RAF pilots have tried to BLAST UFOs out of the sky under a top secret Government directive, it was claimed last night.

Nick Pope ? who worked on the Ministry of Defence?s UFO desk for three years ? revealed the rules of engagement for the first time.

He claimed RAF pilots had fired at UFOs on several occasions ? but failed to bring them down.

He added: ?We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot down ? with little effect to the UFO.?

Mr Pope said the rules of engagement were drawn up after dozens of close encounters with suspect craft in British airspace.

RAF attacks on UFOs were ?not automatic but happen when something in our airspace is deemed to be a threat?.

UFOs are not necessarily piloted by aliens.

The Fox article is a reprint of the Sun one. Of equal importance to the Sun:
Some woman involved with Prince William is orange due to self tanning lotion.
Mini Me and other stars checking out women's cleavage.
Russell Brand (I have no idea who he is) was seen with two blondes.

Clearly the highest echelons of journalism.

any newspaper that has a topless chick on page 3 everyday is #1 in my book.

If there were aliens ufos here you would figure they would be so technologically advanced that our modern weapons wouldn't phase them

The British are simply trying to horn in on Roswell, New Mexico tourism business. Protect the American economy, don't fall for that chimera.

Where's Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum when we need them??!

The British have been shooting down UFOs for years.

See this documentary serial for more info.

This will not be a good thread until K3N comments.

Exactly.

UFO = Unidentified flying object. Military speak for.. an unidentified flying object.

It's synonymous with alien aircraft in popular culture, but technically that's not really what the term implies.

I would find it more believable that Russia has a stealth spy plain with a missile interception defense system then aliens.

Which is why we'll invent phasers. Beam me up!

More likely human made but not of technology RAF pilots are privy to, or perhaps just atmospheric anomalies.

I will have your badge for breaking confidentiality, sir.

Scary thing here is that people in charge of attack aircraft believe that they actually fired on something from Mars. Get those people some help.

Usually the best thing is to know exactly what it is you're shooting at, or at least having a reason... Right? Why would they shoot at UFO's if they were just buzzing around? No, they've pissed some of the governments off, for some reason, and I would like to know why. I'd also like to know WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE.

What is it with these mother fuckers in our governments not telling us what the shit is going on? "Need to know" my ass, fuck any non-transparent government.

That is all.

 

[Skitzer]

This is not news!!! When they shoot one down let me know ...... that will be news!

We had a Belgian UFO wave at the end of the 80's

Belgian F-16's intercepted UFO

Wiki linky

I'm very sceptical but until today, the air force can still not explain what the hell happened that night.

 

[Fear No Evil]

I shot one down. It had a source of limitless power on it. I sold it to the oil companies though for a gas card with unlimited credit. Seemed like a fair trade to me.
