On 1 December 2009 the UK Ministry of Defence closed its public-facing UFO investigations unit (hotline + email suspended), citing 50+ years with no report showing a threat. The DI55 intelligence-collection arm had already closed end-2000.
Marks the wind-down of UK official UFO handling after Project Condign. The MoD said there was no defence value in continuing to receive sightings. Files (DEFE 24 series, ~60,000 pages) transferred to The National Archives at Kew between 2008-2013. Follows the findings of project_condign.
