French UFO Files
Doubtless this story is going to be here, there and everywhere over the next few weeks:
France became the first country to open its files on UFOs Thursday when the national space agency unveiled a website
documenting more than 1,600 sightings spanning five decades.The online archives, which will be updated as new cases are reported, catalogues in minute detail cases ranging from the
easily dismissed to a handful that continue to perplex even hard-nosed scientists.
“It is a world first,” said Jacques Patenet, the aeronautical engineer who heads the office for the study of “non-identified
aerospatial phenomena.”
Known as OVNIs in French, UFOs have always generated intense interest along with countless conspiracy theories about
secretive government cover-ups of findings deemed too sensitive or alarming for public consumption.

I just wish the US would release their files. (yeah right)

I would predict that nothing revealed through these releases, no matter how startling or scientifically/historically significant, will have much attention to paid to it by either the US “mainstream” media or the CSICOP-skeptopathic community. “Can’t be…therefore it isn’t”.

“But only about 9% of France’s UFO cases have ever been fully explained, the group says.
And of the 1,600 cases registered since 1954, nearly a quarter are known as Category D -
meaning that in spite of good data and witnesses, the mysterious sightings remain inexplicable.”
Only 9% explained!!
Seems the French didn’t waste time reporting ‘balloons, meteors,Venus…’
anyone know of a review of ‘their top 20′ in English?
