L’ufologie du Québec en pleine effervescence ! (calendrier fin 2016)
par Yann Vadnais, directeur du GARPAN.
La vitalité de l’ufologie du Québec en 2016 !
Les gens qui se rappellent de l’ufologie québécoise entre 1998 et 2008 peuvent se réjouir ! En effet, cette période fut l’une des moins animée de notre histoire ufologique au Québec, tel que je l’ai démontré dans ma conférence des « 50 ans de l’ufologie civile au Québec (1966-2016) au Congrès UFO 601 du 8 octobre dernier. Comme j’ai été co-organisateur de l’événement, il y a beaucoup de choses sur lesquelles je souhaite revenir, mais j’attendrai la mi-novembre pour exprimer à quel point l’événement fut une réussite, au moment où nous rendrons publique la « Conférence de presse des 50 ans de l’ufologie civile du Québec ».
Pour l’heure, il convient de célébrer chers amis, confrères et partisans de l’ufologie, car l’année 2016 est à l’image du cinquantenaire de notre tradition québécoise : elle n’a jamais été aussi active et efficace, diverse et polyvalente. J’ai soutenu lors de ma conférence que depuis 2009, c’est une période de renouvellement et d’épanouissement, tel que nous pouvons le constater ! Toutes les organisations ufologiques sont devenues cohérentes et publient de nombreux travaux. De nouveaux ufologues ont fait leur marque, et les Anciens sont toujours présents avec une vitalité accrue. Je parle bien sûr de Richard Glenn et Jean Casault.

Calendrier d’automne 2016 :
Poursuivant sur sa lancée, M. Casault nous offre un nouveau livre et une émission éponyme « Les faits maudits » qui raviront ceux qui apprécient l’« animateur » chez l’ufologue. À noter que Jean Morissette (AQU) y présentera aussi une chronique mensuelle.
Aussi, Jean Lavergne est revenu cette année avec sa septième édition de l’« OVNI-Show », une émission radiophonique bimensuelle très informative :
Sans compter que Richard Glenn anime à chaque samedi une émission live sur YouTube, les Vidéorandia :
Avec le Congrès UFO 601 et la série-web en 5 capsules du Sac de chips à propos de cas d’ovnis de l’Association québécoise d’ufologie (AQU), il est incontestable qu’octobre fut le « mois ufologique » de l’année ! :

Mentionnons enfin la nouvelle chronique de Gilles Surprenant « UFOMÉRIDE » :
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at streamnexushub continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at deliverynexus confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.
Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at writerharbor only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at brightwinner 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.
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to discountnexus only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at cosmicvertex maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at uniquevoyager did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at cosmicvertex would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to joyfulnexus kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at ideaswithoutnoise 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.
If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at luxuryseconds continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.
Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at moveforwardintentionally kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at discountnexus continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at urbanbartender the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at growthwithintent continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at pixelgallery added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at humorvertex earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at ideaprogression continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at forwardenergyactivated extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at buildsmartmotion kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at growthfindsdirection got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at viralnexus 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.
I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at comicnexus the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.
Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after profitnexus I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.
This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked clarityshift I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.
Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at ideasneedmotion reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.
A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at momentumworkflow continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.
I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at ideasgainmotion did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to claritysimplifiesprogress I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at momentumdesign 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.
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at momentumdesign similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to directionsharpensfocus I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at activateyourmomentum earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at thinkingtomotion only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at ideasunlockmovement confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at shadowbeast continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.
Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at directionisleverage extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.
Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at visionintoprocess held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at nexustower extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through nexustower I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at motionwithclarity carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at wisdommentor extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at directionbeforeforce added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at ideasintomomentum confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at actiondrivenoutcomes continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at progressneedsstructure kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at claritybeforecomplexity continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at actioncreatesalignment added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
