UFOs: STUDY, UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE

UFOs: STUDY, UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE

Yves Sillard, general engineer of armaments, including one of the fathers of Ariane, former executive director of the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and then Ifremer, Delegate General for Armaments, Deputy Secretary General NATO for scientific affairs and the environment, accepted the presidency of the steering committee of the new scientific Geipan (Group of studies and information on unidentified aerial phenomena) at CNES. It gives us his understanding of the necessary research on a phenomenon sensitive to be addressed with great rigour.

"When a luminous phenomenon is seen by pilots, possibly from the ground, recorded by radar flight and ground radar, there are good reasons to suppose that an object has moved in the sky, not just a phenomenon, an object. When we see traces the soil, vegetation severely disrupted, photosynthesis, which no longer works, one is naturally led to make the same assumption. That is all we can say now. " Alluding to the event "historic" studied in depth (Airbus A320 Air France 1994, Trans-en-Provence 1981, Nancy 1982, etc.), An authoritative opinion finally really poses the problem of almost official.

In 1977, he had created within the CNES, which he led, Gepan to study what is commonly known as UFOs. The Sepra its successor, with an expansion of the study in all weather returned. In recent weeks, he accepted the chairmanship of a steering committee expanded to support and evaluate the work of the new Geipan, placed under the responsibility of an engineer of CNES, Jacques Patenet. Participants in this committee representatives of the National Gendarmerie, the National Police, the Air Force, civil aviation, Meteo France and four top scientists in different fields. This new guidance followed an internal audit of CNES, which showed the need to enhance the first service, for further assistance, to provide resources, its head out of the isolation in which his predecessor was.

The "i" of the new Geipan, is for "information" because, said Yves Sillard, "is an interesting topic that can not be treated by ignoring it, it makes no sense. We must meet the expectations of thousands of people who have seen things and would like to know what they saw, it's part of the work of CNES. " It keeps "the desire to show that there is nothing secret. We want to hear the comments, make available to everyone the maximum of information". Mr. Sillard remains in a decidedly rational approach, "saying it is not impossible so it does not exist, an attitude that is absolutely anti-science that I do not understand." It is not unaware of "the passionate reactions, operations disinformation astounding whose objective, it is unclear why, is to destabilize, even ridicule people dealing with this sort of thing."

The Geipan inform but strictly protect the identity and origin of witnesses, including Yves Sillard stresses the positive attitude to the taunts from all sources. "This is absurd, because when you see something, we must try to understand." The information after investigations and analyses will be available on a web site whose creation may take a few months.

"This committee will give weight and seriousness to this study" and secure without a doubt the new head of Geipan. Placed a little under surveillance but also under protection. In practice, Mr. Sillard think 140 000 euros annual budget previously allocated "largely sufficient". The compilation of information and methodology of analysis will not be upset over what has been done since 1977. However, other services CNES well placed in this type of exercise will be asked to lend their assistance. Without talking about synergy, there will be cooperation, as between members of the committee. The classification of cases remain the same. The category "D" (comments after unidentified studies and analyses) between 1951 and early 2000 was 792 cases out of 5 895, or 13.5% in France. Mr. Sillard evokes turn 44% of cases and explained 40% of testimony unworkable. If the role of Geipan will track various misunderstandings, explain them seriously and pedagogy in broad daylight, it will de facto finger on these "irrréductibles" recognized. Trying to find an answer is a daring gamble likely to open perhaps other avenues of research. Yves Sillard admits, "it seems that in a few cases, it is indeed an object that was seen.
