Paris France

Paris, the capital of France, recurs across UAP-related testimony and archival material as a site of Cold War-era UFO investigation, esoteric activity attributed to the Order of Melchizedek, early psychical research, and Whitley Strieber's account of a 1994 missing-time episode.

According to Jacques Vallée, some UFO cases in France have been investigated by five government agencies.¹ In 1973, a journalist and a French Air Force intelligence officer met for lunch at a Paris restaurant to discuss the UFO issue.² According to Messengers of Deception: UFO Contacts and Cults, the officer said he had consulted his American contacts rather than his own government, because the French government did not know anything.³ The same book records him adding that there was no organised cover-up on UFOs, but that everybody simply avoided looking at the problem.⁴

In the Paris Métro, Vallée found a scribbled message reading “The Lord is an Extraterrestrial”, attributed to a group calling itself the Order of Melchizedek.⁵ The message had been written in black felt-tip marker multiple times across the walls of several tunnels.⁶ Vallée subsequently found that one of the largest Urantia organisations was based in France, as was a branch of the Order of Melchizedek.⁷ Ivan wrote to Vallée from Paris, stating he was responsible for the Order of Melchizedek in Israel, Africa, Europe, India, and China.⁸ According to Vallée, a leaflet from the order announced the imminent flight of seven flying saucers over Paris that would land on top of the Radio and Television Building.⁹ Ivan later claimed that saucers had indeed been seen over Paris in December, as his leaflet had predicted, and said the reports were on file.¹⁰ Raymond Bernard lived near Paris, in Villeneuve-St.-Georges.¹¹

Vallée also visited leaders of an occult organisation in Paris who claimed to meet regularly with extraterrestrials preparing a social revolution.¹² He recounted that in the summer of 1971, Jacques Bordas received a phone call from Paris that he believed came from a being he had met at Canigou twenty years earlier.¹³ Vallée said that when Charles de Gaulle returned to power in France in 1958, a dozen different conspiracies were fighting among themselves for control of the government.¹⁴

In 1920, Gustave Geley and Charles Richet brought medium Franek Kluski to a windowless laboratory at the Institut Métapsychique International (IMI) in Paris, where they conducted eleven successful séances.¹⁵ The plaster molds produced during Kluski’s paraffin experiments remain at the IMI.¹⁶ Brynjolfur Thorlaksson said that none of those present at another sitting recognised the name “Madame Malibran”, but that some later found in encyclopaedias that a wealthy French plantation owner named François Eugène Malibran had married a Spanish-descended singer of that name, born in Paris in 1808.¹⁷ Further research established that Maria Felicia Malibran, a celebrated mezzo-soprano, sang leading roles in opera houses in Paris, Naples, London and New York.¹⁸ She was born in Paris, where her father, one of Rossini’s favourite tenors, trained her as a singer from an early age.¹⁹

Marty Martyn’s sister lived in Paris, where she danced as a young woman.²⁰ Photographs existed of Martyn in front of Paris landmarks from a visit to see her.²¹ The 1929 New York passenger list of the steamship Minnesota, arriving in New York from France, records Martyn’s birth date, under the name Marty Kolinsky, as 1903-05-19.²² Ryan Hammons said that Martyn went to Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower.²³

In 1994, Whitley Strieber and Anne Strieber went to Paris to meet their son and his fiancée, renting a flat in Montparnasse.²⁴ During what became known as the 1994 Paris missing time incident, two men came to Strieber’s door claiming to be officers of the French intelligence service and showing what appeared to be official identification.²⁵ According to In Plain Sight, Jean Gabriel Greslé, a former French Air Force and Air France pilot, was standing outside a gym in Gretz-Armainvilliers, 25 kilometres east of Paris, when he and six of his pupils witnessed a craft in November 1990.²⁶ Martin Bormann assembled the leaders of German industry at a secret gathering in Paris, the Maison Rouge meeting.²⁷ Chris Ramsay said that a bad outcome always makes a better story than a good one, giving as an example that an audience would rather hear he had been pickpocketed in Paris than that he had had a good time there.²⁸
