British UFO Cover-Up?
The British Ministry of Defence recently released numerous documents related to the UFO sightings which appeared in the United Kingdom over the course of the last decades.
However, the UFO experts quickly observed that one of the most important documents is missing, which is covers the Rendlesham Forest Incident. Think of it as the British “Roswell Incident” if you will. The incident relates to a report published by U.S. servicemen at Royal Air Force in which they stated that they have seen mysterious lights over Woodbridge in Suffolk. The incident happened in 1980. More than 8,000 documents were released, and this one was the only one missing, according to the UFO experts. Of course, they believe that the reason why the file is missing is because of a governmental conspiracy, and they are sure that aliens actually visited our planet. David Clarke, who is the author of “The UFO Files: The Inside Story of Real-Life Sightings”, said that these particular files were not destroyed on purpose, but that the files belonging to a certain period of time were destroyed; more precisely the ones between 1980 and 1982.
According to Clarke, various files which had the topic of this incident were already released. He is convinced that those files contained the exact same information as the ones which were destroyed. He does not believe that the government destroyed the files because they contained something important; on the contrary, he believes that the files were destroyed because they did not have important information in them. If they would have been important, it is very likely that the government might have kept them. He said that there are many people who make a fuss about this, but what the majority of the people do not know is the fact that the majority of the files which are stored by the British government are destroyed when they are first reviewed. This happens regardless of the subject, being it delicate such as this one or not. Prior to 1967 the government destroyed about 95 percent of the files they possessed once every 5 years. Since then, they review the files once every year, and then they destroy them at approximately the same percentage. The government destroys the files regardless of their importance or classification. Sure, some of them are secret, but the majority of them are regular files which are just outdated. It would be impossible for them to store all the files they posses because that would take too much and it would cost too much money.
There are two possibilities for why the documents were destroyed. It might be as Clarke said, that they contained useless information, or they might have contained extremely important information which would have been dangerous to release to the public. The opinions about it are split, but you have to admit that the second scenario sounds more interesting.
