LONDON — The truth – and the UFOs – may be out there, but nobody in the British military is listening anymore.
The Defence Ministry has quietly shut down its UFO hot line as a cost-cutting measure and will no longer investigate any sightings. Veterans of such investigations more worthy of “The X-Files” say it will end work on one of the biggest mysteries of all time.
No longer will Britons who think they’ve seen flying saucers be able to enlist the services of Her Majesty’s armed forces.
This week’s closing of the ministry’s hot line and its email account, as well as its statement that it “will no longer respond to reported UFO sightings or investigate them,” has angered many Britons who believe such research is vital.
