The Government may relaunch a team of UFO hunters in the wake of a US report into alien visitors, a senior defence source has revealed.
Ever since the Ministry of Defence s dedicated UFO desk was disbanded in 2009, no agency has been responsible for monitoring the skies over Britain for unidentified flying objects.
However, depending on the findings of a Pentagon report into UFOs, which have been renamed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, there is every possibility that the department could be revived.
Speaking exclusively to The Telegraph, the source said: I think that if there was enough evidence to suggest that there was something, and that we needed to do it as well as the US, then of course we d think about it. We d look at it. There s all sorts of things that we wouldn t rule out, and this would certainly be one of them.
