Subject: Nick Pope Resigns From MOD
As many people are aware, I recently resigned from the Ministry
of Defence. The media coverage of this has been extensive, but
not entirely accurate. I thought I would explain the situation.
I made the decision to leave early this year, but for a number
reasons did not formally submit my resignation until early
September. My last day in government service was 31 October.
I've greatly enjoyed my 21 years in the MOD - and in particular
my time running the UFO project - but left in order to devote
more time to my various business interests.
In view of the media interest in my career, I issued a short
press release, simply stating that I'd resigned. The Press
Association saw this, interviewed me and ran a story which was
then picked up by most of the UK's national newspapers. I was
subsequently interviewed on numerous TV and radio shows.
I haven't resigned because of my belief in an imminent alien
invasion, as has been reported in certain media outlets. That
said, I remain convinced that the UFO phenomenon raises
important defence and national security issues, and believe
sightings should be investigated in a proper scientific way.
Best wishes,
Nick Pope

What kind of spin are you putting on this now?
My understanding is that the program he was running was canceled and that he deemed this dangerous to the greater good as there was not to be an official agency monitoring the skies for potential invaders.
How does this post you made claim differently?
I haven't resigned because of my belief in an imminent alien
A super-secret NASA moon base -- code-named Project Prometheus -- was recently assaulted and captured by aliens, according to a high-ranking NASA official who spoke only on condition of anonymity.
NASA's little known Alien Threat Response Team, based at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, is holding around-the-clock meetings to craft a counterattack, along with a defense plan, should the aliens decide to launch further attacks against Earth itself.
NASA officials vehemently deny the story, but the agency has been abuzz with the activities on the moon. "This situation is very troubling and has given the agency a huge black eye, though no one here will ever admit it," says one high-level source in the interplanetary affairs division. "Whether or not this has happened before, I can't comment. But what I do know is that once news of this becomes public, NASA's future is in serious trouble." ...

I wonder if Mr. Pope was actually saying something to confirm this and then got told to retract it? It seems odd he quit the MOD only to say something and then say it was reported wrong. ???
Also, now Rummy is out and he was Secretary of Defense. Is the situation with the ets getting out of hand, hence, his removal?? I believe this is more the reason than what has happened in Iraq.
