We’ve been writing this monthly column now for nearly seven years, bringing you the latest news, speculation and theor­ies from the wilder shores of ufology. And in all that time you never once had us sussed as MI5 agents, did you? But our cover has been blown and it’s our duty to tell you all – or at least to show you the levels of intellect­ual bankruptcy which underpin the subject. In early December 2009 a ‘D’ list British UFO buff by the name of Richard Hall ran a feature on his website called “MI5 Exposed”. Beneath the headline Hall ‘revealed’ how several leading ufologists, many connected to the “MI5 infiltrated Fortean Times” (!) were responsible for leading the subject astray.
