The French National Center for Space Research recently posted on its website the archives collected over 30 years of activity of JEPAN, an agency for the information and study of unidentified flying objects.
The agency was founded at the Center in 1977, and now its archives contain documents on approximately 1 thousand 600 UFO sightings.
Category D is the most important
All phenomena in the archive are divided into four categories. The first - type A - includes phenomena that lend themselves to simple explanations when it comes to the wreckage of a spaceship or a military object unknown to the general public.
"For example, on February 25, 1985, an object in the form of a cylinder, 50 cm long and 15 cm in diameter, hitting a field was discovered by gendarmes after a call from two eyewitnesses."
When the UFO, unlike any missile known to the military, cooled down, it was removed from the ground and subjected to analysis. At first, it was assumed that a part of the fallen space carrier was found. However, later, experts established by traces of rust on the body that the strange apparatus had been in the ground for a long time. In the end it turned out that just some "experimenters" were able to launch a real rocket, made in the Third Reich!
“Five years later, newspapers announced that France was invaded by cosmic black triangles! At least 70 giant unidentified objects were moving over the country in November 1990! They flew horizontally, one course, the distance between individual UFOs ranged from 5 to 25 kilometers."

"However, the next day, the ZHEPAN agency spread a report that the French observed in the upper atmosphere only the disintegration of the Soviet satellite Horizon."
"Category B of the archive also includes explainable objects or phenomena that cause certain doubts, and category C includes phenomena that can be classified, but there is too little data about them."
And only in category D are phenomena that do not fit into any of the schemes and cannot be explained. There are just over 13 percent of these registered in France, and it is they who are commonly called UFOs.
Behind such unexplained phenomena, according to French researchers, genuine scientific revolutions may be hidden. That is why the Space Research Center decided to open its archives in order to draw the attention of not only the world scientific community to the problem, but also all those who are interested in the mysteries of UFOs.
France, which was the first in the world to decide to post its UFO archives on the Internet in free access, showed interest in them at the official level back in the mid-fifties of the twentieth century, when the country's Ministry of Defense began collecting reports of all unidentified phenomena.
Having done a careful selection of messages from the population, specialists in the early seventies came to the conclusion that most often UFO eyewitnesses turn to the gendarmes for some reason. Therefore, the collection of information on the sighting of UFOs was entrusted to the national gendarmerie. Its workers were provided with instructions, special questionnaires for interviewing eyewitnesses and special instruments to facilitate the investigation of aerospace anomalies.
For example, among other things, the gendarmes were given cameras with NASA attachments in the form of diffraction gratings, since ordinary photographs of objects glowing in the sky do not carry useful information. With the help of new technology, it became possible to reveal spectral characteristics, due to which the nature of anomalous light can be understood by science.
"Something" in the alfalfa field
The gendarmes, notified of the landing of a UFO or its passage, immediately leave for the site, meet with eyewitnesses, draw up a detailed protocol, photograph the tracks, if any. At the request of eyewitnesses, the applicant's anonymity is guaranteed.
They themselves have repeatedly witnessed UFO sightings. So, on the evening of August 24, 1975, 15 gendarmes at once observed a bright saucer-shaped object in the sky over Chapelle-Saint-Frey, moving from north to east. The observation continued for an hour.
ZHEPAN became the first and possibly the only state-owned UFO research agency in the West. It receives data not only from the gendarmerie, but also from the police, army, air force, navy and civil aviation. These messages are being analyzed by a group of experts, including psychologists, astronomers, meteorologists, atmospheric physics, space technology, balloons and probes.
For some time, ZHEPAN included rapid response groups, a group for analyzing traces, collecting and processing primary information. The agency is currently collecting eyewitness testimony from UFOs, searching for possible scientific explanations and conducting archival work.
The archives of the French Space Research Center include police reports and protocols, eyewitness accounts of unidentified flying objects, maps, photographs, videos, audio recordings and hand-drawn sketches.
Currently, not all accumulated materials are available through the Center's website. However, over time, almost all classified information will be made publicly available.
One of the reasons that prompted France to release data on human contacts with UFOs was accusations of deliberately concealing materials about unexplained phenomena. In addition, the Space Research Center expects that the publication of information will help unravel or at least somehow explain space phenomena.
ZHEPAN receives up to 100 UFO reports annually, usually pre-registered by the gendarmerie. In 10% of cases, experts visit the scene.
According to the head of the agency, Jacques Patene, all information is subject to publication, except for the names of eyewitnesses who observed UFOs, and data on their mental health.
“According to the documents, the first appearance of a flying saucer in France was recorded in 1937. And one of the most mysterious cases, according to Jacques Patene, dates back to 1981. Then in Trans-en-Provence, with a characteristic whistle in the alfalfa field, something sank."
An eyewitness to the incident, a bricklayer by profession, in his testimony to the gendarmerie, supplemented during a later conversation with the ZHEPAN researchers, set out the following basic facts.
On January 8, at 5 pm, he was doing something near his house, when he suddenly heard a faint whistle and saw some flying object, landing with a dull noise 70 meters away from him.
“The witness approached him about 30 meters and began to examine. The lead-colored object, 2.5 m in diameter and 1.7 m high, looked like two plates stacked together with the bottoms out."
In just a few seconds, it took off vertically a few meters, raising some dust, banked and carried away with great speed.
“At the landing site, they found settled soil, where traces were visible, as if the earth was scraped with something. Both the representatives of the gendarmerie, who arrived the next day after the incident, and later the ZHEPAN researchers testified the presence of a crown-shaped track with an inner diameter of 2.3 m and an outer diameter of 2.4 m, where in some places areas covered with black grooves resembling traces from scraping."
“Soil samples taken from the corona were sent to various laboratories. The analysis showed that the soil was subjected to strong mechanical pressure, as well as noticeable temperature effects."
Samples of wild alfalfa were also taken from various locations. An analysis carried out in the laboratory of the National Institute of Agronomic Research recorded biochemical changes in plants, and they were the more, the closer the alfalfa of this sample was located to the center of the crown.
The reason for the changes could not be determined. She, according to the researchers, was not associated with exposure to gamma radiation. Perhaps it was about some kind of energy field, similar to an electric one, but modern knowledge about the effect of such fields on plants was completely insufficient for such statements.
Angel hair in Orolon Santa Marie
The largest amount of evidence of UFO sightings in French airspace was recorded in 1952-54. Most often, aliens came here in August and October, preferring the evening.
So, on October 17, 1952, cylindrical objects and at least 30 more cone-shaped, plate-like objects were seen in the sky over Orolon-Sante-Marie and several other villages in southwestern France.
At the same time, flying by, the plates left a long trail of filamentous substance that sank down and enveloped trees, roofs and other open surfaces. But as soon as he touched these surfaces, it instantly disappeared. Somewhat later, ufologists all over the world began to call this substance "angel hair".
One of the eyewitnesses of the phenomenon, the director of the Orolon school, said that his attention, as well as the attention of his wife and children, was initially attracted by an unusual cumulus cloud, over which an elongated cylindrical object soon appeared. Puffs of white smoke escaped from it, and about 30 other moving objects could be seen to the side.
Through field glasses, the director could see that they looked like reddish glowing balls surrounded by yellow rings. The balls moved across the sky in pairs. When the pair diverged a short distance, a whitish line connecting them became noticeable. From each pair, long white trails remained in the sky, which, decaying, slowly descended to the ground in the form of flakes.
A few hours later, the trees, wires and roofs of houses were covered with shreds of a mysterious filamentous substance. All attempts to somehow collect and preserve it were unsuccessful: the flakes immediately turned into a gelatinous mass and quickly evaporated.
In 1957, over a French stadium during a football match, five UFOs also dropped a large amount of white flakes, which lay on the stadium for several days, spreading an unimaginable aroma throughout the city.
The majority of French eyewitnesses (60%) who met with aliens from other worlds claim that their contacts took place one-on-one. In seven out of ten cases, aliens prefer to date male people. The average age of contactees is 28 years.
They say that the inhabitants of UFOs, as a rule, are small in stature - only about a meter or a little more, and the alien ships themselves are mostly in the form of an oval or disk.
“In January 1994, at an altitude of 11,900 meters, two pilots of the Air France A-300 airbus saw exactly a red-brown disc-shaped UFO that accompanied their Nice-London flight for about a minute at a speed of 650 km per hour. Fearing ridicule, the pilots were silent about what happened for six years."
Only after they came across a report from the French air defense about a phenomenon recorded at the same time and in the same area by radars, they prepared their report, which coincided with the data of military instruments. Experts from the ZHEPAN group are still guessing that it flew.
Doctor X's Secret
French ufologist Aimé Michel once marked on the map of France the places where UFO sightings were recorded by eyewitnesses. And it turned out that reports of their observation for one day came not from chaotically located points, but from places located on the map along one straight line. Moreover, it was not about one "saucer" flying in a straight line, but about different ones that had different shapes and configurations.
That is, all UFOs observed in one day in different provinces of France, for some unknown reason, adhered to the same flight line.
Another conclusion of Aimé Michel is that UFOs, in his opinion, come to Earth from an extremely complex automatic spacecraft that arrived in the solar system thousands of years ago and was launched into an orbit passing near the Earth, which is still in it. UFOs are one of the aspects of the activities of this ship, which is engaged in all kinds of studies of the solar system and especially the Earth.
In 1968, Michel investigated a rather mysterious case involving the impact of a UFO on a person.
The incident took place in the south of France on the night of November 2. Dr. X. (only ZHEPAN employees know his real name) woke up at about 4 o'clock in the morning, awakened by the screams of his 14-month-old son.
The father went to the baby's room and saw the reflections of light penetrating there from the outside. The child also noticed the light and pointed with his little hands to the window. Dr. X. went out onto the balcony to see what was happening.
He saw two identical discs arranged horizontally. Each was silvery white above and the color of the setting sun below, and each had a long vertical antenna at the top and a shorter horizontal antenna at the side.
Using familiar landmarks on the ground, X estimated the discs to be about 200 feet in diameter and about 50 feet thick. The UFOs were approximately 700 feet above the house.
Soon, the two discs formed a single unit, and this object moved in the direction of Dr. X. The apparatus directed a beam of white light at him, and then, with a loud roar, disappeared. This left a plume of white matter that looked like cotton candy. (Already familiar to us hair of an angel.) At the moment of disappearance from the UFO, a thin object stood out, flew up and soon exploded like fireworks.
Shocked by what he saw, Dr. X. entered the house and there he found that two wounds on his body (one of them he had received three days earlier while chopping wood, and the second was a large scar left in memory of the war in Algeria) incomprehensible way disappeared!
Aimé Michel, after investigating this episode, wrote in his conclusion: "Absolutely all the consequences of being wounded in the Algerian war that haunted Dr. X for 10 years have completely disappeared!"
A little later, the doctor noticed that in the navel area he had a triangular redness. About the same redness was found on the skin of his little son.
In addition, a mysterious tall brown-haired man with blue eyes began to regularly visit the doctor. He taught X. the paranormal and allegedly made time travel with him.
The doctor called this man Mr. Weed. One day, "Mr. Weed" visited X accompanied by a small humanoid. He did not utter a word, but carefully examined everything around. There was also another curious case involving "Weed". Once, when X. and his wife were preparing to receive guests, the doctor said that he would go into the yard and drive the car out of the sun into the shade."
Already in the car, X. felt an irresistible urge to go to the city. There he met Mr. Weed, and he said that they needed to take a little trip. The next thing that remained in the mind of X. is that he is in Paris, hundreds of kilometers from his family! He called his wife from the capital and almost immediately found himself at home again, completely dumbfounded by what had happened to him …
By the way, there are many celebrities among UFO eyewitnesses. In France, the book Stars Talk Strange has recently been published, which tells about the paranormal phenomena that famous French personalities had to face. One of the heroes of the book is the director Robert Hossein, who twice in his life saw UFOs.
“Not far from Reims, my friends and I saw glowing circles rushing right over us at breakneck speed, and silently,” Hossein recalls. - A few days later, the phenomenon was repeated. I was driving in the car, and I was accompanied by all the same bright balls, rushing along the highway without sound."
On another occasion, Hossein noticed a flying saucer during the filming of one of the films: “A clear, even triangle of green color descended from the sky and hovered right above us. The rate of decline was breathtaking. Then he froze, hung a little and just as quickly got up and disappeared."
First wave of observations
“Whether out of fear, or subconsciously, Pierre tried to enter into a conversation with them, but in response to his appeal he heard some intermittent, completely inarticulate sounds. Deciding that he was being joked, he tried to play along with the strangers and asked if they were aliens."
“And at that moment Pierre saw the pies shining with a metallic sheen behind the trees, enveloped in a luminous cloud. Mysterious creatures silently sat in them, after which strange devices slowly rose into the sky …"
"About 200 scientists and UFO experts from 18 countries of the world took part in the First European Meeting of UFO Scientists in October last year, which was held in the north-west of France in the city of Chalon-en-Champagne."
"The meeting discussed issues such as alien abductions and psychological analysis of UFO visits."
The organizer of the meeting and the head of one of the largest French non-governmental organizations dealing with UFO issues, Gerard Leba, said that research on such phenomena is necessary, since for 25 percent of all phenomena occurring in the country, no explanation was found.
According to Loeb, reports of UFOs come not only from eyewitnesses. They are also recorded by technical devices such as radars. They record the movement of objects in the atmosphere, sometimes moving at speeds up to 10 thousand kilometers per hour and capable of changing course by 90 degrees in flight. With the help of engines produced on Earth, this is impossible.
In 1952-54, the first powerful wave of UFO sightings swept across France. One of the most interesting alien encounters during this period occurred in September 1954.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Marius Deville, a resident of the village of Karubl, heard the furious barking of his dog outside the window. Marius took the lantern, went out into the street and began to peer into the darkness. Noticing a huge dark object on the railway tracks laid a few dozen meters from his house, he turned on the flashlight to get a better look, and immediately saw two dwarfs in shiny tight-fitting suits right in front of him.
Deville in surprise directed a flashlight beam to one of the aliens in the face. In response, almost instantly, a more powerful beam of light hit him from a dark object standing on the rails, after which Deville realized that he was paralyzed!
Marius regained the ability to move only after the aliens returned to the UFO, and he almost silently rose into the air and disappeared into the dark sky.
In the morning, the gendarmes who arrived at the scene found impressive dents on the railway sleepers. Subsequently, experts established that the mass of the object standing on them exceeded 30 tons!
After this and other similar cases, which received wide media coverage, the French Secretary of State for the Armed Forces even had to order the special services to find out if the eyewitness accounts of anomalous phenomena collected by the gendarmerie and the Air Force contained information of interest to national security.
The birth of the ZHEPAN agency
At the beginning of 1974, a new wave of UFO sightings took place across the country, causing another stir in the press. Dozens of Frenchmen during this period became involuntary witnesses of the appearance of flying saucers both in the sky of the country and on the ground.
In April 1974, the famous French ufologist Jean Bede received by mail from an eyewitness who wished to remain anonymous, a fairly high-quality photograph of a UFO. The letter attached to the photo said that the picture was taken on March 23 near Albiosk in the Vosges, at 23.30.
An eyewitness, a doctor by profession, was returning home that evening from his patient. Driving along a deserted country road, he suddenly saw "this flying saucer" in the field. Four white luminous columns sticking out under the belly of the apparatus, apparently, were either light beams or landing legs of the chassis type.
“Although only an anonymous doctor managed to photograph the UFO, he, as it soon turned out, was not the only witness of the mysterious phenomenon. Ufologists also received reports of a similar saucer from residents of the neighboring village of Tillo."
French Defense Minister Robert Halley, who, on duty, had to track all information about the appearance of unidentified flying objects on the country's territory, in mid-1974 recommended the relevant services to take an unbiased position with respect to UFOs and begin scientific research of the phenomenon. From that time on, all certificates received by the National Gendarmerie and the Air Force began to be transferred to the National Center for Space Research.
Three years later, an agency for information and study of unidentified flying objects, ZHEPAN, was created at the Center.
Today ZHEPAN is analyzing reports coming mainly from the gendarmerie, a structure that, among other things, is charged with being the first to contact eyewitnesses of anomalous phenomena.
"With each witness separately, researchers from the gendarmerie first reconstruct the" claimed "observation. For this, a special device called SIMOVNI (UFO simulator) has been developed: an eyewitness looks at the landscape through a special optical device, which, at the request of the witness and the researcher, projects various static and dynamic color images simulating UFOs."
This is done in order to initially find out whether a person really saw a UFO, or some rare natural phenomenon explainable by science.
The research team then organizes a conversation with each witness (still individually) in order to get to know him better. Particular attention is paid to the reaction of the witness during the observation, to his opinion about what he saw and to his scientific knowledge. The natural conditions in the area of the incident are described in detail. If necessary, samples of soil and vegetation are taken for laboratory analysis.
To clarify the observation data, ZHEPAN developed special optical NASA, with which the gendarmerie equipped its employees' cameras. These NASA gratings, which contain diffraction gratings, work like a prism and allow when photographing any anomalous light source to reveal its spectral characteristics, so that the nature of such a source can be understood much better.
The fact of the abduction was not established
One of the first opportunities to touch the world of space aliens for the JEPAN agency appeared in 1979, when a local resident disappeared from his car near Paris in Cergy-Pontoise after contact with a luminous body.
This case has now become a UFO classic. Here is how domestic ufologists A. Varakin and L. Zdanovich describe it.
“On November 26, 1979, early in the morning, two Frenchmen - Jean Pierre Prévost and Solomon N'Dai (both 25 years old) - reported to the Cergy-Pontoise gendarmerie about the strange disappearance of their young friend Frank Fontaine (18 years old). According to the young people, over Frank's old Ford they saw a silvery cloud and colored balls flashing in it, like tennis balls. A cloud enveloped the cab and the hood of the car, and nothing could be seen through it. Friends saw how a cloud suddenly gathered in a light pipe, and the pipe went into the sky … Fontaine was not behind the wheel of the car. Running up to the car, the guys saw only that the ignition was on, the headlights were on, and the gear lever was in third gear. Although the Ford engine was not working!"
Franck Fontaine appeared exactly one week later, on December 3, in the same place from which he disappeared. At the same time, he had absolutely no idea that a whole week had passed, and not having found the car in the place where it should have been, he decided that it had been stolen by intruders.
In the gendarmerie, Frank stated the following. He was driving a car, and two friends were loading jeans into the trunk so that the three of them could go to sell them to the neighboring town of Gisor. It was then that Fontaine noticed a streak falling to the ground in the sky, like a trail from a jet liner. Drawing the attention of friends to a celestial object, Frank immediately went to see what it was, deciding that the plane was falling.
Further, Frank saw that colored balls appeared above the hood of his car, which floated in the air and bounced funny. The guy suddenly fell into a strange sleepiness … and fell asleep.
“I woke up in a room with white walls, like a classroom, - said Frank. - There were a lot of cars. I cannot say what they were for. There were luminous dials everywhere. I was lying…"
According to Frank, there were some kind of glowing, moving balls about the size of an orange in the room. He got the impression that, if not the balls themselves, then someone was talking to him through them. The balloons had a mechanical voice, and speech was slow.
“I woke up and they started talking to me,” Frank recalled. - They are very smart, very wise people. Do you know why they do not come into contact with earthlings? They are afraid that their knowledge and science will be used for bad purposes."
From further testimony from the guy, it turned out that the balls are inhabitants of another world, who devoted themselves only to science. Earthly science seemed to them primitive, and people - subjects who in no case should be engaged in science, because they use its achievements not for good, but for harm. The balls regularly visit our planet, but they do not feel delight from humanity.
“After a while, Frank woke up in the same place where he had disappeared so mysteriously. I thought I fell asleep for half an hour, - he admitted."
The blood test of a representative of the human race abducted by aliens contained alcohol, so the interest in this fact from ZHEPAN government officials disappeared. smile They considered Frank's story to be fiction.
By the way, the first case of disappearance of a resident of France, presumably associated with UFO activities, was investigated by the French police back in 1912. Natalie Vernier, eight, played that evening on the canal between Arles and Perron. Suddenly, out of nowhere appeared strange tall creatures in metal spacesuits. They took the girl by force to a round object with rectangular windows and, having made her sit on a soft sofa in a bright room, disappeared.
Looking around, the girl was frightened and began to cry. Almost immediately, a hole opened in the ceiling, and creatures of small stature, bald, with large eyes without lids, with three fingers descended from above. The creatures began to bring unknown devices to the girl's body. Natalie had a feeling of indifference and a premonition that this was not the last meeting.
And, indeed, two years later, Natalie Vernier again met with small creatures, now at home. Parents were not at home, she was sitting in the kitchen. Suddenly, lights flashed outside the window, an orange glow filled the room. Immediately, as if out of the ground, five old acquaintances appeared. They silently took the girl into the room, took out some devices. Then they gave a vessel with a reddish liquid. "Drink!" - Natalie heard a voice, although none of the creatures opened their mouths. The girl drank and fell asleep instantly. Parents returned home to find her lying on the kitchen floor.
"Scarecrow" in the cemetery
In general, as practice shows, children come into contact with aliens, or at least observe them in close proximity to themselves, quite often. On an August morning in 1987, two children (13 and 8 years old) were herding cows near the village of Cussac in the Massif Central region.
Suddenly the animals were seized with fear, they huddled together. In the next instant, a shiny spherical object about 2.5 meters in diameter landed in the meadow. Four creatures emerged from it, dressed in black overalls. They circled the terrain in strange leaps and then boarded their ship, which at first began to emit a blinding light, and then slowly climbed up and began to recede at a low altitude.
The animals in the meadow then became even more agitated. The dog barked furiously. The frightened children rushed home. Their shock was so strong that for some time they suffered from a mental disorder.
“The gendarmes who arrived at the scene did not find any traces of the aliens. However, they noticed a persistent smell of sulfur in the area of their planting. The ZHEPAN agency, after analyzing the situation, came to the conclusion that there is no reason to believe that the children invented this story. Nothing in their family environment gave rise to such fantasies."
No less, if not more, the history of the French spouses Leboeuf, which happened to them in 1954, is known among ufologists. One day they decided to spend a weekend in the town of Chabei (Drome department). Situated at the edge of the forest, not far from the cemetery, where at that time there were many people, Madame Leboeuf with the dog went deep into the thicket.
“Suddenly the animal started barking and then howled. The woman looked back and saw that the dog was standing on the border of a wheat field in front of some scarecrow. Coming closer, she saw that a scarecrow about 90 cm high was wearing a plastic diving suit and a translucent helmet."
Suddenly she realized that something was inside the suit, and saw that through the helmet she was looking at her eyes larger than human. The moment she realized this, the spacesuit began to move towards her with a quick waddling gait.
Not expecting such actions from an ordinary scarecrow, Madame Leboeuf fell to her knees and literally screamed in horror. Trying to hide, she crawled into a nearby bush and did not notice when the alien disappeared.
A few seconds later, a large, round and rather flat object rose from the nearby trees and began to move over the wheat field at low speed. A moderate whistling sound was heard. The object crossed a wheat field, climbed slightly higher, then suddenly turned around and quickly flew northeast, gradually gaining altitude.
Madame Leboeuf was found in a state of nervous shock, she was taken to the village and put to bed, in which she lay for two days in a strong fever.
People who were in the cemetery later claimed that they also saw a strange aerial object.
Aliens are invited to television
In addition to ZHEPAN, UFO problems in France are being dealt with by a voluntary Committee for Advanced Research - COMETA, consisting mainly of current and former high-ranking officials and heads of the Institute for National Defense Problems. Air Force General Denis Leti is in charge of this structure.
“Three years ago, the UFO and Defense Report on the UFO problem was published by the Committee. Having worked on the UFO issue for several years and systematizing facts confirmed by solid observers, the COMET staff came to the unequivocal conclusion that unidentified flying objects exist and the most acceptable hypothesis is their alien origin."
The report cites several well-documented UFO sightings in France. One of them happened on July 1, 1965. In a lavender field in Valensole, farmer Maurice Massé noticed an egg-shaped object, 15 feet wide, lowered into his field and came closer to examine it.
“At the object, he met two small humanoids (about 4 feet), wearing what looked like green ski suits. The creatures had disproportionately large heads and huge slanting eyes, and were very similar to the grays from the descriptions of contact with aliens in the United States."
One of the creatures extended a rod towards Masse and temporarily paralyzed him. The humanoids then boarded their ship and flew away. After this incident, Masse found it difficult to wake up in the morning, and he found that he now needed about twelve hours of sleep daily versus five to six hours before contact.
In contrast to Americans, who often describe the feelings of dread generated by such contacts, Massé felt at peace throughout the meeting.
“As the authors of the report“UFOs and Defense”declare, aliens do not study earthlings, but simply want to accustom us to the idea that they exist. If we conditionally treat them as opponents, although they have not shown hostility so far, with the exception of two cases of dangerous maneuvering fraught with a catastrophe of an earthly plane, then it is necessary to seriously study them, to understand their intentions and mode of action."
When asked by journalists what is missing, what link in the chain of reasoning and evidence, so that people are convinced that aliens exist, the head of SOMET answered with a joke. “One is missing,” he said. “It is necessary that a couple of these creatures take part in the evening TV news broadcast” …
