Dear Sir,
19 Ly rtl c :to3.d,
Lancinr;,
Sus::; ex.
24th N?vanj~r 19?7~
Recent itams in the press have indicated thnt the United Nations
~~ to start ~n official Frobe into Flying Saucers.Althou ~ h many people ~a~
consider such a project so ~ ething of a waste of time I am personally ~lad
that some steps are being taken to investigat~ this phenomena on a serious .
and official basis.
The main reason for my writing to you is that in my opinion not
only should EOvernment bodies be involved ina project of this nature,but so
should a team of ufologist~ who would obviously be used to the various
problems involved. ·
Although I r~alise that no decisi6ns may have been made regarding
the ·form this project is ~o take 1 feel it essential that ufolo8'ists are
involved in this venture.l should liki your op1n1on on this matter and what
you think the chances are of norr government bodies and individuals being
involved.
