yep, i was listening to Nick Pope on talksport the other night and he stated that the MOD had now cordoned off the site.

Looks like at the least, the MOD are actively looking into this sighting which in my opinon is a good thing

May be pressure from the newspapers on the case, but we never seen the MOD getting involved with the Guernsey UFO sighting which was a lot more prominent.

We may be on to something with this one.

just one question : if this claim is true - why was the site left unguarded for 6 days ?

My guess would be, they were hoping it was going to die down and go away, but it's had world wide coverage, and I promise you, somewhere on Planet earth there will be several people heading that way for a look see.

I remember at a conference once, one of the lecturers said it would probably be something really daft and stupid, which could blow the lid off the whole deal, and nobody ever has an accident on purpose (unless their up to no good) so a silly mistake like flying into a windmill would definitely qualify IMO

Fingers crossed and hoping, I bet the skeptics are tearing their hair out, nobody knows anything on this one, not outside a laboratory anyhow.
