Our Origin
From crash

open for business.
It started with a malfunction. In the summer of 1947, a Class-IV reconnaissance saucer suffered a catastrophic navigation array failure and made an unscheduled stop in the New Mexico desert. While the crew was promptly collected by government vehicles (we prefer not to dwell on that episode), the ship's chief engineer — who had managed to slip away undetected — found himself stranded on Earth with little more than a multi-tool and an encyclopaedic knowledge of propulsion systems.
He spent the next decade quietly fixing things: first farm equipment, then automobiles, then — as word spread among interstellar travellers — spacecraft. In 1961 he established the first permanent workshop in Gourvillette, drawn by the quiet of the Charente countryside, the proximity of the river, and the excellent local cheese.
Today, UFO Repair Center is run by the second generation of the founding family, with a team of 12 specialists, a 600 m² workshop, and a parts warehouse stocked with over 8,000 components sourced from 14 different planetary systems.
