It feels a little like the MoD are being attacked for not investigating these things more seriously, but as a taxpayer I'm not particularly upset by that. What do you think? Should I be?

It depends. If all they have is unreliable, inconsistent eyewitness testimony, then it's acceptable to ignore. If they have physical samples they've not tested or electromagnetic readings they've not had analysed, then it's an incompetent blind spot.

Personally, I would think unknown objects in the air over the U.K. would be a matter worth investigating regardless of what they could be.

What if they were some crazy Soviet nuclear attack airplane or something? Or some sort of weird spy plane? Or, well, aliens.
