UFO Visits, “military reconnaissance”, “scientific” research or “tourism”.
Don’t you think that the first sentence bespeaks of Presumptive arrogance?
Photograph of “an unusual atmospheric occurrence observed over Sri Lanka,” forwarded to the UK Ministry of Defence by RAF Fylingdales, 2004. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) “Government officials believe aliens may visit Earth and suggest harnessing UFO technology for UK defences, files say.
Documents from the Ministry of Defence classified archives show staff believed aliens could visit for “military reconnaissance”, “scientific” research or “tourism”.
In a 1995 briefing now published by the National Archives, a desk officer said the purpose of reported alien craft sightings “needs to be established as a matter of priority”, adding there did not appear to be “hostile intent”.
The unnamed official said it was “essential that we start with open minds”, explaining “what is scientific ‘fact’ today may not be true tomorrow”.
Clarifying he did not “talk to little green men every night”, he said: “We have a remit that we have never satisfied. That is, we do not now (sic) if UFOs exist.
“If they do exist, we do not know what they are, their purpose or if they pose a threat to the UK.
“If the sightings are of devices not of the earth then their purpose needs to be established as a matter of priority. There has been no apparent hostile intent and other possibilities are: 1) Military reconnaissance; 2) Scientific; 3) Tourism.”
He added that “if reports are taken at face value” they showed extraterrestrial vehicles had “a very wide range of speeds and are stealthy”.
Thus, he suggested, “we could use this technology, if it exists”.
His briefing document lists possible reasons for UFO sightings, including mass hallucinations, US aircraft, “atmospheric events” and hoaxes, but indicated none provide a fully convincing explanation.
It adds there are “some indications that the reported incidents are only the tip of an iceberg and many people do not wish to risk embarrassment and so do not report sightings”.
He also noted that the number of reports of “strange objects in the skies” increased dramatically after the Second World War, with most sightings coming from “farmers, policemen, doctors and lovers”.
“Most people think that UFOs are a recent phenomena (sic) but they are not,” he said. “There are reasonably reliable reports of strange objects in the skies dating back hundreds of years.”
In 1979, an official briefing written by the MoD in preparation for a House of Lords debate on UFOs questioned why aliens would want to visit the Earth.
An unnamed intelligence officer said it would be prudent to consider the number of stars in the universe, the number which might have inhabitable planets and a list of interesting places in the universe that an intelligent community might wish to visit”.

British Police Attended Terrorist Camps.
Instances like this breed mistrust between Communities and the majority feel threatened,naturally.
When thy voice their fears it is called non-secular and Islamophobia and Racial profiling if the authorities keep a tight watch over the community’
Abdul Rahman admits travelling to Pakistan in 2001 but denies attending a terror camp “The policemen lost their jobs when their security clearance was revoked by senior officers after checks were carried out because of fears of “sleepers” in the ranks.
The Sunday Telegraph can also disclose today the identity of one of the policemen suspected of being at a terror camp in 2001.
Abdul Rahman had been a constable for almost three years when MI5 warned that he might have visited a training camp in Pakistan when he travelled there.
He resigned rather than be dismissed from the force and is now suing Scotland Yard for compensation. He says he is entirely innocent and has never been to a terrorist training camp.
His lawyers say he has never been questioned, arrested or charged under terrorism legislation.
Scotland Yard submitted in legal documents that it acted against Mr Rahman “for the purpose of safeguarding national and public security”. A source familiar with the case said there were either one or two other officers who had also lost their jobs because of MI5’s suspicion that they might have trained as terrorists.
“There was concern that these people had come into the force under false pretences,” the senior Metropolitan Police source said. “There were two or three cases at the same time that were of a similar nature, where there were concerns about potential terrorist links.”
The development raises concerns about the ease with which potential terrorists might infiltrate the police and compromise national security.
It is believed that Mr Rahman’s clearance was revoked as part of a root-and-branch security review carried out by MI5 after the July 7, 2005 terrorist attack, and the subsequent failed July 21 bombings.
The fact that he was under MI5 suspicion was disclosed in court documents made public as he fights a lengthy legal case over his departure from the force.
The case is so sensitive that it is being heard by a security-vetted judge.
Mr Rahman, a Muslim who was born in Bangladesh before being raised in London and becoming a British citizen, does not dispute that he went to Pakistan in 2001.
However, his lawyers say he has been “tangled up” in national security legislation.
Mr Rahman became a probationary constable in the Metropolitan Police in September 2003 then attended Hendon Police College, completing his initial training in March 2004.
His passing out parade, at Hendon, was reviewed by the former Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, who at the time was Britain’s most senior counter-terrorism police officer.
As part of his recruitment Mr Rahman underwent a process of security vetting known as a counter-terrorist check (CTC).
However, his security clearance was suspended on June 22, 2006. He was interviewed three times — most probably by counter-terrorism officers — in the following months.
In November 2006 he was told by Det Chief Supt Robert Sait — a senior officer in the Metropolitan Police’s specialist operations directorate, which includes the counter-terrorism command — that his CTC vetting clearance had been revoked.
Mr Rahman was told that he had an internal right of appeal against the decision, which he decided to exercise.
A week before the appeal hearing in June 2007 he was told that if the hearing confirmed the removal of his CTC clearance he was likely to be dismissed.

Grand Father Of Everyone is Living in Britain!
By the result obtained it can be sated,utmost, that the ancestors of Mr.Ian Kinnaird, 72,who lives in Britain,were from a West AfricanVillage.
IAN KINNAIRD To say it is from Eve is non sense.
The earliest trace that has been established in the result is the fact the ancestor was from West Africa.
But how do you name her as Eve?
Or is n new campaign of establishing English Superiority?
If we accept Eve as the first woman, by logic all of us are her grandchildren, not merely the Britons.
“The Britons (sometimes Brythons or British) were the Celtic people culturally dominating Great Britain from the Iron Age until the Early Middle Ages.[1]They spoke the Insular Celtic language known as British or Brythonic. They lived throughout Britain south of about the Firth of Forth; after the 5th century Britons also migrated to continental Europe, where they established the settlements of Brittany in France and the obscure Britonia in what is now Galicia, Spain.[1] Their relationship to the Picts north of the Forth has been the subject of much discussion, though most scholars accept that thePictish language during this time was a Brythonic language related to, but perhaps distinct from, British.[2]
The earliest evidence for the Britons and their language in historical sources dates to the Iron Age.[1] After the Roman conquest of 43 AD, a Romano-British culture began to emerge. With the advent of the Anglo-Saxon settlement in the 5th century, however, the culture and language of the Britons began to fragment. By the 11th century their descendants had split into distinct groups, and are generally discussed separately as the Welsh, Cornish,Bretons, and the people of the Hen Ogledd (“Old North”). The British language developed into the distinct branches of Welsh, Cornish, Breton, andCumbric.[1]“

- Ian Kinnaird, 72, discovered he is effectively the ‘grandfather of everyone in Britain’ after he paid £200 to take the test to trace his ancestry
- Results showed that Mr Kinnaird, has a genetic marker, L1B1, that can be followed back all the way to an ancient African lineage
- The complete test results suggest 32% of British men are descended from the original Britons, 12% from ancient Germanic lines, 11% are hunter gatherers and 7% are ancient Irish.
A DNA test on a Scottish pensioner has revealed he is a direct descendent of the first ever woman who lived on Earth 190,000 years ago.
Ian Kinnaird, 72, discovered he is effectively the ‘grandfather of everyone in Britain’ after he paid £200 to take the test to trace his ancestry.
Britain’s DNA, the research team who carried out the test, said the result means that Mr Kinnaird is ‘the grandson of Eve’ – the very first woman.
The test results showed that Mr Kinnaird, a retired lecturer who lives in Halkirk near John O’Groats, has a genetic marker, L1B1, that can be followed back all the way to an ancient African lineage that has never before been found in Western Europe.
He has mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which is passed through the female side is 30,000 years old and only two genetic mutations removed from the first ‘black Eve’.
Most men, the researchers say, have genes that have incurred around 200 mutations from the earliest humans.
Mr Kinnaird also found that the YDNA marker on the male side of his genetic make-up is Scandinavian and he carries the same genes that is found in a quarter of all Norwegian men.
He said: ‘I have led an unremarkable life until now.
‘This is a real gobsmacker. I seem to carry a gene from West Africa that arrived through the slave trade.
‘I have been researching the links between the slave trade and Liverpool, the area where the female side of my family came from.
‘Africa was part of my geography degree at Hull University in 1959, but i couldn’t have imagined anything like this.
The same L1B1 gene is also carried his 65-year-old sister, Jean.
Alistair Moffat, St Andrews University’s rector and historian, and James Wilson, a geneticist from Edinburgh University, were responsible for setting up the national study and uncovering the startling results of Mr Kinnaird.
Mr Moffat said: ‘It is an astonishing result and means he could have been in the ‘Garden of Eden’.
‘It is further proof that even white Anglo-Saxon Protestants are descended from a black Eve.
‘This lineage appears in Africa, in Senegal, but has never been seen in north-west Europe.
‘It is likely to have reached Britain through the arrival of slaves in Liverpool.
‘A woman who might be called Eve and a man who might be called Adam really existed.
‘Eve, the mother of us all, lived around 190,000 thousand years ago just as homo sapiens were evolving. Other women lived at the same time but only Eve’s mtDNA survived.
‘Adam also lived in central Africa, perhaps only around 140,000 years ago. Only his YDNA survived to father all of the male lineages on earth.
‘Mr Kinnaird cannot pass on his mtDNA but his sister could and she had a daughter who will carry the lineage.’
The aim behind Britain’s DNA is to try and make a ‘family tree of Britain’.
The nationwide study that has examined the DNA of 2,000 people from all over the UK has found that most participants’ genetic markers date back around 3,500 years ago to the days of the earliest Britons, Vikings and even cave painters and hunter gatherers.
The complete test results suggest 32 per cent of British men are descended from the original Britons, 12 per cent from ancient Germanic lines, 11 per cent are hunter gatherers and 7 per cent are ancient Irish.

How Barclays Rigged Bank Rates- emails
See how greed unfolds and how people callous people are!
‘Devastating emails today lay bare how top banks rigged crucial interest rates to mask the scale of their bad debts.
They show how bonus-hungry traders promised each other bottles of Bollinger champagneto fix the figures that affect millions of homeowners and small firms.
HOW BARCLAYS TRADERS CONSPIRED TO FIX THE MARKETS
Between 2005 and 2009, more than 200 requests were sent, usually by email or instant messenger – by traders to the Barclays Libor submitters.In one example of several provided by the FSA, a trader emailed the Barclays Libor submitter in March 2006, writing: ‘The big day [has] arrived… My NYK are screaming at me about an unchanged 3(month) libor. As always, any help wd be greatly appreciated. What do you think you’ll go for 3(month)?’
The submitter replied: ‘I am going 90 altho 91 is what I should be posting.’
The trader thanked him, saying: ‘..when I retire and write a book about this business your name will be written in golden letters.’
The submitter then replied: ‘I would prefer this [to] not be in any book!’
In another example from April 2006, a trader requested low one month and three month US dollar Libor rates shortly before the submission was due.
He asked: ‘If it’s not too late low 1m and 3m would be nice, but please feel free to say “no”… Coffees will be coming your way either way, just to say thank you for your help in the past few weeks.’
The submitter replied: ‘Done… for you big boy.’

“Last night – as Barclays was fined a record £290million for its part in the scandal – MPs said the police should be called in to investigate the ‘appalling’ conduct.
The conspiracy involved interest rates on the wholesale money markets, where banks lend to each other.
Traders colluded to set artifically low rates to con the markets into believing the banks were in good financial shape in the run-up to the credit crunch.
Fixing the figures also allowed bankers to make money by taking out bets on the way the rates would move.
The wholesale rates affect homeowners because they influence how much they pay on variable rate loans and mortages.
Yesterday senior executives at Barclays said they would give up their bonuses for this year as a result of the record fine.
But the City regulator said other banks were caught up in the probe – with Lloyds, HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland admitting they were also being investigated.
The revelations throw fresh scrutiny on an industry already marred by public outrage at sky-high bonuses, mis-selling scandals and the RBS computer glitch chaos.
In one of the emails, a trader at a different bank wrote to ‘Trader G’ at Barclays: ‘Dude. I owe you big time! Come over one day after work and I’m opening a bottle of Bollinger.’
Other emails revealed how they would ‘shout’ across the desk at each other to ‘beg’ for the interest rate to be fixed at a certain level in the hope of making millions for themselves.
Another said: ‘Coffees will be coming your way either way, just to say thank you for your help in the past few weeks.’
His colleague replied: ‘Done…for you big boy.’
The devastating 44-page dossier, published by the Financial Services Authority, revealed the ruthless tactics used by traders to try to fix the wholesale rates – known as the London Interbank Rate (Libor) and the European Interbank Rate (Euribor).
Sorry: Chief executive Bob Diamond apologised for the incident and will forgo his bonus this yearThey wanted to keep the rates artificially low as a high Libor rate suggests a bank is weaker than other banks because it is being charged a higher rate of interest to borrow money.
It is understood that between ten and 20 rogue dealers were involved, all of whom are being or have been dismissed.
Last night the chairman of the Commons Treasury committee Andrew Tyrie said Mr Diamond would be summoned to explain what had happened.
‘This is appalling. It just beggars belief that this sort of attitude should have been so widespread,’ he told Channel 4 News.
‘The crucial thing now is to make sure that it is being cleared up. That is why we will be calling in (Barclays chief executive) Bob Diamond to make sure that what’s required had been done in Barclays to improve the culture.
‘Banks were clearly acting in concert. I fear it’s not going to be the end of the story, that we are going to find that other banks have been involved.’
But Labour’s financial spokesman Chris Leslie said the situation was so serious it may have to go ‘beyond the regulators and into a criminal investigation’.
