UFOs in UK around one a month - Head of Air Traffic Control

Richard Deakin confirms in a new audio clip recorded by the BBC that UFOs are a common occurrence over UK airspace, all be it in a jovial manner, but a Yes is a Yes no matter how you interpret it.

Over 6,000 flights a day need to be moved through UK airspace safely and as quickly as possible each day. Richard Deakin, of Nats, formerly National Air Traffic Services Limited, is responsible for making sure this happens.

When asked by the Today programme's Simon Jack whether his staff encounter unidentified flying objects, he said that occasionally there are objects "that don't conform to normal traffic patterns...typically around one a month".
