UFO Informations Flash Association AAMT - No 13

Magazine Overview

This issue of "FLASH ASSOCIATION", identified as number 13 and dated July 24, 1976, is published by the "ASSOCIATION DES AMIS DE MARC THIRDUIN" (Association of Friends of Marc Thirduin), specifically its "COMISSION D'ENQUETES SUR LES O.V.N.I" (Commission for Investigations into UFOs). The publication originates from Valence, France, with a regional delegation covering the Drôme, Ardèche, and Vaucluse areas. The magazine focuses on UFO research and related phenomena.

Working Groups and Activities

The issue details the progress and activities of working groups established following the General Assembly on November 26, 1975. The goal was to enhance individual knowledge and the association's effectiveness in studying UFOs through shared experiences and opinions.

Parapsychology Group

Formed after a meeting on February 28, 1976, the parapsychology group comprises a majority of members and has met numerous times. Its work is set to resume in September, with a focus on serious and persistent experiments and reflections aimed at understanding the human mind and its potential connection to UFO phenomena. The group seeks to demystify diverse phenomena that may appear illogical to the uninitiated.

UFO Study Group

Also formed on February 28, 1976, this group has met twice. Its activities are not dormant, as it requires extensive, elaborated work for broader confrontation. The group's objectives are to conduct research and analysis, including regional investigations, regrouping and comparative analysis of observations, and sky watch sessions. They aim to contribute foundational elements to the construction of truth regarding UFOs.

Contributions and Perspectives

J.M. Fournier

Fournier emphasizes the need for patience from the association's leaders, noting that while the group is working effectively, plausible results will only materialize in the long term.

Monsieur Piveteaud

Piveteaud discusses the importance of group constitution and work organization, advocating for comparative analysis of research. He suggests that to explain UFO phenomena, one must seek inner knowledge of humanity. He proposes yoga as a physical discipline to achieve profound self-discovery, emphasizing the need for individuals to be harmoniously connected to the universe. He believes that apparent truths divide us, while profound truth unites, and that UFOs will be explained once we understand the true nature of reality.

Monsieur Lentz

Lentz agrees that yoga can be beneficial for individuals, but notes that acquiring mastery of the paranormal requires more than just practice. He suggests that sports, when pursued selflessly and with willpower, can lead to similar results when combined with mental meditation and knowledge. He also proposes a novel method for contact with UFOs using the atomic numbers of Hydrogen (Z=1), Carbon (Z=6), Nitrogen (Z=7), and Oxygen (Z=8), transmitted via light pulses.

Research Methods and Equipment

The UFO study group's work involves general research methods and the exploitation of existing data. They aim to understand the mysterious human brain and its potential to apprehend UFO phenomena. The group acknowledges that their aspiration is modest: to contribute to the construction of truth. They stress that study, reflection, and research are the surest means to be heard effectively.

Regional Investigations

Current regional work includes developing a comprehensive questionnaire in collaboration with A.J.P.E.S., preparing a catalog of regional observations from Drôme-Ardèche-Vaucluse, and systematically analyzing inquiries to clarify details. The group also plans to intensify "detection-measurement" phases in collaboration with specialized organizations like A.D.P.P.S. and S.V.E.P.S. to interpret physical messages potentially left by UFOs.

Detection Equipment

Members are encouraged to participate in detection efforts by acquiring the K.1.B.P. detector from A.D.E.P.S. or the D.V.T.E.C. detector from S.V.E.P.S. The issue expresses a hope for a standardized detection apparatus across the national territory.

Public Outreach and Events

The association has organized a series of public presentations and debates in various towns during the summer vacation period. Scheduled events include meetings in Pont-en-Royans (August 7), St Jean-en-Royans (August 13), and La Chapelle-en-Vercors (August 21), all at 9 PM. Contact with local MJCs, mayors, and cultural organizations is encouraged to facilitate these events.

The association will also present its ufological documents at the 40th Dauphiné Fair in Romans-Bourg de Péage from September 25 to October 3, 1976, thanks to the efforts of member André Chaloin.

A new telephone number for the association's permanent contact is provided: (75) 44-58-48.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the importance of organized research, individual contribution to knowledge, and the demystification of phenomena through rational inquiry and personal discovery. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious, methodical investigation into UFOs, integrating psychological and potentially spiritual aspects (like yoga and universal connection) into the study. There is a clear call for collaboration, standardization of methods, and public engagement to advance the understanding of UFOs. The underlying belief is that a deeper understanding of truth, both personal and universal, will eventually lead to the explanation of the UFO phenomenon.
