Churchill Ordered UFO Cover-Up Fearing "Mass Panic"

Seems "Winnie" got his knickers in a knot over these reported sightings during WWII, since clearly, his hands were quite full, you know, fending off the Nazis. The last thing he needed was a close encounter with aliens of ANY kind.

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered an alleged UFO incident in the 1950s be kept secret to prevent "mass panic," according to claims made public in the UK on Thursday.

According to reports, the grandson of one of Churchill's personal bodyguards, wrote to the British Ministry of Defense in 1999 hoping to learn more about the incident. His account, along with Churchill's claimed reaction, were among a new batch of files released from Britain's National Archives, though the man'sidentity was not released.

The letter describes how the man's grandfather, who served with the RAF in World War II, was present when Churchill went to discuss a UFO sighting with Dwight Eisenhower. The incident involved an RAF reconnaissance plane, returning from France or Germany, that was said to have been intercepted by an unidentified metallic object near the English coastline.
As the Daily Mail reported, the letter read as follows:

"During the discussion with Mr Churchill, a consultant (who worked in the Cumbria area during the war) dismissed any possibility that the object had been a missile, since a missile could not suddenly match its speed with a slower aircraft and then accelerate again.
He declared that the event was totally beyond any imagined capabilities of the time. Another person at the meeting raised the possibility of an unidentified flying object, at which point Mr Churchill declared that the incident should be immediately classified for at least 50 years and its status reviewed by a future Prime Minister."

 It's interesting to note that in recent years the number of reports of UFO sightings over the UK, France, and Spain have increased dramatically.  Wonder if these sightings have any connection to the release of the letter.

And so it goes.
