This article features a response by British researcher Colin Andrews, now living in the USA, to the questions posed to Professor Frank Drake who was instrumental in creating S.E.T.I. This focuses on his reaction to the infamous Chilbolton crop formation which was linked to the Arecibo radio array in Central America.
In addition a second video courtesy of the 2009 X-Conference and produced by Exopolitics Germany and Denmark can be seen here covering Colin's recent lecture which is based on his recent book 'Government Circles'. Colin's revelations - based on testimony and documents from the last couple of decades - shines an interesting light on the extent of UK state inolvement in both crop circles and the wider UFO arena.

Of particular interest is the apparent clash of views between Andrews and ex-MoD employee Nick Pope. Evidence appears to point towards Pope having consistently promoted [whether in a formal post or otherwise] the idea that the state and military in Britain have no real interest in these issues - a view that is countered by Andrews' first hand involvement in situations like Operation Blackbird and several documentary sources showing more than a passing interest by British Royals and others.
Interestingly in an audio interview from some time ago with Exopolitics UK - we asked Nick what he thought of the general disclosure theme we regards the UK as the interview came in the wake of the bizarre Eastfield Circle episode where at several points some evidence arose of official interest. At that time Nick declared that the UK "had little to disclose" beyond the FOIA type file release we're now aware of. Both Andrews presentation and his book are crucial to grasping some sort of perspective on the British exopolitical stance.
