Key quotes
“The UAP phenomenon is real, instrumentally documented, and involves energies far beyond any current aerospace capability. France is among the few nations to have studied it rigorously, and the findings were never made fully public.” — CNRS research interview, republished in Lumières dans la Nuit, 2005
