Ross Coulthart, in one of his first UFO/UAP investigations for 7NEWS Australia, looked into sightings from the UK. Nick Pope was cleared to read Britain's most closely held state secrets. The former employee of the Ministry of Defence was pulled aside to investigate the threat to British national security posed by UFOs. What Nick Pope found in those secret files was intriguing, but one incident left him questioning for the first time whether the truth really is out there. The turning point was the 1993 Cosford incident and the Rendlesham incident. Ross speaks with Nick Pope, witness Darren Perks, Colonel Charles Halt, former RAAF Commander Alan Turner, and Professor Chris French. This story originally aired on Sunday Night in 2009.
