00:00:40,239 investigators the new book by charles 5 00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:43,680 lear while 1954 in america was mostly 6 00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:46,160 about the saucers that year in france 7 00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:48,640 was more about the occupants also known 8 00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:51,120 as humanoids it was then that french 9 00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,199 researcher emme michelle came to 10 00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,960 international prominence as he 11 00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,360 investigated collected data and tried to 12 00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,440 unravel the mystery the young jacques 13 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,600 filet first became interested in flying 14 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,680 saucers at this time he was later 15 00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:05,760 inspired by michelle's work and went on 16 00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,479 to achieve prominence as a respected and 17 00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:10,720 influential figure in the field on 18 00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:14,320 september 10 1954 34 year old karuba 19 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:16,720 resident marius dewild reported an 20 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:18,640 incident to the local police that 21 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:20,720 received extensive press coverage not 22 00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,360 only in france but worldwide according 23 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,920 to the wild at 10 30 pm he was sitting 24 00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:27,600 in his house located next to some 25 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,240 railroad tracks when his dog kiki 26 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,640 started barking outside equipped with a 27 00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:34,960 flashlight he went to investigate 28 00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,439 outside he noticed a large object which 29 00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:39,840 he assumed was a harvest cart six meters 30 00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,000 from his front door he then saw two 31 00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:44,240 figures on a nearby path that was often 32 00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:46,159 used by smugglers he pointed his 33 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:47,759 flashlight at them and there was a 34 00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:49,920 reflection that seemed to be on a glass 35 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:52,399 helmet with a head inside he only got a 36 00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,920 quick look but the head seemed 37 00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:56,000 especially large he estimated the 38 00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:57,759 figures were both about a meter in 39 00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,159 height at that moment a door opened up 40 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,159 on the side of the object a blinding 41 00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:03,840 light came out and the wild was 42 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,560 paralyzed by fear he closed his eyes and 43 00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,479 by the time he opened them the object 44 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:10,879 had risen 10 meters in the air it then 45 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:13,440 shot off to the west like lightning as 46 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,520 the story made its way from newspaper to 47 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:17,920 newspaper the wild being paralyzed by 48 00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:19,760 fear turned into the wild being 49 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,160 paralyzed by a beam of light the press 50 00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,239 was now paying attention and many more 51 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,080 sightings and encounters followed the 52 00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:28,560 two types of craft most often reported 53 00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,360 were soucoops fallance and cigarvalance 54 00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,280 which translate to flying saucers and 55 00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:35,760 flying cigars respectively the cigar 56 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,000 valance were sometimes called churchills 57 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,400 due to the constant presence of a cigar 58 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,239 in the mouth of the famous british prime 59 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,640 minister in addition to the craft there 60 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:46,560 were many reports of small humanoid 61 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,280 occupants in diving suits hairy dwarves 62 00:02:54,190 --> 00:02:51,519 electrical and mechanical malfunctions 63 00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,200 mostly involving stalled cars and more 64 00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,319 paralysis-inducing rays of light 65 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,560 according to valet the flying saucer 66 00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:00,959 began to lose its academic character and 67 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,200 entered the experience of daily life it 68 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,360 completely monopolized the press and 69 00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:07,599 general conversation because of all the 70 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,519 press coverage people started seeing 71 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:11,920 saucers and little creatures everywhere 72 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:14,239 james mosley covered some of the stories 73 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,080 beginning with one which he printed in 74 00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:18,640 its original french with no translation 75 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,840 in the august 1954 nexus in the december 76 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,680 issue we covered several stories 77 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:25,920 including one from perpignon involving a 78 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,239 saucer and an occupant in a diverse suit 79 00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,159 that rapidly re-entered his ship and 80 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,400 took off after seeing the two dogs of 81 00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:35,040 the witness this story is juxtaposed by 82 00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:36,879 another story in the same paragraph 83 00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:38,799 where the saucer man took time to pet 84 00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:41,599 the witness's dog mosley comments this 85 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:43,519 leaves us here at nexus headquarters in 86 00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:45,680 a state of confusion as to whether space 87 00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:48,879 men like dogs or not apparently some do 88 00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,400 and some don't the january 1955 issue 89 00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,640 includes a case written about by mosley 90 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:56,799 that almost turned deadly empire 91 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,040 language of the share valley district 92 00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:01,120 was walking home in the rain he came 93 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:03,120 upon what he perceived to be a spaceman 94 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:05,360 in a luminous suit the man seemed to be 95 00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:07,599 mounting a ray gun on his spaceship with 96 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:09,439 the aid of a metal claw coming out of 97 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,000 his sleeve lang hwa quickly went home 98 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,560 got his shotgun came back and fired at 99 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,720 the creature a few minutes later a 100 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:18,959 motorist passing by stopped and gave 101 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,680 assistance to m andre lacoste who was 102 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,520 dressed in a white raincoat and had 103 00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:25,919 buckshot in his ribs and arms the 104 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,240 spaceship was a renault the ray gun was 105 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,479 a carburetor and the metallic claw was a 106 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,960 monkey wrench despite the more farcical 107 00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:35,040 episodes there were cases to be taken 108 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,199 seriously that were reported by those 109 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:39,600 the french call dyna de foie which in 110 00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:42,479 english amounts to credible witnesses in 111 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,280 gills police officer m baccalard 112 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:47,600 reported that on october 18th he was 113 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:49,919 driving a police fan making his rounds 114 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,639 at 5 30 pm he came upon a cigar-shaped 115 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:54,960 object that was approximately 10 meters 116 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,440 long and two to three meters high his 117 00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:59,840 van started misfiring and he experienced 118 00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,479 feelings of semi-paralysis he then found 119 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,479 himself entering the village of kohi 120 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,400 which was not part of his route with no 121 00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:08,560 recollection of how he got there in the 122 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,240 midst of all the press there was no 123 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,320 shortage of opinions regarding the cause 124 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:14,800 of all the sightings in the october 25th 125 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,240 1954 edition of time famed psychiatrist 126 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:20,320 carl jung posited that the sightings 127 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,320 were either hallucinations brought on by 128 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:25,520 cold war fears or actual alien craft in 129 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,960 the october 24th 1954 american weekly 130 00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:30,960 professor hermann oberth was far more 131 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,600 definite and declared it is my thesis 132 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,600 that flying saucers are real and that 133 00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:37,680 they are spaceships from another solar 134 00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:38,479 system 135 00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:41,280 many american researchers such as kiho 136 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,520 were not open to the humanoid reports 137 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,520 one group of researchers that was open 138 00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:47,919 to them was civilian saucer intelligence 139 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:50,240 which had formed in new york that year 140 00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,240 some members of the group also had a 141 00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:54,320 relationship with aimee michelle having 142 00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,120 translated his book lurs surley sukup's 143 00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:59,840 filance the truth about flying saucers 144 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:02,319 into english the may michelle's book was 145 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:05,360 published in 1954 just before the onset 146 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:07,039 of the french reports and he found 147 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:08,880 himself in the position of being that 148 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,520 nation's flying saucer expert out of 149 00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:13,360 thousands of reports michelle 150 00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,360 investigated and collected data on 151 00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:17,680 nearly 300 reports that he felt were 152 00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:20,160 credible while doing so he developed the 153 00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:22,639 theory called orthoty based on his 154 00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,720 observation that sightings occurred 155 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,720 along straight lines that would change 156 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,720 daily to michelle this proved the 157 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:30,479 sightings were real and that there was 158 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,479 intelligence behind the objects being 159 00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:35,280 seen he noted that from september 23rd 160 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,360 to october 10th the sightings followed 161 00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,280 the pattern and then afterwards they 162 00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:41,759 deviated he speculated that the objects 163 00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:43,680 were alien craft deployed on a 164 00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:45,919 methodical survey mission the emerging 165 00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:48,560 randomness was due to a follow-up survey 166 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,039 with separate areas of focus michelle 167 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:54,000 published his findings in his 1958 book 168 00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,759 mysteria objects celeste which csi also 169 00:07:02,469 --> 00:06:59,599 translated and it was published in 170 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,479 america that same year as flying saucers 171 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:04,560 and the straight line mystery jacques 172 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:06,800 filet was a 19 year old college student 173 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:10,000 when he read mysteria objects celeste he 174 00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:11,759 was impressed enough by the book that he 175 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:13,759 wrote michelle a letter praising it he 176 00:07:17,430 --> 00:07:15,440 didn't agree with everything in the book 177 00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:17,440 and argued against michelle's opinion 178 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,880 that there was an unbridgeable 179 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,120 evolutionary gap between ourselves and 180 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,440 the visitors he closed his letter 181 00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:25,520 telling michelle that his book gives us 182 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:27,919 a reason to face the problem it enables 183 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:30,720 us to be in valuable research quietly 184 00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:33,039 serious work can start now at last 185 00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:35,440 because of you fellai's passion was most 186 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:37,120 likely spawned by his own sighting in 187 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,400 1955 along with his mother of a disc 188 00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:42,240 with a bubble dome hovering over a 189 00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:44,240 church near his house fellaia and 190 00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:47,120 michelle both contributed to the 1969 191 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:49,280 book the humanoids which has become a 192 00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:52,639 classic in ufo literature the 1954 193 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:54,639 sightings stuck with valet and the small 194 00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:57,120 humanoids reported then reminded valet 195 00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:58,960 of small humanoid reports throughout 196 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:01,120 human history he set about comparing 197 00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,960 them and developed the theory that what 198 00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:04,720 was being seen whether fairies 199 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,039 leprechauns elves or aliens were all 200 00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:09,360 manifestations of an intelligence that 201 00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:12,160 co-exists with us and is deceptive he 202 00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:15,199 published his ideas in his 1993 book 203 00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:17,199 passport to magonia and was an 204 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:18,800 influential contributor to the 205 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,520 interdimensional hypothesis and michelle 206
