France Opens GEIPAN UFO Archive to the Public

France's national space agency CNES made the GEIPAN archive publicly accessible online, releasing over 1,600 UFO case files spanning five decades. The database included witness testimonies, photographs, radar data, and investigation reports. The release made France the first country in the world to make a comprehensive government UFO archive freely available to the public. The website received so many visitors on launch day that the servers crashed. GEIPAN continues to investigate new reports and classifies cases by their degree of unexplainedness.
