- Description:
1/1, 1958-2016. 20-30 pp., 150-165 francs. The cost of the journal was included in member dues. This was the premier French-language UFO journal and one of the leading and longest lasting journals on the subject worldwide. Veillith (1958-2016) was an astronomer who saw a UFO in 1958 and spent the rest of his life trying to come to grips with the phenomenon. The journal served as the clearinghouse for data on UFO sightings and witness statements on the phenomenon, but its goals from the first issue were broader and more inclusively human and spiritual: "This magazine is dedicated to all those across the globe who passionately seek the truth. Their discoveries serve as beacons of light amidst humanity's current darkness, guiding us step by step toward new horizons. Assisting human beings across the various dimensions of their existence, and uncovering and highlighting precious yet often overlooked truths--these are the goals of this magazine." Accordingly, the journal dealt occasionally in the early days with religion and over the years increasingly with the unexplained and mysterious generally, usually in a Fortean manner, while remaining fundamentally a UFO journal, especially under the editorship of Joel Mesnard. Over its long lifespan the journal witnessed various fads on the interpretation of UFOs (psychosocial vs. extraterrestrial, paraphysical and multi-dimensional, folkloric, etc.). It carried contributions by Jacques Vallee, Aime Michel, John A. Keel, and many others.
