Thousands of UFOs have been spotted in the last 20 years around the UK, according to newly released documents.

More than 6,000 pages of reports describe people's experiences with unidentified flying objects between 1994 and 2000. They include reported sightings over Chelsea Football Club and former home secretary Michael Howard's Kent home. Details have been released under a three-year project between the Ministry of Defence and The National Archives.

One man told police he was physically sick and developed a "skin condition" after an eerie "tube of light" enveloped his car in Ebbw Vale on 27 January, 1997.

In another case, a UFO sighted by Boston and Skegness police, in Lincolnshire, was captured on film.

Also included in the latest release is a letter from senior MoD official Ralph Noyes, in which he describes seeing a film of UFOs captured by RAF fighter pilots in 1956.



Mr Noyes claims the footage was shown at a secret underground screening arranged for air defence staff at the MoD in 1970.



And a memo reveals how former prime minister Winston Churchill expressed curiosity in "flying saucers" and requested a briefing from his ministers.



He was told in reply that following an intelligence study conducted in 1951, the "flying saucers" could be explained by "one or other" of four causes.

I actually met one of the fighter pilots who was sent up to check out a radar "bogey" during the cold war.

It clearly disturbed him very much to talk about it as, to this day, he cannot explain why the ground radar could "see" the bogey and his aircraft radar showed it to be right in front of him, but he couldn't see it with his own eyes, even though it was broad daylight with good vis. His missiles locked-on to the target but he could not fire without a visual sighting.

He returned to base and reported what had happened and was told to forget it.

The man retired as a Wing-Commander and I do not doubt what he told me to be true.
