percent) are sightings by civilian pilots; and 196 cases (11.8 percent) are by private pilots. In 200 cases (12.1 percent) the visual observation was confirmed by on-board or ground radar. And in 57 cases (3.45 percent), the pilots noted electromagnetic effects and disturbances on one or more of the plane's transmission systems. 1 1 1 oan eo In combination with radar, we can draw a clear picture of the physicality of the UFO maneuvers in the airspace. The analysis of certain characteristics and maneuvers of these objects indicates behaviors that 1 ae 1 1 vat 164 . 1 have nothing to do with any natural phenomena or with operations carried out by aircrafts or aeronautical and space machines. One crucial point I have noted, which is shown in Weinstein's study, is that a UFO's behavior tends to depend on whether the encounter 1 tae, o ar wate "4 involves a military aircraft or a civilian passenger plane. Neutrality usually seems the general rule with commercial airlines or private planes, whereas an active interaction often occurs between UFOs and military aircraft. wore, a. “4 1 ” a ermnA a a4 Military pilots usually describe the movements of UFOs as they would air maneuvers of conventional aircraft, using terms such as follows, flees, acute turns, in formation, close collision, and aerial combat. Twenty-two military cases in the Weinstein catalogue involve near misses, and six include reported "dogfights," or combat maneuvers, between the UFOs and the military aircraft. I conclude that these incidents clearly demonstrate that in no way are these examples of natural events, but rather that UFOs are phenomena with a deliberate behavior. The physical nature of UFOs has been proved. Some of them also exhibit intelligent control when o interacting with military aircraft. I would like to propose an intriguing hypothesis that is important to me personally. On my part, it has required some research that extends outside of France and into the United States. I believe that there is a connection between strategic nuclear power, the atomic bomb, and the presence of unidentified artificial objects in the sky. This is suggested by data collected over several decades. It could be part of the answer to the oo4 yn 1 4 a question of why UFOs have been present in our environment. I find it very interesting that this association between the sensitive strategic sites and the overflights of "flying discs" was proposed within the American Air Force during the Cold War. Air Force intelligence noted that many sightings occurred over "sensitive installations." According to one document, a meeting was held on February 16,1949, in Los Alamos, New Mexico, that included Edward Teller, "the father of the H bomb." Commander Richard Mandelkorn of the U.S. Navy wrote in his report on the meeting that "there is cause for concern [7] of the continued occurrences of unexplainable phenomena of this nature in the vicinity of sensitive installations." And an Army intelligence memo wTitten a month earlier outlining different theories for these "extraordinary phenomena" stated almost the same thing: "It is felt that these incidents [8] are of such great importance, especially as they are occurring in the vicinity of sensitive installations."
