Article by Svetlana Ekimenko October 4, 2020 (sputniknews.com)
• From the early 1950s until 2009, a department in the UK Ministry of Defence documented and investigated reports of UFOs. These documents, many of which were gathered by The Royal Air Force, had been sealed for 61 years and have been released following a Freedom of Information request. The files offer a head-spinning account of strange objects all shapes and sizes, detailed in over 620 sightings across the UK between 1959 and 2009.
• The very last UFO report published online by the MoD dates to 2009, and covers sightings that took place that year. A report dated January 2009 painted a vivid picture of a “a silver disc-shaped light”. Another one, in June that year, made mention of “up to 20 orange and red glowing lights”. In September, a witness described “three blazing gold orbs in a diagonal line in the sky”.
• One of the UK regions particularly noted for frequent “UFO sightings” over the years has been Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands. Lincolnshire was “a busy hub” for UFOs according to the MoD reports. Northern Lincolnshire witnessed more than 30 reports filed by the MoD over the years including 13 sightings in just one year.
• One Lincolnshire account described seeing a UFO with “a big red dome” and “suspicious” white lights, moving in a straight line. After being “stationary for some time, it … started moving making small erratic movements”. Another account described a quarter-of-a-mile long UFO with “three large green windows”. Yet another account depicts a “silver, cigar shaped object” with sharp “pointed wings”, a red light on one side and a green light on the other. After hovering, it swiftly disappeared.
• According to the declassified MoD files, London was at the top of the list with 54 sightings, followed by Kent (30) and Lancashire (24). The official documents are now available to read on the UK Government’s website (see here).
