\nFrench space agency to publish UFO archive online<\/span>
\nFri Dec 29, 2006 9:16 AM ET<\/span><\/p>\n

PARIS
\n(Reuters) – The French space agency is to publish its archive of UFO
\nsightings and other phenomena online, but will keep the names of those
\nwho reported them off the site to protect them from pestering by space
\nfanatics.<\/p>\n

Jacques Arnould, an official at the National Space
\nStudies Center (CNES), said the French database of around 1,600
\nincidents would go live in late January or mid-February.<\/p>\n

He said the CNES had been collecting statements and documents for almost 30 years to archive and study them.<\/p>\n

"Often
\nthey are made to the Gendarmerie, which provides an official witness
\nstatement … and some come from airline pilots," he said by telephone.<\/p>\n

Given
\nthe success of films about visitations from outer space like "E.T.",
\n"Close Encounters of The Third Kind" and "Independence Day", the CNES
\narchive is likely to prove a hit.<\/p>\n

It consists of around 6,000
\nreports, many relating to the same incident, filed by the public and
\nairline professionals. Their names would not be published to protect
\ntheir privacy, Anould said.<\/p>\n

Advances in technology over the past
\nthree decades had prompted the decision to put the archive online, he
\nsaid, adding it would likely be available via the CNES website
\nwww.cnes.fr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
