Pilots have apparently fired upon the unidentified objects without success since the 1980s, according to Nick Pope, who used to run the Ministry of Defence's UFO project.

"There was a faction in the MoD who said 'We want to shoot down a UFO and that will resolve the issue one way or another'," he told The Sun.

"We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot down - with little effect to the UFO."




Very sensible approach. We don't know what it is, so lets shoot it.

Your puny hu-man weapons are useless against our mighty UFOs...

Most of the time...

I was brought down by a thunderbird missile in late '70. I donned my survival suit, learned the language, fitted in quite well.
The only problem is that my accent is a bit weird, and my racial traits, (I am from the species Nastius Obnoxium), are almost impossible to suppress - Tay

I thought I saw a UFO when I was about 10(ish) it has flashing lights and everything.

Turns out it was the Blimp they were using to advertise orange phones a quite low altitude. Bastards.
