Lets face it......do you really think Britain will really disclose ALL of it's UFO files? NO. Do you think France really disclosed ALL of it's UFO files? NO. So although it is a good thing, it's not 100% complete UFO disclosure. It's not everything they know about and have obtained over the past 50+ years.

what im trying to say is, does it not seem weird how suddenly lots of places are suddenly releasing information about alien contact?

Is this being reported on mainstream yet?
From the Guardian article
The Ministry of Defence plans to open its "X-Files" on UFO sightings to the public for the first time. Officials have not yet decided on a date for the release of the reports, which date back to 1967, but it is hoped to be within weeks.
From the Guardian article
David Clarke, a lecturer in journalism at Sheffield Hallam University and author of Flying Saucerers: A Social History of UFOlogy, said opening the MoD's files would make it harder to sustain the idea that evidence for the existence of aliens has been suppressed. "The more of this stuff that they put on their website or put in the national archives, the less it will cost the taxpayer, because at the moment people are writing in about individual incidents and they are having respond," said Dr Clarke, referring to requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
The documents due for release are witness reports of apparent UFO sightings, many by civil pilots and military personnel. Most were simply collected and filed by a small, secret unit within defence intelligence called DI55. A few are thought to have been investigated further by the military, but the details have never been made public. There are 24 files due for release, each containing 200-300 reports of sightings, plus internal MoD briefings and correspondence.
it seems unlikely that any true conspiracy theorist worth his tinfoil hat would be pacified by anything short of spaceships and dead aliens on display in the Science Museum - and even then there would surely be some asserting that the real good stuff was being kept hidden.
Well, as far as the files are concerned, I think it’s highly likely that we’ll see some interesting reports; simply because most of the older files contain interesting reports too.
Granted, most of the stuff that the MoD has released tends to be “lights in the sky” type stuff.
But every so often there will be something interesting - a pilot report, a radar report, a vehicle interference case etc.
I think what will be lacking, however, is any sort of deep analysis by the Ministry of Defense.
Seems for the most part they didn’t dig deep to resolve the issue of what it was that people saw, once they ruled out “national security” concerns.
The thing that those not aware of the situation need to remember is that the MoD has never had a Project Blue Book type group that is specifically designed to investigate UFOs as such.
Determining what UFOs were or are was never a part of tbe MoD’s agenda. If the relevant case in question did’t affect national security, the MoD just filed it away.
But from a UFO researcher perspective, it’s quite probable I think, that there are going to be some good nuggets of info in there.
