Werner Herzog voice (over footage of a deer walking through snow):

For zis is true weh-zer ve are alone in ze univerze or weh-zer zere are aliens everyvere. All ov uz struggle uhnd search for meaning, uhnd ve ull die alone. Perhaps it iz easier for RHobert Lazar to belief ihnn aliens, but for me zhey do not mahke any differenz. Zhey uhnd I are both doomed to whunder uhnd to vander in zhe cosmos until zhe end.

The work of the SIGMA2 Commission has progressed on several axes such as the inventory and the case study, the follow-up of international activities, the work on physics, the inventory of advanced machine technologies... Many contacts have been made . Interesting documents have been identified, including work carried out abroad,but cases with indisputable physical data recorded are rare. The use of old cases, in particular EME from data of international but also French origin, allowed interesting comparisons.

However, as explained above, new technologies and means of observation are gradually being deployed and giving rise to hope for new data collection. If unexplained cases with physical data are already identified, no comprehensive explanation has yet been provided by SIGMA2, apart from the identification of certain physical theories, which have yet to be demonstrated.

Nevertheless, SIGMA2 tried to make a preliminary cross-checking between the electromagnetic observables of different phenomena. We compared the radiation emitted by plasmas (bluish radiation from atmospheric nitrogen plasmas) with recordings of electromagnetic signals at 3 GHz (US records). We were also able to observe electromagnetic disturbances on electronic equipment (on the ground or inflight) or even observed the effects induced by microwaves on the natural environment(soil, vegetation) or on humans. These overlaps raise many questions about their origin. Regarding the kinematic behavior of UAPs, brutal accelerations, passage from a stationary position to very high speeds, we conclude that they cannot be explained by plasmas of natural origin, whose speed and accelerations are a priori limited in particular to the speed of sound. The speed of hypersonic movement and its accelerations can be explained if they accompany either a hypersonic mobile, performing brutal accelerations (according to an unknown technology), or by the projection of energy at a distance (like plasma lasers), but whose technological advances do not allow, a priori, the formation of plasmas at distances of several tens or hundreds of km. These findings are only partial and preliminary but constitute a common thread that could intersect with other research, for example on materials and their interactions with high frequency EM radiation.

Far from demonstrating the inconsistency of the cases identified or giving peremptory explanations, this militates in favor of further studies, of intensifying the collection of in situ data, on condition of having an organization capable of storing and to analyze such computer data without which it is illusory to claim to carry out serious analyzes of cases.

The implementation of a documentary database and computer skills tool has been carried out: this is one of the key points for building the documentary base but also for the use of the technical data collected on the cases. Both documentary research and archiving will then have to be intensified.

SIGMA2 reached conclusions in the 2015 report similar to those in the US UAPTF report regarding the unusual kinematics of the objects observed, such as those of the Army of the People's Republic of China. This observation on kinematics has since been reinforced by other characteristics such as electromagnetic emissions at certain frequencies, of artificial origin, which we are discussing. They have been noted in the past by the Americans as well as by the Russians, in their respective reports. But we have not yet noted any recall of these effects, nor knowledge of any intention to share the data. But the shared observation remains a first step.

To conclude by returning to the questions at the beginning: where are we on knowledge?

We may be past the stage of prejudice or disbelief. Are we talking about Facts, Hypotheses, Laws or Theories?

Skepticism could give way to scientific curiosity in the face of the unknown supported from now on established Facts and inventoried Hypotheses.

Do known Laws explain everything? It seems that some cases are beyond known science and may prompt research into extensions of known laws or lead to other discoveries, confirming alternative theories, now qualified as speculative.

To the question do the UAP exist? We leave it to the reader to judge, but the answer is yes, in multiple and even changing forms during observations.

Progress will come from the collection and sharing of data as well as the interest of scientists in confronting the Laws and Theories under study.

Not at all, if they were sufficiently (non-homo sapiens) (no-homo sapiens) ancient or sufficiently subtle in their actions (if they were more recent). If we disappeared tomorrow in a nuclear war there’s just be some flakes of unusual isotopes in the crust and maybe some fossilized deep sea fishing poo poo for our descendants or successors to find in another million years or so.

I saw a clear glass bubble, it was big enough for one man to sit in. And that is actually what I saw, a man in a sitting position in this glass bubble. their appeared to be no seat that he was sitting on. He was just sitting their. He had his arms stretched out in front of him like he had a steering stick in between his knees. He wore a brown coloured long sleeved top. and he had dark coloured hair and fair skin. Thats how close he was.

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief when I saw this, I will never ever forget it. I am reporting this now because I have never heard of any reports about ufos that where glass bubbles. And I am interested to hear if their ever has been any such thing.
