Britain shuts down UFO Sightings Investigation Unit

By Assam News on December 7, 2009 at 1:38 am

The Ministry of Defence in Britain has announced that it would no longer be investigating UFO sightings. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) chiefs made the decision to close the £50,000 a year department after deciding there was no benefit investigating sightings which were "an inappropriate use of defence resources".

UFO The MoD department which has dealt with more than 12,000 Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) reports, including 135 last year, is closing after 60 years. The MoD said it had received thousands of reports, but none revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the UK or substantial proof of the existence of extra-terrestrials or aliens. So, better it should be shut down.

"The MOD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life," a MoD spokesman said. "The MOD has no specific capability for identifying the nature of such sightings."

The decision comes after the team was moved from the MoD’s Whitehall Headquarters to RAF Command in High Wycombe, Bucks. After an application under the Freedom of Information Act, the MoD admitted that responding to every UFO sightings "diverts MoD resources from tasks that are relevant to Defence".
