CNES is well known to space enthusiasts for their expertise on satellite deployment; however, this news is sure to excite the international culture of ufologists and skeptics, including Mulder and Scully.
This archive, planned to be released in early 2007, consists of over 1,600 events. Many, of which, are from multiple sources that make over 5,000 documents. These writings will report detailed accounts of the composer's sightings and experiences; all while keeping the reported sources confidential.
Jacques Arnould, an official at CNES, said they had been collecting statements and documents for almost 30 years to archive and study them, and noted that all official witness statements were filed by the public and airline pilots.
Advances in technology, over the past thirty years, are said to have inspired their decision to put the archive online, said Arnould; adding it would likely be available via the CNES website, www.cnes.fr.
