France's National Space Studies Centre (CNES) is to put its UFO archive online this spring.

A group within the organisation known as the Rare Aerospace Phenomena Study Department (SEPRA) has been collecting reports of UFO sightings and now has over 6,000 documents relating to "strange sightings".

Jacques Arnould, project leader at CNES, said that the organisation will put its whole archives online for world viewing by mid-February.

"Often the [sightings] are made to the Gendarmerie, which provides an official witness statement, and some come from airline pilots," Arnould told Reuters.

The reports cover some 1,200 UFO sightings within French national borders, and represent 30 years of investigations.

All names will be excised from the records before they go online to protect the privacy of the reporters.

this is great news, I look foward to reading what comes out of this

As great news as this is, it would be so much better if the reports were made to the media. Using a different perspective for a minute: when this stuff goes on-line, skeptics and UFO debunkers could easily debunk this information since a lot of the stuff on the net turns out not to be true any how and that's how I think this information would be ridden off.

No matter, we know it's true so that's really the main point.

Everybody just have to decide for themselves and not listen to others unless they think it's valuable.
Most people going out and debunk stuff at first sight don't have much to back their story up anyway.

Most people who debunk stuff also only read about half or the first few sentences of long posts... I have noticed that most of them don't even finish reading the information before saying it's false. You can't make an opinion on a story you only know part of it's just ignorant...

I can't wait to start reading about these sightings. Would be a great source of information.

Fools.

Typical French to go online and show how they know nothing about
German engineerring, British suppresed Maxwell equations, American investments
and Tesla's technological advancements.
