Keir Starmer should ‘do a Trump’ and release Britain’s X-Files, according to a top UFO researcher. Documentary film-maker Mark Christopher Lee has called on the Prime Minister to follow the US President’s lead and tell all about possible UK alien close encounters.
Lee spoke out after claiming videos released in Donald Trump ’s latest batch of US files includes ‘at least one’ which ‘may be proof that we are not alone’. It features a mystery craft clashing with an MQ-9 drone on the Syrian border in 2021.
Lee wrote on X: “HOLY C***. This one is WILD. MQ-9 Reaper drone gets a weapons-quality lock on the object near the Jordan-Syria border. Then it does instantaneous acceleration + abrupt direction change – one of the classic ‘five observables’ that still blows minds.
“No visible propulsion. No conventional explanation. This is official military sensor footage just dropped today.”
Lee said the Brit Government should follow Trump in offering the public full disclosure on reported close encounters with UFOs – aka UAPs or Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon – many involving the military and contained in classified files.
“The Ministry of Defence has repeatedly claimed that UFOs are ‘not of defence significance’,” said Lee.
“That position is no longer tenable. The new US files released this week on war.gov clearly show American military forces actively pursuing and shooting down a UFO in their airspace.
“If unidentified objects are being engaged by the US military we must assume the same is happening – or has happened – in British skies. The time for blanket denials is over.”
Lee, whose research includes direct contact with serving and former UK military personnel, said there had been a human cost to the culture of silence. “From my years of investigation I know that British pilots, radar operators, and military service men and women have witnessed and in some cases interacted with UFOs,” Lee said.
“Many have told me they will not go public or even file official reports because they fear ridicule and damage to their careers. This culture of suppression must stop now. Our armed forces deserve to be heard without fear.
“We are not alone. There is clearly something operating in our skies that is not our technology. These are not balloons, drones, or misidentified aircraft. The phenomena demand proper open scientific investigation – not continued dismissal by the Ministry of Defence.
“I respectfully call on Sir Keir Starmer to match President Trump’s commitment to disclosure. Release every UK UFO file held by the MoD, the RAF, and intelligence agencies. Establish a transparent, scientifically-led UAP investigation unit.
“The British public has the right to know what is in our skies, and our service personnel must be free to speak without fear of repercussions. This is a defining moment for humanity’s future. Britain must not be left behind.
“The walls are coming down. Full disclosure is no longer a question of ‘if’ it is a question of ‘when’. The United Kingdom should lead, not follow.”
