Rupert Matthews On UFOs And The British RAF

In my latest column for Tim Binnall’s website, Binnall of America, I interviewed paranormal author-investigator Rupert Matthews about his many books. You can read the text interview in full here. And below you can find an extract where I get the researcher’s thoughts on the controversial decision to close down the British UFO Project and the many rumours of recovered alien hardware.

Richard Thomas: Recently, the British Ministry of Defense decided to close down their UFO desk, a strange decision perhaps given the large increase in UFO sightings we’ve had in the UK in recent years. What do you think were the real motives behind this action and are there any parallels to be drawn with the US Air Force’s closing down of Project Bluebook back in 1969?

Rupert Matthews: I spoke to a fairly senior RAF officer about this. His view was that UFOs were not the business of the RAF. He said that the RAF was there to fly missions over Afghanistan, keep an eye on Russian spy planes and such like. He was prepared to accept that there MIGHT be an objective reality to the UFO phenomenon, but seemed to think it was a job for the intelligence services. Until we know what UFOs are and why they are here, he did not think the RAF should be involved. The RAF has more than enough to keep itself busy. Whether that is the real reason I have no idea, but that was his view.

Richard Thomas: What’s your take on the many rumours of an ultra covert British UFO group and recovered alien technology? And how much do you think the British Government know about UFOs compared to their American counterparts?

Rupert Matthews: I know that the US and UK intelligence services share a lot of information, but not everything. I would expect them to share the broad outlines about what they know about UFOs, but would maybe keep juicy details to themselves. As for alien technology, that presupposes that UFOs are alien spacecraft and that one or more has crashed and been recovered. I’m not entirely convinced by either of these suggestions. I know the alien spacecraft theory is the most popular among UFO researchers, but while it may well turn out to be the case, I think it is a case of “not proven” for now.

About Richard Thomas:

Richard Thomas lives in Swansea, South Wales, and graduated from Swansea University with a BA in American Studies in 2007. Richard grew up watching science fiction shows, including his all-time favourite program: Doctor Who. As a child, this enthusiasm for sci-fi evolved into an interest in space, UFOs and other esoteric subjects.

In 2008, Richard began to write his regular ‘Room 101′ column for the popular esoteric website Binnall of America, a bi-weekly column focusing on parapolitics and the unexplained, in addition to interviews with some of the leading researchers in these fields, including among others, Nick Pope, Timothy Good and Nick Redfern. Soon after that, he started writing a sci-fi / TV related column for Stuart Miller’s Alien Worlds Magazine.

In 2009, he expanded his contributions to BoA with a second column, titled ‘Sci-Fi Worlds,’ exploring the connection between science fiction and the esoteric.

Recently, he’s contributed feature articles for publications such as the glossy Paranormal Magazine and Scott Burditt’s Doomwatch Fanzine.
