Britain released 35 previously classified files Thursday that catalogue half a century of sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) by the military and members of the public, stretching back to the 1950s. The files contain around 8,500 pages, mainly covering the period from 1997 to 2005, and include photographs, drawings and descriptions of flying saucers, as well as letters the Ministry of Defence (MoD) sent to eyewitnesses in response to their accounts. Policemen, a soldier, a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer and members of the public all reported sightings of objects, including a "chewy mint shaped solid craft" and aerial objects resembling a "ring," a "jellyfish" and a "silver voile spin top." In one account, a man said he believed he had been abducted by aliens in October 1998 after seeing an unidentified craft hover over his London home and finding he had gained an hour of time in the process. "It was a large cigar-shaped vehicle with big projectiles on each side like wings," he told the MoD. "It seemed to have two very bright lights at the front and a white light flashing round and round underneath. ... As you can imagine, I felt quite shaken," he said. |
