The publication aims to inform its readers about various aspects of ufology, organizing diverse actions and sharing information through its website and this monthly letter.

Editorial

The editorial notes that August saw renewed media attention on UFOs, with many regional newspapers reporting sightings. However, the editorial laments that most of these observations were quickly identified, with no significant cases of ground traces or very low-altitude objects. The phenomenon, it suggests, has become more discreet in recent years. The editorial also highlights the growth of ufological circles and online presence, thanking those who contribute to informing the public and organizing activities.

Bob Emenegger Declares: Roswell Daily Record

Bob Emenegger is quoted as stating that he could explain the Roswell crash, asserting it was not an alien event but a TOP SECRET Mogul project. He mentions meeting key Roswell locals and Lieutenant Corso, suggesting Corso had limited knowledge and was influenced to claim seeing alien bodies.

MUFON's Official Position on the Roswell Dossier

The official statement from MUFON asserts that the Roswell incident was real and extraterrestrial. It dismisses various "cover stories" and explanations like Project Mogul, Project Paperclip, and "crash dummies" as unsubstantiated. MUFON claims that extensive evidence, including eyewitness testimony, supports the extraterrestrial origin of the Roswell incident, suggesting that some individuals are imprisoned for less evidence than what supports the Roswell case.

UFOs in Morocco: An Unusual Case in June 2004 - Nador

This section details an unusual encounter experienced by Soufian, who lived in Helden, Netherlands. In June 2004, while on vacation in Al Aâroui, Nador, Morocco, Soufian reported seeing a humanoid entity about 1.5 meters tall in his bedroom. The entity was described as having a slender body covered in silky light brown fur, large black eyes, small nostrils, and a mouth exposing pointed pale-white teeth. The entity moved by floating towards Soufian, and the windows in the room slammed shut violently. Soufian fled to the bathroom, believing the entity was pursuing him. He later concluded it was an extraterrestrial visit, noting unusual characteristics like fur and sharp teeth, suggesting telekinetic powers.

UFOs in the Sky of Sedan

On Friday, August 8, 2012, after a match at the Dugauguez stadium in Sedan, France, spectators reported seeing a luminous object with three red points, described as intriguing and moving quickly and silently. Francine recounts that others dismissed it as a common UFO sighting. Xavier Passot from GEIPAN suggested it might be a Thai lantern, a common explanation for many sightings, but acknowledged that some cases remain unexplained.

UFOs in the Sky of Témiscouata, Quebec

On August 8, 2012, campers at the Lac Dôle outdoor center in Témiscouata, Quebec, Canada, reported seeing an unidentified flying object. Pierre-Gabriel Turgeon's article details an incident on July 21 where Janine Lemelin, while photographing a remote-controlled airplane, captured images of what appeared to be two large lights with two black points in the center. The object stopped, the airplane passed, and then the lights departed. Pierre Lévesque, Janine's partner, believes it was an unidentified object in space and that they have proof. An astronomer from ASTER viewed the video but could not identify the object due to the poor resolution of the photos, suggesting it might be a reflection caused by the camera.

Indre - Miscellaneous News

This section announces the "Nuit des étoiles" (Night of the Stars) event in Jeu-les-Bois on August 11, 2012, recalling strange phenomena seen in the Indre region. It also reports that GEIPAN has recorded six unidentified aerospace phenomena in the Indre department. The article discusses GEIPAN's methodology, noting that 22% of phenomena remain unexplained after investigation. Common misidentifications include Thai lanterns, Venus, aircraft, and meteors. The article also mentions specific cases in Le Blanc and Châtillon-sur-Indre, where luminous objects were observed, with Thai lanterns being the proposed explanation by GEIPAN.

UFOs or Stars? - Château-Gontier

This article from August 13, 2012, discusses two cases recorded by GEIPAN in Château-Gontier, France. The first, in October 1976, involved two witnesses observing a luminous, oval, red object that was stationary and then moved east-west before disappearing. The second case, in August 1993, described three witnesses seeing a luminous point that was stationary and faded with the dawn. GEIPAN classified the first case as unidentifiable due to lack of data and the second as likely a bright celestial body.

25 Years Later, the Flying Saucer Reappears - La Roche-sur-Yon

This article from August 20, 2012, reports on the reappearance of a flying saucer exhibit at the Maison Renaissance in La Roche-sur-Yon, France. The object, a model of the RC 360 aerodyne designed by René Couzinet in 1955, was rediscovered and restored in 2010. The aerodyne was designed to take off vertically, inspired by the public's interest in flying saucers at the time. However, Couzinet never completed the project due to financial issues and a lack of state funding.

Book Announcement: "Contacts OVNI - La dernière frontière" by Dr. Roger K. Leir

This section announces the upcoming book by Dr. Roger K. Leir, a surgeon specializing in podiatry, titled "Contacts OVNI - La dernière frontière" (UFO Contacts - The Last Frontier). The book, scheduled for release around September 20, 2012, follows his previous works on "Ovnis et Implants" and the Varginha case in Brazil. It aims to provide an update on the latest findings regarding UFOs and implants, discuss the global situation of UFO phenomena, and touch upon the potential implications for humanity's future, including threats like climate change and nuclear issues.

An Landing with the Presence of a Humanoid near Marrakech

This article details an investigation into a potential UFO landing and humanoid encounter near Marrakech, Morocco. The author was seeking someone to maintain a property and, through word-of-mouth, was led to a witness named Brahim. Brahim recounted an experience his father had in the 1960s or 1970s: waking to his dogs barking, he saw an object on the ground and a small, child-sized silhouette approaching it. The object then ascended vertically and disappeared at high speed. The witness's father was reluctant to discuss the event due to fear of ridicule and local superstition. The author arranged to meet Brahim and his father to gather more details.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the ongoing efforts to explain UFO sightings through scientific analysis (Geipan), the persistent debate surrounding the Roswell incident, and the sharing of personal encounters with UFOs and potential humanoids. The publication appears to maintain an open yet critical stance, presenting various cases while also acknowledging common misidentifications and the challenges of definitive proof. The editorial stance emphasizes the importance of informing the public and encouraging diverse actions within the ufological community.

This issue of OVNIS magazine, dated September 2012 (Volume 11, Issue 11), focuses on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial hypotheses, and related events. It features a detailed account of a significant UFO sighting, reports on various ufology meetings and conferences, and includes a historical piece on aviation pioneer Henri Coanda.

Witness Testimony: Moroccan Sighting

The central article details an observation by a witness named Mohamed in Morocco, likely occurring around 1967-1969. Mohamed, living without electricity at the time, was awakened by his dogs barking. He observed a dark, aluminum-like object, described as the size of a Fiat family car, hovering about one meter above the ground. The object was oval and emitted a faint glow. He also reported seeing a strange, child-sized figure moving towards the object, which then disappeared behind it. The object itself then ascended slowly and moved rapidly towards the northeast without making any sound. Mohamed's father, Brahim, who translated the account, noted that his father was illiterate and had never written anything down, making the detailed recollection remarkable.

Witness Testimony: Belgian Sighting

Another report describes an event in Toufflers, Belgium, on a Friday evening (likely April 2011, based on the publication date of the article). Several people at a cafe called 'Le Poin't' witnessed large, orange-yellow, glowing orbs in the sky around 11 PM. The objects were described as large, well-defined, and moving at a moderate pace, some rotating. The witnesses, including a retired police officer named Jean-Claude Damay, found the phenomenon bizarre and unlike anything they had seen before, ruling out conventional explanations like fireworks or aircraft.

Henri Coanda: A Pioneer's Connection to Flying Saucers

The issue includes a piece on Henri Coanda, an engineer and inventor born in 1886. Coanda, a pioneer in aviation, developed a prototype flying saucer powered by a turbopropeller. He is noted for his work in various fields, including aeronautics and solar energy. The article mentions that he donated many of his inventions to France and passed away in Bucharest in 1972. His connection to ufology stems from his development of a flying saucer prototype.
