British military fails to shoot down UFOs

Expert: "I do believe we will bring one down."

Artist's rendering of successful shoot-down of a UFO by the RAF

From The Sun, UK:

Nick Pope — who worked on the Ministry of Defence's UFO desk for three years — revealed the rules of engagement for the first time.

He claimed RAF pilots had fired at UFOs on several occasions — but failed to bring them down.

He added: "We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot down — with little effect to the UFO."

Mr Pope said the rules of engagement were drawn up after dozens of close encounters with suspect craft in British airspace.

He added: "I do believe we will bring one down. We're developing increasingly sophisticated weapons."

Possible UFO hit-and-run at British wind farm

The above is an artist's rendering of the incident as it may have occurred.
From the Daily Telegraph (UK):
One of the turbine's 65-foot blades came off and another was damaged at the site, on the same night that local residents reported seeing orange-yellow spheres in the sky, which some described as trailing octopus-like "tentacles".

Ecotricity, the company that owns the wind farm near Louth, has yet to find an explanation for the damage.

But managers are believed to be concerned UFO enthusiasts will scour the site for debris, so have decided to restrict access.
