Nick Pope is a well-known figure in the field of UFO research. In a recent interview, Pope expressed concern that first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization could cause fear and global chaos.
He suggested that world governments, which once considered extraterrestrial life a fringe belief, may now be on the verge of discovering the truth about whether we are alone in the universe.
Nick Pope worked for 21 years in the British Ministry of Defense (MoD). From 1991 to 1994, he was the head of the UFO Research Project at the US Department of Defense. He says that during his time at the Ministry of Defense he came across several credible UFO cases.
In an interview with the British independent newspaper The Sun, published on March 30, 2022, Pope explained that humanity’s contact with an extraterrestrial civilization would be “the most amazing, paradigm-shattering moment in human history.”
At the same time, he says that the first interaction will cause fear and panic, which will force the nations of the world to unite.
He warned: “Just as the world is responding to the pandemic, first contact could lead to global chaos. If this is a reaction to something relatively well-known as a pandemic, then what would the reaction be to something really new and unusual?”
According to him, contact with aliens would be a catastrophic shock for some people, as they would not be able to cope with a different reality. He thinks contact with extraterrestrials would be the biggest shock to all religions.
Pope also talks about other consequences of contact with aliens.
The expert said that “the first official contact will lead to wars between countries over the acquisition of alien technology. He believes that first contact with Earth would be a great danger, but also a great opportunity for humanity to expand its knowledge of the universe.
Also, fighting an alien invasion wouldn’t be a good idea since Pope believes humans have primitive technology.
Pope told The Sun: “It’s like an iceberg where a small part is visible but a lot of what goes on is done behind closed doors, highly classified and deeply isolated.”
According to the expert, one of the following scenarios is already in place:
We are being visited by aliens, but no one in the government knows.
We are being visited by aliens, but the government knows and is hiding it.
We are not being visited by aliens, but the government is promoting the idea that we are being visited by aliens.
He suggested that the surge in UFO discussion activity around the world looked like someone was up to something. It suggests that “big governments can’t keep secrets anymore” and it’s time for the big reveal to begin.
