"Stripping the UFO phenomenon of its irrational layer"

## Foreword by Professor André Lebeau, Former chairman of the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales
(CNES) [French National Center for Space Studies]

It is not looked on highly in certain scientific circles to be preoccupied with phenomena that are deemed to come under the heading of popular mythology or that are, at any rate, outside the realm of science.
