'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.

Serves you right for drinking with folks you don't know.

Do like I do and keep a martini by the bedside in case of abduction.

US diplomats ignored far more than just UFOs, and their failure will be more catastrophic than can be imagined.

And the comments are mostly in support of the witch hunt.

There is no Intelligence Collection Requirement (ICR) for UFOs. There is no Intelligence Production Requirement (IPR) for the same. Go ahead, do your FOIA thing and prove me wrong. I used to do this for a living.

Production of strategic intelligence must come from a national strategy document.

So tell me, how is this an intelligence failure?

Take the latest Iphone or off the shelf camera outside and try to film something that is a few hundred yards away even in the light of day see what the quality is....

How many people are equipped the kind of lenses that can clearly zoom in on distant objects...

It will be blurry to a degree, plus most people don’t have rock steady hands causing the camera to shake however slightly which causes some of the blurring....

Not saying skepticism isn’t warranted, just some things are easily explained and this is one of them....

If these “UFO’s” zooming around our Aegis Combat System ships are Chinese, that’s a big intel failure.

The predictive programming here in preparation for what is the probable deception to be revealed.

There seems to be a media wide narrative developing regarding this UFO topic. It will be interesting to see the reports that are claimed to be revealed this summer and more importantly the propaganda that will result from it.

Whatever it will be, I predict two things.
...the report will be used to create fear in the sheep
...there will be a new kind of “control” imposed upon the sheep as a result. Maybe something like a new patriot act. Who knows.

Reminds me of C.S Lewis’s comment: “...a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies...”

Going to be interesting

Watching...newspaper in one hand, Bible in the other to keep track of what both sides are doing.

The Chinese can’t even make a decent jet engine for their fighters.

"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?"

Right. It doesn't make any sense unless they are home right here. Normally invisible, able to defy our laws of physics and gravity... Maybe they're angels, demons or some sort of spirit.

I always wondered what the “Great Deception” could be if even the Elect would be tempted to fall for it.

I agree.

So are you saying these UFO's are not from around here?

“Normally invisible, able to defy our laws of physics and gravity... Maybe they’re angels, demons or some sort of spirit.”

I think some of the ones that look like balls of light are living beings. Birds of space if you will.

I think the solid appearing ones are probes. I don’t think aliens come here, they don’t need to. They are watching and perhaps even controlling us or guiding us from afar.

They didn’t ignore it, they buried it.

I have a minority opinion that they are demonic manifestations to keep people from repenting as the Age of the Gentiles draws to a close. I actually believe the Bible and will not accept any notion of alien life coming to earth. It is a lie. God has already told humanity everything we need to know about the situation we are in.

But I was speaking on the issue of calling it an intelligence failure. It isn’t a failure if the intelligence cycle was not directed towards the target issue. That is intelligence 101.

But they are in contact. There have been thousands, perhaps millions of people who have gone to psychiatrists and other counselors with beliefs that they have been abducted (and many more who have kept it to themselves). And BTW most of the people wish their psychiatrists would tell them that they are crazy or have some sort of mental condition.

And they all tell remarkably similar stories.
