UFO sightings are a worldwide phenomenon. Sightings of UFO's occur in many countries, towns, cities, on farms,.... even in space.

They have been dismissed as weather balloons, aircraft and satellites, but a group of aviation experts is now demanding the US government start taking UFOs seriously.

"We believe that for reasons of both national security and flight safety, every country should make an effort to identify any object in its airspace," said a statement from the 19 former pilots and government officials from around the world.

The subject of UFOs came up in a recent debate among US presidential candidates, with Democrat Dennis Kucinich saying he once saw a UFO - making him the object of ridicule and jokes by late night television comedians.

Skeptics say UFO sightings are merely aircraft, satellites or meteors re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.

But the pilots spoke to a sympathetic audience of UFO "believers", describing their encounters with unexplained objects in the sky.

Paris -France became the first country to open its files on UFOs on Thursday when the national space agency unveiled a website documenting more than 1 600 sightings spanning five decades.

The online archives, which will be updated as new cases are reported, catalogues in minute detail cases ranging from the easily dismissed to a handful that continue to perplex even hard-nosed scientists.

"It is a world first," said Jacques Patenet, the aeronautical engineer who heads the office for the study of "non-identified aerospatial phenomena".

Known as OVNIs in French, UFOs have always generated intense interest along with countless conspiracy theories about secretive government cover-ups of findings deemed too sensitive or alarming for public consumption.

"Cases such as the lady who reported seeing an object that looked like a flying roll of toilet paper" are clearly not worth investigating, said Patenet.

But many others involving multiple sightings in at least one case involving thousands of people across France - and physical evidence such as burn marks and radar trackings are taken very seriously.

A phalanx of beefy security guards formed a barrier in front of the space agency (CNES) headquarters where the announcement was made, "to screen out uninvited UFOlogists", an official explained.

Of the 1 600 cases registered since 1954, nearly 25% are classified as "type D", meaning that "despite good or very good data and credible witnesses, we are confronted with something we can't explain", Patenent said.

Secret files on UFO sightings have been made available for the first time by the Ministry of Defence.

The first eight of 160 MoD UFO files have been opened at the National Archives, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act.

The documents, which can be downloaded from the National Archives website, cover the period from 1978 to 1987.

They include accounts of strange lights in the sky and unexplained objects being spotted by the public, armed forces and police officers.

Secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files detailing sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) in Wales have been made public for the first time.

They are among hundreds of sightings of UFOs across the UK released in eight MoD files to the National Archive.

Detailed accounts of sightings over Anglesey, Aberystwyth, Cardiff and Swansea are included in the files.

They cover the period from 1978 to 1987 and have been released as a result of Freedom of Information requests.

The information can be downloaded from the website of the National Archives for free for the first month. There will be almost 200 files released in total over the next four years.

The center of abnormal triangle is situated in the middle of Ural taiga in the place called Molebka, 125 miles away from Perm.
