Hulleye Comes By!

not sure how many of you caught this but the french govt. has recently decided to publish it’s entire archive of ufo sightings, news, video, imagery etc. online. this is just a link to their press release. better luck trying to get to the archive which is linked on that page. it’s VERY slow since the entire world is trying to download it at the same time.

Since the dawn of time, people have observed all kinds of phenomena in the skies—often with interest, sometimes with fear. Over the centuries, these phenomena have given rise to varied interpretations, usually based on belief in superior beings or divine powers.

In Greek mythology, for instance, natural phenomena like wind, storms and lightning were sent by the gods to show their approval or anger at the schemes and intrigues of mortals.

More recently, research and discoveries have helped further our understanding of our environment and demystify many of these phenomena. However, the advent of new technologies, exploration systems and spaceflight in the 20th century has led to renewed interest in the “unknown”.

In response, Geipan, the French UAP research and information group, investigates unidentified aerospace phenomena and makes its findings available to the public.

One of the most bizarre weather patterns in the solar system has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole.

Rather than the normally sinuous cloud structures seen on all planets that have atmospheres, this thing is a hexagon.

The honeycomb feature has been seen before. NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged it more than two decades ago. Now, having spotted it with the Cassini spacecraft, scientists conclude it is a long-lasting oddity.
