UFOs in the UK: Britain's Actual 'X-Files' Released

[Jazzy]

Britain has just released more of its massive collection of X-Files -- over 8,000 pages of documents detailing UFO investigations, eyewitness testimony and military concerns about possible extraterrestrial visitors.



The files are the largest disclosure of declassified documents released to date online by the National Archives and can be downloaded at no cost for the next month.



The documents include stories, drawings, letters, a House of Lords UFO debate, details about a flying saucer hoax that was thought to be an alien invasion of the U.K. and fascinating facts about how 1978 almost became the year of the UFO.



These documents show absolutely beyond a doubt that over many, many years, Ministry of Defense officials, government ministers and defense intelligence staff have treated the UFO issue seriously, Nick Pope told AOL News.



Pope headed up the British government's UFO project, analyzing classified files at the Ministry of Defense from 1991 to 1993.



The Ministry of Defense's position was: We don't know what these things are, we don't believe they're of any defense significance. But it remained open-minded about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life, Pope said.

I heard about this sort of thing on the news yesterday, and I still don't believe in UFOs or the extra-terrestrial. However, there is something out there...
