In the UK a department within the Ministry of Defence that investigated UFO sightings has been terminated.
But after more than 11,000 sightings spawning countless conspiracy theories, the department has been scrapped. The UFO hotline is no more. In these tough economic times the MoD concluded that investigating UFO sightings can no longer be justified.
Are we alone in the universe? The MoD doesn't care any more. When you ring the old hotline number, you get a terse recorded message, which you can listen to here: Listen!
"Please note it is no longer MoD policy to record, respond to, or investigate UFO sightings," it says.
“Responding to reported UFO sightings diverts MOD resources from tasks that are relevant to Defence”.
