Britain pulls the plug on its UFO hotline

LONDON - Britain's military has closed a hotline that took reports of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, after determining that the money is better spent in Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Defense says that the phone service and an associated e-mail address were taken offline earlier this week, and said Friday that 50 years of UFO sightings had not revealed any evidence of alien life or threats to the U.K.

It said that there was "no defense value in investigating UFO reports" and that the money could better be used funding operations in Afghanistan....

The hotline was being used by the aliens to track down those that had witnessed them, and they received the most brutal probing. People were catching on and stopped reporting them, they’re all in on it man, all of them !!! /sarc

I worked for my apartment manager when I was in high school doing maintenance around the apartments.

a guy who lived below us went to jail (I don’t know what for). I had to clean his apartment after his family took all his belongings.

It was 100% foil lined- Floors, walls, ceilings, windows, doors. It took forever to clean it.

They need to pull the plug on the so-called science of global warming instead. UFO sitings are far more credible. I have no idea if they represent a threat or not, but it is a far bigger threat than global warming.

Out of hundreds of millions of planetary bodies in the universe, it is totally arrogant to think that our earth is the only one capable of supporting intelligent life.

While my thinking on the matter may be a product of the original Star Trek generation, I also think it is grounded in far more logic than a lot of other crap which passes for science these days.

Where was the apartment? Did he do a good job of foil lining? With all the kooks out there, I would think the apartment manager could have found one to rent it at a premium.

LOL! So the budget for troop deployment is exactly the same as the budget for a UFO hotline? And they will transfer 100% of that to their Afghanistan operation?

And I suppose there's no other low-hanging fruit in their budget, like funding for AGW research?

Depends on how one slices “threat!”

Since the global leaders have been cooperating wholesale with the critters for 60 years or so . . . it’s all one big happy family.

What is particularly mystifying about that . . . at least many officials in the government employ KNOW EMPHATICALLY that the critters chronically LIE, LIE, LIE.

Yet they believe them about many key horrific things—such as the need to depopulate the planet forceably. Crazy.

Rendlesham Forest convinced many that technologically they were a huge threat—with their capacity to neutralize and even retarget our nukes! . . . it’s just that . . . unless we aggressively assaulted their craft . . . they didn’t particularly show themselves hostile. Besides, as noted . . . they were already ON THE TEAM of the globalists running things. One happy ‘Federation Family.’

Just some minor details to tend to . . . like reducing the planet’s population to 200 million ASAP . . . coerce the whole shebang into a satanic global government . . .

no threat at all.

Staples for tinfoil aren’t cool. But in a nuthouse like Portland, Oregon, I’m surprised the landlord didn’t try to find another nutty tenant. Maybe the guy did enough damage that he simply wasn’t willing to take the risk.
