The National Archives, this week released more than 6000 UFO sightings reported to the MoD over a period of 6 years.
Examples include, hurried sketches, anxious letters and Parliamentary questions from worried (crazy) witnesses of apparent alien activity.
The latest batch of reports sent in by "overzealous ufologists", refers to a time between 1994-2000, notably, a time when ‘The X-Files’ was at it’s peak.
The fifth instalment of documents is the latest to be released as part of a three year project with the Ministry of Defence which will see them make public the files from the last 10 years by the end of 2011. Isn’t it exciting Robbie Williams!?
Several sightings of the more ‘traditional’ shaped flying saucers were reported alongside flying "Toblerone" aircrafts, “tubes of light” and cases of what the enthusiasts refer to as “close encounters of the second kind”. Basically this refers to the physical effects that remain following sightings.
In one case, on 20 March 1997, a man from Birmingham gave an account of a large illuminated object hovering above his garden at 4am. The man claimed the craft shot off and left a “silky-white” substance, he collected this in a jar. Hmmmm... The report comments fail to mention whether the 1997 Dana Scully calendar was found in his garden or not.
