18 secret documents will be available to the public mid-June
50 years of collected UFO data and activity held by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) is being published after the June election next month. The secret dossier will reveal 18 documents held back after the information needed to be re-examined by the MoD.
Withholding this classified information classified information has reignited claims of a government cover-up of possible alien sightings.
The delay in releasing this information was due to the UK elections at the time, forcing the information to be put off years at a time. A letter sent from a spokesperson for the National Archive wrote:
Due to the upcoming election here in the UK and the rules relating to government departments during the pre-election period, the files will not be released until after the election, we are working to ensure that the files are ready for release as soon after this period as is possible: hopefully around the middle of June.
