The agency, known by its French initials CNES, said it went public with the documents to draw the scientific community's attention to unexplained cases — and because their secrecy generated buzz, with many people suspicious that officials were hiding something.

Jacques Patenet, the director of the agency's UFO cell, said everything in the archive would be published online, with the exception of psychological reports about witnesses as well as their names.

"The public sector needs an official group that can take these phenomena into account and, in most cases, respond to public observations," Patenet said. "The great danger would be to leave the field open to sects and charlatans."

The archive contains about 100,000 documents from those cases — including expert reports, drawings by witnesses and some audio and video files.

1. I saw those archives.

One night, about 11 years ago. They looked like huge, glowing disks.
