I was watching possibly the best UFO documentary i've seen to date last night, it was on more4 (then +1 afterwards)
It was an investigation by a defence journalist who was privvy to a lot of previously secret information. It showed the number of reported sightings down the various years and how the military were working on things during those years. Right from the cold war and the American U2 spying on Russia, their unmanned reconaissance planes in return over the USA - then the blackbird AT mACH 3 DOING 100,000ft on the edge of space - then the stealth flying invibly off the radar - which at the time all looked like nothing before.
The CIA even used muddied the waters by letting the public believe that UFOs could actually exists and the US government changed their stories over Roswell a number of times to let the public believe it was a UFO - rather than come clean about their spying on Russia.
It also showed footage of a bloke in the USA who had invented (in his basement) a propulsion method using ion electrical charges and metal foil to lift a contraption off the ground veritcally. Similar to a German method used before but without the VTOL propulsion method currently used in harriers. The programme ended showing a contrail type movement across the earth on a satellite map which is the most up to date advance in airspace technology, the ultra secret aurora programme with a craft travelling at 8000mph.
It did however concede that there are still a handful of sightings not accounted for a even how amusingly, the state records had handwritten on one account. 'this could actually be a UFO'. So unbelievable to them it was.
