      http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-truth-really-is-out-there-as-britains-xfiles-released-827798.html

      Her Majesty's Government may have concluded in 1979 that "it has never been approached by people from outer space" but the current Pope is entertaining the idea of aliens.

      That was the bizarre clash of opinions that emerged this morning as thousands of pages of "Britain's X-files" were released by the Ministry of Defence in a move brought about by a "deluge" of Freedom of Information requests by UFO conspiracy theorists. 

      The 160 files - the first eight of which, covering 1978-1987, are published today - throw up no "saucer-in-a-hangar smoking gun" in the skies, experts said last night. 

      However, the papers, viewable on the National Archives' website, do show that officials conducted a full investigation into every claimed sighting until the 1980s. The files, one of which is more than 450 pages long, show that since the 1950s thousands of seemingly ordinary people have claimed UFO sightings in this country. 

      In June 1983 a woman in Sanderstead, Surrey, opened her curtains at 3am to see a giant rectangular object passing past her bedroom window. "There seemed to be no means of propulsion, the object was not being pushed, pulled, lifted or carried. Its movement was silent," she said. A picture of what she says she saw features in one of the files published today. 

      The development came as those who believe in extra-terrestrial life were given new hope from an unlikely quarter. In an article for the Vatican newspaper l'Osservatore Romano headlined "Aliens Are My Brother", the Pope's official astronomer, Fr Gabriel Funes, said intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space. 

      But, if aliens do exist, they appear not to have bothered to hover over Whitehall. In a definitive 1979 briefing note, the department wrote: "Her Majesty's Government has never been approached by people from outer space." 

      That the question was being raised, however, shows Britain was still investigating sightings well beyond when the US decided UFOs posed no threat and most reports were explained by natural phenomena. 

      The MoD's move is likely to attract considerable excitement in the Ufologist world. When France's national space agency released similar material last year its website crashed after 220,000 Internet users logged on. The National Archives has subcontracted the section of its site in order to handle the expected online onslaught. 

      It will show that in April 1984 police in Edgware, north London, were called to investigate a light flashing "blue, white, green and pink", followed by a "blinding white ball with a tail". Women ran to their homes, screaming, with one declaring to officers: "I am not a nutter."

      Green aliens and UFOs said to visit UK
      Wed May 14, 2008 11:13am BST

      By Jeremy Lovell 

      LONDON (Reuters) - Aliens from outer space have been visiting Britain for 
      Years and UFO sightings doubled after the film Close Encounters was released in 
      1977, according to secret files collating reports by members of the public. 
      The alien craft come in all shapes, sizes and colours but their occupants are 
      Uniformly green, the Ministry of Defence files show. 
      The archives (at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos) are the first batch of a 
      Four-year release programme of all the ministry's UFO files from 1978 to the 
      Present day. 
      The ministry dismisses 90 percent of the reports as having mundane 
      Explanations and leave 10 percent with a question mark and the assurance they are no 
      Defence threat. 
      A 1983 report from a 78-year-old out fishing at midnight tells of following 
      Aliens in green overalls on to a spaceship and then being told to go away 
      Because he was too old and decrepit for their purposes. 
      Two years later, a typewritten letter to the ministry tells of an alien 
      Spaceship being shot down in the river Mersey in northern England by another 
      Spacecraft and of the author developing a warm friendship with an alien called 
      Algar. 
      Just as Algar was about to reveal himself to the government he was killed by 
      Other aliens, the author of the letter writes. He was still in telepathic 
      Contact with an alien called Malcben from the planet Platone in the Milky Way, 
      The author added. 
      Written at the top of the letter is the terse comment "No reply". 
      The ministry has files on 11,000 sightings dating back to the 1950s. A few of 
      The sightings made it into the national press and all were checked out in 
      Case they were Soviet aircraft probing Britain's defences during the Cold War. 
      "Clearly some reports remain unexplained but we have found no evidence that 
      These phenomena represent a threat to national security and therefore cannot 
      Justify devoting Defence resources to their investigation," said an official 
      Letter in 1985. 
      WORKING PARTY 
      The term Unidentified Flying Object was coined in a U.S. Air Force report 
      Three years after the description 'flying saucer' was applied to a sighting in 
      Washington State in June 1947. 
      In Britain, so worrying was the spate of reports that a secret Flying Saucer 
      Working Party was formed to check them out. 
      Like the U.S. Air Force, it concluded flying saucers did not exist. But its 
      Final report in 1951 was still classified "secret/discreet" and given very 
      Limited circulation. 
      Not all sightings can be easily dismissed as the working of overwrought or 
      Intoxicated minds, or triggered by watching Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters 
      Of the Third Kind. 
      Royal Air Force personnel, civil aviation pilots and air traffic controllers 
      Have also reported sightings and radar tracks that remain unexplained despite 
      High-level investigation. 
      Among the most famous was the sighting on two occasions of unexplained bright 
      Lights landing near a U.S. Airbase in Rendlesham Forest in southern England. 
      Even the deputy commander of the base put his name to that 1980 report.

      It's OK to believe in aliens <http://news.yahoo.com/s/AP/20080513/AP_on_re_eu/Vatican_aliens>
      By ARIEL DAVID, Associated Press Writer Tue May 13, 4:07 PM ET 
      VATICAN CITY - Believing that the universe may contain alien life does not contradict a faith in God, the Vatican's chief astronomer said in an interview published Tuesday.
      The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
      "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said. "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation."
