Truth not out there

MAY: Four years, £100,000, 10,000 interviews and 500 pages later, the Ministry of Defence has concluded that UFOs do not exist.

The top-secret study, code-named Project Condign, was commissioned to investigate sightings of alien spacecraft. It was completed in 2000 but has only just been released under the Freedom of Information Act.

"Evidence suggests that meteors� and possibly some other less-known effects, are responsible for some unidentified aerial phenomena," concludes the report.

"No evidence exists to suggest that the phenomena seen are hostile or under any type of control, other than that of natural physical forces."

The large number of UFO sightings has also been explained: "The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person," states the report.

"Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced."

Many believers will remain skeptical at the report's conclusions. "The evidence that the earth is being visited by at least one extraterrestrial civilization is extensive," claims Dr. Steven Greer, director of the Center for the Study of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence in the USA.
