I've often wondered...are the dolorous likes of scRunge, Markku, Cochon
Capitaliste, Mixi, and that lot the remaining ragged remnants of a *very*
failed "alien invasion"...are they perhaps the "Spectrans" referenced below
in the article...???

Airliner had near miss with UFO

"A passenger jet bound for Heathrow Airport had a near miss with a UFO,
Ministry of Defence files reveal.

The captain of the Alitalia airliner shouted "Look out" to his co-pilot at
the sight of a brown missile-shaped object shooting past them overhead.

Civil Aviation Authority and military investigations could not explain the
1991 incident near Lydd in Kent.

The unsolved close encounter features in UFO-related military documents made
available by the National Archives.

After ruling out the object flying past the Alitalia jet being a missile,
weather balloon or space rocket, the MoD closed the inquiry.

Nineteen files covering sightings between 1986 and 1992 are being made
available online.

Almost 200 such files will be made available by the MoD over the next four
years.

The current batch also includes a US Air Force pilot's account of being
ordered to shoot down a UFO that appeared on his radar while he flew over
East Anglia.

There is also an MoD request that army and navy helicopters not take
photographs of crop circles, because of concerns about undermining the
official line that the military did not investigate unexplained phenomena.

And the files also contain a letter from a woman claiming to be from the
Sirius system who said her spacecraft - also containing two "Spectrans" with
"Mr Spock ears" - crashed in Britain during World War II.

UFO expert and journalism lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, Dr David
Clarke, said the documents would shed new light on relatively little-known
sightings.

He said some conspiracy theorists would already have decided that the
release of the papers was a "whitewash".

He added: "Because the subject is bedevilled by charlatans and lunatics, it
is career suicide to have your name associated with UFOs, which is a real
pity.

"The National Archives are doing a fantastic job here. Everyone brings their
own interpretation.

"Now you can look at the actual primary material - the stuff coming into the
MoD every day - and make your own mind up."
