Regarding the attitude Bahá'ís should take toward
unidentified flying objects, the House of Justice points out that they fall in
the category of subjects open to scientific investigation, and as such, may be
of interest to some, but not necessarily to everyone. In any case, Bahá'ís have
a fundamental obligation at this stage of the development of the earth's
people, that is, the responsibility of spreading the unifying Message of
Bahá'u'll'áh.
