, disk-shaped object emitting golden jets with star-like formations, followed by a telepathic message instructing the group to organize research.

LES OVNIS ET L'ESPACE TEMPS (UFOs and Space-Time)

This article by Raoul Foin explores the hypothesis that UFOs might originate from a different dimension of space-time, rather than distant planets. Foin argues that time and space are often confused in human perception, especially when discussing vast cosmic distances measured in light-years. He posits that, theoretically, it might be possible to travel through time, similar to traveling through space. Drawing on Henri Poincaré's theories and Einstein's work on relativity, Foin suggests that if an object could exceed the speed of light, it might enter the fourth dimension, potentially allowing travel into the past or future. He uses the analogy of a person born on a continuously moving train to illustrate how our perception of time might be an illusion. Foin also references a historical account of a World War I biplane appearing during a World War II patrol, suggesting a possible 'space-time contraction.' He concludes that UFOs' ability to disappear instantly could be explained by their entry into another dimension, possibly the future, implying they are from a more advanced civilization.

LA TERRE TREMBLE ... CAUSES ET EFFETS (The Earth Trembles... Causes and Effects)

This section, by Pedro Romaniuk, discusses the magnetic effects influencing Earth's core and poles. It posits that vibrations, particularly those generated by nuclear tests, create magnetic fields that can disrupt the Earth's magnetic core and atmosphere. The author argues that the massive energy released by nuclear explosions generates vast magnetic fields that penetrate all matter, affecting Earth's magnetic poles and atmospheric layers. This, he suggests, leads to an increase in extreme weather phenomena like cyclones, tornadoes, and storms, indicating a 'true atmospheric revolution.' The article also touches upon the idea that these 'expansive waves' can travel beyond Earth's orbit, influencing other planets and returning to Earth, creating a cycle of energy transfer and perturbation.

COURRIER (Letters to the Editor)

This section contains letters from readers:

• Jacques Bonabot comments on the 'Mysteries of the Great Ocean' article, explaining the luminous 'wheels' observed at sea as bioluminescence produced by marine organisms. He also finds a connection between 'unexplained footprints' and the concept of a higher dimension, referencing the article on Flatland.
• Pierre North provides a correction to a previous article and discusses biblical 'flying objects' (chariots of fire, etc.), contrasting their purposeful nature with the seemingly random appearances of modern UFOs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores phenomena that challenge conventional scientific understanding, including antigravity, UFOs, parapsychology, and historical mysteries. There is a clear interest in exploring alternative theories and interpretations of events, often drawing connections between seemingly disparate fields like physics, history, and even ancient texts. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond mainstream scientific consensus, while also maintaining a critical approach by presenting different viewpoints and investigations. The magazine aims to 'search for and highlight precious truths often unknown.'
