Hi all,
GEIPAN:
The "Groupe D'Etudes Et D'Informations Sur Les Phenomenes Aerospatiaux Non Identifies" (GEIPAN) held an important workshop, on 8th and 9th July 2014, in Paris, France.
GEIPAN was created by the "Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales" (CNES) to study reports of "Phenomenes Aerospatiaux Non identifies" (PAN) (Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena.) The CNES is the National Centre for Space Research for France, and is responsible for proposing space policy and implementation to the French government.
The workshop:
The workshop, of scientists and invited UAP researchers, was looking at methods and tools, which could improve the collection and analysis of information on "Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena."
A number of very interesting talks were presented, including:
* "Useful research methods for aircrew and air traffic controller UAP sightings." Richard Haines.
* "Keeping Omni-comprehensive UFO databases: a cost benefit analysis." Edoardo Russo.
* "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: a strategy for research." Jacques Vallee.
* "The Hessdalen Phenomena: 30 years of research, instrumentation, results, witness stories, challenges and difficulties." Erling Strand.
* "Instrumented monitoring of aerial anomalies." Massimo Teodorani.
Attendees included Jeremiah Vaabaillon, Paris Observatory; Jacques Py, Psychology professor; Thomas Rabeyron, psychology lecturer; and representatives of the gendarmerie and the French Air Force. In addition there were a number of civilian UAP researchers, including Richard Haines; Jacques Vallee; Bertrand Meheust and Ron Westrum. Australian researcher Bill Chalker was invited, but was unable to attend.
Workshops of this calibre are extremely rare, and GEIPAN is to be congratulated for arranging it. I look forward to reading any proceedings of this workshop, if they become available.
One cannot imagine such a workshop being organised here in Australia.

It would indeed be interesting to read these papers, but unfortunately for me that would need an English translation.
ReplyDeleteOn a related thought I don't think many of the French UAP type D cases are documented in English (Trans en Provence is major exception)? Does anyone know of an English source for the primary data in these cases ( or other cases from non English speaking regions)?
Hi Anthony
ReplyDeleteI agree that it would be great to read type D cases in English.
