This FBIS report summarizes a 1994 Beijing conference where Chinese scientists called for international UFO research cooperation. It notes that while most Chinese sightings are explained as man-made or natural phenomena, some recent cases remain under investigation.
This document, issued by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) on August 21, 1994, reports on a call by Chinese scientists for global cooperation in the research of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). The report details an international conference held in Beijing, where over 50 scientists gathered to discuss the challenges posed by UFOs to modern science and human life. Wang Changting, Chairman of the Beijing-based China UFO Research Organization, emphasized the necessity of a global campaign and the use of state-of-the-art technology to study the phenomenon. The conference showcased over 2,000 photos, videos, audio tapes, books, and documents related to UFO sightings. China claims to have recorded over 5,000 sightings, representing one-eighth of the global total. While Wang noted that most sightings in China have been identified as man-made satellites, aerolites, balloons, or lightning bolts, he highlighted that his organization recorded 'surprising' cases during the previous month, coinciding with the collision of the Shoemaker-Levy comet with Jupiter. These specific cases, which Wang declined to detail, are currently under investigation and may represent 'close encounters of the third kind.' The report also references a 1978 United Nations resolution that urged member nations to conduct research on UFOs.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CARRY OUT A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN, BECAUSE UFOS ARE A WORLDWIDE CONCERN AND COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH IN THE AREA ENTAILS HELP FROM DIFFERENT FIELDS AS WELL AS THE ASSISTANCE OF STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
