UFO over military bases in 1993

Summary

This declassified document from the UK Ministry of Defence reveals multiple reports of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings in March 1993, including an incident where a UFO was observed by security patrols at RAF Cosford and a meteorological officer at RAF Shawbury. According to the report, the object was triangular, large in size, and emitted a beam of light scanning a nearby field. The document also includes testimonies from civilian and military witnesses, describing bright lights, unusual shapes, and non-conventional behaviors. Although the request was processed under the Freedom of Information Act, some key documents, such as a letter sent to the US Embassy, were missing, likely destroyed after the administrative retention period expired. The file shows how the Ministry of Defence handled these reports, removing personal data and classifying unresolved cases.
