UFOs and SCIENCE: The Explorers of Research

****Update of June 13, 2006

*My readers will easily understand why, busy with setting up low-density MHD experiments and the project to install a complete UFO-science laboratory in the south of France, I have little time left to devote to news and current events: failure of discussions on global food policy at the FAO summit, attack on internet freedom, threat of an Iranian attack by Israel (which could only carry out this attack jointly with the United States, given that its fighter-bombers are unable to cover the distance Israel - Iranian nuclear installations without mid-air refueling over Iraq, controlled by the USA. Etc. *

The book is written, the illustrations are done.

One hundred and seventy pages, in a 14 cm by 20 cm format. I put the finishing touches yesterday, then sent everything to Julien Geffray, who immediately spent his Sunday converting my Word file into a print file. I mean "for the printer." It was Jérôme Frasson, never short of imagination, who came up with the title. We will now try to release this book as soon as possible, preferably by the end of July, beginning of August. We have chosen a Parisian printer, Gerfau, which will print a thousand copies, hoping that it will be only the beginning. We have decided not to go through a publisher, for two reasons. The first is that the sale of a book today is tied to the media. Booksellers quickly drop a book that does not take off. This was the case for "We Lost Half the Universe," published by Albin Michel in 1997. Media: complete zero. Sales: one thousand books in the first year, then it dwindled. Ten years already. When you sell a book through these usual channels, the author's profit is 7.5% of the public price, after all expenses. So we have decided to print ourselves, at the expense of the association, and sell by mail

*So the profit per book will be ten times higher. *

The profit will be entirely used for funding our actions and research. If you want to order the book, make a check of 19.50 euros payable to UFO-science and send it to the association's headquarters

**UFO-science 83 avenue d'Italie 75013 Paris **

We bought a laboratory freezer for 1500 euros:

The ELCOLD 11 sample preservation system of the UFO-science phytobiological analysis laboratory (-45°)

It seems, with the avalanche of UFO sightings in Brittany (17 cases in a few weeks), that we might be dealing with a UFO wave. The standard lab freezer goes down to -80°, but costs 5000 euros. However, our financial resources are currently focused on two areas: setting up the first low-density MHD experiments and publishing the book. We have opted for this intermediate solution, which allows us to preserve the plant samples long enough for analysis in the "Michel Bounias laboratory," 9 square meters.

We are now fully operational, from the on-site investigation to the analysis of biological traces on the ground.

Jérôme Frasson is currently preparing a simulation for the end of the month to check that everything is OK, that the team members have clearly understood the tasks assigned to them at all stages of the operation. A video report will follow, showing all this to the public, on dailymotion or youtube. We do not count on the traditional media, which for three years have only invited the same people, repeating the same speeches.

The first video of UFO-science was viewed by 15,000 internet users. Denis Roussel returned yesterday from New Zealand. We will be at work tomorrow morning. We will rework this first video into English and not dub it. Then we will use the rushes taken during the "Pertuis conference" to make the next one, which will be shot in both languages: French and English. It will serve as a promotional clip to launch the book, hoping that a sufficient percentage of internet users who have seen the video or know our sites will purchase this book.

A That day I was on the verge of giving up, after 30 years of struggle.

But Jérôme Frasson, 32, unemployed, fought like a devil on the spectroscopy front and Julien Geffray, 30, an infographics designer, 2 years of physics degree, is ready to do anything to restart MHD studies. We still have a space: a 15 square meter garage, on the outskirts of Paris, provided by one of the members, and we have a new Edwards vacuum pump, which I had bought imagining that things would take off differently

- People have so many worries today. Many have their heads in the bag and the wealthy, as is well known, do not react

I know. One of these gold-plated idiots, who lives in a splendid vineyard property near Pertuis, even wrote to me:

- I will not put a euro into the experiments done in a garage.

After this meeting, I therefore decided to proceed. Then there is this investigation, conducted by one of my website readers, a professional. In a short time 1430 encouraging messages arrived. I read:

- Mr. Petit, you have thousands of people behind you!

I asked for money to hire research, 15,000 euros. This money arrived, early 2008. In the meantime, following the fantastic work done by Jérôme Frasson in a ... laundromat provided by a reader from the south region, UFO-science has the means to perform plant trauma analyses comparable to the work done in 1981 by Michel Bounias (deceased) on the case of Trans-en-Provence. Jérôme achieves a precision in his dosages of plant pigments by chromatography below 3%.

**The UFO-science plant sample analysis unit, 100% operational **

This represents three thousand euros of equipment and six months of hard work. Jean-Christophe Doré designed an extremely clever automatic UFO spectrum recording system. The team is expanding. You will find all this in the book, among other things.

A crazy idea then takes shape: to take up the research project of the 1980s, right. Rebuild a shock wave wind tunnel, a "shock tube," go "one step above" before even starting the low-density research. In September I will go to the international conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, where the organizing team welcomed me warmly, like a pioneer of the discipline. They also greatly appreciated reading the version of the Silent Wall already translated into Lithuanian. I will give an oral presentation and three articles will be published in the congress reports. Cost: 1300 euros, not counting the travel and accommodation expenses that I will once again bear myself. Z-machines will also be at the heart of the topics addressed at this conference where Russians and Chinese will be present.

The Ministry of Research and Technology has not responded. My contact there replied: "I have forwarded your request to the competent people and I hope they will not be late in contacting you." Two months have passed: I believe we can put a cross on this help. Upon returning, what I could bring back from this conference, dedicated among other things to Z-machines, will be presented to the public in the form of another video that will bear the UFO-science label, since it is the association that will pay the registration and publication fees.

The next stage is here. It fits in 100 square meters:

My MHD shock wave wind tunnel, 1965

The cost of such an installation: the sales of a few tens of thousands of books. We must move forward, believe, continue this march towards the stars, excluding doubt, put into practice what I wrote on my website:

Let's be realistic, consider the impossible

We have the ideas, the knowledge, the know-how, the people. The French-speaking public will make its choice by deciding to buy or not to buy this book. Anyway, we will translate it into English and other languages. If people take too long to react, in France, we will ask for help from the whole world and inform the whole world. We must resume these works at the stage they were in 1986, when the army deliberately abandoned the project. I have reconnected with my "Space Cow Boys," the MHD men of the sixties - seventies. Those who are still alive are, like me, over seventy years old. They live in the Marseille area and assured me of their help.

The Paris region has not reacted much. Yet it is rich in engineering schools, technical schools, universities, laboratories, companies. But in two years, all this has translated into a simple garage, in Fontenay. No technical environment, no workshop means, no machining. Geffray is alone, up there.

**The Fontenay garage ** (on the outskirts of Paris )

The solution comes from the south. My friend Charles, 40, an engineer, offers to take care of setting up the low-density test bench. He has already borrowed a lathe that he has stored in his company to machine the parts himself. Because that's what UFO-science is, we cover everything from General Relativity to the welding station. Geffray has brought equipment from all over the world: a 45 cm diameter Pyrex chamber and a vacuum pump from England, a magnetometer from the USA, etc. But we need to machine parts, design and build a valve that is both vacuum and electrically sealed. It doesn't exist. We also need an electrical power supply. This will finally be made in the south by my friend Jacques Legalland, a real Mac Gyver of electronics, from two transformers recovered from two already dismantled microwave ovens. In a week I will leave Brussels by car to pick up the equipment in Paris and bring it down to the south to assemble everything and proceed with the tests.

With my Belgian friend Denis Roussel, a video professional, author of the first UFO-science clip, already mentioned, we will film at my place tomorrow. We will put together the English version of the first video, then proceed with the next one, in two languages. We will also prepare the following videos that we will film in August. The second one will be used to launch the book.

There will be more than just books. We will also produce DVDs that we will sell ourselves, by mail, without intermediaries.

The person who had provided a small room of 9 square meters to Jérôme Frasson to install his biological analysis laboratory was satisfied with the results and therefore agreed to provide us with a part of her property, on the ground floor, so that we can install the supersonic burst wind tunnel as well as workshop equipment.

So a real laboratory is about to open, in the south.

Initially I had targeted the Paris region, but due to the lack of response from the people in the capital, I headed south, where, in fact, there are engineers and MHD specialists, retired, the "Space Cow Boys."

I think we are going to win. The problem of premises and technical environment, of required skills, is resolved. We will fight to be able to ensure sufficient income from books, conferences, DVD sales to be able to run a real laboratory, without counting a single second on institutional aid, which will never come. If one day the Geipan wants to collaborate, it will only have to assign us Cnes scholarships. We will ensure the supervision of the research.

The more time passes, the less we see the need to collaborate with any institutional body, especially since these (cases of technical schools linked to aeronautics) are automatically managed by former members of the DGA, the General Delegation for Armaments. It is said that when you dine with the devil, you need a long spoon. But the best is not to sit down with him at all. And a small home is better than a big one elsewhere. In any case, at the entrance of our laboratory it will be written:

*Access to military engineers, even in civilian clothes, is strictly prohibited *

We need a little money. I think it will come in. People know that we are honest and disinterested, they know our deep motivations. We plan to quickly translate this first book into English, at least an international version, since foreigners care little about French-French turbulence. We will continue to distribute these books (I will write others) by mail, anywhere in the world. This way we will avoid these circuits where any book on the UFO subject (as was the case with mine) is immediately integrated into the "esoteric" circuit. The videos in different languages will guide potential readers to our distribution channels. Below is the "back cover" of the book:

A reader of my site, Frédérique Mourgues, recently sent an email to Patenet, head of the Geipan. I imagine she won't mind me reproducing it.

Sir,

I take the liberty of making a small remark tonight after the sudden UFO wave in Brittany, it would be desirable that you also promote easy-to-install diffraction networks on anything that can integrate an image. What is happening with Jean Pierre Petit will amuse you for a while, but over time the image of the Cnes will deteriorate. It is still time for the CNES to wake up, otherwise the awakening may be brutal...

It's time to get out of folklore and start the hunt for images !!

Frederique

**and Patenet replies: **

Hello,

First of all, there is no UFO wave in Brittany, but a wave of observation of luminous phenomena that we have not yet explained, which is not the same thing.

Regarding diffraction networks, the GEPAN was once the promoter of them, equipping all the brigades, but the result was null, contrary to what JPP claims. The only photos I know from that time are tests on known light sources. The method was therefore not the right one (..). We are currently studying the possibility of promoting this equipment on a larger scale, but it is first necessary to evaluate the possible results in terms of interpretation, which we are currently doing, because it is useless to promote something that cannot be exploited afterwards.

Best regards

Jacques PATENET

Head of the GEIPAN

I have never claimed that the gendarmerie brigades obtained results with the diffraction networks their devices were equipped with. I said and wrote the exact opposite !!

A ... preliminary evaluation! One can't believe it, Patenet obviously knows nothing about spectroscopy. The presence of "exotic" lines indicating the presence of a substance not present in the air would be sufficient to motivate this research and this hunt, immediately.

Let's now take the report of the Pilot Committee, set up by Sillard,

http://www.cnes-geipan.fr/documents/Rapport_2006_2007_du_comite_de_pilotage.pdf

was set up by the President of the CNES as an independent authority in charge of supervising the activities of the GEIPAN. Presided by a person appointed by the President of the CNES, the Committee consists of 7 members representing the Administrations and Organizations concerned by its activities, 3 representatives of the CNES Directorate and 4 scientists appointed on a personal basis (The list of the Committee members is given in Appendix 2). Its role is to guide the activities of the GEIPAN, to organize the consultation between the GEIPAN and the Administrations and Organizations represented on the Committee and to make recommendations to the CNES on the directions to take. The CNES Directorate remains responsible for the functioning of the GEIPAN, its organization and the definition of its missions.

In 2007, at the request of the Committee, a new member, representing the DGA, was appointed by the President of the CNES.

Since its inaugural meeting, the Committee has held 6 meetings, of which 3 were devoted to the hearing of personalities recognized for their work in the field of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena

• 24 January 2006: Hearings of François LOUANGE, Pierre LAGRANGE, Pierre BESCOND and General Daniel LETTY
• 10 May 2006: Hearings of Jacques VALLEE, François PARMENTIER and Dominique WEINSTEIN
• 13 June and 14 December 2006: Regular meetings of the Committee
• 3 April 2007: Hearings of General PALOMEROS and Auguste MEESSEN
• 23 October 2007: Regular meeting of the Committee

With a few exceptions, the members of the Committee have actively and regularly participated in these meetings.

3. PROTOCOLS AND CONVENTIONS

The role of the Pilot Committee in the daily relations of the GEIPAN with the civil and military authorities of the country is fundamental. Indeed, the existence in these administrations of correspondents at the right level of decision and well informed about the issue of PAN allows a quick response in the transmission of observations and a level of collaboration unknown until now.

The formalization of these relations is achieved through protocols signed with each administration. The establishment of these protocols is administratively long but this delay has in no way hindered the effectiveness of the relations established thanks to the Committee. Three protocols remain to be finalized and everything will be done to have them definitively implemented in the first months of 2008.

3.1 GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF THE GENDARMERIE NATIONAL (DGGN)

An agreement existed since the creation of the GEPAN in 1977, which essentially allowed the transmission of all PAN observation reports to the CNES. It was completely revised and a new protocol was signed on April 13, 2006. The procedure for taking statements and investigations of the gendarme's notebook was modified, a guide for taking statements was established and procedures for rapid information with the GEIPAN were also developed. A very important point, this new protocol established the legal framework allowing the public dissemination of the PV concerning the observations of PAN. The balance is very positive in terms of information speed. It remains to distribute the updated documents to the brigades to improve the information gathering and better sensitize them to the PAN issue.

3.2 GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF THE NATIONAL POLICE (DGPN)

A project for a protocol identical to that of the DGGN is under discussion with the DGPN. Although observations in police areas are much fewer, such a protocol will allow the police stations to be sensitized, where witnesses are regularly turned away.

3.3 GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF CIVIL AVIATION (DGAC)

A project was sent at the end of July to the Directorate of Air Navigation Services (SNA). No response has yet been recorded, but the collaboration between the GEIPAN and the DGAC/DSNA is already effective and was implemented during the study of some recent cases.

3.4 AIR FORCE

The collaboration between the air force, and more particularly the Air Operations Control Center (CCOA, now the CNOA, National Air Operations Center) and the GEIPAN is effective and fully effective since the installation of the Pilot Committee. The final convention remains to be formalized.

In September 2007, a circular was issued by the General Staff asking all air force services to collaborate with the GEIPAN. This circular also launches an investigation among pilots. In a second phase, an information system (type blog) will be set up to allow pilots and controllers to report their experiences under the best conditions of speed and confidentiality.

3.5 METEO - FRANCE

A simple protocol was established with Météo-France which establishes the procedure for providing meteorological data, which are of three types:

• General data accessible on the internet to the public
• Detailed data accessible on the dedicated site for professionals - Specific studies carried out on special request

A document on the dates, times and characteristics of radiosondes was also provided, as well as the name of a contact for any particular meteorological problem.

3.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS

Other agreements (paid or not) are necessary so that the GEIPAN has all the necessary tools for the analysis of observation cases. The following are currently being established:

• A convention with the National Institute of Scientific Police
• A consulting contract for image analysis - A convention with the Midi Pyrénées Observatory, which in fact includes several laboratories specialized in earth sciences.
• Relationships have also been established with the Faculty of Pharmacy in Toulouse

4. ONLINE ARCHIVES

The online publication of the GEIPAN archives was the first decision of the Pilot Committee in response to the President of the CNES's desire for perfect transparency of its activities towards the public and the media. The objective date for the online publication had been set for the end of 2006.

The task proved to be much heavier and more difficult than expected due to:

• the structure of the existing database

• the amount of documents to be digitized and anonymized (more than 100,000 pages)

• the difficulty encountered in implementing a public site according to the security requirements imposed by the CNES.

The site was finally opened on March 22, 2007, three months after the initially set objective. The success was immediate and so great that the site "exploded" in less than 2 hours. A crisis cell allowed the situation to be restored to an acceptable level from March 28.

This solution, a site composed only of static pages less demanding in resources, allows only a simplified search by region but allowed the service to be restored quickly.

4.1 MEDIA ACTIVITIES

The pressure from the media related to the site's opening began to be felt at the end of December 2006. From January 2007, in close collaboration with the CNES's Communication Department, a media request management strategy was implemented, with the objective of synchronizing interventions with the effective opening of the site.

A press conference presenting the site was organized on the day of its opening, followed by two phone press conferences for non-Parisian media and foreign media. More than 150 interventions were carried out in total. Among them:

• Information in all national newspapers, including LCI
• A special 8-page dossier in L'Express on the day the site opened
• Appearance on France 2 ("On a tout essayé"), France 5 ("C dans l'air") and France 3 ("Pièces à convictions")
• Appearance on France Inter ("La tête au carré"), France Culture, RFI
• …..

After the very high traffic of the first few days (more than 200,000 connections per day), the situation gradually stabilized to about 2,000 connections per day, which is the current traffic.

The connections come from a hundred countries and about 20% of the connections are from "first-time visitors" .

4.2 FORECASTS

Currently about 45% of the data is online, which represents the vast majority of observations made since 1980. The goal is to achieve full dissemination by the end of 2008.

The static site set up after the opening is still online. A version 3 of the site is in development, with a launch planned for early 2008. It will meet the original specifications as well as some suggestions made by internet users.

5. EXPERT COLLEGE

The analysis of observation cases and their classification into categories A, B, C or D requires the participation of multidisciplinary experts. At its meeting on December 14, 2006, the Committee approved the establishment of an independent college composed of volunteer scientists willing to invest in the study of PAN.

The college currently has about thirty members, and its operation has been effective since mid-September 2007 through the provision of a collaborative work tool in the form of an exchange site that allows each expert to contribute.

Each observation case is posted on the site as soon as GEIPAN becomes aware of it, and to the extent that it has not been fully explained during the preliminary investigation. Each file consists of a descriptive page allowing different experts to intervene, this page referring to the case documentation.

Observation cases remain on the site until the experts conclude. When the case is processed, it is removed from the college's site to be posted on the GEIPAN site.

College expert meetings are planned at a rate of about two per year. The first meeting planned for December 2007 had to be postponed to February 2008 due to transport strikes.

6. SUMMARY OF INTERVIEWS

The personalities interviewed by the Steering Committee made proposals that enabled a number of actions to be initiated.

• Actions initiated (what activity, for heaven's sake!)

• Expansion of the witness database:

– Call to amateur astronomers – Call to private pilots - Awareness and educational actions towards the public

• Improve the tools for taking testimonies (robot portraits)
• Intensify field investigations

• Conducting an official investigation among pilots regarding PAN observations

• Actions to come - Study the possibilities of restarting the diffraction filter project

• Objectification and evaluation of case analysis to allow weighting of case classification by a confidence index
• Implementation of computer resources within the Air Force to facilitate the collection of testimonies (blog type)
• GEIPAN intervention in the training of controllers, military pilots and gendarmerie officers.

7. COMMUNICATION AND AWARENESS

7-1 RELATIONS WITH THE MEDIA

As previously mentioned, more than 150 interventions were carried out across all media in the weeks following the opening of the archives to the public. Although greatly reduced, the media intervention rate remains strong and must remain so in order to allow a change in attitudes on the subject.

These interventions, responses to requests or information via press releases, are managed by the CNES Communication Department, which is responsible for the organization's brand image.

7-2 RELATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC

The transparency requested from GEIPAN implies clear communication with the public without exclusion or taboo.

The communication with the public aims to inform them about the results of GEIPAN's analyses,

to sensitize them to good practices when facing an observation and to carry out educational work by explaining its methods and its position on the issue of PAN. The GEIPAN representative has also intervened at the request of ufological associations (Toulouse and Colmar ufological dinners), amateur astronomers (Epinal), space-related events (Arras) as well as cultural events (Nantes Utopiales or Epinal Imaginales).

The publication of the archives highlighted a very important public expectation regarding the answers that an official organization in charge of studying PAN can provide. The response to this social demand has become predominant in GEIPAN's activities. Public communication takes several forms:

• Systematic return to witnesses and authorities of the conclusions reached on observations - Permanent dialogue with internet users who visit the GEIPAN site and ask questions or make suggestions. GEIPAN's policy is to systematically respond to internet users within an average of a few days.
• Awareness through the site where the attitude to follow in the face of an observation is exposed
• Education through GEIPAN's interventions which respond as favorably as possible to invitations from ufological associations in order for the GEIPAN message to be disseminated to all types of public.

7-3 RELATIONS WITH PROFESSIONALS

Improving the "efficiency" and quality of the collection of testimonies passes through the training of those who may be confronted with the issue of PAN. The only training currently provided is for Air Navigation Control Engineers (ICNA) at ENAC.

The awareness of gendarmerie units through the updating of the gendarme's memo, the implementation of an interview guide and a rapid GEIPAN alert procedure have been put in place.

Training of gendarmerie officers, controllers and military pilots, civil air traffic controllers and civilian pilots are under consideration.

7-4 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Cooperation with foreign organizations dealing with the same subject is part of GEIPAN's missions. Given its status as a civilian and public organization, GEIPAN is practically a unique center of interest and reference in the world; it is therefore regularly requested to present its organization and methods at international meetings. GEIPAN does its best to respond to these requests with the available resources. The Steering Committee considers that after the priority given in 2006/2007 to the online publication of data, a particular effort should be made in 2008 to expand international contacts and define an action plan in this area. The exclusive confinement of GEIPAN to hexagonal activities is indeed difficult to understand for an external observer, especially regarding phenomena of global dimensions. This necessary opening should obviously not be at the expense of the collection and analysis of testimonies in France, which remains a priority.

• CISU Congress in St Vincent (Italy)

In June 2007, GEIPAN participated in the CISU congress, the main Italian ufological organization. This was an opportunity to meet European ufologists who are trying to work scientifically: D. Clarke (England); P. Conti (Italy); P. Ballester-Olmes (Spain); E. Ruso (Italy) ...

GEIPAN was very solicited during this congress, especially to be a leader in the creation of a European ufological research organization; an interesting project in itself but difficult to envision given GEIPAN's mission and the private status of foreign organizations. The Committee considers that it is not within GEIPAN's role or capabilities to engage in this path at least in the immediate future.

• Hessdalen

Hessdalen is a small Norwegian valley, located 450 km north of Oslo, which has been the site of unexplained light phenomena for about 25 years. Norwegian and Italian scientists have been observing these phenomena and analyzing several physical values of the site (electromagnetic radiation, ULF and VLF propagation ...) since 1984. A delegation of the Committee visited the site in September.

It emerged from this visit that the means implemented and the current scientific organization are insufficient to hope for an explanation or several explanations of the observed phenomena.

It would be a pity not to try to analyze scientifically and perhaps explain the phenomena encountered in Hessdalen. This site is indeed apparently a unique laboratory in the world for the study of PAN, given the repetitive nature of the observations made there for 25 years. A feasibility study is underway to promote the establishment of a structured European project, at a minimum including Norway, Italy and France.

It is very difficult for the current head to cope with all the priority tasks and the Committee considers that the presence of a high-level assistant beside him is highly desirable, **if one wants to avoid, in particular, the risk of a progressive degradation of the CNES brand image. **This reinforcement, which the Committee President has already discussed with the CNES President, is urgent and must be implemented during the year 2008.

he .. disappeared.

Sillard, in this text, realizes that with this inactivity of GEIPAN, this reckless inaction, the image of the shop is deteriorating each month more and more despite the reinforcements brought by the media. Where will CNES find these "high-level assistants"? Through internal recruitment?

There are brilliant people at CNES, like everywhere. But which brilliant type would sabotage his career by dealing with this office? It can only interest an old horse of the back, like Patenet, very close to retirement, who saw here a pleasant way to negotiate his return from Kourou where he spent the bulk of his career. But he knows nothing about the UFO file, which the members of his College do one after another. He knows nothing about physics or astrophysics. At Kourou he was in charge of "transmissions". He is just a very average engineer, without imagination or entrepreneurial spirit.

Before him we had Claude Poher, "head of the rocket and probe department" of CNES, nephew of Alain Poher (in 1977, at the time of the creation of Gepan, President of the Senate). The meagre scientific knowledge of Poher can be read in his book "the universes, energy of the future", an incredible heap of nonsense. Poher has never published articles in scientific journals with a review committee. His book only mentions "internal CNES notes".

Esterle did not want, as a good polytechnician, "to touch science", he let his hands. He thought he was made to lead. Like many of his kind, he also started to create words, concepts. He left us "the tetrahedron strategy" (go look in the GEPAN notes). Working with engineer Bernard Zappoli (later asked to be forgotten), he launched MHD research without the required skills, in a climate of scientific plundering. René Pellat ended this lamentable adventure, concluding the need to dissolve Gepan. It was not, however, dissolved,

His assistant Jean-Jacques Vélasco, an optician technician, took over. Without comments ...

Today we have Jacques Patenet. It is the continuation of the principle:

The inaction in motion, the incompetence in action

Before him we had Claude Poher, "head of the rocket and probe department" of CNES, nephew of Alain Poher (in 1977, at the time of the creation of Gepan, President of the Senate). The meagre scientific knowledge of Poher can be read in his book "the universes, energy of the future", an incredible heap of nonsense. Poher has never published articles in scientific journals with a review committee. His book only mentions "internal CNES notes".

Esterle did not want, as a good polytechnician, "to touch science", he let his hands. He thought he was made to lead. Like many of his kind, he also started to create words, concepts. He left us "the tetrahedron strategy" (go look in the GEPAN notes). Working with engineer Bernard Zappoli (later asked to be forgotten), he launched MHD research without the required skills, in a climate of scientific plundering. René Pellat ended this lamentable adventure, concluding the need to dissolve Gepan. It was not, however, dissolved,

His assistant Jean-Jacques Vélasco, an optician technician, took over. Without comments ...

Today we have Jacques Patenet. It is the continuation of the principle:

The inaction in motion, the incompetence in action

Sillard, in this text, realizes that with this inactivity of GEIPAN, this reckless inaction, the image of the shop is deteriorating each month more and more despite the reinforcements brought by the media. Where will CNES find these "high-level assistants"? Through internal recruitment?

There are brilliant people at CNES, like everywhere. But which brilliant type would sabotage his career by dealing with this office? It can only interest an old horse of the back, like Patenet, very close to retirement, who saw here a pleasant way to negotiate his return from Kourou where he spent the bulk of his career. But he knows nothing about the UFO file, which the members of his College do one after another. He knows nothing about physics or astrophysics. At Kourou he was in charge of "transmissions".

Zlotnicki is interested in electromagnetic phenomena that could accompany seismic phenomena. There is no "pilots" in this fine team of people who are qualified to address propulsion problems, fluid mechanics and, a fortiori, cosmology.

Isabelle de Lamberterie is a lawyer specializing in information law, and is a member of the Internet supervision committee.

It is not much in this group who could produce any research project. GEIPAN is a plane without a pilot or COPEIPAN is a crew without a plane.

How much has the entire Gepan - Sepra - Geipan cost the taxpayer over 31 years? For what result?

100,000 typewritten pages which are only reports written by gendarmes!

I would like to know how Patenet manages to spend 170,000 euros per year

I fear that nothing will ever come out of this "new" office, GEIPAN, any more than from the previous ones. This is why we created UFO-science. Honestly, it's something else than these roundabout ways, these empty words, these strategies where "everything is premature" and we never stop considering considering.

June 13, 2008: No prophet is accepted in his own country

The American magazine Science Daily announces that an American university has filed a patent for an MHD flying saucer. A new and revolutionary concept, says Roy Subrata.

****The Wall of Silence, 1983

Whatever these Americans do, we will do our experiments now that we are assured of having a spacious location. But I can say one thing, and its owner is 100% in agreement with me: it will be a "Civil Area." This word may seem strange, but it will oppose "Military Area." These places will be off-limits to military engineers and military personnel in uniform or civilian clothes. There will be a warning sign

Attention, this is a civil area. Access forbidden to any military personnel

As we will have space, we will be able to build a circular dry dock and conduct experiments with hypervelocity hydrodines moving at high speed in acidic water, which some may want to call "torpedoes." This sign will be anything but a joke. I swear that if a military engineer sets foot in these places, he will leave faster than he came, with my foot in his back. As a bonus, I will break my cane over his head. Word of Jean-Pierre Petit!
