Interesting series, however, emphasis must be made on contributors expertise, position. Nick Pope was the lowest civil service grade manager in the UK Ministry of Defence. For 2-3 years he ran the so called UFO Desk with a junior clerk. The role entailing the receipt of letters etc from members of the public in the UK, who had reported unidentified sightings in British skies. The Desk did basic investigations & any unexplained sightings would likely be referred upwards.

Mr. Pope is/was portrayed in various UFO documentaries such as Ancient Aliens, et al, that he is either a former Director in the (UK) Ministry of Defence (MoD), Defence Expert, Analyst etc. Most of what Mr. Pope comments on is or was already 'open source' and known by other UFO researchers, or interested members of the public. The fact that he worked for the MoD allowed Mr Pope authenticity to realise the subject can be exploited and a second career as a UFO pundit could be created especially in the U.S.A.

The UFO Desk was subsequently closed as resources were required else where.
