A classified report from the UK Ministry of Defence on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) concluded that there is no evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Although details surrounding this study remain classified, it seems that Earth’s inhabitants do not need to worry about it.
The report, completed in 2000 and titled “Secret: The Unique Eyes of Britain“, was published for the first time. Only a few copies exist, and the identity of the author is also kept confidential.
The four-year study addressed the long-standing question posed by those who claim to have seen UFOs: “Is there anyone living outside our planet?” The answer appears to be “no.”
“There is no credible evidence that the observed phenomena are either adversaries to humanity or comply with some form of control, rather than being natural physical forces“, the report stated. Additionally, “there is no evidence of the existence of ‘solid’ objects that could pose a collision threat to Earth,” the report noted.
If there is nothing resembling little green men on spaceships or flying objects, why are so many people reporting them?
Here is the scientific explanation.
“Evidence suggests that meteors and their associated effects, as well as a few other poorly understood phenomena, could account for some unidentified occurrences in the sky“, the report concluded.

“A significant amount of information obtained supports the hypothesis that these phenomena are mostly associated with electrical, magnetic, and physical activities in the lower atmosphere, stratosphere, and ionosphere“.
“They appear to arise under unusual conditions and are seen so infrequently that they are almost unique experiences for most observers“.
Witnesses who claim to have “encountered” UFOs often find it difficult to convince others that they did not see what they believe they saw.
“The appearance of plasma near fields can adversely affect people and vehicles. Such fields have been shown to cause reactions in the human brain’s temporal lobes. As a result, observers may see an extended halo created by themselves, describing it as an unusual object“.
Unusual aircraft with distinctive halos, lost airships with strange shapes, and flocks of peculiar birds have also been mentioned, albeit infrequently.
However, it will be challenging to convince everyone that there is a suitable explanation for all the mysterious movements in the sky.
