Great Britain's Ministry of Defence has released more previously top secret UFO files.

Some of the incidents include an object flying over Stamford Bridge, a football stadium in London, and a peculiar object witnessed over the home of politician Michael Howard. Other reports apparently include Winston Churchill.

Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the Ministry of Defence, said that 95% of the reports are ordinary or mundane occurrences which witnesses have misidentified or mistaken. However, Pope added that "a small percentage of cases, perhaps 2 to 3%are very interesting, are genuinely unexplained, and even those of us at the MoD who worked on this issue were puzzled genuinely saying, 'Well, we dont know what it is.'"

For instance, a man who claimed he witnessed a UFO became sick and developed a skin condition on the same day of his sighting.

But some UFO-related documents will never see the light of day. Pope explained that the British Freedom of Information Act does not permit the release of files which may jeopardize defence, national security and intelligence information. Some however believe that these restrictions keep the truth of UFOs from ever being known by the general public.

But the files do expose how frequent UFO sightings are, and how enthusiastic some people are about UFOs. Pope mentioned that the file title "Persistent Correspondent," is "MoD code for 'This person is becoming a nuisance.'"

Here is another recent and excellent Nick Pope media appearance on CNN with Campbell Brown, when the last batch of British UFO files were released last summer. My hat's off to Campbell Brown for actually doing her job as a professional by maintaining objectivity and playing the story straight down the line. There's no smirking, no snide remarks, nor ridicule of the topic. She treats is seriously as any professional journalist should:
