Bizarre UFO witnessed at RAF Boulmer - July, 1977.

More British reports from around the same time as the RAF Boulmer incident:

The events at Boulmer were not the first that year. In May dozens of UFO reports were made by people in Humberside and Lincolnshire to local police and MPs. But the most puzzling report has remained secret until now. At 10.20 on the night of 21 May three airmen at RAF Waddington, where a squadron of nuclear-armed Vulcan bombers were based, saw a “triangular shaped” white light moving erratically overhead. Minutes later the duty controller RAF Patrington tracked a “unidentified contact” moving in a zig-zag fashion in a similar direction. Radars at Waddington also “saw” the UFO for a period of four minutes before their screens were “partially obliterated by high powered interference which subsided when [the UFO] disappeared.”

A report on the case said the equipment was working normally both before and after the UFO appeared. The results of the investigation are not on public record, at least in the files of S4f (Air) who were the MoD’s “X-files unit” at the time. S4 was the civilian MoD branch that, so we have been led to believe, was the single focus for all UFO reports made to the British Government at that time.

I'm aware of Channel Five programming in the UK -do you recall the name of the series as there are a few sites out there which might have it.

I've mentioned this before but worth repeating, as it sort of dovetails with the extra 3 year thing. I was told by a person, after a dinner party that.

"There are a number of UFO incidents, from Britain, that have never been made public at all".

Firemoon, can well believe that one mate and it could be argued the MOD's new 'official policy' fits in quite well with internal, non public investigations.


British Ministry of Defense will no longer investigate UFO reports
