Open Minds UFO Radio: Nick Pope was in charge of the British Ministry of Defence’s UFO desk from 1991 to 1994. It was his job to officially investigate UFO reports, and although he was skeptical at first, the reports convinced him of the serious nature of the phenomenon. He has been an advocate for the serious investigation of UFO sightings ever since.
Recently, he co-wrote a book on the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Encounter at Rendlesham Forest, with two of the main witnesses, John Burroughs and Jim Penniston. This case involved multiple military witnesses seeing UFOs outside of two US Air Force bases in the UK, on lease from the British military. The events took place over several days during the holiday season of 1980. Controversy continues to surround the incident and Pope’s new book as well.
We talk to Pope about the book, the controversy, and his views on some of the most important UFO stories of the year.

OK, is there a problem?
Thanks, Rick
With all of the absolutely believable and authentic UFO incidents that have happened, why focus on this one? It just doesn’t smell right. Something about this feels all wrong, like a complete falsehood, concocted, contrived and not genuine. I’m not the only one who sees this. It just seems like some TV creation that is not actually “other worldly” at all.
I wonder why Zahdio feels this incident is somehow contrived or false? This is the only case with so many witnesses and so many forms of primary evidence… and it’s always seemed important to note that Col. Halt never wanted his memorandum and audio tape to be made public, so how can anybody think this is some kind of contrived media event? I guess some people are just determine to doubt things whether or not they are dubious.
