France has become the first country of the world to open files on UFOs.
The findings were released Thursday, when the French Space Agency released a website documenting more than 1,600 strange sightings spanning over 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 bewilder even the greatest researchers.
OVNIs as known in France, UFOs have always generated intense interest along with countless conspiracy theories about the secretive government cover-ups of findings deemed too sensitive or alarming for public consumption.
People also have remained perplexed about the existence of life anywhere in this vast universe. We have not been able to check out a major part of this never-ending universe and mostly all the astronomers are of the belief that there should be life elsewhere in this Universe.
Many people have also reported strange sightings, some can be termed as fake but some have not been answered till date.
UFOs are not only sighted by common man but some high profile people have also reported and confirmed that they also have witnessed some strange beings and crafts flying in the atmosphere.
Of the 1,600 cases registered since 1954 nearly 25% are classified as ‘Type D’. This rating means that despite good or even very good data and credible witnesses, researchers are confronted with something that they are not able to explain.
One of the strangest encounter dates back to January 8, 1981. On this date a man working in a field reported hearing some strange whistling sound and seeing a saucer-like object about 2.5 meters in diameter land in his field about 50 meters away. The saucer then took off and the case was immediately reported to the Police. Cops took the pictures of the spot and also collected and analyzed samples of strange burn marks on the field from where the saucer like object took off. But till date no satisfactory explanation has been provided for the incident.
Government agencies are still holding back the topic stating that there is not much proof that aliens exist and also little proof that they do not exist.
Surely moves like this one can turn the tables and may be one day we get to meet out alien brothers if they actually exist.
Still one question remains that if the alien civilization is so advanced that they can come to the Earth, then why don’t they try and contact us...?
