Secret Danish UFO archives released

The Danish Air Force has opened its UFO archives

The Danish Air Force has opened its UFO archives on more than 15,000 reported extraterrestrial sightings to the public 

The UFO archives are now readily available to the public (PDF download?), detailing sightings from over the last 30 years. The Danish Air Force published the archive online yesterday because it felt ‘there was nothing secret in the files’.

The Air Force said that most of the sightings remained ‘unidentified’ because the details were not precise enough. However, some of the reports contained enough description to rule out the UFOs as aircraft, weather phenomenon or paper lanterns.

Not all of the sightings were centred over Denmark and one event over Greenland is attracting attention. On the 5 January, 1981 at 12:50 a flaming, square disc was seen approximately 45 degrees over the frozen land near Thule Air Base. It then vanished as suddenly as it had appeared. Coincidentally, radar stations at the American base recorded an unidentified flying object on its radar at 12:50. 

Air Force Captain Thomas Petersen, who has an extensive knowledge of the files, commented that any unresolved sightings are handed over to the Scandinavian UFO Centre, if they request it. He added that the Air Force’s main mission was to defend Denmark against threat, ‘and UFOs are not a known threat’.

In the late 80s I started investigating UFOs and crop circles and joined the CCCS (Centre for Crop Circle Studies) and a local group researching strange sightings and reports along the south coast of Dorset (UK). In the early ’90s I started my own research group called SPS (Strange Phenomena Studies), this was renamed in 2004 to Cryptoworld.
