The latest batch of “X-files” released by the UK’s Ministry of Defence appears to solve one of Britain’s most notorious UFO legends. On January 23, 1974, just before 10pm, villagers ran from their homes in the Llandrillo area of North Wales after hearing a loud explosion and seeing mysterious lights in the sky...

During the investigation, it was discovered that, by chance, there had been an earthquake around the time of the reported UFO crash. Experts ruled out an impact as the tremor’s cause, saying there would have been a crater clearly visible. Instead they put it down to a landslide which they suggested coincided with a shower of meteors and lights from poachers’ torches.

The audacity of these government debunkers never ceases to amaze me.   Talk about a conveniently strung together bunch of natural phenomena!  To read the complete article, click here.
