The British Ministry of Defence (MOD) has published further witness reports of UFOs after receiving numerous requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Previously, classified records were not released for 30 years. The MOD recently released details of sightings since 1998 and will publish 24 further documents dating back to 1967. In 2006 they received 97 reports of UFO sightings and 128 the previous year. The 2006 sightings included glowing lights seen in formation in White Roding, Essex, a bright disc hanging over Newquay, Cornwall, four golden spheres over West Kilbride, Ayrshire, and a mother ship and two smaller orbs moving around it over Barlaston, Staffordshire. The MOD received reports of eight UFO sightings in and around Plymouth, Devon, since 1998, including a huge shimmering ball of orange fire flying eastwards in March 2006, 50 objects in line formation in October 2001 and three 100ft sphere-shaped white objects reported over Gulworthy, Devon.
