Manifestations

Attention is drawn to the 29th session of CNEGU, which might be moved to earlier in February due to potential interference with "Parapsy 88".

Parapsy 88

Parapsy 88 is scheduled to take place from February 13 to 21, 1988, at the Forte de Versailles in Paris. The BIDU has secured exhibition space and a conference room for daily sessions from 6 PM to 7 PM. They are seeking assistance at their stand and offering to present information about readers' activities. Interested parties are encouraged to contact BIDU for more details.

Misidentifications (MEPRISES)

Two cases of misidentification are detailed:

• Doubs: A case involving a weather balloon mistaken for a UFO. The article is referenced for a joint copy.
• Versailles (November 28, 1986): A witness reported a light moving in a misty atmosphere behind Versailles Castle. Investigation by BIDU revealed the light was from rotating projectors of the air security for the prison of Bois d'Arcy.

Further articles on possible humanoid misidentifications are mentioned as being on the last page.
