UK releases classified UFO files

[Daecon]

The UK is making decades' worth of classified files relating to UFOs freely available to the public.

 

On Monday, the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) began a four-year-long project to transfer the files to the UK's National Archives, which will post them for public perusal. The announcement comes about one year after France made its UFO files available online.

 

The project is a response to massive public interest and numerous Freedom of Information (FOI) requests about UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects, that have been filed over the years. Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator at the MOD, called the release "a great day for open government and freedom of information".

 

When complete, the National Archive will contain some 160 UFO-related MOD files from the 1950s to 2007, representing the single largest release of records in the ministry's history.

Oh, everybody just knows that this is just a diversion, so the government doesn't ever have to tell the truth about that alien mothership it keeps in their secret hangars .

Surely it`s in the Militaries best interests to indirectly (too directly and it looks deliberate) promote this UFO E.T idea(s).

 

in fact the Ideal would be to have folks So Blasé to the concept they can fly whatever secret airplane they like in public and just have Joe Q say "it`s just another one of them there UFO thingummy bobs".

The RAF report that came out a couple of years ago had access to all of this and their conclusions where quite simply "UFOs are not aliens"
