A memo has revealed that the MoD will destroy future UFO reports received after keeping them for only 30 days.
The move will exempt the files from having to be released under freedom of information laws, the memo stated that an increase in the number of UFO reports received was diverting staff from more valuable matters related to defence.
The British UFO investigation unit and hotline were closed at the start of December. Since then reports have been kept for 30 days. It means that details of sightings will be exempt from freedom of information laws. The memo said that an increase in reports had diverted staff from “more valuable” defence-related activities. The MoD had 634 reports of sightings last year, the highest total since 1978.
