RAF's ‘X-Files' of reported UFO sightings over Britain to be released for the first time
[TheSun] CLAIMED sightings of UFOs reported to the RAF by terrified members of the British public are to be published online for the first time.The RAF ran a UFO unit for five decades but chose to shut it down in 2009 after it concluded none of the reports sent in offered evidence of a potential threat. Previously, records from the unit were given to the National Archives, often initially classified before being released after a specific number of years. But the most recent reports received by the RAF will be placed online, the PA news agency revealed following a Freedom of Information Act request. Members of the public reporting alleged UFO sightings are now directed to their local police force. In response to the FOI request, the RAF described the files it held as "comprising entirely of correspondence with members of the public". Military reports to be withheld. After meeting Jim Penniston, I understand why. Posted by: Woodrow 2020-01-28 |
