“the subject cannot properly be ignored by responsible civilian authorities.”

but it has been, for over 70 years. Now Pope has sold out to the Elizondo group who have been engineering the coverup 24/7. He won’t point fingers at “Lou,” just at faceless nameless politicians. It’s sad to watch well meaning researchers sell out like this.

I think the UFO subject was ignored by civilian authorities for decades because the US and other countries could neither defend against UFOs nor explain them as benign. Now, with the rudiments of UFO tech beginning to be reverse engineered, a defense can be contrived.

Meanwhile, the US and other governments are gradually easing the coverup and starting a slow, controlled reveal. I think Nick Pope and Lou Elizondo are parts of it, as are Harry Reid, Bob Bigelow, and the official UAP task force.

The government is acting now due to widening public acceptance of UFOs and aliens as real. And with civilian access to space rapidly increasing and hyperspectral surveillance cameras becoming cheap and widely available, compelling accounts and sophisticated images of UFOs will soon proliferate out of control.

Even after official acknowledgement, the UFO phenomena though will not be fully explained. There is far too much that defies the limits of little gray men from space. As Jacques Vallee points out, there is an element of deception about UFOs and frequent and perplexing spiritual and temporal dimensions to UFO encounters. Somewhere, Art Bell must be smiling.
