British To Release UFO Files

Sean Stidman writes "Looks like the Brits are planning to release their secret files on many UFO sightings, including the famous Rendlesham Forest incident. These files should be ready for download by the end of this week, which I guess means by tomorrow. Are their servers going to be able to handle the load?"

    What? Now you don't trust governments? You watch too much television, or televiseur as the French would say.

    So, how does this work? You check the brits x-files, see no ET's and logically conclude that these have been "redacted out"?

    Next time i'll temper the sarcasm, sorry.

    You should give this page a read. It explains the whole story, from the initial reports down through the extremely reasonable explanations for all the allegedly weird events.

    It was just an optical illusion.

    Furthermore, I think it's a bit dismissive in this case to call it "just some object in the air", like it could be a weather balloon or swamp gas or something. This is an object that moves and behaves like no known terrestrial phenomenon.

    Except a light house.

    Someone had the common sense to go to the event site and look in the direction indicated by the report. Must have been a really cool-looking incongruity if you didn't recognize the illusion.

    The movie's called "The Groundhog day", or "Un jour sans fin" in french, because he's stuck in Punxutawney (sp ?) for the day when the groundhog goes out of his sleeping bag, and if he shall see his shadow, then the winter will last another few months, or so I believe ...
