National Aeronautics and Space Administration · 94 pages · text from the file's own layer

This file, held under a National Aeronautics and Space Administration title, contains an English translation of the 1999 COMETA report "UFOs and Defense: What Should We Prepare For?", produced by a French association of former IHEDN auditors and first published in a special issue of VSD. It opens with a 2001 letter from Carol Rosin arranging a meeting. The report covers pilot testimonies, close encounters in France, GEPAN/SEPRA research and defense implications. Attached material includes a Leslie Kean article, a NARCAP description and a news item about a UFO at Barnaul airport.

This file contains an independent report on UFOs written by the French association COMETA (previously published in the French magazine VDS in 1999), which details the results of a study by the Institute of Higher Studies for National Defence. The file also includes a letter from Carol Rosin in which she notes that she was spokesperson for von Braun during the last years of his life.

Iwhich we know can cause effects of this type and which can be easily formed into beams
to act from a distance. Under these conditions, microwave emissions from unknown Iobjects would be likely to create around the vehicle an electrical field strong enough to
cause, when added to the ignition volt.~ •.?s, ionization and electrical breakdown of the air around
the high voltage circuit of the engi1 l(ignition] coil, distributor, spark plug wire), thus Ishort-circuiting the firing pulses to the engine mass and shutting it off.
Since electronic ignition came into widespread use in the 70s, the action of microwaves,
apart from the mechanism previously described, may be exerted directly, paralyzing the Ielectronic circuit generating the high voltage. We can therefore envision the action of
unknown objects on land vehicles, including nowadays those with diesel engines, which
are made vulnerable due to their more and more common electronic regulation circuit. Let Ius recall that the ability to generate high power microwave beams is within the capabilities
ofour own technologies, as demonstrated by the intensive work being carried out in the
United States and the former USSR to develop microwave weapons intended precisely to Idestroy or immobilize enemy electronic systems from a distance, and even to act on
perso;1nel. In France, high power microwave generators that can be used for this purpose
are being studied. IThis does not rule out the possibility ofother types of radiation being used. Charged
particle beams would be capable of analogous effects, passing through, if necessary, living
matter, such as the bodies of some witnesses, without being felt by the latter or leaving Iany notable or lasting sequels..
This can be illustrated by the beams of accelerators used in proton therapy, which begin by
passing through tissue without causing too much damage and becoming destructive only Iwhen their energy falls below a certain threshold as a result of their penetration.
This mode of action corresponds, moreover, to certain testimonies that report the
observation of beams oflight passing through physical obstacles; in fact, by ionizing the Iair, proton beams generally do become visible in the form of truncated beams of light the
length ofwhich is a function of their initial energy.
I8.1.3 Locomotive Paralysis of Some Witnesses
This phenomenon is less common. It is remarkable in that the paralysis reported only Iaffect certain voluntary movements, but not respiration or posture (balance, in particular,
is not compromised; the witnesses do not fall down) or eye movements. From the
standpoint of concepts, it can be remarked that in human beings posture and respiration Iare controlled by the cerebellum, an organ that is independent of the cerebrum, which
governs voluntary movements. The paralysis effects observed can reasonably be
attributed to microwaves acting from a distance on certain parts of the human body (this is Ialso one of the objectives of the work mentioned above on nucrowave weapons). We
should note that these effects, among others, are being studied at the Air Force Weapons
Laboratory at Kirtland AFB. I
8.2 Modeling and Credibility IThe fact that we can formulate a credible hypothesis on the propulsion of the objects
sighted is obviously only a positive indication, but not proof of their existence, no more
than that of their conformity to the model that we imagine. IIn this regard, the history of the technique teaches hunulity, but it can also yield quasi
