THE TWO LOST HOURS OF MADEMOISELLE HÉLÈNE

This document, published in the Flying Saucer Review, details the alleged UFO abduction of twenty-year-old Hélène Giuliana in June 1976 near the Pont de Martinet in France. According to the report, Giuliana was driving home from Romans to Hostun when her car stalled and the lights failed. She reported seeing a dome-shaped orange object. Following this event, she experienced a two-hour gap in her memory. Under hypnosis conducted by Stéphane Dey, she recounted being taken by two small beings into a craft with a rounded, iron-like interior. She described being placed on a table and restrained with handcuffs and a towel over her forehead. The account was investigated by the OURANOS Study Group and reported in various French publications. The document also includes a separate article by T. Scott Crain, Jr., regarding the 1956 crash of an F-51D aircraft piloted by Lt. Colonel Joseph Lee Merkel. Crain argues that official reports on the crash were censored to obscure the potential involvement of a UFO, noting that the pilot reported an unidentified aircraft on his radar shortly before the crash. The document serves as a compilation of these two distinct cases, emphasizing the investigative efforts of ufologists in France and the United States to document phenomena that they believe are being suppressed or ignored by official channels.
