[former] Prime Minister Tony Blair was briefed on the UK's files about UFO sightings in 1998, newly declassified MoD documents have revealed.
The declassified documents - from the MoD unit which investigated UFO claims from 1950 until it was shut down in 2009 - also include several sightings and investigations.
These include:
Dr David Clarke
A spate of sightings in west Wales in 1977 which included a hotel owner reportedly seeing two tall, silver-suited "faceless humanoids" which began making measurements
A UFO sighting in Spalding, Lincolnshire, which led to the witness being visited by three tall men in black suits who "seemed to move silently"
An RAF Air Commodore describing in a memo to Defence Intelligence Staff that he had seen a UFO flying above him when he was flying at 40,000 feet
A mounted police officer seeing a "square/diamond shaped object moving across the sky and changing shape" whilst on duty at Chelsea FC ground in 1999
A memo noting claims the naval task force sailing to liberate the Falklands in 1982 had been shadowed by UFOs - "presumably Little Green Men in ponchos"

Unless you were in the "need to know" catagory , you wouldn't have a clue who has or hasn't been briefed .
What makes you think you are privvy to such information ? and why would you dismiss any claims that others have been briefed ?
edit on 12-7-2012 by dawnprince because: (no reason given)
I certainly cannot recall ever hearing that any Canadian PM has been briefed on UFOs. And I also cannot recall hearing if any US president in recent memory has been briefed. So I do think it is noteworthy that Blair was briefed in 1998.

Ok i'll rephrase it , just for you .
Why do you think you would get to hear if ANYBODY had been briefed ? it's not something that is generally made known to the general public .
I certainly cannot recall ever hearing that any Canadian PM has been briefed on UFOs. And I also cannot recall hearing if any US president in recent memory has been briefed.

This is what you wrote.

Now, why do you think that you would get to hear of such things ? My question is simple and straight forward .
Would you care to answer it in such a way ?
