.... .h "know events" in the r~alm of aero-space Ctails take on considerable significance. Analysis of observations or physics the smallest Correlations made at different levels enable.it to be said that in about 8~ of cases, "Strange" observations are ~thout any possible doubt, due to known . aero-space phenonena. They show from the evidence that the observer bas indeed .. se~n, and observed accurately a phenooenon that was strange to him, but which exists in reality sine~, on the basis of trds description his statement can be correlated with aero-spatial or physical 11events11 which have indeed occurred at the site of the observation and at the stated time: it is therefore improbable that the- remaining unexplained cases &.ilould be pure invention. Analysis of observations For the sa~e ~f ~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 th~ period 1951-1975 is about 150 cases, which represent 8% 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 1~ RAINY OR GREATER THAN 3Kl1 3&% 20 MIN - 59 MIN 1.5% SNO'w'Y ~ 1 - 19 I-liN 41% IJJ'II CLOUD 12% 1- 3 KM 1~ 10 SEC - 1 MIN 1~ SKY COVERED WITH 900 - 15<An 2.5"" HIGH CLOUD 1J/6 20m - 1Q:n :% LESS THAN 10 SEC 1~ THICK CLOUD 22S& ..
