Nick Pope,Under top secret Government directive RAF pilots
have tried to BLAST UFOs,
26th January,2009
Nick Pope who came under criticism this week, when Colin Andrews
criticized him for prepared distorted reports about UFOs & Crop circle
when he was working as Ministry of Defence’s UFO desk for three
years. Later this week Nick Pope even confess about same and told
media that:
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.
But now he revealed the rules of engagement for the first time.He
claimed RAF pilots had fired at UFOs on several occasions but failed to
bring them down.
Mr Pope, said shoot down orders had been issued under the highly-
classified directive since the beginning of the 1980s.He believes a
pattern has emerged in incidents already publicised in this country and
abroad.When a UFO is thought to be threatening a country’s airspace,
the drastic action has been taken.
He said: There was a faction in the MoD who said ‘We want to shoot
down a UFO and that will resolve the issue one way or another.He
claimed credible UFO witness statements had come from dozens of
near-misses with planes, police helicopters and RAF jets in recent
years.
He said We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot
down with little effect to the UFO?Mr Pope said the rules of engagement
were drawn up after dozens of close encounters with suspect craft in
British airspace.
RAF attacks on UFOs were not automatic but happen when something
in our airspace is deemed to be a threat.In the case of UFOs, whether
the object is causing a threat is very much a (pilot’s) judgment call.
Earlier this month UFO Blogger told how a UFO was believed to have
torn off a 65ft blade as it hit a wind turbine in Conisholme, Lincs.
Back in December,2008 a donuts-shaped UFO was caught on camera
near Conisholme wind farm a few weeks also before the wind turbine
was damaged.
Where in Wind turbine ufo case Locals saw strange lights streaking
towards the 290ft-tall power generator.Even Dale Vince, founder of
Ecotrcity has a quite a bit to say about what his company thinks
happened to its wind turbine.He indicates that what happened was a
'unique and isolated event".
But any alien battles with the RAF will be kept secret, according to Mr
Pope, who worked as a civil servant at the MoD for 21 years.
He said: The public won’t know unless it comes down in a heavily-
populated area.
He added: I do believe we will bring one down. We’re developing
increasingly sophisticated weapons.Mr Pope also rubbished the MoD’s
stance that UFOs pose no danger to the public, saying: I think that’s a
line I wrote myself in the 1990s.But if they haven’t investigated, how do
they know it poses no threat?
They will try to play it down by talking about flying saucers and little
green men. But there are MPs and ministers and a faction of the MoD
who do believe in UFOs. Now he is supporting Colin Andrews claim.

RAF pilots have tried to blast UFOs out of the sky under a top-secret
British government directive, it was claimed Sunday night.
Nick Pope -- who worked on the Ministry of Defense's UFO desk for
three years -- revealed the rules of engagement for the first time.
He claimed RAF pilots had fired at UFOs on several occasions -- but
failed to bring them down.
He added: "We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot
down -- with little effect to the UFO."
Pope said the rules of engagement were drawn up after dozens of
close encounters with suspect craft in British airspace.
RAF attacks on UFOs were "not automatic but happen when something
in our airspace is deemed to be a threat."
======================
A former Top Gun said Sunday he was ordered to shoot down a
massive UFO over Norwich, England, 50 years ago.
RAF controllers told U.S. pilot Milton Torres to "lock on" and launch all
24 of his rockets over the city.
But as he came within seconds of firing at the alien intruder — "the size
of an aircraft carrier" on his radar — it vanished at 10,000 mph.
The amazing close encounter is revealed in secret Ministry of Defense
X-Files which are being declassified Monday.
Milton said, "It was some kind of alien snooping over England. I guess
we'll never know what it was."
The incident happened in 1957 when Milton was a 26-year-old U.S. Air
Force lieutenant based at RAF Manston in Kent, England.
