Search Nick Pope. There are some great interview stuff he did that’s on youtube. He used to be the British guy in charge of the U.K. Ministry of Defense.
He was? Where did you get the idea that he was in charge of the UK Ministry Of Defence?
I misspoke actually. He was an employee at the UK Ministry Of Defense charged with the UFO research and sightings.
So, British Mulder?
Only in Nick Pope’s mind. He was the man at the MoD who collated UFO sighting reports and enquiries from the public - as to try and ascertain whether any of them had any ‘defence significance’.
For example, farmer Bob saw one of the RAF’s new test planes late last night on the way back from the pub and thinks it was from another galaxy - Pope would record/sift farmer Bob’s statement. Said plane would then not fly near where farmer Bob’s (or from other people in the area) reports of UFO’s again.
Also, if it wasn’t one of the ‘ours’ etc then it’d noted and likely investigated as to find out whose plane it was, or if just a pilot off-course etc.
All the files are now declassified (and some were at the time of writing) and available at the UK National Archives.
He’s made a good career out for himself though since he quit the MoD over 20+ years ago as a ‘self-styled UK Mulder’ and UFO expert - and can write a decent fiction book. Fair play to him.
Then again, many people big up or exaggerate a bit what they do for a living…
