British "X-files" Released to Public
Smivs writes "Britain's Ministry of Defence has just released files regarding investigations into UFO sightings between 1978 to 1987. Over the next three or four years, 160 files will be handed over to the
National Archives. The first group of eight files, one of which is more than 450 pages long,
is available today.
The Guardian newspaper details many of the events in question, some interesting and many just bizarre.
A similar release of UFO files by France's national space agency last year attracted more than 220,000 users on its first day, causing it to crash. To avoid such problems, the National Archives is using an external hosting company which can add extra capacity as needed to handle the web traffic."
I thought the British X-Files was called 'Torchwood'?

The suit is a decoy. You need to follow the pyjamas.
Finally! Undeniable proof in the existance of Santa Claus! I knew it!
What are you saying? Religion is really behind all the probing of young boys? We already knew that.
What if it is just turtles all the way down?
The truth really IS out there...and in an easy to read digital format, too!

But all the good stuff is blacked out so what is the point?
Prediction: The real iPhone killer is going to be sex robots from Japan. Think about it.
Well I was once abducted by alien babes from planet hot and they had their way with me for science on their own planet.
The sad thing is I woke up lying in my own bed
That's exactly what they want us to think -- can't believe you fell for it.
Yes. The pattern leads you to being one of the ufo nuts.

Modern copyright is theft of culture from everyone and it retards the progress of the useful arts and sciences.

I dont buy it. Theyre just showing us pictures of aliens because they dont want to tell us what they REALLY found.

The problem with saying that people get their ideas about what the government does from movies is that the underlying assumption is that the government doesn't get them from the same place.
I'm a concientious
Way back in a previous life, when I was a USAF Recruiter working out of the Reno, Nevada office on Moana Lane, I would occasionally get a UFO report from an excited member of the public. The recruiting office was the only number listed under U.S. Air Force in the Reno phone book because the nearest Air Force base was located across the Sierra Nevada mountains in Sacramento, California.
At first, I tried to explain that the local Air Force recruiting office wasn't the right place to report a UFO sighting, but then I realized what a gift these calls were.
From then on, whenever a UFO report came in, I got as excited as the caller, asking them for details, etc. Then I explained I wasn't the correct office to report UFOs to and then gave them the number to the Nevada Air National Guard's base operations office.
And I always told the caller to not take "no" as answer from whoever answered the phone.
What?
When I have a kid, I want to put him in one of those strollers for twins and then run around the mall looking frantic.
I always thought it stood for "Active Server Pages", silly me.

Having been forced to code in ASP and ASP.NET many times, I've never been able to make it lucid, either. It has seemed like a bad, waking dream MANY times however.
No alien civilization is expending the mammoth amount of resources needed to traverse the vast distances of interstellar space just to stick a probe up your ass. Deal with it.
One of the greatest moments in the history of TV occurred on a show I can't even remember now, though it was probably an old episode of the Daily Show.
The show featured three different and independent UFO crazies who all claimed to have had close contact with aliens, and it brought them together to tell their tales.
One of the guys claimed that he had been abducted and raped on a repeated basis. Not probed, raped, because the aliens intent was to impregnate him with their alien eggs, and I guess the human rectum was a viable implantation spot.
One of the other crazies, who if I recall claimed that she had seen aliens wandering around the woods by her house, chimed in to say something along the lines of "That's just silly; nobody is gonna travel half way across the galaxy just to have anal sex with you."
How do you know you're a true UFO crazy? When another UFO crazy tells you off for being too damn crazy! Oh man I about died that day; and it would have been okay because my life was complete.
