France's Space Agency Makes UFO Files Public

The French Space Agency with approval of the French government has become the first major world state to make public it's 50 years of UFO files and reports this week. There are details of 1,600 UFO incidents with 6,000 witness accounts, and at least 25% of the incidents in France since 1954 rank as "Type D" incidents which are seen as unexplained and with credible witnesses.

Some staggering accounts as well as photographic evidence of some very unusual activity are posted on the French Space Agency site at: www.cnes.fr/web/4461-geipan.php although the site is written in the French language, so some translation skills are required to read the text or fully comprehend the data or photographs posted on the site.

In at least one incident, a saucer shaped craft landed in the South of France and left burnt marks on the soil when it took off shortly after landing. Other credible accounts offer staggering information, and some photos are absolutely startling as well as puzzling.

At one time both president Jimmy Carter, who once witnessed an UFO while fishing and then Ronald Reagan sought to make American UFO files more public. But when fomer CIA director George Bush entered office in 1989, he quickly move to again suppress any UFO information collected by the government from public view. Whether the French disclosures will inspire more world governments including the U.S. towards better public disclosure is yet to be seen.
