New report reveals Pentagon planted myths about UFOs in bid to conceal classified weapons programme.

Government distributed fake photos of flying saucers to residents during Cold War era.

Nick Pope , who worked on MoD 's UFO desk for three years from 1991 , claims that some UFO investigators are introducing 'too much religiosity' into their theories.

He said: 'The subject of UAP has gone from fringe to mainstream'.

Mr Pope insists that it is key for those in favour of UFO disclosure to 'push narratives that compete with the religious/spiritual one' Despite the Wall Street Journal's revelations, many UFO believers have only entrenched themselves deeper in conspiracy theories.

Psychologists say that this reaction to the sudden release of new information is normal for conspiracy theorists.
