EuroUFO.net at the French Parliament UAP Colloquium

On June 29th, the Victor Hugo room in the French Parliament building in Paris hosted an unprecedented UAP symposium, organized by deputies Arnaud Saint Martin and Pierre Henriet. A detailed account was published on UAP Check website.

Here let us just be proud that, out of ten  speakers who were in the room, as many as four have long been  EuroUFO.net members. And we can say that they made the difference. Kudos to Philippe Ailleris, Pierre Lagrange, Gilles Munsch, and Michael Vaillant.

Third Sol Symposium in Baveno

Posted on by

The Sol Foundation had his 2025 annual  Symposium in Europe. It took place in Baveno, on the Italian shores of Lake Maggiore, during the October 24-27th weekend.

More than 460 people attendend, coming from all over Europe, America and as far away as New Zealand, too.  Two and a half days were packed with more than twenty speakers, with several social networking opportunities during, between and after the conferences.

More or less detailed reports about the Symposium have been published, notably on Sol Foundation website and on SUAPS website.

A few EuroUFO members were either attending or speaking there: Michael Vaillant had his talk titled “Uniting Experience and Science: Lessons from Two Decades of UAP Investigations at GEIPAN” on Sunday afternoon.

A joint presentation leaflet  was prepared about UAP Check, EuroUfo.net, and UPIAR Publications. It was handed over to old and new contacts there.

As many as three UapCheck+EuroUfo  private dinners were organised, in order to take the opportunity to meet  and talk with several collaborators coming from Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherland, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland,  USA and… Ukraine (!), for a total of 40 participants.
