" Recognizing that a high level group of former senior French military and scientific officials from the Institute for Advanced Studies for National Defence issued the COMETA Report in 1999 where the report concluded that about 5% of the UFO cases they studied were unexplainable and the best explanation for them was the extraterrestrial hypothesis;
" Noting that in 1969 the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration passed a Federal Regulation suspending legal rights and quarantining individuals coming into contact with extraterrestrial artifacts or life;
" Recalling that UNGA Decision 33/426 was titled "Establishment of an agency or a department of the United Nations for undertaking, co-ordinating and disseminating the results of research into unidentified flying objects and related phenomena;"
propose the creation of a European Agency or Department to investigate evidence of UFOs, extraterrestrial life and related phenomenon.
