I read that, and it's nice way to transfer their responsibility through "closure". Ask Nick Pope who held the top position for the British defense ministry on ufo's for a decade. He STILL can't disclose what he knows.
Although he is no longer on the payroll, he still is under a gag order. This stuff was so highly classified, he STILL is not allowed to discuss it, so what the reason for that? BECAUSE THERE'S MORE THERE THAN THE MOD IS WILLING TO ADMIT.

Thet have officially denied any interest in the British crop circles, that they even helped civilian reserachers or that "D notices" were ever issued. (Media censorship). Yet, civilian crop circle researcher Colin Andrews has decades of documents they WERE involved. He worked with them, was invited to their headquarters and bases, and a "D Notice" WAS issued during Operation Blackbird back in the early 90's, which they officially denied. If any of you want to have an inside look into the BS "official" runaround they give the public, then you can watch Colin Andrews' presentation at the Exopolitc Conference in Washington DC this past April.

It's 90 minutes long. He discusses his long relationship with Nick Pope and the involvement in denial of the crop circle phenomena. If you have any interest in how things REALLY ARE, you may want to watch this:
