No Funds for the MIB

New documents have been released to the public by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense concerning a government agency that was devoted to investigating UFOs.

According to an article in Monday's issue of The Guardian, the MoD made repeated attempts to cover up a government unit known as DI55. The Public Records Office recently declassified notes and internal letters that indicate multiple attempts to make files pertaining to DI55 immune from Britain's "30-year-rule.” Under this legislation any documents that were once classified are to be reviewed and released to the public after 30 years.

As stated in the article, the DI55 have been suspected by conspiracy theorists and UFO enthusiasts of being a government clean up crew for UFO activity and rampant disinformationists. DI55 has also been attributed to many of the alleged Men In Black encounters in that corner of the globe.

Unfortunately for the saucer beaters, the latest documents to be released by the Public Records Office do little to prove that aliens are visiting our planet. Despite it confirming that there was and is a military interest in UFOs, the suspense falls short when the documents reveal that the office in charged of investigating such cases was never given the ability to use public funds for proper analysis and field research.

One document described the situation and the complete uselessness of DI55 as humiliating to the MoD.

No X-files case hear boss, just plain old fashion bureaucracy at work. Paranoid folks in Great Britain can now pull more hair out knowing that if the aliens do come, there's not a damn thing their government can do about it. It's more important to keep up appearances and pay people to do nothing than do a job right.

If the conspiracy theorists have gained anything in this latest development, they can at least speculate that the official report on UFOs released in May by the MoD, which included data from DI55, was done equally half-assed.

On another note, has anyone heard any updates about British hacker Gary McKinnon? If so, please post to the comments.
