Web User: MoD releases secret UFO files

Information about further sightings of UFOs has been put online by the National Archives. One incident recorded in 1991 took place near Lydd in Kent - the captain of an Alitalia plane reported seeing a brown, missile-like shape overhead on his approach to Heathrow. Achille Zaghetti even told investigators that he shouted "look out!" to his co-pilot, who also saw the strange object. Air Traffic Control also reported "an unknown target" close to the plane and a local boy claimed to have seen a low-flying missile in the area that day. The Ministry of Defence denied that the object was of military origin and treated it as an unidentified flying object. It's not the first time UFO files have been made available by the National Archives. Searches for UFOs have increased dramatically whenever new files go online. Attracting the interest of surfers with fake UFO reports is also a favourite tactic of cybercriminals. www.nationalarchives.gov.uk
