French Space Agency to publish ufo phenomena

PARIS (Reuters) - The French space agency is to publish its archive of UFO sightings and other phenomena online, but will keep the names of those who reported them off the site to protect them from pestering by space fanatics.
Jacques Arnould, an official at the National Space Studies Center (CNES), said the French database of around 1,600 incidents would go live in late January or mid-February. He said the CNES had been collecting statements and documents for almost 30 years to archive and study them. "Often they are made to the Gendarmerie, which provides an official witness statement ... and some come from airline pilots," he said by telephone.
Given the success of films about visitations from outer space like "E.T.", "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" and "Independence Day", the CNES archive is likely to prove a hit. It consists of around 6,000 reports, many relating to the same incident, filed by the public and airline professionals. Their names would not be published to protect their privacy, Arnould said.
Advances in technology over the past three decades had prompted the decision to put the archive online, he said, adding it would likely be available via the CNES website www.cnes.fr.

I'm glad they're doing it, but really, all of this sort of information has been out there for a very long time, even here in the US. People who don't believe, aren't going to believe no matter what you show them.

A UFO could land on their head and they would tell you that it was an Airforce project.

And if the aliens landed on the front lawn of the White House to greet the President, people would say it was staged for political gain.

This is true indeed. I like the analogy of landing on one's head though!

I doubt you can find a person alive that doesn't think UFOs are real.
little green men is another matter

This is good. Im telling you the who UFO idea is really hitting main stage these days. Im wondering if its a way to desensitize for some big announcement in the near future. Maybe Im dreaming.

Oh Im big into UFOs thats how I found this site. Im anti government in general so the idea that I feel the government knows more on ETs and UFOs fits right into my Anti Government personality

Seems theres a new news lead on big document disclosures a lot these last few months. I'm glad that other major countries are taking initiative on releasing some documentation..... Do you really believe that they will disclose everything though??? Probably not IMO. It's still a big step in the right direction though. I tend to lean toward the slow disclosure theory every time i hear about government related disclosure.

I don't think we're ever going to have a world leader come strait forward say "hey poppulace we've been in contact with aliens for the last 65 years... oh and they've been here since the dawn of man keeping tabs on us" never gonna happen. I'm not complaining though. 6,000 reports should give us some good reading material for a hwile though
