About Richard Thomas Richard Thomas lives in Swansea, South Wales, and graduated from Swansea University with a BA in American Studies in 2007. Richard grew up watching science fiction shows, including his all-time favourite program: Doctor Who. As a child, this enthusiasm for sci-fi evolved into an interest in space, UFOs and other esoteric subjects. In 2008, Richard began to write his regular "Room 101" column for the popular esoteric website Binnall of America, a bi-weekly column focusing on parapolitics and the unexplained, in addition to interviews with some of the leading researchers in these fields, including among others, Nick Pope, Timothy Good and Nick Redfern. Soon after that, he started writing a sci-fi / TV related column for Stuart Miller's Alien Worlds Magazine. In 2009, he expanded his contributions to Binnall of America with a second column, titled "Sci-Fi Worlds," exploring the connection between science fiction and the esoteric. Recently, he’s contributed feature articles for publications such as the glossy Paranormal Magazine and UFO Matrix Magazine. He is the author of PARA-NEWS - UFOs, Conspiracy Theories, Cryptozoology and much much more published by Bretwalda Books. Follow him on Twitter @RichardThomas.
