French UFO Archives

Ah, you crazy French! We here at Mysterious Earth are looking forward to sightings regarding the Eiffel Tower - and we imagine there’s some reports from the Left Bank of Paris as well!

In some exciting news for UFO researchers and enthusiasts, the French government has announced they will be publishing their entire UFO sighting archive - only removing individual names to provide anonymity!

The French space agency said it will 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 Centre, said the French database of around 1,600 incidents would go live in late January or mid-February.

And, by the way, Happy New Year - hopefully 2007 will be a great year for strange and unusual events from around the world!
