Flying Saucer Working Party - British MoD program to study UFOs
British Ministry of Defence / Nick Pope website
The Flying Saucer Working Party was set up in October 1950 by Ministry of Defence Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Henry Tizard, who felt that UFO reports should not be dismissed out of hand without some serious study. He duly authorised the setting up of a small study team to look into the phenomenon. This is the group's final report, which was released to Georgina Bruni and a handful of other researchers in 2001 by the MOD, following requests made under the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.

Nick Pope
I’ve worked for the Ministry of Defence for nearly fifteen years now, and have had a variety of fascinating posts. But by far and away the most amazing was my tour of duty in a division called Secretariat(Air Staff)2a, where for three years my responsibilities included researching and investigating the UFO phenomenon.

Official British Government UFO History - Part 2
Nick Pope & Georgina Bruni
Our world exclusive article in last month’s issue of UFO Magazine provoked exactly the sort of debate that we expected, with all sorts of comments and questions being raised. We thought it would be helpful to pick up on a number of these points, make some other more general observations and update readers on what is an ongoing area of research.

A certain number of observations of UFO which were the subject of thorough investigations remain unexplained. By sharing his opinions on this complex matter, Jean-Jacques Velasco, director of the SEPRA, raises this question: Why are sciences known as "exact" not interested in studying UFOs, and why were the studies started in the years 70-80 stopped?
