On November 27, 1978, Gairy introduced to the Special Political Committee draft resolution A/SPC/33/L.20, which would have recommended that the United Nations, in consultation with the appropriate specialized agencies, "initiate, conduct and co-ordinate research into the nature and origin of unidentified flying objects," asked the Secretary-General to invite Member States, specialized agencies and non-governmental organizations to submit information and proposals by May 31, 1979, and provided for a group of experts to meet during the sessions of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. After consultations the Committee agreed by consensus on a draft decision, and Grenada did not press the draft resolution to a vote.[^89] The decision, adopted by consensus by the General Assembly on December 18, 1978 as decision 33/426, took note of Grenada's statements and draft resolutions, invited interested Member States to co-ordinate at the national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, requested the Secretary-General to transmit the Grenada statements and documentation to the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space for its 1979 session, and provided that the Committee would permit Grenada, at its request, to present its views.[^91]
In 1994, [[Laurance Rockefeller]] wrote to the White House science adviser, [[John H. Gibbons]], that preliminary talks had been held about a United Nations conference on extraterrestrial intelligence.[^92]
The committee's summary record of the 35th meeting, on November 27, 1978, lists Gairy, Grenada's Minister of Education Wellington Friday, and Hynek (designated as speaking for Grenada), followed by [[Jacques Vallee]], whose entry carries no delegation designation, and by Lt. Col. Coyne on an October 18, 1973 helicopter encounter over Ohio. Gairy told the committee that several scientists formed part of Grenada's delegation and that Grenada had invited scientists who had taken part in the First International Congress on the UFO Phenomenon (Acapulco, April 1977) to make statements. Hynek said UFO reports had been assembled from 133 countries. Vallee said the phenomenon had a physical, a psycho-physiological and a social-belief aspect and that he had studied reports from France and the United States for over 15 years.[^92] The committee approved the four-paragraph text of the decision by consensus at its 47th meeting on December 8, 1978.[^93]
