UK Government Release UFO Files


The UK's Ministry of Defence has just released 8 new files on UFO sightings dating back to the 1970s, including witness accounts and the government's response.
On May 14th, the MOD released the files to the National Archive as part of a four-year project to make them available to curious members of the public.
The documents include hundreds of police reports taken from witnesses who describe seeing lights or strange objects in the sky, from southern England and Wales up to Northern Ireland.
The files cover reports from 1978 to 1987. The rest, dating from the 1950s and covering recent history, will be released over the coming years.
Nick Pope, the well known UFO investigator who once worked on the MOD's 'UFO Desk', has been involved in their release and appears in an official National Archives video regarding the release of the documents .
