Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.
This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

L'effet tunnel surprenant de la chimie interstellaire - MAGONIE
Malgré toute mon estime et mon amitié pour Jean-Gabriel Greslé, je me sens
obligé d'attirer l'attention sur les violentes controverses qui ont agité
l'ufologie américaine et internationale sur les documents "Majescic 12", en
particulier le gros paquet divulgué à partir de 1998 par l'ufologue californien
Timothy Cooper, largement repris par JG Greslé dans son nouveau livre
"1942-1954. La genèse d'un secret d'état".
Cooper a dit qu'ils lui avaient été fournis par un informateur anonyme,
surnommé "Cantwheel", et on ne sait pas vraiment d'où ils viennent, en fait.
Voir à ce sujet un extrait, ci-joint, de mon livre OVNIS vers la fin du
secret ? L'analyse de ces documents suggère fortement qu' ils ont été
manipulés, ce qui amène à suspecter une dose de "désinformation amplifiante",
selon le principe : mélanger des vérités avec des mensonges qui seront vite
dénoncés. Je signale que l'auteur du livre Clear Intent, justement
cité par Greslé p. 9 (Greenwood et non pas Randle, mais Randle aussi !) est de
ceux qui ont totalement rejeté les documents de Cooper... Il y a deux
documents nouveaux, signés Roosevelt, au début du livre, qui n'échappent pas à
cette critique. Un élément qui me paraît particulièrement suspect est la
découverte supposée d'un "moteur atomique" et de matières fissiles (U 235,
plutonium) à bord d'une soucoupe en1941 ou 1942, qui aurait aidé les Américains
à fabriquer leurs premières bombres atomiques... Là, ça "craint" énormément
!
Quand j'aurai fini la traduction du livre de Leslie Kean, j'espère fin
juillet, je me propose de revenir là-dessus plus en détail dans un nouvel
article.
Cordialement G.B.

1998-1999 : une avalanche de nouveaux de documents
Les critiques virulentes contre le document
SOM1-01 sonnaient-elles le glas de laffaire Majestic-12 ? Pas du tout, car une
nouvelle vague, plus importante, ne tarde pas à arriver : un premier lot de 125
pages en 1998, puis un paquet plus important encore en 1999, le total
atteignant alors près de 2 000 pages. Depuis lors, dautres documents ont
encore fait leur apparition, mais en moins grand nombre, semble-t-il, et de
moindre intérêt.Le contenu du premier
lot, de 1998, porte toujours sur la découverte et létude secrète des ovnis
accidentés, à partir de 1947. Ce sont le Dr Robert Wood et son fils Ryan qui en
dévoilent lexistence à une conférence à New Haven le 11 octobre 1998. Le Dr
Wood est lun des chercheurs les plus réputés en ufologie. Docteur en physique
de luniversité Cornell, il a fait toute sa carrière à des postes de
responsabilités dans lindustrie aérospatiale américaine, notamment la société
McDonnell-Douglas. Son fils Ryan est un ingénieur en informatique qui a
travaillé dans de grandes entreprises : Intel, Digital, Toshiba.
Les Wood étudiaient depuis un certain temps
ces documents qui leur avaient été fournis par le chercheur californien Timothy
Cooper. Celui-ci dit les avoir reçus dun agent des services secrets quil
appelle Cantwheel, mais dont il ne donne pas lidentité véritable. Ces
documents sont rendus disponibles en novembre sur internet, sur le site de
Joseph Firmage, un jeune homme daffaires qui a fait fortune dans
linformatique à la Silicon Valley, et qui sest reconverti de manière
spectaculaire dans la recherche sur les ovnis (11). Signalons quil sen est
maitenant retiré et na ainsi fait quune brève carrière ufologique. Pour sa
part, le Dr Wood les publie sous forme dune brochure de 190 pages de grand
format, The Majestic Documents,
reprenant également les documents précédents (12).
Une fois de plus, les critiques pleuvent.
Certaines sont graves et il devient vite évident que ces documents sont pour la
plupart, sinon en totalité, des fabrications, en dépit des arguments de Wood
père et fils. Il serait beaucoup trop long de les détailler, mais donnons quand
même ici une idée de ce débat, ainsi que du contenu des documents, qui nest
pas non plus sans intérêt. Le premier document est une curieuse étude, datée de
juin 1947 et signée par les deux grands physiciens Robert Oppenheimer et Albert
Einstein, intitulée Relations avec les habitants de corps célestes. Le texte
est intéressant, mais comporte des fautes bizarres, dès le titre. Le mot
céleste est écrit en anglais celestrial
au lieu de celestial, ce qui fait
douter. Dans une analyse convaincante, le physicien Bruce Maccabee déclare le
document faux. A cela Wood répond quEinstein, le véritable auteur, ne
maîtrisait pas bien langlais, et sa secrétaire non plus !
Les documents suivants tournent autour de la
découverte dun ou plusieurs véhicules accidentés en juillet 1947. Il y est
question, bien sûr, du crash de Roswell, mais les choses se compliquent un peu.
Ce sont :
-une
instruction (Field Order) donnée
début juillet à une unité spécialisée, la Interplanetary
Phenomenon Unit (IPU) de se rendre immédiatement sur les lieux ;
-le
résumé de lIPU, document de sept pages daté du 22 juillet. Celui-ci décrit
sommairement la découverte de deux objets volants entre le 4 et le 6 juillet,
lun près de Corona, site LZ-1 (LZ, pour Landing
Zone) on reconnaît là le ranch de Brazel - et lautre à environ 30 km au
sud-ouest de Socorro, près dOscura Peak, proche du site de lexplosion de la
première bombe atomique. Sur ce deuxième site, on a trouvé cinq cadavres,
denviron 1,50 m de haut, la peau gris rose, pas de cheveux, le corps mince,
vêtus dune combinaison ajustée, à lépreuve du feu. Ils sont sexués mais de
manière peu visible. Dautres corps ont été trouvés près du site LZ-1, ainsi
que des parties de corps danimaux à lintérieur de lappareil à LZ-2. Peu
après la découverte, quatre techniciens sont tombé gravement malades et trois
sont morts dhémorragie ;
-une
instruction donnée le 8 juillet au général Twining de se rendre à White Sands
pour faire une évaluation des ovnis qui y sont conservés ;
-un
rapport de Twining du 16 juillet, de trois pages, intitulé Air Accident Report, qui décrit la
soucoupe trouvée près de Victorio Peak (site absent de la carte routière du
Nouveau-Mexique : faut-il comprendre Oscura Peak ?), en forme de beignet
denviron 10 m de diamètre (35 pieds). A lintérieur, un compartiment suggère
la présence possible dun moteur atomique. Les scientifiques allemands de
Fort Bliss et White Sands (cest là quétait notamment von Braun) nont pu
identifier cet appareil comme un engin secret humain. Selon Oppenheimer et von
Karman, cest le corps même de lappareil qui pourrait faire partie du système
de propulsion (une idée qui figurait déjà dans le livre du colonel Corso :
lappareil pourrait se charger électriquement ) ;
-un
mémorandum du CIG ( Central Intelligence
Group, précédant la CIA qui va être mise en place le 18 septembre, le même
jour que lUS Air Force). Daté du 19 septembre, et signé Hillenkoetter
(Directeur du CIG puis de la CIA dans la foulée), ce texte dune seule page
dévoile lexistence dun troisième site, à 50 km (30 miles) à lest du terrain
daviation dAlamogordo (plus tard Holloman), découvert le 5 juillet !
-vient
ensuite un Mission Assessment, de
19 pages, daté du 19 septembre, qui inaugure le sigle ULAT pour désigner les
ovnis ( Unidentified Lenticular ShapedAerodyne ). Là, il y a un petit
problème : les deux zones de crash sont inversées. LZ-1 est placée près de
Socorro ;
-enfin,
une pièce importante, non datée mais écrite daprès le contexte en 1952, le
Premier rapport annuel du Groupe Majestic-12. De nouvelles précisions sont
apportées, sans toutefois clarifier complètement ce scénario daccidents en
série. On y évoque léjection à haute altitude dun cylindre de sauvetage (escape cylinder) à la suite dune
collision entre deux soucoupes dorigine interplanétaire. Des cinq corps
retrouvés, deux étaient dans le cylindre. Mais la suite nest pas claire,
envisageant lhypothèse assez incroyable dune collision avec un appareil
expérimental (on a observé la fusion de trois spots radar). Mais après tout,
quen savons-nous ?
Ces pages ont été, bien entendu, passées au
crible par les sceptiques et, dès les premiers jours a éclaté une première
grenade, le mot retro-virus qui apparaît dans le document de 1952. Or le mot
nexistait pas encore à cette date. Le physicien Jack Sarfatti, qui se situe
sur laile avancée de lufologie américaine (il a eu une rencontre rapprochée
impressionnante dans son enfance) a recommandé aux Wood dadmettre lerreur,
mais ils nont pas voulu reculer, même sur ce point. Un autre gros pépin a été
la mention dune vieille légende ufologique, la disparition dun régiment
Néo-Zélandais à Gallipoli, dans les Dardanelles en 1915. Or il a été prouvé que
cette histoire était fausse. Erreur fatale, proclame alors Barry Greenwood,
de plus en plus sceptique, dans son bulletin Just Cause !
Pour couronner le tout, Timothy Cooper finit
par être soupçonné de les avoir fabriqués, y compris le document SOM1-01. Le
Britannique Timothy Good dévoile en septembre 1999 que certains défauts
typographiques apparaissent à lidentique sur des lettres quil a reçues de
Cooper. Est-ce le coup de grâce ? Certains lannoncent déjà, comme Jan Aldrich,
ancien militaire très hostile à toutes ces histoires (Roswell compris), qui
sexclame sur internet : Clouons tous ces dindons ! (Lets nail these turkeys!). Cela dit, sur cette question des
défauts typographiques notés par Timothy Good, le Dr Wood réplique quil a fait
étudier le problème par un expert, or celui-ci na pas jugé largument décisif,
car ce type de défaut peut être commun à de nombreuses machines.
Si ces documents sont faux, vient alors la
question : qui les a donc fabriqués et dans quel but ? La plupart des
sceptiques ne poussent pas très loin la réflexion : pour eux, ce sont des faux
fabriqués par des escrocs qui veulent faire croire à toutes ces calembredaines
! Qui croire ? En réalité, cette énorme quantité de documents apparus de
manière mystérieuse ces dernières années pourrait bien illustrer ce processus
de divulgation progressive de linformation, déjà évoqué plus haut, qui serait
poursuivi par certains services secrets désireux de débloquer à terme le verrou
du secret, mais sans provoquer une explosion médiatique. Le jeu consisterait à
toujours maintenir le doute en fabriquant des documents délibérément entachés
derreurs. Ainsi, de linformation est mise en circulation mais on empêche
lopinion de semballer. On pourrait comparer cela aux barres de contrôle dune
pile atomique qui lempêchent dexploser (si tout va bien). Au congrès
international de Laughlin, de mars 2000 au Nevada, les Wood père et fils ont
encore défendu avec une belle énergie leur point de vue radical, à savoir que
ces documents sont essentiellement authentiques. Ils sont dailleurs attelés à
une lourde tâche, lanalyse de plus de mille pages de nouveaux documents quils
ont reçues de Timothy Cooper en 1999, et quils ont lintention de divulguer
progressivement sur internet. Jai soumis à Ryan Wood cette idée de divulgation
progressive avec des erreurs délibérées, mais je ne lai visiblement pas
ébranlé. Il ne semble pas que la question ait beaucoup avancé depuis lors.
Lautre hypothèse, plus brutale, reste bien sûr celle de la désinformation amplifiante,
pour discréditer lufologie. Celle-ci semble être pertinente dans dautres cas,
comme laffaire Bennewitz, et quelques autres épisodes de révélations trop
sensationnelles, quil faut rappeler maintenant, en revenant en arrière au
début des années quatre-vingts.
The
next episode in our series is titled Canada's Official UFO Studies. We will
explore two of Canada's UFO reporting agencies: Project Magnet and Second Story,
both established in the early 1950's. Also we will examine some details of the
infamous Shag Harbor UFO incident. This case is one of the very few where a
government agency formally acknowledges an unidentified flying object. It was
determined that no known aircraft was involved in the incident, so the source
remains unknown to this day.

JULY 8TH
GEN. RAMEY ROSWELL MESSAGE. Researcher for the International UFO Museum and
Research Center. He is also head of the computer department of the Eastern NM
University in Roswell and spent time in the Army as a criptographer. Through
computer enhancement and his experience in deciphering code, Don has been able
to read much of the text on the letter in the photo.
The photograph was
taken on July 8, 1947 by a news photographer, Bond Johnson. The glossy print
Donald used was taken directly from the original negative.
The letter was
typed on a teletype which has a fixed width for each letter. This realization
helped Don in his task. The deciphered text is below. I have used italics where
Don was uncertain about the letter and asterisks where a letter or word is
missing. The translation is broken by the lines on the original letter. Some
words are missing due to the position of the letter in Ramey's hand and the fold
in the letter.
So, here it is:
RECOVERY OPERATION WITH ROSWELL
DISK 274 (OR 074?) MJ -12 AT THE *WORD MISSING* AND THE VICTIMS OF THE
WRECK YOU FORWARDED TO THE TEAM AT FORT WORTH,TEX. M*SS***
(MISSING OR MESSAGE?) ON THE "DISK" MUST HAVE SENT *** (THE?) *****
LABORATORY *WORD MISSING* *R*ENT (URGENT?). POWERS ARE NEEDED SITE TWO AT
CARLSBAD N. MEX. *WORD MISSING* SAFE TALK NEWSPAPER MEANING OF STORY AND
*WORD MISSING* NEXT SHOW *WORD MISSING* OF WEATHER BALLOONS 400-K* 509
AND LAND L*** DENVER CREWS. TEMPLE (Signature Line)
Now, lets see
what we can learn from this. The letter obviously mentions a disk at Roswell but
we all knew it had crashed there. It mentions Denver crews. The Lowrey Army Air
Fore Base in Denver was the mortuary for the Army in 1947. So that fits. The
Army normally calls people, civilians or military, who are killed in a crash
"casualties" rather than "victims". The word "victims" externalizes the issue.
"They're not OUR people."
The "TEMPLE" in the signature line was a secret
CIA classification, like paging Dr. Blue or Dr. Red in a hospital. But there was
a Major Temple on the staff of General Dolittle in 1947. Dolittle was sent to
Sweden in 1946 to investigate UFO's sighted there. So there is a connection
there.
The most interesting revelation is the mention of Carlsbad. There
has never been a mention of Carlsbad as a possible site of a UFO crash. Louis
Rickett was assigned to Carlsbad in 1947. Don has done some preliminary research
into the possibility of a crash there. He has discovered that a military group
from White Sands Missle Range visited Carlsbad the week before the Roswell
crash. And, several Civil Air Patrol groups from California visited Carlsbad
arriving on C-64 transports and Army planes. That's a lot of military "field
trips" to the Caverns. Don is now pursuing a review of the visitor's logs of
Carlsbad Caverns for that period to see if these soldiers signed in. I'll keep
you posted!
Je
ne les ai pas tous lu mais il semble que certains articles soient plus
neutres...
Voir par exemple l'article ci-dessous :
OVNI ou pas OVNI ?
D'une certaine manière, Google relance le débat autour du 66ème
anniversaire de l'affaire Roswell, l'une des plus retentissantes et des plus
étranges affaires autour de la présence ou non de débris provenant d'une
soucoupe volante extra-terrestre sur le sol terrien. Le 4 juillet 1947, le fermier William "Mac" Brazel et son fils
découvrent "une large zone de débris brillants, bandes de caoutchouc, feuilles
d'étain, un papier plutôt dur et des barres", comme ils l'ont expliqué au
journal Roswell Daily Record. Partageant leur découverte avec leur plus proche
voisins, ces derniers conseillent au fermier de s'adresser au représentant de
l'ordre le plus proche. Au shérif, ils seront plus expéditifs en disant qu'ils
pensent avoir assisté à un crash d'une soucoupe volante, d'un objet volant non
identifié, ou OVNI.
Le 8 juillet, le lieutenant Walter Haut,
représentant du Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), fait un premier communiqué de
presse à la demande du colonel William Blanchard commandant de la base de
Roswell. Il y annonce qu'ils ont récupéré une soucoupe volante écrasée près d'un
ranch à Roswell. Cette annonce, qui déclenchera les passions des médias à
l'époque, se succédera un autre communiqué expliquant qu'il ne s'agissait que
d'un ballon sonde. Tentative d'étouffement de l'affaire ou bonne foi de l'Air
Force ? Le débat reste ouvert, l'affaire sagrémentant régulièrement d'éléments
venant confirmer ou infirmer chacun des bords.
C'est ce premier
communiqué qui est célébré par Google en ce 8 juillet, à travers un Doodle
interactif prenant la forme d'un mini-jeu où l'utilisateur dirigera un
extra-terrestre qui devra utiliser certain objets sur des éléments terriens afin
de récupérer les trois parties de son véhicule pour repartir vers sa
planète.

Cette page, plus qu'approximative, est typique de la presse et du web.
J'ai regardé rapidement les liens cités par Google sur Roswell, et j'ai
arrêté au bout de dix pages, ayant vu défiler un bric à brac de sites et de
blogs plus ou moins sérieux, mais pas un seul livre (à moins d'avoir mal
regardé), et en tout cas pas les miens. Moralité : écrivez tant que vous voulez
un bon livre et faites en même plusieurs rééditions, soigneusement mises à jour,
plus des chapitres dans d'autres livres, des articles et des conférences qui
vous donnent le statut de "spécialiste " en France, eh bien ça ne vaut pas un
site web ou un clip vidéo mal torché, mais bien référencé, qui vous a
éventuellement copié, sans permission (j'ai remarqué ça). Même mon blog, avec
quelques articles sur le sujet, n'apparaît pas : trop petit, sans doute,
mon ami !
Voilà : le monde de l'internet grand public est arrivé. Les bouquins, on
peut les brûler dans les chaudières des centrales électriques (et alimenter
Internet, très gourmand !).
Vivez longtemps et prospérez !
Et oubliez ce mouvement d'humeur, et d'humour.
Deuxième Réaction de A.S.: Oui, G., et les professionnels de la désinformation vont se retrouver au
chômage: le travail se fait tout seul !
Mais ne vous désespérez pas: dès
qu'on se spécialise un peu, dans quelque domaine que ce soit, on mesure bien
vite le fossé qui sépare "l'initié" du grand public. Ce n'est pas particulier à
l'ufologie: le même phénomène existe dans le développement des sciences, les
infos financières, les ficelles de la politique... Ce qui paraît dans la presse
doit être "accessible" au premier venu - c'est-à-dire avoir un contenu minimum
et très approximatif (sans parler de l'inévitable orientation idéologique qui
s'y superpose).
Restons philosophes, et faisons bien la différence entre
cette bouillaque de grande diffusion et le vrai travail qui ne peut intéresser
qu'un petit nombre. On peut au moi! ns s'y livrer en paix !
Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more
with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water, he said.
On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the
Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave
behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The
objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.
Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls
retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned
with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer
says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs. Vladimir
Kremlev for RT. Click to enlarge
On several occasions the
instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed.
Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a
challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like
the objects defied the laws of physics. Theres only one explanation: the
creatures who built them far surpass us in development, Beketov said.
Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments:
Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATOs fleets concentrate. Near
Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of
the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in
the Caribbean Sea.
Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russias Lake
Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful
lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.
In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a
group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at
a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the
seven men died, while four others were severely injured.
I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be
discarded, says Vladimir Azhazha. Skepticism is the easiest way:
believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So its very
important to analyze what they encounter there.
Meanwhile Russian Navy officials have denied the collection of UFO-related
encounters exists. A source in the Navys service staff said the story may have
its roots in the reports of vessel commanders, which describe locating objects
of unclear but Earthly origin.
An illusion of a UFO encounter can result from large fish shoals,
floating garbage or natural phenomena, ITAR-TASS news agency cites the
source.
UK astronomers join hunt for alien life, new level of code-breaking may be
required
London: Are we alone in the universe? We could be closer to finding
out.
British astronomers are joining forces to hunt for ET or at least for signs
of his existence.
In a move that comes only weeks after the UK Government closed its UFO
hotline, scientists from 11 institutions, including the Jodrell Bank
observatory, have formed a network to help those working in different fields of
research to share their expertise.
Telescopes will listen for radio and light broadcasts beamed by TVs,
radios, satellites, radar and lasers from other worlds.
And should a message from little green men be intercepted, we might even be
ready to reply. Communications experts more used to working on the intelligence
of chimpanzees and dolphins are trying to devise ways of decoding any messages
and framing a response.
The network, coordinated by Dr Alan Penny of the University of St Andrews,
was officially launched on Monday at the National Astronomy Meeting, organised
by the Royal Astronomical Society, at St Andrews, Scotland.
The UK SETI Research Network will bolster Britains long-running involvement
in the US-based Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI,
project.
Dr Penny said the interception of light and radio signals that were wholly
artificial and could not be made by nature would be proof that we are not alone.
If ET fired a powerful laser through a big optical telescope to send a
signal or announce their existence, those pulses could be detected over many
thousands of light years, he said.
We need to get more time on telescopes for the project and then well get a
flood of data. At the moment if we detected a signal that was unambiguously
artificial that would be it.
You wouldnt need to understand the message its nature would tell us that
we are not alone. Then once youve found it you can look more closely to see if
there is a message. If it looks as though there is, [intelligence agency] GCHQ
can get going and try to decode it.
Others believe that a new level of code-breaking will be required.
Dr John Elliott, an expert in human and animal communication from Leeds
Metropolitan University, said: Standard decipherment and decryption techniques
used by the military and security agencies are not going to help much.
To put the challenge into context, we still have scripts from antiquity that
have remained undeciphered over hundreds of years, despite many serious
attempts.
However, some scientists say that if we alert hostile aliens to our existence
we risk an invasion that could lead to the end of life on Earth.
They argue that if ET has the technology to cross space to reach us then any
defences we have will be all but useless.
And physicist Stephen Hawking has warned that aliens may plunder Earth for
its resources.
But Professor Ian Crawford, of Birkbeck, University of London, told the
conference that any aliens would have made themselves known by now.
Dr Robert Massey, of the Royal Astronomical Society, said: If we found even
one civilisation elsewhere, it would be an entirely sensational result.
Curieusement,
l'animation n'existe pas sur Google Suisse (www.google.ch).

Ce 8 juillet,

Google transporte les internautes dans une autre
dimension ce 8 juillet, avec un mini-jeu consacré aux 66 ans de l'affaire
Roswell en guise de doodle. Cette célèbre affaire est née du crash supposé d'un
vaisseau spatial dans une zone désertique près de la ville de Roswell, au
Nouveau-Mexique, dans le sud-ouest des États-Unis, où le cadavre d'un alien
aurait été découvert. Ce dernier est le personnage principal du jeu. L'idée est
simple: il se balade aux alentours d'une ferme, en pleine nuit, et récupère des
objets pouvant l'aider à survivre.
En 1947, ce crash a créé des émois
dans le monde entier, et est depuis considéré comme l'un des événements
ufologues (spécialistes des ovni, ndlr) les plus célèbres. En cause: des débris
retrouvés par le propriétaire du ranch situé près du point de chute de
l'appareil, et dont les clichés ont fait la Une des médias à l'époque. En 1992,
un mini-documentaire stipule même, images d'autopsie à l'appui, que le cadavre
d'un extraterrestre aurait été retrouvé à bord de l'engin.
Polémiques
en série
Une controverse en a résulté, le gouvernement américain assurant
qu'il ne s'agissait que d'un ballon-sonde top-secret destiné à espionner les
expériences nucléaires militaires soviétiques. En pleine Guerre Froide,
l'argument aurait pu faire mouche, mais les passionnés de petits hommes verts et
des théories conspirationnistes sont restés persuadés du contraire.
Cette
histoire est devenue un phénomène de culture populaire, et Roswell un quasi lieu
de pélerinage ufologique. Les séries Roswell, racontant le quotidien étrange
d'adolescents dans cette ville, et X-Files, où deux agents du FBI enquêtent sur
des phénomènes paranormaux, sont notamment inspirées de cette
affaire.
«Mon Dieu, c'est vraiment arrivé!»
En juillet 2012, un
ex-agent de la CIA a relancé les soupçons. Il a affirmé avoir découvert des
preuves, dans les archives de l'agence de renseignement, prouvant que le
gouvernement américain avait menti. «Une boîte a principalement attiré mon
attention et notamment ce mot: Roswell. J'ai fouillé à l'intérieur, mis la boîte
sur une étagère et dit: mon Dieu, c'est vraiment arrivé!'». Il y aurait trouvé
des «écrits et centaines de photos» validant la thèse pro-alien. Preuve que
«l'affaire Roswell» n'a pas fini de semer le trouble.

Chers
lecteurs, Nous apprenons avec tristesse le décès de Lucien Clerebaut,
mercredi, suite à des complications liées à une opération
chirurgicale. Lucien était le cofondateur de la SOBEPS et son moteur.
Perpétuellement présent, actif et efficace, il a beaucoup apporté à l'ufologie
belge. Plus largement, son intelligence et sa gestion de la vague belge en ont
fait une personnalité bien connue des Belges. Nous saluons ce grand homme et
sommes en empathie avec ses proches.
The Center for UFO Research held the 2013 Symposium on Official and
Scientific Investigation of UAP (UFOs) this weekend in Greensboro, North
Carolina. Open Minds was there to cover the event and got exclusive interviews
with the scientists and government officials who were there to discuss their
research and investigations.
The event was financed and organized by Kent Senter, who has researched the
UFO phenomena for over 25 years. He was one of the founding members of the North
Carolina chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Senter is battling an
incurable cancer, and wanted to put together a credible conference as part of
his bucket list. Early on his cancer was misdiagnosed, and with some of the
money he was awarded in a settlement, he was able to bring in the best people
from all over the world to accomplish his goal of elevating the credibility of
UFO research.

Rojas)
In order to help him gather the most credible international group, he
enlisted the help of Leslie Kean. Her book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and
Government Officials Go On the Record, was a New York Times best-seller, and
has garnered positive attention from mainstream media and scientists.
Included among the international speakers were two representatives from
official government UFO research organizations. One of those is Xavier Passot,
the head of GEIPAN, a UFO investigative group that is part of Frances CNES
(National Centre for Space Studies), which is the equivalent to NASA here in the
US. The other official was Jose Lay, the international affairs director of
Chiles Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA). This
organization is a branch of the General Administration of Civil Aeronautics,
which is similar to our FAA.

Rojas)
Other international speakers included retired Major General Wilfried De
Brouwer of the Belgium Air Force. He presided over the official investigation of
2000 reports of triangular shaped UFOs over Belgium from 1989 to 1991. He says
the witnesses included highly credible individuals including pilots and police
officials.
An incredible case involving the Unites States military was presented by
retired Colonel Charles Halt, who in 1980 was the deputy base commander at RAF
Bentwaters in England when he and other Air Force personnel witnessed UFO
activity over the period of a few nights. Bentwaters was being leased by the US
from the UK government, and the files on this case were included in the UK
governments recent release of UFO files.
Representatives from academia also spoke, such as Alexander Wendt, professor
of International Security, who spoke on the UFO taboo. Similarly, emeritus
professor of sociology, Ron Westrum spoke on how society deals with
controversial discoveries. Astronomer and author, Jeffrey Bennett, presented on
the scientific search for extraterrestrial life, and Dr. Richard Haines
presented UFO investigations of reports from pilots.

Finally, Nancy Talbott spoke on the science of crop circles, and Timothy
Good, UK author and researcher, spoke on the history of UFO research.
The gathering was a once in a lifetime chance to visit with officials,
military personnel, professors, and other credible researchers from around the
world. We got a lot of great interviews and besides this video, will be posting
several others focused on the work of some of these incredible people.

Vikings. According to the account an ancient record that was handed down
describes a UFO encounter from the distant past experienced by the Leif
Ericksons crew who were on their way to North America. I am not sure about what
medium that this historic account was recorded in as the Vikings did not
supposedly have a written language. Even though the Norsemen were considered
incredible craftsman, weapon makers, and accomplished artists, there was no
written word. Perhaps these accounts came as a result of pictograms or engraved
images. More... Also

David Clarke, the tireless Sheffield Hallam University professor whose
decade-long quest in getting his countrys National Archives to release UFO
files compiled by the British Ministry of Defence, reached the end of the road
on June 23 with a final data-dump into the public domain. And he signed off on
that last batch with I-told-you-so relish. There were no smoking guns amid the
52,000 pages released since the incremental undertaking began in 2009, and even
veteran British researcher Jenny Randles lauded Clarkes persistence.
To much fanfare, the British Ministry of Defence finally ended the public
distribution of its largely banal and pedestrian UFO case files last
month/CREDIT: superscholar.org
I may not agree with everything that he says on the subject but I do with
much of it and respect all of his views about the remainder, she wrote in an
addendum to Clarkes parting shots. I certainly know that he is nobodys
puppet. And I, for one, say thank you for his efforts.
Based solely on the evidence presented by UK authorities and the MoDs
ostensible exculpatory transparency Clarkes obituary on that nations ufology
would appear well sourced. But by pulling in some American Skeptical Inquirer
types to fortify his position, Clarke clearly overreaches in his alacrity to
settle the worldwide UFO problem once and for all. No room, of course, for the testimony of former Belgian Air
Force general Wilfried de Brouwer concerning the F-16 scrambles during
1989-90 European wave, or flight-safety issues raised by
former NASA scientist Richard Haines, both of whom presented their evidence
at a symposium just last weekend in Greensboro, N.C. Truth is, you could spend
all night listing Clarke's points of omission and it wouldnt make a dime's
worth of difference here. Not when you forsake good data and credible witnesses
for shopworn cliches, as Clarke chose to.
... My favourite quote of the whole two day media event, he wrote of the
reception to the final MoD document delivery, came from the New York Times as
follows: Dr. Clarke, who has approached the UFO phenomenon from a sociological
perspective, noted that many UFO sightings came from the Scottish city of
Glasgow between 10 p.m. and midnight around the time the pubs are
closing.
Wow. Drunk eyewitnesses again. Fascinating. Zzzz.
Clarke also took a few shots at fellow British ufologists Nick Pope and
Timothy Good for holding preconceived beliefs in their failure to trust The
Official Story because it is in their interest [as UFO authors] to keep the
mystery alive and kicking.
Clarke draws a particularly critical bead on Pope, who anchored the MoDs UFO
desk from 1991-94. He charges Pope with hypocrisy for requesting that his own
UFO-related records remain exempt from disclosure.
The reason these papers are being with-held, Clarke alleges, is because
they contain information about Nick Popes conversion to UFO believer that
followed his alien abduction experience in Florida in 1991. This happened
shortly before he joined the UFO desk when he claims he had little or no
interest in the subject.
Now thats actually interesting.
In denying the abduction story in an email to De Void I've never even seen
a UFO! Pope sought to clarify the record. To wit:
Some UK-based ufologists took exception to the fact that I used some
pseudonymous cases in my book on alien abductions, The Uninvited. I replied
that witness confidentiality applied without exception and added even if it was
me as a joke. The joke spread and I replied that I could "neither confirm nor
deny" (NCND) the rumor. NCND is a Ministry of Defense in-joke, just as I could
tell you but then I'd have to kill you is an in-joke in the intelligence
community.
The only documents that I requested the MoD withhold are ones relating to my
work as a freelance journalist, broadcaster and PR consultant. Clarke is one of
a small group of UK ufologists who are absolutely obsessed with me, in view of
my government work on UFOs. This bizarre groups of oddballs which includes a
deeply unpleasant individual who runs an anti-Semitic blog have submitted
multiple FOI requests to MoD about me and poison the blogosphere with incessant
hate-filled rantings about my government work in many people's eyes I still
work for the government and am personally responsible for the UFO cover-up! I
took the view and the MoD agreed that documents relating to my business
activities were private and should certainly not be passed to some of the more
unpleasant characters who lurk on the fringes of ufology.
Hypocrisy? Well, at the very least, it tells us the MoD still has stuff
tucked away in its UFO files. Pope also reminded De Void as indeed, Clarke
reminded his readers that Clarke never possessed a security clearance during
his UFO research and has reviewed only declassified, or unclassified,
material.
I suspect there's some sour grapes here, Pope went on, because one of the
documents in MoD's UFO files referred to Clarke and a couple of his fellow
ufologists as the UFO spotters - a pejorative UK term meaning someone with an
obsessive, nerdish and naïve perspective on the subject. It was one of my
successors who wrote that, but as I'm the 'public face' of MoD's UFO project,
ufologists tend to blame me for just about everything!
Then theres this caveat from prolific British researcher and author Good,
who greeted the MODs glasnost with a shrug: That was done in a civilian desk
within the MoD which Nick headed ... The real work is done behind the scenes
(e.g. military intelligence). You may recall that in Above Top Secret I
exposed for the first time the Top Secret UFO research unit then at RAF Rudloe
Manor (now elsewhere).
This is running long for a little blog, so lets wrap it up on a word from
Jenny Randles, who discovered something from these MoD crumbs that we Yanks
regrettably picked up on from the Pentagon decades ago, after it was far too
late: ... The MoD was never and is not now the correct body to collate such
data and spend precious resources on a subject that really needs to be
demystified and placed into the realms of scientific study.
OK, so who wants to pony up and start from scratch?
British UFO Document Release is Really a Coverup, says UFO
Abductee Nick Pope
UFO Abductee Nick Pope, formerly of the MoD UFO
Desk
Nick Pope is a major UFO celebrity, originally from the U.K. but now living
in the U.S. He claims that he was skeptical of UFOs prior to his work at the MoD
UFO desk (there never was such a thing as a "UFO Project"), but in fact Pope
believes he was abducted by aliens during a trip to Florida in 1991, before he
began working for the MoD. The Sunday Times of London reported on February 7, 1999
that
The Ministry of Defence official who once headed investigations into
unidentified flying objects believes he was abducted by aliens. Nick Pope, who
ran the ministry's top secret Airstaff Secretariat office during the early
1990s, believes that he, his girlfriend and their car were abducted from a
deserted toll road in Florida. He has described how he was lifted aboard an
alien spacecraft and then wandered around its corridors - without, however,
meeting any aliens.
The next speaker was Nick Pope, who supposedly ran "the British
Government's UFO Project," although in reality he didn't run anything, and
worked part-time on the UFO Project from 1991 to 1994. He began his talk on the
defensive, emphasizing that he did not actually predict an alien invasion, as
many news stories and blogs reported last summer. I was, he said, merely
promoting a space war type of video game, and reporters took my comments out of
context. I
wrote a Blog entry about this last August 22. Comments like, "The government
must - and has planned - for the worst-case scenario: alien attack and alien
invasion. Space shuttles, lasers and directed-energy weapons are all committed
via the Alien Invasion War Plan to defence against any alien ships in orbit."
Sorry Nick, that excuse doesn't work, as anyone can tell if they Google "Nick
Pope Alien Invasion," which also brings up a story from October 12, 2012, "Britain
has alien-war weapons, says former government adviser," and even "Aliens
Could Attack at Any Time" from 2006. Stop trying to fool us, Nick, and admit
you said these things.
One reason that UFOlogists are upset is that the newly-released UFO files
contain nothing whatsoever of any real interest, and are in fact rather
embarrassing to the pro-UFO side. As reported by the BBC,
Carl Mantell of the RAF's Air Command, suggested the MoD should try to
significantly reduce the UFO work. He said it was "consuming increasing
resource, but produces no valuable defence output". He told Mr Ainsworth that in
more than 50 years, "no UFO sighting reported to [the MoD] has ever revealed
anything to suggest an extra-terrestrial presence or military threat to the
UK"... Among the 4,400 pages of documents released are:
A letter from a school child in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, to the MoD,
dated January 2009, asking if aliens exist after she had seen some strange
lights, and including a drawing of an alien in a UFO waving
A report received via the UFO hotline by someone who had been "living with
an alien" in Carlisle for some time
A report from a man from Cardiff who claimed a UFO abducted his dog, and
took his car and tent, while he was camping with friends in 2007
One of the UFO documents recently released by the UK MoD. When my name was
included on a list prepared by NASA of people who might have information on UFOs
(since they did not), I used to receive dozens of letters like this from school
children requesting information. I would usually reply with just a page or two
of skeptical materials, but I suppose that was not what they wanted to
receive.
Dr David Clarke, according
to The Telegraph, "has been the National Archives 'UFO consultant' for five
year project, during which it has made public more than 52,000 pages of official
government files relating to mysterious sightings." Clarke is a former reporter
and currently course leader and senior lecturer in journalism at Sheffield
Hallam University teaching media law and investigation skills. His Ph.D is in
Folklore from the National Centre for English Cultural Tradition, University of
Sheffield. Since 2008 he has been working with The National Archives (TNA) as
their consultant for the ongoing release of the UFO files created by Britain's
Ministry of Defence.
from 2000 onwards my FOI campaign made me a thorn in the side of the MoD
to the extent that after seven years of constant pressure they relented and
decided to transfer all surviving UFO papers to The National Archives. But
instead of hailing the disclosure as a breakthrough, conspiracy nuts have
portrayed it as a cover-up because the documents do not provide any support for
their beliefs.
A claim by the British Ministry of Defence that UFOs have no defense
significance is "designed solely to keep Parliament, the media and the public
off our backs," according to former MoD UFO Desk administrator Nick Pope....
Official MoD spokesmen and one self-styled UFO expert, David Clarke, claim that
the MoD found no evidence of a UFO threat to the UK and, therefore, closed its
UFO Desk....Regarding David Clarke, Pope says, "Some people would probably use
the term 'useful idiot' to describe his parroting the MoD 'no defense
significance' sound bite."
Robert Hastings
Robert Hastings, famous for his "UFOs and Nukes" claims, jumped into the
fray. Last August I wrote about Hastings'
absurd charges about CSI(COP), such as the following:
Highly relevant to this discussion is my research into Sheaffers
affiliation with the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI) which was previously
named The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal
(CSICOP). As journalist Terry Hansen has argued in The Missing Times, the
historical role of CSICOP (now CSI) strongly suggests it has been performing as
an intelligence community front organizationpumping anti-UFO propaganda into
the media without revealing its true source or motivation.
Well-known skeptic Robert Sheaffers performance in Secret History of
UFOs, the National Geographic networks latest
debunking-disguised-as-documentary, begs the question: At what point does the
systematic presentation of half-truths and outright falsehoods about the UFO
phenomenon cross the line from incompetent scholarship to intentional
disinformation?
As I noted in my last article, given the extremely
biased and propagandistic treatment of the UFO subject one consistently finds on
Nat Geo, it might reasonably be argued that the network has been working behind
the scenes with the CIA to debunk the phenomenon.
it appears that what the MoD has been engaging in is the selective
declassification of UFO-related files, whereby low-level, generally mundane
documents are released with much media fanfare, while very sensitive files
continue to be withheld from public view. The practice is commonly called
spin. The purpose of this propaganda tactic is to alter the actual story of
official interest in the UFO phenomenon, so that it appears as if there exists
only minimal concern or none at all.
Within the next 18 months the Ministry of Defence will complete their
disclosure programme of UFO-related documents. But some UFOlogists continue to
demand they come clean on all levels. They believe there are more secret
documents being held back that contain evidence of alien visitations. I can
reveal the only documents MoD intends to permanently conceal from the public
concern their secret dealings not with aliens, but with a former member of their
own staff Nick Pope.
Clarke had made a Freedom of Information request of
the MOD for copies of MoD papers, records or other information relating to
internal discussion, policy and/or briefings in response to public statements
made to the media and via the release of Open Skies, Closed Minds by Nick
Pope during the period 1995-96. As Clarke explained to Pope at the time, "my
request was specifically for internal comment on your Press interviews in 1996
and MoDs discussion of what line to take and not for access to his private
correspondence with his employers over the clearance of his manuscript (with one
exception that concerns a specific letter which he had quoted from in the public
domain)." Clarke's request was not granted, and it turns out that the reason was
that Pope has written to the MoD and asked for the information not to be
released into the public domain.
So much for "full disclosure!" Probably
the reason that Pope opposes the release of such documents is that they
undoubtedly would contain more comments like these:
far from accurately representing the Departments position
[on UFOs], he [Nick Pope] has sought to embellish the truth at almost every
turn. (from a document prepared by one of Pope's line managers in 2000-2001,
DEFE 24/2019, released into the National Archives in 2011).
"A great pity that a more permanent abduction by aliens cannot be arranged.
I'm not surprised that they did not want to keep him." (one of Pope's managers
scribbled this comment in a margin of one of the redacted documents released by
the MoD and dated 10 October 1995)
End the UFO Coverup, Nick, and
release the files!
There is a very interesting 2009 article in Tim
Printy's Sun-Lite about Pope by someone calling himself "Col. Arnold
Moulder" (but is probably Colonel Mustard, with the candlestick, in the
library). It describes Pope's efforts to hide these documents, and gives
numerous other examples of Pope playing fast and loose with facts.
