THE Queen and Prince Philip were gripped by the mystery of crop circles, it was revealed yesterday.

Letters seen by The Sun showed the couple asked to be kept informed about the weird farmland patterns.

Her Maj also asked an aide to send a sympathetic letter to Britains leading expert whose research was under threat.

And Philip was so intrigued he had newsletters on the circles thought by many to be created by extraterrestrial beings sent to Buckingham Palace.

They were published by researcher Colin Andrews, 61, an ex-local government engineer.

He said yesterday that his book Circular Evidence was placed on a summer reading list prepared for the Queen.

He later received a letter from her private secretary. It read: Her Majesty has taken an interest in the mysterious crop circles for some time and was sad to hear your results of years of research into the question are at risk through lack of funds.

Meanwhile, Philip paid £6 for an annual subscription to Colins crop circle round-up.

Colin said: What has infuriated me is that the MoD continues to deny the Royal Family took an interest in the subject when I know for a fact they did.

The Royal fascination matched the nations at the height of the phenomena in the 1980s and 1990s.

British Royal Family Intrigued by UFOs and Crop Circles

Colin Andrews, has been asked to remove details of the British Royal's family interest in crop circle research from his website. On the site he states that their interest was aroused because crop circles appeared on their land.

Colin's book 'Circular Evidence' was on the Queen's Summer Reading list in 1989 and HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh subscribed to his Circles Phenomenon Research Newsletter. The Duke also asked Colin to keep him up-to-date with his research.

Colin states that the British public has been continually lied to in regard to the Royal Family's interest in UFOs. He thinks it is about time the public is told the truth about this matter.

Nick Pope who was formerly head of the Ministry of Defence's UFO department replies that:

"Some of the issues Colin highlights have arisen because the line between official and private interest - even within government, the military and the intelligence agencies - can be blurred. There are particular sensitivities and political difficulties when members of the Royal Family are involved.

"I agree that the MoD has downplayed its interest and involvement in the crop circle issue, as it has with the UFO phenomenon. This has been the policy for many years and it's no secret that I had to play my part in this when I worked for the government."

The Royal family's interest in UFOs actually goes back to the 1950s.
Earl Louis Mountbatten was one of the first subscribers to the highly-influential "Flying Saucer Review" magazine when it began publication in 1955, and he received copies right up to the time of his death in August 1979.

The Duke of Edinburgh kept a map at Buckingham Palace showing the location of UFO sightings on his wall and he asked the British Air Ministry to send him a copy of every UFO report they received. He also allowed his equerry, Sir Peter Horsley, to discreetly study UFO cases and to bring UFO witnesses to the Palace for private discussions.

One of these witnesses was Stephen Darbishire, who took two photographs of a UFO flying near Coniston, in the Lake District on 15 February 1954. Along with his father, he spoke to a private secretary at Buckingham Palace in March 1954. Another visitor was BOAC Captain, James Howard, who had seen a group of UFOs in June 1954 whilst flying over the North Atlantic..........

British Government secretly studies crop circles & UFO connection

At a conference in the Washington DC metropolitian area, famed crop circle researcher Colin Andrews revealed that the UK government has covered up the extent of official and Royal family interest in the crop circle phenomenon. There were also efforts to suppress any investigation into a connection between UFOs and crop circles. Finally, Andrews revealed how the 1987 crash of a British Harrier jet was caused by it passing through an unknown energy field created by crop circles. While the British government has released various files concerning its investigations of the UFO phenomenon, it has not released files showing the extensive investigations it has conducted on the crop circle phenomenon.

Andrews was presenting at the 2009 X-Conference which has brought together over 30 researchers and activists interested in the policy implications of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Presenting on the first day of the conference, Andrews said he was replying to a number of mistaken claims in an article by a former British Ministry of Defense employee, Nick Pope..............
