AI Thread Summary
Secret files on UFO sightings from the Ministry of Defence have been released for the first time, covering incidents from 1978 to 1987. These documents, now available for download on the National Archives website, include reports of strange lights and unidentified objects observed by the public, military personnel, and police. Eight files have been released initially, with nearly 200 more expected to be made available over the next four years. For the first month, these documents can be downloaded for free. Some accounts, such as a report of a "round glowing craft" landing on an airway, raise skepticism regarding their authenticity, particularly in light of security measures like runway cameras.

I saw this and thought it might be of interest to some people.
Some sound a bit.. well... made up! but see for yourself.

I saw that earlier. The "round glowing craft" that supposedly landed on an airway before immediately taking off was unusual. I thought they had security cameras covering runways, no?
