Rappelons que cette information avait pouss\u00e9 la F.E.A \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter Monsieur Gilles Lorant en tant qu\u2019auditeur de l\u2019IHEDN dans une d\u00e9claration publique.<\/p>\n<p>Consid\u00e9rant la position embarrassante que ce rectificatif impose \u00e0 la F.E.A, son conseil d\u2019administration a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de demander \u00e0 Monsieur Gilles Lorant de lui remettre sa d\u00e9mission sur le champ. Monsieur Gilles Lorant s\u2019est ex\u00e9cut\u00e9 hier jeudi 6 mars 2008, devant les membres du conseil d\u2019administration et ne fait plus partie de la F.E.A.<\/p>\n<p>Concernant les informations tr\u00e8s sensibles sur son voyage \u00e0 l\u2019O.N.U en f\u00e9vrier 2008 qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 transmises par Monsieur Gilles Lorant, la F.E.A ne peut plus se permettre de soutenir ou confirmer les all\u00e9gations de Monsieur Gilles Lorant.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019article sur le sujet demeure en ligne uniquement \u00e0 titre documentaire et doit \u00eatre \u00e0 pr\u00e9sent consid\u00e9r\u00e9, comme l&#8217;\u00e9l\u00e9ment d&#8217;un sc\u00e9nario fictif dans lequel l&#8217;O.N.U envisagerait un communiqu\u00e9 officiel divulgu\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s du grand public sur le sujet des OVNIs.<\/p>\n<p>Tenant compte des man\u0153uvres qui sont \u00e0 l\u2019origine des infiltrations de plusieurs associations de recherches ufologiques \u00e9trang\u00e8res, par des individus sans scrupule, ayant quelques fois exerc\u00e9 dans le cadre d\u2019op\u00e9ration de sabotage, la F.E.A se r\u00e9serve la possibilit\u00e9 de porter l\u2019ensemble de cette affaire en justice.<\/p>\n<p>Le pr\u00e9sident<\/p>\n<p>*** IN ENGLISH ***<br \/>DENIAL<\/p>\n<p>The F.E.A asks for M. GILLES LORANT&#8217;s resignation<\/p>\n<p>In consideration of the external pressures made on M. Gilles Lorant, he gave us a denial concerning his participation to the IHEDN as an auditor. Remind that this information had pushed the F.E.A to introduce M. Gilles Lorant as an auditor of the IHEDN in a public statement.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the embarrassing position that this denial imposes to the F.E.A, its board of directors has decided to request his immediate resignation to M. Gilles Lorant. M. Gilles Lorant complied yesterday March 6th, 2008, before the board directors and is no longer a member of the F.E.A.<\/p>\n<p>Concerning the very sensible informations about his travel at the U.N in February 2008, which were released by M. Gilles Lorant, the F.E.A no longer can suports nor confirms M. Gilles Lorant&#8217;s allegations.<\/p>\n<p>However, the article will remain online as documentary and must now be considered, as an element of a fiction scenario in wich U.N. took into consideration the official release disclosed to the public at large on the subject of UFOs.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the manoeuvres wich are at the start of the infiltration of many foreign ufological research associations, by unscrupulous individuals, having sometimes worked for sabotage operations, the F.E.A reserves the possibility to bring this whole affair before the justice.<\/p>\n<p>The President.<br \/>Source : F.E.A (Service communication) <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.federation-airplane.eu\/site\/fr\/nouvelles\/newsletter\/suite.php?newsid=72\">http:\/\/www.federation-airplane.eu\/site\/fr\/nouvelles\/newsletter\/suite.php?newsid=72<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>COMMENTS FROM OBSERVERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;

<\/p>\n<div>I<br \/>\nhave seen the process of discreditation at work before, applied in the<br \/>\npast many times to UFOlogists and JFK Assassination experts alike, so I<br \/>\nam not surprised at this turn of the screw. <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>This is nothing new.&nbsp; We call it official &quot;damage control.&quot;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>However,<br \/>\nMr. Lorant&#8217;s current difficulties have nothing to do with the veracity<br \/>\nor credibility of our source and his information.&nbsp; The fact that the<br \/>\nreaction to Mr. Lorant&#8217;s revelations has been so quick and vehement<br \/>\nindicates to me that his release of information shook up French<br \/>\nofficialdom and some important people in France, England, Italy and the<br \/>\nUN have turned up the heat on Mr. Lorant.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;

<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>Nitpicking at his old bio, by removing &quot;IHEDN&quot;, does not preclude his presence there nor exclude him from the events.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>What has been discredited is a technical point in his bio, not the information he provided about the UN event.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>Actually,<br \/>\nas unpleasant as this may be(come) for Mr. Lorant, it is good that it<br \/>\nwill bring more light to bear on all aspects surrounding this event.&nbsp;

Paris time &#8211; by <br \/>attorney Michel Algrin, Administrator of COMETA, that Gilles <br \/>Lorant is not, and has never beeen, an auditor at the Institut <br \/>des Hautes Etudes de Defense Nationale &#8211; The Institute of <br \/>National Higher Defence Studies &#8211; contrary to one of his claims <br \/>in his resume, which has been widely<br \/>\nreproduced.<\/p>\n<p>Michel Algrin, himself an auditor at IHEDN, like several <br \/>members of COMETA, has had direct confirmation of that by the <br \/>administration of IHEDN. <\/p>\n<p>He asked me to quickly warn Lorant that IHEDN was going to sue <br \/>him in the coming days, for usurpation of title &#8211; which may <br \/>result, in France, in one year in jail and a penalty of 100,000 <br \/>Euros.<\/p>\n<p>So I warned him at once and he mmediately agreed to retract <br \/>that claim. I think we have avoided him big trouble. <\/p>\n<p>Michel Algrin also recommended I let this been known publicly, <br \/>which is what I am doing now, here and on several French Lists.<\/p>\n<p>I am also informing Lorant of that action. <\/p>\n<p>BTW, it seems that he is\/has not either a member, or <br \/>correspondant of CNRS and CNES, but this needs still be <br \/>confirmed. <\/p>\n<p>As for the veracity of his testimony about alleged meetings at <br \/>the UN, for me it has to be put in a &quot;grey basket, as Stan<br \/>\n<br \/>Friedman would<br \/>\nsay.<\/p>\n<p>Gildas Bourdais<\/p>\n<p>Listen to &#8216;Strange Days&#8230; Indeed&#8217; &#8211; The PodCast<\/p>\n<p>See:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.virtuallystrange.net\/ufo\/sdi\/program\/subscribers\/\">http:\/\/www.virtuallystrange<wbr><\/wbr>.net\/ufo\/sdi\/program\/subscriber<wbr><\/wbr>s\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\\_____________________________<\/p>\n<p><wbr><\/wbr><\/p>\n<p>__________________\/<\/p>\n<p>UFO UpDates &#8211; Toronto &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:ufoupdates@virtuallystrange.net\">ufoupdates@virtuallystrange.net<\/a><br \/>A UFO &amp; Related Phenomena E-Mail List operated by<br \/>Errol Bruce-Knapp<\/p>\n<p>UFO UpDates Archives are available at<br \/>The Virtually Strange Network:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.virtuallystrange.net\/ufo\/updates\/subscribers\/\">http:\/\/www.virtuallystrange<wbr><\/wbr>.net\/ufo\/updates\/subscribers\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To unsubscribe send a message to this address:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:ufoupdates@virtuallystrange.net\">ufoupdates@virtuallystrange.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>with &#8216;Unsubscribe&#8217; in the Subject: line<\/p>\n<p>MUFON Ontario<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.virtuallystrange.net\/ufo\/mufonontario\/mufonindex.html\">http:\/\/www.virtuallystrange<wbr><\/wbr>.net\/ufo\/mufonontario\/mufoninde<wbr><\/wbr>x.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>______________________________<\/p>\n<p><wbr><\/wbr><\/p>\n<p>_________________<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>VIEW\/COMMENT:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/exopolitics.blogs.com\/exopolitics\/2008\/03\/update-un-ufo-w.html\">http:\/\/exopolitics.blogs.com\/exopolitics\/2008\/03\/update-un-ufo-w.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
