This issue of the bulletin "LA LIGNE BLEUE SURVOLEE ?" from the Cercle Vosgien LDLN, based in Epinal, France, focuses on UFO phenomena and their representation in media. The cover features a prominent title and a stylized map filled with repetitive text, hinting at a detailed analysis within.

Editorial

The editorial, signed by G. MUNSCH, reflects on the year 1992, wishing readers joy and success, and encouraging perseverance in the pursuit of knowledge within the challenging field of ufology. It emphasizes that the future is built rather than dreamed and urges the community, specifically mentioning the C.N.E.G.U., to avoid exhaustion and work together. MUNSCH uses a nautical metaphor, comparing the collective effort to navigating a ship, acknowledging potential deviations from the intended course but stressing the importance of staying afloat and moving forward rather than dwelling on past issues or internal conflicts. He concludes with a hopeful message about navigating the 'long voyage' and discovering 'America' even if the intended 'Indes' are not found, likening it to the spirit of Christopher Columbus.

Articles and Content

Les OVNI et la TELE (UFOs and Television)

This section features an introduction by Gilles MUNSCH to a document by Thierry ROCHER of G.E.P.O. This document is a continuation of a previous publication in "L'ANNUAIRE du CIGU" (Issue 4), providing a record of UFO and ET-related information broadcast on French television in 1986. The current compilation extends this work to the year 1987. ROCHER's work is presented as a valuable tool for investigators and sociologists to analyze the potential connections between the 'mental schemas' of witnesses and the cultural pressures they experience. The article highlights the omnipresence of UFO themes in contemporary television and the common association with 'extraterrestrial' connotations. MUNSCH praises the document's precision and richness, calling it a prototype for 'ufological works' that can advance knowledge in the field and contribute to solving the 'impenetrable enigma' of UFOs. He thanks Thierry ROCHER and encourages readers to follow his example for a 'depassionate' yet passionate approach to ufology.

A communiqué clarifies that difficulties encountered by C.I.G.U. prevent the upcoming release of Issue 5 of their 'ANNUAIRE'. Therefore, "La Ligne Bleue Survolée ?" has offered to distribute ROCHER's work. A note specifies that reproduction of the article is authorized only if the author, Thierry ROCHER, is credited.

Relevé des informations à caractère O.V.N.I. et/ou E.T. diffusées sur les chaines télévisées en France en 1987

This extensive list, compiled by Thierry ROCHER, details UFO and ET-related television programs broadcast in France during 1987. It notes an increase in content compared to the previous year, with more illustrations (drawings based on photographs) and a greater number of informers contributing. The list includes programs from both terrestrial and cable channels, acknowledging the growing importance of the latter. ROCHER points out that broadcast times are often theoretical due to frequent delays and program changes, and that re-runs are common. He notes that Canal+ provided precise dates for its broadcasts and that advertising continues to draw inspiration from UFO themes. The compilation includes various fictional programs, such as 'La nuit qui terrifia l'Amérique,' 'Rencontres du 3e type,' and 'Les soleils de l'île de Pâques,' as well as documentaries and series like 'Les Envahisseurs' and 'La 5e dimension.' ROCHER also mentions that some films and programs from 1986 and 1987 were recorded by Vidéovni. He includes a correction regarding the animated series 'Les triplés,' clarifying Raoul Robé's role. The author invites further corrections, errors, or omissions for the 1986 list and requests any information on UFO-related broadcasts prior to 1985 to create a more comprehensive historical catalog. He acknowledges that these lists are likely an incomplete reflection of all UFO-related content viewed by the public.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this issue are undoubtedly UFOs, extraterrestrial encounters, and science fiction narratives as depicted in popular media. The magazine's editorial stance appears to be one of cataloging and presenting these themes as they appear in television and film, providing synopses and context for viewers interested in the genre. There is a clear focus on how these themes are portrayed in French and international productions, with a particular emphasis on films and series that directly involve aliens, flying saucers, or space exploration. The detailed listings suggest an effort to be a comprehensive guide for enthusiasts of the genre during this period.

This issue of the MUFON UFO Journal, dated December 1987, focuses heavily on the alleged cover-up of UFO information by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a subsequent request for an "Executive Order" to compel testimony.

The Executive Order Request

The core of the issue is a letter addressed to President Ronald Reagan, dated September 4, 1987, from an organization called JMP (Justice for Military Personnel). The letter, reprinted and distributed to members of Congress and the press, alleges that the CIA has "made a mockery out of our constitution" by deciding that elected representatives "do not have a need to know" about UFOs. JMP requests the President to issue an Executive Order making it mandatory for all military and government personnel, active and retired, with knowledge of UFOs to testify with total immunity before a special congressional committee. The JMP argues that the CIA cannot object because, officially, "UFO's do not exist." They assert that the UFO cover-up is not in the national security interest and hurts military morale.

The JMP group consists of retired military personnel who were allegedly involved in or affected by the UFO cover-up. They claim that under CIA orders, in the "interest of national security," they participated in intentionally misleading the nation, manipulating the press, courts, and politicians.

Introduction to the Cover-up

The document states that the CIA UFO cover-up is perpetrated against the American people, not potential enemies. It notes that Russia has an entire town dedicated to UFO research. The CIA insists on maintaining the cover-up at all costs, fearing that military effectiveness would be compromised otherwise. They believe military personnel would disobey orders when confronted by UFOs, citing the Vietnam War where pilots refused to fly night missions against UFOs. The CIA allegedly prefers to maintain the cover-up because UFO-related fatal accidents are rare, with the exception of the Vietnam War.

Origins and Capabilities of UFOs

Associates from NSA, NASA, CIA, RAND, and AFOSI are cited as informing JMP that UFOs have various origins, with some representing civilizations thousands of years more advanced than humans. Their motives and operations are described as strange and incomprehensible. The Air Force is considered helpless against UFOs due to their incredible flight performance. The CIA and Pentagon are reportedly bewildered by UFOs' apparent ability to jam electronic equipment and instantaneously disable weapon control systems. The CIA is determined to understand and duplicate UFO propulsion systems, even at the cost of pilot lives sacrificed in UFO chases to obtain "UFO samples."

RAND is mentioned as suggesting the CIA is gambling that a major catastrophe like the July 1952 mass UFO appearance over Washington D.C. will not happen again, thus avoiding the need for "explanations." NORAD and many in the armed forces reportedly oppose the cover-up due to the potential for public panic, referencing the 1952 event. JMP believes too many military personnel have suffered or died due to lack of information and that it's time to reveal the truth to the armed forces, calling it unconscionable to continue using military personnel as "guinea pigs."

Crimes Committed Under CIA Pressure

The document details "crimes" allegedly committed by military and government personnel under CIA pressure over the past forty years. Initially confined to a few individuals, the cover-up now involves thousands. JMP claims this policy breeds resentment as personnel were ordered to act illegally against their comrades and nation. They state that many military and civilian individuals are waiting to testify.

Examples of deceptive activities include:

1. Intentionally ordering pilots to shoot at UFOs to acquire them for research, resulting in pilot and plane destruction or "disappearances." UFO occupants are believed to monitor pilot actions, and some UFOs appear to be remote-controlled.
2. Strictly silencing military pilots who reported UFOs and forbidding them from discussing UFO chases.
3. Interrogating, intimidating, and harassing military personnel (excluding pilots and astronauts) who saw UFOs to "convince" them they hadn't seen anything. This involved threats of long prison sentences, isolation in remote bases, forced institutionalization, jail time, career destruction, and general intimidation to induce self-doubt and silence.
4. Distributing fraudulent information through spokesmen to debunk public UFO sightings.
5. Forcing FAA, NASA, and other government agencies to conform to CIA UFO policies.
6. Violating the Freedom of Information Act by hiding documents.
7. Smearing commercial pilots who reported UFOs and forcing their companies to silence them.
8. Failing to confirm incidents where civilian planes lost control or disappeared in the presence of UFOs.
9. Slandering citizens who reported UFO observations, despite knowing the truth as UFOs were tracked on radar.
10. Silencing Congressmen and Senators who requested UFO information for their constituents, making them complicit in the cover-up.

Manipulation of the Press

The CIA's national UFO debunking campaign, initiated in 1953, involved publishing books and articles to create an atmosphere of ridicule around UFOs, spreading false stories of "contacts" and "hoaxes." This campaign continues, with major civilian UFO research groups being infiltrated to ridicule them or steer them towards "other explanations." The press, fearing ridicule, reportedly accepted "official statements" with "unimaginable credulity." The article highlights the press's failure to question why the CIA refused to provide UFO information to Senator Barry Goldwater, who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, while simultaneously classifying UFO data as "above top secret."

The CIA allegedly "educated" most journalists to abandon journalistic ethics when reporting on UFOs. An example cited is President Carter's request for NASA to research UFOs. Previously, those involved in the cover-up assumed the President was fully informed. However, this incident suggested to them that President Carter might have been kept in the dark by the CIA. NASA's scientific team reportedly concluded the cover-up should end, as the public was aware of astronauts photographing UFOs or being followed by them, and astronauts were forced to lie to the press. The CIA allegedly pressured NASA to issue a statement contradicting their own scientists' conclusions.

Manipulation of the Scientific Community

Projects like "Blue Book" and the "Condon Report," along with numerous scientists, are described as part of the CIA's cover-up. The "Condon Report" is called a "scientific farce" exposed by Professor James E. MacDonald. Despite criticism from competent scientists not affiliated with the CIA, many in the scientific community reportedly still consider the Condon Report an impartial study. This manipulation of public opinion and advanced mind control techniques are described by an Air Force doctor as "Psychiatric Fascism contradictory to any democratic principles."

The article states that with highly sophisticated detection systems, UFOs are frequently detected over bases and missile silos, and have tampered with nuclear missiles. They are photographed in restricted areas and tracked daily across the USA and Canada. The authors believe this senseless cover-up has led to a monumental loss of scientific data, but they were powerless to act because the CIA controls military intelligence agencies and has overwhelming influence over government agencies.

Conclusions

FBI associates reportedly defined the UFO cover-up as the "biggest crime ever perpetrated against our people." The CIA, in the name of "National Security Interest," is accused of flagrantly violating the law.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice offers no protection regarding this cover-up. JMP members feel torn between their military oath of secrecy and their ethical responsibility as citizens. They are dedicated to preventing the UFO cover-up from remaining the status quo. They believe the government owes it to soldiers to tell them who and why they are fighting.

JMP civil responsibility is to speak up for citizens on active military duty. A RAND study suggests the CIA may continue the cover-up under secrecy and ridicule. JMP members have prepared a program to disintegrate the UFO cover-up, with a NSA associate suggesting that public awareness could lead to "civil disobedience acts" that might cause the downfall of the CIA. However, JMP states that the CIA's collapse is not their intention, as it is important for national defense. They aim to preserve the CIA's integrity while ending the "insane CIA's UFO cover-up," which they describe as a "Time-Bomb" gaining momentum and destined to explode.

This letter intentionally omits spectacular events, believing it would be more appropriate for the President to disclose them once informed by the CIA. They regret the anonymity but have no other choice due to the CIA's policy of eliminating insiders. They state they will be the first to testify once an Executive Order is issued and ask for replies via the "MUFON UFO Journal."

Addendum for the Press

An addendum suggests contacting former astronaut Gordon L. Cooper and several UFO research organizations (Just Cause, MUFON, APRO) for verification and eyewitness accounts. It also lists Major Donald E. Keyhoe. Over 6200 copies of the letter were posted to news media worldwide.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes are government secrecy, military involvement in UFO phenomena, the alleged suppression of information by intelligence agencies (primarily the CIA), and the potential implications of extraterrestrial technology and presence. The editorial stance is highly critical of the CIA and the government's handling of UFO information, advocating for transparency and the disclosure of truth to the public and military personnel. The publication appears to align with organizations like JMP and MUFON, supporting their efforts to expose what they perceive as a massive cover-up that has compromised national security and scientific progress.

This issue of "Liberté de l'Est" from November 3, 1991, is primarily in French and focuses on themes of government secrecy, UFOs (referred to as OUNIs), civic responsibility, and educational content using science fiction.

Letter from JMP

The central piece is a letter from a group calling themselves JMP (presumably military members) addressed to the President. They express their ethical dilemma between their military oath of secrecy and their duty as responsible citizens. They argue that the "black-out" on OUNIs is a violation of the law and that citizens have a right to know why and against whom they are being asked to fight. They believe this secrecy is a "ticking time bomb" that could lead to unnecessary loss of life in the military.

JMP states their intention is not to bring down the CIA, which they acknowledge plays a role in national defense, but to preserve the government's image of integrity. They have prepared a program to dismantle the "black-out." A member of the NSA is quoted as saying that public knowledge of the manipulation surrounding OUNIs could lead to civil disobedience on a scale that would dwarf the Boston Tea Party, potentially resulting in the CIA's downfall.

The letter deliberately omits the most spectacular elements of the "black-out," suggesting it would be more appropriate for the President to reveal these facts to the nation after being briefed by the CIA. The authors regret their anonymity, citing the CIA's alleged policy of eliminating those who know too much from the inside. They pledge to testify once a decree-law is issued and ask for a response via "MUFON UFO Journal."

Information for the Press

Following the letter, a "Note pour la presse" provides contact information for those seeking verification and documentation regarding the claims made. A RAND member suggested providing a competent source for information. Gordon L. Cooper, a former astronaut, is recommended, along with several UFO research organizations in the USA: Just Cause, MUFON, APRO, and Major Donald E. Keyhoe. The note also suggests that foreign press can contact organizations in over forty countries. It mentions that over 6,200 copies of the letter were sent worldwide and asks for patience due to the limited financial means of these organizations.

Educational Content: Science Fiction as Pedagogy

The issue includes sections that use science fiction stories as pedagogical tools for teaching French language skills, specifically vocabulary and past tense verb usage. These sections are presented as "supports pédagogiques" (pedagogical supports).

"A science fiction story"

This section presents a story about two astronauts, ADAM and Eve, who land on a planet that resembles Earth. They find no intelligent life and their spaceship malfunctions, leaving them stranded until rescue arrives. The text highlights its use for teaching vocabulary and past tense verbs. It also notes the story's narrative of two beings arriving on a planet similar to ours, with a drawing of ADAM receiving an apple from Eve.

"Visitor from space"

This story, presented as an "information," describes a visitor named Krion from planet Beta IV who lands in Dorset, England, on August 2, 1982. Krion, who is only 1.5 centimeters tall, can speak multiple languages and looks like an Earthman. His spaceship, only 3 centimeters long, is eaten by a cat, along with Krion himself, shortly after landing. The story is used to teach vocabulary and past tense verbs, and the underlying method is described as presenting information in the form of a story that was previously confidential.

"La subordination" (Grammar Lesson)

This section, presented as a lesson for "Le Français au CM1" (likely a French elementary school level), focuses on grammatical subordination. It uses examples related to aliens and spaceships, such as "J'attends l'arrivée des Martiens" and "J'attends que les Martiens arrivent," to illustrate subordinate clauses. The lesson explains the functions of subordinate clauses and how they can act as subjects, direct objects, or circumstantial complements, often relating to time, cause, or condition.

"ou - où ?" (Orthography and Grammar)

Another educational section focuses on the correct usage of "ou" (or) and "où" (where/which). It provides definitions and examples, including sentences about traveling to Mars or Saturn, and a question about where a spaceship landed. This section also uses examples related to aliens and space exploration.

"Graphies de [3]" (Phonetics and Orthography)

This section deals with the phonetic sound [3] and its transcription in French, particularly when represented by the letter 'g' before 'e', 'i', or 'y'. Examples include "genou," "girafe," and "gymnastique." It also includes exercises related to identifying objects in a drawing and finding words with specific sounds.

Other Content

"Pour terminer, voici trois documents un peu différents"

This concluding section introduces three distinct documents: a test from "Journal de Mickey" that touches on the existence of extraterrestrials, and two other leaflets related to the "insolite" (the unusual, superstition, or mysticism). It notes that people can be confronted with the unusual even if they are not initially interested, and that information recall can be triggered by specific circumstances.

Acknowledgements are made to Eric Maillot, Raoul ROBE, and Gilles MUNSCH for their contributions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are government secrecy, particularly concerning UFOs (OUNIs), and the importance of civic responsibility, especially for those in military service. The editorial stance, as expressed through the JMP letter, is one of demanding transparency and challenging official narratives that withhold information from the public. The use of educational materials, such as science fiction stories and grammar lessons, suggests an approach that aims to inform and engage readers on complex topics through accessible means, while also subtly reinforcing the idea of extraterrestrial presence and the need for critical thinking about information.

Title: LE JOURNAL DE MICKEY
Issue: 2026
Date: April 19, 1991

This issue of 'Le Journal de Mickey' offers a mix of engaging content, including a personality test, a quiz on ufology, and a report on celestial observations.

Test: Aimes-tu la vérité? (Do You Like the Truth?)

This section presents a self-assessment test designed to explore the reader's relationship with truth and lies. It consists of 15 questions, each with 'OUI' (Yes) or 'NON' (No) options. Readers are instructed to mark points based on their answers: one point for 'OUI' on questions 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, and one point for 'NON' on questions 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14. The results are categorized into three levels: more than 12 points suggest a strong inclination towards truthfulness, 7 to 11 points indicate a balanced approach, and fewer than 6 points suggest that the reader might struggle with lying. The solutions section provides brief interpretations for each score range, emphasizing the importance of honesty and memory for those who lie.

Ufology Quiz

This quiz, authored by Raoul Robé and dated July 31, 1991, challenges readers' knowledge of ufology history with 10 questions. It covers topics such as the chronological ordering of US study commissions (BLUE BOOK, SIGN, GRUDGE, COLORADO), early private UFO investigation groups (NICAP, CUFOS, OURANOS, APRO), the first ufology review (OURANOS, FLYING SAUCER REVIEW, LDLN, PHENOMENES SPATIAUX), the Canadian UFO commission (WHITE BOOK, MAGNET, JANAP 146), fines related to UFO information dissemination, the first 'terrestrial' UFO constructed in 1959 (APRO, MAGNET, AVRO, AUFO), the first name of Dr. Hynek (John Allen, Jeff Allen, Joseph Allen), the second name of the Condon commission (PROJECT COLORADO, PROJECT GRUDGE, PROJECT UFOS), the French GEPAN and its successor organizations (SERPA, CNAS, PANI, SERAP, SEPRA), and the birth date of CNEGU.

Celestial Surveillance Report

This report details a sky surveillance event held on Saturday, August 10, 1991, at a location called "Les Trois Fours" (The Three Ovens). The event was attended by nine observers, including Christine Zwygart and Robert Fischer. The sky was clear with cool temperatures, and the wind subsided around 3:00 AM. The surveillance period lasted from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM. During this time, the first Perseid meteor was observed at 10:00 PM and the last at 3:35 AM. Two bolides were recorded: the first at 10:20 PM, appearing green with a white trail and emitting a humming sound, and the second at 5:35 AM, described as very long and bright, lasting 7 to 8 seconds, and identified as part of the Perseids. In total, the observers recorded 24 planes, 27 satellites, 55 shooting stars, and 139 Perseids. The report also notes the visit of two curious individuals from a local farm and a photographer from "L'Est Républicain" newspaper.

Unit 4: Question Forms and Superstitions

This section, labeled 'UNIT 4', focuses on question forms and superstitions. A discussion point titled "Is there anybody there?" prompts readers to identify superstitions associated with objects and actions depicted in accompanying illustrations. These include lucky horse shoes, Friday the 13th, crossing fingers, spilt salt, opening an umbrella indoors, and wishing on a wishbone. Readers are asked if these superstitions are common in their own countries and if they can be explained logically. The section also includes a dictionary entry for 'superstition' and prompts reflection on whether superstitions are irrational and if they stem from ignorance or fear.

Cartoon: Nightmare of a Vosgian Ufologist

A humorous cartoon depicts a person sleeping and dreaming of various creatures and objects, including a wolf-like beast ('LA BÊTE'), aliens, a flying saucer, and a spotted animal ('LE DAHUT'). The dreamer's thought bubble contains the exclamation, "OOH! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE FINISHED THIS GOOSEBERRY PIE." The cartoon is signed 'RR 91'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently engages readers with interactive content like personality tests and quizzes, encouraging self-reflection and knowledge testing. There's a clear interest in the unexplained, as evidenced by the ufology quiz and the celestial surveillance report. The inclusion of superstitions also touches upon cultural beliefs and their origins. The editorial stance appears to be one of curiosity and exploration, presenting diverse topics in an accessible format for a younger audience, as suggested by the 'Le Journal de Mickey' title.
