London, England: Air Minister tells Commons RAF has standing orders for UFO reports
On 21 January 1959, MP Roy Mason asked in the House of Commons what instructions RAF stations had for collecting UFO reports and whether there was collaboration with Canada and the US; Air Minister George Ward said RAF units had standing instructions and there was no special collaboration.
Background
MP Roy Mason put another question to the Air Minister in the UK House of Commons: what instructions had been sent to RAF stations about collecting military UFO reports, and what collaboration existed with Canada and the United States. Air Minister George Ward replied that RAF units had standing instructions for handling such reports. He added that there was no special collaboration with those countries. The exchange is recorded in Flying Saucer Review, by Timothy Good and in Isaac Koi's compilation of UFOs in Parliament. 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.
