There's no doubt that Winston Churchill had his share of secrets. When you're leading a world power during wartime, classified information come with the territory. But did one of his closely held secrets have to do with "little green men"? A new report contends that the English Bulldog may have played a part in a UFO cover-up.

It's a conspiracy theory worthy of the "X-Files," and it goes like this: Churchill, then the prime minister, apparently ordered a cover-up of an encounter between a Royal Air Force bomber and an unidentified flying object during World War II. The reason: Churchill feared that news of the incident would create public panic and a loss of faith in religion.

The Daily Telegraph explains that Churchill is reported to "have made the orders during a secret war meeting with U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower, the then commander of the Allied Forces, at an undisclosed location in America during the latter part of the conflict." He ordered that the information remain secret for a period of 50 years.

So, who is claiming that Churchill ordered the cover-up? The U.K.'s National Archives, which hosts the newly released documents, works through how the news came to light.

Apparently, Churchill's order was overheard by one of his bodyguards. The man, also a member of the Royal Air Force, kept the secret to himself for years, but told his daughter at some point, and told his wife on his deathbed in 1973. The man's daughter later told her son (the bodyguard's grandson, for those of you keeping score), and he inquired about the incident with the Ministry of Defense in 1999. That inquiry made it into the files that were made public on Thursday.

According to the report, the crew of the plane did manage to take photographs of the UFO, which "hovered noiselessly" near their plane before zooming away. Alas, the photos, if they do indeed exist, were not released.

Decades later, it's still not known if the UFO was actually a UFO or something more earthbound. Initially, some theorized that the object was a missile. However, a weapons expert, who was present at the infamous meeting, was reported to have remarked that no missile could stop and hover. Such a thing was "totally beyond any imagined capabilities of the time."

Not surprisingly, the report inspired an avalanche of Web searches. Online lookups for "churchill ufo" and "churchill ufo coverup" both shot skyward, posting breakout gains in the Search box. If Churchill did indeed intend for this to be kept quiet, he did a good job for a long time. But now, the UFO is out of the bag... big time.

I, as well, have no doubt alien life form exist out there. If you just run simple calculations the possibility another life form exist is very high. My only reason as to why they would come & colonize our planet is because they are somehow out of resources and need a new planet to live & harvest. Obviously, if their tech and their intelligence is superior to ours, they would probably know it's probably not the easiest place to colonize because they would face resistance. Might just be easier to find another planet with less resistance and free to do as they please. Maybe war & extermination is not their goal since they would be highly more advance than us.

If another civilization has evolved and advanced to the point they are traveling vast distances across space, then it's a pretty good assumption that their technology would surpass ours to the point that we could offer no resistance at all. If an alien species has overcome the technological requirements of having energy output necessary for long distance space travel, then it's a reasonable assumption that they also have the ability to create weapons and defense systems that we can't even conceive of. We likely wouldn't have much of a chance at all.

Reads a lot like a social commentary about humans. Namely, the divide between developed and developing cultures.
