"Without warning, the orange UFO swooped toward them. The crew of the RAF Vulcan bomber banked hard and radioed they were being chased across the Atlantic by a large mysterious object. The incident was classified as a UFO sighting and the details were immediately locked away.
Now, 30 years later, the extraordinary encounter is among thousands of previously secret cases contained in the government's 'X-Files' that officials are to release in their entirety.

The cases, many from a little-known defence intelligence branch tasked with investigating UFO claims, will be published by the Ministry of Defence to counter what officials say is 'the maze of rumour and frequently ill-informed speculation' surrounding Whitehall and its alleged involvement with Unidentifed Flying Objects.
The public opening of the MoD archive will expose the once highly classified work of the intelligence branch DI55, whose mission was to
investigate UFO reports and whose existence was denied by the government until recently. Reports into about 7,000 UFO sightings investigated by defence officials - every single claim lodged over the past 30 years - are included in the files, whose staged release will begin in spring.

The decision to release Whitehall's full back-catalogue of UFO investigations was taken last month after the Directorate of Air Space Policy, the government agency responsible for filtering sensitive reports, gave its permission to publish the biggest single release of documents in MoD history. Now the government fears a repeat of the unprecedented demand and the website crash experienced by the French national space agency in March when it released its own UFO files. Government IT experts are believed to have drawn up contingency plans to avoid a repeat scenario when Britain's dossiers are finally made public....UFOs remain one of the most popular subjects for Freedom of Information requests and the release is certain to generate a massive response from the public when the files are placed in the National Archives. Clarke, who has lodged hundreds of FoI requests, recently discovered that the government was considering destroying the 24 files created by DI55 because they were contaminated by asbestos. Not only were the UFO records polluted, but a total of 63,000 files estimated at between six to 12 million pages - most of them classified as secret - were facing the same fate. Having admitted the existence of the problem to Clarke, the MoD opted to instigate a £3m project digitally to scan the files before they were destroyed. Scanning of the 24 contaminated UFO files owned by DI55 was completed last year, although it is understood that names of officials in the reports will be removed.

Although the government remains reticent to discuss its intelligence work on UFOs, it is known that DI55 has been hot on the trail of flying saucers since the Sixties. Experts admit that they work closely with the security services MI5, MI6 and GCHQ to collect and assess evidence of potential threats to Britain.

The decision by the UK to open its files could lead to the US government following suit. A group of former pilots and government officials recently urged the Pentagon to reopen investigations into claims of UFO sightings"

Now the big question Why are they releasing this now most of this material has a minimum of 100 years on it before it can be released .

did you know Tony Blair read most of these files "why" there is something in the wind

my guess is they want people to pay attention to these old occurences,

in order to distract them from more contemporary stuff that is going on...
maybe right now......

Or could they be preparing us for an event

STEPHENVILLE, Texas - In this farming community where nightfall usually brings clear, starry skies, residents are abuzz over reported sightings of what many believe is a UFO.

Several dozen people — including a pilot, county constable and business owners — insist they have seen a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast. Some reported seeing fighter jets chasing it.

"People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times," said Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot who said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide. "It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts."

While federal officials insist there's a logical explanation, locals swear that it was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than an airplane. They also said the object's lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane. People in several towns who reported seeing it over several weeks have offered similar descriptions of the object.

Machinist Ricky Sorrells said friends made fun of him when he told them he saw a flat, metallic object hovering about 300 feet over a pasture behind his Dublin home. But he decided to come forward after reading similar accounts in the Stephenville Empire-Tribune.

"You hear about big bass or big buck in the area, but this is a different deal," Sorrells said. "It feels good to hear that other people saw something, because that means I'm not crazy."

Sorrells said he has seen the object several times. He said he watched it through his rifle's telescopic lens and described it as very large and without seams, nuts or bolts.

Maj. Karl Lewis, a spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at the Joint Reserve Base Naval Air Station in Fort Worth, said no F-16s or other aircraft from his base were in the area the night of Jan. 8, when most people reported the sighting.

Lewis said the object may have been an illusion caused by two commercial airplanes. Lights from the aircraft would seem unusually bright and may appear orange from the setting sun.

"I'm 90 percent sure this was an airliner," Lewis said. "With the sun's angle, it can play tricks on you."

Officials at the region's two Air Force bases — Dyess in Abilene and Sheppard in Wichita Falls — also said none of their aircraft were in the area last week. The Air Force no longer investigates UFOs.

One man has offered a reward for a photograph or videotape of the mysterious object.

About 200 UFO sightings are reported each month, mostly in California, Colorado and Texas, according to the Mutual UFO Network, which plans to go to the 17,000-resident town of Stephenville to investigate.

Fourteen percent of Americans polled last year by The Associated Press and Ipsos say they have seen a UFO.

i saw these articles - it seems pretty consistent with the way ufos are always descfribed from around that area.
i wonder what it is?
or who it is.....?

Stay tuned for a major announcement

Well...thanks to The Disclosure Project. This UFO or USO thing is not a secret anymore.

An ex-RAF intelligence officer, David Kingston, interviewed many pilots worldwide who believe they have met beings from "other worlds".

The amateur film footage David Kingston has made available to us are both instances of objects flying over Dorset, in Dorchester and over Bridport.

At a recent sighting in the Dorset countryside we examine film footage of the experience which has been accredited by scientists as "genuine".

Another pilot recalls close contact from the age of five and tells of "missing time" in the New Forest he just can't explain.

A College lecturer from Southampton, Craig Roberts, is the lecturer in the country's only course in Ufology.

His students have won awards for their investigations and give up their spare time to search the skies.

We also join a UFO group as they search the heavens above the Devil's Punchbowl near Winchester. Could they be about to reveal something truly diabolical?

Perhaps the most fascinating event is what happened over Havant.
UFO
Anthony Woods says this was the 'Commanding Leader' of the fleet.

On Friday March 22, 2002 a fleet of UFOs was seen over Bedhampton, Havant. It was witnessed and videotaped by Anthony Woods, a local resident who has been documenting on video the unusual activity of the unknown flying objects.

Anthony Woods says the activity was so intense it seems to have attracted the interest of the military helicopters whose presence over the area seems to have been increased.

Anthony was in the company of his wife Samantha and both of them were amazed of the large number of white luminous spheres that, in perfect formation, seemed to be performing sophisticated manoeuvres in an amazing display of technology.

He said: "I have filmed some stunning footage today! I first noticed a fleet of spheres above my home around midday; there were hundreds of them! Me, my wife and daughter watched them; I taped over 30 minutes of footage.

This 'fleet of UFOs was seen over Bedhampton, Havant in March this year.

"They were locked together in strange formations, some moving as others hovered, some were touching each other. There were at least 100 objects, probably more. I have never seen so many together before."

After the initial fleet had departed, there were many single and group objects that appeared. I taped these for about 40 minutes.

At 1.55pm the "Commanding Leader" appeared in the scenario in a spectacular display of maneuvering performance.

This craft was a huge, dark red glowing, kind of dual big sphere structured object definitely at very low altitude with a rotating sequence.

Have you ever heard of USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) at Laguna Cartagena and Shag Harbor? If you have the complete information, share it okay? I'm investigating it, or you can say ... studying it.
I only have a little info about this "Deep Sea UFOs"

You can find it at History Channels "Deep Sea UFOs"

I suggest you all look at this. This certifies all knowledge of any ufo/alien existence and these ex government officials have called upon president to disclose the truth.

Don't worry about that link, I know a little bit about these UFOs.

why do their existance always disturb any electronic devices? (my friend asked me)

well ... from what I read ... it's because of their propulsion system. Some of them (the disk shape, or probably the donut shaped UFOs are using a High Specific Impulse Electromagnetic Drive. It does not eject any part of it's mass to achieve acceleration. It's a Solid State Electromagnetic engine. Similar to the one invented by James Taylor.
