Reuters reports that the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) recently released documents regarding unidentified flying objects. The documents are nearly 9,000 pages long and chronicle UFO sightings from 1985 to 2007. This is the eighth set of UFO documents that the MoD released to the National Archive. They are available for viewing online for a month free of charge beginning August 11, 2011.


The documents include; among other things; a sighting of a large, silent object with a bright orange light in 2002, a report of men in black encountered in 2003 and a photograph of a "flying saucer" taken in 2004. The documents also include a memo suggesting that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill showed an interest in a 1952 UFO sighting in Washington.
