CNES/GEIPAN UFO computer-database made available on line

CNES/GEIPAN (GROUPE D’ ETUDE ET D’INFORMATION DES PHENOMENES AEROSPATIAUX NON IDENTIFIES) has made available yesterday on its website a CSV file of its database (limited to the cases published so far on line:1566 out of +/-2200) and some new statistics representing identified cases from 2007 to 2012 (393 cases).

It should be stressed that it is the first time that a UAP statistical file is made available by a government.

Whether the granularity and quality of the information is sufficient for a sound analysis by researchers will need to be assessed.

The following CSV file can be downloaded from: http://www.cnes-geipan.fr/index.php?id=202:

facilitating the collection of UAP reports from both amateur and professional
astronomers, via a questionnaire to be downloaded from a dedicated website
