The man who was in charge of investigating UFOs for the Ministry of Defence has told Sky News the government is not taking the threat of extra-terrestrial beings seriously enough.

Nick Pope examined UFOs in the 1990s for the UK military before the unit was disbanded.

He told Sky the US was treating UFOs as a "national security issue" and MPs in the UK should pressurise the government to do the same.

His warning came after a congressional hearing in the US on Wednesday heard testimony from intelligence and military whistleblowers who claimed America had retrieved alien spacecraft and "non-human biologic" pilots.
