Contact International

Former international UFO organization founded in Britain in 1967 by Brinsley Le Poer Trench (earl of Clancarty), the British peer who introduced the first debate on UFOs in the British House of Lords, the upper chamber of the British Parliament, on January 18, 1979. During the 1980s the organization had members in more than thirty countries. It published a quarterly journal, Awareness, containing UFO world reports and personal experiences, as well as a biannual UFO Register, which sought to present accurate information on UFO phenomena.
