Britain UFO Hotline

FILE - In this image made available by Britain’s National Archives Wednesday May 14, 2008, a sketch made by a police officer after a sighting of an unidentified Flying Object in England in 1984 is seen. Seen a UFO? Don’t bother calling the Brits, they’ve stopped listening. Score this one a victory for the bean counters: The British military has quietly shut down its UFO hotline as a costcutting measure it was revealed Friday Dec. 4, 2009 . After more than 50 years in operation, the UFO desk was quietly closed earlier this week, its e-mail deactivated and the phone line snipped. No longer will Britons who think they’ve seen Martian craft in the sky be able to enlist the services of Her Majesty’s armed forces.
