An image showing a UFO and an RAF jet released along with newly revealed Ministry of Defence documents shows that officials were more concerned with the possibility of secret weapons being developed by other countries than with alien visitation. The UFO in question had been sighted over Scotland near Pitlochery, Perthshire in 1990.
A photo of a UFO hovering next to an RAF jet over Scotland was treated seriously, newly-released Ministry of Defence files show. Officials briefed ministers on the sighting of a diamond-shaped object near Pitlochry, Perthshire, in 1990. A memo suggested the media be told "no definite conclusions" could be reached. The documents show officials were more concerned about secret weapons being developed by other countries rather than alien visitors. The sightings were brought to the attention of the MoD by the Daily Record newspaper. "

Why do they say there's a picture and then not have it to show? Doesn't that irritate you?

Why do they say there's a picture and then not have it to show? Doesn't that irritate you? It's a common occurance, but on the bright side, the picture in the article itself has that Tony Stark feel to it. Heh.

interesting ... as for the picture ? well the MoD must have seen it. probably has it. Military experts concluded the aircraft pictured was a Harrier, but could not identify the mystery object The memo noted there was no record of Harriers operating in the area at the time and suggested the media should be told: "no definite conclusions reached regarding large diamond-shaped object."

He meant the helmet in the picture. "Tony Stark" is Iron Man, the marvel superhero, and the helmet resembles the Iron Man character.
