“The Ministry of Defence had agreed to publish its full archive of reported sightings in response to a deluge of Freedom of Information Act requests – But the once-secret memo, published on its website, reveals “uncomplimentary comments” were edited out,” reports the BBC.
“Comments on international relations and defence technology were also deleted – Thousands of pages from the department’s UFO files have been released through the National Archives since 2008, revealing details of reported flying objects and encounters with aliens,” reports the BBC. “The newly released memo to ministers and defence chiefs, dated September 2007, discusses how to make the largely “low security classification” information public.”
“It notes they “include references to air defence matters, defence technology, relations with foreign powers and occasional uncomplimentary comments by staff or police officers about members of the public, which will need to be withheld in accordance with FoI principles.” The Ministry of Defence (MoD) recorded UFO sightings from the end of the Second World War until it shut its special investigation unit on 1 December last year,” reports the BBC.
“Officials feared publishing only part of the information would “fuel accusations of a ‘cover-up‘,” the document reveals.”
