Besides Canada, the others are government sites in their native languages but the sites are available on the net.

Izonu: Some people still believe the government in these matters. When the government has said for 50 years they are not real, people believed the government. Hopefully, they will at least consider the volume of data and that it is governments who are providing it. That is why I am listing these sites.

Answer by scottsdalehigh64
If all of the evidence is a sighting, there will never be enough physical evidence for a flying saucer. Vast numbers of people have had such sitings, and there is still no physical evidence that is acceptable to a scientist. To accept flying saucers, one must be closely examined by many scientists. Why? There is no physical evidence for life on any other planet than the earth, and the claims of flying saucers are more easily attributable to mistakes, hoaxes, hallucinations and wishful thinking.
