UK UFO files available from the national archives

[matthyaouw]

Secret files on UFO sightings have been made available for the first time by the Ministry of Defence.

The documents, which can be downloaded from the National Archives website, cover the period from 1978 to 1987.

They include accounts of strange lights in the sky and unexplained objects being spotted by the public, armed forces and police officers.

The eight released files are part of almost 200 files set to be made available over the next four years.

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

I saw this and thought it might be of interest to some people.
Some sound a bit.. well... made up! but see for yourself.

I saw that earlier. The "round glowing craft" that supposedly landed on an airway before immediately taking off was unusual. I thought they had security cameras covering runways, no?

I find this release of previously classified UFO files by the Ministry of Defence to be a significant development. It provides an opportunity for further research and analysis of reported sightings and encounters, potentially shedding light on the nature of these phenomena. While some of the accounts may seem far-fetched, it is important to approach them with an open mind and utilize scientific methods to examine the evidence presented.

I am also pleased to see that these files will be available for free download for the first month, allowing for wider access and potential collaboration among researchers. It will be interesting to see how these files contribute to the ongoing discussion and investigation of UFOs and their possible origins. I encourage individuals to review the files and contribute to the scientific discourse surrounding this topic.
