The MoD UFO File Release, The Sun & The 2008 UK UFO Wave

The MoD UFO File Release, The Sun & The 2008 UK UFO Wave

Visit here for full post, related articles, media etc.

It was almost impossible to have missed the furore regarding the MoD release of their “UFO files” back in May as it was all over the web, the television and the media for several weeks. The event was covered by many different authors at many different venues in many, many different countries. The relentless media coverage (especially in the UK) was unparalleled for a UFO related story as for at least a few days in May 2008, UFOs certainly went mainstream.

To see and appreciate the extent of the coverage I’ve correlated it into some loose semblance of order, due to the lists of reports and the amount of media footage it wasn’t possible to include them all in one Blog post, so I’ll only post a couple of clips here. (Main post here)

Joe McGonagle (UK-UFO.org) while not only being one of the people originally responsible for petitioning the MoD to such an extent it was deemed easier to just release ALL of the files has taken it upon himself to organise a team of UK UFO researchers to catalogue the recent TNA MoD UFO files release.

This is provided in a very user friendly spreadsheet, which is available here.

Trojan Horse Targets UFO Enthusiasts
UFO spam hides a Trojan horse

Security experts have warned that emails claiming to contain a video from the CNN news organisation reporting contact with extra-terrestrials should be ignored. The video attached to the email actually contains a Trojan horse rather than the promised report on aliens sending ‘cartoon’ messages to humanity, said Trend Micro.

A number of other hoax emails with rogue video files attached appearing to be sent by other news outlets such as the BBC also use topics other than UFOs to try and pique our interest.

One of the messages comes with the subject line,
“Hot News: Gene modified rabbits go wild!”


Florabel Baetiong of Trend Micro said that:

The address bars and subject fields carry sensational headlines whose details supposedly are in the attached video…..Attachment is a compressed file, which when opened contains not a video but a malicious executable file named Exclusive.Cut.avi.exe.

Trend Micro advised surfers to be cautious of unsolicited and unexpected email messages, as the attachments they carry may be harmful to systems.
