Thanks much for your

FIRST HAND, PRIMARY SOURCE REPORT.

What do you think the red glow was about?

AIR Force Top Guns have already battled UFOs in the skies over Britain under a top-secret Government directive, a former senior insider has sensationally claimed.

Nick Pope - whose 21-year stint at the Ministry of Defence included three years on the UFO desk - told The Sun of the rules of engagement for the first time.

He claimed RAF pilots had fired at UFOs several times - but couldn't take them out.

And he added: "We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot down - with little effect to the UFO."

Mr Pope said the rules of engagement were drawn up after dozens of close encounters with suspect craft in British airspace.

RAF attacks on UFOs were "not automatic but happen when something in our airspace is deemed to be a threat".

Mr Pope said the orders had been issued under the highly classified directive since the early 1980s.

He also claimed credible UFO witness statements had come from dozens of near misses with planes, police helicopters and RAF jets in recent years.

The MoD did not comment.

“What do you think the red glow was about?”

I have no idea, nor do you. The difference is, I don’t wish it to be something extra terrestrial the way you do. I accept that it is not explained and there is not one scintilla of evidence it is extra terrestrial.

“FIRST HAND, PRIMARY SOURCE REPORT.”

When I did my Masters thesis on slave families I had to provide solid primary sources for any information which supported my thesis. I had lots of diaries and writings by slave owners in the Ante-bellum south claiming slaves were treated well. I could not rely on this data because a slave owner has a very clear point of view and is trying to promote his own agenda. I couldn’t use the writings of abolitionists because they also had a point of view and had an agenda of making slavery look as bad as possible.

Both were primary sources but of little value given their clear desire to promote an idea. This is precisely what you do. You post all kinds of writings by people who make no secret of the fact they believe in extra terrestrial visits, therefore their writings can be automatically dismissed as biased and not worthy of consideration in trying to prove extra terrestials.

The problem with what you call your 30 years of “study” is that it is not really study but just reading that which you already want to believe. When you see anything that challenges your point of view you dismiss it as a conspiracies by world firsters or coverups by the govt.

You still have not provided one bit of valid evidence for what you claim. Not one single tiny bit.
