Following my report about UFO sightings released to the National Archive a few days ago, how sad was I then to see a couple of days later (as reported in The Telegraph) that now these reports are going to be put in the bin!

Apparently the Ministry of Defence in the UK is going to destroy all reports after 30 days because it takes up too much of their time and resources. There were 634 UFO sightings recorded in 2009, the highest total since 1978, but just at a time when the numbers are increasing they have decided that they are no longer important enough to deal with! Incidently, the US Dept of Defence stopped collecting reports of sightings way back in 1969.
