Michel C. L. BOUNIAS	Biochemical Traumatology as a Potent Tool for Identifying Actual Stresses Elicited by Unidentified Sources: Evidence for Plant Metabolic Disorders in Correlation With a UFO Landing	1-18
	Abstract: Following an accurate testimony of a "UFO" landing, samples of a wild strain of Alfalfa were collected at the epicentre and at various increasing distances of the trace left on the ground 4 and 40 days after the observation. An additional batch of similar samples collected 730 days after the observation was then used as an a posteriori control of the natural variability on the same area. Biochemical determinations included: photosynthetic pigments, free carbohydrates, and free amino acids. Statistically, significant results were observed by plotting concentrations versus distances from the epicentre, and various characteristic subtypes of doseleffect relationships were evidenced. Functional relationships between photosynthetic pigments, amino acids and carbohydrates, were reversed at D + 40 by comparison with D + 730 samples which exhibited a normal shape. Thus, the described principles of Biochemical analysis give evidence: (a) that something did happen; (b) that the influence of the unidentified source decreased with increasing distance from the epicentre; (c) of accurate symptoms that can be further compared with those elicited by known causes.

Jacques F. VALLÉE	Return to Trans-en-Provence	19-25
	(French translation OVNI Présence N. 46 Aout/1991 Retour à Trans-en-Provence, pp. 5-10)
	Abstract: The site of the 198 1 Trans-en-Provence UFO case was visited again during 1988. Soil samples taken at the time of the initial investigation were analyzed in an American laboratory in an effort to validate the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) study of the case. The results of the interviews with the witness and his wife, and the examination of samples taken at the surface and below the surface of the physical trace support the findings of the CNES team and the truthfulness of the witness' testimony. In particular, it was found that the surface sample only differed from the depth sample by the presence of biological (plant and insect) material on the surface. Calcium and silicon were the dominant elements in all fields examined, with aluminum and iron also present. No indication was found of cement powder, oil, or chemical contaminants that could have indicated the presence of tractors or other industrial vehicles at the site.

Jean-jacques VELASCO	Report on the Analysis of Anomalous Physical Traces: The 1981 Trans-en-Provence UFO Case	27-48
	Abstract: Following information received through law enforcement channels, the Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Study Group (GEPAN) of the French National Center for Space Studies decided to investigate an observation of an unusual flying object made on 8 January 1981. The witness reported that the phenomenon had left a circular imprint on the ground. Samples gathered within this "ring" were independently analyzed by four laboratories and were compared to reference samples collected outside the trace. These analyses led to the conclusion that a significant physical phenomenon had indeed interacted with the environment at the site, producing abrasions, thermal impact and unexplained effects on plants.

Henry H. BAUER	Physical Interpretation of Very Small Concentrations	49-53
	Abstract: `Reported observations of allergy-like responses by basophils at extreme dilutions were treated as unbelievable and compared with homeopathy. However, in several "mainstream" fields of science accepted formulations also imply action by substances present at the level of much less than a single molecule or ion.`

John S. DERR, Michael A. PERSINGER	Luminous Phenomena and Seismic Energy in the Central United States	55-69
	Abstract: Luminous phenomena (LP) that occur in seismically active regions appear to be temporally related to seismicity, even when the LP are not obviously earthquake lights (EQL). Within a time frame that required aggregates of monthly or annual increments of analyses, moderately strong (0.50 < r < 0.75) correlations existed over a 19 year period between the amount of seismic energy released and the numbers of reported LP within a central region of the United States. Other anomalous reports from the same data base were not significantly correlated with the energy release. Neither LP nor the other classes of anomalous events were significantly correlated with the release of seismic energy in the surrounding region that contained comparable area and seismicity. Thus, some types of reports of LP may be geophysical phenomena that reflect the temporal and spatial characteristics of tectonic strai

Richard F. HAINES, Jacques F. VALLÉE	Photo Analysis of an Aerial Disc Over Costa Rica: New Evidence	71-74
	Abstract: `The original negative of the Costa Rica film of an oval aerial disc-like object was obtained and carefully analyzed. Not only was there no evidence of optical defects, deliberate hoax, or support for other prosaic explanations for the disc image, but interesting new surface details were found, all of which possess the same oblique orientation. The disc shaped object remains unidentified.`

John H. McGREW, Richard M. McFALL	A Scientific Inquiry Into the Validity of Astrology	75-83
	Abstract: -Six expert astrologers independently attempted to match 23 astrological birth charts to the corresponding case files of 4 male and 19 female volunteers. Case files contained information on the volunteers' life histories, full-face and profile photographs, and test profiles from the Strong-Campbell Vocational Interest Blank and the Cattell 16-P.F. Personality Inventory. Astrologers did no better than chance or than a nonastrologer control subject at matching the birth charts to the personal data; this result was independent of astrologers' confidence ratings for their predicted matches. Astrologers also failed to agree with one another's predictions.

Arno MÜLLER	Planetary Influences on Human Behavior ("Gauquelin Effect"): Too Absurd for a Scientific Explanation?	85-104
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 6 Number 3 Autumn/1992 - The Gauquelin Effect Explained? Comments on Arno Miiller's Hypothesis of Planetary Correlations [Ertel, Suitbert]
	Abstract: Starting points are the investigations of the Gauquelins into planetary influences on human beings and the attempt at a scientific explanation by Michel Gauquelin. Aside from the fact that so far no physical link connecting planets and human behavior has been discovered, there are six other facts that resist integration into Gauquelin's explanatary model. In the model put up for discussion here, which includes not only physical and hereditary, but also cultural-historical, psychological, and evolutionary aspects, these critical points are reconciled with reality and at the same time the physical problems are simplified.

Jacques F. VALLÉE	Five Arguments Against the Extraterrestrial Origin of Unidentified Flying Objects	105-117
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 4 Number 2 /1990 - Comments on Vallee's Five Arguments Against the Extraterrestrial Origin of Unidentified Flying Objects
	Abstract: Scientific opinion has generally followed public opinion in the belief that unidentified flying objects either do not exist (the "natural phenomena hypothesis") or, if they do, must represent evidence of a visitation by some advanced race of space travellers (the extraterrestrial hypothesis or "ETH"). It is the view of the author that research on UFOs need not be restricted to these two alternatives. On the contrary, the accumulated data base exhibits several patterns tending to indicate that UFOs are real, represent a previously unrecognized phenomenon, and that the facts do not support the common concept of "space visitors." Five specific arguments articulated here contradict the ETH: (1) unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth; (2) the humanoid body structure of the alleged "aliens" is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel; (3) the reported behavior in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race; (4) the extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon; and (5) the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives, three of which are proposed in outline form as a conclusion to this paper.

The witness appeared in another city the next day. All data indicate the case was an hoax, but the important for the author is to determine the unconcious origin of the story which is interpreted as a phantasy of trauma of birth.`

	`I. Case Studies`
Vicente-Juan BALLESTER OLMOS	Memory Games: A False Recall Episode
	Abstract: The event under study appears to be of an exceptional nature. Though initially undefined by the witness, it was later purported to correlate with a more than modest UFO sighting that occurred in the middle of the Spanish summer and that remained unexplained due to lack of information. Subsequent telephone and e-mail interviews with the witness over the years revealed astonishing new sighting data. A press search yielded an unexpected solution to one part of the witness’s account. Analysis of the narrative suggests that the event is consistent with a false memory incident.
Tim CALLAHAN	The Phoenix Lights: The Fallibility of Human Perception and Memory
	Abstract: : The Phoenix Lights, which appeared in the night sky in Phoenix, Arizona on March 13, 1997 were perceived by several onlookers as the leading edge of a large V-shaped flying craft, which flew directly over their heads. The witnesses described the unlit portion of this UFO as obscuring the stars above it as it passed, slowly and silently. These witnesses were, for the most part, reputable and they were not suffering from any delusions; nor were they suffering from sleep paralysis or any other temporary psychological disruption of either their cognitive or perceptual abilities. However, videos taken of the lights show them appearing one at a time, hovering close to the western horizon in a ragged line, then winking out one by one. Research carried out by psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, as well as by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simmons, among others, demonstrates the subjectivity of both perception and memory. Shared experiences of an unusual event are often transformed into a coherent dramatic narrative. Despite admission on the part of the United States Air Force that the lights were military flares dropped by parachute and the disconfirming videos taken in 1997, belief that the Phoenix Lights were the leading edge of a huge UFO remains strong 25 years after the incident.
James T. CARLSON	Missile Flights and Fantasies
	Abstract: Discusses the numerous disconnects between very consistent witness confirmations alleged by a single individual and the very inconsistent claims presented by that individual over an extended period of time. The case study involves an incident in which UFOs reportedly interfered with the status of nuclear missiles within multiple silos and squadrons at Malmstrom AFB in the State of Montana, United States of America. These differences later proved to be the key factor proving the falsity of the claims, because they ultimately provided sufficient cause to interview all of the witnesses separately — a resolution that was impossible to assert when the case was first described due to the anonymity of the witnesses discussed. Anonymity should always provoke doubt.
