Interesting as the files are, is there a change in Ufologists attitude towards the Ministry of Defence? in recent years i think there is a gradual acceptance that the MOD as always been indifferent to the subject of UFOs.
how do you feel the recent and ongoing release of these files effects your first publication ” A Covert Agenda”,
are we ushering in a new age of UFO innocence for the British Government?

Stefanos:
Some of my views have definitely changed over the years since Covert Agenda was published in 97.
There’s no doubt that over the years the MoD has received some interesting reports - the more interesting ones being those from the military.
And although they’d never come out and admit it, I think - from what a few retired MoD people have said - that they know “something” is going on.
But whatever that “something” is, it doesn’t behave like a “conventional enemy,” and so they don’t really know how to deal with it, and probably wish that whatever UFOs are, they would just go away.
So, yes, I think there is a lot of indifference - but chiefly because the phenomenon doesn’t act in a fashion that is applicable to a full-on response from the MoD.
But, at times, there’s no doubt they have dug deep into the subject, and particularly in the 50s. Today, I think they are of the mindset that says: “Well, we investigated these things, we did get some interesting reports. But these things are like ghosts: they come and they go, and they never attack us. So, what can we do?”
That’s a simplistic scenario, of course; but I think it’s probably pretty close to the mindset behind-closed-doors at the MoD.
