1972: The Menwith Hill UFO Incident

Indications often emerge that the authorities do in fact take an active interest in UFO reports. This was effectively illustrated in the aftermath of a case that occurred in 1972.

A middle-aged couple were motoring home over the Yorkshire Moors, Northern England, to Manchester one afternoon in August 1972 when, near the Menwith Hill top secret telecommunications base, they saw a landed UFO. There was a doorway in the object which the couple saw close, rather like the iris of a camera would.

The local police investigated the case and called on the couple, the press were notified and a journalist arrived. However, before the story could be made public, a car turned up at the couple's house and two men climbed out. These unexpected visitors then produced information to prove they were from the Ministry of Defence, and told the journalist to leave.

The officials wanted to interview the couple, but only seemed to be interested in one minor detail of the sighting - the door the couple had witnessed closing. Again and again they asked one of the witnesses to describe the operation of the door.

oes this show that some of the so-called men in black are Government agents? Unsurprisingly, when civilian investigators contacted the MoD to verify the visit, its occurrence was completely denied.
