Government officials believe aliens may visit Earth and suggest harnessing UFO technology for UK defences, files say. Documents from the Ministry of Defence classified archives show staff believed aliens could visit for “military reconnaissance”, “scientific” research or “tourism”. In a 1995 briefing now published by the National Archives, a desk officer said the purpose of reported alien craft sightings “needs to be established as a matter of priority”, adding there did not appear to be “hostile intent”. The unnamed official said it was “essential that we start with open minds”, explaining “what is scientific ‘fact’ today may not be true tomorrow”. Clarifying he did not “talk to little green men every night”, he said: “We have a remit that we have never satisfied. That is, we do not now (sic) if UFOs exist. “If they do exist, we do not know what they are, their purpose or if they pose a threat to the UK. “If the sightings are of devices not of the earth then their purpose needs to be established as a matter of priority. There has been no apparent hostile intent and other possibilities are: 1) Military reconnaissance; 2) Scientific; 3) Tourism.” He added that “if reports are taken at face value” they showed extraterrestrial vehicles had “a very wide range of speeds and are stealthy”. Thus, he suggested, “we could use this technology, if it exists”. His briefing document lists possible reasons for UFO sightings, including mass hallucinations, US aircraft, “atmospheric events” and hoaxes, but indicated none provide a fully convincing explanation. It adds there are “some indications that the reported incidents are only the tip of an iceberg and many people do not wish to risk embarrassment and so do not report sightings”. He also noted that the number of reports of “strange objects in the skies” increased dramatically after the Second World War, with most sightings coming from “farmers, policemen, doctors and lovers”.

在英政府公布的一批有關UFO的機密文檔中，英政府官員稱外星人可能造訪地球，并提議利用外星人高超的飛行器技術為英國國防服務。 國防部機密檔案的文件顯示，有官員認為外星人造訪地球可能是為了進行軍事偵察，科學研究，或者度假觀光。 在國家檔案館公布的一份1995年的簡報中，一名事務員稱應首先確認報告中的外星人乘飛行器到地球的目的，并稱他們看起來并無“敵意”。 這位匿名官員還說：“重要的是，我們要有開放的思想，”并解釋道“今天的科學‘事實’，到了明天可能并不正確。” 他澄清他從未“夜夜與小綠人談話。”他說：“有一項工作我們一直沒能實現。那就是，我們不知道UFO是否存在。” “如果他們確實存在，我們也并不知道他們是什么物種，有什么目的，或是否會對英國造成威脅。” “如果這些目擊事件所觀測到的裝置不是地球上的，那么應首先確認這些外來者的目的。目前并未發現他們有明顯的敵意，其他的可能目的有：1)軍事偵察；2)科學研究；3)度假觀光。” 他還說“若從表面上來看報告的內容”，外星人使用的交通工具速度奇快，而且應該具有隱形功能。 因此，他提議：“如果這種交通工具存在，我們可以利用它的技術。” 他在簡報文件中列出了出現UFO目擊事件的幾種可能，其中包括集體幻覺，可能看到的是美國飛行器，可能是某種大氣現象，甚至可能是惡作劇，但都沒有做出能夠完全令人信服的解釋。 報告中還“暗示報告上來的UFO目擊事件只是冰山一角，因為怕尷尬等原因，許多人并沒有對政府報告自己的‘發現’。” 他還指出，在二戰之后，報告“天空中出現奇異物體”的事件出現了迅猛增長，大部分報告者為“農民、警察、醫生以及情侶”。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯：Julie） |
