Nick Pope

Biography:

Nick Pope used to run the British Government's UFO project at the Ministry of Defense. Initially skeptical, his investigation of newly reported UFO incidents and access to government files on the subject soon convinced him that the phenomenon raised important 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 and crop circles. He now continues his research in a private capacity and is recognized as a leading authority on UFOs and the unexplained. He has done extensive media work, has lectured all around the world and has acted as consultant on several TV documentaries.

	Ghosts: Theories & Investigations
	Monday October 20, 2008

Ghost Hunter John Kachuba discussed his investigations, methods, and theories. Ghosts are most often thought of as an energy residue or essence of the deceased, but in some cases we could literally be creating these entities ourselves, he said. If we believe in something strongly, we can create that reality with our mind, he commented, citing the example of tulpas or thoughtforms. Referencing recent developments in quantum physics, Kachuba suggested that ghosts could also be entities from another dimension or parallel universe, or they might be something that never had a human form.In terms of his investigative methods, he employs a dowsing rod to locate areas of interest at potentially haunted sites, and basic tools such as a digital camera and tape recorder. At a former mental asylum in Athens, Ohio an EVP was recorded that clearly said "help us," he shared. Many ghosts aren't necessarily sinister, such as a deceased grandmother who lingers in her kitchen, and has willed h ... More

	UK UFO Files
	Sunday May 25, 2008

Former leader of the UK's UFO Project, Nick Pope joined host George Knapp (email) to discuss recent disclosures from the British Ministry of Defense. This sweeping release of UFO information by the UK government allows for researchers to "go to the raw data," he said, encouraging people to investigate the dedicated website put together by the British National Archives for the files. Pope explained some of the reasons why the UK government decided to release the files. One such motivating factor was to quell the FOIA requests about UFO files that the Ministry of Defense had become inundated with over the last few years. Additionally, last year's release of UFO documents in France created pressure on the British to do the same, he said. Demonstrating the MOD's commitment to open government and attempts to avoid the speculation of a UFO cover-up were also elements that led to the disclosure. He indicated that the first batch of documents to be released covers the years ... More

	UFO Sightings
	Saturday March 18, 2006

Nick Pope, who used to run the British government's UFO project (similar to the USAF's Project Blue Book), discussed disclosure in the U.K. as well as seldom reported craft sightings by pilots and the military. Pope said out of the 200-300 UFO reports he received each year about 80% could be easily explained, 15% had insufficient data to render any conclusions, and the rest comprised what he called extremely interesting cases.One such case occurred on November 5, 1990, Pope recalled. According to a pilot's report, Royal Air Force jets were overtaken by a large metallic object in the sky and had to take evasive action to avoid it. Pope said pilots often won't report spotting UFOs because they either don't know how to describe the objects or are frightened it could end their career. Another interesting UFO incident occurred in March 1993, Pope explained, when a massive triangular craft was seen flying over two British military bases. The object was described by a air force police ... More
