Every year, thousands of UFO sightings are reported, but few
governments are ready to spend money examining them; in Europe, only one
dedicated state-run team remains. Is it possible for France to be serious about
UFOs?
Unidentified Flying Object UFO, is Known as OVNI
( objet volant non identifié) in French.
On Thursday, March 22, 2007, the French national space
agency, (Centre National d'Études Spatiales, CNES) and GEIPAN (Groupe
d'études et d'informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifies),
launched a website chronicling more than 1600 UFO encounters over
five decades, making it the first country to do so. GEIPAN is
a unit of the French Space Agency CNES whose role is to investigate
unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAPs) and make its discoveries accessible to
the public.
The online archives, which will be updated as new cases are
reported, catalogues in minute detail, ranging from the easily ignored to
a few that continue to perplex even the most serious scientists.
CNES gets around fifty to one hundred UFO report every year.
The insightful procedure they follow on UFO and very not quite the same as what
most Americans would anticipate. GEIPAN obviously does the vast majority of the
work in the field, prepares reports and gives it all to the
CNES Researchers and Engineers investigate that information and set
up a type of definite report or evaluation of the matter being referred to.
UFOs have consistently produced extraordinary interest
alongside endless paranoid notions. All over the world mysterious
government smoke screens, are hiding or pretending to be unaware of the new and
never ending UFO discoveries.
Jacques Patenet, the aeronautical engineer who heads the
office for the study of “non-identified aerospatial phenomena” has said that
“the data that we are releasing doesn’t demonstrate the presence of
extraterrestrial beings. But it doesn’t demonstrate the impossibility of such
presence either. The questions remain open.”
.“Cases such as the lady who reported seeing an object that
looked like a flying roll of toilet paper” are clearly not worth investigating,
says Patenet.
But many others involving multiple sightings – in at least
one case involving thousands of people across France – and evidence such as
burn marks and radar trackings showing flight patterns or accelerations that
defy the laws of physics are taken very seriously.
A significant number of the UFO sightings reported in the
course of recent many years have been completely clarified. Some were
discovered to be bits of rocket garbage falling back to earth, others tricks.
In one case, a brilliant, consuming item ended up being the sudden ignition of
covered German weapons from the subsequent universal conflict. Yet, CNES
concedes 28% of its X-records "stay unexplained".
In 1967, children in the village of Cussac, spotted
"four small black beings", who rose into the air and entered the
pinnacle of a round item, then returned to the cow field to accumulate
something and ultimately zoomed off into space leaving in the back of
surprisingly dry grass and an odour of sulphur.
In January 1981, a witness claims to have seen a
saucer-formed item land inside the village of Trans-en-Provence. The
evaluation showed that the ground around the scene had been heated up, that the
object weighed numerous hundred pounds, and that surrounding plants
"underwent organic modifications". One of the maximum targeted
sightings came from the pilots of an Air France jet in 1994. All 3 witnessed a
large, reddish-brown disc soaring inside the sky above Paris. Radar proof
appeared to verify the sighting.
In 1979, in Cergy-Pontoise outside Paris, a man displayed at
a police headquarters asserting his companion had been snatched by a UFO — a
splendid light that showed up out and about and gobbled up his vehicle. A few
days after the fact, the man purportedly returned in a field, arising out of a
circle of light. Examiners ventured to such an extreme as to test the man's
blood for signs that he had as of late experienced weightlessness — and they
discovered none. The office named it a fabrication.
Just 9% of France's bizarre marvels have been completely
clarified, the organization said. Specialists discovered likely purposes behind
another 33%, and 30 percent couldn't be distinguished for absence of data.
The archive includes police and expert reports, witness
sketches, maps, photos, video and audio recordings. In all, the archive has
about 1,650 cases on record and 6,000 witness accounts.
The agency said everything in the archive would be
published, except for psychological reports about witnesses and their names.
Most of the time, witnesses were sincere about what they saw, Patenet said.
Very few look for publicity because they fear most of all that they will not be
taken seriously.
On the day of the announcement and the press conference, the
security of the CNES was increased. While calling the release “a world first”
and glowing over his nation’s openness about the UFO subject, Patenet failed to
explain the need to screen out uninvited UFOlogists as an explanation for the
added security. There is virtually no evidence that the agency's records
reflect a fair and impartial view of the phenomenon. However, in relation to
the actions of their American counterpart, it is as though people were allowed
to enter the French intelligence headquarters and go through their files.
Each time American UFO Researchers ask their own space
agency for any information about extraterritorial encounters or unusual
phenomenon encountered by space probes, NASA clams up and sends out the
debunkers en force. Although many astronauts have been forthcoming and very
honest about what they have seen in space, the space agency always slams the
door on them. More than a few were struck between the eyes by NASA, which
claims that the astronaut's statements were the results of space sickness,
fatigue or depression.
The CNES-GEIPAN reports just address what individuals have
answered to the French Government as UFO sightings and experiences. It is not
an arrival of data that allows us to look at everything the French think of
wonder. Although the examinations have clearly been treated in a more skillful
and expert way, it is really minimal beyond a French form of the US. Venture
Blue Book Report. We have seen these kinds of deliveries before in the
course of recent many years.
For each situation, the data came from singular government organizations, not simply the public authority. Data discharges like the first one from CNES and Geipan must be useful as far as exploration and information, however, nobody should give France, Russia or some other country credit for what ought to have been done from the start. It would be a mix-up to offer countries like these praises for delivering pieces and bits of UFO and other paranormal exploration information when such a lot of still remaining parts mysterious.
