SCEAU Bulletin - No 10 - 2007-2008

Magazine Overview

This issue of the BULLETIN DU SCEAU ARCHIVES OVNI, titled N°10 and covering the ANNÉES 2007/2008, is published by SCEAU/Archives OVNI. The price for non-members is 8 € plus 3 € for postage. The ISSN is 1167-6906. The magazine focuses on the activities of the SCEAU association in preserving ufological archives and documents.

Editorial: Illusions Numériques

The editorial, written by Jacques Scornaux, President of SCEAU, addresses the perceived illusion that all written sources will soon be digitized and accessible online. Scornaux argues that the significant cost of digitization, coupled with the rapid obsolescence of digital formats and storage media, makes this vision unrealistic. He points out that while some documents, like parish and civil registers, are being digitized due to their popularity for genealogical research, the complete digitization of all archives is unlikely due to ongoing costs for media transfer and format transcoding. He contrasts the difficulty of securing operational funding with the relative ease of obtaining investment for digitization projects. Scornaux criticizes the lack of foresight regarding digital obsolescence, citing an example of a university librarian who believed PDF would remain the standard for 50 years. He suggests that for commercially viable archives, private companies might fund digitization in exchange for exclusive online distribution rights, potentially limiting access for public institutions. For less commercially valuable archives, he predicts they will continue to be consulted in paper form. Therefore, he emphasizes the continued importance of preserving ufological archives in paper format, as paper has a longer lifespan and serves as the authentic original, especially given the uncertainty of future digital format transfers.

It shows Martine Berthemin and Gilles Durand handling approximately 40 cartons of archives. The mission was delayed due to TPC's health and involved transporting the archives to a cellar provided by Emmanuelle Scornaux.

Février - REPAS UFOLOGIQUE PARISIEN

This article, by Thierry Rocher, discusses the Parisian Ufological Meal (RUP) and the presentation of SCEAU. Jacques Scornaux, President of SCEAU, and Gilles Durand, Secretary General, presented the association's mission. Gérard Lebat sought assistance with sound recording for the monthly meetings. The article mentions an upcoming event with Nick Pope, a former official from the British Ministry of Defence, detailing the schedule, the high number of attendees (192 booked, with many on a waiting list), and the expected media presence. The need for volunteers for security, filtering attendees, and assisting journalists was highlighted. The article also touches upon the importance of camaraderie among ufologists and the desire to make attendees feel welcome.

Revue de Presse

Jean-Michel Pous presented a review of ufological and general interest magazines. Ufological publications mentioned include L.D.L.N., Beta Tauri, Ufomania Magazine, Sentinel UFO News, Archives Perdues, and Apocryphe. General interest magazines like Nexus, Sacrée Planète, Top Secret, and Sci-Fi Magazine featured articles on UFOs, sacred geometry, the Tunguska event, and historical mysteries. He also noted the Parapsy exhibition and TV series related to ufology. Thierry Rocher introduced Michel Padrines' book "OVNI...Générations UFO," which covers French UFO sightings, particularly in the Alsace region.

Le SCEAU/Archives OVNI

Jacques Scornaux explains the founding principles of SCEAU. The association was created due to the frequent loss of important ufological documents when researchers or groups ceased their activities. The primary goal is to ensure the long-term preservation of this heritage. He argues that depositing archives in public institutions (archives centers or public libraries) offers the best guarantees of permanence and neutrality, as these institutions are legally bound to accept and preserve documents. This solution also ensures broader public access compared to specialized research centers. The association's statutes, established in 1990, define ufological heritage broadly to include books, magazines, correspondence, reports, studies, and audiovisual or electronic documents related to UFO research. SCEAU aims to contact individuals and organizations involved in ufology to propose archival deposit contracts.

Scornaux further elaborates on the archival deposit process. Through contracts, donors cede their archives to SCEAU, either during their lifetime or after their death, with defined consultation terms. Even individuals who believe they have few important documents often possess valuable items. SCEAU meticulously classifies and inventories these documents, a task often beyond the capacity of public archives due to lack of resources or specialized knowledge. These documents are then deposited in public archives or, if refused by archives, in public libraries. The preference is always for public archives to maintain the integrity of a fonds. Contracts ensure the perpetuity of the archives and define consultation conditions, with exceptions for privacy protection (e.g., civil status documents less than 100 years old, medical files less than 150 years old). Importantly, deposit contracts are revocable, allowing SCEAU to retrieve archives if a public institution can no longer house them or if legal changes occur. This revocability is particularly crucial for book deposits in libraries, as older books are often discarded. SCEAU acts as an intermediary, respecting the donor's wishes and not retaining original documents. The association also plays a preventive role by raising awareness within the ufological community about the importance of preserving their work and documentation. They publish an annual bulletin (often biennial) detailing the archives saved and plan to eventually publish inventories and book lists online. SCEAU also actively builds collections of ufological works and journals, with significant deposits made at the Médiathèque du Pontiffroy in Metz, the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, and Maison d'Ailleurs in Yverdon. While archive consultation conditions can be restrictive, SCEAU requests that partner libraries ensure free public access to deposited books.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the critical importance of preserving ufological archives, the challenges posed by digital obsolescence, and the role of SCEAU in facilitating this preservation through public deposits. The editorial stance strongly advocates for the continued relevance and necessity of paper archives, contrasting their longevity with the uncertainties of digital formats. The bulletin also highlights the collaborative efforts within the French ufological community and the practical activities undertaken by SCEAU members throughout 2007 and 2008.

This issue of "Les Repas Ufologiques" (issue 14) focuses heavily on the activities and archives of SCEAU (Sauvegarde, Conservation, Etude des Archives Ovni), a French non-profit association dedicated to the preservation of ufological documentation. The magazine details SCEAU's mission, its collaborations, its archival efforts, and its vision for the future, interspersed with discussions on the history of ufology and related topics. The issue also includes a humorous piece contrasting British and French cultural perceptions.

SCEAU: Mission and Collaborations

The article introduces SCEAU as an association with a national scope, created on February 3, 1990. Its primary objectives are to safeguard private ufological heritage, inventory and archive documentation, manage this fund in conjunction with National and Departmental Archives, and promote systematic preservation. SCEAU emphasizes its non-profit status and national vocation.

SCEAU actively collaborates with international organizations, including the Sign Historical Group and AFU (in the US and Sweden, respectively), and maintains contact with Belgian and Swiss researchers. They also engage with specialized ufological associations like CISU in Italy and Fundación Anomalía in Spain. In France, strong ties exist with SOBEPS, which has made significant donations. SCEAU is exploring the possibility of establishing a thematic library within a Belgian university, noting that such institutions are more accessible to the public than their French counterparts.

A significant collaborative achievement mentioned is the joint purchase by SCEAU, AFU, and CISU of the extensive archives of SOS OVNI, which documented the group's entire history.

Archival Philosophy and Practices

A core principle of SCEAU is to retain all documents received, regardless of perceived futility, believing that future researchers will determine their importance. This approach stems from the difficulty in understanding phenomena as complex as UFOs. The conviction is that these archives will ultimately be useful, whether for physicists or humanities scholars.

Jacques Scornaux explains that the archives are primarily paper-based and not yet accessible online, though scanning of important documents has begun. The organization's resources are modest. Gilles Durand highlights the need for resources and manpower, directing readers to a presentation bulletin available at their stand.

Regarding the consultation of archives, Scornaux clarifies that while verbal information can be incorporated if recorded, the majority of documents are written or audiovisual. He assures that SCEAU practices no censorship and makes no judgments on the content of the documents.

Scope of Ufological Literature and Research

In response to a question about the volume of ufological literature, Jacques Scornaux estimates around a thousand French-language ufological books and a similar number in English. He mentions Claude Maugé's comprehensive list. Gilles Durand adds that the Metz-Pontiffroy media library holds a significant collection of ufological works in multiple languages. Thierry Rocher suggests a higher number of books, possibly 3000 to 4000.

Since the first French ufological review in 1951, an estimated 150 to 200 titles have been published, including those from small local groups. Currently, SCEAU has archived 1200 books and aims to deposit 800 to 900 in libraries. They have also amassed around 3000 magazines, with approximately 200 titles in French and foreign languages.

Scornaux notes that the practice of discarding excess books from libraries is common, but patrimonial libraries preserve them. He also mentions that for books in libraries, the rule is to discard them if there are too many copies, but patrimonial libraries keep them.

International Collaboration and Expansion

Regarding translations, SCEAU is a small team and cannot easily undertake English translations, but welcomes collaboration. Gilles Durand is working on cataloging French ufological associations and individuals, estimating around 700 associations and over 5000 ufologists in France. He anticipates these numbers will grow significantly.

SCEAU is developing its online presence, starting with scanning documents. The full content of their bulletins, listing saved documents, will eventually be available online. However, direct online access to the archives themselves faces legal hurdles related to privacy. The goal is to eventually make the most important documents available online, acknowledging the immense scale of ufological archives and the limitations of their resources.

Archival Management and Logistics

The issue details the physical management of SCEAU's archives. They have 120 fireproof cartons of A3 size, each 25 to 30 cm thick, with 50 stored in Fontainebleau. The total number of pieces is expected to reach 100,000. Plans are in place for a third storage location in the PACA region to decentralize archives and keep them closer to their original researchers' regions. They are also seeking regional contracts for archive deposits across 40 departments and 12 regions.

The text highlights the immense task of inventorying and cataloging, citing the Michel Figuet fund requiring sorting of nearly 5000 press clippings and 1000 letters, and the Michel Monnerie fund involving about 10000 items. The first major fund was secured in 1991, with scanning equipment acquired later.

Legal and Access Issues

In Belgium, archives are generally not accepted in public places, but universities are an option. In France, SCEAU has an agreement with a university. Access policies vary by country. For the University of Nice-Sophia-Antipolis, there is a public access clause. SCEAU has eight temporary libraries and offers exclusive documents on surveys or socio-psychological studies, with author consent.

The issue touches upon French legal restrictions, such as the 60-year retention period for gendarmerie documents, which is considered an exception. Restrictions on private life information, medical records (150 years after death), and civil status documents (100 years) are discussed. The article contrasts this with Sweden, where public access to such information is more open, citing it as a matter of taxpayer money.

Ufology Conspiracies vs. Pure Ufology

When asked about the proportion of conspiratorial ufology versus 'pure' ufology in their archives, Scornaux admits it's not a significant distinction for them, as conspiratorial ufology is relatively new. He notes that most collected archives come from older ufologists. Gilles Durand mentions the emergence of 'ufo-nautes' and 'reptilians' popularized after the 1970s. Thierry Rocher attributes the rise of conspiratorial ufology to the translation of works by John Lear and Milton William Cooper in the late 1980s, which were later popularized in France by Jimmy Guieu.

SCEAU's Structure and Future

SCEAU has about fifteen active members, with a potential for growth. Jean-Michel Pous offers his website and scanning services to SCEAU, proposing a collaborative entry point to his site and scanner access. The organization is planning its general assembly, where the creation of an internet site will be discussed.

Long-term security and conservation of archives are concerns, with SCEAU estimating the National Archives as the ideal long-term repository. They aim to establish regional deposit contracts and have potential for deposits in 40 departments and 12 regions.

Specific Collections and Events

The issue mentions specific fonds like AFU, RLT, MFT, SOS OVNI, AESV/JFZ, GLT/GEOS France, Bernard Hugues, and CERPA. It also details activities such as the arrangement of caves used for storage in Vincennes, including the organization of SOS OVNI archives. The arrival of GLT archives (GEOS fonds) and the processing of a second donation of GLT/GEOS are documented.

The magazine reports on the SCEAU General Assembly held in Paris in March 2007, noting the presence of 7 members, 10 proxies, and 6 guests. The CA and Bureau were renewed, and financial and moral reports were approved. Jean-Michel Pous presented his project for a multidisciplinary website, "Languedaude," offering a dedicated space for SCEAU. Other initiatives included recruiting trainees from the Ecole des Chartes, reactivating the "Ambassade" project, and compiling complete journal collections.

Administrative meetings in April 2007 in Vincennes are also mentioned, along with photographic documentation of these events. The issue includes a section on archival material related to 1954, specifically advertising for "soucoupe volante" (flying saucer) themed camembert cheese packaging, highlighting the importance of preserving such commercial and cultural artifacts.

A June meeting in Vincennes focused on the preliminary sorting of SOS OVNI archives and the classification of GEOS fonds, as well as extracting documents for AFU. The inventory and sorting team included Didier Charnay, Raoul Robé, Thierry Rocher, and Gilles Durand. Discoveries included theses and studies on Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) from the JFZ fonds.

Documentation Centers and Resources

The issue highlights the SCEAU documentary pole in Metz, accessible in June 2007, located 1.5 hours from Paris. This center offers access to ufological archives at the SCEAU documentary pole of Metz. It lists various archives and collections available, including those at the Departmental Archives of St Julien-les-Metz (Regional Archives of Lorraine), the fonds SCEAU/CNEGU, and the Médiathèque du Pontiffroy, which houses 852 books on ufology and parapsychology, 87 foreign language books, and 203 reviews.

Humorous Interlude

The issue concludes with a humorous piece titled "HUMOUR BRITISH..." which presents a stereotypical British view of French culture, humorously titled "Terrifying French invaders coming soon with their fucking culture and smelling cheese !!!" The translation provided is equally satirical, highlighting a playful cultural commentary.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of UFOmania, number 42, dated February 2005, focuses on the crucial role of archiving and preserving ufological data, highlighting the French association SCEAU (Sauvegarde et Conservation des Etudes et Archives Ufologiques).

SCEAU: Archivage & Sauvegarde des données ufologiques

The main article details the mission and operations of SCEAU, an association established under the French law of July 1, 1901. Its primary objective is the long-term preservation of ufological heritage, encompassing books, magazines, correspondence, investigation reports, studies, press clippings, and audiovisual or electronic documents related to UFO research. The association was founded due to the common problem of valuable ufological documents being dispersed, lost, or destroyed when their owners pass away or cease their involvement in the field.

SCEAU actively contacts individuals and organizations involved in UFO research, proposing archive cession contracts. These contracts allow donors to transfer their archives to SCEAU, with conditions for consultation defined by the donor, either during their lifetime or after their death. Even when donors believe they have few important documents, SCEAU's experience shows that valuable materials are often found.

After classification and detailed inventory, SCEAU deposits the documents in official archives, such as national or departmental archives. For documents that cannot be accepted by these institutions (e.g., due to legal deposit requirements), they are placed in public libraries with a conservation mandate. This approach ensures better preservation guarantees than private entities, whose long-term survival is uncertain.

SCEAU acts as a simple intermediary between the donor and the archive center or library. Its statutes mandate strict adherence to the donor's wishes, and the organization does not retain original documents. SCEAU also aims to raise awareness within the ufological community about the importance of preserving its heritage. They maintain connections with similar organizations like the SHG (Sign Historical Group) in the USA and the AFU (Archives for UFO Research Foundation) in Sweden, as well as researchers in Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland.

The association publishes an annual bulletin detailing the archives saved each year. SCEAU maintains a neutral stance on the nature of UFOs, believing that all documents, however seemingly trivial, should be preserved, as future researchers will determine their significance. These archives are considered potentially useful for specialists in physical sciences and human sciences alike.

SCEAU is also building comprehensive collections of ufological books and magazines. Several significant deposits have already been made, including nearly 500 books at the Médiathèque du Pontiffroy in Metz, 120 books at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, and about a hundred at the Maison d'Ailleurs (science fiction museum) in Yverdon, Switzerland. These collections are continuously enriched, and SCEAU aims for public access to these published works, even if the consultation of original archives may be restricted by privacy laws or donor wishes.

The article provides SCEAU's postal address (B.P. 19, 91801 BRUNOY CEDEX), email ([email protected]), and internet links.

The Editor's Opinion

The editorial section emphasizes the need for such archival efforts to extend across France, allowing departmental archives to house substantial documentation. It also suggests that independent researchers and private associations should benefit from donations, with the condition that the documentation be returned to a local library or SCEAU at a predetermined date or after the donor's death. This raises a significant question about the broader accessibility and management of ufological archives.

Rémy Fauchereau: Tracking UFO Testimonies in the Yonne

Another section highlights the work of Rémy Fauchereau, an ufologist from the Yonne department. He has compiled fifty years of UFO sightings in the region into a 28-page booklet, drawing from archives of the "Yonne Républicaine" newspaper and other sources. The article includes examples of reported sightings from the 1970s and 1980s. Fauchereau, who has investigated over two hundred cases without personally witnessing a UFO, is described as a cautious ufologist. His work has led him to be contacted by SCEAU, and he has been tasked with a census of UFO sightings in the Yonne department, resulting in 8000 pages of notes intended for departmental archives.

SCEAU in the Media

This section showcases SCEAU's presence in various media. It mentions an interview with Rémy Fauchereau on France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté's program "Ça manque pas d'air" in December 2007, alongside Patrick Combes and witness René Pihen. A conference-debate on UFOs held in Avallon in August 2007, featuring Fauchereau and Patrick Combes, is also noted. The article lists various video extracts related to ufology available through ovni-infos.fr, including observations from pilots and a giant UFO sighting in Phoenix, USA.

Rémy and the O.V.N.I.

This part further details Rémy Fauchereau's background as an ufologist. He has been fascinated by UFOs since childhood and, after studying biology, began to understand potential confusions with meteorites and military prototypes. Since 1999, he has been collecting testimonies of unexplained phenomena in the Yonne through the Association pour l'étude des phénomènes aériens. He recently published "50 ans de manifestations O.V.N.I. dans l'Yonne" (50 Years of UFO Manifestations in the Yonne), available for 6 euros.

TELESSONNE Broadcast

A segment from the "TELESSONNE" program on May 20, 2008, features "GLT & GDD live on TV." The article describes a TV project initiated by Sylvie Guégan, a journalist/producer at Téléssonne, who contacted Gérard Lebat and SCEAU for a program on UFOs in the Essonne department. The article recounts Lebat's experience during the live broadcast, where he presented SCEAU's mission and faced a challenging question from the presenter, Patrick Arditi, about the justification for preserving ufological archives. The segment also included Jean-Francis Crolard, an ufologist and author.

SCEAU on the Net...

This section details the publications of SOBEPS (Comité belge d'étude des phénomènes spatiaux), a Belgian organization that published the review "INFORESPACE" for 36 years. It lists available back issues of the review and mentions four books published by SOBEPS, all of which are now out of print but may be found through SCEAU. These include "Des soucoupes volantes aux OVNI" (From Flying Saucers to UFOs) and "La chronique des OVNI" (The Chronicle of UFOs), both by Michel Bougard. It also describes "Vague d'OVNI sur la Belgique" (UFO Wave in Belgium) and its sequel, "Vague d'OVNI sur la Belgique - 2: Une énigme non résolue" (UFO Wave in Belgium - 2: An Unresolved Enigma), both collective works detailing the Belgian UFO wave of 1989-1991.

Forum Sceptic OVNI UFO-Logic

This section presents excerpts from an online forum discussion in March 2008 regarding SCEAU. Participants discuss the archiving of documents, with some questioning the scope and effectiveness of SCEAU's work. Rosetta defends SCEAU, clarifying its mission is preservation and consultation, not necessarily publication, and highlights the challenging nature of archival work. B. expresses skepticism about SCEAU's impact compared to individual researchers like Patrick Gross and suggests digitization. Marius counters B.'s criticisms, emphasizing SCEAU's role as a necessary tool for those who reflect on ufology and refuting claims of inaction or lack of digitization efforts. The editor's note clarifies that SCEAU was not founded solely by skeptics and that its co-founders had diverse views on UFOs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the critical importance of archiving and preserving ufological data, the efforts of organizations like SCEAU and SOBEPS, and the ongoing research and documentation of UFO phenomena. The editorial stance appears to support the preservation of all ufological data, regardless of its perceived significance, recognizing its potential value for future scientific and historical study. There is also an emphasis on the collaborative nature of ufological research and the need for transparency and accessibility of archival materials, while acknowledging the challenges involved in such endeavors.

This issue of 'Le Monde des Archives' is a 'Revue de Presse' from 2007/2008, with a strong focus on ufology, particularly concerning the organization SCEAU (Service d'archives OVNI). The cover features a dynamic illustration titled 'Flying Saucers Archives', depicting a classic sci-fi scene of alien saucers attacking a city.

The SCEAU Debate: Preservation, Access, and Skepticism

The majority of the content revolves around a discussion thread concerning the SCEAU. Participants debate the effectiveness, accessibility, and methodology of the organization.

Key points of contention and discussion include:

• Effectiveness and Transparency: Some contributors, like 'B.', question the effectiveness and transparency of SCEAU, suggesting it has not been very active and has not published much of its archives, lacking a website. Others, like 'Rosetta' and 'Cortex', defend SCEAU, emphasizing its crucial role in preserving documents that might otherwise be lost.
• Accessibility of Archives: A significant part of the discussion focuses on how and where SCEAU archives can be accessed. It is clarified that archives are deposited in public departmental archives (Archives Départementales - AD) across France, not primarily in public libraries as some might assume. Consultation is generally free, though specific procedures and potential delays are mentioned. The need for volunteers to help with scanning and cataloging is repeatedly stressed.
• Methodology and Bias: The debate touches upon SCEAU's archival process. 'Cortex' questions 'B.' about whether he destroys documents that don't fit his convictions, contrasting this with SCEAU's stated policy of preserving everything deposited. The idea of SCEAU being run by skeptics who collect 'believers'' archives is also raised and debated.
• The Role of the Internet vs. Physical Archives: A recurring theme is the balance between online accessibility and the preservation of physical documents. While some argue that the internet is the key to information dissemination and that people won't travel to consult physical archives, others emphasize the unreliability of online information and the irreplaceable value of original paper documents. The environmental impact of online data consumption is also briefly mentioned.
• Volunteerism and Dedication: The issue highlights that SCEAU, like many such organizations, relies heavily on the goodwill and dedication of volunteers. The immense task of cataloging, preserving, and potentially digitizing thousands of documents is emphasized, with a call for more active members.

Specific contributions and details:

• 'B.' initially criticizes SCEAU but later engages in a lengthy defense of the internet's role and criticizes the perceived lack of online presence and accessibility of SCEAU's materials.
• 'Rosetta' provides links to SCEAU's website and related information, defending the organization's mission and the dedication of its volunteers.
• 'Lak' clarifies that SCEAU documents are deposited in public archives, not just public libraries, and that the idea of limitations is largely false.
• 'Cortex' explains the procedures for consulting archives in departmental archives and defends the necessity of preserving physical documents due to the unreliability and distortion of information online.
• 'Marius' and 'GDD' provide further details on SCEAU's archival efforts, including specific contracts with departmental archives in various French regions (Metz, Lille, Marseille, etc.) and the types of documents collected (reports, magazines, press articles, photos, books).
• 'Nemrod34' expresses a desire for a better online presence for SCEAU, suggesting a website with forums and information on accessing local archives, and offers his technical skills to help.

Title: Point de Vue
Issue Date: November 2007
Cover Headline: Documents numériques : attention, fragiles !

This issue of "Point de Vue" features a prominent article by Franck Laloë titled "Documents numériques : attention, fragiles !" (Digital Documents: Attention, Fragile!). The article addresses the critical and often overlooked problem of the limited lifespan and fragility of digital storage media, warning of potential severe consequences for the preservation of information.

The Fragility of Digital Storage

The article begins by highlighting the widespread use of digital formats for storing all kinds of information, from administrative data to artistic creations. The convenience, compactness, ease of search, and near-free copying of digital data have made it the dominant method for information storage. However, Laloë emphasizes that this method is inherently fragile, with supports exhibiting significant volatility. He contrasts this with the longevity of ancient forms of information storage, such as stone stelae or papyrus.

The problem is presented with two main components:

1. Obsolescence of Reading Devices: Digital information requires specific hardware and software to be read and interpreted. As technology evolves rapidly, the devices and software needed to access older digital formats quickly become obsolete, making the information inaccessible even if the storage medium itself is intact. An example cited is the DAT format for music recording, which has largely disappeared, making it difficult to find players.

2. Degradation of Storage Media: The physical media on which digital information is stored are subject to degradation over time. Magnetic tapes, for instance, can degrade within about ten years, with the magnetic oxide detaching and turning into dust. To preserve this information, it must be regularly copied onto new media. This process is undertaken by large libraries for their catalogs but requires constant vigilance.

Laloë raises concerns about whether all critical data, such as that collected by NASA during space missions, is being adequately and regularly backed up, especially if it hasn't been fully exploited yet.

The Limited Lifespan of Supports

Magnetic Media and Hard Drives

Magnetic tapes degrade within approximately ten years. The only way to preserve the information is to copy it onto new media periodically. This maintenance is costly, and a lapse in vigilance could lead to permanent data loss. The article questions whether all scientific data, for example, is being regularly saved.

Hard drives, which rely on magnetic orientation, also have a limited lifespan, comparable to magnetic tapes. Despite advancements in storage capacity, such as giant magnetoresistance, their longevity remains a concern.

Optical Media (CDs and DVDs)

Recordable CDs (CD-Rs) were once advertised as a permanent storage solution, but this is a significant overstatement. Many recordable CDs have a limited lifespan of only a few years, with some becoming unreadable within one or two years. This is a far cry from the longevity of paper photographs.

Newer formats like high-definition DVDs (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) were not designed with longevity in mind, prioritizing information density for commercial purposes.

A Problem Ignored by Manufacturers

Laloë notes a peculiar silence surrounding the gravity of this issue. He suggests that market forces alone are insufficient to drive the development of long-lasting digital storage media. The focus remains on storage capacity and recording speed, with manufacturers advertising "32 times faster recording!" rather than durability.

The Need for Public Initiative

Given the market's limitations, Laloë believes that public authorities must take the initiative. While the technical challenges are not insurmountable, the problem has not been identified as a priority by funding agencies. He points to efforts in France by institutions like the CNRS and the Ministry of Culture, which are involved in a scientific interest group (GIS-DON) to recommend solutions for digital optical media.

The Role of Public Awareness

For public and private sectors to collaborate effectively and address this urgent issue, broad public awareness is crucial. People need to understand the stakes involved and not wait until family memories or valuable scientific data are lost before recognizing the problem.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout the article is the inherent fragility of digital information and the urgent need for a proactive approach to its preservation. The editorial stance is one of concern and a call to action, emphasizing that the current trajectory of digital storage is unsustainable for long-term cultural and scientific heritage. The article advocates for a shift in focus from mere capacity and speed to durability and accessibility, urging for both technological innovation and increased public awareness to safeguard our digital memory.

This issue of L'Humanité, dated April 16, 2008, focuses on the critical debate surrounding a proposed law on archives in France. The main headline, "Des historiens dénoncent un projet de loi visant à limiter l'accès aux archives" (Historians denounce a bill aimed at limiting access to archives), sets the tone for the issue's primary concern.

The Debate Over Archive Access

The lead article details the strong opposition from historians and researchers to a bill that had passed the Senate and was set to be examined by deputies. Initiated by the Ministry of Culture, the initial project aimed to liberalize access to public archives by replacing the 30-year consultation delay with the principle of 'free communicability.' However, the Senate significantly altered the text, extending the delay for documents affecting 'private life' from 60 to 75 years and creating a new category of 'incommunicable' archives related to weapons of mass destruction and secret agents. Critics, including the Association des usagers du service public des archives nationales (Auspan) and the Comité de vigilance face aux usages publics de l'histoire (CVUH), argue that this bill represents a significant regression, potentially making archives related to the Algerian War inaccessible until 2037. They contend that this restriction threatens historical research, citizen freedom, and the democratic function of public archives. Historians like Sonia Combe and Benjamin Stora emphasize that such limitations, often justified by notions of 'private life' or national security, can obscure critical historical understanding and perpetuate a 'cult of secrecy.' The article highlights the contrast with other democracies, such as Germany, which have clearer legislation on private life concerning public acts.

Legal and Digital Challenges

Several articles delve into related issues concerning digital culture, law, and archives. Milad Doueihi, an historian of ideas, discusses the profound impact of the 'digital revolution' on society, comparing it to the printing press and industrial revolution. He notes that while the digital world appears democratic, large companies like Google and Microsoft exert significant control, and states can implement powerful censorship mechanisms. Doueihi stresses the importance of 'digital competence' for citizens to navigate this environment and avoid becoming passive, exploited users. He also touches upon the challenge of preserving digital information and the ethical questions surrounding choices in archiving.

Another section, "Droits dans l'arbre" (Rights in the Tree), by Pierre-Valéry Archassal, addresses the legal complexities of genealogy in the digital age. It clarifies issues of privacy, intellectual property, and the reproduction of public archives. The article explains that while archives under 100 years old are generally protected, there are exceptions and nuances, particularly regarding public versus private life. It also discusses the right to access and rectify personal data online, emphasizing that information about deceased individuals less than a century old may not be protected if their heirs do not contest it. The concept of intellectual property is also examined, distinguishing between the content of archives and their digital presentation.

Historical Perspectives on Archives

A historical piece by Bruno Delmas profiles Camus, an archivist of the National Archives during the French Revolution. It highlights his dedication and continuity in the role, emphasizing his contribution to establishing the legal and administrative foundations of the French state through his work with the archives. Camus's efforts to preserve key documents and ensure the continuity of the rule of law are presented as a vital service to the nation.

Ufology and Archive Destruction

A section on "CAS DRAMATIQUES DE DESTRUCTION D'ARCHIVES UFOLOGIQUES" (Dramatic Cases of Ufological Archive Destruction) reports on the loss of ufological research materials due to neglect and lack of preservation. Freddy Sosson of the Commission Consultative de Recherche Ufologique (C.C.R.U.) laments the destruction of valuable collections, including those of Roger Lorthioir and François Verhoeven, and calls for the creation of a European foundation to centralize ufological information.

Humor and Bibliophilia

The issue includes a humorous cartoon titled "HUMOUR BIBLIOPHILIQUE" (Bibliophilic Humor) that playfully connects crop circles, ley lines, and UFO sightings with bibliographical themes, suggesting a mysterious alignment attracting researchers in the 22nd century.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the tension between transparency and secrecy in accessing historical information, the evolving legal landscape in the digital age, and the importance of archives for historical research and democratic accountability. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of open access to archives, critical of legislative measures that restrict this access, and supportive of the role of historians and researchers in uncovering and interpreting the past. The articles collectively advocate for a robust legal framework that protects both the integrity of historical records and the public's right to access them, while also addressing the new challenges posed by digital technologies and the need for informed citizenship in the information age.

This issue of "LES ARCHIVES, MÉMOIRE DU MONDE" (Archives, Memory of the World), published by 'Le Point' and covering the period 1997-2008, focuses on the importance of archival preservation across various domains, with a significant emphasis on ufology.

Mikis Theodorakis Archives

The issue highlights the donation of the complete personal archives of Greek musician and composer Mikis Theodorakis to the Lilian Voudouri Musical Library in Athens on December 16, 1997. These archives include not only musical scores but also political texts, poems, essays, speeches, posters, concert programs, and documentation about his life. The article notes that the collected pieces from his father alone amounted to 78 large bound volumes.

Edith Piaf: Unearthing the Unreleased

On July 1, 2003, it was reported that five previously unreleased songs by French singer Edith Piaf had been discovered at the National Library. Recorded in 1943 on copper matrices, these tracks were never commercially released. The discovery comes as the 40th anniversary of her death approaches, with speculation that these recordings would soon be available to the public.

Hippocrates Rediscovered in the Desert

This section, attributed to the Charlotte Olivier Foundation, describes the ancient city of Chinghetti in Mauritania, a holy city known for its libraries. The city faces the challenge of encroaching sand dunes, but its historical significance as a former caravan stop and center of learning is emphasized. Scholars in Chinghetti work to preserve medieval manuscripts on subjects ranging from Islamic law and Sufism to astronomy, astrology, and classical Arabic poetry, contributing to global knowledge.

Oases Saved by Manuscripts: Mauritania

Published on January 16, 2007, this article details the ongoing efforts to salvage thousands of manuscripts in the ancient Mauritanian cities of Chinguetti, Ouadane, Tichit, and Oualata, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. These cities were once vital centers of desert universities and pilgrimage routes. The manuscripts, some dating back to the 11th century, are preserved in various conditions, from old colonial canteens to administrative filing cabinets. The article notes that these treasures, threatened by time, sand, termites, and neglect, have been a focus of scientific attention since the 1930s. A preservation effort has been underway for about twenty years, focusing on works related to the Quran, Islamic science, poetry, grammar, law, family chronicles, astronomy, and Arabic medicine. The Habott family library in Chinguetti is highlighted, containing 1,400 manuscripts, including an 11th-century medical treatise by Avicenna. The article also discusses the impact of tourism on these sites, with tour operators like 'Le Point Afrique' offering trips that aim to link tourism with local development, creating jobs but also raising concerns about environmental and cultural preservation.

Unreleased Beatles Track: 'The Carnival of Light Rave'

This section, posted on November 16, 2008, discusses an unreleased Beatles song titled 'The Carnival of Light Rave'. It is described as the band's first experimental track, composed in 1967 and performed at the Roundhouse Theater on January 28 and February 4, 1967, as part of an event promoting underground artists. The article notes that while most Beatles demos have been officially or unofficially released, this particular track remains entirely unreleased.

Ufology as a Component of Popular Science History

The magazine posits that ufology is an integral part of the history of popular sciences and the sociocultural history of humanity. It argues that history is shaped not only by major figures and events but also by the cumulative impact of smaller contributions and their preserved archives.

Inventory of the SCEAU Archives (Bouches-du-Rhône)

This extensive section details the inventory of the SCEAU (Sauvegarde, conservation des études et archives ufologiques) archives, donated to the Departmental Archives of Bouches-du-Rhône in February 2008. The collection spans from 1913 to 2008 and occupies 2.40 linear meters, comprising 26 articles. The SCEAU, founded in March 1990, aims to preserve ufological heritage. The inventory includes various categories: French ufological and related journals (1958-2004), foreign ufological and related journals (1972-2008), non-ufological journals (1976-2003), CERPA (Center for Study and Research on Aerospace Phenomena) documents (1980-2006), GREPO (Group for Research and Study of the OVNI Phenomenon) documents (1975-1987), and miscellaneous items (1956-2008). Specific journals listed include 'Les Extraterrestres'/'Hypothèses Extraterrestres', 'APRO Bulletin', and 'Inforespace'. The archives also contain correspondence, press clippings, research reports, and publications related to UFO sightings and studies.

Case Study: Alamogordo, New Mexico (1957)

This section critically examines a photograph of a supposed aerial object taken on October 16, 1957, near Alamogordo, New Mexico, by Ella Fortune. The article, referencing 'The APRO Story', presents the photograph and details provided by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). It highlights the APRO's claim that experts confirmed the photo's authenticity and estimated the object's size. However, the magazine also contrasts this with the original, full-frame photograph, suggesting that cropping and manipulation (inverting, color alteration) can lead to misleading interpretations and speculations. The text emphasizes the importance of viewing details within their original context to avoid erroneous conclusions about phenomena.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently emphasizes the critical importance of preserving archives, whether they are musical scores, literary works, historical manuscripts, or research data related to ufology. The editorial stance champions the meticulous work of archivists and researchers in safeguarding cultural heritage and knowledge from dispersion and loss. It advocates for the contextual understanding of evidence, particularly in the field of ufology, warning against speculative interpretations based on decontextualized details. The magazine promotes the idea that even seemingly minor contributions and archives form crucial parts of human history and scientific development.

This issue of the magazine, identified by page number 101, focuses on the "UFO Over Holloman Base" photograph taken in 1964. The cover presents the iconic black and white image, accompanied by a caption that identifies the photographer as a government employee and notes the claim by conspiracy theorists that it proves U.S. government contact with aliens. A French-language subtitle questions whether the photo actually depicts a lenticular cloud under specific conditions.

This document comprises scans from multiple issues of UFOmania magazine, a French ufological publication. The primary focus is on issue number 30, dated February 1994, which features a special dossier on a triangular UFO sighted by 230 people in the Sedanais region. The magazine also includes sections on recent ufological news, internet resources, and a forum for discussions.

Beyond the specific issue, the document details the archival efforts related to ufology, specifically highlighting the fonds (collections) of Erika Flynn and François Paget. These sections provide insights into the historical collection and organization of ufological materials.

Archival Content: Erika Flynn Fonds

The Erika Flynn fonds is described as a collection of associative activities that led to ufological archives being housed at SCEAU. This collection originated from an encounter at the Marjolaine salon in November 2008 between Gilles Durand, Jacques Scornaux (from AUT/FNAUT-IdF and MDB associations), and Erika Flynn. Flynn, a volunteer, shared her personal spiritual quest archives, accumulated since the 1990s, which are predominantly in English. These archives include materials related to 'Phénomènes Spatiaux' from GEPA, and connections with Michael Hesemann of 'Magazin 2000'. The inventory of this fonds was done by Gilles Durand in February 2009.

Archival Content: François Paget Fonds

The François Paget fonds is presented as a collection of a ufophile who was active from the 1960s. Paget collected press clippings from regional and local newspapers, as well as magazines like 'Bonne Soirée' and 'Paris-Match', and 'Science & Avenir'. He studied classic cases like Quarouble and contacted ufological associations such as AAMT, CIES Ouranos, GNEOVNI, and the revue LDLN. He also acquired notes from GEPAN. Paget witnessed an event on November 5, 1990, in Ile-de-France, and wrote to SEPRA about it. His fonds, though described as small, contains over 120 press clippings, primarily from 1967-1972, and an exceptional document: an internal report from CCIR-UIT on the SETI project dated 1978. This fonds was discovered online in 2006 and its recovery was managed by Gilles Durand, who also created the inventory in 2008.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are ufology, paranormal phenomena, archival preservation, and the activities of ufological associations and individuals. The magazine and associated archives demonstrate a long-standing interest in UFO sightings, extraterrestrial hypotheses, and the historical documentation of these subjects. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry and documentation, as evidenced by the detailed listings of correspondence, conferences, and archival fonds. There is a clear effort to catalog and preserve the history of ufological research and related cultural activities.

His collaboration with the revue "Planète" and his expertise in methodology are noted. Michel is particularly known for his "Orthoteny" theory, developed from the 1954 UFO wave in France. This theory posited that UFO sightings within a short period were aligned along great circles on Earth, with the "BaVic" (Bayonne-Vichy) line being the first identified. The document mentions that this hypothesis was definitively refuted in 1976 due to computer simulations and identified errors in testimonies.

His bibliography is extensively presented, showcasing numerous books and articles on ufology, mysticism, and the animal world, published in various journals such as "Arts, Science et Vie," "Monde et Vie," and "Planète." His involvement in cultural workshops in Cefalù, Sicily, on the theme of "Life in Sidereal Universe" is also mentioned.
