In an interview, Nick Pope, former UFO adviser for the UK Ministry of Defence, said Britain has a stockpile of aircraft, drones and sophisticated military weaponry which it can use to defend itself against space invaders.

According to MSN, the interview was conducted ahead of a live webTV show as part of a promotion campaign for the new computer game, "XCOM, Enemy Unknown."

Nick Pope
told MSN: "We do have several prototype aircraft and drones and other weapons you won't see on the news for another 10-15 years so if we did face a threat from the unknown then even if there is no Torchwood around now, there would be something like it by then and they certainly would have some great kit to help in the fight."

He added: "Look at the Taranis, which is a prototype made by BAE Systems. It looks for all the world like a spaceship in the hanger."
