Question: Hi, and greetings.I am writing regarding the rash of UFOsightings, I have seen a similar thing in Homsey a few years ago. Iwould like some questions asked of the Government, specifically what istheir position on these occurrances, have they ever hidden evidence fromthe public, and has there ever been any official contact. Its time thisissue was taken seriously, and the best way to slay paranoia is to dealwith issues openly. What would it take to get you or somebody to asksuch questions in the house? Many thanks for your attention.

Thank you for your letter of 14 July (ref: ) on behalf of your 1 " , . , .1 " 1 , . , . . . . , . . ., of
Haringey, London.
Firstly, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence has no expertise or role in
respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of
extraterrestrial life forms, about which it remains totally open-minded. The MOD
examines any reports of sightings solely to establish whether what was seen might have
some defence significance. The MOD's only concern therefore, is to establish whether
there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might have been compromised
by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity. The MOD is not aware of any official
contact with extraterrestrial life.
Before 1967 aIlIUFO" files were destroyed after five years, as there was insufficient
public interest in the subject to merit their permanent retention. However since 1967,
following an increase in public interest in this subject, "UFO" report files are now routinely
preserved. Directorate of Air Staff files for 1967 to 1984, and any files prior to 1967 which
did survive, are now available for examination at The National Archives, Ruskin Avenue,
Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU, Telephone: 02088763444. Details of how to access
these records and The National Archives on line catalogue can be found on their website
at http//:www.nationalarchives.gov.uk.
The Directorate of Air Staff which collates all UFO sighting reports received by the MOD,
has records of alleged UFO sightings dating back to 1984 whilst the Defence Intelligence

Staff has a smaller number of files dating back to the late 1970s. The MOD has recently
begun a programme to transfer some 160 of these files to The National Archives where
they will be available to view by the general public over the internet. The first eight files
were transferred electronically in May of this year.
~ay also be interested to know that details of UFO sightings for the period 1997-
2007 are already available for viewing on the MOD website, www.mod.uk, by searching
under the phrase UFO reports.
I hope this is helpful.

Thank you for your letter of 14 July (ref: ) on behalf of your constituent
of Burton upon Trent.
Firstly, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence has no expertise or role in
respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of
extraterrestrial life forms, about which it remains totally open-minded. The MOD
examines any reports of sightings solely to establish whether what was seen might have
some defence significance. The MOD's only concern therefore, is to establish whether
there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might have been compromised
by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity.
Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external
military source, and to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not
attempt to identify the precise nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that
rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for
them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but it is not the function of the MOD to
provide this kind of aerial identification service. It would be an inappropriate use of
defence resources if we were to do so.
I am sorry of could not be of more help.

Dear Des
I ani Writing on behalf of my constituent, _ who recently contacted my·
office for advice.
Inbriet;_and her family were driving through Branston on the outskirts of
Burton at 11.3Opm on Saturday 28th June when they noticed orange lights in the sky.
At first they thought there was nothing unusual, but on further observation, noticed
that the lights were moving in a manner that would have been impossible for a
conventional aircraft.
My constituent explained that she saw quite a few people outside in the town, also
clearly watching these lights. When she and her family returned home, ~
rang the police and described what they had seen. She was allegedly adVlSfe
police had received quite a few calls from other people who had had the same
experience.
_would like to know if there is a rational explanation for what she and her
family saw. I would very much welcome any advice you can provide and look
forward to hearing from you indue course.

Subject: Release-authorised: UNIDENTIFIED FLYINGOBJECTS T003112/2008
Thank you for your e-mail to Secretary of State for Defence, Des Browne, regarding your research
into Extra Terrestrials. Ithas been passed to this office to answer as we have responsibility for this
subject.
Despite what many people think, the MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of
'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial
lifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded. I should add that to date the MoD knows of
no evidence which substantiates the existence of these alleged phenomena. The MoD examines any
reports of 'unidentified flying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might
have some defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom'sairspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity.
Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external military
source, and to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the
precise nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft
lights or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but
it is not the function of the MOD to provide this kind of aerial identification service. Itwould be an
inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so.
I hope this explains the MoD position.

treated under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, even if the Act is not
specifically mentioned. In general, if you meet the Department's 15 working day deadline
and respond fully to the request for information, then there is no need to follow the full
procedures for FOI requests. However, you will still need to acknowledge that you have
applied the Act and provide details of their right of appeal (see link below). If the
correspondence requests information which is not already in the public domain, and
particularly if you considering withholding information, then you should formally treat it as
a FOI request. The correspondence should be logged on the Access to Information toolkit
and you should consult and comply with the separate FOI guidance from DG Info. Note, the
shorter deadline for responding to Ministerial and Treat Official correspondence will still
apply. If you are in any doubt as to whether a piece of correspondence should be treated
as an FOI request, you should ask your FOI Focal Point or refer to the guidance producedby DG Info. (See the guidance at
http://defenceintranet.diiweb.r.mil.uk/DefenceIntranet/Admin/RespondToRequestsForlnformatic
Its important that branches ensure they have simple systems to track
correspondence received from members of the public, though the Parliamentary

Subject: Release-authorised: UFO IMAGE - T00299S/200S
Dear Chris,
Thank you for your e-mail to Secretary of State for Defence, Des Browne, regarding an
image of an Unidentified Flying Object that you have put up for sale on e-bay. Ithas been passed to
this office to answer as we have responsibility for this subject.
Despite what many people think, the MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of
'UFOlflying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial
lifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded. I should add that to date the MoD knows of
no evidence which substantiates the existence of these alleged phenomena. The MoD examines anyreports of 'unidentified flying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might
have some defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's
airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity.
Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external military
source, and to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the
precise nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft
lights or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but
it is not the function of the MOD to provide this kind of aerial identification service. Itwould be an
inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so. Further more, it is not MoD policy to
purchase material regarding UFOs from members of the public.
I hope this explains the MoD position.
Yours sincerely,

Thank you for your e-mail of 13 May 2008 to Secretary of State for Defence, Des Browne. Ithas
been passed to this office to answer as we are the branch with responsibility for UFO matters within
the MOD.
First, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence examines any reports of
'unidentified flying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might have some
defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace
might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity. Unless there is evidence of apotential threat to the United Kingdom from an external source, and to date no 'UFO' report has
revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the precise nature of each sighting reported to
us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be
found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but it is not the function of the MOD to
provide this kind of aerial identification service. It would be an inappropriate use of defence
resources if we were to do so.
The MOD does not have any expertise or role in respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters or the
question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life forms, about which it remains totally
open-minded. I should add that to date, the MOD knows of no evidence which substantiates the
existence of these alleged phenomena.
You may wish to be aware that the MOD has already released a great deal of information about
UFOs which is available for public viewing. MOD files were routinely destroyed after five years
until 1967 when they were generally preserved for The National Archives. A few have survived
before 1967 and these together with records up to 1986-87 are now available for public viewing. We
have also just announced that we will be releasing some 160 of our UFO files covering the late
1970s to 2007 over the next 3 years which will be available at The National Archives, who can be
contacted at Ruskin Avenue, Richmond, Kew, Surrey TW9 4DU or telephone, 020 8876 3444. The
National Archives also have a website giving information about the records they hold and how to
access them. This can be found on the internet at: http;!!www.natiQllalarchivcs.gQv.uk. The Ministryof Defence Freedom of Information website also contains some released information on UFOs. This
can be accessed the internet at:http.:/lwww,mod ..uk/DcfcncclntcrnctlFrccdQmQtlnfhrmatinn!PubIica.tiQuScbeme, by searching underUFO reports.
I hope this is helpful.

Subject: Release-authorised: UNGA 33/426 (1978) - TREAT OFFICIAL 01999/2008
Dear Mr McDonald and Dr Salla,
Thank you for your letter of 15 March 2008 to the Prime Minister regarding the
implementation of United Nations General Assembly decision 33/426 of 1978. Ithas been passed to
this branch to answer as we have the lead on UFO matters for the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
First, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence examines any reports of
'unidentified flying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might have some
defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace
might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity. Unless there is evidence of apotential threat to the United Kingdom from an external source, and to date no 'UFO' report has
revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the precise nature of each sighting reported to
us. We believe. that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be
found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but it is not the function of the MOD to
provide this kind of aerial identification service. It would be an inappropriate use of defence
resources if we were to do so.
The UK does not intend to take a pro-active stance in the UN given its limited interest in this matter.
You may be interested to know that the MOD has made a commitment to transfer some 160 files
dating back to the late 1970s to 2007 to The National Archives. The files are from both Defence
Intelligence Staff and the Directorate of Air Staff, which is the lead branch on UFO matters across
the MoD. The transfer programme will take place in chronological order and will take some three
years to complete. Itis due to commence shortly. Once they are transferred, the files will be
available for viewing on The National Archives website. You may also be interested to know that the
MOD has already released a considerable amount of information regarding UFOs on its own website
www.mod.uk, including details of UFO sightings for the period 1997-2007.
I hope this explains our position.
Yours sincerely,

• You queried whether UNGA Decision 33/426 is binding upon member states. GA decisions are
generally used for procedural matters, whereas resolutions normally deal with matters of substance.
Neither is binding on Member States. If anything, insofar as their impact on Member States areconcerned, GA decisions have even less weight than GA resolutions, though it isn't set out anywhere interms and I doubt we'd want to say that in a letter to an MOP. (Of course, GA decisions can be bindingon the UN itself, e.g. senior appointments in the funds and programmes). The terms of GA Decision
33/426 are extremely weak. A GA decision which "invites interested Member States to takeappropriate steps" to do something is almost as weak as you get.
• We have made a slight change to the reply, which we are otherwise happy with. NB: If pressed, or if a
PO etc, we could say that 'we do not consider the steps being proposed to be appropriate given our
limited interest in this issue', and that 'the GA decision is non-binding'. However, as it is a MoP letter,we see no need to explain this unless pressed. We feel the following line (see tracked changes in
attached document) will suffice: The UK does not intend to take a pro-active stance in the UN
given its limited interest in this matter.
Hope that's helpful.

The Prime Minister has received the attached correspondence from a member of the public,which this office has neither retained nor acknowledged. Please send a reply on behalf ofthe PM/Minister/Department.
Ministers attach great importance to correspondence being answered promptly, and yourreply should be sent within 15 working days of the date of this message. If,exceptionally, this should prove impossible, an interim reply should be sent within thesame timescale. You should be aware that No 10 periodically calls for a sample of letterssent by officials on the PM's behalf for his perusal.
If correspondence includes a specific request for recorded information then it should betreated under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, even if the Act is not
specifically mentioned. In general, if you meet the Department's 15 working day deadlineand respond fully to the request for information, then there is no need to follow the fullprocedures for FOI requests. However, you will still need to acknowledge that you haveapplied the Act and provide details of their right of appeal (see link below). If thecorrespondence requests information which is not already in the public domain, andparticularly if you considering withholding information, then you should formally treat it asa FOI request. The correspondence should be logged on the Access to Information toolkitand you should consult and comply with the separate FOI guidance from DG Info. Note, theshorter deadline for responding to Ministerial and Treat Official correspondence will stillapply. If you are in any doubt as to whether a piece of correspondence should be treated
as an FOI request, you should ask your FOI Focal Point or refer to the guidance producedby DG Info. (See the guidance at

• Dear Mr Salla,
Thank you for your letter of 15March 2008 to the Prime Minister, Gordon
Brown, regarding the implementation of United Nations General Assembly decision 33/426
of 1978. It has been passed to this branch to answer as we have the lead on UFO matters for
the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
First, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence examines any reports of
'unidentified flying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might have
some defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's
airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity. Unless there
is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external source, and to date
no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the precise nature
of each sighting reported to us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights
or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose,
but it is not the function of the MOD to provide this kind of aerial identification service. It
would be an inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so.
The UK Il()es y}oti~l~en(lto_!qke_q pro_-gctive st(JY}c_el1t~e__U N 't~vel1J~YJ~1rIi!e__d__nte__restnt~~~·
matter. You may be interested to know however that the MOD has made a commitment to
transfer some 160 files dating back to the late 1970s to 2007 to The National Archives. The
files are from both Defence Intelligence Staff and the Directorate of Air Staff, which is the
lead branch on UFO matters across the MoD. The transfer programme will take place in
chronological order and will take some three years to complete. It is due to commence
shortly. Once they are transferred, the files will be available for viewing on The National
Archives website. You may also be interested to know that the MOD has already released a
considerable amount of information regarding UFOs·on its own website ..Wl1Il1I.rrtOcl~uk,..
including details of UFO sightings for the period 1997-2007.

First, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has no expertise or
role in respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or
otherwise of extraterrestrial life forms, about which it remains totally open-minded. The
MOD examines any reports of sightings solely to establish whether what was seen
might have some defence.significance. The MOD's only concern therefore, is to
establish whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might have
been compromised by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity.
Before 1967 all IIUFOil files were destroyed after five years, as there was insufficient
public interest in the subject to merit their permanent retention. However since 1967,following an increase in public interest in this subject, "UFO" report files are now
routinely preserved. Any files prior to 1967 which did survive, are now available for
examination at The National Archives, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9
4DU, Telephone: 02088763444. Details of how to access these records and The
National Archives on line catalogue can be found on their website at
http//:www.nationalarchives.gov.uk.
The Directorate of Air Staff which collates all UFO sighting reports received by the MOD,
has records of alleged UFO sightings dating back to 1984 whilst the DefenceIntelligence Staff has a smaller number of files dating back to the late 1970s. The MOD
has recently begun a programme to transfer some 160 of these files to The National
Archives where they will be available to view by the general public over the internet. It is
expected the first few files will be available shortly.

BACKGROUND NOTE
John Hayes has been the Conservative MP for South Holland and The Deepings since May
1997. He regularly raises PQs on a variety of defence related topics, however, this is the first
PQ that he has raised on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) report and we have noindication as to why he has done so.
This PQ relates to the question raised by Norman Baker MP in June 2007 regarding the
distribution of the UAP report, the text of which is as follows:
27 Jun 2007: Column 801W
Unidentified Flying Objects
Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for what reason his Secretariat
(Air Staft)/Defence Secretariat did not receive a copy of the report on Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena produced by the Defence Intelligence Staff; and ifhe will make a statement.
[145883]
Derek Twigg [holding answer 26 June 2007J: The report was distributed to those areas of
the Department who were considered to have most interest in the findings, including parts of
theRAF.
(No further reply was submitted in response to this PQ)
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region study was conducted
between December 1996 and March 2000 to determine whether there was a requirement forthe Defence Intelligence Staff (DI55) to monitor UFO sighting reports by the public and to
also ascertain whether there was any evidence of a threat to the UK and to identify any
potential military technologies of interest. The study concluded that there was no evidence
that any UAP in UK air space were incursions of foreign origin, no potential military
technologies of interest were identified and there was no longer a requirement for the DIS to
monitor UFO sighting reports. As a result ofthe recommendations, the DIS no longer
receives UFO sighting reports and has conducted no further work into the subject ofUAPs.
The report has been the subject of several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and
was subject to a high level of public interest. Following this, an expurgated version of the
report was placed on the internet via the MoD FOI website in May 2006 and can be viewed at
http://www.mod.uklDefenceInternet/FreedomOfInformationiPublicationScheme/SearchPubli
cationSchemelUnidentifiedAerialPhenomenauapInTheUkAirDefenceRegion.htm There are,
therefore, no plans to also place an expurgated copy of the report in the Library.

Dear~
Thank you for your letter to the Prime Minister regarding Unidentified Flying Objects. Ithas been
passed to this office in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as we are the Department responsible for
UFO matters across government.
First; it may be helpful if I explain that the MoD examines any reports of 'unidentified flying
objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might have some defence
significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might
have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity.
Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external source, and
to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the precise
nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights
or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but it
is not the function of the MoD to provide this kind of aerial identification service. Itwould be an
inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so.
The MOD does not have any expertise or role in respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters to the
question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life forms, about which it remains totally
open-minded. I should add that to date, the MoD knows of no evidence which substantiates theexistence of these alleged phenomena.
You may be interested to know that the MoD will be releasing some 160 of our UFO files over
the next three years, starting later this year. These files, which cover policy, sighting reports,
correspondence with the public, Freedom of Information requests and a small number of specific
subjects or incidents, will be placed in the National Archive where they will be available for view
over the internet.
I hope you find this useful
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Release-authorised: RENDLESHAM FOREST T000151/2008
Thank you for your e-mail of 1 January 2008 to Secretary of State for Defence, Des
Browne, it has been passed to this office to answer as we are the branch with responsibility for UFO
matters within the MoD.
When the Ministry of Defence was informed of the events which are alleged to have occurred at
Rendlesham Forest/RAF Woodbridge in December 1980, all available substantiated evidence was
looked at in the usual manner by those within the MODIRAF with responsibility for air defence
matters. The judgement was that there was no indication that a breach of the United Kingdom's airdefences had occurred on the nights in question. As there was no evidence to substantiate an event of
defence concern no further investigation into the matter was necessary. Although a number of
allegations have subsequently been made about these reported events, nothing has emerged over the
last quarter of a century which has given us reason to believe that the original assessment made by
this Department was incorrect. Other than an obligation to respond to questions from the public, the
MoD has no further interest in the subject and considers the matter closed.
The MoD file on the Rendlesham Incident is already in the public domain via our website and will
be included in the general release of 160 UFO files that you mention in your e-mail, which will also
include policy files, correspondence files, sighting report files, Freedom of Information request files
and a small number of files regarding specific incidents or subjects such as alien abduction.

I would like to know what you think of this testimony. If they are telling thetruth, one could assume that we've been visited by Extraterrestrial technologywhether maned or unmanned.
simply releasing a bunch of FOIA UFO Files over the next 3 years isn't enough.The general public isn't as dumb as you and the united States military think.You need to come clean and tell us the truth.
I hope you decide to do so because it's the best policy and we deserve to knowthat we're not alone and that these ET beings are not hostile.
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.

Subject: Release-authorised: MoD Policy on UFOs - T00024/2008
Dear_
Thank you for your e-mail of 31 December 2007 asking for clarification of the
Ministry of Defence's (MoD) policy regarding UFOs particularly concerning military and air force
personnel. Ithas been passed to this branch to answer as we are the focal point for UFO matters
within the MoD.
The MoD document you mention dated 12 April 2007 outlines the MoD position and there is little
that I can add to it. However, from time to time, reports may be received that, in the opinion of staff,
may warrant further investigation. This may be due to a large number of reports occurring on aparticular day, or an unusual pattern of activity or reports. Additionally, the reports could come from
witnesses such as pilots, aircrew, air traffic controllers or policemen. As part of our assessment of
reports this office contacts, as required, the appropriate Departmental air defence experts to see if
they believe the report is of any defence significance and if UK air integrity has been compromised.
To date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence. That having been said, a report from military or
air force personnel would not automatically receive any more attention than one from a member of
the public.
When the Ministry of Defence was informed of the events which are alleged to have occurred at
Rendlesham ForestlRAF Woodbridge in December 1980, all available substantiated evidence was
looked at in the usual manner by those within the MOD/RAF with responsibility for air defencematters. The judgement was that there was no indication that a breach of the United Kingdom's air

defence concern, no further investigation into the matter was necessary. Although a number of
allegations have subsequently been made about these reported events, nothing has emerged over the
last quarter of a century which has given us reason to believe that the original assessment made by
this Department was incorrect.
I hope this is helpful.

This is obviously one of the greatest and much debated
UFO incidents within Great Britain.I have read the documentation and find it very interesting.I was then scanning other UFO related documents. One in particular caught my eyeof recent times.The document was sent on the 12/04/07 regarding UFO sightings over the GrampionRegion. Within this reply was written, i quote, "First, it may be helpful if Iexplain that the Ministry of Defence examines any reports of 'unidentifiedflying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might havesome defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the unitedK in~dom's airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised airactlvity. unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the united Kingdomfrom an external source, and to date no 'UFO' has revealed such evidence,".I found this troubling when recalling the 'Rendlesham' incident of 1980. surelythis was 'unauthorised air activity' and surely this was also a potential threatto united Kingdom Airspace as the UFO was located not far from the RAF
Bentwaters base.I would be grateful if you could give me the MOO'S official policy on reportedUFO incidents especially relating to incidents involving military and airforcepersonell.

Thank you for your e-mail to Des Browne, the Secretary of State for Defence,
regarding the scrambling ofRAF jets to investigate an alleged UFO sighting near Bognor on 4th
October 2007. Ithas been passed to this branch to answer as we have responsibility for this subject.
Additionally, you raised a Freedom of Information request on the same topic. I shall both queries in
the same e-mail.
Firstly, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence examines any reports of'unidentified flying objects' it receives solely to establish whether what was seen might have some
defence significance; namely, whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace
might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity. Unless there is evidence of a
potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external source, and to date no 'UFO' report has
revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify the precise nature of each sighting reported to
us. We believe that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be
found for them if resources were diverted for this purpose, but it is not the function of the MOD to
provide this kind of aerial identification service. It would be an inappropriate use of defence
resources if we were to do so.
Turning to your actual question, I can confirm that no aircraft were launched to investigate thismatter.
If you are unhappy with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect of the handling of
your request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible
and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the
Director ofInformation Exploitation, 6th Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SWIA 2HB (e-
mail [email protected]). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40
working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to an end.
If you remain unhappy following an internal review, you may take your complaint to the Information
Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please notethat the Information Commissioner will not investigate the case until the internal review process has
been completed. Further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be
found on the Commissioner's website, http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk.''

• BACKGROUND NOTE
Norman Baker has been the Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes since May 1997. Mr Baker
tables a prolific number of Parliamentary Questions across Government Departments and has
asked many Defence related questions during the past year. The questions have primarily
focussed on Iraq but have also included Defence Intelligence related questions on the
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) report, the DIS in-house magazine 'The Mole', the
DIS internal exhibition 'Project 21', and the Joint Narcotics Analysis Centre. This latest
question is almost an exact repeat of a question Mr Baker asked in June 07 (PQ03179T) - see
Hansard entry below - and has links to an earlier PQ from March 07 (PQO1844T), also copied
below. On a separate, but related, issue Mr Baker wrote to the Min(AF) in May 2007 on the
UAP report asking him to reconsider his decision not to release the name and qualifications
of the author of the report (MC02961/2007). A reply was sent to Mr Baker on 19 June 07
upholding the earlier decision.
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in the UK Air Defence Region study was
conducted by DIS between December 1996 and March 2000 to determine whether there wasa requirement for the DIS (DI55) to monitor UFO sighting reports and to also ascertain
whether there was any evidence of a threat to the UK and to identify any potential military
technologies of interest. The study concluded that there was no evidence that any UAP in UK
air space were incursions of foreign origin, no potential military technologies of interest were
identified and there was no longer a requirement for the DIS to monitor UAP sighting reports.
As a result of the recommendations, the DIS no longer receives UAP sighting reports and has
conducted no further work into the subject ofUAPs. The report was circulated within the
DIS and to those branches within MoD who were considered to have an interest in the
findings of the report and were involved in air defence, flight safety and plasma formation,
MoD branches that received either the full or part report were DG(R&T), UKADGE,IFS(RAF) FSATC(AIRPROX) and OPS(LF) 1 HQ MATO. DIS has no historical
information to explain why Air Staff (now DAS-Sec) were not included on the distribution.
The report has been the subject of several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The
distribution list for the report was originally withheld but was subsequently released
following an appeal and an internal review with MoD by Info Access. A redacted version of
the report, with the distribution list, is now available on the internet via the MoD FOI
disclosure log.
Hansard Written Answers: 27 June 2007Column801W
Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for what reason his Secretariat
(Air Staff)/Defence Secretariat did not receive a copy of the report on Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena produced by the Defence Intelligence Staff; and ifhe will make a statement.

• Column 1360W
Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much was spent producing
the report Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region; who the author
was; what the author's qualifications in this subject were; to whom the report was circulated;
what actions were taken on the recommendations of the report; and ifhe will make a
statement. [128505]
Mr. Ingram: It is not possible to provide accurate details as to the cost of producing the
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena report as this was one of several tasks that were included
within a single contract and detailed costings for each of these tasks is not available.
However, it is estimated that the overall cost was approximately £50,000.
The author of the report was a contractor and was employed by the Defence Intelligence Staff
(DIS) on a long-term contract. Further details of the author, including the name, are being
withheld under the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998.
The report was circulated within the DIS and to other branches of the Ministry of Defenceand RAF. As recommended by the report, the DIS ceased to monitor unidentified aerial
phenomena sighting reports (and therefore reaped a saving in staff time) as they contained no
information of Defence Intelligence interest and no further action was taken.

•BACKGROUND NOTE,
Norman Baker has been the Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes since May 1997. He is Liberal
Democrat Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office and Shadow Chancellor for the Duchy of
Lancaster. Mr Baker has tabled 74 Defence related Questions during the last year. This
question returns to the theme ofthe role ofDAS regarding UFOs, which was the subject of
three Questions raised by him in 2006. It is not known what prompted this particular
Question, however, some "ufologists" express the view that the role ofDAS has been
exaggerated and that other branches are responsible for UFO or "extraterrestrial"
investigations or research. Mr Baker has recently published a book on the death of Dr David
Kelly.
The Ministry of Defence examines any reports of 'unidentified flying objects' it receives
solely to establish whether what was seen might have some defence significance; namely,
whether there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might have been
compromised by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity.
Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external military
source, and to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do not attempt to identify
the precise nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that rational explanations, such
as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for them if resources were diverted for
this purpose, but it is not the function ofthe MOD to provide this kind of aerial identification
service. Itwould be an inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so.
DAS remains the lead branch on UFO matters within the MoD and indeed, across
Government. UFO reports are forwarded to this branch and DAS staff carry out an initial
evaluation of any report received to decide if it warrants further investigation. If this is the
case, DAS consults the appropriate subject matter experts, particularly those dealing with
airspace integrity or air traffic control. On occasion, we may consult with other outside
organisations such as the Civil Aviation Authority or the Metrological Office.
REMEMBER you are accountable for the accuracy and timeliness of the advice you
provide. Departmental Instructions on answering PQs can be viewed on the Ministers

20 August 2007--hank you for your letter of26 J1.1ly2007 to Derek Twigg the Under Secretary of
State for Defence. Ithas been passed to me to answer.
Aircraft condensation trails ("contrails") are formed by mixing between the engine exhaust air and
the surrounding environmental air. The exhaust air contains additional water vapour that has been
released by burning fuel and the mixing process creates a plume of air that is briefly super-
saturated with water vapour. Observations of contrail formation conditions show that it is
necessary to achieve super-saturation with respect to liquid water in order for cloud particles to benucleated in the mixing plume.
With the current generation of airliner jet engines, contrail formation typically occurs at
temperatures below about -45 deg C, with some dependence on the humidity of the ambient air.
At such temperatures, the cloud particles forming in the contrail freeze almost instantaneously to
leave a cloud of small ice crystals. The temperature conditions required for contrail formation
typically occur at altitudes of 30,000ft and above, the typical altitude for many airliners in
cruising flight. They may occasionally form at slightly lower altitudes provided that the
temperature and humidity conditions are appropriate.
In a very dry atmosphere, continued mixing between the contrail, which is very turbulent, and theenvironment can lead to the air becoming sub-saturated, resulting in the cloud particles
evaporating. This produces a so-called non-persistent contrail which can be seen to dissipate at .
some distance behind the aircraft which generated it.
Contrail formation is somewhat analogous to the condensation that can occur in one's breath on a
cold day. In this case, mixing between the warm, moist (and nearly saturated) air from the lungs
and cold, unsaturated air in the environment can result in a super-saturated mixture in which cloud
droplets briefly form.
In some circumstances, it is possible for the environmental air in which the contrail forms to be at
or above the saturation humidity with respect to ice. Itshould be noted here that the saturationhumidity with respect to ice is less than that with respect to liquid water. In this circumstance,
mixing between the contrail and the environment does not result in the mixture becoming sub-
saturated with respect to ice. Hence, the ice crystals in the contrail can persist for long periods or
8/7/2019 UFO files from the UK government; DEFE 24/2092
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ufo-files-from-the-uk-government-defe-242092 70/331
aeven grow larger as they absorb the excess water vapour from the environment. This results in a
.contrail that can persist for many minutes or hours after the passage of the generating aircraft.
The part of atmosphere in which contrails form (the upper troposphere) can be a region in which
strong wind-shear, i.e. changes of wind speed or direction with height, occurs. Growing ice
crystals in the contrail can, therefore, fall into a layer of the atmosphere in which the wind speed
or direction is different from that in its formation layer ..This means that the. ice crystals can then
be carried horizontally away from the contrail. This contrail spreading is lllostapparent ifthecontrail is orientated perpendicular to the wind shear direction and can easily result in .cl?ud
streaks that may be many kilometres wide and visible in satellite cloud images. In regions of
heavy air traffic, it is quite common for the spreading of persistent contrails to result, in a thin
overcast that covers most of the sky when viewed from the ground. Such overcasts can be difficult
to distinguish from natural cirrus cloud. This is also formed in the upper troposphere and is
composed of ice crystals.
As noted above, the initiation of contrails is dependent on three major factors, i) the engine
exhaust characteristics, ii) the air temperature, and iii) the humidity of the air. At any level in the
atmosphere, there may be some variability in the humidity field such that when an aircraft flies
along, it may form contrails at one point but not at another. Such structure in the upper
tropospheric humidity can result from meteorological phenomena that may be very distant. For
example, a thunderstorm can transport water vapour into the upper atmosphere and may leave a
plume of moister air that persists and can be transported for long distances after the cloud itself
has dissipated.
Day-to-day variability of contrail formation results just from changes in the upper atmospheric
temperature and humidity at aircraft flight levels, as the large-scale weather systems evolve. This
can give rise to possible associations between periods of stronger contrail formation and
subsequent weather systems, although such associations are entirely natural.
The photographs contained on the CD-ROM you provided, and which I return to you, show
features that are absolutely consistent with the normal processes, described above, of contrail
formation, persistence and spreading. In particular, photo 13032007420.jpg illustrates two of the
important phenomena described above.
There is a contrail orientated roughly bottom-left to top-right in the picture. The oldest part of this
trail is at bottom-left and marks a boundary where the generating aircraft probably entered a
region of moister air and started to form a contrail. At this older end of the contrail, it has already
become spread in the horizontal as a result ofthe wind-shear effects. 'The width of the contrail
decreases towards the younger end at top-right, because the wind-shear has simply had less time
to act on the growing and falling ice crystals. The broader patches of cloudiness in this pictureappear to be of more natural origin, although as noted above, the distinction can sometimes bedifficult.
If you are concerned about the amount of air traffic that you have been witnessing since 2005,
may I suggest that you contact the Civil Air Authority who are responsible for air traffic within
the UK.
The Ministry of Defence does not take part in any activities of the type you describe. However, it
is possible however, that from time to time during an emergency, aircraft may vent fuel to reduce
the amount held in fuel tanks prior to landing.
I hope this is helpful.

Please see the attached explanation of what contrails are, how they spread or persist and comment on thephotographs supplied.
Although the Met Office has not been involved in cloud seeding for many years, it is true that both the Met
Office and MoD were involved in cloud seeding during the 1950s, but these activities were directed atmodifying the rainfall produced by convective clouds forming in the lower atmosphere. Contrails, as you will
read in the attached, form in the upper atmosphere.

1. The Initiation of Aircraft Condensation Trails
Aircraft condensation trails ("contrails") are formed by mixing between the engine

water vapour that has been released by burning fuel and the mixing process creates aplume of air that is briefly super-saturated with water vapour. Observations of contrail

to liquid water in order for cloud particles to be nucleated in the mixing plume.
With the current generation of airliner jet engines, contrail formation typically occurs
at temperatures below about -45 deg C, with some dependence on the humidity of the
ambient air. At such temperatures, the cloud particles forming in the contrail freeze
almost instantaneously to leave a cloud of small ice crystals. The temperature
conditions required for contrail formation typically occur at altitudes of 30,OOOftand
above, the typical altitude for many airliners in cruising flight. They may occasionally
form at slightly lower altitudes provided that the temperature and humidity conditions
are appropriate.
In a very dry atmosphere, continued mixing between the contrail, which is very
turbulent, and the environment can lead to the air becoming sub-saturated, resulting in
the cloud particles evaporating. This produces a so-called non-persistent contrail
which can be seen to dissipate at some distance behind the aircraft which generated it.

a super-saturated mixture in which cloud droplets briefly form.
2. Contrail Persistence
In some circumstances, it is possible for the environmental air in which the contrail
forms to be at or above the saturation humidity with respect to ice. Itshould be noted
here that the saturation humidity with respect to ice is less than that with respect to

3. Contrail Spreading
The part of atmosphere in which contrails form (the upper troposphere) can be a
region in which strong wind-shear, i.e. changes of wind speed or direction with
height, occurs. Growing ice crystals in the contrail can, therefore, fall into a layer of
the atmosphere in which the wind speed or direction is different from that in its
formation layer. This means that the ice crystals can then be carried horizontally away

Dear Mr Twigg,
Thursday 26UlJuly 2007
/~~IOI
I am writing to you with reference to the letter you sent to my local MP, Mr Jonathan
Djanogly, dated 18UlJuly 2007.
Firstly, I would like to point out that at no time have I ever mentioned UFO's or any
related topic. What I have witnessed in the sky is normal air traffic (i.e. passengerplanes) and an increasing amount of aircraft since October 2005 that appear very similar
in size to passenger planes. The increasing amount of aircraft as mentioned above, fly at
a much lower altitude than the normal contrail height for passenger planes, leaving
behind them (as can be seen on the enclosed CD-ROM) what have been classed on the
internet as Chern-Trails. I have witnessed, along with my brother, one of these Chem-
Trail laying planes malfunction and dump its intended cargo and abort its run.
Once the Chern-Trails have been laid in the sky, they gradually spread out and can turn a
clear blue sky into an extremely hazy sky. I am concerned and would like to know
exactly what is being sprayed by these planes as it would appear that some form of
seeding of the atmosphere is taking place. As in the early 1950's in Dorset, where flash
flooding occurred an d more recently the severe flooding in Gloucestershire and
Oxfordshire, there was a large increase in the activity of the planes spraying/seeding the
atmosphere in the respective areas.
As well as photographs on the enclosed CD-ROM, there are also some video clips that
show Chem-Trails that have been laid and also some that are in the process of being laid.
I am surprised that this has not been brought toyour attention before. I would like to add
that this is not something that is unique to this country, it is something that has being
going on all over Europe and America.
A copy of this letter and the CD-ROM has a ls o been sent tomy MP, Mr JonathanDjanogly for his reference and perusal.
Yours faithfully

First, it may be helpful if I explain that the Ministry of Defence has no expertise or role in
respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise ofextraterrestriallifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded. The MOD
examines any reports of sightings solely to establish whether what was seen might have
some defence significance. The MOD's only concern therefore, is to establish whether
there is any evidence that the United Kingdom's airspace might have been
compromised by hostile or unauthorised foreign military activity.
Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external
military source, and to date no 'UFO' report has revealed such evidence, we do notattempt to identify the precise nature of each sighting reported to us. We believe that
rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for
them if'resources were diverted for this purpose, but it is not the function of the MOD to
provide this kind of aerial identification service. It would be an inappropriate use of
defence resources if we were to do so.

_BACKGROUND NOTE
Norman Baker has been the Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes since May 1997. Mr Baker
tables a prolific number of Parliamentary Questions across Government Departments and has
asked many Defence related questions during the past year. The questions have primarily
focussed on Iraq but have also included Defence Intelligence related questions on the UAP
report, the DIS in-house magazine 'The Mole', the DIS internal exhibition 'Project 21', and
the Joint Narcotics Analysis Centre. This latest question clearly stems from a question Mr
Baker asked in March 07 (PQO1844T) - Hansard entry below. Mr Baker also wrote to the
Min(AF) in May 2007 on the UAP report, asking him to reconsider his decision not to release
the name and qualifications of the author ofthe report (MC0296112007) - a draft reply was
sent to Parliamentary Branch on 8 June 07.
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in the UK Air Defence Region study was
conducted between December 1996 and March 2000 to determine whether there was a
requirement for the DIS (DI55) to monitor UFO sighting reports and to also ascertain whether
there was any evidence of a threat to the UK and to identify any potential militarytechnologies of interest. The study concluded that there was no evidence that any UAP in UK
air space were incursions of foreign origin, no potential military technologies of interest were
identified and there was no longer a requirement for the DIS to monitor UFO sighting reports.
As a result of the recommendations, the DIS no longer receives UFO sighting reports and has
conducted no further work into the subject ofUAPs. The report was circulated within the
DIS and to those branches within MoD who were considered to have an interest in the
findings of the report and were involved in air defence, flight safety and plasma formation.
MoD branches that received either the full or part report were DG(R&T), UKADGE,
IFS(RAF) FSATC(AIRPROX) and OPS(LF) 1 HQ MATO. DIS has no historical
information to explain why Air Staff (now DAS-Sec) were not included on the distribution.
The report has been the subject of several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The
distribution list for the report was originally withheld but was subsequently released
following an appeal and an internal review with MoD by Info Access. A redacted version of
the report, with the distribution list, is now available on the internet via the MoD FOI
disclosure log.
Hansard
26 Mar 2007 : Column 1360W
Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much was spent
producing the report Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region;
who the author was; what the author's qualifications in this subject were; to whom
the report was Circulated; what actions were taken on the recommendations of the
report; and if he will make a statement. [128505]
Mr. Ingram: It is not possible to provide accurate details as to the cost of producing
the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena report as this was one of several tasks that were
included within a single contract and detailed costings for each of these tasks is not
available. However, it is estimated that the overall cost was approximately £50,000.
The author of the report was a contractor and was employed by the Defence
Intelligence Staff (DIS) on a long-term contract. Further details of the author,

.inclUding the name, are being withheld under the terms of the Data Protection Act
1998.
The report was circulated within the DIS and to other branches of the Ministry of
Defence and RAF. As recommended by the report, the DIS ceased to monitorunidentified aerial phenomena sighting reports (and therefore reaped a saving in
staff time) as they contained no information of Defence Intelligence interest and nofurther action was taken.

MINISTERIAL CORRESPONDENCE 558912006 Derek Twigg, MP
1. I attach a self explanatory draft reply for Min(AF) to send to USofS.
MP has received an e-mail from his constituent
Widnes, asking for information regarding use of "sleds" with laserlights being towed behind aircraft to counter heat seeking missiles and the existence ofa BAE Systems Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
3. is a member of the British Unidentified Flying Object Study Centre.He believes that the explanation for a number of UFO sightings might actually lie inmodern military equipment having been misidentified by members of the public. Herefers first to a "sled" towed from the back of aircraft that emits multi coloured laserbeams in order to divert heat seeking missiles away from the aircraft itself. The MoD isunaware of any laser based device that would fit this description. However, there are avariety of small electronic devices that can be towed from the back of aircraft to defeatincoming missiles and work by emitting radio waves. The ARI 23569 system has beenfitted to Tornado for a number of years and the new Typhoon is fitted with the TowedRadar Decoy on the RAF version. Information on both these systems is widely availableon the internet.
4. second suggestion is that UFO sightings over Runcorn mayactually have been an UAV from the BAE factory at Preston. BAE have developed aUAV called the HERTI which was shown at Farnborough earlier this year but they insist ithas never been flown over Runcorn. Whilst it remains an experimental project, detailsare available on the BAE website.
5. The MoD does operate small battlefield UAVs such as the Pheonix, which can beused to spot for artillery or for local reconnaissance but it does not own larger UAVs suchas the US Predator with their loiter capability wh is probably envisaging.

• Me Ref 5589/2006 October 2006
Thank you for your note regarding the e-mail you received from of
Widnes, seeking information regarding devices towed from aircraft to defeat heat
seeking missiles and the existence of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle produced by BAE.
The MoD is unaware of any towed sled with multi coloured laser beams being used to
defeat heat seeking missiles. However, the ARI 23569 towed decoy system that emits
radio waves to confuse incoming missiles has been used for a number of years on
Tornado F3. Additionally, the new Typhoon aircraft will be fitted with the Towed Radar
Decoy on the RAF version.
BAE have developed a UAV called the HERTI which was shown at Farnborough earlier
this year but they have not flown it over Runcorn. Whilst it remains an experimental
project, details are available on the BAE website.

Hi Derek,.Thanks to you and~for comini to the recent Friends of the Earth
C hange. lUso thanks to:S 1 for arranging the ..eeting with our
As a member of the British Unidentif~jd Flying Object Study C entre ( BUFOSC ), there areseveral questions I would like to ask the Ministry of Defense.
1) Several years ago, BUFOSC received reports about people seeing UFOes chasing Britishfighter planes. BUFOSC believe the UFO's are somekind of device being towed by thefighter planes, to counteract incoming heat seeking missiles. We believe the device is atowed sled with multi- coloured laser beams on it, which produce a white light somedistance from the plane, which the heat seeking missile homes in on, then detonates itsp roxi mity fus e.
We would like to know:-a) Does this device exist
b) Has it been developed beyond the experimental stagec) What name has been given to the device.
2) BUFOSC received reports of people seeing UFO's over Runcorn. The UFO's followed thesame path each time. They came in from the Fiddlers Ferry Power Station, direction, andwent out towards Liverpool Airport. The UFO's were too slow for a fighter plane, toosmall to be a bomber, too quiet for a Helicopter. We believe they are UAV (unmanned arielvehicles), from British Aerospace factory, at Preston. I am concerned that if one ofthese British " predator" UAV's crashes into the C hlorine tanks at IC I Runcorn, then largenumbers of your constituents will be killed, by C hlorine poisoning. Also, if one of theseUAV's hits the large Vinyl C hloride tanks at EVC , then a BLEVE ( Boiling Liquid ExpandingVapour Explosion) could result, which would result in large numbers of your constituentsbein g kill ed.
I would like to know:-a) Does such a UAV existb) Has it been developed beyond the experimentalc) What name does the UAV have. I~~~
stage.
Y ou may recall, Derek, at your 8th September surgery, at Upton C ommunity C entre, I askedif these devices were being deployed in Afghanistan. Y ou said you did not know, as youhad only been in your new job two days. I was trying to get you to admit that thesedevices exist, so that BUFOSC can classify these UFO's as Identified.

In answer to the Ministerial Correspondence you forwarded, I have the following comment regarding thestatements at para 1:
Tornado F3 has a limited fit of Towed Radar Decoy (TRD) and is given the designator ARI23569. Manufactured by SELEX, the TRD is a Radio Frequency (RF) Countermeasures system however, it is
not fitted with any "multi-coloured lasers". The decoy itself is a relatively small device (about 1m long) has anon-reflective coating, and is towed behind the aircraft on a long fibre-optic cable. It should be noted that no
streaming (the deployment of the decoy) of TRD is currently authorised outside of an operational
environment.
Typhoon has a similar system, although it is not currently fitted to the RAF's aircraft. Again it is an RF system,
with no lasers and a non-reflective body.
Other TRD systems are being fitted to some Large Aircraft Systems currently in procurement, but none
have as yet been delivered to the Service.
There are other technologies in development such as MALO (Miniature Air Launched Decoy) and advanced
flare systems which have the capability to "keep up" with the parent platform however, none are currently
fielded.
On the subject of "multi-coloured lasers" DIRCM is a Directional Infrared (IR) CounterMeasuressystem designed to defeat missile IR seekers through directed light energy. However, this system is not fitted
to any Fast Jets, is not towed and emits radiation outside of the visible spectrum; we are not aware of any
system oomptteinqe laser (visible or otherwise) on a sled.
I hope the above is satisfactory for your response however, feel free to call should you require more detail.
Regards

Ministry of Defence
TEMPLATE TO BE USED FOR REPLY
Monday 09 October 2006
Lynne Featherstone MP (Hornsey &Wood Green) (Lib Dem)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many reported unidentified
flying object sightings his Department (a) received and (b) investigated in the
last five years. (92203)
Minister replying US of S
Since January 2001 the Ministry of Defence has received 714 reports of
unidentified flying objects. Reports are analysed solely to consider whether
there is any reason to believe that UK airspace has been compromised by the
reported activity. Of the 714 reports received, only 12 were deemed to be
worthy of further consideration, and none of these was considered to
demonstrate any threat to the integrity of the UK Air Defence Region.
DRAFT REPLIES SHOULD BE SENT TO:
PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS AND NOT PQMAIL
If a PQ is sent to you incorrectly, please discuss the transfer with thecorrect branch, send the template on and inform Parliamentary Branchimmediately
