France was the birthplace of sceptical "psycho-social ufology"
with people like Monnerie and Pinvidic. It was where British
sceptics cut their teeth at the famous Anglo-French channel port
conferences in the early 1980's. (All those post-modern literary
critics, dont'y ya know)

Russian ufology? Know nowt about it. Scandinavian and Italian
ufology has plenty of sceptics, although with one or two
exceptions the Germans seem a credulous crowd.
