Former UK armed forces chief wants probe on UFO sighting
August 17th, 2009 - 3:32 pm ICT by ANILondon, Aug.17 (ANI): So disturbed was the British Government over reports of US Air Force personnel seeing an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) on December 27, 1980 in the Rendlesham Forest area in Suffolk, that a former head of the armed forces wrote to the then Defence Secretary urging him to “demonstrate a more serious concern”.
According to files released by the Ministry of Defence, former Chief of Defence Staff, Lord Hill-Norton, wrote to then Defence Secretary Michael Heseltine urging him to undertake a serious investigation of the matter.
According to The Telegraph, that incident was just one among the hundreds of reports of UFO close encounters, from aliens with lemon-shaped heads to laser beams being shot to earth, contained in the files.
Other episodes include when two “sober” Glastonbury festival goers saw a flying saucer hover overhead and dozens of sightings which turned out to be a Virgin Airship and two boys who claimed an alien told them: “We want you, come with us”. The incident has become known as “Britain’s own Roswell”, and has never been fully explained.The late Lord Hill-Norton is said to have expressed his concern over the “puzzling and disquieting features” of the case.
Lord Hill-Norton wrote: “Your officials should be ready to demonstrate a more serious concern with its implications than they have so far manifested. There seems to be a head of steam building up on this matter, and I can see a potential ‘banana-skin’ looming.” (ANI)
