British UFO Files

Summary

This document contains declassified records from the British Ministry of Defence regarding UFO sightings from the 1960s to the early 1980s. It includes witness reports, official responses to parliamentary questions, and internal discussions on how to handle these reports. It reveals that most sightings are attributed to natural phenomena or perceptual errors, and the Ministry does not consider UFOs a national security threat. It also mentions that files prior to 1967 were destroyed, which has drawn criticism from independent researchers. The text shows how authorities handled these cases with skepticism, focusing solely on airspace security concerns.
