Not seen on Monty Python:
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is Alan Cransworth of the BBC. With me today is General Anonymous from the Ministry of Defence to discuss UAPs or Unexplained Aerial Phenomena.
General, the public is wondering what to make of this. What can you tell us?
Well Alan. I can say that American pilots have seen objects they cannot identify. As regards the UK, I'm obliged to say nothing.
I see. So, are these objects enemy drones or spaceships from other planets, or something else?
Yes.
Meaning?
They could be anything. Flocks of birds, meteors or balloons.
Then why the concern at the Pentagon?
My colleagues at the Pentagon know that the best pilots, the best radar operators and the most sophisticated imaging systems in the world can't identify them, so they are concerned.
But General, surely someone has come to some conclusion. I mean, if these are Russian or Chinese drones, for example, then what is the proper response?
I'm not at liberty to say. But I will say this. Alien spaceships are right out. We'll flood all media channels with the appropriate level of ridicule should we detect anyone believing that.
Of course. So, what is the point of ongoing study? I mean these objects are a threat or they are not. Which is it?
All the public needs to know is that we are doing something.
Meaning?
You know, forming groups/offices/committees, that sort of thing.
General, can you provide some definitive answers?
I just did.
Right. This is Alan Cransworth of the BBC.
