UFOs in the daily Press:

FLYING SAUCERS... OR NOT?

Last Friday and Saturday, Jimmy Guieu, head of the research department at "Ouranos", gave two lectures in Dijon, closely followed by many attendees.

Do flying saucers exist or not? For Jimmy Guieu, they do exist. In fact, they have existed for a very long time. Doesn't he hint that the prophet Elijah was taken up, as the Bible says, in a chariot of fire?

So, why wouldn't that be a flying saucer?... These appearances have occurred everywhere; besides "chariot of fire", they were called "fire dragons" according to the thoughts and imagination of earthlings who saw them.

But let's skip forward several millennia to 1945. It's especially from that date that their numbers started increasing. Why? Because beings from other worlds saw and heard about World War II and the explosion of atomic bombs. Their curiosity was aroused and they began reconnaissance missions...

Jimmy Guieu then recounted about ten or fifteen cases in which flying saucers were seen very close up, landed on the ground, and where their inhabitants communicated with humans in English: a squadron of saucers allegedly carried out a mission, staying for 48 hours on a U.S. airbase, where these beings and the locals conversed. We would have liked to see a film or photos of this adventure. We did see a few photos. Scientifically and technically, they are not fake, says Jimmy Guieu. The examples follow one after another, each more astonishing or frightening than the last: the appearance of a 3-meter-tall being exhaling a terrible stench, causing throats to swell until suffocation; second-degree burns on a man who approached a saucer; and even more, the abduction by a saucer of a pilot mid-air during a crash—only to land safely near his completely destroyed plane.

Fantastic or fanciful! Among the reactions heard upon leaving, one stood out: "I sort of believed in it, now I'm done." And another person said: "It's amazing, but we're no further ahead."

All in all, a good evening for both believers and skeptics, for or against the saucers, with a tale in which the speaker's imagination often carried us into a grand sci-fi saga.
