'CATASTROPHIC FAILURE' British ex-defense official says ‘must be a reckoning’ for US bureaucrats who ignored evidence of UFOs

BUREAUCRATS in the US who have ignored evidence of UFOs must face a “reckoning”, a former British defense official has said.

Former UK Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson a soon to be published report must give clear explanations for encounters.

His comments come and ex-Pentagon investigator Luis Elizondo said the failure to identify the UFOs flying over the US could the country’s biggest intelligence failure since 9/11.

Pope said the report, from the Pentagon, and U.S intelligence agencies could highlight "a potential catastrophic failure of intelligence".

"If it happened because skeptical bureaucrats were just saying to themselves, 'It can't be, therefore it isn't,' then there must be a reckoning," Pope told Carlson on Friday.

Pope worked as a civil servant for more than two decades and investigated reported UFO sightings for part of that time.

"Every day, it seems like new information drops, things that the public and the media weren't told," he said.

For example he pointed to information the former Trump administration Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe “just threw into the conversation the other day”.

He said “satellite imagery of all of this and some of the speeds being reported seem to blow the theory about foreign drones out of the water”.

Pope said there is now a large amount of data from pilots, radar operators, satellite data, measurement and signature intelligence," he said.

"There's such a lot of information now, so much that the U.S. Navy has instructions for its pilots on what to do if they encounter these things.

Typical British official stupidity.

British Officialdom has a sad history of having their head in the clouds where they have visions of things like illusory UFO’s while down on earth they are getting bombarded by real ordinance from a real enemy.

What would this ‘reckoning’ be?

UFOs only fly over America?

What can anyone do about UFO’s?

Maybe the British should try to shoot them down.

I don't think we have a lot to fear from them. I hate the word "abduction" because I voluntarily met with them a few years back. It was a bit awkward at first but due to my jovial nature, we quickly found some common ground for dialague.

They explored the Kindle that I had with me at the time and they were fascinated with our "obsession" (their word) for reading fiction. These folks are all about logic and reality. Sort of like that Dr. Spock character (which ironically is a a fictional character for us).

With all our rich history to draw upon and our current technological achievements, they were amazed that we would still consume much of our time not only reading fiction but watching it in form of movies, TV shows and whatnot.

By and large however, we hit it off well. And they make an awesome cocktail - I wish I had asked for that recipe before de-boarding but we probably don't have the ingredients here on Earth anyhow.

Maybe former UK Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope should get Christopher Steele on the job.

“failure to identify the UFOs flying over the US could the country’s biggest intelligence failure since 9/11.”

Baloney. The biggest intel failure was failing to recognize that totalitarian state Marxists were taking over every last nook and cranny of our government including our own intel agencies. This is a horrific revelation because if this country goes down, so does the rest of the world.

Already we have the FBI acting like the German SA and people seem perfectly fine with this. Look at the Facebook page of the FBI: You want to get scared, they are clearly busting people solely for opposing Marxism. Every wanted post they put up is for anyone who was even near the Capital Jan. 6th, even the disabled and elderly. Where are all the wanted posts for Antifa and BLM?...........

Nothing like blurry imagery to validate aliens from another planet! Idiots!

So some alien civilization zips through space for some ungodly amount of time and distance only to come here to look up some cow’s behind, scare a bunch of Navy pilots and then zip on home?

Ridiculous.

Even if all this were true, what the heck is the Air Force supposed to do about it?

Nick Pope is a hack.

The only problem with their excellent cocktail is that one of its ingredients is sourced to those anal probes.

Therefore, when I have cocktails with them, I bring my own martini shaker and olives.

And these instructions are...? Take a picture and upload it to nextdoor.com/Earth? Why not tell your readers?

I would also suggest a large network of barrage balloons.

Well, if these things belong to our earthly adversaries, the military might want to figure out how to defend against them. Or at least identify their owners.

Good point. We are in a world where most of the population is carrying high definition video cameras with them all day.

How come the UFO videos are always distant and blurry?
