Attempted abductions and flying saucers over Glastonbury are among hundreds of dramatic reports of close encounters released by the Ministry of Defence. Witness drew sketch of flying saucer spotted at Glastonbury's annual festival. From aliens with lemon-shaped heads to laser beams being shot to earth, the MoD and The National Archives have released approximately 800 sightings from 1981 to 1996. "We want you, come with us," one alien apparently told two terrified Staffordshire boys after appearing from under a hovering UFO. The boys ran for their lives and reported the incident to police. In the Glastonbury incident in 1994, two revellers reckoned they saw a UFO over the jazz tent. A woman and a friend were "standing soberly" in a field when the craft appeared from nowhere and seemed to "communicate" with them. The mysterious reports were released as part of a three-year project between the MoD and The National Archives, aimed at opening up the records to a worldwide audience. This fourth instalment consists of 14 files of sightings, letters and Parliamentary Questions - 4,000 pages in total. The records feature papers relating to the famous "Rendlesham Forest" sightings, often described as "Britain's Roswell", and the MoD's final position statement on the incident...
Other highlights include:
:: More than 30 sightings of bright lights over central England in just six hours. But it was later discovered that most of the sightings were caused by a Russian rocket re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
:: The Belgian Air Force scrambling F-16 fighters to intercept UFOs reported by police officers and others.
:: Numerous sightings over Scotland as Bonnybridge became the UFO hotspot of the mid-90s.
:: A report of wailing noises and mysterious lights being beamed on to a cemetery in Cheshire in July 1996. Investigations discovered four smouldering railway sleepers, one with a hole burnt through it.
Many of these UFO reports were filed in 1996, the year Hollywood blockbuster Independence Day was released which also coincided with the growing popularity of the X-Files TV series. Experts believe this goes some way to explaining a spike in UFO sightings - from 117 in 1995 to 609 in 1996. Dr David Clarke, a UFO expert, said: "Aside from 1996, one of the busiest years for UFO sightings reported to the MoD over the past half century was 1978 - the year Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released. "Obviously, films and TV programmes raise public awareness of UFOs and it's fascinating to see how that appears to lead more people to report what they see to the authorities."
