UK Government Closes UFO Hotline

Posted by majestic on December 4, 2009

From News:lite (thanks to @Neo5842):

It is a disappearance almost worthy of Mulder and Scully. After almost 60 years investigating the UFO threat over Britain – the MoD ‘X Files’ bureau has been axed.

Earlier this week the UK Ministry of Defence quietly cut their hotline for members of the public to report UFO sightings.

And it wasn’t because no-one was calling – the line has received more than 12,000 UFO and alien reports since it was launched in 1950, including 135 last year.

The reports were all investigated and despite the MoD admitting that five percent could not be explained, they say they do not think they are worth investigating any more.

    Wow, that is not fishy at all. "There is something in our skies that we admit is inexplicable. We've decided to stop trying to figure it out. It couldn't possibly be a military threat or of any scientific value. Perhaps Britain's Got Talent could use the number?"
