The National d'Etudes Spatiales , or French National Space Agency, has opened approximately 400 of its 1600 documented U.F.O. sightings files spanning the last fifty years by creating a web site that makes them available to the general public. At the time of this article the web site was so inundated with curiosity seekers that it was completely inaccessible. France is the first country to release all their official U.F.O data in this way. Other U.K. countries and the U.S. will only supply the information under the Freedom of Information Act on a case by case basis.
Only about 9 percent of France's U.F.O sightings have been fully explained, while about 33 percent have "likely explanations."
As soon as the hype subsides and the official site becomes more accessible, don't exactly expect an X-Files type experience, as you wade through about 6,000 documents (many about the same incident) that span the spectrum from, "It was like a giant toilet roll." to "I saw a giant glass balloon."

Now that France has opened up this information for public consumption, it makes it seem pretty odd that the U.S. won't do the same. Why not? From the percentages mentioned for France, it really looks like there are a lot of unexplained events out there. I hope this finally opens some eyes.
