Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Things start getting interesting with the file that
details how the crews of no less than six RAF Tornado jets from 2
Squadron, Laarbruch, were on an exercise being controlled and monitored
by Dutch radar and reported being overtaken by a giant UFO.
Then there is the strange tale of Lieutenant
Milton Torres, a 26 year old USAF Sabre jet fighter pilot back in 1957.
He reports how a "blip was burning a hole in the radar" such was the
intensity of the craft he had been ordered to shoot down over Norwich,
England.
According to Torres he was ordered to intercept and shoot at will, even
before taking off that night from the Royal Air Force base in Kent
where he was stationed. Not that it came to that, as he was unable to
keep up with the UFO which went off the radar at a speed of 9,941 miles
per hour.
Just as weird is the account from 1991 of how an Alitalia passenger jet
heading for Heathrow Airport had a very close encounter of its own. The
files reveal how the captain of the aircraft shouted 'Look out' as the
object shot past them.
The formerly top secret files report that investigations into the event
ruled out a missile or even a space rocket, and it was said not to be a
weather balloon either. Left with no rational explanation, the Ministry
of Defence closed the investigation and the file.
Don't expect this to be the last we hear of these unexplainable
encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects either. The Ministry of
Defence is expected to release a total of 200 previously classified
files over the course of the coming four years.
Don't expect any official explanations either, though. By releasing the
documents, the National Archive and by extension the UK government
itself is saying make up your own mind on all this...
