Top Secret! British Government about UFOs “There is no doubt that something very unusual happened that day.”

“What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?” Sir Winston Churchill – July 1952

UFO reportings from the past are released by the British government. A shocking incident from 1956 was kept top secret up to 1988:

“The most impressive case in this particular collection actually happened at the height of the Cold War, one dark night either in 1956 or 1957. The reason this case didn’t emerge until the 1980s was that the pilot involved was a member of the USAF [United States Air Force] 406th Fighter-Bomber wing. He didn’t actually talk about what had happened until 32 years later when he returned to the base – RAF Manston in Kent – where the incident occurred. He was there for a reunion and met up with some of his colleagues from that time where they started talking about their experiences.

On this particular night, at the height of the Cold War, shortly after the Suez Crisis and the invasion of Hungary, the pilot was on 24 hour alert, ready to be scrambled in case there were any hostile movements of Soviet aircraft. He was ordered to scramble at short notice around midnight. It was a dark night, typical English weather. He was scrambled to a position that he recalls as being 32,000 feet over the East Anglian countryside. He was told by an RAF ground controller that they had been watching a mysterious object and mysterious movements on radar, for some time. The pilot was then sent to intercept this thing and find out what it was.

An unusual mission in some respects, but it was to get even stranger. He was guided to where this thing was seen on radar from the ground and when he got within 15 miles of this mysterious object, his own airborne radar was then able to lock onto it. He turned towards it and was asked if he could see anything visually. He peered out of the cockpit but he could see nothing, just dark clouds. The pilot had got within 15 miles of this thing, had a lock on his radar and he said that this object was very clear on his radar scope, that it was huge, the size of a B-52 bomber, with absolutely no doubt that there was something there.

The next thing that happened was that he was ordered, from the ground, to arm his aircraft and fire a full salvo of his rockets – he had 24 of these things, quite deadly weapons. He was really surprised and shocked to be told he had to do this because he had never before been ordered to shoot anything down, particularly an aircraft that was unidentified. Remember that this was over East Anglia at the time, very unusual. So he queried the order and within a few seconds this was confirmed from the ground. As he was selecting his weapons, this thing that had been captured on radar suddenly started moving, and disappeared from the scope. He reported this back to ground control and they said it had disappeared from their scopes as well, at a fantastic speed.

That was the end of the mission as far as he was concerned so he returned to RAF Manston. He spoke to ground control and they said he would be debriefed. The next day someone arrived from London, clearly another American, someone from one of the National Security Agencies. He was told in no uncertain terms that what he had seen on his radar was top secret and he wasn’t to speak about it to anyone about it. He was warned that if he did break his security oath then he would be grounded, which for a pilot was the worst thing that could happen. He therefore kept quiet for 32 years. It wasn’t until 1988 that he finally decided to talk about it.”
