Britain set to release secret UFO files Published: Dec. 23, 2007 at 4:24 PM
LONDON, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- The British government will soon release previously classified details regarding hundreds of reported sightings of unidentified flying objects.
The Sunday Telegraph said Sunday that this coming spring, the Defense Ministry will release to the general public 160 files about alleged UFO sightings.
Since the British government department began keeping records about the unusual reports in 1950, more than 10,000 sightings have been recorded.
With officials failing to explain 5 percent of those sightings, a growing number of Freedom of Information requests prompted the release of the classified information.
A former head of the Defense Ministry UFO project told the newspaper that no matter what an individual believes regarding UFOs, the released files should prove to be interesting reading.
"Whatever people think about UFOs, these documents are fascinating and show how the MoD has researched and investigated this mystery for nearly 60 years, without an answer," former department official Nick Pope said.
