PSNI tight-lipped on city UFOs

The PSNI are remaining tight-lipped about strange lights in the sky in the North West because “the cost of complying...would exceed the ‘appropriate costs limit’” for a Freedom of Information request.

The police were asked for details of UFO sightings reported to the PSNI in Foyle, Strabane and Limavady during each of the last five years.

In a statement police advised: “PSNI recording systems do not have a specific Occurrence Code for this type of activity. To retrieve this information would require a manual search of every command and control serial without a recognised identifier.

“There are thousands of occurrences which have not been allocated an Occurrence Code and allowing a minimum search time of 8 hours per year would mean that it would take at least 40 hours to retrieve the requested information.”
