Summary/Description: The Cosford Incident. On March 31, 1993, triangular-shaped UFOs were spotted by dozens of people in western Britain, speeding through the night sky. The MoD’s man then running their “UFO desk”, Nick Pope, told his superiors: “It seems that an unidentified object of unknown origin was operating in the UK Air Defence Region without being detected on radar.
“This would appear to be of considerable defence significance, and I recommend that we investigate further, within MoD or with the US authorities.” A meteorological officer said he saw a triangular-shaped craft flying at about 200ft. It made a low hum and fired a narrow beam of light which swept the ground. Skeptics say the sightings were actually of a Russian rocket booster breaking up in the atmosphere after putting a satellite, Cosmos 2238, into orbit.
But Pope, who has since left the MoD, claims that “no satisfactory explanation” was ever found for the reports. He called Cosford the “big case” that made him believe extraterrestrials could penetrate Britain’s defences at will.
