UK's X-Files to be released within 8 months

The British government has confirmed that several more UFO documents are still on track to be released.
The secretive files have remained a subject of controversy and debate in recent years due to the fact that their release date has been repeatedly pushed back for no discernible reason.

The documents are of particular interest to UFO investigators as they are believed to include new information about the 1980 Rendlesham Forest UFO case in which several US Air Force personnel witnessed a strange object in the woods near RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk.

There is still light at the end of the tunnel however as last week Defence Minister Earl Howe maintained that the files would be getting released to the National Archives within eight months.

"The latest estimate of when the 18 files will be delivered to the National Archives is before March 2016," he said in response to a query about the issue from Lord Black of Brentwood. "The National Archives will make the necessary judgement about when they release these files to the public."

His statement happened to come just in time for World UFO Day on July 2nd.

"This massive delay will have conspiracy theorists up in arms. It looks like the MoD is stalling," former MoD UFO researcher Nick Pope had previously stated in response to the issue. "The suspicion will be that there's a bombshell in these files and that the Ministry does not know how to handle it."

"I can understand why conspiracy theorists will be angry and suspicious."

Will release of top secret UK UFO files reveal proof of aliens?

The major boost for alien hunters can be exclusively revealed by Express.co.uk on World UFO Day, which campaigners are using to call for the release of all such records globally.

UFO researchers, backed by House of Lords peer, have been fighting for the release of 18 top secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files about UFO sightings from more than 30 years ago.

The Government faced claims of a cover-up from conspiracy theorists when their release was stalled at the end of 2013.

Some investigators claim the files could provide key evidence of extra-terrestrial life visiting the UK and of specific information about famous controversial sightings such as the Rendlesham Forest incident - a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of one or more craft in Suffolk in late December 1980.

Lord Black of Brentwood, who asked the Government for an update through a Parliamentary question, was assured yesterday - the day before World UFO day - the files would be released by the MoD to the National Archives by March next year.

Alien hunters are confident these records could prove if extra-terrestrial life actually exists, as these were the most secretive files held in the private offices of various Cabinet ministers.

Although the files are being released to the National Archives, it is not yet clear when they will be available for public inspection.

In his Parliamentary question, Lord Black asked: "In relation to the 18 Ministry of Defence files on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) that have yet to be released to the public, what is the originating division of the file reference M9/18; what is the remit of that division in relation to UAP; and what is their latest estimate of when the 18 files will be passed to the National Archives, and then released to the public."

Defence Minister Earl Howe replied: "The originating branch of file reference MO9/18 relates to ministers' private offices. The latest estimate of when the 18 files will be delivered to the National Archives is before March 2016.

"The National Archives will make the necessary judgement about when they release these files to the public."

The UK "X-Files" are being released

A number of older UFO files held by the UK government have already been released, including details of sightings by officials and police.

Nick Pope, who used to investigate the existence of UFOs for the MoD, said the files should contain some fascinating sightings.

However, referring to what is often called the most famous UFO claim in history - sparked by claims an alien spaceship crashed in New Mexico, US, in 1947 - Mr Pope added the soon-to-be-released files are probably not a "UK Roswell-style UFO in a hangar style cover up".

When the release of the files were stalled in 2014, which the MoD blamed on "additional processing requirements", Mr Pope sympathised with alien researchers.

He said at the time: "This massive delay will have conspiracy theorists up in arms. It looks like the MoD is stalling.

"The suspicion will be that there's a bombshell in these files and that the Ministry does not know how to handle it.

"I can understand why conspiracy theorists will be angry and suspicious."

Mr Pope worked at the MoD for 21 years, but was specifically assigned to investigate UFOs for a three-year period.

He told Express.co.uk today: "Coincidentally, to World UFO Day, the government just announced the date for the release of the final batch of Ministry of Defence UFO files.

"The fact that there is a World UFO Day shows the public's ongoing fascination with one of the great mysteries of our time. Having worked on the MoD's UFO project I'm sorry to say that we don't have any crashed spaceships hidden away in some RAF hangar, as some believe, but we do have some fascinating and unexplained cases in our files."

Today's World UFO Day is the fifteenth to be held on the anniversary of the Roswell mystery, when a UFO was alleged to have crashed near Roswell in New Mexico in July 1947, before being squirelled away by the military with aliens still inside the craft.

It is then claimed officials

covered up the spacecraft's crash as being a downed weather balloon.

The 'Redlesham Forest incident', which is alleged to have taken place near RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, in 1980, saw US Airman First Class John Burroughs, who was stationed there, exposed to radiation after a mystery "UFO visitation".

He has since won damages from the American military, but still wants answers about what happened and hopes they will be in the new files.

Will files get to the bottom of the Rendlesham Forest Incident?

[Mystique]

Pat Frascogna, his lawyer, said: "We know there is information contained in these MoD files about the Rendlesham Forest incident because the MoD clearly indicated so in responding to a Freedom of Information request by John Burroughs last year."

UFO hunters are keeping their eyes firmly on the skies today and tonight to celebrate the global fascination with the flying saucer.

According to the World UFO Day website, it is dedicated to "raising awareness about the undoubted existence of UFO’s and with that intelligent beings from outer space."

It is also part of a campaign to get international governments to "declassify" their so-called confidential "X-Files" on UFO sightings throughout their history.

Are you marking World UFO Day?

james:

there will never be disclosure because they have kept it from us for so long that they now have no choice to release anything that will confirm their existance. the government that we know doesn't even know, and can never find out. when i was stationed at bangor sumarine base in washington, which i guarded warheads for the trident submarine, i saw craft fly over the base that were not from here, this base is a no fly zone, and if we have craft like what i saw i challenge the military or whoever to show us those craft. they can because we don't have anything like what i saw. it was not a light high in the sky, it was not ballon, or swamp gas . these were at tree top level 200 feet off the ground. they will never disclose anything because the elite have sosold the human race out, and have allowed them to take us over, as long as they can keep their money and power over us.I really find it hard to believe that people have no concern about whats going on, 100 thousand people each year disappear without a trace, and no one seems to care, when will it be your turn to disappear? will anyone even care ? wake up and lets all just march down there to area 51 and go in and see whats going on, if all 300 million of us go down there what will they do, i say nothing. people should know whats going on , the govern ment works for us, and the shadow government whether they belive it or not does to. Its all about greed and power people , they don't tell us about the technolgy they have cause they want to keep making a profit. and they contol us and have sold us out, those 100 thousand that disappear every year without a trace, and the millions that are abducted that don't even know have rights, lets not let them down, lets find a way to expose it

I grew up during the Cold War when global hatred was focused into two camps (the hatred is still there, but it is more fragmented just now). The hatred back then was so powerful that the Third World War could have kicked off at any moment. The governments of both sides - allegedly - knew all about UFOs and alien visitations. Yet both sides - allegedly - conspired with one another to keep this secret from we the people, who were so unimportant we were about to be nuked in the name of political ideology.

[5thColumn]

When one begins to look in earnest into early UFOlogy they can't help but notice he unavoidable correlation between the Cold War, the paranoia that the Cold War incited and UFO investigations. Somewhere along the way aliens got thrown into the mix and it all went down hill from there. There is no way in hell that a Cold War Russia would collude with the US in anything. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a poignant example of the unwillingness of Russia to concede even an inch to the West and that incident had the entire world on the edge of their seats.

[Infowarrior]

I totally agree. Ufology and the Cold War went hand in hand. How it all worked is beyond me, but it was, as you say, a time of paranoia and fear: perfect for imaginations to run riot. I have a memory of one of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between Gerald Ford and Leonid Brezhnev in the early 1970's. After months of negotiations the two men sat down and signed the papers. Despite the smiles and handshakes, the hostility between the two men was palpable.

[Alien Agenda]

This is what I forsee after release- 10+ TV documentaries of the same released info with "expert" comments and commentary and reconstructions of the documents events that by the end of the shows leave a blank believe or not who cares. Millions of ppl guessing, debating and clogging up forums and blogging and youtubing their theories on the documents and conspiracy theorising. The documents being same old rubbish blacked out and revealing nothing new, only released to wet nurse the disclosure now protesters.

[Majestic 12]

Well, regardless of whether America or Russia are getting all the public attention on UFO matters, I continue to think that other countries could have records of revealing things that happened, one-of-a-kind artifacts and who knows what else?

[Okane]

Well in all fairness did Kennedy not order the CIA to share information on ufos with Russia? Keep in mind not saying they where hiding aliens. It seems they also where trying to figure out this phenomenon.
