Sentinel News: France's National Assembly to Host UAP Conference

2 min read

Summary

France’s National Assembly will host its first-ever parliamentary symposium on unidentified aerospace phenomena on June 29, 2026, organized by MP arnaud-saint-martin (La France Insoumise) with co-organizer MP pierre-henriet (Horizons), vice president of the Parliamentary Office for the Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Choices. The event will be held in the largest hall of the Assembly (250-seat capacity) with backing from cnes and geipan. The symposium frames UAP “research beyond fantasy” and is positioned as a landmark institutional milestone for European UAP science alongside the european-uap-day track. The report restates GEIPAN’s official scope (collection, analysis, investigation, publication, archiving of UAP reports), pushing back against ET / paranormal-research framing.
