.h "know events" in the realm of aero-space or physics the smallest
~tails take on considerable significance.
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:
