UFOs, military testimonies, extraterrestrial

Inform? Why?

March 20, 2007

Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 21, you can watch Stéphane Bern's show on France 2, at 10:30 PM. The show "Arène de France". The theme of the show will be:

Is there extraterrestrial life? And are we visited by representatives of ethnic groups from other planets?

I already published a summary of this show, from memory, after its recording. It won't spoil the subject, but will allow you to catch more details along the way, to better "decode". The first detail not to miss is the one you don't see precisely. On the set, apart from me, no scientist, practically. And this has been going on for 60 years. Since 1947, since the first wave of UFOs on Earth. It's ... staggering.

In this show, listen to Duboc speak. He is a former flight commander. He talks about his observation of an object, at a distance. From memory, he speaks of twenty to forty kilometers. From an airplane in flight, the view is far. His observation was confirmed by a radar tracking, on the ground. The operators provided the speed of the object with precision: 250 km/h. Moreover, the pilots, because their point of observation is moving, can estimate, especially since they are used to it, the size of the object seen.

Duboc's assessment was:

Between 200 and 500 meters in span

The in-house psychologist, with her Bécassine look, will ask, "maybe it was a meteorite?" Of course, everyone knows that meteorites wander around at 250 km/h, peacefully. The actress Anémone, very "left-wing intellectual", herself a UFO witness, will tell us, with a knowing look: "for me, it's the military".

At such a distance, Duboc saw the object "like a thumbnail at the end of an outstretched arm". At the end of the show, the "crowd" will vote. Made up of teenagers, in general. Intellectuals, obviously. We have had our ninth "magazine" show dedicated to extraterrestrial life and UFOs, and that's it. Until next time.

Such testimonies are not rare. A week ago, I met a commercial director. In his fifties. A long-time helicopter pilot. We talked.

• Mr. Petit, I'm happy to meet you. You know, I've read all your books. I want to talk to you about something that happened to me in 1974. At the time I was a young pilot. I had my career in the army as a helicopter pilot. I was then stationed at the Caen Carpiquet base.
• Oh, coincidence, that's where I had started my military service, as a second lieutenant.
• One day I was flying, on an Alouette, with a sergeant instructor. We were flying at a thousand feet.
• A thousand feet is three hundred meters.
• Yes, that's right. A very modest altitude. We were in the middle of the day. The sky was clear. Suddenly, we were overtaken by an object having ... I don't know ... the shape of a large sausage. I remember very well the color, which was uniform. I didn't detect any detail. It was, I would say, a dull, dirty gray. It didn't shine at all. I saw the object for a very short time. It appeared on the right side of the aircraft. Since it was at the level of the horizon, it allowed us to see that it was flying at the same altitude as us.
• We? .....
• We, that is to say the sergeant and me. He was also a witness. I swear if I had been alone I would have wondered if I hadn't accidentally caught some ship by turning my head, creating a hallucinatory phenomenon.
• What was the size of the craft?
• As big as a transatlantic ship. There, I am absolutely certain. *

He gets up, goes to his board and draws a picture for me:

**The object seen in 1974 by Daniel M. and his co-pilot. Compared to their Alouette helicopter **

• You see, I drew our helicopter next to it. It was flying horizontally, at an incredible speed. In a matter of seconds, the object was just a small dot on the horizon. When we landed, we went to see the people at the base radar. They had clearly seen the thing cross their scope. They had seen that it was very big. By recalling the time the object took to cross the scope from one end to the other, they could give a speed range.
• And then?
• Between 8,000 and 12,000 km/h. What surprised me the most is that we didn't feel any turbulence. The communications were also not disturbed. It passed ... like that.
• Did you testify?
• No. The sergeant told me, "you're a young pilot. It's useless to jeopardize your career, and mine. We would just be seen as crazy. It's better to keep it to ourselves." And that's what we did. We kept it quiet. I'm telling you this because I know you won't immediately think I'm a liar.
• No. Things like that, we have plenty. During the Belgian wave, the famous triangles, in the early 1990s, all the employees of a small factory saw a mess pass majestically, covering the whole yard. They said it had the shape and size "of an inverted aircraft carrier". Today, the military, and especially the Americans, have made technical advances that could allow them to launch devices that could be assimilated to 1950s UFOs, drones, among others. But I don't think we know how to fly "inverted aircraft carriers" and that in 1974 someone could have made something the size of a transatlantic ship fly at 300 meters above the ground at 10,000 kilometers per hour. If this object had created shock waves, at such an altitude, they would have collapsed all the roofs along the path of the craft. You know that the waves created by a ship are the hydraulic equivalent of shock waves. It's like if you said, "I saw a transatlantic ship pass near the coast, while we were sailing. It passed at a thousand kilometers per hour, without making any wave at all". *

I made some drawings that summarize Daniel M.'s and his co-pilot's observation. I didn't mention his name, to avoid causing him any harm. Think about it, he could lose customers. Who would trust a commercial director who sees UFOs as big as transatlantic ships passing at ten thousand kilometers per hour three hundred meters above the ground?

This is the kind of testimony that the psychologist classifies in the hallucination section and that the actress Anémone equates to an element of a military arsenal. No need to ask Hubert Reeves what he thinks. He would smile, squinting his eyes. No scientist has accepted to come to this show, or to any similar one. The astronomer André Brahic, who is vying for Reeves' succession on "La Nuit des Étoiles", regularly shrugs his shoulders saying "there are more interesting things to observe". I am the only valuable scientist to show my interest in this subject. Many years ago, the CNRS tried to bring me back "to a more conventional view of things in this world". At that time, following the success of my comic books, I had been assigned to the "d..."
