Britain's X Files: RAF suspected aliens of "tourist" visits to Earth

The book gives new insights into an incident known as "Britain's Roswell" as well as the belief in UFOs by high ranking defence officials. Project Condign Documents in the files reveal that there were high level defence officials in the 1990s who believed UFOs could be spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrials who could even be conducting "tourist" visits to earth. In 1993, an RAF Wing Commander lobbied MoD officials about the need for a properly funded study. He told them: "The national security implications (of UFOs) are considerable. We have many reports of strange objects in the skies and have never investigated them." He added: "If the sightings are of devices not of earth then their purpose needs to be established as a matter of priority. There has been no apparently hostile intent and other possibilities are: (1) military reconnaissance, (2) scientific, (3) tourism."

Any creatures who would travel across the galaxy to see Big Ben and have fish and chips is of questionable intelligence. They may of been in Britain for some time for alien interbreeding would certainly explain Prince Charles. The Queen may of seemed "hot" to beings from another planet.

LOL! Prince Charles walks into a pub and the bartender asks ....

I once met a man named Zaphod Beebelbrox at a fashionable pub in Chelsea. He claimed he was from the Orion Nebula and was visiting Earth on holiday. Just popped in for a pint you see.

Given a few pints of Old Specked Hen I can see how some members of the RAF could come to some pretty strange conclusions.

Imagine earth being some sort of intergalactic Wall Drug

...the bartender asks, “Whats this? You can't ride your horse in here!
Charles turns around and says, “Sorry we'll have to have sex at home tonight Camilla.”

I have often wondered who buys all this stuff at garage sales.

[milagro]

And “EARTH” coffee cups.

[milagro]

The Beebelbrox family?

Agreed. That's why I always get off the plane, pick up a rental car and head for Devon and Cornwall.

There’s only a handful of stars that are between 4 and 12 light years away from Earth, and none of them have inhabitable planets. So let’s say we want to visit a star 12 light years away:

At the speed of light it will take 12 years to get there. At twice the speed of light, 6 years. At four times the speed of light, 3 years. At eight times the speed of light, a year and a half. And at sixteen times the speed of light, nine months. At thirty-two times the speed of light, four and a half months. At sixty-four times the speed of light, nine weeks. At a hundred and twenty-eight times the speed of light, four and a half weeks.

At 256 times the speed of light, two weeks and two days. At 512 times the speed of light, eight days. At 1024 times the speed of light, four days. At 2048 times the speed of light, two days.

Finally, traveling at four thousand, ninety-six times the speed of light, we can get practically next door in space, in just a single day.

But right now, the closest possible star that might have a habitable planet, is a dwarf star 20 light-years from Earth called Gliese 581. And it probably doesn’t actually have life, but it is vaguely like Earth in some ways.

if you really get going fast, you would have already been there without allthe hassle of landing and stuff like that!!
