Defence officials' insulting remarks about the public had to be blanked out of government UFO files before they were made public, a memo has revealed.
The Ministry of Defence had agreed to publish its full archive of reported sightings in response to a deluge of Freedom of Information Act requests.
But the once-secret memo, published on its website, reveals "uncomplimentary comments" were edited out.
Comments on international relations and defence technology were also deleted.
Thousands of pages from the department's UFO files have been released through the National Archives since 2008, revealing details of reported flying objects and encounters with aliens.

So they say. The notes could just as easily be correlation codes for filing patterns of sightings they’ve verified as legitimate. They’d blackout those codes before public release, so as not to give away the fact that they acknowledge legitimacy. Then to make sure of the coverup, they declare that the blackouts are insults scribbled in the margins by the investigators towards the witnesses.

Keeping things hidden is what they're good at.

MoD? I thought this was a Maureen Dowd thread and there would be Catherine Zeta Jones pics.
