France Opens Secret UFO Files Covering 50 Years

On Thursday, March 22, France became the "first Country to open its files on UFOs" allowing anyone to view its 1600 documented sightings spanning five decades. "The online archives, which will be updated as new cases are reported, catalogs in minute detail cases ranging from the easily dismissed to a handful that continue to perplex even hard-nosed scientists."

The strange and the unknown have always been an interest to individuals, which has led to various TV shows and pop cultural shows that are beloved by many today.
