The English say "enough."
About damn time!

LONDON - Seen a UFO? Don't bother calling the Brits, they've stopped
listening.

The British military has quietly shut down its UFO hotline as a cost-cutting
measure after more than 50 years in operation. No longer will Britons who
think they've seen Martian craft in the sky be able to enlist the services
of Her Majesty's armed forces by reporting suspicious aerial activity to a
toll-free phone number and an e-mail address.

(snip)

"None of the thousands of UFO sightings reported over the years have ever
provided substantiated proof of the existence of extraterrestrials," a
Defense Ministry spokesman said. "There is no defense value in investigating
UFO reports."

(snip)

Andrew MacDonald, a Manchester planning and development officer, said it
makes sense to cut and run after a half century of investigation proved
fruitless.

"I don't believe in them," he said of visitors from outer space. "If the hot
line has been in place for 50 years and nothing has been found, and we still
don't know if anything dangerous exists, then it's about time we stopped
looking."
