MoD leaves UK undefended from alien invasion:

Nick Pope, the former head of the Ministry of Defence's UFO department has been telling the Evening Standard that his former department has been "virtually closed down", leaving the UK "wide open" to alien invasion:

,,,while Mr Pope says that there is no evidence of hostile intent, he insists it cannot be ruled out.

"There has got to be the potential for that and one is left with the uneasy feeling that if it turned out to be so, there is very little we could do about it," he said.

"If you believe these things are extra terrestrial craft then you cannot rule out that what is happening is some kind of covert reconnaissance."

Why should we worry. So long as the US Air Force is still operating the Stargate programme and the Protected Planets Treaty holds, the UK is safe enough.
