102 OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE<br />

tor of the French National Center of Scientific Research, performed<br />
in his underground laboratory of Saint Germain on the<br />
west side of Paris experiments in terrestrial gravitation with a<br />
7,500-gr pendulum at the end of an 830-mm rod weighing 4,500<br />
gr, or, in other words, a total pendulum weight of 12 kg.<br />
As proven by the 1851 experiments of Leon Foucault, a pendulum<br />
always oscillates in the same plane with respect to outer<br />
space, in such a way that its plane of oscillation seems to rotate<br />
relatively to the surface of the earth.<br />
The constant observation and recording of this<br />
apparent rotation<br />
and its variations, relative to the theoretical rotation that has<br />
been computed from astronomical data, allows a very accurate<br />
study of the difiFerent motions of the earth and, especially, of the<br />
regularity of its rotation around its polar axis.<br />
On June 30, 1954, Maurice Allais was watching his pendulum<br />
with particular attention, for a total eclipse of the sun visible in<br />
Europe was to happen that day around noon, which eventually<br />
could slightly modify the plane of oscillation<br />
But he certainly<br />
of the pendulum.<br />
did not expect what did happen during that<br />
eclipse.<br />
When the eclipse started, the plane of oscillation of the pendulum<br />
suddenly shifted by 15 degrees, from 170° to 185°. It stayed<br />
at 185° for the duration of the eclipse, but finally came back to<br />
its original position when the eclipse was over. As far as we<br />
know, this had never happened before and it has never happened<br />
since.<br />
The announcement of this fantastic phenomenon made a lot of<br />
waves in scientific circles at the time and Allais was almost accused<br />
of having made up the whole story, but he was a very conscientious<br />
scientist and the angular shift of the pendulum was<br />
recorded by several of his instruments. It was indisputable. In<br />
the twenty years which have elapsed, numerous tentative explanations<br />
have been proposed without success.<br />
Many scientists have been. thinking for some time that outer<br />
space civilizations<br />
could very well have discovered a long time<br />
ago the secrets of gravitation, which they would thereafter know<br />
how to control and could use for the propulsion of their flying<br />
saucers. That would explain the incredible maneuvers UFOs
