•In only 8% of cases, observers are describing a phenomenon that bas really
.en observed and is unlmown;
The variety of characteristics of the phenomenon is such that it is n~t possible
at present to formulate a definite scientific theory conce~ning its nature
or origin (physical or otherwise\' it also enables us to state that this phenomenon
is not th~ result of human technology.
Its tangible effects on human beings are without danger.
. ..:,:
Given the present state of our knowledge, it seems difficult to conclude
otherwise than by confirming that science is incapable in this area. This
phenomenon cannot, at present, be analysed by means of known measuring instruments
and, in a word, it is only thanks to the accumulation of observationSdescribing
not only this phenomenon but also all the physical data regarding the environment
that researchers may one da~ have the good fortune to discover the parameters
that will enable them to give it a moh:l satisfactory interpretation. Whilst
maintaining an open mind, we must restrain ourselves from hasty conclusions
regarding the nature and origin of the phenomenon and accept the fact that this
problem. like so many others, remains suspended in space.
