2009 update
In a pro-UFO TV programme first
broadcast
in 2009 called I Know What I
Saw, Pope was interviewed about the radiation
readings at Rendlesham. In this interview, Pope did not
rely on
his now-discredited ‘investigation’ discussed above
but showed instead this
internal memo from the
Ministry
of Defence files which says in part: “The value of 0.1
milliroentgens (mr) ... seems significantly higher than
the
average background of about 0.015 mr.” Pope described
the
memo as “One of the most important documents to emerge
from the MoD’s case files... absolute proof positive
that
something extraordinary happened”. To see the interview,
go here and
scroll to 8:00 minutes in.
The MoD files make it clear that
they never
undertook any investigation into the radiation levels at
Rendlesham so they never established the truth about the
readings reported by Halt. The opinion in the MoD memo
was
based on the same assumptions as Pope’s own cursory
‘investigation’, namely that the radiation reading
was a steady level and taken with an appropriate
instrument. As
we have seen, both these assumptions are incorrect – it
was a random peak recorded by a meter designed to
measure much
higher levels of radiation. Hence the opinon quoted by
Pope is
no ‘proof’ at all and would doubtless have been
withdrawn had the MoD established the full facts laid
out
above.
