Why didn't more "Regular Joes or Janes" pay lingering attention to a Pentagon intelligence analyst, ten days before Xmas, halfway revealing suggestive evidence of alien intelligences visiting Earth?
Has the UFO subject been both so overhyped and so ridiculed that Jane Q Public tuned out a long time ago?
Let's ask a sober head, a Brit, a calm, sensible type--Nick Pope, who ran UFO investigations for Britain in the 1990s. Just to hear his cautious, proper, cerebral comments lowers the blood pressure all by itself, but he's not yawning.
"These revelations starting on Dec 16 have been absolutely extraordinary. . . For far too long, this is a subject that has been either ignored or ridiculed by the mainstream media. After many years of US government denial that there was an official interest in the subject of UFOs [they've opened up.] . . .
"In terms of verifiable claims, it doesn't get much better than this. . . . Military was chasing the [objects] . . . The job that I did in the UK back in the 90s was virtually identical to [Luis Elizondo's role]. Most of British media called me to get my perspective on [these extraordinary December revelations]. . . It's a big story, but it's a complex one. Go back to the sources--what Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean have written. Back to Luis Elizondo and the F-18 pilots. [Avoid jumping to conclusions.] Harry Reid was instrumental in setting this up. . . . [Further it was treated almost as a throwaway reference] that there are materials from some of these sightings that have been studied . . . recovered materials that have been analyzed. It is not hard to determine whether a material has even been in space. Such tests will have been done. Results are out there sitting somewhere. [Debunkers say] of course the gov doesn't have anything like this. According to the NY Times, maybe they do.
"It has been a watershed moment, this stratospherically impactful story." Nick Pope interviewed on Youtube program Portal to Ascension, Jan 2, 2018. He goes on. "This is not the sort of story the Times usually runs, so, I'm now a journalist [and I have] written for the NY Times. Their fact-checking is triple-checking, almost brutal. The Pentagon is incensed by this story and was caught on the back foot. . . . The Pentagon reluctantly conceded the program existed and was a UFO project. . . . I heard report of the Secretary being pulled out of a meeting in the week before Xmas, Sir they've got this. What do we do? . . . I understand that [these revelations] have been causing huge ruckus inside US government . . . . Why didn't I know we really do this when we always say we don't? Why wasn't I told?" Why did we lie? Rand Paul is said to have sent a "we didn't talk about this" tweet to Reid. "Despite this being compartmentalized and carefully hidden, a lot of smart people will have been looking at this. [Yes, we're in] interesting times." Pope smiles and ends off.
Why did Americans stop being as sensible as Brits? They're just such grownups. I have to ask after listening to this well-informed, calm voice. It all sounds more calming when spoken in a British accent. Let's have an Englishman make the Big Disclosure To Mankind: Judi Dench and Sean Connery step together to the lectern behind Donald Trump and Theresa May. May says, "Mr. Trump is going to go first, and I'll have a bit to say after."
Trump: "We have a big announcement today, believe me. It's huuuuuuge. It's so huge we decided to have some calm you know kind of snobby British voices tell you what it is. They're TV and movie stars like me. But for once this is the kind of announcement that even a big ego like mine--well, we're gonna downplay it. This is too huge. Here they are, two of my favorite spies, Sean Connery and Judi Dench."
One speaks a sentence, then the other.
Connery: "We're slowing this down by taking turns. You will see. Please, Ms Dench."
He hands the microphone to her, she takes it with a courteous nod, clears her throat. "We are making a coordinated announcement authorized by Ms Prime Minister and Mr President and the heads of 182 other nations."
Connery: "It turns out, I must say in all candor, there are in fact some other folk--"he pauses.
Dench: "Folk, you see, not from here, not like us, although some turn out to be very much like us, but folk--let me say this deliberately FOLK NOT FROM EARTH."
Connery: "The point being our governments have lately proven quite carefully"--he stops to swallow--"good thing I'm an actor. This is a daunting line to deliver. Have proven these other folk to in fact exist."
Dench: "I'll call them NonEarthers. I find it the tidiest way of referring to them. Some of them may be joining in later press conferences, you see. Oh, you Will See."
Trump grabs the mike, waves it at Connery: "Damn Brits take so long to say any little thing. Hey, go ahead, tell them about the different groups." Trump steps back to again join May.
Connery nods like a good Navy captain: "Oddly, as the President implies, there is more than one bunch of these, shall I say, NonEarthers. Multiple races, you understand." (Gasps from the audience) Yes, yes, I know. Take a deep breath. There's more."
Connery: "Clearly some of the races are cooperative with humanity, while with others we have, as a politician might say it, yet to ascertain their intentions. But not to worry; our governments have it in hand."
Dench: "Quite right. Don't miss your afternoon tea over this, ladies and gentlemen. We will indeed sort it all out. More announcements coming soon."
Connery: "As you might suppose, we are in for a bit of a surprise here and there."
Dench: "Still, there's very much no need to rush out and dive headfirst into the Thames (pronounced "Tems") because we now know they have better ships than we have. Avoid that sort of thing. They should have better ships, since came to visit us, after all. We haven't knocked on their doors just yet."
Connery: "Personally, it's a bit of a blow to know that they're so far ahead of us in technology. I'd hope they have some wisdom to impart as well. That said, please bear in mind the Galaxy is such a big place I'm sure we will presently find plenty of elbow room in it for both humanity and our visitors."
Dench, smiling for the first time, no longer draped in sober spirit: "It's actually a rawwwthur glorious day, a day like this. We shall indeed, putting our heads together here on Earth, learn to be Galactic citizens, even if we have to muddle our way through a bit now and then. Now a word from the Prime Minister."
May steps up as they move aside, runs a hand across her hair: "It's a lot to take in. I know--we know it's a lot to take in. This is the day officials worldwide finally look you our public, our citizens, square in the eye and say, We are not alone. I will add that we haven't been for a while. There could be one thousand things to say at a time like this, but for a bit of perspective I'm putting up a slide from an American chap named Carl Sagan. Many of you will have heard of him--astronomer fellow, superb mind, very clever. He put this photo of Earth and added this comment, which I find touchingly appropos. 'The Home Planet of an emerging technical civilization, struggling to avoid self-destruction.'
"Even on the day we give this knowledge to the world, we assert that humanity's biggest threat is from itself, from nuclear weapons, from war, from worldwide pollution, from the things that divide us. There is some reason to believe these Other Races may be able to lend a hand with such problems, but it will take us all working together." She looks for a long time into the camera, reaches back and takes Trump's hand as he steps forward and the two of them wave at the crowd. "Thank you," they say in unison, "thank you."
