Britain Opens Up Secret UFO Files
The men were air traffic controllers. Experienced, calm professionals. Nobody was drinking.
What they saw has never been explained. And they were so worried about losing their jobs that they demanded their names be kept off the official reports.
No one, they knew, would believe their claim that an unidentified flying object landed at the airfield they were overseeing in the east of England, touched down briefly, then took off again at tremendous speed.
But that’s what they reported happening at four in the afternoon on April 19, 1984, at an unspecified small airport near the eastern coast of England.
Their “Report of Unusual Aerial Phenomenon” is one of more than 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents released Wednesday by Britain’s National Archives.
