The Real X-Files

When?

Where?
Who?
What's the talk about?

The Ministry of Defence is in the process of declassifying and releasing its entire archive of UFO files.  These go back decades and are packed with thousands of fascinating cases, including UFOs seen by police officers and pilots, and UFOs being tracked on radar.  Some files involve the secretive Defence Intelligence Staff and contain documents that were classified Secret UK Eyes Only.  Nick Pope will explain the history of the British government's involvement with this fascinating subject, setting out the policy on the issue, detailing how investigations are undertaken and revealing what conclusions were reached.  He will also update attendees on the programme to release the MoD's archive of UFO-related documents and will discuss some of the most extraordinary cases from these real-life X-Files.

Nick Pope 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.

Help us: print out our poster for this event and place somewhere people can see it.
