So according to an article on CNN.com, the UK’s Ministry of Defence released about 4,000 pages of UFO files. As with most of these releases (see: Project Blue Book), most of the sightings were accounted for. Most. Many still remain unexplained. This doesn’t mean they are extraterrestrial, but it also means that even the skeptics can’t always claim that something is just swamp gas, a weather balloon, or Venus. Most notably, the Rendlesham Forest incident still remains unexplained, with numerous military officers claiming contact with a landed craft. Officers working at a base that purportedly had nuclear weapons to attack Russia in the even the Cold War escalated. A case very similar to the Roswell incident, in that not only were these trained military people who witnessed this, but high-ranking specialists.
Fourteen files, containing over 4,000 pages of UFO sightings from 1981 to 1996, have now been placed on Britain’s National Archives database and are publicly available online.
The sightings range from lights in the sky to close contact with aliens, and the files contain detailed analysis on some of the UK’s most popular cases — a number of which remain officially unexplained.
In one incident in 1995, two men in their 20s from Staffordshire, central England, told police they saw an alien with a lemon-shaped head descend from a hovering UFO and tell them “We want you; come with us.”
In another sighting recorded by defense officials in 1994, two women at the Glastonbury music festival reported seeing a UFO floating above the jazz stage.
