UK opens Ministry of Defence UFO files

THE TRUTH IS IN THERE The release of classified documents sheds light on some of the UK’s most infamous ‘alien’ encounters, but also raises questions

THE OBSERVER , LONDON

Former MoD official Nick Pope described the photographs as “one of the most intriguing [UFO] cases in the MoD’s files.”

David Clarke, a lecturer in journalism at Sheffield Hallam University and author of Flying Saucerers: A Social History of UFOlogy said: “Many questions remain. Who was the photographer and how can we be sure his story was genuine? Why did the Daily Record decide not to publish the photographs in 1990? If they really were taken on the date stated, then why was the MoD unable to trace the origin of the Harriers clearly shown in the print?”
