Type: Bi-monthly publication of SOS OVNI, a non-profit association dedicated to studying UFO phenomena without dogma or sensationalism.

Editorial: Where Reality Surpasses Fiction

The editorial, titled "Où la réalité dépasse la fiction...", posits that the UFO phenomenon is increasingly intertwined with reality, marking an exciting period where the origins and nature of these events remain undefined. It contrasts the early days of ufology in the 1950s and 60s, where UFOs were relegated to science fiction tropes, with the present day. The editorial highlights how ufology has begun to shape Western societies, citing the film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' as a turning point where culture and ufology merged. It notes the increasing mainstream attention given to UFO topics, such as reports on Roswell in major publications, and the influence of series like 'The X-Files'. The piece concludes by suggesting that we may be entering an era of 'homo-ufologicus', a new consciousness shaped by extraterrestrial awareness, marking an exciting and potentially transformative epoch.

Featured Articles and Reports

Brazil: A Wave of UFOs Around Sao Paulo

This section highlights a wave of UFO sightings around Sao Paulo, Brazil, with a specific mention of a luminous ball photographed on April 20, 1991. The cover also features an inset image related to artifacts presented by Eric von Däniken as extraterrestrial inspiration, though the text suggests they might be indigenous craftsmanship.

Portugal: The Mystery Remains

This article focuses on a significant UFO case photographed in Alfena, Portugal, on September 10, 1990. The object, described by witnesses as circular with appendages resembling 'legs', was observed for about 50 minutes and photographed by local industrial photographer Manuel Gomes. The National Commission for UFO Investigation (CNIFO) was informed and launched an inquiry.

The Alfena Case: A Particular Case

• Witnesses and Initial Observations: The sighting began around 8:30 AM with children noticing an object moving in the sky. Adult witnesses, including baker José António and housewife Celestina Almeida, described the object as metallic, with 'legs' or 'appendices', and reflecting sunlight. David Silva, a football field groundskeeper, compared it to old iron pots and noted its stillness before it moved at airplane-like speed.
• Photographic Evidence: Manuel Gomes, the key witness and photographer, described the object as moving slowly, like a flying disc, reflecting sunlight intensely. He managed to take four photographs as the object moved away.
• Official Investigations: The CNIFO contacted the Portuguese Air Force (FAP) and the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics. Both concluded that no military activity or meteorological phenomenon could explain the sighting. Radar stations did not report any unidentified objects.
• Expert Analysis: Richard F. Haines, a NASA consultant specializing in perception psychology, analyzed the photos, praising their quality and concluding that the object was likely made of rigid material, ruling out a simple balloon. Jeff Sainio from MUFON also analyzed the photos, noting changes in the object's apparent size and background, further supporting the idea that it was not a conventional object.
• Further Technical Analysis: The CNIFO sought opinions from the National Institute of Engineering and Industrial Technology (INETI) and the Service for the Expertise of Atmospheric Entry Phenomena in Toulouse. INETI's analysis, entrusted to engineer Bento Correia, examined the object's characteristics, including its shape, color, and movement, and concluded that it was unlikely to be a balloon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO phenomena with a focus on detailed investigation and analysis, seeking to move beyond sensationalism and dogma. The editorial stance emphasizes the growing impact of ufology on society and culture, viewing the current era as one of profound change and potentially new understandings of our place in the universe. The articles prioritize witness testimony, photographic and physical evidence, and scientific or technical analysis, as seen in the extensive coverage of the Alfena case. The magazine aims to present a balanced perspective, acknowledging the mystery while rigorously examining the available data.

Phénomèna, Issue 10, published March-April 1995, is a French-language magazine focused on UFO phenomena and related mysteries. This issue features a cover story on the "Ummo Affair," investigations into UFO sightings in Brazil, and a critical look at the claims of author Eric von Däniken.

The Ummo Affair: Extraterrestrials from the Cold

The magazine details the "Ummo Affair," which began in Spain in 1968 with mysterious letters received by individuals, purportedly from extraterrestrials from the planet Ummo. These messages were described as cold, precise, and scientific, unlike typical 'alien contact' stories. The affair gained wider attention in France in 1991 due to the popularity of scientist Jean-Pierre Petit's book. The article highlights an investigation by Renaud Marhic, who sought to identify the "Ummo agents" on Earth. The issue also includes texts from the early days of the Ummo phenomenon on Earth (1967) and a letter concerning the Gulf War (1991).

Project 1947: Investigating the 1947 UFO Wave

This section introduces "Project 1947," a two-and-a-half-year research effort dedicated to understanding the 1947 UFO wave. The project's objectives include examining 2,000 world newspapers, searching ufological reports in libraries and archives in the USA and Canada, and collecting firsthand testimonies. The definitive report is planned for the 50th anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold sighting. The project also aims to research UFO-related events from 1900 to 1946, with a particular focus on the World War II Aircraft Warning Service archives and the Ground Observer Corps (1951-1957). Readers are invited to contribute by sending press clippings, letters, official documents, or any leads. Contributors will receive the "Ufological References List." The project is partially funded by the Mutual UFO Network, the Center for UFO Studies, and the Fund for UFO Research.

Observations in Brazil

This article, authored by Perry Petrakis and based on information from Edison Boaventura Jr. of the Grupo Ufologico de Guarujá (GUG), details a wave of luminous sphere sightings in Brazil, primarily in and around the state of São Paulo, starting in 1989. Local newspapers reported mysterious lights, and witnesses described objects of varying sizes and colors. The article mentions specific cases, including one involving Mme Irene Weler de Holanda and another by Francisco Jose Leandro. It also recounts the experience of Mme Antônia Pedroso and M. Joao Diaz Muniz, who witnessed luminous objects and a fireball, respectively. The GUG conducted expeditions to investigate these phenomena, analyzing samples and attempting photographic documentation. Despite expert analysis of collected samples revealing a high phosphorus content in the soil, the origin of the lights remained unexplained. The article notes that observations continued and that similar mysteries persist in other countries like Norway and Belgium.

Bloc-notes (News Briefs)

This section contains several short news items:

• UFO Magazine and the Roswell Autopsy Film: Reports suggest that over a hundred minutes of film, allegedly showing the autopsy of an extraterrestrial by military personnel, might be released. The film is reportedly from 1947 and was possibly filmed by a US Air Force cameraman. Businessman Ray Santilli is said to possess the film, which consists of several seven-minute reels. Some researchers have viewed parts of it and described it, but its authenticity remains unconfirmed, with the possibility of a hoax not being ruled out.
• The "Ummo" Game: The company Gametek is launching a new computer game based on UFOs and parapsychology called "Bureau 13."
• Roswell Witness: A Skeptics UFO Newsletter report mentions that Sergeant Melvin E. Brown, stationed at Roswell in July 1947, allegedly witnessed extraterrestrial corpses. However, Philip Klass, the editor, suggests Brown was a cook and might have been involved in preparing food rather than recovering bodies.
• Erling Strand's Hessdalen Project: Progress is reported on Erling Strand's project in Norway to establish an automatic detection station for luminous anomalies in the Hessdalen valley. A team of engineers has developed equipment to detect abnormal electromagnetic signals. The project aims to replace expensive spectrum analyzers and is seeking international funding.
• French UFO Debate on TLT: A televised debate on the French channel TLT featured Jean-Jacques Velasco of SEPRA, Albert Legendre of CNES, and others discussing UFOs. Velasco admitted that some cases remain unexplained.
• US Rocket Entry: Information suggests a US Altaïr rocket (1965-038B) entered the atmosphere on January 1, 1995, at 19:25, though this does not explain other reported sightings.
• New Books by Jean-Pierre Petit: Two upcoming books by Jean-Pierre Petit are announced: "Les Fils du Diable" and a French translation of John Mack's "Abduction."
• Gué-d'Hossus Investigation: SEPRA, through Jean-Jacques Velasco, has ruled out a fungal cause for phenomena reported in Gué-d'Hossus, France.

Testimony: Däniken's "Ali Baba Caves"

This lengthy article by Frediano Manzi critically examines the claims made by author Eric von Däniken regarding ancient extraterrestrial treasures found in caves in Ecuador. Manzi recounts his investigation, which began after reading Däniken's book "Aussat und Cosmos." Däniken claimed to have seen tunnels containing gold artifacts left by extraterrestrials. Manzi contacted Däniken, who advised him to search in Ecuador. Manzi interviewed various individuals, including Père Botta (a Salesian priest), archaeologist Osvaldo Quintana, and Patricio Moncayo, who all expressed skepticism about Däniken's claims, suggesting the artifacts were either imaginary or fabricated.

Manzi traveled to Ecuador and, with the help of a guide, reached the "Cueva de los Tajos." He found the cave walls to be rough and angular, contrary to Däniken's description of polished surfaces. He discovered that artifacts attributed to Père Crespi, a missionary who had assisted the local population, were acquired by the Banco Central museum and later identified as fake aluminum pieces. Manzi also spoke with Père Luis Flores, who strongly refuted Däniken's assertions, stating that Père Crespi's "treasures" were actually locally crafted items and that Däniken's claims were a form of manipulation. Manzi concludes by questioning the veracity of Däniken's discoveries and challenges him to publicly apologize.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained aerial phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and ancient astronaut theories. There is a clear investigative and often skeptical approach, particularly evident in the debunking of Eric von Däniken's claims and the critical examination of evidence. The publication also emphasizes reader participation through letters and contributions, fostering a community of interest in these subjects. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, seeking verifiable evidence while acknowledging the persistent mysteries within ufology.

Phénomèna, issue n° 27, dated March-April 1995, is a French magazine dedicated to exploring UFO phenomena, paranormal events, and related mysteries. This issue features a prominent section on 'SOS OVNI,' an association involved in monitoring and investigating UFO cases, and includes an interview with Christian Morgenthaler, who leads the SOS OVNI Est delegation. A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the case of Jean Miguères, a French contactee who was assassinated in 1992, detailing the trial and the unusual circumstances that brought his extraterrestrial claims into the courtroom. The issue also covers recent UFO sightings from around the world, including France, China, and Mexico, and provides a 'Review of the Press' section highlighting relevant articles from other publications.

SOS OVNI: A Network of Vigilance

The magazine introduces SOS OVNI as a network comprising volunteers dedicated to the study of UFOs. It highlights the association's structure, which includes regional representations across France and even in Quebec. SOS OVNI offers its members a range of analytical tools, including radar verification, laboratory analysis, meteorological and astronomical data, and access to various documents and publications. The 'Questions à...' (Questions to...) column aims to showcase these regional teams, with this issue featuring SOS OVNI Est, animated by Christian Morgenthaler.

Morgenthaler explains his motivation for joining SOS OVNI, stemming from his involvement with the 'Lumières dans la Nuit' (LDLN) review. He emphasizes the international dimension, logistical support from Phénomèna, and access to real-time information as key benefits of the SOS OVNI structure for regional branches. He also mentions significant work done by SOS OVNI Est, including cataloging approximately 800 cases in the region, research into reported observations, and collaborations with astronomy associations like Némésis and Artémis.

SOS OVNI Est is described as having three active members, sometimes facing challenges in covering the entire region but striving to maintain a presence. Notable cases investigated include an old crash in Salm (1892), the Obenheim case (1988), the Beux case (1994), and a recent case in Metz involving a photograph, which is still under investigation.

Morgenthaler expresses hopes for SOS OVNI's future development, seeking new active members to expand their coverage and potentially extend their reach beyond French borders. He defines the 'spirit' of SOS OVNI as rigor, seriousness in reporting facts without interpretation, open-mindedness, international cooperation, and dynamism.

Media Engagements and Research Activities

The magazine notes that SOS OVNI has been highly solicited by the media, participating in productions for TMC, France 2, TF1, France 3, BBC, and RTL. They also provided assistance to the magazine 'Joystick.'

In terms of research, SOS OVNI has been involved in analyzing a film from Normandy, coordinating the investigation of the Metz photo case, following the 'Jean Miguères trial,' interviewing John Mack, and investigating the 'Ordre du Temple Solaire.' The establishment of 'SOS OVNI Belgique' is also mentioned.

Vague d'OVNI sur la Belgique (UFO Wave Over Belgium)

This section promotes a book titled 'Vague d'OVNI sur la Belgique - Tome I,' published by the Société Belge d'Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux (SOBEPS). The book, over 500 pages long with color photos, details a significant wave of UFO sightings in Belgium. It is presented as a fascinating research and a comprehensive overview of thousands of testimonies, to be complemented by Tome II.

UFO Sightings in France and Around the World

France

• Rhône: On January 31, 1995, a couple in Denicé observed a very bright, large phenomenon that moved rapidly and disappeared. SOS OVNI Rhône initiated an investigation.
• Gard: On February 15, 1995, a luminous oval was seen near Salindres, accelerating rapidly and disappearing in seconds.
• Creuse: On March 6, 1995, 'La Montagne' reported that residents of Bourganeuf and surrounding areas were terrified by a large, luminous, cloudy object that hovered and moved erratically. The phenomenon was identified as a 'Sky Tracker,' likely a light show installed on discotheque roofs.

China

• Guizhou Province: On March 14, 1995, an Agence France Presse report cited the 'Nanfang Daily' about a Boeing 737 narrowly avoiding a collision with an unidentified phenomenon above Guizhou airport. The object, initially diamond-shaped, turned circular and changed color from yellow to red before disappearing. The control tower confirmed no other known aircraft were in the vicinity.

Mexico

• Nayarit: On March 22, 1995, over 300 people in Ahuacatlan witnessed four unidentified flying objects hovering for several minutes. Three of the objects then disappeared at high speed, followed by the fourth.

1992 - 1995: The End of Contact!

This section details the assassination of Jean Miguères, a prominent French contactee who claimed to have contact with extraterrestrials from Proxima. Miguères was shot and killed in Lyon on July 28, 1992, by his father-in-law, Roger Dorysse. The trial, held in January 1995, brought Miguères's claims of contact and his belief in extraterrestrial entities like 'Strôb' into the public domain. The prosecution even referred to Miguères being 'regenerated and resized by an extraterrestrial being.' The court heard testimony about Miguères's activities as a healer and his belief in his unique connection to extraterrestrials.

A notable detail from the autopsy revealed by a forensic medicine professor was the presence of six bullet wounds, with two bullets seemingly having no entry points, leading to speculation about 'magic bullets.'

The defense strategy focused on Miguères's complex personality and his claims of extraterrestrial contact, suggesting a possible fusion between the contactee and the entity Strôb. The prosecution requested seven years of imprisonment, but the jury ultimately convicted Roger Dorysse of six years for premeditated murder.

The article also touches upon Miguères's past, including a 1977 short film made by FR3 Lyon about his life and claims, and his involvement in the 'Ordre du Temple Solaire' (OTS).

The Jean Miguères Affair: The Beginning in 1969

The narrative traces the origin of the Jean Miguères affair to a severe road accident in August 1969. Miguères, then an ambulance driver, was involved in a high-speed collision near Saint-Etienne-de-Rouvray. He claimed to have been declared dead three times and that the accident was tele-guided by extraterrestrials via a UFO. He reported seeing a hovering craft and an humanoid entity appearing beside him after the crash.

While few in the ufological community fully believed his account due to a lack of material evidence, Miguères consistently maintained his testimony. He became known as the 'cobaye des extraterrestres' (guinea pig of the extraterrestrials) and sought public recognition through numerous interviews and conferences. He authored three books on the subject.

Review of the Press

This section reviews various publications related to UFOs and the paranormal:

• France: 'Génération Séries' (issue 12, Winter 1995) is highlighted for its dossier on 'Chapeau Melon et Bottes de Cuir' and its feature on the series 'Aux Frontières du Réel,' which explores the strange and UFOs. The review notes that 'Aux Frontières du Réel' is a fictional series inspired by contemporary themes.
• USA: 'Popular Mechanics' (January 1995) is praised for its cover story, 'Flying Saucers Are Real!', which discusses classified US military research programs developing secret 'UFOs.' The article speculates that if research had continued from the 1950s and 60s, advanced saucer-like craft might have emerged from Groom Lake.
• France: 'Science et Magie' (Special Issue n° 10, 1995) titled 'Les extraterrestres sont-ils parmi nous?' is critiqued for not advancing the discussion on extraterrestrials, focusing instead on widespread disinformation. The review notes the magazine's apparent omission of SOS OVNI.

The section also lists other magazines and newsletters, including 'UFO Magazine,' 'The New Ufologist,' 'Contact OVNI,' 'International UFO Reporter,' 'The Crop Watcher,' 'Magonia,' and 'Skeptics UFO Newsletter,' providing brief details about their content or recent news.

Manifestations to Come

A calendar of upcoming UFO-related events is provided, including conventions in the UK and USA, and sky observation nights organized by SOS OVNI and other associations in France.

Reviews (Lecturas)

• 'Vie et mort de l'Ordre du Temple Solaire' by Raphaël Aubert and Carl-A. Keller: This book is analyzed for its examination of the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS), which is described as having used extraterrestrial themes to manipulate followers. While the book aims for a Christian perspective, Keller's interpretation of the OTS's philosophy as respectable and its communications with entities from Proxima as potentially legitimate is questioned.
• 'La vérité sur l'Ordre du Temple Solaire' by René de Vailly: This book is presented as a parallel work to Aubert and Keller's, offering commentary based on press clippings and agency dispatches rather than original investigation.
• 'Inception' by W.A. Harbinson: This is the first of a planned four-novel series about UFOs, blending science, politics, history, and fiction. The plot involves a conspiracy related to the development of advanced aircraft, with a character named John Wilson potentially linked to the 1896-1897 phantom airship wave and later collaborating with German scientists on a 'soucoupe' project.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Phénomèna strongly emphasizes the investigation and reporting of UFO phenomena, with a particular focus on the activities and credibility of organizations like SOS OVNI. The magazine appears to adopt a serious, investigative stance, aiming to present factual accounts while also exploring the more speculative and controversial aspects of the field, such as alleged alien contact and the psychological profiles of individuals involved. The detailed coverage of the Jean Miguères case highlights the intersection of UFOlogy with criminal investigation and public perception. The 'Review of the Press' section suggests an editorial effort to stay informed about global UFO discourse and to critically assess information presented in other media. The magazine also seems to promote collaboration within the UFO community through its event listings and calls for participation.

Phénomèna, issue dated March-April 1995, is a French-language magazine dedicated to exploring UFO phenomena, conspiracy theories, and related mysteries. This issue features a deep dive into the two-volume work "Projekt Saucer" by W.A. Harbinson, titled "Inception" and "Phoenix". It also includes reader letters discussing cults and their potential extraterrestrial links, a review of a book titled "Les Objets Volants Non Identifiables", and a section dedicated to press clippings from 1994.

Analysis of W.A. Harbinson's "Projekt Saucer"

The magazine extensively reviews W.A. Harbinson's "Projekt Saucer" series, focusing on the narrative presented in "Inception" and "Phoenix". The story centers around a character named Bradley who becomes entangled with a mysterious and manipulative extraterrestrial entity named Wilson. "Inception" reportedly covers an event in July 1947 near Roswell, where Bradley encounters Wilson, who is implied to be an alien descending from one of his advanced craft. This encounter is described as cold and almost initiatory, with veiled threats, leading Bradley to abandon his investigation.

"Phoenix", the second volume, expands the narrative to cover the period from the post-WWII era into the 1960s. It details the alleged recovery of a Roswell saucer by the military and the involvement of figures like Jack Fuller from the CIA, tasked with ensuring a complete blackout of information. Dwight from the Air Technical Intelligence Centre is also mentioned as being involved in efforts to understand the phenomenon, alongside researchers like Hynek and McDonald, and private groups. Wilson, meanwhile, is said to have established a secret base in Antarctica where he manufactures saucers, granting him leverage over American authorities. A pact is described where Wilson provides technological advancements in exchange for the US government overlooking alien abductions (likened to forced labor) and discrediting UFO witnesses.

The review highlights that Wilson's influence continues, sometimes aiding and sometimes hindering American technological progress. Bradley, after defecting, is visited by various individuals, including Dwight, seeking information. The narrative culminates with Fuller revealing to Bradley that he already knows the truth, leading to the disappearance of Bradley and his wife, implying they knew too much.

The magazine notes that the relationship between Wilson and US authorities, including the president, is a recurring theme. The author of the books is credited with providing a new framework for understanding ufology, incorporating known elements and personalities. The second volume concludes with Dwight being silenced, warned that he knows too much, similar to Bradley's earlier encounter.

Cults and Extraterrestrial Connections

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to reader letters and analysis concerning cults, particularly the "Bâal-Contrat" and the "Ordre du Temple Solaire" (OTS). A reader, who admits to having joined the Bâal-Contrat, draws parallels between the sect and the revelations in an article about the "Ordre du Temple Solaire". The Bâal-Contrat, composed of French, Belgian, and Canadian members, allegedly predicted an apocalypse in 1980 and planned for collective survival bases, with some members regrouping in Albiez, France. They also spoke of being evacuated via flying saucer to a planet named Bâavi, located in Proxima.

The reader recounts being wrongly accused by Jean Roy and receiving threats for allegedly disrupting the teaching of the "immutable order of Proxima". The concept of "disembodied entities" (O.I.) permanently existing in a state of astral doubling, maintained by extraterrestrials in a comatose state in vats, is discussed. These entities are said to join the order upon death, living in fear of missing their "passage".

Another letter discusses the similarities between the Bâal-Contrat and the Ordre du Temple Solaire, suggesting that both movements draw inspiration from similar occult and syncretic themes. The progression from "unknown superiors" in theosophy to extraterrestrial "masters" in ufology is noted. The question of manipulation, whether terrestrial or extraterrestrial, is raised, with the magazine suggesting that solid information is the best defense.

The magazine also mentions that Jean Roy attempted to revive the sect in Canada through a Frenchman, who allegedly attributed two books to the pseudonym Chris Addar, omitting the 1980 social chaos context.

Book Reviews and Features

"Les Objets Volants Non Identifiables" by Daniel Mavrakis and Marie-Pierre Olivier is reviewed. Published in 1986, it provides a general history of UFO phenomena, discusses hypotheses, and courageously examines testimonies of "contactees".

A section titled "Coupures de Presse 1994" presents a collection of approximately 80 press clippings from SOS OVNI's network, intended as raw material for researchers to deepen their knowledge. Cases mentioned include those from Tronville-en-Barrois, Bacqueville, Narbonne, and Col de Vence.

Reader Contributions and Classifieds

The magazine includes a "Recherches" (Searches) section where readers post requests for specific UFO-related books, magazines, pins, or information. These range from requests for works by authors like Jimmy Guieu, Charles Berlitz, and Jacques Vallée, to specific issues of "Mystères" magazine and information on the Roswell incident.

There is also a "Divers" (Miscellaneous) section with announcements for UFO study groups, typing services for manuscripts, and a call for meteorite hunters. A notable announcement is from Jean-Pierre Troadec, responsible for the Rhône-Alpes branch of SOS OVNI, who has published a dossier on UFOs in the region titled "OVNI, LE DOSSIER RHONE-ALPES, ARCHIVES 1993", comprising about 150 pages across two volumes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the analysis of UFO-related literature, particularly the W.A. Harbinson series, the exploration of cults and their potential links to extraterrestrial beliefs, and the compilation of UFO sightings and research materials. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of presenting information and encouraging critical analysis, as suggested by the emphasis on "solid information" as a defense against manipulation. The editorial stance is one of deep engagement with the UFO phenomenon, providing a platform for researchers, witnesses, and enthusiasts to share information and discuss complex theories.
