You’re a highly trained member of one of the world top counter-terrorist units and you are hunting 3 known members of one of the world’s most notorious terrorist groups and have intelligence that tells you that they are planning to detonate a bomb in a plot to kill your fellow soldiers. You are told that they are going to detonate this bomb imminently and that you are tasked to stop them, you see them making a suspicious move and believe they are about to detonate the bomb via remote.
Of course you are going to shoot them!
I detest armchair generals, unless you were on the ground and/or are privy to all of the intelligence surrounding Operation Flavius you are in no position to make such stupid claims that they had a standing “shoot to kill” policy.
Such claims are simply not true, the SAS, indeed no part of the British military or intelligence establishment had such a policy. I can recall once hearing Sir Peter de la Billiere talking on the radio and some journalist asked him about the “shoot to kill policy”, he quite eloquently put the idiot in his place by pointing out that if there really was a “shoot to kill” policy they could have been done with the troubles in a matter of months.
But this is all getting very off topic other than it demonstrates that the SAS would not have just shot at some random people (even if they were aliens) without reasonable cause.
I really can’t believe that you think that the SAS are killing squads that just roamed around the Irish country side sniping at anyone that looked a bit funny.

I took the trouble to e-mail Nick Pope regarding this matter. He worked on the MoD UFO desk in 1993.
He replied that he was aware of the newspaper story when it broke. But he can state categorically that the MoD desk received no official report on this issue, there is no documentation and there are no on-the-record witnesses.
He did end by saying "interesting, if true".

There's an article of FSR Magazine about 2 squaddies that was on guard duty when they got startled by some unknow hairy biped in front of them, and when they ran they was chased by a flying disc. Incident happened at dawn and the squaddies was in a foxhole on some training in UK
George Price, however, reported something several degrees stranger – something which had lived in his mind, as clear as day, for eight years. It happened in September 2002, when he was serving in the Army. He wrote: “We were on exercises on Salisbury Plain. I was a commander in the turret of our tank, and we were advancing to contact our warriors. I was scanning the landscape when I turned to my 5 o’clock and looked right at a large, ape-like figure. It looked scared because of the noise from the engines and tanks were moving at speed all around. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I punched my gunner to look at it because he couldn’t hear me over the engine. We both saw it run into nearby prickly shrubs. “Its fur was similar to an orang-utan in colour, and the length and flow of it. Its face looked black, or darkish, but I couldn’t see its facial features, being too high an angle above it. It was more its gait – the way it moved: it was very fast and seemed to run with large strides. Its height was impressive too, it must have been 6ft-plus, but it seemed to run with its back low, i.e. bent over. It was an amazing sight to see it disappear into the shrubs. I kept staring at the spot as my tank was moving away but it never emerged again, as if there was a hole below the bush it dived into. I observed the area at distance for a while via the tank’s optics but nothing else was seen. It must have been terrified to move with half the British army tearing Salisbury Plain up. “I told my superiors as soon as we stopped but it was laughed off so I never mentioned it much after. I did ask my gunner about it and he said he had seen it but not well enough to describe it. It has bothered me to this day, so I thought I would share it with you. I wish I had stopped to see it now. It was right next to me. Very strange.”
