Winston Churchill Ordered Ufo Cover-up

It seems that the UK government took the threat of UFOs and the possible threat of alien invasion from outer space very seriously.

Latest released files show that the British government were so concerned of a UK possible alien threat from beyond our atmosphere that chief UK intelligence officials met to discuss any possibility of an invasion.

The government ministers also ordered that a weekly report be produced on any UFO sightings by intelligence experts.

The latest archives also show that wartime prime minister, Winston Churchill, was so concerned about UFO sightings that he ordered a UFO sighting to be kept strictly under wraps to prevent any wide spread panic by the British public.

The latest report also shows that UFO reports were at a high in 1996 and coincided with the popular TV show “The X Files”.

The report was compiled by the Joint Intelligence Committee and they were usually a team that would brief government heads on matters that related to national security to the UK. It also covered areas such as overseas affairs and defence.

However the latest reports of alleged UFO sightings which have recently been released by the Ministry of Defence to the National Archive state that the government were privy to reports of UFO sightings at an average of one per week.

The most startling revelation also shows that Winston Churchill stated in a wartime meeting that he was so concerned regarding a UFO encounter with RAF bombers, that he ordered the incident to be kept top secret for at least 50 years. This he stated was to avoid widespread panic amongst British citizens and possible overseas countries.

Churchill it seems regarding the UFO “threat” as a serious concern.

X Files

One ex-government official was employed to investigate UFOs for the Ministry of Defence. Nick Pope has become somewhat of a famous name for those interested in the phenomena of UFOs and aliens from another world and his years at the MoD uncovered some interesting tales. However, Pope claims that most of the documented files from the time of Churchill would have been destroyed.

Pope claims that Churchill and Eisenhower met to discuss the UFO “threat” and agreed to cover up the UFO sighting that was witnessed by the RAF bombing crew that were returning from a raid. Pope claims that Churchill believed that if such a report was leaked to the UK public and the world, it could possibly damage any religious views people had and could cause mass hysteria.

The popular show “The X-Files” also contributed to increased sightings in 1996. Over 600 reports of UFO sightings were reported and this compared to an average of 240 reports per year in the previous five years. 

Pope states that in 1996 609 sightings were documented and 343 letters of “concern” were sent to the MoD. This included 22 enquiries regarding the UFO phenomena by MPs.

However, in 2009 the UFO Inquiry Desk at the Ministry of Defence had been closed. In the latest reports at least four incidents regarding UFOs in British airspace were classified as “unexplained”.

Spaceman and Other Incidents

Also in the latest released documents is the report regarding the famous ”Welsh Roswell” , which occurred in 1974. In this encounter, members of the public had reported seeing lights in the sky and also felt a tremor in the ground.

Other cases that were included in the files are:

• A close miss with an “unidentified object” which was reported by the captain and first officer of a 737 plane. The aircraft was approaching Manchester Airport and the incident took place in 1995.
• In 1974, a mountain rescue team were called to investigate a possible “crashed UFO”. This was in the Berwyn Mountains in Wales.
• Another incident was the alleged attempted break-ins at RAF Rudloe Manor, based in Wiltshire. This place was notoriously known as Britain’s “Area 51″ , the equivalent to the United States famous secretive desert military base in Nevada.
• One incident was referred to as “The Western Isles incident”. Here a loud explosion was reported in the sky and over the Atlantic and took place in the Outer Hebrides.
• The Blue Streak missile test, which took place in 1964, had 14 minutes of film “missing” and apparently showed a “spaceman” observing the test.

The latest documents released are files from over 5,000 pages of UFO related reports and include various drawings, letters and questions from the public as well as by MPs.

Perhaps the government of the UK will release more “findings”. However, it appears that the UFO “threat” continues to live on well into the 21st century.
