The third set of UFO documents to be released by the Ministry of Defence covers the period from 1987 to 1993. The files, which can be downloaded from the National Archives website, are being released as part of a three-year project.
These latest documents are the first containing information written by defence intelligence staff to be made public. Dr Clarke said they were among tens of thousands of secret files contaminated with asbestos and were in danger of being destroyed. They were eventually saved after a campaign by historians to rescue them from the old War Office building in Whitehall.
