Article: The Mayas and Extraterrestrial Civilizations

This issue extensively explores the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on the Mayan civilization. The article 'Les Codex Mayas sont-ils des Documents Vénusiens Relatant un Cataclysme Universel Vieux de 5000 Ans?' by Guy Tarade suggests that Mayan science surpassed that of the Greeks and Egyptians, with remarkable achievements in mathematics and astronomy. The choice of the jungle as a permanent residence and their advanced techniques, despite lacking the wheel, are presented as puzzling. The article posits that this advanced knowledge might have been brought from elsewhere, possibly from Venus, citing the symbolism of twins and the Gemini constellation in Mayan lore.

Another section, 'Le Secret des Pyramides,' discusses the enigmatic nature of Mayan monuments and their potential connection to cosmic forces. It touches upon the destruction of Mayan artifacts by Diego de Landa, suggesting that these statues represented beings from another space, a lost race with distinct morphological characteristics, possibly indicating an extraterrestrial intervention.

The article 'L'AUTRE RACE' discusses the possibility of an 'other race' influencing the Mayas, noting the depiction of beings with elongated skulls and almond-shaped eyes in Mayan art. It references the 'Gate of the Sun' at Tiahuanaco and its potential representation of a calendar or beings from Venus.

'LE SECRET DE LANDA' questions whether the precious Mayan manuscripts collected by Bishop Diego de Landa are still preserved and speculates about their potential location. It also touches upon the practice of human sacrifice and the possible hidden knowledge of Landa.

'VENUS ET LES CODEX MAYAS' highlights the recurring symbol of 'Quetzalcoatl,' the feathered serpent, linked to the planet Venus. It suggests that the difficulty in deciphering Mayan writings might stem from their extraterrestrial origin, with symbols not traced by humans but by Venusians.

The date '4 Ahau 8 Cumhu' (3113 BC) is presented as a significant event in Mayan history, comparable to major events in other cultures. The article 'UNE CIVILISATION EXTRA-TERRESTRE SUR NOTRE GLOBE' by R. Carras proposes that the Mayan civilization, with its unique characteristics, might be the result of a union between a terrestrial, stone-age culture and an advanced extraterrestrial one. This hypothesis is supported by the Mayas' advanced knowledge, their apparent disregard for the wheel, and their sophisticated understanding of astronomy and cosmology, which seem anachronistic for their time.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the exploration of extraterrestrial influence on ancient civilizations, with a particular focus on the Mayas. The publication strongly advocates for the theory that advanced knowledge and technologies observed in Mayan culture were not indigenous but were likely introduced by beings from other worlds, possibly Venus. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry into these possibilities, encouraging readers to consider unconventional explanations for historical enigmas. The bulletin positions itself as a platform for disseminating information and fostering discussion on these 'unknown phenomena.'

This issue of PHENOMENES INCONNUS, dated Mai-Juin 1968, delves into the enigmatic world of UFOs and ancient civilizations, with a particular focus on the Mayan culture. The magazine presents a series of articles that interpret Mayan codices and historical accounts through the lens of extraterrestrial contact and advanced ancient technology.

Interpretation of Mayan Codices

The core of this issue revolves around the analysis of Mayan codices, primarily the Magliabecchiano Codex and the Cortesianus Codex. The authors, drawing heavily on the work of R. Charroux, propose that these ancient texts are not merely historical records but contain detailed accounts and symbolic representations of extraterrestrial visitors and their technology.

The "Avant", "Pendant", and "Après" Drawings

The articles break down specific drawings from these codices into three phases: "Avant" (Before), "Pendant" (During), and "Après" (After). The "Avant" drawing is interpreted as depicting indigenous people with limited knowledge, possibly representing a couple. The "Pendant" drawing is seen as illustrating beings arriving from the sky in flying machines, recognized by the natives as gods. This is linked to the tradition of the return of ancient white gods, as noted by R. Charroux.

The interpretation suggests that the "white beings" might represent extraterrestrials, while the "black" figures could be the indigenous inhabitants of Earth. This leads to a theory of ancient colonization and a persistent racism. The drawing is also seen as a representation of a trade or exchange between the extraterrestrials and the natives, with the former sharing knowledge and the latter offering earthly products.

The "Après" drawing is interpreted as the transmission of powers from the extraterrestrials to the natives. The "white geniuses" are seen as having imparted their knowledge, symbolized by the opening of the native's eyes to a new understanding. This phase signifies the acquisition of secrets and advanced knowledge, suggesting a profound transformation.

The "Maitre du Monde" Concept

A significant concept explored is the "Maitre du Monde" (Master of the World), derived from R. Charroux's work. This title is applied to the extraterrestrial visitors. The fusion of a rocket (tuyère) and a throne is seen as a symbol of this mastery, representing both technological power and dominion. The helmet of a cosmonaut is also interpreted as a substitute for a crown, further emphasizing their elevated status.

Venus and Space Travel

One section focuses on the planet Venus, suggesting that it may have been a vehicle or an extraterrestrial craft. The interpretation of a drawing from the Magliabecchiano Codex links the color green (associated with plants) to Venus. The presence of two tutors in the drawing is seen as representing intelligent beings who controlled or directed Venus, possibly as a spaceship. The energies required for such travel, like anti-gravity and propulsion, are symbolized by serpents with fiery torches.

The Codex Cortesianus is also examined, with a drawing interpreted as a symbolic launch of a flying serpent. The reaction propulsion is highlighted, and the object's ability to change shape is compared to modern aircraft's vertical takeoff capabilities. The serpent is seen as a symbol for any flying craft, from saucers to rockets.

Extraterrestrial Influence on Mayan Civilization

The overarching argument is that the Mayan civilization was fundamentally an extraterrestrial civilization. This conclusion is drawn from the interpretation of their codices, which are believed to depict advanced technology, space travel, and beings from other worlds. The issue posits that this ancient past is evident in Mayan culture and is illuminated by their unique manuscripts.

UFO Sightings Log (June-August 1968)

Complementing the theoretical discussions, the magazine includes a chronological log of UFO observations from June to August 1968. This section details numerous sightings reported across various locations, including France, Spain, Argentina, Morocco, and the USA. The descriptions often include:

• Object Shape: Spheres, elongated objects, cigar-shaped craft, cone-shaped craft, discs, and egg-shaped craft.
• Object Color: A variety of colors are reported, including red, white, green, yellow, orange, violet, blue, and reddish-orange.
• Object Behavior: Objects are described as moving, hovering, oscillating, emitting flashes, disappearing, reappearing, descending, ascending, moving horizontally and vertically, changing course, stopping, spinning, ejecting objects, moving in saccades, and falling like stones.
• Speed and Altitude: Reports mention fast movements, high speeds, and varying altitudes.
• Traces and Effects: Some sightings mention physical traces on the ground, scorched fields, and even electromagnetic effects like radioactivity and paralysis.

Notable sightings include an object in Côte d'Or, France, that transformed from a ball to a duck-like shape; a circular object in Sidi-Bennour, Morocco, that extinguished a burning field; a large fireball seen over New York; and multiple cone-shaped objects reported over Majorca and Bilbao, Spain.

Related Works and Events

The issue also provides references for readers interested in further research. It mentions:

• R. Charroux's "Le Livre des Maîtres du Monde"
• Ivar Lissner's "Civilisations Mystérieuses"
• An exhibition on Maya art held in Paris at the Grand Palais.
• Information about obtaining cited works from a local bookstore in Grenoble.
• An upcoming conference on Mayan codices organized by GEMOC, featuring Robert Carras.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the interpretation of ancient texts as evidence of extraterrestrial contact, the concept of ancient astronauts influencing human civilizations, and the reporting of contemporary UFO phenomena. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, presenting the Mayan civilization as a prime example of a culture profoundly shaped by visitors from other worlds. The detailed analysis of codices and the inclusion of recent UFO reports aim to support this view, suggesting that a re-evaluation of history is necessary to acknowledge this "extra-terrestrial civilization."

This issue of "Ouranos" magazine, dated January 1969, delves into the phenomenon of widespread power outages and investigates a potential link to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), referred to as ESPIs (Engins Spatiaux de Provenance Inconnue).

The Problem of General Power Outages

The lead article highlights the "New York" power outage of November 9, 1965, which affected eight US states and two Canadian provinces, as a prime example of an unexplained event that drew attention to similar occurrences. The magazine, drawing on research from Frank Edwards and foreign information, has documented 40 such cases, with the earliest dating back to November 1953 in New Haven, Connecticut, and the most recent to December 1967 in Oregon and Idaho. A significant French case occurred on November 21, 1955, causing a 50-minute blackout in regions including Paris, the North, Normandy, Brittany, Nantes, and Lyon, all mysteriously deprived of power normally supplied by the Massif Central.

The common thread in these outages, beyond their extent and duration, is the lack of a definitive explanation from technicians. A crucial point is that in 19 out of 40 cases, an ESPI was observed near the location and at the time of the outage, suggesting a possible causal relationship. The article posits that these phenomena, while not constant, are significant enough to warrant serious consideration.

Marc THIROUIN, Director of CIES-OURANOS, discusses the New York power outage, suggesting it was caused by a large, glowing object, about ten meters in diameter, observed above the Chay substation, the outage's origin. Witnesses included a pilot instructor, his student, and a New York State Assemblyman. The outage process involved an exceptional voltage drop, a surge in current demand, and the tripping of circuit breakers, leading to damaged induction coils. The exact mechanism by which an ESPI might influence voltage is still under study, with theories including direct energy pumping or neutralization by the craft's magnetic field. It is noted that ESPIs have long been known to cause failures in car ignitions, lighting, and radio/TV reception.

Thirouin raises the question of whether these events are accidental or intentional, highlighting the enigma of ESPI presence and their occupants' intentions.

Regarding the Olavaria Affair

This section details an event that occurred near Olavaria, Argentina, as reported in the journal "LA RAZON" on July 27, 1968. During a military exercise, soldiers encountered three strange beings. Descriptions of the beings varied, with some calling them tall and blond, others deformed with large thoraxes, and describing their gait as simian. The soldiers fired at them with machine guns, but the projectiles had no effect. Attempts to use rifles were also unsuccessful, as the soldiers became paralyzed. The beings then returned to their craft, which ascended and disappeared.

Do UFOs Follow an Action Plan?

This article explores the possibility that UFOs are following a deliberate plan. Since the sighting of nine flying discs by Kenneth Arnold in 1947, UFOs have been reported worldwide. The author suggests that while increased information sources may play a role, the sheer volume and nature of sightings point to a more organized activity. Between 1947 and 1953, large UFOs (30 to 200 meters in diameter) were observed, seemingly studying the planet's energy potential and conducting surveillance. These observations coincided with major military maneuvers, atomic experiments, industrial centers, rocket launch sites, and satellite tests.

Examples cited include:

• July 25, 1947: A pilot, J.H. Janssen, had his plane stopped mid-flight by a UFO.
• April 14, 1949: A V2 rocket was tracked by a UFO during its ascent from White Sands.
• September 1952: During military exercises in England, a UFO shadowed a Royal Air Force fighter, and another hovered over operations, observed by ten officers and base personnel.
• 1953: During Operation "November Moon" in the Mediterranean, a Royal Air Force plane encountered a UFO, causing engine malfunctions and compass deviations.
• August 2-3, 1952: A UFO flew over the atomic plants at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
• August 1, 1952: A UFO hovered over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
• 1956: A large UFO was observed by radar hovering over Orly Airport for nearly two hours, interacting with landing aircraft.

From 1952 to 1964, this surveillance continued, with a focus on developing technologies, particularly in aviation and astronautics, and the use of atomic energy. Espionage at low altitudes and even on the ground is suggested. Since 1965, UFO activity has intensified, with more frequent landings and incidents, especially after 1967. UFOs have been observed following cars at low altitudes, landing on highways, and causing fires. In Europe, numerous manifestations have occurred, and even in the USSR, authorities are concerned. Astronomers at the Kazan Observatory observed UFOs measuring 500 to 600 meters in diameter. A Russian general presented UFO photographs on television, and Dr. Zigel of the Moscow Aeronautical Institute advocated for international cooperation.

In France, the magazine "Forces Aériennes Françaises" called for an investigative commission in March 1968, a sentiment echoed by many American officials.

The year 1968 saw a marked increase in direct UFO action, with numerous cases of paralysis caused remotely by luminous objects. In Argentina, motorists and military vehicles were immobilized. The last known direct action incident occurred on August 16, 1968, when a UFO struck an American ship, the "Pacific Seal," causing it to catch fire and resulting in three injuries. A further increase in activity is predicted for 1969.

The article questions whether UFOs have decided to act openly, coinciding with humanity's impending landing on the Moon, and suggests that some "sacred texts" might offer insights, referencing the work of Jean SENDY.

Recommended Works

The magazine lists several recommended books related to UFOs and ancient mysteries, including works by J. SENDY, G.A. BOURQUIN, and Paul THOMAS. It also promotes a 2.55 franc booklet titled "I Saw with My Own Eyes a Real Flying Saucer" by engineers FARNIER and LEDUC, detailing an observation from September 30, 1954.

Astronomy Enthusiasts Notice

An announcement is made for two used telescopes being sold by a member, with detailed specifications and prices.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently links unexplained phenomena, particularly widespread power outages, to UFO activity. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into these events, presenting evidence and theories that suggest a deliberate and potentially escalating presence of unknown craft and their occupants. There is a clear implication that these events are not random but part of a larger, possibly strategic, plan by the UFOs.
