To add to the cover-up, the Ministry of Defence has just been forced to release a study it did on UFOs, which was completed in 2000.

And what were they covering up? There is nothing out there.

On the contrary! Your quoted excerpt clearly indicts “natural physical forces” as the controllers of these phenomena! Which in turn means that the Ministry of Defence is not merely trying to cover up evidence of aliens; they’re trying to cover up entire _physical laws of nature!_ No doubt including the principle of antigravity and perhaps time travel as well, but possibly also encompassing malignant nature spirits such as pixies.

The really sad thing is, they would try.
