New Military Mission: UFOs

Via The Telegraph: Peru's air force is going to reopen its UFO department. Not The Onion, it appears. Actually, I wrote a few years ago about a UFO sighting in Peru. Anyway, here's the scoop:

The Department of Investigation of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena, or DIFAA, will bring together sociologists, archaeologists and astronomers, as well as air force personnel, to analyze how often these events occur, where and what times, Vucetich said, according to the official Andina news agency.

Studying civil-military relations, this is not something that typically comes up. But hey, I'd rather have the military aimed at space aliens than internal security.

What's even funnier is that it was closed for several years due to "administrative problems." Which means what? Infiltration?
