Winston Churchill demanded answer on UFO's - David Guyatt - 18-02-2010
The Ministry of Defence UFO have been publicly released. Amongst them was a memo from Churchill demanding an answer to the UFO phenomena.
One has to conclude that, assuming certain military and intelligence authorities in the UK knew what the truth was, they had no intention of telling Churchill about it.
Alternatively, the UK was kept completely in the dark by the US, a possibility I find hard to completely believe. Certainly the Russians weren't gong to tell him anything about it.

[quote]UFO files: Winston Churchill demanded information on
phenomena
Former Prime Minister Winston Churchill expressed curiosity in ''flying saucers'' and requested a briefing from his ministers, a memo released today revealed.
Published: 1:00PM GMT 18 Feb 2010
The ''Churchill Memorandum'' sent from the wartime leader on July 28 1952 to Lord Cherwell, secretary of state for air, is one of hundreds of UFO files released by the Ministry of Defence and National Archives.

In the note, Mr Churchill briefly writes: ''What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth? Let me have a report at your convenience.''
The response to his memo, explained that following an intelligence study conducted in 1951 the ''flying saucers'' could be explained by ''one or other'' of the following four causes:
:: Known astronomical or meteorological phenomena;
:: Mistaken identification of conventional aircraft, balloons, birds etc;
:: Optical illusions and psychological delusions;
:: Deliberate hoaxes.
