CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) is the French national space agency and the institutional host of the world's first openly government-run UAP study units, successively GEPAN, SEPRA, and today GEIPAN. Its hosting gives UAP study unusual official legitimacy in France. It matters as the rare case of a national space agency formally curating UAP investigations.
