Over 70 years after the start of the modern UFO mystery, might we finally be close to getting some answers? Ahead of a report on the phenomenon due to be sent from the Director of National Intelligence to Congress, former UK Ministry of Defense employee Nick Pope uses his government background to offer an insider's perspective, as he gives his Estimate of the Situation.

Nick Pope ran the British Government’s UFO project. From 1991 to 1994 he researched and investigated UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles and other strange phenomena, leading the media to call him the real Fox Mulder. His government background and his level-headed views have made him the media, film and TV industry’s go-to guy when it comes to UFOs, the unexplained and conspiracy theories.
