France Opens Secret UFO Files

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the mulder-and-scully dept.

Radon360 notes that France has become the first country to open its files on UFOs. A new website lists over 1600 sightings dating back to the 1950s. "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. 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."

    And perhaps another field detailing how many people surrendered to them?

    We know that no UFOs have ever visited France because the French would have surrendered to them.

    So, do the files indicate how many times the French government tried to surrender to the UFOs?
