The COMETA Report is a unique document prepared by a group of current and former French military officers, government officials and defense specialists to address the issue of unidentified aerial phenomena including UFO.

While NARCAP refers the reader to the authors with respect to the overall motives and conclusions of the report, this document is particularly relevent to the NARCAP mission with respect to the emphasis on aviation reports involving aviation related encounters with unidentified phenomena. The reader is encouraged to pay particular attention to the aviation related data and statistics, much of it compiled through the efforts of NARCAP Advisor Dominique Weinstein and CNES-SEPRA Director JJ Valesco.
