    Questions about Crop [email protected]

    Security Label: Signed

    DearThank you for your e-mail message of 24 October concerning extraterrestriallifeforms and Crop Circles. Yourmessage has been passed to this office as we are the focal point within the Ministry of Defence forcorrespondence relating to 'Unidentified flying objects'.First, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence does not have any expertise or role in respect of'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrialli feforms, aboutwhich it remains totally open-minded. I should add that to date the MOD knows of no evidence whichsubstantiates the existence of these alleged phenomena. The MOD examines any reports of 'UFOs' itreceives solely to establish whether what was seen might have some defence significance; namely, whetherthere is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might have been compromised by hostile orunauthorised air activity. Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an externalmilitary source, and to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify theprecise nature of each reported sighting. We believe it is possible that rational explanations, such as aircraftlights or natural phenomena, could be found for them, but it is not the function of the MOD to provide this kindof aerial identification service. We could not justify expenditure of public funds on investigations which gobeyond our specific defence remit.

    Dear ladies and gentlemen,we are two students from Switzerland (Europe) and have to writea termination work about crop circles for university.So we would be grateful! if you could answer these following questions:1: In different books about crop circles (for example in the bookof Michael Hesernann "Die Kornkreis - Chroniken") we read that thereis an army helicopter base in South England, somewhere near Avebury. Can confirm this?2: We also read that in this region often strange light objectswere seen which are brought in connection with crop circles. Allegedlyyou know about them. Is that true. If it is can you give us information?3: What do you think about the Chilbolton crop circles in 2001?4: What is your opinion about extrateresrial life? If it does existis it realistic to believe they could contact us?5: Do you know how we could contact the Chilbolton radiotelescope?6: What is your general opinion about crop circles?

    MinistersFrom:Sent:To: 30 September 2003 14:[email protected]: Please At Least Give this a few minutes of yourTo whom it may concern,I'm writing to you because i have spent the last 10 years of my life searching for answers. It started with books, and tvshows, and then i discovered the internet. And over the last 5 years i have collected data, pictures, videos and documentspurtaining to this subject. The reason i started looking is because i am a multiple abductee. The only person i havespoken openly about this subject with is my uncle, who secreted to me that he had once, worked with a orginization within the raf, for the investigation of UFOS, and other aerial phenomena. All that he would tell me is that i was on the righttrack, thus i started my own investigations. Not because i want to expose any truths, but to find my own answers. As ihave seen UFOs many times, and have been abducted on more than one occasion, although i have vague memorys ofwhat has happened to me. I know this much, they have tested on me, to what ends i am unsure of, and who they are i amunsure of. But in my recent inves! tigations (which i might add have been extremely successful) i have discovered bylogical reasoning that:A, The craft and occupants that continue to take me are extra terrestrial in origin.B, The craft and occupants that continue to take me are terrestrial in origin.

    Yes i know what you may be thinking right now, another UFO nut. Wrong, i have pictures of what could be described asET, and documents and videos. I also have documents that date back to 1922 and pictures, that depict craft of the samedescription as those in many UFO reports as being built by German scientists, carrying on till the end of 1945. No doubtthe words VRIL, Haunebu, and Schumann SM-Levitator, have some meaning to you. Seeing as the

    t~S-LA OpsPol1Subject: Information on UFOs

    Dear~Thank you for your e-mail of 4 September, in which you requested information about UFO incidents. I apologise fornot responding sooner, but I have just returned from leave.The Ministry of Defence released the papers we hold on the alleged UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest as part ofour Freedom of Information Publication Scheme in November 2002. These can be found at www.foLmod.uk. Asearch under Rendlesham Forest will take you directly to these documents. A search under UFO will also show youthe other two classes of information on UFOs included in the Scheme.With regard to your request for information on "UFOs around Newport in June-July 1,986", our records for this periodare not held electronically, but on paper files which are stored in archives outside of London. We have recalled therelevant files and when received I will search them for the information you have requested. In the meantime, as youmay be aware, there is more than one place called Newport in the UK, so I would be grateful if you would inform meof the exact location of interest to you. Also, please could you supply a full address to which any relevant documentscould be sent.Finally, with regard to your comment about a UFO report made to the Ministry of Defence during this period by amember of your family, you may wish to be aware that under the Data Protection Act 1998, the MOD has a duty toprotect personal information concerning individuals who have corresponded with the Department. This means thatwhile we will be happy to supply you with a copy of any UFO reports received by MOD which are relevant to yourrequest, personal data such as, names, addresses, telephone numbers etc will be removed.I hope this is helpful.

    Dear Sir Peter Squire,It is primarily because of the sinister actions bya surveillance team, be it MI5or Special Branch, which prompted a recent Investigatory Powers Tribunal that Ihaveventured to forward papers, which I hope,will be of interest.For some considerable time I have actively followed and investigated a seriesof inexplicable events that have taken place in Central Scotland, Fife region inparticular.The activity began in 1977 and continued on what seemed a regular 'programme'.In 1979/8CJ there were apparently several satellite missile 'War alerts' and analleged attack on a forestry worker in Lothian region.In 1982 a document of the situation was formulated and forwarded toDetective Sergea Livingston, the precinct headquarters of Lothian

  • 8/7/2019 UFO files from the UK government; DEFE 24/2038

    43/136

    Considerable documentation of the unexplained aerial activity in CentralScotland has been amassed and in conclusion I suspect it not to be of naturalphenomenon.A considerable time ago at Los Alamos the Americans noted the arrival ofnumerous similar 'green fireballs' and deployed a team of scientists and militaryexperts~Ooctor_ an eminent scientist was to state that in his opinion themysterious activitywas not of natural phenomenon.

    The CIA would seem to have an interest in what the media assume is ForthVillage but I suspect it may actually be the whole of Forth region which may includeLothian's and Fife.The Americans may also havean interest inthe aerial activity inCentral Scotland.

    As I have also observed an iridescent object leave a hillside and rapidly riseinto cloud cover, is it possible that police officers in central Scottish region andmembers of the armed forces may in fact be observing and investigating airspaceintrusion by some inexplicable form of controlled or targeted objects, a situationthat I suspect would merit concern.Yours sincerely,

    The Forth Protocol!If we are to accept eyewitness reports the mysteriousiridescent or fiery objects observed over a number of yearsmay be nearer the earth's surface than is imagined atpresent.The arrival times are similar and if we plot the apparent flightpaths a pattern will be seen to emerge. If the objects wereactually targeted towards particular sites then it would not bea natural phenomenon that we are actually observing.It could be suggested that some undetermined form ofcontrolled or piloted vehicles are entering the airspace ofCentral Scottish Region.

    &IMystery .fireballover Fife

    Amystery "ball of fire" sighted over Fife at teatime last night led to dozens of reportspouring into'R.A.F. Leuchars suggesting that an aircraft had exploded in the air.Some observers, however, thought the "orange ball" had been a U.F.O. while others

    speculated that it had been a meteorite.The majority of the sightings came from theLadybank and Cupar area but there were reports ofsightings from as far apart as Dundee, Largo,Glenrothes, Arbroath and Carnoustie.

    A spokesman at R.A.F.Leuchars said, "Nearly all thereports we received spoke of awhite trail of smoke such as yOUwould normally see from' anaircraft, which turned black andfinally exploded."Some said there was a ball offire and others spoke of a brightlight."The report we attached mostcredence to came from a personin Ladybank who said he hadseen it bright flash in the skyfollowed by a bang.

    "The Nimrod' was released. when cloud cover prevented it .from being effective."The helicopter was also even-

    tually recalled."0isappeared"Clark Wotherspoon, a 22-year-old labourer of 8Victoria Street,Ladybank, was .driving homefrom' work when he saw the,explosion inthe sky near. Glen-burnie."I do a lot of shooting," said

    going on at seven although somewere drifting away."The .light in the -sky onlylasted for about five secondsbut it - was really a weirdexperience.""Low and fast"Mrs Grace McKay. 24 Gram-pian Gardens. Arbroath, re-ported seeing a ball' of firetravelling "very low and fast"in the sky just before 5 p.m.She called her husbandthrough to see the object andthey watched it until it vanishedas suddenly as it appeared.Both agreed it was travellingtoo fast for an aircraft.Fife Fire Brigade .reported

    The airport confirmed thatnone of their planes was in theLadybank area at the time of thereported "crash."Fife police also receivedemergency calls. .

    {Authors Note,I had observed this activityfrom a vantage point andlater returned to the hillsideafter the search was calledoff and all air activity hadceased.

    2005 by the Freedom ofInformation Act 2000.Finally, as for your particular requests for documents and correspondence about sightings in mid-Wales, from air-traffic controllers, pilots and Police officers and, the incident in Brecon, you havenot stated any dates or a period in which you are interested. I should therefore inform you thatour records are not kept in order of location or categorised by those making the report, but filed inthe order in which they are received. This means that to supply information in all thesecategories, across all the files we hold, would involve a manual search of over 200 files, coveringa 30 year period. Clearly this is not practical and any such request is likely to be refused underExemption 9 of the Code (voluminous or vexatious request). Ifhowever, you wish to refine yourrequest I should be happy to consider what information we could make available.I hope this is helpful.

    Yours sincerely,

Weall watched them and it was just like watching fireworks on bonfire night."Another employee said: "It was like a Steven Spielberg movie - there were red, goldand yellow balls - then along came the silver ones.
