Captain william Schaffner was a
officer. 28-Year-
His family were never told the results of the
official inquiry into the crash.
The Ministry of
Defence has
previously insisted
that the report on the
crash was shredded.
His sons, Glenn and
Mike Schaffner, have
been trying to
discover the truth
about their father’s
yea rs.
disappearance for CaDtain William Schaffner

Their efforts have not solved the mystery,

Until now.
Secret documents and classified
photographs of the RAF fighter have been
exclusively obtained from the Ministry of
Defence by the BBC’S Inside Out team.
The following will finally give the brothers
the information they desire and deserue:

J aircraft that the Captain was trying

seen the aircraft in the water.

The Captain had simply flown too
low trying to get beneath his
target and hit the sea.
Caotain Schaffner had not been
properly trained to carry out the
exercise he had been asked to
undertake,
When he tried to bail out, his
ejector seat failed to operate.

These points appears to suggest that the

crash was an unfortunate accident with a
plausible explanation.
Th is should destroy some of the alien
abduction rumours, which have angered
and upset Captain Schaffne.’s sons for
yea rs.
A fuw budding UFologists may still not
accept this explanation, due to distrust of
the Ministry of Defence documentation.
Former North
Yorkshire policeman
Tony Dodd told
Inside Out."I
don’t
think that we will
ever get to the
bottom of what
happened because
the RAF would never
acceot that a UFO
could be involved."
Tonv Dodd is unconvlnced
Reporter Sophie Hull about the incident
said, "Some aspects of Capt. Schaffner’s
disappearance can’t be explained.
"But we believe this is as close to a detailed
explanation of what actually happened that
anyone will get."
It appears to be enough for Captain
Schaffner’s sons.

MOLESWORTH OPENS AGAIN WITH A NEW MISSION
THE JOINT ANALYSIS CENTER
JAC APPROVAL AND ACTIVATION
Approximately a year after the 303rd Tactical Missile Wng left
RAF Molesworth the base was assigned a new mission. On 1
September ’1989 four individuals arrived at Molesworth bringing
with them the whispers of a new intelligence mission.
During the Fall of 1990 and Spring of 1 991 the rumblings of a
new mission grew louder.
After discussions between the British
Government, the United States and NATO authorities, the United States European
Command decided to develop RAF Molesworth as a new intelligence base.
In late
Spring of 1991 Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher authorized the formation of a Joint
Analysis Center ("JAC")at RAF Molesworth. After additional planning and high level
approvals, final approval for the JAC was granted. The JAC was activated at
Molesworth on 1 October 1991.
JAC MISSION AND PERSONNEL
The role of the JAC is to process and analyze military information from a variety of
sources for the benefit of the United States and NATO.
Responsibility consists of

Thank you foryour letter of 15 June on behalf of a number of
your constituents, concerning unusual sightings wi. tnessed in the
Staf ford area dur j.ng the evening of I6 l,Iay 1!88,

As you nay know,the Ministry of Defence receives and.

ord.inates i.nfornation about Unidentified FIy!ng 0bjects (Uf,Os;,
co_
usually in the forn of brief reports of the sightings which have been
passed onto us by those individuals who ni tnessed then0. Our sole
concern is then to establish whether or not the sightings present a
threat to the security and defence of the united Kingdorn, r.rnless we
j- normal-ly
judge that they do, and this is not
j- .
usually attenpt any further n v e s t i g a t o n

far as the 16 May sightings are concerned,I can confirn that
r+9 received a number of reports fron nenbers of the public, rrhich
appear to correspond roughly with the details given by your
constituents and. r enclose copies of these, which your constituents
nay find of interest. In order to naintain the privacy of the report
originators, you wilL see that sone details have been obseured.
Although as I have said. above, we d.o not normaLly find it
necessary to investigate specific sightings, and could not justify
the use of scarce MOD resources to this end, I an advised by ny
staff that the reported phenomenon is quite likely to be connected

In the 1950s,the Air Ministry, produced a ’minimum format’, a one page,’UFO’
reporting procedure for both public and military reporting of the phenomena. Reports
of sightings from either military or civilian sources were sent to Defence Intelligence
Staff (DlS)from the Air Staff in case they contained any information which was of
I value in DIS’s task of analysing the performance and threat of foreign weapons
I systems,nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programmes and technologies
i and emerging technologies, However, none of the reports received over a period of
30 years have yielded any valuable information whatsoever. DIS therefore decided
in DeCitinbei 2006not to receive these reports any longer.
