THE EARL OF CLANCARTY
AN SYlER
MONDAY, 28TH NOVEI·ffiER 1977
'
To ask Her Majesty's Government
lrThether they are aware that in an
interview on France-Inter radio
on 21 February 1974 Nonsieur Robert
Galley, then French Ninister of
Defence, stated that his Ninistry
had set up a section in 1954 to
study eyewitn~ss accounts of
unidentified flying objects; and
vrhether our l•Iinistry of Defence
also has a section to investigate
these unidentified flying objects.
The Government has no record of a statement made in
February 1974 by the then French ~linister of Defence.
Our ltinistry of Defence has no specific organisation
engaged on the examination of reports of unidentified flying
objects; reports are examined by specialist staffs as part ·of
their normal duties to see if they contain any implications
for the defence of the United Kingdom. Investigations into
any scientific signifi-eance of phenomena T.vhich go beyond
defence interests are not carried out.by the Department.
