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.

  1. The photo is unrealistic by Profane+MuthaFucka · · Score: 4, Funny

    First, the airplane is a MiG-21, which would definitely not be in the RAF. Maybe that should be a photo of a Eurofighter or a Tornado. And second, the UFO is rounded with a high dome, indicating a Rigellian spacecraft. Everybody knows that those assholes can't be bothered to explore a water-oxygen world that they can't even live on. The photo should have included the cigar shaped Antaran spacecraft.
