The British Defense Ministry finally turned the program, in which for nearly 60 years, collect and analyze information about UFOs. The last was shut down a telephone line and e-mail box, where there were reports seen flying saucers and green men. A special military unit of the Ministry dealing with this issue, "showed no threat to Britain from the aliens."

Continuation of the project considered a waste of money - 50 thousand pounds a year - and time. Being engaged in reports of UFOs, the Defense employees thus were forced to break away from more important tasks, the ministry explained. Since our inception in 1950, the department has done an impressive job, handled 12 thousand cases of alien observation, 5% of which was not found an explanation. However, this does not affect the decision to terminate the program, which caused resentment among ufologists. A former Minister of Defense Nick Pope called the closure of the Department of mistake that makes Britain "defenseless for terrorist attacks" - apparently from space.

Over the past year and a half four British Ministry of Defense to publish data from the archives of the Department of "skeet." The last time in August this year, the press got the description of 800 cases of sightings of UFOs. However, Britain is not the only country where you can easily get acquainted with the cataloged stories about flying saucers. Such documents have become public domain in the United States, France, as well as in Ukraine, where local ufologists posted on the Internet eyewitness, who observed a UFO over Ukraine from the XVII century.

Similar to the British draft existed in the USSR. He also oversaw the work of the military, and he worked in the structure of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation RAS (Troitsk). Supervised department of the Soviet Ministry of Defense. "From 1978 to 1991 were the program of the Academy of Sciences and Ministry of Defense, which collected reports of military and civilians on anomalous phenomena. All the information - and it is during this time more than three thousand messages - flocked to our institute and thoroughly tested. It was found that 98% of cases were associated with the launching of artificial satellites or balloons to study weather, and the program was closed. To date, Russia has no formal structures dealing with UFOs, "- said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, a leading researcher IZMIRAN Julius Platov.
