Britain's Ministry of Defense to release UFO files Great Britain's Ministry Of Defense has announced that they plan to release their UFO files to the public, seven weeks after France's space agency, CNES, opened its UFO files to the public, on March 22, 2007. The ministry has not decided when these files will be made public, but confirmed that it would be happening within the upcoming weeks. The files will include UFO sightings from civilians, pilots, and military personnel dating back to 1967. David Clarke, a journalism lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University and author of Flying Saucerers: A Social History of UFOlogy expressed delight upon hearing the news: "The more of this stuff that they put on their website or put in the national archives, the less it will cost the taxpayer, because at the moment people are writing in about individual incidents and they are having to respond."
The files will include the famous December, 1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident, also called Britain's Roswell after the Roswell UFO incident that occurred in the United States in 1947. At Rendlesham Forest, witnesses apparantly witnessed a UFO landing, and there have been claims that measurable radiation was left behind.
The documents scheduled to be released include witness reports of UFO sightings, some by civilian and military pilots. These documents will include those collected and filed by DI55, a small and secretive unit within British defense intelligence. In all, 24 files are scheduled to be released, with each containing over 200 reports of sightings.
