Flying Saucer Working Party (or FSWP) was the name of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) first "official study into UFOs", which has its roots in a study commissioned in 1950 by the MOD’s then Chief Scientific Adviser, the great radar scientist Sir Henry Tizard. As a result of his insistence that UFO sightings should not be dismissed without some form of proper scientific study, the Department set up what writer Nick Pope has described as "arguably the most marvellously-named committee in the history of the civil service"

It was the first official study of UFO's by the UK government and it set out towards investigating evidence in alleged UFO encounters and it insisted that any possible encounters should not be dismissed without scientific analysis. The roots of the group originated from the United Kingdom Ministry of defence scientific advisor Henry Tizard, who was an established radar scientist. A well known incident which the group covered was the Rendlesham Forest Incident, in which the reports on this were made public in 2001.
