Meeting Richard for the First Time

Surprisingly when it comes to the field of UFOs and specifically speaking about the researchers, you will find that most of them are very welcoming and open to talk to you, if you catch them at the right time. Such was the case when it came to Richard. I had just begun UFO HUB, wanting to interview researchers and contactees about their experiences on film and prior to this one particular conference I attended, I was not able to reach him to set up a time for an interview. So I thought why not approach him at the event and hope for the best.

Needles to say... he wasn't just approachable but very kind and cordial about setting up a time to have a chat about UFOs. The result of which is the video you see above. Having never met him before, my first impression as we started the interview was that he genuinely is interested in the subject and is truly trying to get to the bottom of this.

Over the years I have come to understand that the subject of UFOs has multiple levels of understanding and that in their each unique way they are valid. Collectively they serve the purpose of tying everything together to understand UFOs as a whole but Richard's particular approach to research serves as I lovingly call them the "See, Feel, Touch" crowd of UFO enthusiasts.

He tyes in government documents and the cover-up. From the deepest aspects of the coverup, to contact and abduction, the science behind the phenomenon and how the phenomenon has affected world culture.

There are still many people, on that level of understanding, of the UFOs and Richard fulfills that need very eloquently.

Since the first time. I have had the opportunity to talk to Richard several times on different occasions, covering different aspects of the UFO phenomenon. All of which can be viewed on the UFO HUB YouTube channel. Here are some of those videos below:
