Analysis of observations Correlations made at different levels enable it to be said that in about 8~ of cases, "Strange" observations are ~ithout any possible doubt, due to known .aero-space phenonena. They show from the evidence that the observer has indeed se~n, and observed accurately a phenomenon that was strange to him, but which exists in reality since, on the basis of trds description his statement can be correlated with aero-spatial or physical "events" which have indeed occurred at the site of the observation and at the stated time: it is therefore improbable that the remaining unexplained cases &.aould be pure invention. Analysis of observations For the sa~e of ~bjectivity, in France only unexplained operations of the same phenomenon by at least two adults have been retained for scientific analysis. The volume of observations thus retained for the period 1951-1975 is about 150 cases, which represent 8)b of the initial volume of observations. The following information may be drawn from these: DURATION OF OBSERVATION WEATHER CONDITIONS I DISTANCE 1 HOUR - 1 DAY 12!16 RAINY OR GREATER THAN 3K}t 3&% 20 MIN - 59 MIN 15% SNOV.'Y Yl> 1 - 19 MIN 41% LOW CLOUD 12% 1- 3 KM 1~ 10 SEC - 1 MIN 1~ SKY COVERED WITH 900- 150ai 2~" HIGH CLOUD 1:;'..6 20m - 1Un J}G LESS THP.N 10 SEC 12% THICK CLOUD 22% LESS THAN 10m "'lf, CLEAR SKY 50J' ~· ·CONDITIONS IN vlHICH OBSERVA'riONS 'v.'Er.Z WJ>E Distribution of twenty· cases of "landings" reported, bearing in mind that no photo- graph of these particUlar cases exists:
