One of Britain's highest ranking military officers backs claims that the government is suppressing evidence of a 1,000 mph UFO.

Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton says the craft must have been seen by British radar nearing the South Coast.

Author Derek Sheffield insists four NATO radar stations -- three in Belgium and one in Germany -- tracked a fast-moving triangular craft across Western Europe.

It came within six minutes of entering UK air space, manoeuvring and chaging course 12 times in 22 seconds.

The Ministry of Defence denies it. Two Belgian Air Force F-16 fighters were scrambled to intercept but could not keep up.

Lord Hill-Norton says:

"The facts have been documented and confirmed by the Belgian authorities."

Mr Sheffield, of Rolvenden, Kent, is to publish official Belgian documents from the sighting March 30, 1990 -- including control tower transcripts.
