U.F.O disproved by M.o.D (UK)

The ministry of defence of UK has released a 400 page report on UFOs, after it is being requested through the Freedom of Information Act by an academic.

Read the full news here (BBC).

Here is a summary for lazy people:
1. The report, which was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only", has been made public for the first time.

2. the identity of the man who wrote it has been protected.

3. "No evidence exists to suggest that the phenomena seen are hostile or under any type of control, other than that of natural physical forces."

4."Evidence suggests that meteors and their well-known effects and, possibly some other less-known effects are responsible for some unidentified aerial phenomena,"

5.People who claim to have had a "close encounter" are often difficult to persuade that they did not really see what they thought they saw. The report offers a possible medical explanation.

6. "The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person," states the report. "Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced."

7.other causes of UFOs - aeroplanes with particularly bright lights, stray odd-shaped balloons and strange flocks of birds, to name but a few.

of course, there will always be an argument that this is an elaborate government cover-up, so on and so forth...
