France on Thursday became the first country to open its official archives on unidentified flying objects (UFO), said Jacques Patenet, the head of the UFO study group at the National Centre of Space Studies (CNES).
"It's a world first," Patenet said. "It's true that in the United States you can ask for information on a case-by-case basis. But we have done the opposite by putting all the information at the disposition of the public."
The archives are available at http://www.cnes-geipan.fr/geipan/ and currently contain 400 files, about one fourth of the approximately 1,600 UFO sightings reported in France since the 1950s.
All of the files are scheduled to be online by the end of the year, Patenet said.
"We are working on the principle that there is nothing we will not put online with one exception: protecting an individual's privacy," he noted.
The files comprise principally witness statements taken by police officers, with personal data erased.
Patenet cautioned that "ufologists will not find any scoops or unknown cases in this database."

UFO's are a part of the Christian / Jewish propaganda. Not saying they're not ET's or whatever, but there is incentive for Christian/ Jewish media to hype and fabricate this stuff:
Acts 2:17-19 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
I'm not convinced of 3rd dimensional beings not from Earth.
If you go to Rense.com and have a look at their stories and video links of "flying humanoids" and then look on YouTube for a video of a powered flying machine that a human can stand in, it just looks like technology that's not widely known and mistaken for something "not of this world."
But there IS something that's odd that I would consider "unidentified." The worm/snake-like things seen from space and captured in photos that don't resemble anything man-made, but rather seem to be organic. No clue what they are and can't really make an informed decision. So for now they remain unidentified funky things in photographs.
I don't really trust any religious text like the bible, due to too many fingers in the pie. I prefer to trust my instinct and figure things out on my own and not rely on anyone to tell me how things are. I prefer to make things known and not lean on faith. Even if there is a Supreme Creator, I doubt that being would want us to have blind faith.
