Moscow, Soviet Union: City party committee bans activities of civilian UFO group BVPTS

In December 1979, the Moscow City Committee of the Soviet Communist Party forbade all activities of the BVPTS, a civilian UFO group. Despite the ban, the group persisted into the 1980s. The entry gives no further details on the grounds for the prohibition or on how it was enforced. 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.
