After obtaining diplomas in psychology and philosophy and passing the entrance exam as a studio sound engineer in 1943, Michel joined the French radio station Radiodiffusion Française in 1944.
After the publication with help from Jacques Bergier, he devised a theory called Orthoténie [fr] (English: orthoteny) in a corner of a restaurant booth.
[1] Michel postulated so-called "alignments": straight lines that corresponded to large circles traced and centered on the earth.
[2] A member of the editorial board of Lumières dans la nuit from 1969, he wrote numerous articles on UFOs, mysticism, the animal kingdom as well as other topics in various journals.
From September 26 to October 10, 1964, Aimé Michel also led cultural workshops on the theme of "Life in the Sidereal Universe", taking place under the backing of the magazine Planète at Cefalù in Sicily.
