PARIS - On an August day in 1967, two children tending a herd of cows outside a village in central France reported seeing "four small black beings" fly from the ground and slip headfirst into a sphere that shot skyward in a flash of light and trail of sulfuric odors.

The alleged extraterrestrial sighting, described by the French government as "one of the most astonishing observed in France," is among 1,600 UFO case files spanning the last half-century that the country's space agency opened to the public for the first time Thursday.

• Full international coverage
The voluntary decision by France's National Center for Space Studies to dump more than 100,000 pages of witness testimony, photographs, film footage and audiotapes from its secret UFO archives onto its Internet site, for worldwide viewing is an unprecedented move among Western countries. Most of them, the United States included, consider such records classified matters of national security.

"We come in Peace"

I've been trying to access the site for an hour now, but it seems to be hammered from all of the news coverage it's been getting the last 24hours.

You can try to find ET for yourself here (if you're able to get in):

Nice, it takes a while to load/access and more than a while for the other options to load but it is worth the wait. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting...more countries should start doing this...but then the people will know things...and our gov't sure can't have that...i bet it never happens in the US..or if it does, the documents will be fake.

Or, as was the case a few years ago, all the documents will be heavily marked with BIG BLACK markers, so you can't see what they actually say. In that case, they've just wasted my time, and that doesn't sit well with me.
