Magazine Overview

Title: OURANOS
Issue: N° 20
Date: October 1977
Publisher: C.E. OURANOS
Country: France
Language: French
Theme: Unexplained Phenomena and Paranormal

Editorial: The Freedom of Choice

The editorial, penned by Pierre DELVAL, reflects on the current era of significant societal change, suggesting humanity faces a choice between passively accepting events or actively reacting to them. A minority is becoming aware of this critical phase, seeking a more harmonious balance between materialism and a broader understanding of existence. Ufology and the paranormal are presented as fields that call for new ways of thinking, offering global perspectives and glimpses into inner possibilities.

DELVAL emphasizes the importance of conscious choice and coordinated action within the field of Ufology and the paranormal. He argues that the time for isolated groups is past, and unity is needed, transcending human barriers and national borders. The phenomenon of UFOs, like parapsychology, is seen as a meeting point for various currents of thought and sciences, potentially explaining the evolution of humanity.

The editorial acknowledges the distinct nature of Ufology (concerning unknown brain capabilities) and Parapsychology (concerning the concept of the infinite), noting their convergence. It posits that the intelligence behind these phenomena may have achieved a balance between the material and spiritual. However, it questions whether human civilization is morally prepared to penetrate the secrets of the universe without respecting life and its governing laws.

The author expresses doubt about humanity's current capacity for mutual understanding, suggesting that many engage with these topics more out of psychological need than genuine inquiry. He cautions against falling into the trap of 'chapels' or exclusive groups within the field.

Despite the challenges and the skepticism from some, DELVAL finds encouragement in the growing support from friends and readers, which sustains OURANOS's mission to inform. He notes that a significant portion of the public and many scientists remain dismissive of paranormal phenomena and UFOs, finding them inconceivable and contrary to known laws.

The editorial concludes by posing a question about the role of those who dedicate themselves to understanding these issues, contrasting them with those who are passively entertained. It suggests that these individuals might be artisans of new times or pioneers of new thought for the 21st century.

Article: Are We Moving Towards Official Recognition of the Existence of Extraterrestrials?

This article by Pierre DELVAL revisits the question of official recognition of UFOs, comparing the situation in 1977 to that of the 1950s. It recalls earlier discussions in OURANOS about the possibility of life on other planets and the implications for UFO reality.

DELVAL cites astronomers like H. GARRIGUE and A. DOLFUS who, in the 1950s, acknowledged the probability of life elsewhere and the potential for different forms of life adapted to various environments. The article then addresses the argument that astronomers had never seen UFOs, refuting it by presenting a list of astronomical observations of unexplained aerial phenomena dating back to the late 19th century and early 20th century.

• Notable observations cited include:
• 1948: Astronomer Clyde TOMBAUGH observed a silent, oval object with imprecise luminescence.
• 1948 onwards: Dr. Lincoln La Paz observed green fireballs that he concluded were not meteors or electrostatic phenomena.
• 1950: Dr. Seymour L. HESS reported observing a bright, disc-shaped object moving at high speed.
• Clear weather observations: Dr. Walter Lee Moore observed UFOs moving towards Venus.
• 1947: An American astronomer observed a circular, elliptical object near Clovis, New Mexico.
• 1882: Walter MAUNDER observed an elliptical luminous shape in Greenwich.
• 1885: An object with wings was seen in Andrinople.
• 1897: A large cigar-shaped object was observed over the Midwest and Virginia.
• Unknown date: A large black object passed in front of the full moon.

The article notes that these observations were reported by figures like Dr. F.B. HARRIS, Lord BRADAZON, and William F. DURNING.

It then discusses the current stance of governments, particularly the US. While acknowledging that the scientific community has evolved, a significant opposition remains. The article highlights President Jimmy Carter's pre-election promise to disclose all UFO documents held by the US Air Force. It also mentions Carter's personal experience of observing a UFO in Georgia in 1969, though this was later clarified as an observation of the planet Venus.

Despite this clarification, the article points to a potential shift with the US government's initiative to send a message to extraterrestrials via the Voyager probe, scheduled for launch in August/September 1977. This message, intended to be carried on a probe photographing Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, includes music and human voices, and reflects a hope for communication and understanding.

A communiqué from the UN Secretary-General, also mentioned, expresses a desire to explore the universe for peace and friendship. However, Major VON KIEVICZKY of I.C.U.F.O.N. expresses concern that these initiatives, particularly the UN's, might be misinterpreted by extraterrestrials as a deceptive tactic, potentially leading to conflict rather than peace.

VON KIEVICZKY advocates for an international authority to control, communicate with, and identify extraterrestrial forces operating in Earth's atmosphere, ensuring global security and scientific progress.

The article also touches upon the failed International UFO Congress in ACAPULCO, Mexico, noting the diverse and sometimes conflicting opinions presented by speakers like Dr. J. Allen Hyneck and Jacques Vallée, suggesting a lack of consensus and a struggle for credibility.

Article: Old Observations

This section details historical UFO sightings, emphasizing that the phenomenon is not new and predates the famous Kenneth Arnold sighting of 1947. It traces sightings back to the late 19th century, particularly a wave of observations in the US between 1896 and 1897.

• Key historical cases presented include:
• 1870: A gigantic disk observed over the French Riviera.
• 1870: An elliptical object seen over London.
• 1871: A large disk over Marseille.
• 1873: Three round objects observed at high altitude over Paris.
• 1873: Flying disks visiting Fort Scott and Bonhad, USA.
• 1875: A strange object moving in spirals between Bordeaux and Paris.
• 1890: Seven large objects sighted in the Dutch East Indies.
• 1897: A cigar-shaped object with wings observed in the American Midwest and Virginia.
• 1897: A similar object sighted over Sisslerville, Virginia, with projectors scanning the ground.
• 1902: A dark, immense object with lights on its sides sank into the water near Fort Salisbury.
• 1908: A flying object above Bridgewater, Massachusetts, emitted ground-directed projectors before ascending vertically.
• 1910: An object observed over Alabama for two days.

The article notes that these phenomena were observed long before the invention of dirigibles, ruling out confusion with known aircraft.

It also mentions sightings from 1934, including an expedition in Tibet observing a scintillating blue-sky disk. The period of World War II saw numerous reports, including 'foo fighters' and other unusual aerial phenomena.

Article: Our Investigations

This section highlights the magazine's commitment to publishing detailed investigation reports on UFO phenomena. It acknowledges the work of its investigators and regional delegates who gather direct, controlled reports.

The magazine publishes these reports to provide valuable information to its readers and to contribute to the scientific study of UFOs. It emphasizes that these phenomena are occurring globally. The section also includes a call for correspondence from readers who witness unusual events, so that immediate investigations can be launched.

Report N° 1: Unusual Observations Above La Roche-Bernard (Morbihan)

This report details observations made by the MOURAND family between July 1975 and February 1977. The sightings involved orange, discoidal, or cigar-shaped objects observed at various times, often disappearing behind the horizon without illuminating it. The objects were described as having comparable size to the moon or being balloon-sized. Some reports mention multiple objects appearing in arcs or descending vertically.

Photographs of these phenomena were taken, some of which are published in the issue. The investigator, Michel DAVID, noted that the objects seemed to disappear over the sea, leading to speculation about military exercises. However, verification with the military confirmed no such exercises occurred during the observed times.

Further details include reports of 'dull humming' sounds heard by the family at night, initially attributed to road traffic but later recognized as different. The children of the family reportedly became nervous and unable to sleep during these sounds.

The investigator concludes that the witnesses lack precise knowledge of UFOs or paranormal phenomena, lending credibility to their reports. The investigation into this series of events is ongoing.

Report N° 2: Curious Ballet of 'Luminous Balls' in Eastern France

This report, investigated by Michel FRUA, describes an observation made in October 1975 near Mont-Saint-Martin. The witness, Philippe ANGELONI, observed a luminous object described as a ball, grey on top and red-orange below, with a brighter orange light beneath it. The object appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly after about ten seconds.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of OURANOS strongly advocates for an open-minded approach to unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs and paranormal events. The editorial stance is one of encouraging positive inquiry and avoiding outright skepticism. The magazine positions itself as a platform for disseminating information and fostering a deeper understanding of these mysteries, emphasizing the need for unity and coordinated research. It highlights the historical context of UFO sightings and presents recent developments, including governmental and international initiatives, while also expressing caution about potential misinterpretations and the need for responsible handling of the subject. The recurring theme is the exploration of the unknown and the human capacity to confront and understand phenomena that challenge conventional scientific paradigms.

This issue of "OURANOS" magazine, dated January 1977 (Issue 20), focuses on unexplained phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and related experiences. It features detailed reports from investigators and witnesses across France and Portugal, alongside theoretical articles exploring the broader implications of these events.

Aumetz (Moselle) Sightings (Rapport N° 3)

This section details a series of observations that occurred in Aumetz during the second half of March 1977. Investigators Michel Frua, Christian Petit, and Jean-Paul Soma documented multiple sightings that intertwined, spanning an entire week. The number of witnesses increased over time, leading to some confusion about exact details. However, meticulous work by the investigators helped establish a timeline:

• March 12, 1977 (Cas n° 1): A witness reported seeing five white lights about one meter above the ground, described as oblong with a semi-spherical top, rotating on themselves without emitting noise. They appeared to rotate around a central axis.
• March 13, 1977 (Cas n° 2): A witness reported a similar observation to the previous day, with no additional details.
• March 14, 1977 (Cas n° 3): Five objects arrived from the direction of Ottange, moving in a rectilinear trajectory. One object in the center was white, while the other four were red. The red objects were spherical and blinked, rotating around the white one.
• March 15, 1977 (Cas n° 4): A witness observed a group of eight objects on or slightly above the ground, resembling headlights. They radiated different colors (yellow, red, or green) and rotated around a central axis. The witness, Mme Brach, observed the phenomenon with binoculars.
• March 16, 1977 (Cas n° 5): Didier Tarter observed four or five yellow-orange objects blinking and rotating above the ground. Simultaneously, another object appeared above a mine, with yellow-orange lights. This object then descended and landed. The witness observed the phenomenon until around 8:15 PM.
• March 17, 1977 (Cas n° 6): The same witness observed two lights moving in a straight line, then zigzagging for about thirty seconds before disappearing.
• March 18, 1977 (Cas n° 7): The witness again observed two unusual lights, following the same trajectory as the objects on March 16.

Local Gendarmerie investigations yielded no official reports. The investigators noted that the witness accounts were complex and sometimes difficult to disentangle.

Mysterious Trace (Aumetz)

Following the Aumetz observations, investigators learned of a circular trace discovered in a meadow. The grass within the trace was flattened, covering an area of approximately 5 meters in diameter. Various tests, including magnetism, metal detection, and analysis of soil and plant samples, were conducted, but no conclusive evidence was found.

Lorient (Morbihan) Sighting (Rapport N° 4)

On December 5, 1976, at 8:45 AM, M. and Mme Georges Laffineur observed two luminous objects over Lorient. The objects were described as disc-shaped, inclined at 45 degrees, and completely immobile. They emitted a brilliant yellow-orange color and had a metallic, smooth appearance, resembling two upside-down plates. Their apparent diameter was comparable to a one-franc coin held at arm's length. One object tilted to a horizontal position, and then both disappeared simultaneously.

Meylan (Isère) Humanoid Encounter (Rapport N° 5)

On December 12, 1976, at 7:20 AM, Julien Hermann, a security guard at the MERLIN-GERIN factory in Meylan, reported seeing a human-like form. The entity was described as 1.65 to 1.70 meters tall, fluorescent green, surrounded by small green lights, and standing in the center of a yellow-orange luminous circle on the ground. The witness noted that the form had legs and arms but no discernible face, possibly wearing a helmet-like structure. The observation lasted about five to seven minutes. The witness's superior and the Gendarmerie were alerted. The report notes discrepancies between the witness's account and the initial Gendarmerie report, particularly regarding the luminous circle and the exact timing of the disappearance.

Mimet (Bouches-du-Rhône) Triangular Object (Rapport N° 6)

On January 21, 1977, at 6:10 PM, Mme Catherine Nageli and her two sons observed a mysterious triangular object, described as a Delta Wing, over Mimet. The object had a bright white light at the front and yellowish lights at the angles. Its underside appeared textured with grooves, and there was a bulge on the lower part. The object descended from a high altitude, stabilized at approximately 1500 meters, and then disappeared eastward behind a pine forest. The witnesses heard no sound. The investigators calculated the object's approximate wingspan to be 60 meters.

La Mure (Isère) Barrel-Shaped Object (Rapport N° 7)

On January 7, 1976, at 3:55 AM, an anonymous witness in La Mure observed a luminous object shaped like a barrel. The object was described as very bright, immobile, and silent, with a diameter of three to four times that of the full moon. It had a clear yellow color with a green tint and appeared to shimmer. The witness felt a tingling sensation in their eyes after a few minutes, and the object then descended vertically and disappeared. The object reportedly had a luminous part and darker, wheel-like asperities underneath.

Pajay (Isère) Luminous Ball (Rapport N° 8)

On January 1, 1977, between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM, Mme veuve Guillon and her son Michel observed a large, luminous red ball in the sky over Pajay. They described it as a "big orange luminous ball, bright red," emitting faint yellow and green rays. Its apparent diameter was compared to a crayon held at arm's length. The object was visible between two trees and was later observed from a distance of 20 to 30 km by another witness. The object was no longer present when the witnesses returned to their original observation point.

Other Sightings (Morbihan and Mazan)

• February 23, 1977: M. Peresse observed a luminous, circular, gold-colored object over Lorient.
• April 7, 1977: Mme Hervy saw a luminous ball, about the size of the moon, with a silvery-white color, low in the sky over Mazan. The object turned blue-mauve before disappearing.
• April 28, 1977: A witness in Lorient-Plage observed a circular, orange object moving slowly from north to south, with pulsating stops. Its diameter was about two-thirds of the lunar diameter, and it emitted luminous flashes.

Lisbon (Portugal) Pilot Sighting (Page 9)

On June 30, 1976, pilots of a "British Airways" Trident and a "Toristar" aircraft observed an unidentified object near Lisbon. The object was described as a "huge cigar" shape, appearing to materialize in the sky. It was followed by a second identical object. The phenomenon was observed for five minutes. The control tower in Lisbon was reportedly agitated, and the objects were also seen by ground observers.

Article: "CES DIEUX VENUS D'AILLEURS" by Christine Dequerlor

This article reviews Christine Dequerlor's book, which explores archaeological discoveries in Peru suggesting ancient contact between humans and extraterrestrial beings. The book presents evidence from thousands of rock carvings depicting beings in flight suits and helmets, interpreted as visitors from space. The author connects these findings to ancient myths and legends from various cultures, suggesting a universal theme of celestial beings interacting with humanity.

Article: "Le problème de la paralysie chez les témoins" by Jean-Luc Jorion

This article, based on a study by DETECTOR SIDIP, examines the phenomenon of paralysis experienced by UFO witnesses. It identifies two types: "voluntary paralysis," which is an immediate effect possibly caused by a portable weapon emitting a focused ray, and "automatic paralysis," a more gradual effect linked to a force field around the craft. The study analyzes the distance at which paralysis occurs, noting a decrease in cases as distance increases, suggesting a correlation with the proximity of the phenomenon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena with ancient history, mythology, and unexplained events. There's a clear editorial stance favoring open-minded investigation and a rejection of purely materialistic explanations. The publication encourages readers to contribute their own observations and information, aiming to broaden the scope of research into topics like UAP, parapsychology, and ancient mysteries. The recurring theme is that the universe is vast and potentially inhabited, and that understanding these phenomena requires a holistic approach, integrating scientific inquiry with historical and cultural perspectives.

This issue of "Paramédical" (Issue 17) features a continuation of an article by B. Klimoff, an engineer from E.N.S.I.G., titled "L'EQUILIBRE PHYSIQUE ET PSYCHIQUE PAR LA DEMAGNETISATION DU SYSTEME NERVEUX" (Physical and Psychic Equilibrium Through Nervous System Demagnetization). The article aims to provide a simple, natural method for individuals to maintain their physical and psychic balance. The magazine also includes a section on "4. Paralysie automatique et distance" (Automatic and Distance Paralysis), which discusses findings suggesting two distinct types of paralysis based on distance from a phenomenon, and a concluding thought on whether this constitutes non-testimonial proof of UFO existence. The publication also promotes "OURANOS," a foundation dedicated to studying UFOs and parapsychology, and advertises its review and related books.

L'EQUILIBRE PHYSIQUE ET PSYCHIQUE PAR LA DEMAGNETISATION DU SYSTEME NERVEUX

This article, by B. Klimoff, is a reprint of a method previously published in issue 17, with a correction for a layout error and an introduced improvement. The method is described as a natural and simple application for maintaining physical and psychic equilibrium. The suggested technique involves:

1. Orientation: Using a good compass, find the corrected East. Daily orientations should be taken from a provided table. A specific point on the Eastern horizon should be identified and marked on the ground from the observer's position.
2. Eye Positioning: Form loops with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands and hold them in front of the eyes like binoculars, touching the face or glasses if necessary.
3. Pressure Application: Gradually press the index fingers against the thumbs for 3-4 seconds, then release the pressure for a similar duration. The pressure should be very light, especially at the beginning and end of the movement, and the fingers should not separate.
4. Movement: Close the eyes and move the finger loops downwards in a translational motion, keeping the face oriented towards the marked point.
5. Observation: Reopen the eyes and continue looking at the corrected East for another 5-6 seconds.

This completes the first "magnetic pass." The operation can be repeated one to two times with 2-3 minute intervals, gradually decreasing the pressure. Depending on the severity of the imbalance, this process may need to be repeated over several days, with recovery expected within hours, days, or weeks.

• Important Notes:
• Demagnetization can be performed indoors or outdoors. It is advisable to avoid practicing in reinforced concrete buildings.
• There are no specific times that are more propitious than others; it can be done day or night.

Precautions:
Proper demagnetization is associated with the restoration of the glandular system. If the individual is taking medication, it may become superfluous, leading to a need to decrease or stop the dosage. For severe cases, medical professionals should be consulted, as excessive medication can cause harm and secondary problems.

4. Paralysie automatique et distance

This section explores the phenomenon of automatic and distance paralysis, drawing parallels with voluntary paralysis. The analysis of paralysis cases based on distance from the phenomenon reveals a peculiar "Bi-gaussian" curve, with peaks at 30 and 150 meters, and a trough at 90 meters. The strength of the paralyzing force appears to vary with external circumstances, such as the landing site of an object and the presence of witnesses.

Conclusions:
The curves for the number of cases per peak in relation to distance are entirely different, suggesting the existence of two distinct types of paralysis, each with its own characteristics. This is presented as a step towards establishing the internal structure of these phenomena.

The author poses the question of whether this constitutes non-testimonial proof of the existence of UFOs, leaving it to the reader to judge based on their own criteria. The next article is promised to delve into the personality of witnesses, types of objects, weapons, and "Ufonautes," as well as a theoretical study on the neurological functioning of paralysis.

Mystérieux phénomènes lumineux dans le ciel du Morbihan

This section presents two photographic documents related to an investigation by M. Michel DAVID. The photographs appear to show luminous points escaping from a main object. These documents are presented as confirmation of witness accounts. The magazine notes that similar photographs were previously published in issue 18 concerning a phenomenon in Portugal and encourages readers to report similar cases.

The foundation is the result of collective effort, driven by volunteers dedicated to research beyond conventional paths.

CES DIEUX VENUS D'AILLEURS

This section reviews the book "CES DIEUX VENUS D'AILLEURS" by Christine Dequerlor, described as an extraordinary discovery. The book reportedly details a sanctuary in Peru where over one hundred thousand drawings on thousands of rocks illustrate the customs, beliefs, and scientific knowledge of ancient Indian tribes who allegedly had contact with beings from elsewhere. These beings are depicted wearing flight suits and transparent helmets, similar to modern cosmonauts. Christine Dequerlor, a professor, is passionate about ancient civilizations, particularly pre-Columbian America. She is a lecturer and a member of various learned societies, having traveled extensively, taken notes, made sketches, and taken photographs. The book is described as a volume of 256 pages (13.5 x 21 cm) with 16 pages of full-page illustrations and numerous in-text drawings, featuring a color illustrated cover. The price is 44.00 F (frankly). The review also mentions another book by the same author, "Les Oiseaux, Messagers des Dieux."

L'INCONNU

This section introduces "L'INCONNU," a review of phenomena and parallel sciences. It poses the question of whether extrasensory abilities, telepathy, premonition, gifted individuals, hypnosis, PSI healers, the afterlife, UFOs, and pendulum powers are the domain of the naive, impostors, or scientists. The review states that it seeks the truth about these extraordinary phenomena. "L'INCONNU" offers reports, testimonials of lived experiences, and aims to go further, without complacency, into the knowledge of the extraordinary, often experienced or contested by individuals. A special subscription offer is presented for readers of "OURANOS," with 12 issues for 60 F instead of 72 F, valid until December 31, 1977. The address for "L'INCONNU" in Paris is provided.
