UK UFO Study Says No Such Thing As ETs
Well, while I know many find it surprising, it’s no secret that I do not believe in extraterestrials, though I’m prepared to seriously eat my words should some show up some day in my lifetime. 
Anyway, apparently there was a confidential 4-year study done by the Ministry of Defence in the UK on Unidentified Flying Objects completed back in 2000 and stamped “Secret: UK Eyes Only.” The study was entiled “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK” and tackles the long-running question by UFO-spotters: “Is anyone out there?”
The 400-page answer is “no.”
But what about all of those “close encounters?
“Evidence suggests that meteors and their well-known effects and, possibly some other less-known effects are responsible for some unidentified aerial phenomena,” concludes the report.
Meteors may have been responsible for some UFO sightings“Considerable evidence exists to support the thesis that the events are almost certainly attributable to physical, electrical and magnetic phenomena in the atmosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere.
“They appear to originate due to more than one set of weather and electrically charged conditions, and are observed so infrequently as to make them unique to the majority of observers.”
People who claim to have had a “close encounter” are often difficult to persuade that they did not really see what they thought they saw. The report offers a possible medical explanation.
“The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person,” states the report. [“UFO study finds no sign of aliens” (BBC News)]
“Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced.”
Only a small number of copies of the report were originally produced and the identity of the man who wrote it has been protected. Interestingly the report itself has only just been made public for the first time due to The Freedom of Information Act.
