SOME UFO REPORTS GLEANED FROM THE INTERNET.

UFO NEWS - BRITISH MOD X-FILES REVEAL PILOT'S 'NEAR MISS' WITH UFO AT MANCHESTER AIRPORT, UK.
According to latest MOD August 2010 UFO released X-Files which had also revealed that Churchill had ordered a 50-year cover-up on UFOs. On 6 January 1995 a passenger plane in the night sky above Manchester nearly miss the collision. In a detailed report to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the pilot confirmed that he was about 4,000 feet up over the Pennines, eight or nine miles south east of Manchester Airport, when the two men both saw something flash past the cockpit window. What makes this particular incident interesting is the credibility of the witnesses: the pilot and first officer of a British Airways aircraft who reported it as an 'air miss'. The pilot described seeing a 'lighted object fly down the right hand side of the aircraft at high speed in the opposite direction.' His first officer - who instinctively 'ducked' as it went by - said it was a 'wedge-shaped' object possibly with a black stripe down the side which he estimated was 'between a light aircraft and Jetstream' (a small passenger plane) in size. According to the CAA's Airmiss Working Party report, the captain and the first officer drew what they had seen. The pilot was convinced it had 'a number of small, white lights, rather like a Christmas tree' adding that he was able to track the object for around two seconds looking through the windscreen and side window. Both were convinced that what they had seen was 'a solid object and not a [meteorological] phenomenon, balloon or any other craft' with which they were familiar, including a Stealth bomber. The investigation failed to identify the object. The National Archive files also contains a sketch by a member of the public showing a UFO allegedly seen from the ground on the same day as the near miss with the Boeing aircraft. It showed an oblong craft with a curved front and a series of small nozzles at the rear. However, a UFO expert who sent the sketches to the MoD said he was "a little dubious" about aspects of the report, including a claim that the object was "20 times the size of a football field." The 18 UFO files released on 5 August 2010 are the latest to come out as part of a three-year project between the MoD and the National Archives. The files are made up of more than 5,000 reports, letters and drawings from members of the public. Reports of sightings of UFOs peaked in 1996 in the UK - when science fiction drama The X Files was popular. According to the files, there were more than 600 reports in 1996, compared with an average of 240 in the previous five years. -0-

UFO CLOSES AIRPORT.

PLANE MYSTERIOUS ... UFO HOVERS NEAR INNER MONGOLIAN AIRPORT.
UFO CLOSES CHINA AIRSPACE

GLOWING object stunned locals and grounded planes as it lit up radar screens

GIANT UFO SEEN OVER AIRPORT

By VIRGINIA WHEELER Published: 05 Oct 2010

A MAJOR airport was forced to shut down to prevent packed passenger jets crashing into a UFO. The "flat and tubular" object hovered two miles from Bootee in Inner Mongolia, a part of China. Astonished officials say it then zoomed in to circle the airport before suddenly vanishing. Three flights from Chinese cities Beijing and Shanghai were diverted to nearby airports. It is the THIRD mysterious UFO sighting this year to have resulted in Chinese airfields being closed. Xiaoshan, in Zhejiang province, shut for a few days in July after an "oddly-shaped, twinkling bright light" was seen nearby. Another scare was reported earlier in the summer at Hong Kong. The latest UFO was spotted by air traffic controllers in Inner Mongolia's capital Hoot on radar screens. But they could not make radio contact with it and immediately warned Bootee. A spokeswoman said: "To guarantee security, aircraft had to land at secondary airports. Otherwise, it may have led to collision." The airport was closed for around an hour last month. The Chinese authorities have refused to comment but some experts believe the three sightings could be evidence of a new Chinese military aircraft.

COLONEL: I SAW NUKE SITE UFO.

RAF base ... Bentwaters Assignments

A RETIRED US air force officer yesterday made dramatic claims about a famous British UFO scare. Colonel Charles Halt insisted he saw a "bright glowing object like an eye" approach him and colleagues. They were patrolling RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk in 1980. The base was used to store nuclear weapons. Col Halt is among a group of ex-servicemen who insist Western governments are covering up widespread alien interventions at nuclear sites. His evidence supported sightings by US troops at the base used by American forces. Some reported seeing a "triangular, dark metallic" object that vanished at high speed. Col Halt, who retired in 1991, said in Washington yesterday he later found depressions in the ground where the craft landed and high radiation levels. UFO expert Robert Hastings said there was evidence going back 60 years of aliens observing nuke development. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3155808/Colonel-I-saw-nuke-siteUFO.html#ixzz11cn4m1IX

UK SCHOOLS DOING UFO CRASH DRILLS

By Lounge Daddy, 10 October, 2010,

There seems to be a growing trend among schools to stage a UFO crash, and then teach students how to react, as well as to properly investigate and report on the incident. It sounds like a lot of fun, and a great way to fire up a students imagination as well as writing skills. Hell, I wish we would have done a staged UFO crash at my school. The latest UFO drill took place Wed, Sept 29, at Sandford Primary School in the UK. The kids were treated to a full UFO crash scenario that included wreckage, police tape, and real police officers. (Perhaps it was only lacking men from the government telling the children not to talk about what was seen.) Whats interesting is that police were on hand to show the children how to properly investigate the UFO crash site. Um, were any of the officers speaking from experience? A news article at The Weston Mercury elaborates on the role played by the officers: Teacher and organiser Victoria Shepherd said: PCSO Wright and PC Church were brilliant. They helped the children secure the scene and talked about what to do in an emergency, how they gathered evidence, how to interview witnesses etc. Are UFO drills becoming something of a routine part of the curriculum in the UK? Its certainly becoming more and more of a common event. Each time, its a joint exercise put in place by the school and local law enforcement. A similar drill took place in Feb of 2009 when Lanchester Endowed Parochial Primary, in County Durham, staged a surprise crash behind the school. In Sept 2008 children from an Edgware school were made to believe aliens had landed in their playground by teachers and police. Again, each time it was conducted by the school system and police teaching children what to do in event of a UFO event. Afterward, the kids are asked to write about their experience. -0-
