MIKE TO WRITE COLUMN FOR NEW UFO MAGAZINE

Mike Hallowell has been asked to write a regular column

for a new UFO magazine which is due to hit the news-

stands in July.

 

The magazine - UFO Matrix - will be edited by veteran UFO

researcher Philip Mantle. The assistant editor is Malcolm

Robinson, also one of the most knowledgeable experts in

the field.

 

UFO Matrix has pulled together an international team of

columnists, all of whom have an established pedigree in

the field of UFO research. They include Nick Pope (UK),

Steve Johnson (UK), Peter Robbins (USA), Clas Svahn

(Sweden), Scott Corrales (South America), Lee Paqui

(Australia) and Sheryl Gottschall (Australia).

 

Nick Pope, an Executive Officer with the Ministry of Defence, was the MoD’s dedicated “UFO person” between

1991 and 1994. Peter Robbins is the co-author of the book Left at East Gate, written with Larry Warren,

which provided a detailed account of the notorious Rendlesham Forest affair.

 

Mike’s column, entitled BACKLIGHT: Mike Hallowell’s UFO

Cold Case Files, will focus on UFO “cold cases” from the past

that remain unsolved.

 

“My hope is that by re-examining these cases and looking

at them with a fresh pair of eyes it might be possible to

eliminate some of the mystery surrounding them and finally

put to bed some unanswered questions”, says Mike.

 

 

 

Mike’s relationship with Philip Mantle goes back some way.

 

“I remember when Philip was editing QUEST magazine”, adds

Mike, “and I was attempting to make the transition from

local to national publications as a freelance. Philip gave me

my first break, which I’ve always appreciated. We’ve worked

together on a number of projects since, and shared a few

conference platforms. He’s one of the good guys in our

field; honest and reliable”.

 

Mike says that not all the cases in his column will be famous ones which hit the headlines. He firmly believes

that some of the best unsolved cases are those that received little or no publicity. To be honest, the

difference between cases that make international headlines and those that simply sunk without trace is just

a matter of luck and timing. I know of many sightings which never made the news simply because a rookie

reporter somewhere thought the story didn’t add up to much. In different hands it could have been prime-time TV”.
