(June 25) -- Will the European Union disclose any UFO files it might have, as one lawmaker called for several days ago, perhaps bringing new facts to a field long relegated by government officials as science fiction?
（6月25日） - 歐洲聯盟將會否披露任何它可能有的不明飛行物檔案，因為一名議員幾天前呼籲過，或許對這一被政府官員貶為科幻小說的領域帶來新的事實？
Maybe, but this isn't the first time world leaders have had a close encounter with UFOs.
也許吧，但這不是第一次世界各國領導人與UFO有密切的接觸。
As AOL News reported here earlier this week, Italian Northern League party leader Mario Borghezio has urged all 27-member EU governments to open the books and reveal any previously secret UFO files.
正如美國在線本週早些時候新聞報導，意大利北方聯盟黨領導人馬里奧 Borghezio，已敦促所有歐盟政府的27個成員國打開賬簿，和揭露先前的任何秘密不明飛行物檔案。
Mario Borghezio, a member of the European Parliament, is lobbying the EU to release its secret UFO files
馬里奧 Borghezio是一歐洲議會成員，在遊說歐盟公佈它的秘密不明飛行物檔案
In Borghezio's declaration, he mentioned a 1978 United Nations summit in which "the 33rd General Assembly ... formally recognized UFOs as a valid issue."
在Borghezio的聲明，他提及一次1978年聯合國首腦會議，其中“第33屆大會...正式認知不明飛行物 作為一項有效的議題。”
When I read Borghezio's reference, it struck an obvious chord in my memory. Obvious because I was directly involved, and to a large degree, responsible for bringing UFOs to the attention of the U.N. that year.
當我讀到 Borghezio的參考，它敲打一下明顯的和弦在我的記憶中。明顯因為我是直接參與，和在很大程度上，在那一年負責把不明飛行物帶至聯合國的關注。
Let me share some of that experience with you.
讓我與您分享一些那方面的經驗。
In 1977, Eric Gairy, the prime minister of the Caribbean island nation of Grenada, was struggling to generate U.N. interest in his personal crusade to establish an international committee dedicated to studying and sharing UFO reports.
在1977年，加勒比島國格林納達的總理埃里克蓋裡，正努力去產生聯合國的興趣，在他個人的聖戰去建立一個國際委員會，專責研究和分享UFO報告。
Meantime, I had recently produced a documentary record album (yes, vinyl!) for CBS Inc., called "UFOs: The Credibility Factor." It featured the voices of military, government and scientific experts coming together for the first time on record to talk about the possibility that some UFOs might really be alien spacecraft.
同時，我最近為哥倫比亞廣播公司製作了一部紀錄片專輯（是的，乙烯基！），稱為“不明飛行物：確實有效性因素。”它以軍方、政府和科學專家的聲音為特色，首次一起來有記錄地談論，一些UFO可能真的是外星人的宇宙飛船的可能性。
After that album, I wanted to do more to help people who dared to speak about their own personal UFO experiences -- only to be met with ridicule and scorn.
在那專輯之後，我想做多些去幫那些人，他們敢於談論他們自己的個人UFO經驗 - 只為得到嘲笑和輕蔑。
Dreamer that I was, I wanted to bring something before the United Nations, to try to get that esteemed group of international leaders to finally come together on a subject that could potentially advance the world in both scientific and sociological ways.
If you want to do something at the U.N., I learned, you can't just walk in off the street and announce that you want to tell the world how important UFOs are (or any subject, for that matter). You have to either be a delegate or sponsored by a country.
So I sent my UFO album to Gairy via the Grenada embassy in New York. He and I met and struck a deal: I told him I was aware of his efforts lobbying the U.N. to pay attention to his UFO campaign, and I offered to produce a presentation with a stacked lineup of UFO experts bound to pique the interest of international leaders.
所以，我寄我的UFO專輯給蓋裡，通過紐約的格林納達大使館。他和我會晤並達成一項協議：我告訴他我知道他的努力在遊說聯合國，注意他的UFO運動，和我提供去製作一個介紹，有一堆不明飛行物專家的陣容，必將激起國際領導人的興趣。
Former WNBC Radio producer Lee Speigel (now a writer for AOL News) organized a meeting of military, scientific and psychological experts with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim on July 14, 1978, to plan a presentation to the U.N. Special Political Committee. Topic: the importance of establishing an international UFO study panel.
前WNBC電台製作人李史比高（現在是 AOL新聞作者）在1978年7月14日組織一軍事、科學和心理專家，與聯合國秘書長瓦爾德海姆的會議 ，計劃對給聯合國特別政治委員會作一介紹，題目：建立國際UFO研究小組的重要性。
He quickly agreed, and I spent 1978 gathering my ammunition for the November event.
他很快同意了，和我花去我1978年為11月事件收集的彈藥 。
In July of that year, I arranged for several of my UFO "presenters" to meet with Gairy and U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to discuss our plans.
在那一年7月，我安排我的幾位不明飛行物“介紹人”去見蓋裡，和聯合國秘書長瓦爾德海姆去討論我們的計劃。
The experts I requested included astronomer (and former UFO consultant to the Air Force) J. Allen Hynek, who coined the term "Close Encounters of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Kind."
我邀請的專家包括天文學家（和前空軍UFO顧問）林樂知希內克，他創造“第一、第二和第三類緊密接觸”的術語。
On hand with Hynek and me were French astronomer Jacques Vallee; astrophysicist Claude Poher, who headed up the official French UFO research group; psychologist David Saunders, a member of the famous U.S. government Condon Committee, which discredited UFOs in 1969; and Gordon Cooper, one of America's original "right stuff" astronauts.
在希內克和我手頭上是法國天文學家雅克瓦利;天體物理學家克勞德 Poher，他領導法國官方不明飛行物研究小組;心理學家大衛桑德斯，著名美國政府康登委員會的一位成員，委員會在1969年抹黑UFO;及哥敦庫柏，一位美國的原“啱料的”太空人。
At this highly publicized meeting, Hynek told Waldheim that he and many of his colleagues felt that "the time has come for official education of the public regarding UFOs. We now recognize that, apart from its potential scientific importance, it has sociological and political significance."
I spent the rest of 1978 collecting a large number of pictures, films and documents to be included in the final November presentation -- many of which had to be translated into several languages for the delegates.
我花去1978年剩餘的時間收集大量的圖畫、影片和文件，全被包括在11月份最後的介紹 - 其中許多要為代表們翻譯成幾種語言。
Among the documents given me by Hynek was one he'd managed to secure from the Air Force while he was the official scientific consultant. It was a chapter from a 1968 textbook, "Introductory Space Science," created by the USAF Academy department of physics. And it was, of course, not for the public eye.
由希內克給我的文件，其中一份是他設法從空軍取得，當他還是官方科學顧問的時候。那是一章來自 1968年的教科書，“空間科學導論”，由美國空軍學院物理系創作，而且它是，當然，不是為公眾的視線。

In the lengthy chapter, titled "Unidentified Flying Objects," Air Force officials laid out for academy cadets clear and concise information about UFOs, including the following, almost shocking, revelations (completely contrary to official explanations):
在長長的一章，標題為“不明飛行物”，空軍官員為學院學員制定清晰而簡明的有關UFO信息，包括以下內容，幾乎令人震驚的揭示（完全與官方的解釋不同）：
"What we will do here is to present evidence that UFOs are a global phenomenon which may have persisted for many thousands of years ...
“我們將在這裡做的是要提出證據， UFOs是一個全球性現象，它可能已持續好多千年...
"The most stimulating theory for us is that the UFOs are material objects which are either 'manned' or remote-controlled by beings who are alien to this planet. There is some evidence supporting this viewpoint."
“對我們最刺激的理論是，不明飛行物是實物，它們要麼是'載人'的，或要麼是由對這個星球來說是外星人的人所遙遠控制的，有一些證據支持這一觀點。”
After offering cadets numerous examples of UFO cases that were unexplained, the chapter concludes, "This leaves us with the unpleasant possibility of alien visitors to our planet, or at least of alien controlled UFOs ... and what questionable data there are suggests the existence of at least three and maybe four different groups of aliens."
在給予學員數個無法解釋的UFO個案例子後，章的結論是，“這外星訪客到我們的地球遺下給我們不愉快的可能性，或者至少是外星人控制的不明飛行物 ...和那裡有什麼可質疑的數據，提出至少有三個，和也許四個不同類別的外星人存在。“
Even filmmaker Steven Spielberg offered to help with our 1978 presentation. Just a few months after the 1977 premiere of his epic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (in which astronomer Hynek served as technical adviser), Hynek, Vallee and I met with Spielberg in California, and he offered to have Columbia Pictures provide UFO-related materials to show at the U.N.
即使電影製片史蒂芬史匹堡提出幫助我們的1978年介紹。
When the day of the event arrived, Nov. 27, 1978, in addition to speeches given to the special political committee by Hynek and Vallee, nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman spoke about the evidence that favored his theory of extraterrestrial visitation.
當事件的這一天來到，1978年11月27日，除了由希內克和瓦利對特別政治委員會發言，核物理學家斯坦頓弗里德曼談到證據，支持他的外星探訪理論。
A United Nations news conference followed the Nov. 27, 1978, presentation by scientists on the need to establish an international study committee about UFOs. Pictured, from left, are nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, producer Lee Speigel, Grenada Minister of Education Wellington Friday, Grenada Prime Minister Eric Gairy and astronomer J. Allen Hynek.
聯合國的一個新聞發布會跟隨1978年11月27日，由科學家介紹需要去建立一個關於不明飛行物的國際研究委員會。
And there was also Army Lt. Col. Larry Coyne, who electrified the committee with a story about a night in 1973 when he and his Army helicopter crew had a terrifying close encounter with a UFO.
而且亦有陸軍中校拉里科因，他以一個故事電親委員會，有關1973年的一個晚上，當時他和他的軍隊直升機機組人員，與一架UFO有可怕的密切接觸。
One of the documents I obtained for the event was a letter that I asked ex-astronaut Cooper to write, which was distributed to all U.N. delegates. In it, he said, "I believe these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth.
其中我獲得的一份與會文件是一封信，那是我問前宇航員庫珀寫的，分發給所有聯合國代表。在內他說：“我相信這些外星交通工具和他們的船員，正在從其它行星訪問這個星球，那顯然是技術先進多一點，比起我們在地球上這裡。 “
"I would also like to point out that most astronauts are very reluctant to even discuss UFOs due to the great numbers of people who have indiscriminately sold fake stories and forged documents, abusing their names and reputations without hesitation."
“我還想指出，大多數太空人都極不願意甚至討論不明飛行物，由於大量的人不加選擇地出售假冒的故事和偽造的文件，濫用他們的的名字和名聲而沒有猶豫。”
It was an amazing experience, bringing all these people together for such a high-profile event. The outcome of all our efforts was that the General Assembly invited interested member nations "to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to inform the secretary-general of the observations, research and evaluation of such activities."
But the UFO issue quietly hit the back burner on the U.N. agenda when, in early 1979, Gairy was overthrown in Grenada by opposition leader Maurice Bishop.
但是UFO議題悄悄地在聯合國議程上暫時擱置，當在1979年初，蓋裡在格林納達被反對派領導人莫里斯主教推翻
。 So, here we are in 2010 with a new international effort afoot. It's no wonder I feel a little kinship with the European Union's Borghezio. It would be great if his endeavor to pry some real UFO stuff out of the EU works.
It's been 32 years since I tried it at the U.N. I'm a patient man.
它已經 32年自我在聯合國試過，我是一個有耐性的人。

歐盟議員倡公開UFO檔案
2010年07月08日(四)
【本報訊】有歐盟議員呼籲歐盟成員國，公開不明飛行物體（UFO）秘密檔案，集成Ｘ檔案予民眾參閱，皆因民眾有認識第三類接觸、了解UFO的需要。
歐洲議會的意大利議員博爾蓋西奧（Mario Borghezio）呼籲，歐盟所有成員國為歷來發現的UFO資料開一個Ｘ檔案，包括軍方蒐集的UFO資料，讓公眾盡覽無遺，停止有系統地掩飾相關資料。他又認為，歐盟應成立一個科研中心研究UFO，說不定將來可以得出重大的成果。目前，博爾蓋西奧正收集議員簽名支持這一動議，在七百三十六名議員中，成功取得十八人簽署。
公開UFO資料並非無前例，去年，英國便曾在網上公開上世紀八、九十年代約八百宗發現UFO個案。
