The RAF were besieged with calls from the public reporting six small 'flying saucers'
.in locations which formed a perfect line from the Isle of Sheppey to the Bristol Channel.Previously-classified records show that this 'War of the Worlds' incident in 1967 was, for a few hours at least, treated as a potentially real 'alien invasion' of the UK.
Four police forces, bomb disposal units, the army and the MoD's intelligence branch were all mobilised before it emerged the saucers were a 'rag-day' hoax by engineering students from Farnborough Technical College
