There was a meeting involving a number of representatives from the G8 countries, the papacy and three US senators at the United Nations February 12-14, at which the UFO situation was discussed.
Representatives of the US Air Force and the US National Guard were in attendance as well. The meeting was instigated by the senators because of the high level of UFO activity now being seen in the world.
At the meeting, it was decided to consider changing the approach to this matter in 2009 if sightings continue at their present high rate. Specifically, it would be stated that UFOs represent a genuine unknown that is worthy of scientific study, and they may well be guided by a non-human intelligence.
There is a rumor that it was decided to dismiss people claiming alien contact, such as channelers, as charlatans, but this rumor emerged from somebody who did not attend the meeting. Whether or not the matter of abductions and close encounters was discussed is unknown.
