“ONE of Britain
In a book A Deadly Concealment, to be published next year, author Derek
Sheffield tells how on March 30, 1990, four [NATO] air defence radar stations,
three in Belgium and one in Germany, tracked a fast-moving triangular craft
across Western Europe.
At one stage, it came within six minutes of entering UK
Two F-16 fighters from the Belgian Air Force were scrambled to intercept
the target but could not keep up with it.
Mr Sheffield says the Ministry of Defence denies any knowledge of the
incident despite his claims that British-based tracking stations would
automatically have been alerted.
That view is shared by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton, who
between 1974 and 1977 was the chairman of [NATO’s] military Committee.
Lord Hill-Norton said: ‘The fact is that, if these European tracking
stations detected a UFO, two fighters were sent up to intercept it and it came
to be six minutes from British airspace, there is no doubt in my mind that the
UK air defence organisation would automatically know about it.’ ”

countries. The organization implements the North Atlantic Treaty that was
signed on 4 April 1949.[3][4] NATO constitutes a system of collective defence
whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an
