UFO Informations - No 23-26 - 1979

Magazine Overview

This issue of UFO. INFORMATIONS, identified as number 23426 and dated 1979, is a French publication dedicated to the investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related phenomena. The cover features a dramatic illustration of a disc-shaped UFO over a cityscape, with the prominent headline "Commission d'enquetes sur les OVNI" (Commission of inquiries into UFOs).

Editorial

The EDITORIAL section, written by M. DORIER, addresses the difficult necessity of increasing subscription and issue prices for 1979. The author explains that despite efforts to improve the bulletin's presentation and content since 1976, and relying on external support from conferences, financial sustainability remains a challenge. Previous initiatives to boost subscriptions and sales met with limited success. As a non-profit association, they face commercial pressures and, compared to commercially-driven publications, must ask for a greater effort from their loyal readership to continue their work.

Dossier Observations

This section compiles various UFO sighting reports from around the world:

• Italy: A UFO reportedly disabled a small electrical power plant in the Grand Sasso mountains. Two employees witnessed control panel needles go wild before the plant shut down, followed by the sighting of a luminous sphere.
• Argentina: Three employees of a company in Cordoba were allegedly transported 15 kilometers by a flying object while in their company car.
• Bahrain: Two young women in Issa Town reported seeing a "flying saucer" hovering above the city. Another witness allegedly photographed the object, and instruments at the local electrical plant were found to be out of order, with no rational explanation.
• Japan: A woman from Hiroshima reportedly predicted three UFO appearances in her city, which were subsequently witnessed by numerous people. One sighting lasted three minutes, with the object described as luminous and moving from southeast to northwest.
• United Kingdom: Hundreds of Britons reported seeing an unidentified flying object (OVNI) over the northeast coast, described as "ovoïde and brilliant." Some specialists suggested it might be a meteorite.
• Australia/New Zealand: Australian journalists filmed a fleet of about forty flying objects over Christchurch, New Zealand, which were also detected by ground radar. The film shows an oval-shaped object, extremely bright, with mysterious white lines, estimated to be over a hundred meters long.
• Argentina: A twelve-year-old boy in Loreto claimed that two extraterrestrials landed in a UFO and maintained him immobile for a long period. This event coincided with a power outage in the village.
• France: A pisciculturist from Saint-Mathieu reported seeing an extraordinary apparition at 10:04 PM on January 6th. He described a large, circular object, about fifteen meters in size, with a luminous cabin emitting faint hisses, which hovered and then disappeared at high speed towards Douarnenez. A general power outage affected Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer at the time of a reported sighting of a luminous object by M. Raymond Poppel.
• Bulgaria: The press reported a strange phenomenon over Pleven, where hundreds of witnesses saw two identical, moon-sized unidentified flying objects hovering motionless at about 1000 meters before ascending vertically.
• Brazil: A farmer in Pernambuco reported seeing three-meter-tall beings emerging from a cave, described as "strange robots" with antennas and square limbs.
• Italy: A night watchman in Genoa, M. Zanfretta, claimed to have been abducted twice by "tall green men" in a triangular craft. His testimony, recorded under hypnosis, described the beings as having pink veins on their heads and triangular yellow eyes. Colleagues noted he was unusually warm, and the roof of his car was burnt.
• Spain: Approximately fifty inhabitants of Sabadell reported daily contact with extraterrestrial beings from the planet "Ganymede."
• France: A mysterious OVNI was reportedly sighted by a family in Mizerieux, causing a powerful light to flood their dining room. Six witnesses saw a large, immobile sphere, like a sieve, the size of a car, covered in multicolored lights, which then moved away.
• Spain: José Trinidad Losada reported his house being filled with a strange light, and the electrical system failing, suggesting either an OVNI or a malfunction in high-tension cables.
• Spain: Two civil guards in Tejeda del Tietar reported seeing a luminous phenomenon of intense green-yellow color that approached their vehicle, causing it to decelerate significantly before disappearing.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the widespread nature of UFO sightings across different continents and the persistent reports of alleged extraterrestrial encounters. The magazine presents a variety of cases, from technological interference by UFOs to direct contact with non-human entities. The editorial stance, as expressed in the editorial, is one of continued investigation and a call for support from the readership, acknowledging the financial challenges faced by such publications. The overall tone suggests a commitment to documenting and analyzing these phenomena, despite the difficulties.

This issue of the magazine, identified as issue number 9 and volume 17, published by C. Nordmann, features a cover story titled "La prophetie de Saint-Malachie" (The Prophecy of Saint Malachi), with the subtitle "(suite)" indicating it is a continuation. The publication date is given as January-February 1977. The magazine is in French.

The Prophecy of Saint Malachi

The article begins by introducing the prophecy of Saint Malachi, a list of 111 papal mottos dating back to Pope Celestine II (1143-1144). Although considered apocryphal, the text notes its unusual precision, allowing for calculations regarding the era of the last pope. The author intends to analyze these calculations and other 'apocalyptic predictions' after providing an overview of the 'eschatological context' and its potential connection to ufology.

The common interpretation among believers is that the last pope signifies the 'end of the world' or a major global cataclysm. The pseudo-Malachi prophecy concludes with a description of the 'last persecution of the Holy Roman Church,' the reign of a 'Roman Peter,' and the eventual destruction of the 'city with seven hills' followed by a 'terrible judgment.' This phrase is analyzed for its socio-psychological and religious context, linking it to the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse).

The text quotes Revelation 18, describing the destruction of 'Babylon the great,' and Revelation 19, referring to the judgment of the 'great prostitute.' The author suggests that these powerful words, evoking fear and insecurity, resonate deeply with Christians due to their Jewish cultural heritage.

Prophets and Divine Communication

The article emphasizes the role of prophets in the Old Testament as guides for the people of Israel, speaking on behalf of God. Prophets were inspired seers who reminded people of divine law, exhorted, consoled, and edified them. The Bible describes God communicating through words, visions, and dreams. The text cites Ezekiel, warning against prophets who follow their own spirit without divine vision.

It explains that in ancient times, particularly in Israel, government was theocratic, with the king acting as God's representative. Prophets, or 'nabî' (interpreters of divinity) and 'ro'èh' (seers), served as advisors. The article notes that while biblical prophecy was highly valued, other forms of divination were considered grave offenses, as God reserved the monopoly of foretelling the future for Himself.

The Concept of Judgment and Salvation

The concept of divine judgment is presented as a powerful force influencing human actions, with rewards and punishments. The anticipation of a Messiah offers hope for a better future. The text references Malachi 4, which foretells the coming of Elijah before the 'great and dreadful day of the Lord.'

Apocalyptic Myths and Human Fallibility

Mircea Eliade's work is cited regarding the Tupi-Guarani belief in a concrete paradise, a world without sin, sickness, or death. This paradise was later transformed into an apocalyptic myth, possibly influenced by Jesuit teachings or a general sense that the world had become too old and needed destruction and renewal.

The article contrasts this with the biblical narrative, where Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise for 'sinning,' specifically 'sinning through knowledge.' Throughout the Bible, God judges his people, and Jesus is seen as redeeming humanity from sin. The final judgment of 'Great Babylon' is foretold.

The notion of judgment is inseparable from the concept of an afterlife, as judgment comes from God in heaven. Christianity is described as an 'eschatological factum,' where the community sees itself as belonging to the 'beyond.'

The Advance of Knowledge and Danger

As human knowledge advances, its application becomes virtual, creating a balance between good and evil. The more technology benefits humanity, the more it is fraught with danger. Faced with the impossibility of reversing this trend, some envision a catastrophic destruction of all knowledge-based progress, leading to a return to a primitive, 'golden age' state, perhaps a collective unconscious desire for a lost paradise.

Extraterrestrial Life and Interstellar Travel

The magazine then shifts focus to the study of UFOs and the broader topic of extraterrestrial life and interstellar travel, independent of UFO sightings. It discusses attempts by American professors to establish contact with Martians, including listening for radio-telegrams and using high-altitude balloons, which proved unsuccessful.

Charles Nordmann, writing in "LES ANNALES," explores the idea of interstellar communication and travel. He notes the establishment of a prize for work advancing 'intersidereal navigation' and contrasts it with a previous prize for communicating with another planet. Nordmann discusses the historical fascination with 'canals on Mars,' debunking them as optical illusions.

He also addresses the question of 'HOW TO ESCAPE THE EARTH?' and speculates on future scientific progress. Nordmann suggests that in thirty years, interplanetary communications will have advanced significantly, with initial steps towards the Moon. He questions the human desire to find similar beings elsewhere, suggesting that the universe's impassivity might hold a greater grandeur.

The Challenges of Space Propulsion

Further discussion on space travel highlights the immense energy required. Professor Pio Emanuelli's statements are quoted, indicating that the problem of extraterrestrial travel is on the agenda. The article mentions the proposal by Professor Goddard to use a rocket with a magnesium flare to signal the Moon upon impact, requiring a highly advanced rocket and a powerful propellant.

To escape Earth's gravity, a projectile must reach a speed of approximately eleven kilometers per second. The explosive required for such a feat would need to be incredibly powerful. The text calculates that a hydrogen-oxygen mixture, while potent, would necessitate a propellant weight forty thousand times greater than the vehicle itself, making interplanetary travel currently unfeasible.

The Future of Energy and 'Astronautics'

The article posits that in a few centuries, with the inexhaustible reserves of intra-atomic energy, interplanetary travel might become possible. However, it remains uncertain if humanity will be able to harness this energy. The term 'ASTRONAUTIQUE,' coined by J. H. Rosny, is introduced to describe interstellar navigation.

Emile Belot on the Plurality of Worlds

Emile Belot, in his book "ENSEIGNEMENTS DE LA COSMOLOGIE MODERNE" (1932), discusses the concept of the plurality of inhabited worlds. While acknowledging that only a few planets might support life as we know it, he argues that billions of planets likely possess similar habitable conditions. Belot suggests that the Creator could give thinking beings vastly different forms and conditions of life. However, the 'UNITY OF PLANETARY GENETICS' suggests a universal application of these laws.

Belot concludes that the existence of billions of planets makes the idea of inhabited worlds, with thinking beings not much different from humans, a scientific certainty. He also considers the existence of 'SIDEREAL HUMANITIES OF ALL AGES,' suggesting that older civilizations might possess advanced reason and science far beyond our current understanding, urging humility in humanity's scientific endeavors.

A Critique of "Et si les OVNI n'existaient pas?"

The final section reviews a book by Mr. Monnerie titled "Et si les OVNI n'existaient pas?" (What if UFOs didn't exist?). The author, A. Chaloin, criticizes Monnerie's work for its lack of foundation, hasty generalizations, and imprecise reasoning. Chaloin finds Monnerie's arguments fantastical, citing examples like the idea that a 'waking dream' can immobilize a car or that 'UFO dreams can leave traces on the ground.'

Chaloin accuses Monnerie of hypocrisy, calling ufologists 'sick' while exhibiting his own biases. He criticizes Monnerie's vocabulary, noting the repetitive use of terms like 'unconscious' and 'subconscious.' Chaloin, identifying himself as a long-time ufologist with field experience, expresses disappointment with Monnerie's work, deeming it a 'ridiculous work' that has misled many.

Chaloin concludes that Monnerie, who presents himself as a moralist, should understand that insults are not valid arguments. He finds the terms 'ufobsessed' and 'ufomaniacs' used by Monnerie to describe dedicated researchers to be unworthy of someone claiming to be open-minded.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around prophecy, eschatology, and the intersection of religion, science, and the unknown. The magazine explores biblical interpretations of the end times and their potential parallels with modern concepts like ufology and extraterrestrial life. There's a clear interest in speculative science, particularly concerning space travel and the possibility of other civilizations. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, examining both religious and scientific viewpoints, while also providing a platform for debates within the ufological community, as evidenced by the critique of Monnerie's book.

This issue of "Les Pays Arabes et les OVNI" (Arab Countries and UFOs), published around March 1979, focuses on the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and their potential connections to geopolitical events, scientific inquiry, and historical accounts.

UFO Sightings in the Arab World

The magazine reports on recent UFO sightings in Kuwait, noting that two appearances occurred within a single week. It also references an earlier sighting in Iraq six weeks prior, where a flying object was described as crystalline, lightning-like, and rounded, resembling a flying disk or spaceship. The article questions whether these sightings are an American invasion or a cosmic one.

Geopolitical Context and Oil Prices

A significant portion of the issue connects the UFO appearances to the dramatic events in Iran, the subsequent freeze on oil production, and the rising oil prices. The author suggests that the Kuwait sightings coincide with a tour by the US Treasury Secretary to Gulf countries, implying a potential link between the UFO phenomenon and US efforts to influence oil policies and stabilize prices to protect the American and Western economies.

Scientific Investigations and Official Stances

The magazine highlights the work of GEPAN (Groupe d'Études des Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non-identifiés), a French research group. It reports on GEPAN's activities in 1977 and 1978, focusing on verifying 'Type D' reports (unidentifiable objects). GEPAN's findings suggest that while many reports are misinterpretations, about 20% remain unexplained. The article also notes that neither Washington nor Moscow officially announce possessing UFOs, yet both capitals maintain a shared silence on the matter.

UN Discussions on UFOs

The issue details a UN general assembly held in New York on December 8, 1978, which addressed agenda item 126: the creation of an organization or department to research and coordinate research on unidentified flying objects. The Prime Minister of Grenada, Sir Eric Gairy, advocated for the importance of this research, viewing it as crucial for humanity and for solving global problems. The UN commission recommended adopting a consensus to acknowledge Grenada's declarations and resolutions concerning UFOs.

Historical and Ancient Accounts

The magazine draws parallels between modern UFO testimonies and ancient accounts of prodigies in Rome. It cites Julius Obsequens, who described phenomena such as fiery torches, spherical objects resembling shields, and luminous globes of fire in the sky during the first century AD. These descriptions are presented as eerily similar to contemporary UFO reports.

Academic and Scientific Perspectives

Jean Guitton, an academician, shares his intellectual journey in considering the existence of UFOs. He proposes a physico-chemical hypothesis, suggesting that UFOs might result from the interaction of psycho-physical or mythical-material beings with our intellectual and moral universe. The article also mentions the work of Iossif Chklovski, who emphasizes the ethical implications of the question of whether humanity is alone in the universe.

Alternative Medicine and Health

A section discusses the growing interest in non-traditional medicine. A SOFRES poll indicates that 34% of French people have used such methods, with over 50% wishing for greater inclusion of homeopathy, acupuncture, and phytotherapy in medical training. The article highlights various types of healers, including those who use plants, prayers, and even magnetism to treat ailments.

Astronomical Predictions and Catastrophes

The issue touches upon the sensational claims of a 'parade of planets' in 1982, where all planets would align on one side of the Sun. This event is predicted to cause unprecedented catastrophes. However, the article presents a more skeptical view, citing astronomers like Victor Sokolov, who used computer simulations to show that the planetary alignment would not be a straight line but a sector of about 65-105 degrees, and that similar alignments in 1805 and 1845 did not result in disasters.

Soviet Research and UFOs

Soviet research is also mentioned, including collaboration between Soviet and American scientists in the Bermuda Triangle region. The article notes that Soviet research vessels participated in studies of atmospheric vortices in the area, which are linked to powerful cyclones and anticyclones.

Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to present a balanced view, reporting on UFO sightings, scientific investigations, historical parallels, and geopolitical implications. It encourages readers to consider the phenomenon seriously, without succumbing to simplistic or purely theological explanations. The overall tone suggests an open-minded yet critical approach to the subject of UFOs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "Les Pays Arabes et les OVNI" consistently explores the intersection of unexplained aerial phenomena with global politics, scientific research, and historical context. The editorial stance is one of cautious inquiry, presenting various perspectives from official reports, scientific analyses, and anecdotal evidence. There's a clear effort to link UFO sightings to contemporary events, particularly those concerning international relations and resource control (oil). The magazine also seems to advocate for a more open and serious approach to studying the UFO phenomenon, moving beyond mere sensationalism or dismissal. The inclusion of ancient accounts and discussions on alternative medicine suggests a broader interest in phenomena that lie outside conventional understanding. The recurring theme is the persistent mystery of UFOs and their potential significance for humanity, whether as a geopolitical tool, a natural phenomenon, or something more profound.

This issue of "TRIBUNE LIBRE" (Volume 240, January 1979) features a cover headline discussing "DISCUSSION SUR LE PRINCIPE DE RELATIVITÉ" (Discussion on the Principle of Relativity) by Serge CABALA. The magazine also includes a report on a UFO sighting and an investigation by GEPAN, as well as a communiqué from J.C Bourret.

Discussion sur le Principe de Relativité

Serge CABALA's article delves into the principle of relativity, positing that while physical formulas of relativity are experimentally verified, it does not necessarily mean the principle is universal. He argues that these formulas might be derivable from other, simpler laws that do not adhere to relativity. CABALA uses the example of the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems describing planetary motion, which are contradictory but yield the same apparent motion. He emphasizes the need to dissociate the physical formulas (like Lorentz transformations and E=mc²) from the relativistic philosophy, suggesting that considering only the formulas stripped of their philosophy allows for the acceptance of other theories explaining the universe.

The article further explores a manuscript that studies vibrating strings in classical mechanics, claiming to derive results of special relativity and quantum/wave mechanics from it. It details the mathematical treatment of waves on a string, including their energy, reflection, and the force exerted by a reflecting wave on a plate. The concept of a "photon" is introduced in this context, with the relation E=hF being conserved during reflection. The author suggests that matter could be understood as stationary waves in an elastic medium, and electromagnetic and gravitational fields as vibrational states of this medium. He also notes the possibility of speeds greater than 'c' for phenomena not tied to the string's vibration, without contradiction.

CABALA proposes an alternative to Einstein's elimination of the ether, suggesting that the contradiction between corpuscle and ether notions can be resolved by retaining the ether and replacing the concept of matter with "stationary waves in motion," aligning with wave mechanics.

GEPAN Proposal

A section titled "UNE PROPOSITION DU GEPAN" (A Proposal from GEPAN) outlines a plan to generalize the systematic use of simple and inexpensive optical networks for analyzing photographed luminous sources. These networks are said to capture 20% of emitted light and are easy to use. GEPAN is collaborating with specialized laboratories for detailed analysis and has resolved technical issues with industrial partner JOBIN-YVON. The success of this initiative depends on the potential market for these networks, and interested individuals are asked to indicate their purchase intentions. The price per unit is estimated at 70F.

Dossier Enquêtes: Pursuit by Venus or Luminous Hedgehog

This section details a UFO sighting that occurred on December 10, 1978, between 06:05 and 09:00 AM in the Assieu region of France. The report, compiled by GEPAN investigators Michel Figuet and Luc Vincent, describes two witnesses, M. Mabillon and M. Reguillon, who observed a round, yellow, non-blinding light. The object appeared to follow their car horizontally and later remained stationary. The phenomenon was also observed by Mabillon's family. The report includes a detailed timeline of the sighting, the locations visited by the witnesses, and the testimony of other individuals, including gendarmes and a journalist.

The GEPAN investigation, which included a site visit and interviews, concluded that the phenomenon was the planet Venus. However, witness accounts describe the object as having characteristics that deviate from a simple planetary observation, such as its apparent size, movement, and interaction with the environment (e.g., affecting a cyclomotor's engine). The report notes discrepancies in reported distances and sizes, and the witnesses' fear and confusion.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of physics and unexplained phenomena. The article on relativity challenges conventional understanding and proposes alternative interpretations rooted in wave mechanics. The GEPAN report, while concluding a conventional explanation for a UFO sighting, presents detailed witness testimony that highlights the puzzling aspects of the event. The magazine appears to maintain an open-minded yet analytical approach, presenting scientific discussions alongside reports of anomalous observations, encouraging readers to question established paradigms and consider new possibilities.

This issue of 'Les Incedules' (The Unbelievers) is dated 1979 and focuses on UFO sightings and related phenomena. It is published by the Association des Amis de Marc Thirouin and appears to be a regional publication from the Drôme-Ardèche area of France.

Witness Account: The Surieu Sighting

The primary article details a UFO sighting that occurred near the D.134 road, involving witnesses M. Mabillon and M. Reguillon. The phenomenon was first observed near Saint-Romain-de-Surieu, where it remained stationary. As M. Reguillon returned home, he was alerted by Mme X, who also saw a luminous point. Initially, Mme X identified it as the 'Evening Star' (l'étoile du Berger).

M. Reguillon, upon reaching his home, woke his family, and they all observed the fixed luminous point in the direction of Beaurepaire. The report notes that later, on December 17th, it was revealed that the phenomenon was actually the planet Venus, a fact that surprised Mme Reguillon.

M. Mabillon continued his journey on his cyclomoteur along the D.134. Approximately 300 meters from the village, he observed the 'phenomenon' to his right, seemingly hovering above a row of poplars. He described the object as having the shape of a rugby ball, about 3 to 4 meters long and 2.50 meters high, with 'antennas' and 'legs'. The object was surrounded by a bearable orange and green glow. M. Mabillon reported hearing a faint 'pff' sound.

The report clarifies that M. Mabillon had just completed an eight-hour night shift at the Rhône-Poulenc factory, which is a noisy environment. It also mentions that a farmer, M. Finand, was present but saw nothing, though he confirmed the Evening Star was visible in the direction indicated by M. Mabillon.

Further details suggest that M. Mabillon made a U-turn and attempted to alert a garage owner, without success. During the observation, M. Mabillon's cyclomoteur reportedly slowed down and stalled. The report speculates that M. Mabillon, possibly frightened, may have mishandled the controls, causing the engine to cut out on the uphill road.

In a Q&A section, M. Mabillon clarifies that his rear lighting was not functioning, and he had used a flashlight. The report notes that the rear lamp and reflector were indeed missing from his cyclomoteur.

The gendarmes of Roussillon and a journalist from 'Le Dauphiné-Libéré' arrived at the scene around 07:15 and took photographs of the phenomenon, which reportedly moved slightly and disappeared around 09:15. The photos were transmitted to the national gendarmerie and the press.
