You will recall from the p,ress reports that a debate on unidentified flying objects has been held there recently at the request of the Prime Minister of Grenada. However, we have tracked down a Mr- in -the Energy, Science and Space Department of FCO who tells us (and, I hope, will confirm in writing) that aUN resolution calling-for an investigation into UFOs has been shelved indefinitely. The UK did not support the resoltttion, the view being that such an investigation would bring the UN into disrepute. Matters now rest, I believe, on the understanding that countries interested in a UFO investigation should pool their resources. 2.
