Born in the same year as flying saucers, 1947, he first learnt of them at the age of 7, when a UFO landing took place near his hometown, Diges, gaining front pages of local papers. That report instigated his early interest in science fiction. In his teen years, Bertrand visited René and Francine Fouéré at GEPA (Groupe de’Etudes des Phénomènes Aériens) and subscribed to its journal Phénomènes spatiaux, soon beginning to do field investigation on local UFO reports. A meeting with pioneer ufologist Aimé Michel was instrumental to address Méheust to philosophy studies. After graduating he has since been teaching philosophy, sociology and ethnology, and in 1997 got his  Ph.D. in sociology with a thesis about how normal science reacted to psychic research in the 19th century.

In 1978, he published his first book (Science-fiction et soucoupes volantes) on strong similarities between contemporary UFO reports and obscure science fiction novels of the early 1900’s.

During the ’80s he concentrated his studies on animal magnetism from the viewpoint of testimonies and had a second book (Soucoupes volantes et folklore, 1985) published on an ethnological parallel between alien abductions, visions and folklore accounts of otherworldy meetings.

An editorial board member of UFO journal OVNI Présence, Méheust was fascinated by the Belgian wave of 1989-90 and, caming to the conclusion that it could not be reduced to psycho-sociological explanations (Retour sur l'”Anomalie belge”, 2000).

Luis R. González Manso – b. 1958, Oviedo (Asturias – SPAIN)

Master in Business Administration (ESADE, Barcelona, 1980), I have published dozens of articles and reviews in Spanish and South American UFO bulletins such as Stendek, Cuadernos de Ufología, @nomalía, UFOPRESS (Argentina), La Nave de los Locos (Chile), etc. but also in skeptical journals such as La Alternativa racional and El escéptico. There are also a few collaborations in English magazines, such as Magonia (where I published a long article about the UMMO affair), The Anomalist, and Fortean Times. I have no book published, but did collaborated intensively in Fundación Anomalía’s Diccionario Temático de Ufología (1997).

In my earlier ufological years I actively worked with the Spanish Centro de Estudios Interplanetarios (CEI), but also helped Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos with UPIAR Research in Progress. After a long hiatus, I returned to Ufology in the 90s, becoming a patron in the new Fundación Anomalía. Now, I am in charge of his Suplemento Internacional (a small bulletin which tries to give Spanish readers a flavour of the good Ufology written in Europe and the USA) and review foreign UFO titles for the Spanish audience. I read and write English, and understand French, Portuguese and Italian.

My interest in Ufology began in the mid-70s. I have investigated just a couple of UFO cases in my town, but really I am a “arm-chair ufologist” dissecting others’ work and investigations. I never admitted the simpler HET, following in the beginning Vallee´s ideas about a more subtle extraterrestrial contact. Now I have completely evolved into a skeptic. Nevertheless, I continue to be fascinated by how people believe in weird things. My present interests are:

+ The KOMPLETE KOTTMEYER – The translation into Spanish of ALL the ufological essays of my friend Martin Kottmeyer. A cyclopean effort indeed!

+ The FIRSTHUMCAT – A catalogue of the first humanoid cases in each country worldwide –  http://www.anomalia.org/fhc_en.pdf

+ Early Abductions – Compiled around the ABDCAT, a catalogue of abduction-related cases and fictional stories, up to 1981 (around the date of publication of Hopkins’s Missing Time).

+ UMMO – Also only the earlier years.

+ UFOphilately.

+ UFO-related bibliography (factional and fiction, including SF/UFOlogical stories, comics, etc.)
