Out of this world transparency


In a move to become more transparent and address accusations that authorites are ”covering up the truth”, the French space agency CNES has put its archive of UFO sightings online.

“In this manner we want to prove that our work is transparent,” Jacques Patenet, the expert on UFOs at CNES, said on Thursday in Paris.

In the past 30 years there have been 1,600 sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects in France, according to tech news service heise.de. The CNES is a state organization that also observes “extraterrestrial phenomena.” They are working on adding photos and videos related to the sightings.
