Breaking News from Colin Andrews; ----- Colin Andrews January 22, 2009
Crop Circles and UFOs - Head of State asked for statement today.
To inform you, especially those living in the United Kingdom, that a major article is being published by The Sun Newspaper tomorrow January 23, 2009.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (head of state) and the Duke of Edinburgh are today being asked for a statement regarding my latest report:
In the last 24 hours I have been instructed to remove one of the many documents posted on my site in that article. I stand by the complete contents of my allegation that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the Queen and the public were lied to regarding Crop Circles and UFOs. I also stand by my commitment to lobby for a new period of openness and honesty regarding such topics as the UFO and crop circles.
No government has the right to control the growth of human consciousness. My article was written and support documents have been released for the first time to support this new era and to see to it that the peoples business really does bring in the tide of change that we all deserve.
The Sun Newspaper will syndicate worldwide and also have copy of part of this article tomorrow on their website:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/
Check into the website from time to time for the next stage of releases from the 'private sector'.
The aim of myself and many others is that some day real soon it will be the turn of the United States Government to release what they know on both subjects.
Colin Andrews and I have discussed this over the past few days, as his article implies I was involved in a cover-up.
Some of the issues Colin highlights have arisen because the line between official and private interest (even within government, the military and the intelligence agencies) can be blurred.
There are particular sensitivities and political difficulties when members of the Royal Family are involved.
I agree that the MoD has downplayed its interest and involvement in the crop circle issue, as it has with the UFO phenomenon. This has been the policy for many years and it's no secret that I had to play my part in this when I worked for the government.
Here's an article I wrote, setting out the official position:

From: Colin Andrews to Nick Pope January 23, 2009
Thank you for the copy to Dave Haith, Nick.
I have not seen the article as printed in the newspaper, compared to what they have on their website. Is it the same?
If so I thought it was very tame. Hardly worth three difficult days in helping them prepare it. As we both know, there is nothing new in this.
Nick, I think I will back off now on this matter, other than post e-mails/letters in other words feedback on my 'Letters' page. Would you object to me posting your reply to Dave, assuming he does not object also? Or would you like to make a response to me directly about this matter and then we can move on?
I do hold respect for you and your position, and as friends and some mutual colleagues will vow, when I first met you, I knew you were going to be a key person in the transition between that past and future ways of dealing with the UFO subject. I hold your courage in high regard. Having also spent many years inside the politics of local government, I observe your natural professional ability to work with the many interests. I just wanted you to know where I am coming from. You have and are taking on a pivotal position on the UFO matter. I do get the impression at times Nick that your previous bosses are somewhere in your wings? I cant think they are too far away.
This article did bring a very interesting e-mail to me yesterday from a well known person who tells me ...XXXXXXXXXX Removed CONFIDENTIAL XXXXXXX. U.S. president. Now there is another story!
If you are willing to put a small response together, what ever you want to say, I will post and call that job done.
Oh, what do you think of the newspaper article, assuming its different to the website?
Have a good weekend. Colin
............................................ Nick Popes reply 24 January 2009:
Colin,
The article in the newspaper was, as I recall, identical to the online version. Space is always tight in The Sun, so stories are often edited down to brief summaries. But it gets the story out. The Press Association picked up the story and as a result it appeared in countless other media outlets (search for your name in Google News):
I have no objection to your passing my reply to Dave (or anyone else). I may put together a more substantive response and if I do, I'll forward it to you, with permission to pass it on/post it as you wish.
I do what I can to keep the UFO issue in the public eye, e.g. another story in The Sun today:
