UFO Article:
“The Cosford Incident”


By Nick Pope

Quote from the article:
“On 30 and 31 March 1993 there was a series of UFO sightings in the UK involving over a hundred witnesses. Many of these were police officers and military personnel. The UFO also flew directly over two RAF bases [RAF Cosford and RAF Shawbury]. What follows is the extraordinary story of what has been dubbed The British UFO Mystery.

Conclusion

Given the MOD’s ‘no defence significance’ conclusion on UFOs, it seems fitting to conclude with quotes from MOD documents which contradict the usual stance. In a briefing that I prepared for my Head of Division on 16 April 1993 I wrote:

‘It seems that an unidentified object of unknown origin was operating in the UK Air Defence Region without being detected on radar; this would appear to be of considerable defence significance, and I recommend that we investigate further, within MOD or with the US authorities.’

My Head of Division was normally sceptical about the UFO phenomenon, but on this occasion he agreed with my conclusion. His 22 April 1993 brief to the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (one of the UK’s most senior RAF officers) stated:

‘In summary, there would seem to be some evidence on this occasion that an unidentified object (or objects) of unknown origin was operating over the UK.’

This is about as close the MOD will ever get to saying that there’s more to UFOs than misidentifications or hoaxes.”

I first reported about this article on 25 June 2010.
