The government failed to properly investigate unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the Nineties over fears they were caused by ‘demonic forces’, the UK’s leading expert has claimed.
Nick Pope, who led the Ministry of Defense’s UFO desk between 1991 and 1994, has said the then chief of defense staff Lord Hill-Norton stopped investigating sightings after being influenced by a controversial priest.
There are also similar beliefs in the US government, he added, with politicians and officials frequently deferring to the Bible when the issue of UFOs, now officially known as UAP, arises.
‘It’s counter-intuitive that some official resistance to taking UAP seriously comes not from hard-nosed science-minded sceptics who think studying the subject is a waste of government time and money, but from a faction that believes UAP are real – but demonic,’ said Mr. Pope, speaking to Metro.co.uk.
‘This stems in part from a biblical description of Satan as being “the prince of the power of the air” – a quotation from the book of Ephesians.’
The notion that flying objects in the sky may have a religious origin is a longstanding theory among UFO enthusiasts – one explored in a new documentary, God Vs UFOs – but not one that has been openly acknowledged at government level.
However, the secretly held belief that UFOs are neither classified military operations, hostile nations nor even visitors from another planet, but demonic forces, is stifling adequate research into the issue, said Mr. Pope.
‘The thinking seems to be that if UFOs are some sort of demonic manifestation, engaging with it feeds them, by giving them energy, and should therefore be avoided,’ he said. Read more [here]
