Our Reference: D/DAS/64/2 Date: 25 February 2005

I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying object', seen on 20 February 2005, the details of which you left on our answerphone. This office is the focal point within the Ministry ofDefence for correspondence relating to 'UFOs.'

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 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.

The MOD does not have any expertise or role in respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters to the question of 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.

With regard to your particular observation, I can confirm that we received eight other reports of 'UFO' sightings for 20 February 2005, and two were from Somerset, Wilts, Dorset, Devon, Leicestershire, London and Cardiff in South Wales. We are satisfied that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.

Yours sincerely

The Prime Minister/SofS/Min(AF)/Min(DP)/USofS/MOD* 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 of the PM/Minister/Department*.

/2005

Ministers attach great importance to correspondence being answered promptly, and your reply should be sent within 15 working days of the above date. If, exceptionally, this should prove impossible, an interim reply should be sent within the same timescale. You should be aware that No 10 periodically calls for a sample ofletters sent by officials on the PM's behalf for his perusal.

Most correspondence involves some form of request for information - even if it is only a request for clarification of Government policy- and is therefore covered by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) from January 2005. In general, if you meet the deadline for responding to correspondence, and comply with any requests for information, there is no need to do anything differently as this will meet the requirements ofthe Act. However, if the correspondence requests information which is not already in the public domain, and which might need to be withheld, then you should treat it as a FOIA request, track it using the Access to Information toolkit, and comply with the separate FOI guidance from DG Info (see http://aitportalldefault.aspx for details). However, the deadline for responding to correspondence will still apply. If you are in any doubt as to whether a piece of correspondence should be treated as an FOIA request, you should ask your FOI Focal Point or refer to the guidance produced by DO Info.

It is vital that branches ensure they have simple systems to record and track correspondence received from members ofthe public. This information should be regularly monitored and reviewed against the targets for answering correspondence published in the Spending Review 2000 Service Delivery Agreement for the Ministry of Defence.

As part of our monitoring procedure, random spot checks on the accuracy of your branch records on correspondence will be performed throughout the year.

The Prime Minister/SofS/Min(AF)/Min(DP)/USofS/MOD* 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 of the PM/Minister/Department*.

Ministers attach great importance to correspondence being answered promptly, and your reply should be sent within 15 working days of the above date. If, exceptionally, this should prove impossible, an interim reply should be sent within the same timescale. You should be aware that No 10 periodically calls for a sample ofletters sent by officials on the PM's behalf for his perusal.

Most correspondence involves some form of request for information - even if it is only a request for clarification of Government policy - and is therefore covered by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) from January 2005.

I have still not recieved any response to the correspondence I sent to you on the 24 January 2005. Please can you deal with the Observation matter described below and respond. Thank you. For security reasons, I do not wish to use the post to send a full report of the matter - perhaps a MOD or local military officer could visit my home to obtain a full report. The government still needs to fulfil its international obligations in these matters regardless of whether or not the UK government itself wishes to acknowledge or record such incidents.

Thank you for your letter dated 26 November 2004, and the enclosed notes, regarding the sightings you saw in 1996 and 1998.

This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence for correspondence relating to 'UFO's.



Also, the MOD does not have any expertise or role in respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters to the question of existence or otherwise of extraterrestriallifeforms, 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.

We are satisfied that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.

Thank you for your letter dated 26 November 2004.

I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying objed>seen on 26 November 2004, the details of which you included in your letter.

As stated in my previous letters, you will know our policy on 'UFO's.

With regard to your particular observation, I can confirm that we received no other reports of 'UFO' sightings for 26 November 2004 from anywhere in the UK. We are satisfied there there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.

If the MOD ever became aware of any evidence which might suggest a potential threat, action would be set in hand to investigate, analyse and counter that threat in the light of the circumstances which prevail at the time. This applies to any form of threat to the UK's security from whatever source. UK airspace is continually policed to ensure that no such aircraft enters our airspace.

As to your other comments in your letter, they have been noted and your letter will be placed on our files.

Yours sincerely

The integrity of the UK' s airspace in peacetime is maintained through continuous surveillance of the UK Air Policing Area by the Royal Air Force. This is achieved by using a combination of civil and military radar installations, which provide a continuous real-time 'picture' of the UK airspace. Any threat to the UK Air Defence Region would be handled in the light of the particular circumstances at the time (it might if deemed appropriate, involve the scrambling or diversion of air defence aircraft). We are satisfied that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.

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. It would be an inappropriate use of defence resources if we were to do so.

Dear-

Thank you for your e.mail of 20 September 2004 and the picture that was taken by your Dad on 28 July 2004, at the Valley of the rocks at Lynton near Exmoor. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence for correspondence relating to 'UFOs.'


Unless there is evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom from an external military source, and to date no 'UFO' report/sighting 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 to the question of existence or otherwise of extraterrestriallifeforms, about which is remains totally open-minded. I should add that to date, the MOD knows of no evidence which substantiates the existence of these alleged phenomena.

With regard to the 'UFO' that your Dad took a picture of on the 28 July 2004, I can confirm that we received no other reports of 'UFO' sightings for 28 July 2004 from anywhere in the UK. We are satisfied that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.
