During his second term as Prime Minister, Churchill attempted to cover-up the supposed sightings of UFOs in Britain. Ministers in Churchill's Conservative government were briefed weekly during 1957 that supposed unidentified flying objects had been seen in the skies across the United Kingdom. But the Prime Minister did not want the public to panic should a UFO collide with any RAF bombers, so he ordered that the information be kept secret for at least 50 years.
