Circulaire CNEGU - No 26 - Series 2 - 1993 dec

Magazine Overview

This document is page 1 of 14 of the "CIRCULAIRE CNEGU", issue number 26, dated December 1993. It is a French-language publication from France, likely a newsletter or bulletin focused on ufology.

New Observation

A "NOUVELLE OBSERVATION" is reported, detailing a sighting near Chinon. The gendarmerie transmitted a camcorder document to a specialized study center in Toulouse. A family observed a strange ballet of "blue balls arranged in a circle, rotating around themselves" and also around their car. This observation was noted in "La Nouvelle République du Centre Ouest" and "le journal du Cher" on March 14, 1993. The circular suggests this might be related to another observation cited in CCNEGU n°26, page 2.

Messages

JPDN has sent a letter to "Mystères" with remarks and suggestions, particularly regarding a photo from Albiosc. A copy of this letter is available upon request.

The publication thanks its contributors for regularly sending information and clarifies that the circular's purpose is to collect and transmit UFO-related information. They express a preference for synthesized and typed information to save time, as managing the circular takes up considerable effort. They also thank those who help and encourage those who only read to make a small effort.

A question is posed: "Can C.A.D.A. be used like the F.O.I.A. (Freedom Of Information Act) in the USA to update documents concerning UFOs held by the army and other intelligence agencies?" This refers to CCNEGU n°26, page 5.

Clarifications

Regarding CCNEGU n°19, page 10, the title of the "Joker" episode is clarified as "les 2 soeurs jumelles".

Regarding the journal "Rien que la vérité" (CCNEGU n°26, page 12), the source is identified as Gamma Features, Press Images, Italy, November 1993. The article is about "E.T. exists and I met him!", detailing the "incredible testimony of the young Filiberto" who allegedly photographed an extraordinary being, half-man, half-monster, that regularly prowls near his house. The being is described as 70 cm tall with large black eyes, expressing itself through groans. Photos are mentioned, and the story is presented as leaving many skeptical.

Possible Misidentifications (MEPRISES)

Air et Cosmos: Issue n°1443 (18-24.10.93) features a cover story on the "Aurora dossier", with detailed articles on the Aurora spy plane (pages 24-30). The information is based on B. Sweetman, an American author. The article discusses clues such as technician observations, sonic booms in California and Northern Europe, the withdrawal of SR-71s, and analysis of photos from "Zone 51". It covers the aircraft's appearance, propulsion, and budget. The article includes a reserved opinion from the Federation of American Scientists, which compares the sudden appearance of "phantom planes" to the flying saucer phenomenon that affected America in the 1950s-60s. It does not exclude the existence of the TR-3A "Black Manta", a flying wing reconnaissance aircraft with a 18m wingspan and 12m length, with 25 to 30 units possibly based at Holloman and Tonopah. Numerous reports of mysterious triangular flying objects are also mentioned.

Page 2 continues the "Air et Cosmos" report and adds other media mentions:

C+: November 12, 1993, 7 AM, CBS News (Washington) broadcast a report on the Aurora project. It included Jim Mori (U.S. Geological Survey) reporting 8 supersonic booms heard that year. TV reported the Air Force purchasing land around a secret test site in Nevada, with satellite photos showing a lengthened runway. Aviation expert Bill Sweetman stated the Aurora has a range of 8000 km and reaches 6400 km/h. The TV also showed an article where Donald B. Rice, Secretary of the Air Force, denied the existence of the Aurora, showing F117 images. The report questioned who to believe, the Secretary or the toy manufacturer. A toy manufacturer is mentioned as having developed a network of people called "desert rats" who see planes flying over California and Nevada. John Pike (Fed. of American Scientists) suggested people want to believe in hidden machines. The report concluded that if Aurora doesn't exist, it will be invented, questioning the cause of the sonic booms.

F2: November 12, 1993, JT 20H reported the unveiling of the "Blackbird" spy plane, stating that after its missions ended, there was no reason to hide it. Its speed (7000 km/h) and stealth made it undetectable. It has been replaced by the Aurora aircraft, about which only amateur photos of its trail are available.

(December 4, 1993) Asnières, Nanterre, La Défense (Hauts de Seine): Numerous witnesses, including police and gendarmes, reported observing a slightly luminous circle, about forty meters in diameter, rotating and moving slowly.

F2: November 12, 1993, JT 20H: "The spy plane Blackbird finally unveiled. A year after the end of its missions, there is no longer any reason to hide it.

The new focus of espionage is the economy, with budget and staff reductions in government agencies (e.g., CIA) and an acceleration of "intelligence privatization." The report also covered French companies, with a Toulouse laboratory director mentioning a large US operation on intense electromagnetic fields, budgeted at 128 million dollars. The broadcast concluded with a debate on "economic intelligence."

Thus, buried vestiges are revealed and hidden. The documentary discusses the discovery of tombs and burial grounds from the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Somme region, which form striking patterns in the cereal fields. These indicate sacred sites. Large parallel patterns fading in the mist are due to modern tractors unaware of the buried vestiges. At Mont-Catelet, cereal growth was slowed by buried walls, causing the wheat to become pale and yellow. The article suggests a parallel with English circles.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings and related phenomena, media coverage of UFOs and related topics (including military technology and aerospace), and the dissemination of information within the ufological community. The publication actively collects and shares reports, analyses media content, and poses questions about information access (like the FOIA comparison). There's a clear emphasis on documenting and discussing UFO-related events and discussions across various media platforms, while also attempting to clarify or correct information (e.g., the "Joker" episode title). The editorial stance appears to be one of information gathering and sharing, encouraging reader participation, and critically examining media reports and official statements regarding UFOs.

This document is a compilation of press reviews from November and December 1993, primarily focusing on UFOs, extraterrestrials, and related phenomena as reported in various French and international publications.
