Former British MoD Chief Concerned About Lack of UFO Surveillance
Posted on November 7, 2006
The Daily Mail reports that Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence chief, is concerned that Britain is no longer monitoring UFO sightings leaving the country vulnerable to an alien invasion.
During his time as head of the Ministry of Defence UFO project, Nick Pope was persuaded into believing that other lifeforms may visit Earth and, more specifically, Britain.It is a fair question to ask. Why isn't there more concern about UFO sightings? We watch for asteroids which are concerned a rare threat. We don't actually know how likely an alien invasion is so it would make since to gather information about all ufo sightings at a bare minimum.His concern is that "highly credible" sightings are simply dismissed.
And he complains that the project he once ran is now "virtually closed" down, leaving the country "wide open" to aliens.
Mr Pope decided to speak out about his worries after resigning from his post at the Directorate of Defence Security at the MoD this week.
"The consequences of getting this one wrong could be huge," he said.
"If you reported a UFO sighting now, I am absolutely sure that you would just get back a standard letter telling you not to worry. ''Frankly we are wide open - if something does not behave like a conventional aircraft now, it will be ignored.
