The truth is out there: declassified reports of UFO sightings reveal 88 si
The truth is out there: declassified reports of UFO sightings reveal 88 sightings last year
By Robert Verkaik, Legal Affairs Correspondent
03 February 2005


Details of Britain's most recent UFO sightings are revealed in previously secret documents disclosed to The Independent .

The files, released under the Freedom of Information Act, show that, last year, the Ministry of Defence's UFO unit received 88 reports from military staff and members of the public worried about unexplained objects in our skies.

The classified files help to complete a picture of the scale of UFO sightings first revealed by this paper last month. These updated "X-files" show the most recent observations were made on 15 January this year following two separate reports from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and Whitstable, Kent. The reports refer to "strange lights seen in the sky".

Other sightings give more detail. A report from Devizes in Wiltshire on 24 September last year records an object that: "Looked liked a big ball of fire coming down from the sky with a tail and sparks coming off the end of it." Another, from Somerset the week before, states: "The object looked like a great bright light and was really intense, like a ball of fire coming down from the sky, rapidly moving towards the ground."

1. Was bigfoot flying them?

Sounds like a bolide, a really bright meteor. I've seen a few. Seen irridium flares too. That's a satellite with a shiny surface that suddenly catches sunlight. It goes from being invisible to intensely bright and back to invisible in seconds.
