Editorial: Devoir de mémoire : pour l'ufologie pionnière aussi.

The editorial, written by Gilles Durand, emphasizes the critical need for memory and archival preservation in ufology. It recounts the founding of SCEAU/Archives OVNI in 1990 due to the alarmingly rapid disappearance of important ufological archives in France. The editorial highlights the case of Marc Thirouin, founder of CE Ouranos, who, before his death in 1972, allegedly "cleaned house," dispersing or destroying some of his correspondence and files. This led to opportunistic associations claiming heritage, while the AAMT (Association des Amis de Marc Thirouin) was created to preserve his memory with limited success.

SCEAU is presented as an organization entirely dedicated to saving ufological archives, currently supported by about fifty donors. It has successfully preserved crucial archives from various sources, including SOS OVNI, Michel Monnerie, Michel Figuet, GREPO, GPUN, and CVLDLN, many of which were abandoned, facing dispersion, or destruction.

The editorial argues that preserving archives respects the spirit of the work of ufologists and associations. It provides examples of how archival research advances the field, such as identifying the September 1947 "Terre-Air-Mer" article as the first significant piece in the public specialized press, predating the commonly cited "Science et Vie" article of 1951. It also notes the discovery of the first ufological association in Grenoble in 1949, earlier than the commonly believed 1951 date, and the existence of a local ufological group in Gérardmer in the early 1950s, uncovered from archived documents.

The importance of preserving documents is further stressed by mentioning the potential to reconstruct a more precise history of ufology if more documents had been saved. SCEAU's archives include correspondence from ufological pioneers like Georges Adamski, Marc Thirouin, L.C. Potvin, Jimmy Guieu, and Aimé Michel, as well as rare journals, private translations, studies, and thousands of letters and press clippings from 1947 to the present.

SCEAU has developed tools like the CNEGU database for press clippings, which contains thousands of entries, and another database for French ufological associations, exceeding 800 entries. The organization estimates that ufology has actively or passively interested at least 10,000 people in France since 1947, with some associations having up to 2,000 members and journals reaching thousands of subscribers.

Quot où chercher ?

This section addresses the issue of young ufologists getting lost in well-trodden paths due to a lack of knowledge about previous research. It emphasizes the importance of consulting existing archives to avoid reinventing the wheel. The example of press clippings is used, noting that returning to local newspapers like "Ouest-France" from 1954 is often unnecessary as ufologists in the 1970s and 1980s already compiled such information.

The article points out that much published material from 1947 to 1970 remains unknown or forgotten, a task that few young ufologists are undertaking due to a lack of information or guidance from their elders. The lack of "passeurs" (mentors or guides) is seen as a reason for the slow progress in ufology.

It highlights the dedication of a few "accros" of archives, including sympathizers and active members like Patrick Gross, Rémy Fauchereau, and Didier Charnay, who continue to unearth information. The article specifically mentions exhuming press clippings from "Le Sénonais Libéré" from 1954 in 2004.

The focus then shifts to the pioneering era of ufology, referred to as "archéo-ufologie," where researchers were developing rudimentary methodologies. This era is characterized by the rarity of documents that were once commonplace. Examples include "Lumières dans la Nuit" (1958-1969), "Le Courrier Interplanétaire" (1955-1969), circulars from the "Cercles des Amis du Courrier Interplanétaire," and writings by Professor Rameau de Saint Sauveur (1957-1970s). The article laments that many of these documents are now rare or lost, but acknowledges that SCEAU has managed to preserve some of them, including a complete collection of "Le Courrier Interplanétaire."

L'accès aux archives sauvegardées par le SCEAU

This section announces the development of the SCEAU website, which now features inventories of most of its archived funds, along with its "vadémecum de consultation" (consultation guide). These documentary funds are deposited in various French archives, including the Archives Nationales in Fontainebleau, Departmental Archives in Metz and Marseille, and thematic libraries in Metz, Nice, Yverdon (Switzerland), and Arros-de-Nay (64). These archives are open to the public, and researchers are encouraged to visit them.

The article clarifies that while SCEAU has decided to scan the most sought-after documents, it lacks the time and resources to scan everything it has preserved, especially the vast amount of material saved in the 1990s. Therefore, SCEAU proposes that the next step is for the public to actively engage with and utilize these archives.

It also addresses the criticism SCEAU sometimes receives for not having all documents in one easily accessible location. The article defends the organization's efforts, stating that it does what it can with its means and that the archives are accessible via TGV, plane, or SNCF.

NÉCROLOGIE: Disparition de notre ami Renaud Leclet

This section is dedicated to the memory of Renaud Leclet, a member of CNEGU and SCEAU/Archives OVNI, who passed away on December 17, 2004, at the age of 35. Leclet was a field investigator in the Ardennes region and joined the North-East Committee in April 1997. He presented a counter-investigation on the Gué d'Hossus case, which involved traces. His work, including investigations, press catalogs, and articles, gained recognition within the ufological community. His study on the Kelly-Hopskinville case was particularly noted. Leclet had many ongoing projects and had signed a contract with SCEAU to safeguard ufological heritage. His archives, saved in early 2005, will be preserved with the CNEGU collection at the Departmental Archives of Moselle. His main works include investigations into the Gué d'Hossus case, the evolution of night flight in ALAT and its similarities to ufological observations, the Kelly-Hopskinville case, and the Belgian UFO wave of 1989-1992.

July 2005

The month began with GDD continuing to scan documents for Bulletin 7. Mail was received from RFU containing books and a catalogue. GDD worked extensively on Bulletin 7, aiming for higher quality scanned documents. There was a difficulty in printing 5 copies of Jean-Michel Abrassart's monograph and 15 color covers for his mémoire. The Main Courante (MC) 37 was updated. Exemplars of the Assas document and Bulletin 6 were bound. A significant meeting took place at SCEAU in Vincennes on July 22nd, attended by notable guests including Martine Berthemin, Jean-Michel Abrassart, Jean-Luc Vertongen, Jérôme Beau, and Jean-Claude Venturini. An agreement was reached between SCEAU and CISU regarding the negotiation of SOS OVNI archives from Perry Petrakis.

August 2005

Early August involved printing a SCEAU brochure and business cards, and binding an additional Abrassart document. SCEAU participated in a RUP event with François Bourbeau and Rémy Fauchereau, though sales were limited. The RUP contact list was updated. GDD finalized the pages for Bulletin 7. The Main Courante 37 was also updated by GDD. Books from Library 3 were sent to the Maison d'Ailleurs in Yverdon. News was received of the death of ufologist Raoul Foin at the age of 96. Contact details for ufologists were transmitted for the Directory. A major archival sorting mission took place in Dompierre-les-Ormes (DLO) from August 12th to 29th, involving JSX, RFU, RRE, GDD, TPC, and PFL. GDD spent 10 days on-site sorting the Figuet Fonds. The mission was characterized by good relations, festive meals, cultural outings (including a visit to the Butte de Suin and Taizé), and even a fishing trip. The report notes that SCEAU archival sessions are punctuated by festivities and social events, and calls for new volunteers. A concerning report emerged on August 30th that the Maison d'Ailleurs had only received 2 out of 4 expected packages, with one package of 22 books never arriving.

September 2005

JSX worked on preparing the program for the Rencontres de Châlons. TRR, RRE, and JSX worked on the RLT library to distribute books among different libraries. On September 6th, JSX contacted Rod Dyke of AUFOR in Washington State to introduce SCEAU. On September 13th, RRE and LRE received RLT books from JSX for the 4th book deposit in Library 1. JSX gathered books and journals for the Sonia Ragel Fonds. TRR worked on Library 2. A SCEAU meeting in Vincennes on September 21st focused on preparations for Châlons and future trips to Brussels by Martine Berthemin, GDD, TRR, and Michel Le Bourlay. Plans for the Maison d'Ailleurs as a future deposit in PACA were also discussed.

October 2005

October began with a discussion about the numbering of the SOBEPS exhibition panels, suggesting potential missing panels. TRR found a driver for transporting materials to Châlons. Martine Berthemin and GDD traveled to Brussels to retrieve archives from SOBEPS and Jean-Luc Vertongen, filling their car. They also visited an exhibition by Panamarenko at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, purchasing UFO-themed items. Preparations for Châlons involved printing documents. JSX contacted 'Sundeye' regarding the archives of American ufologist George Andrews. JSX prepared 'Trans' documents from SERPAN for Châlons. Various printings were done, including an order form for FBE's monograph and copies of Abrassart's mémoire. The SCEAU stand was set up in Châlons. GDD returned to Paris for professional reasons. GDD completed the 2002 activity report for bulletin 7 and began printing the SCEAU brochure, but the printer broke down, aborting the printing of Bulletin 7 and monographs. GDD traveled back to Châlons via train and car, with a minor incident concerning the vehicle's upholstery. JSX attended a private colloquium organized by E. Russo and V.J. Ballester Olmos, presented SCEAU, and acquired books and journals. JSX contacted Francis Gatti of CASAR to dissuade him from destroying his archives, offering a meeting with Henri Broch. Jean-Michel Abrassart proposed advertising the SCEAU edition of his mémoire in 'SF magazine'.

November 2005

Numerous exchanges occurred between JSX and EuroUfoNet regarding the 'What is SCEAU?' article. GDD was integrated into the 'Steering Committee' for ufological research in France. Updates were made to the Book Base. Exchanges with V. Ballester-Olmos concerned the Monnerie fonds photos. Perry Petrakis made a new proposal for the cession of SOS OVNI archives at a reduced price. A situation arose with PPS increasing their demands, causing frustration. Eventually, PPS accepted E. Russo's proposal of €7500 for the SOS OVNI fonds, with payment by certified check against archives. A SCEAU meeting took place at JmGT's, discussing document exchange, the Châlons event, sorting sessions, and negotiations with Perry Petrakis. RRE presented a rare item from Switzerland. JSX contacted GDD about Alain Delmon's research on Van Vlodorp's mémoire. JSX provided updates on the SOS OVNI affair, noting excessive delays for document consultation and storage issues. An invitation was extended to meet JM Abrassart in Paris on December 4th. JSX requested TPC to temporarily host the SOS OVNI archives at DLO, which TPC accepted. Profiles of RRE, TRR, and GDD were sent to Maurizio Verga for EuroUfoNet. A sorting session at TRR's focused on Library 2, identifying books annotated by Renaud Leclet. A request was made to PFL to act as a driver for the SCEAU/SOS OVNI mission. Final preparations were made for the SOS OVNI mission, including dates for archive collection and the convention with PPS/SCEAU, with AFU covering some transport costs.

December 2005

Discussions continued regarding the update of Library 2. Contact was made with the director of the Bibliothèque d'Arros-de-Naÿ regarding the Fonds Sonia Ragel contract. Contact was also made with La Maison d'Ailleurs about received books. Potential drivers were sought for a Paris > Montbard > Fuveau > DLO > Paris route. PFL offered to be a driver on December 17th-18th. A TGV trip from Paris to Montbard was planned for a second driver and JSX. Preparations for the SOS OVNI mission were underway, with a call for donations. A dinner was held in Paris for JSX, ESX, and JM Abrassart. JSX met Bernard Hugues at Gare de Lyon to collect 3 cartons of CERPA archives. The contract for Arros-de-Naÿ was signed. Roger Bourguignon was confirmed as the second driver for the SOS OVNI mission. Due to difficulties in renting a van in Paris or Aix, JSX sought PFL's assistance in finding a rental in Montbard. The mission 'SOS OVNI Archives Retrieval' took place, involving the signing of the convention and cheque with PPS, who requested an amendment. Numerous cartons of archives were collected and sent to DLO. A message was sent to various organizations (AFU, CISU, F.Anomalia, etc.) informing them of the successful conclusion of the SOS OVNI operation. A SCEAU meeting in Vincennes reviewed the SOS OVNI mission and discussed sending books from Library 2 to Nice-Sophia Antipolis. JSX transmitted the amendment requested by PPS. Preparations were made for sending books for the Fonds Sonia Ragel.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the meticulous and ongoing work of archiving and preserving ufological documents, the importance of collaboration between different organizations and individuals in the field, and the logistical challenges involved in managing large collections. The editorial stance appears to be one of dedication to the cause of ufology, emphasizing the value of historical data and the commitment of its members, despite the inherent difficulties and occasional setbacks. There is a clear emphasis on the practical aspects of research and archival management, balanced with a recognition of the social and collaborative nature of the ufological community.

This issue of 'PREMIÈRES RENCONTRES UFOLOGIQUES EUROPÉENNES DE CHALONS-EN-CHAMPAGNE' (PRUEC), dated October 14-16, 2005, focuses on the events and related activities surrounding the European UFO Encounters held in Châlons-en-Champagne. The magazine covers various aspects of ufology, including a specific project, personal accounts, organizational efforts, archival work, and a look at UFOs in cinema.

Le Projet « Cristal »

The issue begins by detailing 'Le Projet « Cristal »' (The Crystal Project), initiated by Yanice Nassiet, an entrepreneur with relocated activities in China and a dilettante ufologist. Nassiet, formerly responsible for the SOTO group and a member of SCEAU since 2004, proposed creating a promotional item for the Châlons encounters: a crystal block laser-engraved with a 3D image. His company specialized in this technique. Despite assurances that everything would be ready by October 2005, Nassiet was absent from the Châlons event, and no 'SCEAU' crystal blocks were present. The article speculates on the reasons for this disappearance, including potential divergences among the organizers or Nassiet's inability to fulfill his commitments. The only tangible outcomes mentioned are projects by 'RalRob', some of which are presented in the issue.

Rencontres Européennes d'Ufologie de Chalons-en-Champagne (PRUEC)

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a report by Grégory Gutierez on the PRUEC event held on October 14-16, 2005. Gutierez describes the gathering of ufologists from various 'tendencies,' with associations presenting their work on dedicated stands. He notes the presence of both 'rational ufologists' and the 'lunatic fringe.' Gutierez mentions attending the event with Jérôme Beau, intending to present 'UFOMATICS' projects, but they arrived to find the event had concluded earlier than expected. Despite this, they spent the day interacting with various personalities in the field, including Francine Fouéré, Thierry Rocher, Jacques Scornaux, Jean Pollion, Thierry Pinvidic, Gilles Munch, and Alain Stauffer. He also highlights the informative stands of SCEAU-Archives OVNI, CNEGU, and SPICA, and the sale of second-hand ufological books, where he spent over 150€.

A special mention is given to the 'HAARP' stand, which Gutierez describes as highly paranoid, discussing extraterrestrial implants, American military climate manipulation, chemtrails, and claiming that images from science fiction films were actually real alien craft. Gutierez suspects this presentation was a deliberate prank by students.

He also notes the discussions among 'high level' ufologists who met privately to discuss organizing a more methodical and effective European ufological research effort, lamenting the lack of communication between researchers across different countries.

Eduardo Russo from Italy's CISU presented his research on 50 years of ufology in his country, detailing his evolution from a strong believer in extraterrestrial origins to a more skeptical and agnostic stance. Russo compared ufologists to 19th-century entomologists who meticulously cataloged butterflies without fully understanding their life cycle.

Artwork by RalRob

Several pages feature drawings by RalRob, illustrating UFOs, alien encounters, and ufological concepts. These include depictions of flying saucers, alien beings, and stylized representations of historical sites like Easter Island with UFOs.

Le Coin des Penseurs (The Thinkers' Corner)

Photos feature individuals like Jean-Michel Abrassart, Thierry Pinvidic, Roger Bourguignon, Rémy Fauchereau, Isabelle Dumas, Michel Coste, Gilles Durand, Raoul Robé, Patrick Fournel, Gilles Munsch, and others. The report highlights the stands of SCEAU, SOBEPS, and CNEGU, and mentions the dismantling of the Marjorie Fish module.

Mission « Archives SOS OVNI »

This section details the 'SOS OVNI Archives Mission' which took place in Fuveau and Dompierre-les-Ormes on December 17-18, 2005. The mission involved sorting and preserving archives, with materials being allocated to various organizations, including SCEAU, CISU, AFU, and CNEGU. The process involved scanning and cataloging documents, including police reports and witness testimonies.

Les Ovnis au Cinéma (UFOs in Cinema)

A page is dedicated to UFOs in cinema, featuring posters and titles of films such as "Le Ciel sur la Tête," "The Flying Saucer," "The War of the Worlds," and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

Bilan d'Activité du SCEAU 2006 (SCEAU Activity Report 2006)

This section provides a chronological summary of SCEAU's activities throughout 2006, detailing meetings, archival work, publications (Bulletins 7 and 8), acquisitions of books and documents, and organizational updates. Key activities include the digitization of gendarmerie reports, inventory of archives, updates to SCEAU's libraries, and participation in various ufological events and meetings. The report also notes a significant data loss from the Médiathèque de Moigny due to territorial authority intervention.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the organization and reporting of ufological conferences, the preservation and archiving of UFO-related data, and the diverse perspectives within the ufological community. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting and reporting on these events and activities, while also offering critical commentary on certain aspects, such as the more extreme or paranoid presentations at conferences. There is a clear emphasis on the work of the SCEAU organization in archiving and disseminating information within the French ufological landscape.

This issue of Ufomania, identified as issue 31 and dated 2006, focuses on the activities of ufological organizations and events in France. The cover prominently features the "2nd Ufological Encounters of Graulhet" held on September 9-10, 2006, under the theme "Under the Sign of Friendship."

Archival and Library Activities

The magazine details the ongoing work of the RRE (Restauration et Sauvegarde) and GDD (Gestionnaire des Documents) groups. RRE is involved in digitizing press articles related to MFT investigations, recovering documents from various sources, and acquiring books for the SCEAU library. GDD manages the inventory of incoming correspondence, works on reconstituting the association's bulletins, and scans photos and articles. A significant event was the 5th deposit of the SCEAU library's "Ufology & Parasciences" collection at the Médiathèque du Pontiffroy in Metz on September 13, 2006, which comprised 251 books.

Throughout the year, the SCEAU received numerous book donations, and GDD reorganized storage spaces. The issue also mentions the purchase of books by GDD, including six copies of Bertrand Meheust's "En soucoupes Volantes," thanks to RRE. Various exchanges and 'troc' (barter) activities with authors and researchers are noted.

Conferences and Events

The "2nd Ufological Encounters of Graulhet" is a major focus. Organized by Didier Gomez and the Ufomania team, the event aimed to inform the public and allow ufologists from across France to meet and exchange information in an excellent atmosphere. The conferences featured numerous UFO specialists, and the event was well-received by the public. Notable speakers included Jacky Kozan, who detailed the creation and objectives of the "Académie d'Ufologie," emphasizing its role in professionalizing the field and establishing a code of ethics. Other speakers mentioned include Bruno Bousquet, Thierry Gaulin, Robert Roussel, Jean-Luc Rivera, Pierre Beake, Pr Yves Lignon, and Richard Nolane.

The issue also highlights the "Repas Ufologiques" (Ufological Meals) as important cohesive events where representatives from various regions (Strasbourg, Albi, Marseille, Toulon, Toulouse, Bordeaux) shared their experiences. These meetings are presented as crucial for informing local communities and providing a platform for free expression, especially given the French press's tendency to ignore or ridicule UFO phenomena.

Specific Incidents and Investigations

Several specific activities are mentioned: the recovery of documents related to the "Cergy-Pontoise affair" and the donation of Antonio Ribera's book "Cartas de tres herejes" by Pablo Mauso-Villaruaba. The issue also references the "missed rendezvous" events in Cergy-Pontoise on August 15, 1980, and 1983, noting GDD's presence.

Archival Holdings and Membership

Pages 8 and 9 provide a detailed breakdown of the SCEAU's holdings as of December 31, 2006, categorized by department and type (individual, associative, mixed funds). It also lists the association's members and donors, detailing the types of funds they have contributed or are in the process of contributing. Some members' identities are kept confidential for personal reasons.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the preservation and organization of ufological archives, the importance of information exchange and collaboration within the ufology community, and the challenges faced by ufologists in France due to media indifference or ridicule. The magazine emphasizes the value of dedicated individuals and groups like RRE, GDD, and SCEAU in maintaining and disseminating knowledge about UFO phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting serious research, archival preservation, and fostering a professional and friendly environment for ufologists.

This issue of 'Le Sceau dans les Médias' (The Seal in the Media) from August 2006, published by SCEAU, focuses on the media presence of the organization and its members, particularly ufologist Rémy Fauchereau. It also extensively covers the campaign to save the National Archives and the preservation of archival material.

Rémy Fauchereau: UFO Investigator

The magazine features articles from 'L'Indépendant de l'Yonne' (December 23, 2005) and 'L'Yonne Républicaine' (December 2, 2006) highlighting Rémy Fauchereau's lifelong passion for UFOs. Fauchereau, a 53-year-old technician and biologist by training, has been interested in UFOs since he was 16. He is described as a rational investigator, skeptical of government conspiracies and extraterrestrial abductions, yet open to the reality of unexplained aerial phenomena. He emphasizes that while he has never personally seen a flying saucer, he dedicates himself to collecting and investigating witness testimonies in the Yonne region. His work involves computer reconstructions and astronomical software analysis to rule out rational explanations. He notes that the French government takes UFO sightings seriously, with reports being transmitted to CNES in Toulouse for study by GEIPAN. Fauchereau is also involved in compiling and archiving local press articles on unexplained phenomena since 1954, with plans to publish two books on the subject.

The Campaign to Save National Archives

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the "Appel pour sauver les Archives Nationales" (Call to Save the National Archives) and related press communiques. This campaign, initiated in 2004, expresses concern over the proposed changes to the status of the National Archives, particularly the construction of a new center in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine.

Key Concerns and Demands:

• Job Creation: The campaign demands the creation of 250 new budgeted and statutory positions to ensure the viability and proper functioning of the new center, rather than relying on redeployments or precarious contracts.
• Status of Archives: There is strong opposition to transforming the National Archives into a Public Administrative Establishment (EPA), which is seen as a gateway to commercialization, precariousness, and flexibility in employment, potentially undermining the national heritage.
• Preservation of Heritage: The campaign emphasizes that archives are a national heritage, irreducible to market economics, and that their preservation and accessibility are crucial for citizens' rights and historical memory.

Key Events and Figures:

• The campaign involved researchers, historians, syndicalists, genealogists, and citizens.
• A petition garnered over 5,422 signatures.
• A delegation, including representatives from C.G.T. Culture and Archives de France, met with M. Henri Paul, Director of the Cabinet of the Minister of Culture, and Mme Martine de Boisdeffre, Director of the Archives de France, on September 1, 2005.
• During the meeting, M. Henri Paul announced the creation of 300 budgeted posts and assured that there would be no forced redeployments. He also stated that the initial announcement of creating an EPA was "premature and poorly prepared."
• The delegation acknowledged these positive steps but reiterated their opposition to the EPA status.

Archival Project Details:

The new center in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, scheduled to open in early 2009, is planned to be a large facility with a total area of 78,445 m2, including 70,745 m2 for storage and 7,700 m2 for public access and offices. It is intended to have a storage capacity of 320 linear kilometers for state archives from 1790 onwards, with an estimated cost of 119 million euros.

Chronology of UFO Culture and Archives

A timeline from 1990-2006 details the evolution of UFO culture and related archival efforts. It notes the rise of conspiracy theories, the impact of the internet on ufology, and the emergence of groups dedicated to archiving UFO-related materials, such as Project 1947 and SCEAU. It also touches upon scientific and governmental involvement, including the creation of GEIPAN by CNES.

Electronic Archives

Another section discusses the "Programme de sauvegarde des archives électroniques aux Archives Nationales" (Program for the preservation of electronic archives at the National Archives). It highlights the challenges and specific methods required for archiving digital materials like emails, documents, and databases, emphasizing the need for specialized treatment and the role of the Archives de France in developing standards and providing advice.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine's stance is clearly in favor of rigorous, rational investigation of UFO phenomena, as exemplified by Rémy Fauchereau's approach. It also strongly advocates for the preservation of historical archives and opposes policies that could compromise their integrity or accessibility, particularly concerning the National Archives. The publication highlights the importance of public engagement and collective action in safeguarding both the study of unexplained phenomena and the nation's historical records.

This issue of Le Monde, dated February 8, 2005, features a prominent debate on the implications of Google's book digitization project, headlined "La BNF chez Google ? Chiche" (The BNF with Google? Challenge accepted!). The issue also covers the deteriorating state of historical monuments in Paris, the challenges facing the National Archives, and the growing use of digital technologies in archaeology. Additionally, it touches upon the digitization of media archives by INA and explores the world of ufology.

The BNF and Google: A Digital Challenge

The lead article by Lucien X. Polastron discusses the agreement between Google and major libraries to digitize millions of books. While acknowledging the potential intellectual benefits for research and accessibility, Polastron expresses significant concerns. He highlights the commercial interests driving Google, suggesting that access will be accompanied by advertisements and links to purchase books, potentially turning libraries into conduits for e-commerce. The article questions the motives behind Google's massive undertaking, noting the exclusion of non-English archives and the potential for cultural marginalization. The author criticizes the slow response of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF) to this 'tsunami,' contrasting it with the proactive approach of American institutions. He also points out the irony of the BNF's own digitization efforts, like the Gallica project, being criticized for their impracticality.

In a related piece, Bertrand d'Armagnac reports on the BNF's own initiative to digitize French press archives from the 19th century to WWII, aiming to make them freely available online. This program, set to run from 2005 to 2009, is presented as a response to American digital initiatives and a way to preserve collective memory. The project involves digitizing major newspapers like Le Figaro, La Croix, L'Humanité, and Le Temps, with a budget of 3.5 million euros, seeking additional partners.

Paris Monuments in Decline

Another article, "Monuments, triste état des lieux" (Monuments, a sad state of affairs), by Laure de Charette, details the alarming condition of historical buildings in Paris. It is estimated that about 20% of the city's 1,787 classified historical monuments are under threat, with over 350 buildings in disrepair. Olivier de Monicault of the SOS Paris association notes that while prestigious sites like Notre-Dame are well-maintained, smaller monuments are neglected, appearing as 'warts' on the urban landscape. The article points to shared responsibility between private owners and the state, highlighting the lack of funding as the primary obstacle, despite political will to protect heritage.

Archives Facing Crisis

Marc Olivier Baruch and Vincent Duclert contribute an article titled "Archives nationales à l'abandon" (National Archives abandoned), which critiques the state of France's national archives. They refer to a 1996 report by Guy Braibant that diagnosed a deterioration of the public archives, jeopardizing democracy and knowledge. Despite suggestions for improvement, the archives have remained underfunded and neglected. The article contrasts the situation with departmental archives, which have received more support, and notes that while politicians have spoken of the importance of archives, concrete actions, such as presenting a new law or establishing an inter-ministerial committee, have been lacking. The plan to build a new center in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine is mentioned as a step towards addressing the issue.

Digital Archaeology

"La réalité virtuelle et l'informatique se mettent au service de l'archéologie" (Virtual reality and IT are put to the service of archaeology) by Stéphane Foucart, reports on the inauguration of the Archéopôle d'Aquitaine in Pessac. This institution aims to connect the public with ongoing archaeological research, utilizing technologies like 3D scanning and virtual reality. Examples include the 3D reconstruction of the Delphic sphinx and a Roman water-lifting system. The article emphasizes how these tools facilitate research, allowing for detailed examination of artifacts and sites, and potentially transforming archaeological practices and international collaborations.

Media Archives Go Digital

An article by Michel Alberganti, "10.000 heures d'archives de l'INA à portée d'un clic pour le grand public" (10,000 hours of INA archives accessible with one click for the general public), announces the launch of a new online service by the Institut national de l'audiovisuel (INA). This platform offers 10,000 hours of television and radio archives, with 80% available for free. Users can search by keywords, themes, or genres, and access content ranging from news reports and historical speeches to cultural programs and sports events. The service also includes access to the full Maurice Papon trial records and plans to double its archive content within three years.

Ufology and the "ICI & MAINTENANT!" Broadcast

The issue concludes with a section on ufology, detailing a radio broadcast on "ICI & MAINTENANT!" titled "LA VERITE SUR LES OVNIS, MAINTENANT!" (The Truth About UFOs, Now!). The article, seemingly written by Gilles Durand of the SCEAU (Service d'archives et de documentation sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés), recounts an experience presenting UFO archives on the show. The author expresses frustration with the host, Didier De Plaige, and the show's perceived lack of depth and preparation, suggesting that the host's interest in UFOs is directly proportional to the audience size. The article criticizes the superficial approach to UFO investigation and the host's alleged bias against 'zetetics' (skeptics who seek rational explanations for UFO phenomena).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently highlights the transformative impact of digitization on cultural institutions, from libraries and archives to archaeological research. There is a clear tension between the potential benefits of increased accessibility and the concerns over commercialization, data control, and the preservation of cultural heritage. The editorial stance appears to be one of cautious optimism regarding technological advancements, tempered by a critical awareness of the underlying economic and political forces at play. The articles also underscore the challenges faced by French cultural institutions in adapting to these changes and competing on a global scale, particularly in the face of dominant American digital initiatives. The ufology section, while distinct, also touches upon themes of information access, interpretation, and the search for truth, albeit in a more speculative context.

This document comprises pages from a French ufology publication, primarily focusing on the activities and public statements of the SCEAU (Association de Sauvegarde et Conservation des Études et Archives Ufologiques - Association for the Safeguarding and Conservation of Ufological Studies and Archives).

SCEAU's Defense Against Allegations

The core of the document is a response from Rémy Fauchereau, an active member of SCEAU, addressing accusations that the organization is hoarding ufological archives for 'skeptics' (zététiciens). Fauchereau vehemently denies these claims, stating that SCEAU has no affiliation with the 'Cercle Zététique' but rather collaborates with official institutions like the Archives Nationales and Archives Départementales. He emphasizes that all salvaged archives are deposited in these public institutions and are accessible to everyone by appointment. He clarifies that only a small number of books are held at the Laboratoire de Zététique in Nice, which is an official organism of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and part of the National Education system, distinct from the 'Cercle Zététique'.

Fauchereau details the extensive efforts of SCEAU in preserving archives from various ufological associations and individual researchers, listing numerous names and organizations whose materials have been safeguarded. He highlights that these archives are made available to all researchers without ostracism. He reiterates that SCEAU is open to everyone and does not promote any specific ufological hypothesis, with members holding diverse views on the nature of UFOs.

He explains that SCEAU's role is not to provide sensational anecdotes but to ensure the professional preservation and accessibility of research materials. He invites critics to visit Châlons to witness their work firsthand.

Communiqué from SCEAU/Archives OVNI

A communiqué from the association further addresses a misrepresentation on the radio station 'Ici et Maintenant'. The station's hosts allegedly summarized SCEAU's intervention as collecting UFO archives for 'skeptics' and urged ufologists not to provide archives to SCEAU. SCEAU refutes these claims as "totally fanciful" and contrary to their stated intentions and actions.

The communiqué, signed by Jacques Scornaux (President) and Gilles Durand (Secretary General), clarifies SCEAU's mission: to safeguard ufological archives entrusted to them for the benefit of all researchers, regardless of their orientation. They affirm their support for the free circulation of information and lament restrictive access conditions in France. They detail the deposition of archives in the National and Departmental Archives, with public access subject to consultation delays. Books are placed in public libraries, including the Laboratoire de Zététique in Nice, which is an official university entity.

SCEAU emphasizes its pluralistic nature, with members holding varied opinions on UFOs, from extraterrestrial hypotheses to temporal travelers. They stress that their neutrality means they do not express official positions as an association, which might lead to them appearing to have 'nothing to say'. Their role is not to judge cases or share anecdotes but to preserve the heritage.

The communiqué concludes by urging ufologists not to be misled by 'false prophets' and to entrust their archives to SCEAU for long-term preservation and access.

This document is a publication from SCEAU ARCHIVES OVNI, titled 'LES SERVICES DU SCEAU' with a prominent section named 'LE TROC'. The issue number is 9, and it covers the years 2005/2006, with a publication date in the second quarter of 2010. The first printing was in April 2010, with 50 copies, including a special numbered edition of 15.

Le Troc Service

The primary focus of this document is the 'Le Troc' service, which is described as a 'Service d'échange de livres et de monographies à l'amiable' (Service for the amicable exchange of books and monographs).

1/ BUTS (Objectives)

The objectives of the 'Le Troc' service are threefold:

• Enrichment of Collections: To enhance the collections of works on UFO phenomena and related themes safeguarded by SCEAU within its 'Ufology & Parasciences' thematic libraries, which are available to the public in Metz (57), Nice Sophia-Antipolis (06), and Yverdon (Switzerland).
• Utilization of Surplus Publications: To prevent surplus books and monographs (beyond 7 copies) acquired through acquisitions, donations, and archive preservation from becoming immobilized due to a lack of placement, while still being useful to active ufologists for their research.
• Discovery of SCEAU Services: To provide ufologists with an opportunity to discover SCEAU and the services it offers.

2/ MODALITES (Procedures)

Any person wishing to part with a UFO-related book (or a book on a related subject) must send their exchange proposal to the SCEAU Secretariat or, failing that, to the TROC manager.

Based on the list of works safeguarded by SCEAU, the service will determine if the proposed book can supplement its bibliographic holdings. If so, SCEAU will, in return, propose a list of available books from the TROC.

The TROC list is updated regularly and is included in the SCEAU Bulletins, as well as on the SCEAU website (sceau-archives-ovni.org). It is available to anyone who requests it. For individuals outside of SCEAU, a stamped envelope addressed to the requester is required. For all members of the association, regardless of their status, it is available upon simple request.

In cases where multiple requests for the same book are received simultaneously, priority will be given to requests from members or, failing that, to the earliest postmarked or electronically submitted request.

Exchanges will be conducted either:
1. By registered postal mail with return receipt (AR), with costs borne by the buyer.
2. In person.

List of Books Offered for Exchange

The document includes an extensive list of books offered for exchange, categorized by author and title. This list spans several pages and details numerous works on UFOs, extraterrestrials, ancient mysteries, and related subjects, with authors such as Robert Charroux, Jacques Bergier, Charles Bowen, Erich Von Daniken, and Jacques Vallée. The list also includes publication details like publisher, year, and quantity available.

INFORESPACE and SOBEPS FLASH

Further sections detail available back issues of the 'INFORESPACE' review and 'SOBEPS FLASH' bulletins, which can be obtained through the TROC or purchased. These lists include issue numbers, dates, titles (for 'INFORESPACE' special issues), and quantities available. The 'INFORESPACE' section includes regular issues from 1976 to 2007 and special issues from 1977 to 1980. 'SOBEPS FLASH' lists issues from February and September 1990.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The publication strongly promotes the exchange and preservation of ufological literature, emphasizing the importance of these resources for research. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of ufology and the dissemination of knowledge within the community. The detailed lists of individuals involved in ufology, their roles, and their affiliations suggest a comprehensive effort to document and connect with the French ufological community over several decades. The 'Le Troc' service and the availability of back issues of specialized publications highlight a commitment to supporting ufological research and historical documentation.

This document, titled 'LA LIBRAIRIE DU SCEAU', functions as a catalog and promotional material for publications related to ufology, primarily from the publisher SCEAU/Archives OVNI. It is presented in French and appears to be part of a larger magazine or newsletter, with page numbers indicating it is from a series (pages 161-165 are shown).

Photo Album of Ufology Pioneers

Page 164 features an 'ALBUM PHOTO DES PIONNIERS DE L'UFOLOGIE OUTRE ATLANTIQUE' (Photo Album of Ufology Pioneers Overseas).

• Coral & Jim Lorenzen (USA), founders of APRO in 1952: Photos show them around 1960. Coral lived from 1925-1988, and Jim from 1922-1986. The APRO Bulletin from April 1978 is shown, with an article titled 'OBJECT OVER STATE PARK'. The text states that Coral and Jim Lorenzen founded APRO in 1952. Jim was a musician and electronic engineer, while Coral was a journalist. They married in 1943 and worked at Holloman AFB in the 1950s. They authored numerous books and articles on ufology between 1952 and 1988. APRO no longer exists.

Page 165 continues with another photo album section:

• USA: LE TEMPS DES CONTACTÉS 1950 - 197 -1956 - Connie et Howard Menger: Photos show them around 1958 ('Attendrissant...') and in the 2000s ('Flippant!'). A book cover 'FROM OUTER SPACE TO YOU' by Howard Menger is displayed. Connie (Weber) Menger's dates are unknown, while Howard Menger lived from 1922-2009.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes are clearly ufology, UFO sightings, archival research, and the history of contactees. The editorial stance appears to be one of documentation and preservation of information related to these subjects, as evidenced by the promotion of archival guides and bulletins, and the historical photo albums of key figures in the field. The publication aims to provide resources for researchers and enthusiasts of ufology.
