They nicked my dog and tent ...

OK it's Friday ...

The Ministry of Defence closed its UFO desk because it served "no defence purpose" and was taking staff away from "more valuable defence-related activities", newly released files show.
4,400 pages of documents have been released ...

But my particular favourites ...

A report received via the UFO hotline by someone who had been "living with an alien" in Carlisle for some time

A UFO seen hovering near the Houses of Parliament

A report from a man from Cardiff who claimed a UFO abducted his dog, and took his car and tent, while he was camping with friends in 2007

An account from a retired RAF Flight lieutenant who witnessed the tracking of a UFO on airfield radar at RAF Lyneham - a phenomena also sighted visually by two airmen on the ground

BBC News MOD UFO Desk

National Archives

Best ...

Coff.

PS ... Does anyone remember the 70's Zap "UFO's are REAL it's the RAF that's a Hallucination" ... some kind chap stuck one in my SD Cap on the wax lining ... never did get the bloody thing off

Best one I heard..... "Aliens turned my son into a frozen fish finger".

Of course they did ma'am, of course they did.

I always wondered if you could get a desk job reading wacko hippy reports of shape shifting reptilians fighting time traveling nazis on the moon. Must be an amusing posting.

Saw something the other day - Guido Fawkes blog possibly - about a councillor somewhere who claimed to have fathered a "love child" with an alien. Apparently his wife didn't object as the "other woman" was not human (or real, one suspects).

And he is representing voters somewhere??? Will try and find a link.

Found it! Simon Parkes, a Labour councillor in Whitby. Details here!

In a village on the west coast of France near Bordeaux there is a plaque placed by order of the Maire and Council in about 1976 designating the spot as the place where visitors from outer space were to be welcomed.

The village is Ares, the link here

Funnily enough the French, under CNES ( the French Space Agency) fund a cell called GEIPAN to study the UAP phenomenon. Its missions are:

A Scientific attempt to explain strange reported phenomena, response of the French state to questions from the public and analysis of possible risks for Defence.

It does this by:
Collecting UFO sighting reports in France, analyzing collected data to possibly explain them, archiving the sighting reports and informing the public.

Note that it is not under the Defence Ministry.

I remember the hours wasted while sitting at the Ops desk in HQ1Gp Bawtry, taking down details from these loons.

All that was missing from their phone calls was the sound of banjos in the background.

I suspect a surfit of Brains here, not in his skull but down his neck. Makes a change to have a skull attack instead of an anal probe.

"So what did you do?"

"Well, after all, a fish finger is a fish finger and it was defrosting......shame to waste it!"

Coming here and taking the mans tent is crossing the line.

I never knew aliens were into camping.

Isn't that a photo of 2 locals near Marham? Or do the locals have webbed feet and 6 fingers?

What I have never understood about all these reports... Out every location in the world the aliens could have gone to, from the exotic and beautiful to the scientifically interesting, why would they have travelled all that way to a field near Cardiff? And out of every person in the world they could have met, from world leaders to leading scientists to remarkable people like the Gandhi, why would they have travelled all that way to meet to some random bloke who's out camping with his dog?

I saw one article where a man was allegedly abducted, the aliens took one look at him and then threw him back out on medical grounds. It must be gutting to be rejected even by alien body snatchers.

Some nutter reckoned after he was abducted from his bedroom, the aliens returned him outside of his house when all the doors were locked from the inside.

Come on gr4techie you are being a wee bit too harsh there fella. I used to find myself outside the house with doors all locked from the inside - usually on my way back from Friday happyhour! Never once claimed the alien abduction defence - damm!

Coff,

I had a great big badge, I used to wear to open days etc, that read " UFO's are real, the RAF is an Hallucination". For the first year of my tour as a Herk GE it went unnoticed on my grow bag. I had the great pleasure of meeting a Squadron Leader, VC10 Captain, at Dulles in year 2, whilst in the 24th hour of my continuous operation, who took great exception to this, and ordered me to remove it, along with the hat that was protecting my head from sunburn. I hesitate to suggest that VC10 Captains are a bit "up themselves", but, to get so "holier than thou" about a badge was a bit pedantic.

You mean someone actually ordered you to remove non-military badges from your military clothing? Shock, horror...

On 101, when down route, our groundcrew wore uniform, squadron pattern flying coveralls and always looked pretty smart. They did not wear any stupid, unofficial badges and were true ambassadors for the squadron and the Service.
