Dix auteurs marquants de l’ufologie au Québec
Suite à mes recherches en vue d’établir une chronologie de l’ufologie au Québec, j’en suis venu à tenter un palmarès des dix auteurs québécois qui ont marqué notre discipline ufologique. N’hésitez pas à commenter ou proposer d’autres auteurs / livres.
1. Henri BORDELEAU
Le pionnier de l’ufologie au Québec :
J’ai percé le mystère des soucoupes volantes (1969)
J’ai chassé les pilotes des soucoupes volantes (1970)
2. La revue trimestrielle UFO-QUÉBEC
La revue UFO-Québec, publiée de 1974 à 1981, représente un mine d’or de cas québécois enquêtés par les investigateurs de cet « âge d’or de l’ufologie au Québec » : avec des articles de Wido Hoville, Philippe Blaquière, Don Donderi, M. L., Claude MacDuff, Jeff Holt, Réginald Marquis, Jean Ferguson, Richard Bastien, Jean Vézina, Don C. Donderi, etc.
3. Jean FERGUSON
Un auteur qui a comblé le lectorat des ufophiles sur une vingtaine d’années, mais qui termina sa carrière d’écrivain avec plusieurs livres de poésie :
Tout sur les soucoupes volantes (1972)
Les humanoïdes : Les cerveaux qui dirigent les soucoupes volantes (1978)
Extraterrestres et soucoupes volantes: Nouveau bilan (1992), avec Claude Boisvert
4. Jean Casault
C’est lorsqu’on regarde l’étendue de l’oeuvre de Jean Casault, depuis ses premiers textes dans la revue AFFA en 1969, que l’on se rend compte sur quelle longue expérience il s’appuie :
Manifeste pour l’avenir : Bilan de l’extraterrestre (1971)
Dossier OVNI : Rapport et essai d’interprétation d’ovnis du Québec (1981)
Les extraterrestres (1997), avec H. Dupont
Ovnis, enlèvement extraterrestres et univers parallèles : Certitude ou fiction (2010),
Ce dont je n’ai jamais parlé : Ovnis, extraterrestres, univers parallèles (2011)
L’école invisible : Des éléments nouveaux et stupéfiants sur la nouvelle ufologie (2011)
Les intelligences supérieures : Esprits, entités, extraterrestres (2012)
Plusieurs autres ouvrages.
5. Claude MacDuff
Un livre indémodable :
Le procès des Soucoupes Volantes (1975)
6. François C. Bourbeau
Contact 158 (1984)
Les médias cachent la réalité OVNI au public : Tout le film des événements ufologiques de 1979 à aujourd’hui (1996)
7. Jean Thomas, alias Jacques Dumont
« [Jacques] Dumont est arrivé comme ça, « comme un cheveu sur la soupe » sortant de nulle part (…) Nous pouvons simplement dire qu’il devait entretenir une une secrète et réelle passion pour le sujet OVNI depuis sa plus tendre enfance, et que finalement, il a ressenti le besoin d’écrire deux livres, juste comme ça, car depuis, bien on n’a plus jamais réentendu parler de l’homme. On pourra dire qu’il est passé, telle une comète, dans le firmament de l’ufologie québécoise ! » (F.C. Bourbeau, in UFOmania 69, hiver 2011) :
Synthèse OVNI (1999)
OVNIS : 1/2 siècle de recherches (2002)
8. Alain Duchesne, alias Alain de Nazareth
O.V.N.I., êtes-vous prêt ? (2006)
Un livre interdit par les autorités !
9. Christian R. Page
Dossiers Mystère, 2 tomes (2008)
L’enquêteur du paranormal, 3 tomes (2011, 2012, 2015)
10. Don DONDERI
Cet ancien professeur de psychologie de l’université McGill, qui faisait des enquêtes dès l’époque d’UFO-Québec (1974-81), a finalement publié le fruit d’une méditation d’une vie sur les phénomènes OVNIs ! :
UFOs, Ets and Alien, A scientist looks at the evidence (2013)
11. Auteurs de 2014
Nous ne saurions passer sous silence la publication de deux ouvrages que nous considérons importants pour l’ufologie du Québec :
Marc Saint-Germain
Marc Saint-Germain est un chercheur sérieux qui nous promet éventuellement un ouvrage sur le « Projet-Magnet ». Son livre Les gardiens du silence présente une recherche et une analyse d’ensemble « de l’implication du gouvernement américain dans la censure sur les ovnis et la présence extraterrestre » que le public francophone attendait depuis longtemps :
Les gardiens du silence, Évidences du gouvernement américain dans la censure sur les ovnis et la présence extraterrestre (2014)
Yann Vadnais
Comme on peut le voir dans notre article présentant la bibliographie de l’ufologie au Québec, le livre du Garpan intitulé Enquêter sur les OVNIs pour comprendre notre réalité, qui présente les témoignages de quarante cas du Québec de 1973 à 2013, constitue une somme considérable de cas québécois, tel qu’il n’y en avait pas eu depuis longtemps :
Enquêter sur les OVNIs pour comprendre notre réalité : 40 cas du Québec (1973-2013), en collaboration avec Tobi Guillemette (2014)
Excellente représentation des différents auteurs qui ont contribué à l’essor de l’ufologie québécoise..
A.Thériault, Ufologue et chercheur du paranormal
Bonjour Yann et le GARPAN,
Avant 1969, il y a bien eu une ufologie au Québec ?
Vous avez eu un pionnier en la personne de L.C. Potvin, en relation en France avec Marc Thirouin , René Fouéré, Alfred Nahon en Suisse.
Il publiait (ou : il faisait publier chez nous) « Lettres du Canada » (1958 -1960) : compilation de textes de L.C. Potvin et « Extraits » : Extraits de revues anglophones traduits par L.C. Potvin (1958 -1960).
Nous en avons récupéré dans plusieurs fonds d’archives que nous avons sauvegardé, ces documents sont consultables aux Archives Nationales, à Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, près de Paris.

A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at siskatrance maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at waferturtle reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to slackvista reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at singlevision kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.
Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at orientnexus kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at oceanriders kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at merrynights extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at artistnexus kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at progresswithdiscipline extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at wavevoyager reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at actiondrivenoutcomes extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at velvetorbit added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at urbanlatino maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at darkvoyager reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at focuscreatesleverage maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at strategylaunchpad keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at focusfirstapproach continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at quantumleafhub continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at calmretreats prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at profitnexus added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at digitalhaven added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at profitnexus reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to rapidcourier confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked progressengineon I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at festiveglow hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to growthpipeline kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at signaldrivengrowth continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at moveideasforwardclean maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at urbanriders did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at executeplansnow continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at clarityroute added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at clarityfirstaction suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at executeideasfast confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at ideasneedmomentum kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.
Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to forwardthinkingnow maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at wisdommentor extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.
Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at progressrequiresfocus kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at brightlifestyle held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at brightcurrent kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at brightdwelling extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at visiontoexecution extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at inkedcanvas fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at growthfollowsmovement suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at claritymovesideas confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at thinklessmovebetter prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at visiondirection reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at orbitnexora reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at creativeinkwell kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
