Britain’s Ministry of Defense is making public secret documents related to unidentified flying objects and alleged contacts with aliens. The records, collected between 1978 and 1987, include observations from the public as well as military personnel.

BBC:

These documents will be available to download for free for the first month.

A spokesman for the National Archives said they were now becoming available after several requests made under the Freedom of Information Act, and also because of a “proactive move by the Ministry of Defence for an open and transparent government”.

Much of the previously classified paperwork is made up of correspondence from the public sent to government officials, such as the MoD and then-prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Why do people vote for mental retards like Bush? Sadly, there IS an answer........

But note that this article was only about UFO sightings after 1978..... what about all the rest???

Quote: “Many researchers have hypothesized and attempted to prove that human consciousness is undergoing significant change...”

There seem to be indications that there might be certain elements of the area of unidentified flying objects that are not fantasy.

By doing just a small amount of basic research, we find that high-ranking military officials, intelligence personnel and others make reference to some actual incidents and a complex situation.

Very credible witnesses such as police officers, pilots and military personnel, as well as trustworthy average people, have made interesting reports.

Out government as well as many other world governments, by covering up, denying and using disinformation to discredit the public’s observation, have created a situation where they have little credibility.

The release of information, is an anti climatic, because no one believes them anymore, there are thousands if not millions of people who have seen with their own eyes. The government needs to stop trying to discredit them.

They are not waiting for the governements official stamp of approval to validate what they already know, it’s too late for that.

France was the first government to release what it knew and posted it on a Web site, that Brittain is doing the same thing will give researchers more information.

It is likely, however that, some information will remain hidden from the public, to keep our leadership from panicing and feeling out of control.

It can only happen in the USA!

Parked near the shore of the western-most reach of Lake Mead, east of Las Vegas in the state of Nevada is VICTOR ONE, a spacecraft from an extraterrestrial culture in which the name of Commander Valiant Thor is prominent.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valient_Thorr (not an American Rock band) http://www.nicufo.org/spacecraft.htm
