WikiLeaks to reveal UFO references in cables

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange was in a Q&A with Guardian readers today.

He was asked this question:

Mr Assange, have there ever been documents forwarded to you which deal with the topic of UFOs or extraterrestrials?

He replies:

Many weirdos email us about UFOs or how they discovered that they were the anti-christ whilst talking with their ex-wife at a garden party over a pot-plant. However, as yet they have not satisfied two of our publishing rules.
1) that the documents not be self-authored;
2) that they be original.
However, it is worth noting that in yet-to-be-published parts of the cablegate archive there are indeed references to UFOs.

Aces. I’m looking forward to that.

1. Richard

Oh God, the conspiracy theorists will be creaming themselves!

2. Watchman

Sunny,

Never knew you were a UFO enthusiast.

As nothing has been revealed yet, can we safely assume said files do not reveal the existence of a secret US government research facility in Nevada (or a secret UK government research facility masquerading as a medium-sized town at the south-western point of Cumbria, as I once heard suggested, although that might be more to do with the inhabitants of Barrow-in-Furness than anythign else)?

3. Mr S. Pill

Well obviously Assange is one of our reptilian overlords from the constellation Draco and all this information is to divert us from the real issues at hand.

4. Dunc

all this information is to divert us from the real issues at hand.

Which it seems to be doing remarkably well…

5. Mr S. Pill

Oh @2

“we safely assume said files do not reveal the existence of a secret US government research facility in Nevada”

We don’t need them to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51

(No, it doesn’t test alien aircraft etc but it’s probably where the US tested the Stealth bomber).

6. Cherub

It’ll probably reveal that Stoke is wholly inhabited by Martians.

7. leon

Oh dear the tinfoil hat brigade must be wetting themselves with excitement…

8. Mr Hugh Mann

Ahem, er, of course we know that all these UFO sightings, if indeed that is what they are, are completely false, and the suggestion that aliens from the planet Korzola 5 are currently living amongst humans for an “interspecies breeding program”, or “package holiday”, are also equally false.
Anyway, back to enjoying the holiday season…

9. Josefius

Laugh all you want, idiots.

10. Briar

No, Cherub. Wigan is inhabited by Martians.

11. Ian

I hope it’s remembered that a UFO is just that. An unidentified flying object. Probably rather boring. Certainly compared with the rest of the stuff in Wikileaks.

12. Russell

Or it might be related to Gary McKinnon.

13. Mulligrubs

Josefius @9 “Laugh all you want idiots”

OK — I’ll humour you just this once – Ha! Ha! – but don’t think I can’t see through your dastardly cosmic disguise – you nearly said ” Laugh all you want Earthlings” Didn’t you? – didn’t you? I’ve marked your card Josefius the Alien – have you heard Slim Whitman yodelling? – you ought to listen to him – you really did.

14. Hodge Podge

@10 As a Wiganer my only reaction is “Cool!!”.

15. DERR UFO McWIKI
