Description
Nick Pope will discuss the Ministry of Defence’s policy on UFOs, explain how investigations are undertaken and discuss some of the UK’s best known UFO sightings. He’ll give some new insights into Britain’s most famous UFO incident, in Rendlesham Forest, and will discuss his investigation into a case from 1993 which involved liaison with the US Embassy and led to the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff being briefed. Nick will also discuss the MoD’s remote viewing study and their involvement in the crop circle mystery. Finally, Nick will talk about the Freedom of Information Act, the release of MoD files on UFOs, and all the latest UFO-related news.
Nick used to work at the Ministry of Defence, where from 1991 to 1994 he was posted to a division where his duties included investigating UFOs. Initially sceptical, his official research and investigation convinced him that the UFO phenomenon raised important defence, national security and flight safety issues. He was particularly interested in cases where the witnesses were pilots or where UFOs were tracked on radar. Nick is now recognised as a leading authority on UFOs and the unexplained.
