Hundreds of close encounters revealed in UFO sightings report

ATTEMPTED abductions, scrambled fighter jets and flying saucers over Glastonbury are among hundreds of dramatic reports of close encounters released by the British Ministry of Defence.

From aliens with lemon-shaped heads to laser beams being shot to earth, the MoD and The National Archives have released approximately 800 sightings from 1981 to 1996.

“We want you, come with us,” one alien apparently told two terrified boys after appearing from under a hovering UFO.
