The UK Government has hidden UFO files, according to this article.
The article reports on the UFO investigation of Welsh research chemist Dr. Colin Ridyard:

For a long time Dr. Ridyard had tried unsuccessfully to get hold of UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) documents relating to UFO sightings by UK pilots or radar operators between July 1998 and July 1999.
After having been helped by parliamentary Ombudsman Michael Buckley, Dr. Ridyard was successful in obtaining two MoD UFO reports.
And other UFO reports released by the Civil Aviation Authority revealed that there had been additional UFO sightings over the UK during that time period. The CAA said it reported two more UFO sightings to the MoD, neither of which the MoD disclosed.
