Our Reference: D/DAS/64/2 Date: 12 September 2005

I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying object', seen on 9 September 2005, the details of which you passed to Sussex Police. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence 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 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 the 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 phenonena.

With regard to your particular observation, I can confirm that we received no other reports of 'UFO' sightings for 9 September 2005 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.

Sorry I could not be any help.

Yours sincerely

Subject: UFO report

A local newspaper, the Louth Leader, have had a couple of calls about this. They seem to think the informants were quite sober and serious. We had no reports here but are further south. Our ATC was not manned Sunday evening in any case.

The info I have is:

date /time: Sun 4th Sep 05 2200 -2215 location: Above Louth, Lincolnshire description: 2 orange orbs seen outside with naked eye moved very slowly at first then very fast towards North sea clear night no concerts/out door functions in area (quiet market town) reported to --of Louth Leader newspaper. not reporte~d a few RAF Stations, then the RPRO~ho contacted this office.

- ould like to know if there was any flying in the area and if there was a logical explanation, hoping to do a follow up piece for the paper.

Thank you,

There could have been low flying in the area, but that would have been at a low height. No heights were given in the report. We do not investigate UFO sightings, as we have a limited interest in the subject.. We look at reports more for defence significance, i.e. that if the United Kingdom's airspace could have been compromised by unauthorised aircraft.

Your Reference:


I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified fly1ng object', seen in August 2005, the details of which you passed to Staffordshire Police. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence 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.


The MOD does not have any expertise or role in the respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial lifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded. l 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, Staffordshire Police did not inform me of the date that you saw the 'UFO', so I can not confirm whether there were any other sightings on the day you saw the 'UFO'. We are satisfied though, that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.

Your Reference:


I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying object', seen 23 June 2005, the details of which you put in correspondence to the MOD. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence 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 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 the existence 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.

With regard to your particular observation, I can confirm that we received no other reports of 'UFO' sightings for 23 June 2005 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.

Sorry I could not have been more help in your quest to find out what the object was.

Subject: Unusual sighting over St Neots Cambridgeshire- 8.6.05

Dear Sirs

Ij m contacting you to report the sighting of a strange object in the sky above St Neots, Cambridgeshire on Wednesday 8 June 2005.

My daughter and 3 friends said they could see a uline11 in the sky at approximately 4.45p. When I looked up to where they were pointing I could clearly see the object. It looked like a rod. It seemed to move around and at times I could only see the end of it which looked like a dot. My daughter got me her binoculars and I could see the rod more clearly- it appeared to shine silver when the sun caught it but was dark grey to the naked eye. It was slightly pointed at one end. It moved up and down in the sky and sometimes appeared to disappear. There were glider planes in the sky also (I counted 3 while looking at the object) and they appeared to fly under it giving the impression that the object was higher in the sky than the planes.

I watched the object for about 15-20 mins but then had to answer the phone, by which time it had disappeared. I happened to mention the sighting to some people at work and 2 colleagues confirmed that they also saw the object about 30 mins earlier than me but it looked a lot bigger and appeared to spiral down and then rise again several times. They also thought it looked metalic but was lower in the sky. Their sighting was also shared by both adults and children at the local after school club (where they work).

I'm not sure whether this is the correct place to report such a sighting but I feel I need to share this information to an official body. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying object', that you saw, the details of which you left on our answerphone. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence for correspondence relating to 'UFOs.' A letter was sent to your previous address, on the 19 May 2005, you can't have received it.


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 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 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.


You mentioned about a newspaper saying that our Department had a research team. As mentioned in my letter above, we do not investigate into UFO sightings, so a research team is not required.

..

The newspaper is incorrect in it's information, and should have asked this Department as in to what work we undertake, before publishing what it thought was correct information.

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 be deemed appropriate, involve the scrambling or diversion of air defence aircraft). From that perspective, reports provided to us of 'UFO' sightings are examined, but consultation with air defence staff and others as necessary is considered only where there is sufficient evidence to suggest a breach of UK air defence. The vast majority of reports we receive are very sketchy and vague. Only a handful of reports in recent years have warranted further investigation and none revealed any evidence of a threat

Also, you asked for advice on how you could apply to join this office. MOD civil servants are generally posted every 2-3 years to undertake duties in a wide variety of areas within the Department Staff with appropriate experience to carry out the broad range of tasks associated with general RAF secretariat work may be posted to serve in Das. Should you wish to become a MOD civil servant you may wish to look for job vacancies at your local employment office. However, I should emphasize that joining the civil service as a MOD employee would be no guarantee of a posting to Das.

Hope this will be helpful.

Yours sincerely

First may it 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' 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 aerial identification service.

Sighting of UFO over London I SE-London

Date of Sighting:14/5/2005 Time: 21:43

Dear Sir/ Madam, I was looking out of my window (which faces London) trying to find Venus, as

I had seen it earlier that evening. I looked away, and when I looked back, I saw a black, cigar-shape/side on disc flying slowly over what appeared to be 10-30 miles away from my house. I continued to watch the object, which maintained it's slow speed and heading for about 15-20 seconds. Then, it accelerated to a speed tha t would easily outstrip a low flying fighter jet. It continued on its heading, but stil l gaining speed until I could not see it . I opened the window and leaned out to observe this further, but it had disappeared out of my sight. There were no markings on the craft, l ights, or smells that accompanied the appearance of this aircraft, except a very low humming noise.

I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying object', seen in April 2005, and two years before, the details of which you left on our answerphone. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence for correspondence relating to 'UFOs.'




You mentioned in your letter of Alien intelligence. If we 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. I should point out that to date the MOD is not aware of any evidence which might substantiate the existence of craft or lifeforms of extraterrestrial origin, and no threat has been discerned which has been attributed to a 'UFO'.

..

e With regard to your particular observation, I can't confirm whether we had any other reports of 'UFO' sightings on the day you saw the 'UFO' as you did not forward this office, a specific date or time of the sighting. We are satisfied that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom's airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.

I am writing with reference to your report of an 'unidentified flying object', seen about five to six years ago, the details of which you left on our answerphone. This office is the focal point within the Ministry of Defence for correspondence relating to 'UFOs.'



The MOD does not have any expertise or role in respect of 'UFO/tlying saucer' matters to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestriallifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded. I should add that to date, the MOD knows of no corroborating evidence which substantiates the existence of these alleged phenomena.

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). Only a handful of reports in recent years have warranted further investigation and none revealed any evidence of a threat.

With regard to your particular observation, we are satisfied that there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that the United Kingdom' s airspace was breached by unauthorised aircraft.
