France recently became the first country to open its files on UFO’s. The national space agency of France unveiled a website documenting more than 1700 sightings spanning over five decades.

The online france ufo files archives available on the website will be updated as new cases are reported. These archives will consist of even the minutest detail of the cases. Popularly known as OVNIs in french, the UFO’s have always generated intense interest along with a large number of conspiracy theories about goverment and military cover ups of findings which are deemed too sensitive or alarming for public consumption.

There are many individual france ufo files cases, which can not be investigated due to lack of evidence or witneeses. But there are also a large number of cases involving multiple witnesses. There are cases of UFO sightings in France involving hundreds of witnesses and physical evidences such as burn marks, accelerations that defy the laws of physics or radar trackings showing flight patterns.

Of the 1700 france ufo files, cases registered since early 1950’s. 25 % of them are categorized into type “D” that means “despite good data and credible witnesses, we are confronted with something that we cannot explain”. Such incident occurred on 8 January 1981, outside a small town in southern France. A farmer working in the field saw a saucer shaped object about 2.5 meters in diameter and emitting whistling sound. The saucer then landed some 50 meters away from him. After a couple of minutes it again ascended and diappaeraed in sky. When the investigating team reached there, they found burn marks on the soil and suggested that an object weighing a nearly two hundred kilograms landed there. But they were unable to explain the incident.

Another popular UFO sighting in France, occurred on 5th November 1990. This sighting was witnessed by around 1000 people who said that they saw flashing bright lights in the sky on that day.

It is said that around 50-100 UFO sightings are reported each year, which is usally written up by the local police. However there are countries like like Britain and the US which collect data more or less systematically about unidentified flying objects. In United States, a person can access the UFO data under the Freedom of Information Act. However, France is the first country to make the UFO data public. The reason for making these france ufo files data public is to make it easier for scientists and other UFO buffs to access the data for research.
