It says "UFO Researcher". Please

Simon I happy that you have gotten this chance.

Anything come of this???

As an FYI, Nick Pope is formerly of the MoD, and you'll see his name on a few of the files in the British equivalent of the FOIA files...though that's probably mentioned in the announcement thread above.....

Ive read quite a lot from and about Nick Pope. He is quite an intelligent man and puts across his explanations and findings in a very understandable way. cant wait to read it

But can he really tell/how us stuff we don't know yet?
Have there been a lot of breakthrough discoveries recently?

Oh well, nice catch anyway...

Hello Mr Gray, happy to see your going to interview Mr Pope.

He's a unsuspecting plant during his four years at the "UFO Desk". He was fed exactly what MoD wanted to feed him and since his demise he's been allowed to discomfort UFO belief based on the nonsense fed to him from inside MoD.

My only question for Nick Pope is, explain Penniston and Halt's experiences Dec-Jan, 1980? USAF Bent-waters.

Respectfully

Dallas

Rendlesham Forest UFO case





APPENDIX:
THE HALT MEMO



This is the text of the single-page memo written by Lt. Col. Halt to the UK’s Ministry of Defence. It was on official US Air Force headed notepaper but was not classified in any way. It was dated 13 January 1981, over a fortnight after the events that are described had happened, and headed Unexplained Lights. The items in parentheses are all Halt’s:

A NOTE ON THE DATES: When Col. Halt wrote this memo he relied on memory for the dates, which we now know he got wrong by one day in each case. For the record, in paragraph 1, 27 Dec should be 26 Dec, and in para 2, 29 Dec should be 28. If Halt kept a diary, he evidently never recorded these events in it.




1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately 0300L) two USAF security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside the back gate at RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have crashed or been forced down, they called for permission to go outside the gate to investigate. The on-duty flight chief responded and allowed three patrolmen to proceed on foot. The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object in the forest. The object was described as being metallic in appearance and triangular in shape, approximately two to three meters across the base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen approached the object, it maneuvered through the trees and disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby farm went into a frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately an hour later near the back gate.


2. The next day, three depressions 1.5 inches deep and 7 inches in diameter were found where the object had been sighted on the ground. The following night (29 Dec 80) the area was checked for radiation. Beta/gamma readings of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak readings in the three depressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the depressions. A nearby tree had moderate (0.05–0.07) readings on the side of the tree toward the depressions.


3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the trees. It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw off glowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects and then disappeared. Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects were noticed in the sky, two objects to the north and one to the south, all of which were about 10 degrees off the horizon. The objects moved rapidly in sharp, angular movements and displayed red, green and blue lights. The objects to the north appeared to be elliptical through an 8-12 power lens. They then turned to full circles. The objects to the north remained in the sky for an hour or more. The object to the south was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a stream of light from time to time. Numerous individuals, including the undersigned, witnessed the activities in paragraphs 2 and 3.


(Signed)
Charles I. Halt, Lt Col, USAF
Deputy Base Commander

Sorry Gazrok,

I've been unbelievably pre-occupied in the "real world". I'll get to it asap.

Cant wait, Simon. And I understand the necessity of real world commitments.

I have them too right now. My garden. hence, Ive been lax on other things.
