The Real British X-Files

Posted by timothy on from the welcome-to-june-people-of-england dept.

blakeharris snips from a site called The X-Journals: "Nick Pope used to work for the British Ministry of Defense and for 3 years headed up their UFO project. His remit was to investigate UFO sightings reported to the British government, looking for evidence of any potential threat, or anything judged to be of any 'defence significance.'" Some very interesting anecdotes in here, as well as some background on how certain files about these sightings came to be preserved in the first place.

      Because you spent all your money on hard disk space to fill with warez and pr0n, and so only have a 333MHz celeron to execute slashdot's 2.3 million lines of javascript.
