| French space agency to
publish UFO archive
[PRG believes this is a significant
exopolitical development. It's the "other shoe" to the
2000 COMETA report. It represents another "message" from a
foreign government to the United States that patience with the U.S. led
truth embargo is short.] PARIS (Reuters) - The French space agency is to publish its
archive of UFO sightings and other phenomena online, but will keep the
names of those who reported them off the site to protect them from
pestering by space fanatics. Jacques Arnould, an official at the National Space Studies Center
(CNES), said the French database of around 1,600 incidents would go live in
late January or mid-February. He said the CNES had been collecting statements and documents for
almost 30 years to archive and study them. "Often they are made to the Gendarmerie, which provides an official
witness statement ... and some come from airline pilots," he said by
telephone. Given the success of films about
visitations from outer space like "E.T.", "Close Encounters
of The Third Kind" and "Independence Day", the CNES archive
is likely to prove a hit. It
consists of around 6,000 reports, many relating to the same incident, filed
by the public and airline professionals. Their names would not be published
to protect their privacy, Arnould said. Advances in technology over the past
three decades had prompted the decision to put the archive online, he said,
adding it would likely be available via the CNES website www.cnes.fr. Article at >>> Fastwalkers Documentary to Open in

Passes Sadly PRG has lost another
supporter from the 2002 independent congressional campaign in Maryland with
the death of Jim Peters on December 14. As reported by his
friend David Lindahl, "Last April he was riding his bike from Boise,
where he had been meeting with the Governor and top legislative leaders on
legislation to introduce advanced technologies into the marketplace to
reduce fuel consumption and pollution. It was dark and he was on his
way to a farm where he was staying about 10 miles from Boise when a guy
about 25 and intoxicated swerved to the side and hit him at 55-60
mph. He made an amazing recovery but apparently a clot from one
of the surgeries caused a stroke and took him out. I never met anyone with
Jim's persistence and dedication, truly an amazing
guy." That persistence enabled Jim to gather
one of the largest tallies of the 5000 signatures required to get on
the ballot in the 2002 election. He was always positive, upbeat and
filled with ideas for how to make things happen. The other
loss from the 2002 crew is Wesleyan graduate, Peter
Morgenstern-Clarren. Both made some history that fall and will be
missed. | | American Chronicle |
