Nick Pope, the former head of the UK Ministry of Defence’s UFO project, has criticized the government for not taking the potential threat of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) seriously. He argues that the government’s decision to stop investigating UFO sightings is illogical, especially considering the US government’s recent increased interest in such phenomena. Pope suggests that the Ministry of Defence should restart its investigations into UFOs and be held accountable by the defence committee. The former UFO project was discontinued in 2009, with no replacement since. Prior to its closure, the project had investigated over 10,000 potential sightings, many of which were reported by military personnel. Recent data from UFO Identified reveals that Liverpool, London, and Glasgow have had a high number of reported UFO sightings since 2021.
