PARIS (AFP) - France became the first country to open its files on UFOs Thursday when the national space agency unveiled a website documenting more than 1,600 sightings spanning five decades. 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. "It is a world first," said Jacques Patenet, the aeronautical engineer who heads the office for the study of "non-identified aerospatial phenomena." 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. complete story |

The Truth?
YOU can't handle the truth.
But it is out there, somewhere.

The Truth is just there to distract you from the real story...

That's an interesting way to think about it I guess if I was a super advanced civilization that could travel billions of miles to another planet......it'd be cool to leave huge-ass graffiti all over the place ~J I just want them to admit that crop circles are just alien graffitti. |
