Fighter Jets Ordered to Shoot Down UFO By Noah Shachtman EmailOctober 20, 2008 | 12:26:00 PMCategories: Bizarro

Mcchordf86reduce_2 At the height of the Cold War -- and hysteria about alien invasions -- two U.S. fighter planes were "scrambled and ordered to shoot down a UFO over the English countryside," Reuters reports. The incident is one of thousands of UFO-related files, declassified and released by the British government today.

In one document, F-86 pilot Milton Torres describes his encounter with a huge, erratically-moving object in May, 1957.

"The order came to fire a salvo of rockets at the UFO. The authentication was valid and I selected 24 rockets.

...At the last moment, the object disappeared from the radar screen and the high-speed chase was called off.

He returned to base and was debriefed the next day by an unnamed man who "looked like a well-dressed IBM salesman."

"He threatened me with a national security breach if I breathed a word about it to anyone," he said.

The U.K. National Archives' 1500-page document dump undoubtedly includes other UFO doozies. Drop us a line if you find some good ones, or tell us about 'em, in the comments.

Jethro...

I have no problem with the content, just the chain of command.

After 25 years military/FAA I know what I SAW, I know what others saw and I believe.

Nine out of ten of these can be blown out of the water, but others like this strike me as valid. Growing up in the late 50s has left me with an interest in this stuff.
