UK MOD shuts down the whole UFO Research Department after 50 years!

Friday, December 04, 2009

Sad news everyone on December 1 the Ministry of Defence terminated its UFO project. After over 50 years of investigating the phenomenon, the plug was pulled in a most unceremonious way.
Noke pope former UK MOD minister explains why this is a very bad move:

The news was slipped out so as not to attract attention. An amendment was made to an existing document in the freedom of information section of the MoD website, entitled "How to report a UFO sighting". The announcement states: "In over fifty years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom." It goes on to say that the "MOD will no longer respond to reported UFO sightings or investigate them". When rumbled, the MoD press office implyied that the money saved (about £50,000 a year) would be spent on body armour in Afghanistan. I doubt it will be. As someone whose 21-year MoD career included a posting in a financial policy division, I suspect that's not how it works. Finance has played a part in this, I am sure. The defence budget is under huge pressure and the UFO project was doubtless an easy target for the Treasury and MoD financiers.

1. There are no 'discs' visiting from outside the earth.

2. Whatever ufo is flying is already identified as classified stealth flight of US govt.

3. So, let us forget all such silly nonsense of extraterrestrials, and be happy with this earth.; 5:20 PM
