What people most often see in the sky

Among explained cases, most “UFOs” turn out to have a very earthly cause.

A method, not a belief

  1. 1

    Official sources

    Government investigations and public archives: GEIPAN (CNES), Project Blue Book (US Air Force)… every record links to the original document.

  2. 2

    A clear status

    Explained, probably explained, insufficient data or unexplained: we say what the investigation concluded, without exaggeration or mockery.

  3. 3
