COMETA report, 'UFOs and Defense: What Should We Prepare For?'
Unofficial report by a French association of retired generals, engineers and scientists on UAP and national defence.

The account
The group, including former senior figures in the French military and aerospace sector, concluded that the extraterrestrial hypothesis was the most likely explanation for some cases and urged international study. Its archive was later made public by GEIPAN.
The sceptical view
Although written by eminent people, it was not an official government report, and critics say it leaned too heavily on a small number of cases.
