A retired Air Force officer came clean saying that the UK government hides extraterrestrial life as a top-secret, further describing his own UFO confrontation.

George Filer III is 82 years old and currently serves as the New Jersey director of MUFON, which is an American based non-profit association that studies the UFO phenomena. He is one of the many ex-military and NASA veterans to speak openly about UFOs.

However, he also happens to have 20 years of experience as an Air Force officer. He revealed that some of the events he experienced in the air are rather inexplicable.

Namely, during the Cold War, Filer was placed in Scotland. He remembers piloting a military aircraft that tried to intercept a weird object that was as big as a bridge on the radar.

As they were getting nearer, they were able to see lights off in the distance. He described the lights looked something like a cruise ship at night. There were multiple all over the object.

“As we got, I don’t know, about 5 miles from it — it went up into space. We were doing over 400mph and I would say it was doing 10, 20 times our speed and it was this huge object,” Filer stated.

In the end, they were convinced the object was not something common. In his opinion, however, it looked like a really long cylinder.

Ever since Filer spilled the beans with the American Asbury Park Press, his story went viral online. Now, of course, it’s one of the most favorite topics of the conspiracy theorists.
