CIA admits to being responsible for at least half of UFO sightings in the 50s and 60s

203. More on the Cometa Report here

"Unless these people have insider information, which would have
yet to be revealed, their leaning toward the more paranoïd
trends of ufology is more than alarming. They consider for
instance Corso’s assertions to be possibly reliable much as they
do with Nick Pope’s views. Roswell is taken for granted and
North America is portrayed as the ‘Big Black Wolf’ who’s
debunking scheme, especially (but not only) over Roswell would
seem logical if we are to believe they have aquired otherworldly
objects. In one of the unsigned annexes, titled ‘The Roswell
Affair - Disinformation’, one can read the following statement:

"It seems the crash at Roswell happened on the 4th of July,
‘Independance Day’, at around 11h30 pm. The date and place
symbolise the power of America, henceforth the question: if the
crash is that of an extraterrestrial craft, could it really be
considered an accident or could it possibly be deliberate, thus
being some sort of a message and/or authenticating it?".

Considering the final destination of the report, which is said
on the front cover, to have been President Jacques Chirac and
Prime minister Lionel Jospin, and the rank of the people
involved, one can only be very alarmed by such statements which
will no doubt go against the goals COMETA wished to serve. One
understands, why other suggestions like the creation of a
gouvernmental office (yet another...) which would go hand in
hand with SEPRA, or re-funding of the latter will probably go
unaddressed."
