Rather surprising, coming from the UK's second most widely read newspaper.

....Wait, the UK ministry of defense has a UFO expert?

It's the Daily Mail. I wouldn't trust a report from that paper if it said my head was on fire and I smelled burning.

School newspapers will be more accurate.

We did at one time have a group part of the MoD that researched UFO sightings, in particular by RAF pilots iirc, not sure if it is still operational though.

Makes me wish things like Prometheus were real life.

We will be watching the skies for UFO's during the Olympics. The problem is that the Daily Mail has forgotten what UFO actually stands for...

And if any alien flying objects do pop up, well, that's what the MANPADS on various roofs and the Type 45 DD parked in the Thames are for

Heh, I just find it amusing that the Daily Mail has sunk to the level of some of the more crackpot youTube videos

If that surprises you, Google "project Blue Book" sometime.  The USAF has spent a ****load of money studying "UFO sightings."

No need to be alarmed, we are simply recording your sporting events for subspace transmission back home.

Believe it or not, Terran athletic competitions are currently in vogue on Cardassia Prime. Don't ask me why, though.

[yuezhi]

[Bobboau]

cock fights were in fashion for a while here on earth, that didn't mean we believed chickens to be our equals.

[Legate Damar]

Fads are inscrutable indeed

It's not a show by Sylvia and Gerry Anderson?

[Flipside]

That's why we've got Fireball XL-5 on standby

You know, in retrospect, the name 'Fireball' for a flying vessel probably wasn't a good choice...

Here's a great example of why I don't trust the Daily Mail. You may remember the story it refers to.
