RAF Ordered to Shoot Down UFOs

Pilots in the RAF have fired upon unidentified objects without success since the 1980s, according to Nick Pope, who used to run the Ministry of Defence's UFO project. "There was a faction in the MoD who said 'We want to shoot down a UFO and that will resolve the issue one way or another. We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot down - with little effect to the UFO," he says. The MoD refused to comment. While not making the best first impression on our alien visitors, this policy assures that the British won't end up in a cookbook.

these people are the kind of people who deserve the thick stick treatment. get a load of that - some ALIEN visitor, definitely of SUPERIOR technology may be coming to earth. and, you order the planes to 'shoot them down' to 'clear the issue'. EVEN if its a 1% probability, imagine shooting down of the first visiting ship of a technologically superior race. If their laws and understanding is anything like our shitface civilization, that deserves a planetary whacking in response.

that kind of morons. trademark of britain since thatcher (tm).
