As the UK Follow the French and Release their UFO based material, Nick Pope talks to Exopolitics UK about this and more.
It's funny how this whole area has been historically sidelined and yet FOI requests to governments that have such a system in place are dominated by queries for UFO type documentation. When France staged its mass file release, the server they had deployed crashed from sheer volume of enquiries. This situation is mirrored when we personally release media using internet-based mechanisms such as torrent files - we find that the demand for exopolitical themed media is huge, even if some of these are 'closet' researchers!
Infamous on the UK and global UFO community circuits for years, Nick spent an hour talking to us on a wide range of issues including: if there is anything to disclose, SETI and next generation space telescopes, the use of the astronomical/science pathway to 'announce' the ET presence, role of the US in disclosure, contradictions of the UK-US 'close' relationship and UFO field, UFOlogy's editing of true weirdity, why UFOlogy is a multi-disciplinary game, the reliance on pseudo-hard science, how exopolitics functions within the wider research framework, Nick's current article on Roswell in the UK press and press acceptance of the subject, the 2007 X-Conference and deploying the term exopolitics.

Nick Pope used to run the British Government's UFO project at the Ministry of Defence. Initially sceptical, his research and investigation into the UFO phenomenon and access to formerly classified government files on the subject soon convinced him that the phenomenon raised important defence and national security issues, especially when the witnesses were military pilots or where UFOs were tracked on radar.
Nick also looked into other mysteries such as alien abductions, crop circles and ghosts. He now continues his research in a private capacity and is recognised as a leading authority on UFOs and the unexplained. He does extensive media work, lectures all around the world and has acted as consultant on numerous television documentaries.
