Got a Question you'd like to Ask Nick Pope?

On another board I frequent, they are having an open question opportunity where board members will be allowed to post questions or comments for Pope to answer.

So, for those of you who've been into the UFO thang for a while, fire away and I'll probably pick the most popular one among JREFers.

That, or I'll pick the one I want answered the most.

If I ask a question, promise me you'll tell him to quit calling my house pretending to be my sherpa (hehe I don't have one). So has anyone ever been prosecuted for ripping the tags off mattresses? And if so, why? That's two questions.

Wait, you mean Nick "Grand Poobah of Everything" Pope?

Well, in that state he probably won't remember you then.

They're only getting some predictable, softball questions. Oy! Kinda like when Fox News interviews a Republican?

I'm sure he would, I was the only 6'6 guy there with a red mohican


the question to ask him, probably this one as it requires a yes/no answer so doesn't have any wriggle room

"Have you ever seen any undeniable proof of the existence of extra terrestrials on this planet?"

what forum is this at anyway ?

yup, but he used a few more words which the UFO community wouldn't have been best pleased with, he was especially scathing about cereologists

Yes. "Why, Mr Pope, do you insist on calling yourself an expert on UFOs when your actual job was as a receptionist/filing clerk, albeit a specialised receptionist/filing clerk, who was never involved in any UFO investigation at all, and you were only called 'Spooky' Pope by the newspapers because you asked them to?. Probably."

Nick, when someone photographs a fly or the reflection of a lamp in a window, do you actually say "This is amongst the best evidence for UFOs I've seen so far" or did you just say it once and the media copy and paste it as required?
