Britain releases batch of files on UFO sightings 5/13/08

LONDON (AP) - The men were air traffic controllers. Experienced, calm professionals. Nobody was drinking. But they were so worried about losing their jobs that they demanded their names be kept off the official report.

No one, they knew, would believe their claim an unidentified flying object landed at the airport they were overseeing in the east of England, touched down briefly, then took off again at tremendous speed. Yet that's what they reported happened at 4 p.m. on April 19, 1984.

The incident is one of hundreds of reported sightings contained in more than 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents being released Wednesday by Britain's National Archives. It is one of the few that was never explained.

The air traffic controllers' "Report of Unusual Aerial Phenomenon" was filed from an unspecified small airport near the eastern coast of England.

The men, each with more than eight years on the job, described how they were helping guide a small plane to a landing on runway 22 when they were distracted by a brightly lit object approaching a different runway without clearance.

"Everyone became aware that the object was unidentified," their report said. "SATCO (code name for a controller with 14 years experience) reports that the object came in 'at speed,' made a touch and go on runway 27, then departed at 'terrific speed' in a 'near vertical' climb."

Could be the reason the Vatican made their announcement
You will see more and more announcements in the coming months

Like I said UN and countries around the world want policies on how to deal with extraterrestials

The Secrecy is coming to an end and its not voluntary They are being made too

FRANCE MADE THEIR FILES accesible to the people Now Britain has followed and the Vatican announcement

6. "The Secrecy coming to an end is not voluntary They are being made too"?
Just curious if you can expound on this a little? Do you mean "made to" by the aliens,
or by the Illuminati or both/and ... or maybe by the fact that too many people already
know to keep it "secret" anymore?

I was just not sure of your meaning. FYI - this is a serious inquiry, not trying to be
snarky..

12. Well the rumour is that Japan and other countries of the UN
India and japan have just put up lunar satellites as well as China
this is a new turn of events before Russia and US were the only players in Space

but Japan's Parliament want policies on ET's
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JD8Rm4sgILg

as a result the UN has had secret sessions with US Airforce commanders on how to handle the situation
and with the other countries on how to inform the public because it has been said that the ET's told the government that to get the public ready or they will do it for them with a major event. They are worried about the Earth's health and are upset. The governments have been warned and given time frame,

And from these News articles I can see a slow pattern of this agenda going forward

I'm not sure of this rumour was real but watching the process going on its looking like this maybe a possiblity

take it for what its worth
I'm sure there will be people who say I'm nutsoid
I've heard it before
:tinfoil:

14. Gracias..
I appreciate your taking the time to respond with more detail.

I've' always kept a pretty open mind around the UFO stuff, as there's just too much
accumulated evidence to write it off as "tinfoil" hats.

I hope these ETs are aa benevolent as these rumors seem to indicate... that they're
basically wanting to save us ... from OURSELVES no less?

18. Stephenville Texas was just another of many to come
Here is the article by Japan's review news concerning need for UFO policy

http://www.peaceinspace.net/

Defense Minister troubled over legal issues if UFO arrives

Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba said Thursday that he was troubled over potential legal issues if a UFO arrives in Japan, requiring action by the Self-Defense Forces, Japanese media reports.

The subject was triggered by a question from oppositional lawmaker Ryuji Yamane, who argued the government should attempt to confirm what UFOs are because of “frequent observations” of them in Japan.

“There are no grounds for us to deny that there are unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and some life-form that controls them,” Ishiba said at a news conference. “Various possibilities should be considered.“

Ishiba noted that in the classical Godzilla movies, Japan deployed its military against the monster. “Few discussions have been made on what the legal grounds were for that,” the minister said, drawing laughter from reporters, according to an AFP report.

Ishiba said it would be difficult to determine on what legal grounds the Self-Defense Forces could be mobilized if a UFO violating Japanese airspace is not hostile.

this article came out in December 2007

and here is a BBC article

UFOs exist, says Japan official

apan's chief government spokesman has announced that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) exist.

Earlier, in response to a question from an opposition lawmaker, the Japanese government issued a statement saying it could not confirm any cases of UFOs.

But Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura later told reporters he believed they were "definitely" real.

20. Here is the Present UN policy on UFO's enacted in 1978
but Japan and other nations want the policy changed to fit the present times

United Nations General Assembly Decision 33/426 (1978)



33/426. Establishment of an agency or a department of the United Nations for undertaking, co-ordinating and disseminating the results of research into unidentified flying objects and related phenomena

At its 87th plenary meeting, on 18 December 1978, the General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Special Political Committee adopted the following text as representing the consensus of the members of the Assembly:

"1. The General Assembly has taken note of the statements made, and draft resolutions submitted, by Grenada at the thirty-second and thirty-third sessions of the General Assembly regarding unidentified flying objects and related phenomena.

"2. the General Assembly invites interested Member States to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to inform the Secretary-General of the observations, research and evaluation of such activities.

"3. The General Assembly requests the Secretary-general to transmit the statements of the delegation of Grenada and the relevant documentation to the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, so that it may consider them at its session in 1979.

"4. The Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space will permit Grenada, upon its request, to present its views to the Committee at its session in 1979. the committee's deliberation will be included in its report which will be considered by the General Assembly at its thirty-fourth session."

Japan wants the policy updated as other nations because this is outdated

7. The best fun is reading the transcripts of the House of Lords
discussions. Lessons on how to call someone a complete dunderhead while still maintaining excruciatingly polite form!

(Actually, what's cool is that the National Archives has made them available for download for free - for the next 30 days. It's fairly rare for them to do that. If they'd digitise my research materials I'd be in seventh heaven!)

if there is nothing to hide.

10. let the ufos be ufos don't think they've hurt anyone yet to my knowledge more
they're ufos because they want to be ufos. Maybe in time they'll figure out how to communicate on an understanding level with us and the other way around as well.

19. Most people do not believe that this planet is being visited
by beings from other Planets. So far, no proof has been offered of such visits.

21. The vatican's chief astronomer says that Aliens are possible
Edited on Wed May-14-08 09:23 PM by lovuian
and though we may have no proof as yet Japan thinks that since it is possible a policy should be developed

its like the Boy Scouts be prepared

Do you deny the possibility of intelligent life is out in the universe?

if you do then that is a possiblity then the status quo is fine but other very learned men and women believe there just might be

we are definitely sending out probes looking for them and think we should be prepared
