Under the heading "UFO Hunter at MOD 'kidnapped by aliens'" the article goes into detail about his Florida tollbooth abduction and quotes Jenny Randles as saying that "Clearly, the truth really is out there!". Pope won't be drawn and claims that he won't say anything because his partner at the time is a former girlfriend. The article states; "His latest revelation will come as a further surprise for the ministry, where officials were amazed when he announced that his time collating their "X Files" had convinced him that Earth was being visited by aliens." Air Staff 2a material is hardly the "X Files" but no matter.......... To print an article on p.3 of the "Sunday Times" - above a story on Oprah Winfrey - is quite remarkable and it looks like the cat is out of the bag. This week Pope saw fit to complain about UFO groups asking for research fees when making TV documentaries - this from a man who has made tens of thousands through his very limited role at Air Staff 2a within the MOD from 1991-1994. The 'Sunday Times' article also confirms that Pope is now a Higher Executive Officer - still a junior rank and with no access to any 'Most Secret' information. It looks like people are getting wise to his game; this week respected UK researcher Nick Redfern took Pope up on certain details of his knowledge about other departments who become involved in official research into "UFOs". Our Jenny says; "What surprised me more though, is why he has never admitted to it before and why he chose to describe the incident as happening to somebody else." Comments?
