ADGE 1 aT,T.EGED "UFO" INCIDENT AT THE HOME OF MICHAEL HOWARD

I have been passed a letter which was addressed to the Horne Secretary which asks questions about an alleged "security incident" with a possible "UFO" connection at the then Horne Secretary’s residence on 8 March 1997. Michael Howard was and remains the MP for Folkestone and Hythe and lives in the constituency.

2. U~surprisingly, the Home Office have confirmed that there was no such security incident involving the Horne Secretary on 8 March and in responding along the usual lines I would like to make the following statement:

..... there is no evidence that the UK Air Defence Region was compromised by unauthorized foreign military activity on the date in question." 3. I should be grateful for confirmation that this statement is factual. [original signed]

SeC(AS)" ALLEGED "UFO’ INCIDENT AT THE HOME OF MICHAEL HOWARD Reference:

D/Sec{AS}/64/1 dated Jul 97.

1. At Reference, you asked for confirmation that no unauthorised military activity occurred in the UKADR on 8 Mar 97.

Having consulted HQ 11/18 Gp, I can confirm that there was no such military activity reported anywhere and, specifically, in the Kent/Folkstone area.

3. Additional inquiries with AIS LATCC, West Drayton, have also confirmed that no unusual or unauthorised air activity, civil or military, was reported or observed in that area on that date. LATCC holds a radar recording of air traffic in the Folkstone area for 8 Mar 97. As a precaution, since the Home Secretary was involved, I have asked for the tape to be preserved until 31 Jul 97 in case further enquiries are launched.

Permanent UnJer Secmary ofStat~

26 February 1998

Thank you for your letter of30 January concerning the alleged UFO sighting at the fonner Home Secretary’s home in Kent. As a result bf your letter Kent County Constabulary have rechecked their records between the 1-15 March 1997 and have confinned that no security incident took place at the property in question between these dates or that they have had any correspondence

with~bout

the matter.

Given what the police have had to say, it is doubtful whether much could be gained from a meeting with officials. However should you consider that such a meeting would be helpful who is responsible for the arrangements for Mr then Howard’s security, would be willing to attend and could arrange for a representative from Kent County Constabulary to be present.
