From Moscow or Mars to Obama’s Striped Stars
Well, I was going to start on a somewhat different note, but I had the BBC news on in the background this evening (Monday 26 Jan) when what appeared to be a senior official from the MOD (Ministry of Defence) started explaining that yes, there have been violations of British airspace recently by UFOs, (here he explained that we don’t know if they’re from Moscow or Mars ..) and the British Defense Force has fired at them on a number of occasions. (Unsuccessfully so far, the news reader assured me). This stopped me in my tracks and wondered if I was hearing things.
Because I had only half been watching I’m not sure if this was the repeat of a statement made a while ago or a current one, but that was a first for me, a top-brass Military Man (or at least a well-dressed MOD spokesman) stating that yes, they were currently dealing with UFO’s (whether made of Marshmallows or from Moscow or Mars, it was still a first.) I shook as much dust out of my ears as I could in case the statement was repeated but it wasn’t.
A few weeks ago there was a news story about a wind turbine that had been damaged, alongside reports of UFO sightings. The original news story gave possible explanations of the damage being done by ice being flung off another of the turbines, or even a frozen block of urine falling out of a plane, but these seem to have been dismissed.
The Telegraph have a write-up saying that “Debris from a destroyed wind turbine which reports have claimed was hit by a UFO has been sent for forensic analysis in Germany. “ and “Hundreds of local witnesses claimed to have seen bright flashing spheres in the skies above the turbine, and many are convinced the damage was caused by a flying saucer.”
I sent a text to my brother who is on holiday in Egypt, telling him of the MOD admitting to firing at UFOs, and got the reply: “Shame, they probably just came by to refuel…” which warranted the reply: “True… it was actually British Gas who were firing at them…”
The UFO controversy has taken on a whole new dimension since Britain’s Ministry of Defense released files on UFO sightings to the National Archives at Kew. These date back to the 1970s and include witness accounts and the government’s response, and are part of a four-year project to make all UFO documents available to the public via the archives at Kew. CNN covered this in May last year.
If you want to find out more about close encounters over Gatwick Airport, alien abductions, stray satellites – and what the UK Government thought of it all – then this is the place to be – UFOs at The National Archives at Kew. Anybody interested in digging through this archive may want to start with Dr David Clarke’s background guide to the files a synopsis of the highlights in PDF form.
Even Obama doesn’t seem to have avoided the UFO factor according to a video clip of CNN broadcasting from the inaugration which has images of a UFO over Obama’s inaugration, passing the Washington Memorial at a time when no planes were allowed over the area. Is this a hoax or is this real?
I think it looks like a turbo-charged pigeon, but it is somewhat strange.
Well, I started with the BBC news on in the background now I feel as if I may be in a strange other-worldly dream of UFO’s… I’ll finish this when I wake up, but…
… Its All Out There …
