A Royal Navy captain torpedoed his sailors’ claims that they saw a UFO during an exercise off the coast of Norway.
Men on HMS Manchester and other Royal Navy ships reported seeing the unidentified aircraft, but a key document that might have explained it disappeared.
Ministry of Defence investigators discovered the ship’s log covering the period was “blown overboard by a gust of wind” while the destroyer was docked off Norway.
The ship’s captain had no recollection of any UFO incident, but in September 2002 the former admiral of the fleet Lord Hill-Norton asked the MoD to explain.
He wrote that the mystery craft’s apparent appearance had “defence significance” and was tracked on radar by a Norwegian ship whose sailors were discussing it on their communications network.
