Dear Mr Gaffney,
Thank you for contacting the Transparency Unit of the European Parliament.
Please be informed that the documents you requested were sent to you, as
follows.
In response to request 2023-3201, Parliament sent you the [1]written
declaration is available pursuant to Rule 123 of the Rules of Procedure on
the declassification of documentation on UFOs. Moreover, on Parliament's
[2]public register, you may also consult in several EU languages different
documents containing the keyword "UFOs".
Further to request 2023- 3165, Parliament answered by pointing you to
Parliament documents containing the terms mentioned in your application,
which you can search on Parliament’s [3]Public Register of Documents by
using relevant keywords. For instance, by inserting the keyword ‘UFOs’, a
list of 41 documents appears sorted by relevance, with [4]this document
being the first on the list. Similarly, if you search with the keyword
‘UAP’, a list of 20 documents will appear, with [5]this document first.
You can also search for plenary minutes on Parliament’s [6]Plenary site,
by choosing a specific parliamentary term and by using relevant keywords
in the Word(s) tab. Moreover, Parliament pointed to further information on
the UFO project, which is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020
research and innovation programme, [7]here.
Your attention was also drawn to [8]this decision from the European
Ombudsman, which appears to be relevant to your request.
In relation to request 2025-0088, Parliament pointed to the following two
parliamentary Written Questions with REPLY: [9]E-000318/2024 UAP
monitoring and reporting in the EU Space Law; [10]E-002375/2023 European
reports and protocols on unidentified anomalous phenomena
Other 4 Parliament documents on these topics can be found under [11]UFOs
EP doc 1990-1998, i.e. two documents relating to a motion for resolution
on setting up an Observation Centre for UFOs tabled in 1993 (the
[12]report and the [13]motion itself) and two documents containing written
questions and answers from [14]1997 and [15]1998 on UFO sightings.
As pointed out above, you may also carry out a search on Parliament’s
[16]Public Register of Documents by using relevant keywords. For instance,
if you type in "unknown aerial object", [17]no document appears. With the
keyword "UFO", a list of [18]39 documents appears. The word "uct" shows
[19]322 results, not all related to your research. You can click on each
title to display the documents, select one from the scroll down list and
then select the preferred language to display the document.
Nonetheless, should you wish to request public access to any specific
Parliament documents, please do not hesitate to [20]submit a new request.
