"The consequences of getting this one wrong could be huge," he said.

"If you reported a UFO sighting now, I am absolutely sure that you would just get back a standard letter telling you not to worry.

"Frankly we are wide open - if something does not behave like a conventional aircraft now, it will be ignored.

"The X-Files have been closed down."

Mr Pope said those working for the MoD UFO project spend their time releasing formerly classified documents in answer to Freedom of Information requests from the media or members of the public.

The UFO expert resigned from his MoD post at the Directorate of Defence Security this week.

He said there was no evidence of UFO hostile intent - but it could not be ruled out.

"There has got to be the potential for that and one is left with the uneasy feeling that if it turned out to be so, there is very little we could do about it," he said.

"If you believe these things are extra terrestrial craft then you cannot rule out that what is happening is some kind of covert reconnaissance."

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence insisted that all UFO sightings were investigated for "evidence to suggest that UK airspace has been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity".

She said: "Unless there is such evidence, the MoD doesn't attempt to positively identify what was seen."

And you can be sure that if they have the intelligence (though not necessarily the good judgement ) to fly from a distant star to here, then Blair and Bush will be the first ones to be zapped.

I'd also like to take this opportunity, in case our intergalactic friends are logged in to SV650.org, to say that whatever plans they have are fine with us, and we don't wish to be any trouble, but could they just remove all the UK speed cameras and physically insert them into local government employees working in the highways and roads planning departments — if that would be okay.

If we start a petition now they might raise the NSL to Warp 8.

Just as a matter of interest; do foo fighters have number plates, and if so how big are they?

Oh an what do the zausts sound like?

2 things you must remember here...
If they are aliens and they have survived long enough with there advanced technology not to destroy them self's in a pointless war, the way we are going, then its probably a good thing and they will be all-knowing, intelligent and friendly. So might just say stuff that lot, let them wipe them self's out and we can have whats left.
Or
They will be the bitter angry resource sucking race off left over war mongering aliens looking for a planet and bodies to use to replace there own destroyed home and mutilated bodies. In which case we are screwed any way.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

We've always got Will Smith to look out for us!



If Aliens did land on Earth, isn't about time they gave back Elvis!

Nah! I used to! But Health and Safety legislation deemed it too dangerous for space pilots of the future to fly too many hours whilst dealing with our extra terrestrial enemies.

Though I am now allowed to wear a Hi-Vis vest over my uniform.
