p2pnet - rss feed: Britain opens secret UFO ‘X’ Files
p2pnet news | Cool Stuff:- Are we indeed alone? Or aren’t we?
“What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?” - asked Winston Churchill in July, 1952.
Now you may be able to draw your own conclusions because Britain’s Ministry of Defence has for the first time unlocked its secret ‘X-files’ of UFO sightings —- online.
Documents, including handwritten notes and diagrams from people who claim they’ve actually been inside alien spaceships, can be downloaded from the National Archives site.
Covering 1978 to 1987, “The files contain a wide range of UFO-related documents covering the years 1978–2002. So if you want to find out more about lights in the sky over Waterloo Bridge, near misses by pilots, crop circles - and what the UK government thought of it all,” says the intro.
A year before Churchill’s questions, “The Sunday Dispatch was encouraged to publish stories by Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was later to become Chief of Defence Staff,” says the a briefing document, going on, “Mountbatten was one of a small group of influential military officials who believed UFOs were real and of interplanetary origin.
Another senior official who took reports of UFOs seriously, “was Sir Henry Tizard. He is best known for his work on the development of radar before the Second World War,” says the briefing paper, noting, “Post-war Tizard became Chief Scientific Advisor to the Ministry of Defence and came to believe that ‘reports of flying saucers should not be dismissed without some investigation’ (DEFE 41/74). It was as a direct result of his influence that the MoD was asked to set up a small working party to investigate reports of flying saucers under the Directorate of Scientific Intelligence/Joint Technical Intelligence Committee.”
The 160 files, the first eight of which, throw up no “saucer-in-a-hangar smoking gun” in the skies, says the Independent, adding:
“The files, one of which is more than 450 pages long, show that since the 1950s thousands of seemingly ordinary people have claimed UFO sightings in this country.”

Why do people even bother? IF a government ever had real proof of alien life, they would NEVER release it. All these document releases do is confirm that people think they’ve seen aliens and that they reported it.
