Nick Pope has been called “the real Fox Mulder.” He worked as a high-level official for the U.K.’s defense ministry for 21 years, retiring in 2006, and he ran the ministry’s unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) project in the ‘90s.

He shared some of his knowledge on the subject at a disclosure hearing in Brantford, Canada, on June 25. The hearing included testimony by experts, such as Pope, on the subject of government UAP intelligence (UAP has replaced UFO, or unidentified flying object, as the preferred terminology; it was used by the ministry to “avoid the pop-culture baggage that comes with the term ‘UFO,’” Pope said).
