The Ministry of Defense is bored with UFOs

The Ministry of Defense announced the closure of UFO research for financial reasons.

After more than 50 years, the Ministry of Defense announced the termination of the operation of the unidentified flying object (UFO) division because it could not withstand the operational costs.

The ministry said it did not find any evidence of the danger threatening Britain or the existence of extraterrestrial creatures. The Ministry's hotline and email address have received thousands of UFO reports from the people, but the ministry said "there is no specific ability to identify the nature" of each report.

"There is no defense interest in pursuing UFO investigations. If it continues to be a waste of defense money , " the ministry said.

"Any threat to the English sky will be detected by radar and coped with the Royal Air Force aircraft," Reuters quoted a Defense Ministry spokesman as saying.

Financial resources will be concentrated with more important priorities, including the war in Afghanistan, where the UK is deploying 9,000 troops in NATO forces to sweep the Taliban soldiers.
