Cover Story: The Belief in the Extraterrestrial Myth
The cover features a striking illustration of a disc-shaped UFO emitting a beam of light, with the prominent headline "OVNI phénomènes inexpliqués paranormal" (UFO unexplained phenomena paranormal). The main article, "La croyance au mythe extraterrestre" (The belief in the extraterrestrial myth) by Pierre Delval, sets the tone for the issue.
Delval's article begins by acknowledging the widespread belief that UFOs and their occupants are extraterrestrial. He notes a further trend among some 'contactees' who see these beings as saviors who will bring knowledge to humanity. While admitting he once shared this view, Delval expresses a more cautious stance after in-depth study, particularly of close encounters and contactee testimonies. He states that there is no formal scientific proof for the extraterrestrial origin of UFO occupants, despite the logical appearance of such conclusions.
He observes that the topic of UFOs is now widely discussed, even in mainstream media that previously dismissed it. This shift in psychological climate has led to an increased acceptance of a new reality. However, Delval argues that this has also led to the phenomenon being exploited for commercial gain, creating more confusion than clarity. He posits that a new myth is emerging – a cosmic religion centered around immortal, powerful extraterrestrial beings who offer a materialistic evolution, an inversion of values. He expresses concern that 'contactees' may be manipulated by this intelligence, which does not clearly identify itself, raising doubts about its benevolent intentions. Delval describes this as a dangerous masquerade and a grand deception, mixing truth with falsehood.
He concludes that OURANOS's primary mission is nearing completion, as enough facts have been established to support a likely conclusion about the nature of the UFO phenomenon. The magazine aims to clarify the truth amidst a sea of idiocy and mystification that discourages genuine researchers. The approach to studying UFOs and related phenomena must be one of vigilance and prudence, as it is easy to be misled. He questions whether ufology has exhausted its hypotheses and is now stuck in a repetitive cycle.
Articles and Investigations
"Des OVNI et des Hommes" (UFOs and Men) by Christian Elian: This article delves into the historical conflicts of humanity, suggesting they are manifestations of a deep-seated collective unconscious. Elian posits that the human destiny is linked not to a single non-human force, but to the opposition of two antagonistic non-human forces: one aiming for humanity's destruction, the other for the spiritual elevation of an elite. He proposes that humans exist simultaneously in physical, psychic, and spiritual domains, with the latter being transcendent. Elian warns against confusing psychic and spiritual realms and discusses the concept of a natural equilibrium governing cosmic harmony. He explores the idea that life on Earth might be a natural progression or the result of a superior intelligence's action, referencing the biblical narrative of the Fall and its consequences of exile and corruption. The article also examines the etymology of 'rib' in relation to chromosomes, questioning if humanity was originally a 'laboratory product.' Elian suggests that the current antagonism is a continuation of a primordial Tradition and that humanity's current state of isolation and self-destruction is a sign of its vulnerability.
- "OVNI et Séismes" (UFOs and Earthquakes) by Fina d'ARMADA: This piece explores the historical correlation between sightings of flying objects in the sky and seismic events. The author cites biblical descriptions of flying machines and the prophet Elijah's ascent in a whirlwind. The first historical account of a UFO causing an earthquake is linked to the book of Kings. The article details several historical instances:
- Galicia, Spain (April 4, 451): Frequent earthquakes, blood-red skies, unusual lightning, and a 'rain of blood' were reported.
- Algiers, Algeria (March 10, 1673): A fiery dragon or serpent was seen in the sky, followed by a violent earthquake that caused widespread destruction.
- Dalmatia (February 1716): A sea monster-like figure appeared, followed by fiery signs and earthquakes.
- Lisbon, Portugal (January 28, 1551): A severe earthquake occurred alongside a blood-red sky and unusual lightning.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue of OURANOS revolve around the mystery of UFOs, their potential connection to seismic and celestial phenomena, and the broader implications for humanity's spiritual and evolutionary path. The magazine adopts a critical and investigative stance, urging readers towards vigilance and prudence when examining claims of contact and extraterrestrial hypotheses. There is a clear concern about manipulation, both commercial and spiritual, and a desire to present a more grounded, yet open-minded, perspective on these complex subjects. The editorial stance emphasizes the importance of seeking truth amidst confusion and highlights the magazine's long-standing commitment to exploring these frontiers of knowledge.
The issue also touches upon the idea of cyclical historical patterns, cosmic conflicts, and the potential for a spiritual 'inversion' or 'counter-initiation.' It seems to position itself as a guide for those seeking to understand these phenomena beyond simplistic explanations, encouraging a deeper, more critical engagement with the subject matter. The magazine's commitment to its mission, even after 27 years, is underscored, emphasizing its dedication to truth and honesty outside of profit-driven motives.
This issue of OURANOS, titled "Apparitions mariales au Moyen Age" and featuring a cover headline about "ovni et séïsme au Mexique" (UFOs and earthquakes in Mexico), delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena, historical accounts, and religious interpretations. The magazine explores potential connections between UFO sightings, seismic events, and religious apparitions, drawing from historical records and contemporary investigations.
Historical Accounts of Phenomena
The issue begins with historical accounts of unusual events. A report from Besançon, Switzerland, dated February 28, 1731, describes a severe storm in 1551 in Lisbon, Portugal, involving a 'rain of blood,' thunder, lightning, and the sighting of a fiery, monster-like phenomenon. This event was followed by a cold snap with heavy snowfall. Another report from Florence, Italy, dated December 19, 1731, details a slight earthquake and the observation of a luminous cloud moving across the sky.
UFO and Earthquake Correlation in Mexico
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an incident in Los Buses, Acapulco, Mexico, on March 10, 1979. A local earthquake caused damage and minor injuries, but concurrently, about twenty UFOs were observed in tight formation at an altitude of 700-1000 meters. These objects were described as ovular, emitting a yellowish light, and appearing to be connected like train cars. Notably, this information was not published in the Mexican press, as local authorities feared it would harm the reputation of the tourist resort.
Mysterious Lights and Fish Deaths in France
The issue also reports on an investigation by the C.E. OURANOS into mysterious phenomena in the Ain department of France. On the night of March 11-12, 1979, a witness in Saint Marcel en Dombes reported hearing a loud buzzing sound and seeing a brilliant violet light. Hundreds of fireballs were observed falling into a fish pond, leading to the death of numerous silure fish. Subsequent investigations, including autopsies, revealed hemorrhages in the fish, suggesting a possible link to an infection or an unexplained event. Another witness in the same locality reported a power outage and a bright light similar to arc welding emanating from the direction of the fish ponds.
A separate observation from March 11, 1979, in Saint Marcel en Dombes, involved a witness observing a large, intense white light followed by the appearance of a luminous, turquoise-blue sphere. The report also mentions numerous UFO observations in the region during December 1978 and February-March 1979.
Religious Apparitions and Prophecy
The magazine explores the theme of "Apparitions mariales au Moyen Age" (Marian apparitions in the Middle Ages), noting that these events, like UFO sightings, are repetitive and mysterious. It highlights instances of apparitions requesting the construction of places of worship, citing examples from Belgium, France, and Mexico dating back to the 9th century. The article draws parallels between these apparitions and UFO phenomena, suggesting they are manifestations from an unknown entity.
Furthermore, the magazine delves into biblical prophecies, particularly from the Book of Revelation, discussing the concept of an 'Image' that animates and speaks, delivering messages that can lead to seduction through prodigies and miracles. It references apparitions at La Salette (1846) and Fatima (1917), as well as other sites, and interprets these as part of a plan to establish a global religion. The text suggests that the 'Image' has shifted from an imploring tone to one of menace since 1976, coinciding with significant global events like earthquakes and cataclysms.
The issue also touches upon the idea of a 'messiah' figure announced by the 'Image,' linking this to prophecies about false Christs and false prophets who will perform great signs and miracles. It quotes passages from the Gospels of Luke, Matthew, and Mark concerning the signs of the end times and the return of the Son of Man.
Memorandum by Major Colman Vonkeviczky
A significant section is dedicated to a "Memorandum" by Major Colman S. Vonkeviczky, addressed to the United Nations. This document is presented as a comprehensive report providing irrefutable evidence of UFOs around Earth, military engagement with them, and the existence of official documents supporting these claims. The memorandum reportedly analyzes UFO formations, their maneuvers, and trajectories, citing documents from the USAF and NASA. It aims to alert governments to the potential danger posed by UFOs and advocates for the establishment of a UN committee to study the phenomenon.
Communiqué and Editorial Stance
The magazine includes a communiqué offering free copies of previous issues to support the diffusion of their publication. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical investigation into unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, seismic events, and religious claims, often framing them within a context of spiritual warfare and prophecy. The authors express a desire to shed light on these matters and counter what they perceive as attempts to mislead the public.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
Recurring themes in this issue include the potential interconnectedness of UFO sightings, earthquakes, and religious apparitions. The magazine adopts a critical and investigative approach, presenting historical accounts and contemporary reports. There is a clear undercurrent of interpreting these phenomena through a lens of prophecy and spiritual significance, particularly referencing the Book of Revelation. The editorial stance seems to be one of seeking truth amidst what is perceived as widespread deception and a need to awaken humanity to potential dangers, whether extraterrestrial or spiritual in nature. The emphasis on historical evidence, witness testimonies, and official documents underscores a commitment to substantiating their claims, even when dealing with controversial subjects.
This issue of 'Activités des comités «ouranos» - Conférences' focuses on the establishment and activities of the C.E. OURANOS committee in Quebec, Canada, and presents detailed reports of UFO sightings.
The C.E. OURANOS Committee in Quebec, Canada
The article details the formation of the C.E. OURANOS committee in Quebec, Canada, which began with a small number of readers and was primarily maintained through relations with Claude Mac Duff. A chance encounter between René Devailly from Quebec and the Secretary General of OURANOS led to the project of establishing a "Comité Québec de la C.E. OURANOS". Despite significant difficulties, René Devailly's efforts were successful. The committee now comprises about ten investigators coordinated by M. Bordillon, along with several correspondents and members. The article encourages Quebecois readers interested in joining to contact René Devailly, highlighting the vast distances in Quebec as a challenge for establishing an investigator network.
UFO Sightings: OVNI Observed
Observation 1: St-Savournin, France (December 3-4, 1978)
This section details an observation made by Joël Centaro, a 17-year-old restaurant employee, on the night of December 3-4, 1978, around midnight, near St-Savournin, France. While returning home on his moped, Centaro noticed unusual yellow-orange lights emanating from the St-Savournin football stadium. Upon closer inspection, he realized the stadium lights were off. He approached the stadium and observed a luminous, circular object about 25 meters above the ground. The object had features resembling rectangular windows and antennas on its periphery. A large luminous circle underneath projected a faint beam of light onto the stadium field. Centaro noted the object was rotating and made no sound. The object was estimated to be about twenty meters in diameter and hovered at approximately 25-30 meters above the ground. The witness described it as relatively flat, with an estimated thickness of just over a meter. He observed it for nearly two minutes without fear but felt his state was not habitual. He then went to inform his parents.
Observation 1 - Part 2: Family Observation
As Centaro's family was on their way to check on him, they also saw the object moving slowly towards the village of Cadolive, where it remained stationary for about fifteen minutes. Later, his parents observed the object moving towards the Ste-Victoire mountain range. The following morning, several people reported television image disruptions during the time of the observation. The investigators noted that the young witness experienced no secondary effects and that his moped had no mechanical issues. The witness had no prior knowledge of UFOs.
Observation 2: St-Savournin, France (December 3, 1978)
This part details an observation by Raymond Molinas, a 38-year-old police officer, on the night of December 3, 1978, around 11:45 PM. Molinas and his family were watching television, which had been experiencing interference. His nephew (Joël Centaro) arrived, reporting a luminous object above the stadium. Molinas and his family went outside and observed a sort of luminous ball with a yellow-orange luminous crown around it, moving slowly towards the Ste-Victoire mountain range. It then returned to a stationary position above the village. At times, it moved as if searching for something before becoming still again. They observed it for another half hour. During the observation, their dog barked incessantly. The sky was cloudy with a light drizzle. The object resembled a luminous sphere with a bright orange-yellow crown, appearing to be about 2-3 kilometers away and at an angle of 20-25 degrees above the horizon, with an apparent diameter similar to the full moon. The investigators noted the dog's barking, the television interference, and the temporal correlation with Centaro's sighting. They also noted that as a police officer, Molinas's sincerity was likely unquestionable.
Observation 2 - Part 3: Young Witness Testimony
Raymond Molinas's 10-year-old son also reported hearing a motor noise around 11 PM, initially thinking it was his uncle. Upon checking, they saw a ball moving towards Cadolive, with only a yellow luminous ring visible. The object emitted a low engine-like noise, described as a round shape with luminous and orange lights rotating. It moved about 20 degrees above the horizon before disappearing towards Cadolive. The sky was very cloudy with light rain.
Observation 3: Cadolive, France (February 25, 1979)
This section reports another observation by Raymond Molinas and his son on February 25, 1979, around 10 PM. While waiting for Joël Centaro, they heard a motor noise. They went outside and saw a luminous ball moving towards Cadolive, with a yellow-orange luminous crown. The object was described as a luminous sphere with a bright orange-yellow crown, appearing to be 2-3 kilometers away and at an angle of 20-25 degrees above the horizon, with an apparent diameter of the full moon. The object was observed to be moving slowly and silently.
Dossier Photos: Lenticular Cloud
This section explains what a lenticular cloud (Alto Cumulus Lenticularis) is and how it forms. It describes them as clouds that form due to a "Foehn" effect, remaining stationary for long periods despite wind. They form at the "culminating points" of vertical air undulations. On the windward side ("ascendance"), water vapor condenses, while on the leeward side ("sous le vent"), the air is warmer, causing evaporation. The article notes that lenticular clouds often resemble the classic shape of a UFO, leading to their frequent misidentification as such in photographs, such as those from Holloman, New Mexico.
Discussion: The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
This part of the magazine delves into the debate surrounding the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (H.E.T.) in ufology. It notes a perceived crisis in French ufology, with a growing acceptance of parapsychological and sociopsychological theories in Anglo-Saxon countries. The article critiques the H.E.T., stating that after over 30 years of research, there is still no certainty about the identity of UFO phenomena. It questions the biological and biochemical consistency of extraterrestrial life as presented in some theories, suggesting that life in the cosmos, while potentially diverse, should follow similar fundamental principles. The author argues that while astrophysics suggests the existence of numerous exoplanets, the leap to intelligent extraterrestrial life capable of interstellar travel and advanced technology is speculative. The article also discusses Pierre Guérin's interpretation of the Bible, which suggests that "Yahweh" was an extraterrestrial being, a view the author finds blasphemous and lacking evidence. The text contrasts the spiritual nature of God with the materialist "cosmic" atheism proposed by some H.E.T. proponents. It further explores the idea of humans being created by extraterrestrials, questioning the lack of extraordinary abilities in humans compared to their supposed creators. The article concludes by highlighting the disturbing aspects of the UFO phenomenon, including the possibility of Earth being a "zoo" for extraterrestrials and the influence of E.T.s on human consciousness, suggesting a lack of aggression from these beings is questionable given their potential actions.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena, witness testimonies, and the scientific and philosophical implications of the extraterrestrial hypothesis. There's a clear emphasis on detailed case studies and critical analysis of theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting evidence and arguments from various perspectives, while also expressing skepticism towards unsubstantiated claims and highlighting the need for rigorous scientific investigation. The discussion on lenticular clouds indicates an effort to provide rational explanations for some UFO sightings. The critique of the H.E.T. and its proponents suggests a cautious approach to accepting extraordinary claims without sufficient proof.
This issue of OURANOS, a French publication focused on ufology and related phenomena, is a special "hors-série" (special issue) dated June 1979. It presents a compilation of international UFO reports and delves into the broader implications of these events. The magazine's core mission is to inform the public about unidentified celestial manifestations and the crucial questions they raise, operating on a subscription-only basis.
Editorial Stance
The editorial, written by Pierre Delval, posits that humanity is on the cusp of significant spiritual and cosmic events, marked by the emergence of latent psychic powers in the new generation. It suggests that the influence of occult psychic forces has been growing since the end of the 20th century, accelerating and subverting various aspects of life. However, the editorial expresses doubt about the notion of a utopian 'Age of Aquarius' brought about by extraterrestrial beings, suggesting that the future spiritual evolution of humanity might stem from a 'superhuman' origin resulting from psychic mutation rather than an Eden conditioned by aliens. It warns against confusing the concept of extraterrestrial contact with the arrival of a spiritual Aquarius era, emphasizing that humanity faces a choice regarding its destiny, influenced by the penetration of the occult into our world.
Key Articles and Reports
"OVNI DANS L'EST DE LA FRANCE" (UFOs in Eastern France)
This section details a significant UFO observation that occurred on April 2, 1979, at 8:50 PM, in the vicinity of Beaucourt, France. The event, investigated by Jean-Pierre Bresch, involved approximately 150 witnesses and was also observed by the local gendarmerie. The phenomenon lasted for 45 minutes. The primary witness, R. Pétricig, a firefighter, described seeing a bright light that moved slowly at an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground, at a distance of 700-800 meters. The object, initially perceived as a light, was later described as a flat, elongated object with a clear yellow center and a whitish halo. It exhibited progressive luminosity changes and maneuvers, including a curve over Dampierre Les Bois and a return towards the observers. During its trajectory, the object lost its luminosity, revealing red lights, and then regained a strong white luminosity, prompting a photograph to be taken. The object eventually moved towards Germany. The report notes that two military aircraft were observed in the area, and the object accelerated and disappeared upon their approach.
