A raft of documents released by the Ministry of Defence today contains nearly 7,000 pages of information on successive governments' UFO policies, Parliamentary questions, public correspondence and sightings of UFOs.
The documents were released after a campaign by Dr David Clarke, who has been asking the Ministry of Defence for them since 2003, and are the ninth such release.
This latest batch of files on UFOs from the MoD show that:
ââ¬Â¢ Tony Blair was briefed on UFO and alien defence policy as he was so concerned about the disclosure of classified information on extra-terrestrials when he was Prime Minister:
ââ¬Â¢ A Whitehall civil servant was paid to investigate UFO reports
ââ¬Â¢ Government officials believed aliens 'might come here for holidays' and suggested harnessing UFO technology for British defences.
