Organizers and speakers from the European Exopolitics Summit have released a Declaration for the creation of a European Agency to study UFOs and extraterrestrial affairs. The Declaration was first presented to the public at a Press Conference preceding the Exopolitics Summit which featured international speakers discussing the public policy implications of evidence concerning extraterrestrial life. The Declaration is based on a 1978 United Nations General Assembly Decision 33/426 calling for the “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.” The goal in releasing the Declaration is to spur European governments and citizen organizations to cooperate in collection and analysis of UFO data. An online petition has been started to collect signatures for the Declaration and promote its adoption by relevant governments and organizations.
The Declaration begins by acknowledging a number of precedents concerning official government actions concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life. UN Decision 33/426 is cited with its ground breaking appeal for “Member States to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects.” A number of European nations are then mentioned that have released classified files concerning UFOs. Beginning with Spain in 1992, France (2007), Ireland (2007), Britain (2008), and Denmark (2009) a number of European nations have made available their UFO files.
The Declaration goes on to cite the 1999 French COMETA Report which declared the extraterrestrial hypothesis to be the most plausible explanation for UFO sightings. NASA’s extraterrestrial exposure law is then cited as an important precedent into how government efforts to regulate citizen contact with extraterrestrial life needs to be properly balanced by citizen rights.
Among the 14 recommendations in the Declaration is a call to “collect and study into one database UFO files from different national space agencies, defense departments, and other official European entities and civilian organizations collecting UFO data.” The Declaration also recommends that proposed Agency “disseminate its findings in a way that educates the general public of evidence concerning extraterrestrial life and technology.” Such evidence is extensive and spans at least ten categories of sources requiring detailed study. The Declaration also calls for understanding “the feasibility of advanced technologies demonstrated by UFOs in resolving global environment, climate, energy, poverty, development, and health problems.” Finally, the Declaration calls for the development of “protocols for peaceful and diplomatic relations with extraterrestrial life in the event of contact.”
The English version of the Declaration is now available online. Spanish and other translated versions will shortly be available. The petition to sign the Declaration is also now available online. Supporters of the Declaration especially encourage citizens of European countries to sign the petition and disseminate the Declaration to European Governments and citizen organizations. It is inevitable that governments of the world will one day openly coordinate when it comes to policies concerning extraterrestrial life and technology. The “Declaration for the Creation of a European Agency to Study UFOs and Extraterrestrial Affairs” helps bring that day closer by alerting European citizens to the need to take action now. As Margaret Mead insightfully observed, “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has!"
