That's not a UFO; rather, you're delusional from watching the X-Files

LONDON (Reuters) – A cluster of UFO sightings over Britain in 1996 may have had more to do with public fascination with TV shows like the “X Files” than extraterrestrial activity, according to files released by the National Archives on Monday.

According toe Reuters, “Documents from Britain’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) indicated there were 609 UFO sightings in 1996, compared with 117 in 1995. This coincided with the rise in popularity of the X Files and the release of the alien blockbuster film Independence Day.”

“The files also add a new detail on Britain’s best known UFO incident, the Rendlesham Forest sightings of December 1980 in which American airforce men saw a series of mysterious lights,” reports Reuters.


Despite most cases having a mundane reason behind them, some 10 percent were classed as “unexplained.”

Paranormal Daily News: I’d like to believe the public is intelligent enough to differentiate what they saw in a movie versus a real life UFO.
