He will cover significant investigations by his association, including a close encounter with a small disc (approx. 50 meters), a probable missing-time case experienced by a young girl, and other 2008 testimonies. He will also discuss an RR3 case from 1945 near Morlaix and observations by a 90-year-old former sailor, including one from the November 1990 wave. David will explain the investigation methods used by OvniPresent and touch upon cases of misidentification.

Several other cities are also listed with upcoming meetings, though their specific programs are not yet detailed: Strasbourg (December 4th), Toulouse (December 10th), Bordeaux (December 5th), and Dijon (December 6th).
Notably, the Colmar meeting planned for December has been canceled due to the unavailability of guest Michael Hesemann.
UFO Investigations and Media
The publication highlights the ongoing efforts to inform the public through various media, including press articles.
The Apt UFO Video
A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to a video posted on YouTube, initially dated November 16, 2008, and filmed in Southern France. The Repas Ufologiques were contacted by an Israeli ufological group requesting information about this video. Through online appeals, they identified the video as being filmed on July 4, 2008, in the region of Apt. A neighbor of the witness, who is also the author of the video, provided further information. The association has since shared these verified details with their Israeli contacts. The investigation report for this case is available on their website, and they are working to obtain proof of the observation's identification.
