French COMETA Report Concludes UFOs Are 'Almost Certainly' Physical Objects

A group of retired French defence officials and scientists, chaired by retired Air Force General Denis Letty, published a 90-page report titled 'UFOs and Defence: What Should We Prepare For?' The COMETA report reviewed sixty years of cases and concluded that the extraterrestrial hypothesis was 'the most probable' explanation for a subset of well-documented sightings. The report was presented to the French President and Prime Minister. While unofficial, its authors held senior positions in the French military, intelligence, and aerospace establishments, giving it unusual institutional weight. It influenced later government transparency initiatives in France and other countries.
