In the modish in a serial of revelations bound to excite any confederacy theorists out there , the UK government has finally released the last of its newly - declassify UFO files .
Those follow the saga will remember that the UK ’s Ministry of Defence purportedly exhaust all its UFO - related intelligence agency back in 2013 – beforeadmittingthat 18 documents had been held back as they contained potentially sensitive information . Then , last yr , 15 of those papers were released without fanfare , lastly revealing to ufologists the disappointing news that “ no UFO sighting … has ever reveal anything to intimate an extra - planetary presence . ”
Now , finally , the last three are cleared and quick to go to the National Archives . And , while you wo n’t find stories of little green man or narrowly - avoided alien invasions , they do showthe UK took the threat of UFOs – or , to practice their own incredibly British language , “ Unidentified Aerial Phenomena ” ( UAP ) – more seriously than they have been unforced to allow .
The first revelation contained in the new files shows that the MoD ran two desk manage with UFO sightings between 1947 and 1997 . Although one of these desks was bonk to the populace , taking call from citizens report potential UFO sightings , the 2nd was class and staff by intelligence activity experts working to investigate possible extra - terrestrial threat .
One seemingly serious worry revealed by the dossier was that a hostile governance – China or the then - USSR – had charm their own UFO and might use alien engineering to attack the UK . And plain , Britain was on the sentry for their own interplanetary pegleg - up : the reports show that officials expressed a major interest in the UK witness their own little ET to help them agitate the commie .
" Monitor all reports in case in the future tense the hitherto unknown / not understand underlying phenomenon is being exploit by another nation , " a fourth-year Air Force Commander is reveal to have pen . " An factual – or likely foe – could break a flying equipment with the characteristics that these phenomenon seem to have … mellow velocity , shrewd manoeuvre , stationary flying and few radar return . ” The RAF was to be informed of “ … refreshing technologies which might be utile to their program … Propulsion , stealing and any refreshing electromagnetic engineering are of particular interest . ”
The MoD ’s UFO unit was closed in 2000 after an investigation , also declassify this year , concluded that UAP reports " do not demonstrably leave information utile for Defence Intelligence . ” But is thatjust another layerof the conspiracy ? Perhaps the accuracy is still out there … but , deplorably , the chances are it’sprobably not .
