London, England: Air Minister tells Commons UFO reports are nothing but mundane

On November 5, 1958, MP Roy Mason asked the Air Minister in the UK House of Commons to what extent official records were kept of UFO sightings and which departments were involved. Air Minister George Ward replied in writing that reports involving national security were investigated but that “nothing suggests that they are other than mundane.” Flying Saucer Review criticized the answer in its January/February 1959 issue under the headline “Come Off It, Mr. Ward!” The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
