MOD responds to FOI request about objects over Runcorn

Summary

The request for information regarding seven objects observed over Runcorn in Cheshire on December 7, 2008, found no records in the Ministry of Defence. The MOD explained that it has no expertise in UFO phenomena or extraterrestrial life, and its role is only to check if sightings have national security relevance. In this case, no threat was found, so no further investigation was conducted. The Civil Aviation Authority was suggested for more details. The file was deemed of no further administrative value and destroyed.
