L'AMERIQUE POSSEDE-T-ELLE DES CADAVRES D'HUMANOIDES? (Part 1)

This article, adapted from the official UFO monthly of the National Ufological Center of MILAN, features an interview with Leonard H. Stringfield by Gray Baker. Stringfield, a researcher with 25 years of experience in ufology, discusses his involvement with the 5th Air Force in the Pacific during WWII and his founding of CRIFO in Cincinnati in 1953. He also details his collaboration with the Air Force and his role in NICAP from 1957 to 1970, as well as his coordination of the 'Colorado Project' for Professor Condon. Since 1970, he has been on the board of MUFON. The article highlights Stringfield's announcement of new evidence concerning captured saucers. The informant's knowledge of an UFO accident in 1952 at Edwards Air Force Base (USAF) in California, reported by his radarist brother, is recounted. The brother had followed the object's fall on radar and learned details from officers.

Further testimonies are presented:

• Wright Patterson Air Force Base: Parents of a MUFON researcher learned from a neighbor, a guard at the base, about a large truck transporting an object covered in canvas, with transparent cases containing the bodies of small, large-headed humanoids.
• Fort Monmouth, New Jersey (1953): A radar operator witnessed a special screening of a military film showing a crashed disk-shaped object on the ground, surrounded by military personnel. The film also showed the bodies of three small humanoids with large heads, lying on tables inside a tent. The witnesses were urged to reflect on the presentation and not speak about it.
• Arizona Crash Site: An Atomic Energy Commission engineer and other specialists investigated a UFO crash site. The engineer reported on details of the object and had a conversation with a colleague who had seen a humanoid about 1.20m tall in a tent. This report was signed by the witness to researcher Ray Flower.
• Major Daly's Examination: A USAF major, an expert in metals, examined an accident-damaged UFO, described as identical to previous accounts.
• Wright Patterson Air Force Base (1953): A National Guard officer observed a DC 7 aircraft delivering boxes containing the bodies of small humanoids (approx. 1.20m tall) with large heads. He learned from the pilot that one of the beings was female and the UFO was found using equipment from Mount Palomar.
• Conrad, Montana (1953): A merchant witnessed a cigar-shaped object crash, emitting smoke and flames. He was interrogated by USAF officials at Greatfalls Air Force Base and threatened if he revealed the event. Upon leaving, he saw soldiers carrying bags with human forms.
• Wright Patterson Air Force Base (1955): A woman working at the base witnessed the transport of two small, large-headed beings.
• Wright Patterson Air Force Base (1966): A civilian employee obtained a photo of a small, disproportionate-headed humanoid's body. He recounted a story of a saucer crash and a struggle between a humanoid and soldiers.
• New Mexico (1962): According to a church member, a UFO landed and contained two small humanoids in suits.
• Wright Patterson Air Force Base: An informant's father reported that his cousin, a USAF major, had documented the story of a crashed UFO and its occupants found dead and preserved at the base.
• Roxwell, New Mexico: An aeronautical engineer and his team investigated a field where metallic, paper-thin objects were found.
• Southwest USA (1957): A sergeant learned from a general about a UFO crash, identified by radar, containing the bodies of four humanoids (approx. 1.50m tall) with large heads, who were calcined. This was confirmed by a retired colonel.
• Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada: A detached unit approached a landed UFO. A powerful light beam from the object paralyzed a colonel. Attempts to fire weapons failed.
• Wright Patterson Air Force Base (December 10, 1964): A soldier was sent with his patrol to an UFO landing site to disperse onlookers. The object was undamaged.
• Wright Patterson Air Force Base (1966): A civilian under USAF contract saw nine small, cryogenically preserved beings, along with three other bodies and a UFO carcass.

Jérome Clarke, writing in UFO REPORT, criticizes Stringfield for not revealing the names of his informants or signed testimonies, relying instead on accounts from third parties, often decades after the events.

PROJET PSI CONTACT: BILAN DES SOIREES EXPERIMENTALES

This section presents the results of experimental sessions for the 'Psi Contact' project. A chronological table details 12 sessions held between June 7, 1981, and September 5, 1981. The table includes the date, duration, times, location (Mt-Afrique and Francheville), and results (indicated by '+' signs, suggesting positive outcomes).

• Means employed for these experimental sessions:
• A: Radio calls on a continuous frequency.
• B: Psychic calls made by sensitives.
• C: Luminous calls only upon the arrival of a UFO or the signal from a dog or other detection device.
• D: Other detection or alarm means (a dog named RUBY).

The report notes that the commission and project team typically consists of 6 people, but in later sessions, other observers attended, causing a slight perturbation that ultimately resulted positively.

CALENDRIER DES SEANCES D'OBSERVATION

A bar chart illustrates the duration of experimental observation sessions by month (June, July, August, September). The total duration of experimental sessions is listed as 32 hours and 19 minutes.

• Experimental Durations:
• JUNE: 10H 05mn
• JULY: 12H 33mn
• AUGUST: 9H 41mn
• TOTAL: 32H 19mn

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alleged encounters with humanoids, and the investigation of these phenomena. The magazine also explores related fields such as parapsychology and hypnotism, suggesting a broad interest in anomalous experiences. The editorial stance, as expressed in the editorial section, is one of encouraging open investigation and the sharing of information, urging readers to overcome fear and secrecy. While presenting various testimonies and research, the publication clarifies that it does not necessarily endorse the views of its contributors, emphasizing individual responsibility for the content.

This issue of a French ufology publication, identified by the issue number '.10.' and '.II.' on different pages, focuses on the 'Projet PSI CONTACT' and related topics. The content includes graphical data on UFO observations, detailed accounts of extraterrestrial encounters, and an exploration of hypnosis as an investigative tool in ufology. The primary language of the publication is French.

Projet PSI CONTACT: Results and Findings

The 'Projet PSI CONTACT' aims to conduct a contactological investigation into UFO contact cases. The results from a three-month period (June-August) are presented, detailing 18 observations of unidentified objects, with two of long duration (50-70mm) and 15 of short duration. Additionally, 5 psi contacts were recorded, two of long duration (50-70mm) and three of short duration. There were also 8 animal reactions, three before and five after UFO observations. Three radio contacts were made, one of which involved testing a new field method. Experimental sessions included a dog's reaction to a UFO and a specific dog named RUBY reacting between 23:00 and 01:00. Two photographic sessions yielded images of an unknown object. Out of 13 experimental evenings, only two were negative.

The document outlines three phases of observation: Phase 1 (first UFO of the evening, 22:00-00:18), Phase 2 (second UFO, 23:13-00:20), and Phase 3 (subsequent observations, starting around 01:00). The distribution of UFO sightings across these phases is 10 visual observations in Phase 1, 4 in Phase 2, and 4 in Phase 3.

A distinction is made between the first experimental part, which yielded numerous radio, psi, and photo contacts, and a second part where, after a negative evening, only fugitive observations and multiple animal reactions occurred.

The 'CAS ADAMSKI' Condensed

This section provides a condensed chronological account of George Adamski's encounters, starting from November 20, 1952, with a Venusian in the Californian desert. Subsequent encounters include meetings with beings from Mars and Saturn, boarding alien craft, and receiving explanations on various topics. Descriptions of the craft vary in size, from 5 meters to significantly larger vessels. The beings are described with physical characteristics such as eye color, hair, and attire. Adamski's experiences involve dialogues on natural laws, cosmic principles, philosophy, and religion. The final contact on August 23, 1954, involved a journey to a mothership, a demonstration of Venusian landscapes, and a farewell.

Descriptions of Extraterrestrial Beings

Detailed descriptions are provided for several extraterrestrial pilots encountered by Adamski, with the caveat that these names might not be their true designations. These include:

• ORTION (Venusian): Wears a light brown ski suit with orange stripes, has a radiant smile, and is about 1.65m tall. Another man of similar build and suit was also seen.
• RAMU (Saturnian): Around 1.80m tall, in his thirties, with a ruddy complexion, brown eyes, and hair styled in the 1950s fashion. He wore a dark brown business suit.
• FIRKON (Martian): Approximately 1.70m tall, under 30 years old, with a young, round face, fair complexion, and blue-grey eyes. His hair was sand-colored. He wore a grey suit and had a gentle voice.
• KALNA (Venusian): A 20-year-old blonde woman, 1.65m tall, with very fair skin and golden hair. Her eyes were described as golden, conveying softness and gaiety. Her features were finely chiseled, with small ears and white teeth.
• ILMUTH (Martian): Over 1.70m tall, with a warm complexion, black hair cascading below her shoulders, and luminous black eyes with reddish highlights. She wore a warm green robe and copper sandals.

A general description of a 'divine being' is also provided, characterized by a radiant appearance, androgynous features, and an impression of profound wisdom and compassion.

'I AM A CONTACTEE': Reflections on Contact

This section, authored by Patrick Vachon, discusses the phenomenon of being a 'contactee.' The author acknowledges the skepticism surrounding this claim, comparing it to the early reception of UFO theories. The article highlights that few ufologists dedicate research to contact phenomena, which is considered a fantastic revolution representing the meeting of two different intelligences and civilizations. The author mentions a group within C.E.C.R.U. studying these individuals, with a file containing about two hundred cases.

Key questions explored include: How to define a contactee? Why are they chosen? What is their purpose? The author posits that contact is the logical culmination of the UFO phenomenon, an evolutionary mechanism. The history of UFO sightings is traced from ancient texts to the modern era of flying saucers, suggesting an intelligent presence behind the craft.

The author proposes that a contactee must correspond to a precise, yet elusive, specification. Through analyzing dossiers, collecting data, and identifying similarities, a 'robot portrait' of the contactee could be developed. The contactee is often described as a simple, modest individual with average intellectual potential, who may struggle with social expression but possesses a unique ability to connect with others. They are often solitary and in need of contact themselves, mirroring the witness of a UFO sighting who may fear speaking out.

The article suggests a 'phase of incubation' before a contactee decides to share their message or remain within a restricted circle. It emphasizes the necessity of psychological study for understanding both the UFO phenomenon and contactees.

The section concludes by posing the question: 'IS THIS THE MUTATION?'

Hypnosis in Ufology

This section, authored by Geoffroy Patrick, examines the role of hypnosis in ufology. The author clarifies that hypnosis is not sleep but a distinct state of the brain, used in various scientific fields like medicine and policing, but less so in ufology.

While hypnosis cannot serve as direct proof, it is considered a valuable tool for complementary investigation and verification. The article notes that hypnotizing a witness years after an encounter might be unreliable due to memory alterations. A preferred method involves hypnotizing a trained subject, often with other witnesses, to conduct verification and research.

Two induction methods are mentioned: verbal and magnetic. Magnetic induction is described as faster for verifying UFO cases and contacts. The process under hypnosis includes suggestions, interference control, memory recall, temporal regression, visualization, and post-hypnotic suggestions, with varying intensity based on the subject's fatigue. The author cites approximately 40 sessions conducted in 1980, yielding significant results, including the case of Fontaine.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the investigation of UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and the psychological aspects of witnesses and contactees. The publication appears to adopt a serious, research-oriented stance, employing data analysis, case studies, and investigative techniques like hypnosis to understand these complex subjects. There is a clear interest in the 'contactee' phenomenon and the potential for inter-species communication and evolution. The editorial stance supports the systematic study of these phenomena, moving beyond mere anecdotal reporting to deeper analysis.
