I am pleased to confirm all the information given by Thierry
Wathelet.

The report was on the French newstands this morning, and I think
we can say that it is a very positive event for ufology, in
France and internationaly.

The title is in fact:

'Les OVNI et la Défense. A quoi doit-on se préparer?'

The literal translation is:

"UFOs and Defence. What must we get prepared for?"

The name of the group which wrote this report is "COMETA", so it
should be referred to as the 'COMETA Report', to be accurate.

Members of COMETA include Air Force generals Denis Letty and
Bruno Le Moine, Admiral Marc Merlo, Professor André Lebeau,
former President of CNES, and the report is prefaced by General
Bernard Norlain, former Director of IHEDN (Institute of Higher
Defence Studies). An impressive team for an "independant"
report.

This report confirms as "quasi certain" the reality of UFOs, and
considers as very probable the UFO crash near Roswell!

There are a nice couple of pages on the mechanism of
disinformation, at the end of this very serious and well
documented report.

Let's see now if it has any impact in the media.

I want to thank publicly here the action of journalist Bernard
Thouanel who has been at the core of this excellent operation.
