-t say, phe~omena to which a certain a:nou.~t of attention t~r.1st be given, but
. .~ aa_Y that in the Air Force, for tile moment, they have never seemed to
come directly under air defence.
' .
I- if you were asked, for example, to nake a few of your radars. available to
a few scientists, or at least the observatio~s made by the radar operators,
what would be your reply?
MG- Oh, I would reply that we have no reason not to inform air defence, if
there were. anomalies on the r~dars, of the elements which ~fair defence does
not manage to explain everything, I think that air defence would be bound to
rep~rt these unusual or unorthodox observations to a scientific authority
Which would be entrusted with them. That is what we do at the moment since I
have there all the reports of observations which could be, which come from the
Air Force, the gendarmerie, from all the.military authorities and we pass them
on very dirGctly.
I- Weli, you have mentioned the Gendarmerie. France Inter listeners have
already heard many reports from gendarmes, offering the good faith of witnesses
when these witnesses state, not that they have seen unidentified luminous
phenomena in the sky which can always act~ly be interpreted as something
unsubstantial, but unknown by our natural science, but much more exact
phenomena, since there are landings with traces left in the ground. And th~
gendarmes conclude them in favour of the good faith of the witnesses who state
they have seen, not only UFO landil;l.gs sometimes, but little creatures.
MG- Ah, well, on this matter, I shall be a great deal more cautious. But I
must say that if your listeners could see the collection of reports from the
genda1'111erie - Air Gendarmerie, mobile gendarmerie, gen~armerie responsible for
~·
territorial inquiries - which have been passed on to the National Centre for
