UFOs in the U.K.

Filling in for Art Bell, George Noory welcomed the former leader of the British Government's UFO Project, Nick Pope, for a discussion on UFO cases and disclosure. The Ministry of Defence, which has been studying UFOs since 1950, is preparing to release previously classified UFO files in three phases, Pope reported.

Freedom of Information requests have already led to the release of material on the UK's most famous UFO case-- the Rendlesham Forest Incident, which took place over a series of nights in 1980 (selected documents can be viewed here). Indentations in the ground left by the craft were found to have high levels of radiation as well as nearby tree branches, he detailed.

Pope also reviewed the Cosford Incident, in which sightings took place over an Air Force Base on March 30, 1993. Military personnel reported seeing a large triangular-shaped craft fire a narrow beam of light into a field, as though it was looking for something. A low frequency humming was heard, and a witness said the craft, which had been moving slowly, suddenly shot away at a high rate of speed. Pope announced that he was recently booked to appear at the upcoming X-Conference in Washington, D.C., this September.
