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

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.
2.
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.
