TEXT :
((TEXT)) BEIJING, APRIL 16 (XINHUA) -- THE CHINA UFO RESEARCH
ORGANIZATION (CURO) WILL HOLD A NATIONAL CONFERENCE NEXT MONTH IN
BEIJING.
WANG CHANGTING, ACTING CHAIRMAN OF THE CURO, SAID THAT SEARCHING
FOR CREATURES THAT MIGHT BE LIVING IN OTHER SOLAR SYSTEMS IS ONE OF
THE THEMES OF THE "1992 INTERNATIONAL SPACE YEAR".
MORE THAN 100 CHINESE AND OVERSEAS RESEARCHERS WILL BE PRESENT,
MAKING THE ACTIVITY THE LARGEST OF ITS KIND EVER HELD IN CHINA.
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, ALSO KNOWN AS FLYING SAUCERS, BECAME
A HOT TOPIC IN CHINA IN THE LATE 1970S. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 5,000
SIGHTINGS OF UNEXPLAINED AERIAL PHENOMENA IN CHINA.
THE FIRST REPORT OF UFOS CAME FROM AMERICA, AND THERE HAVE BEEN
400,000 REPORTS OF SIGHTINGS WORLDWIDE.
IN 1978 THE UNITED NATIONS CALLED ON THE GOVERNMENTS OF ALL
COUNTRIES BE ON FULL ALERT FOR SIGHTINGS AND ESTABLISH UFO
INVESTIGATION BODIES.
CHINA SET UP ITS OWN UFO INVESTIGATION BODY, CURO, IN 1978, AND
IT IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE CHINA ASSOCIATION FOR SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY, LARGELY SUPPORTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
