Suprised the signal didn't roll out of the MOD printer and drop straight into the bin.

why just flirt around surreptitiously and nick a tent and a dog
Perhaps they thought that it was a pup tent?

From the woman who claims she gets abducted every time she eats KFC and aliens keep on hiding her packet of fags when she leaves them laying around, to the councillor who is obsessed with drawing aliens and claims he has an alien mum, who provided him emotional support unlike his alcoholic mother and he regularly meets up with an alien shaped like a cat for sex. With this councillor, I think it explains the calibre of some of the politicians we have slipping through today.

Also the programme speaks volumes about the conn artists who prey on these deluded people.

UFO?

Some years ago, I was flying a B737 from Nanjing to Hong Kong.
Somewhere near Hangchou, both the F/O and myself saw numerous silver coloured spheres at constant size and constant bearing in the 1 o'clock high position. They remained there until obscured by some cloud. When clear of cloud, they were no longer there. We reported this sighting to ATC, but in those days of HF radio in airways, in Chinese airspace, this was a fruitless exercise. I subsequently reported the matter back in Hong Kong, but no-one gave it much credence. "Unknown" seems a reasonable summary of the experience .

Saw this going through the Lichfield Corridor at FL180 once - staying in perfect formation with our Tornado...



...took us about 5 minutes to work out what it was. Basically, there was a layer of ice crystals reflecting the sun. It certainly made the hair on the back of neck stick up for a bit - it's funny what your eyes and brain will have you believe!

I saw this encounter on another forum and had to share...

"Well I was driving around Middlesbrough when suddenly I saw lights flying across my screen. I stopped the car and heard a voice telling me to walk towards the light.

It was the police. I somehow ended up in a red light area.

They didn't believe me that aliens had stolen my pants and put 2 prozzies in the boot..."

Just a thought, but for all those loons and muppets who see UFOs everywhere there is that very small, tiny percentage of unexplainable cases, sometimes involving radar traces and corresponding visual observations from aircrew, with unknown aircraft capable of outrunning and outflying the latest military technology.

Add to that the thought that if just one alien abduction case happens to be true, with a person being taken and abused by representatives of a foreign (alien) power, then with those beings' seeming contempt for mankind and the technology at their disposal, planet earth's natives could be in for a hell of a shock one day.

Or to put it another way, history has shown many times that when a civilization comes into contact with a more advanced power, they generally don't come out of it very well. Just ask the Aztecs or Native Americans or Aborigines.

As I said, just a thought.

MTM,

As a radar technician. Those radar trace can be accounted for by clutter, weather, interference or just the hardware playing up having a hissy fit. I'm sure there is many Tonka Navs out there who can vouch that radar can be temperamental.

The problem with peoples accounts is that people do not always report what is real. People are hoaxers, liars, hallucinating, mischievous, insane or just genuinely mistaken.

Anyways having had a flick through the National Archives stuff, the powers that be are just not interested and wont waste taxpayers money or resources on identification or invest, it's just not worth it when we have better thing to do. The powers that be are only interested in overflights by the Russian Airforce.

Just for the record - The only time I have had an actual half attempted violation was on a stag weekend about 15 years ago with 2 foreign ladies whom I met in the taxi queue. Back at their flat one tried to do something unsavoury with her digit and the rendezvous was terminated and immediate ex-fil was innitiated. Whilst she was an 'alien' in the foreign sense, she was certainly not interplanetary!

Of course , there was always the chance whilst sharing a room with a Jag mate in KAF, but the rohypnol meant that I had no recollection!

Leon, I have managed to find the CCTV images of the taxi queue to back up your story.
