My good friend Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet @GallaudetTim just released a book about leadership during challenging times, drawing on his own experience in the Navy and leading NOAA. I can't wait to read it Tim and congrats! amazon.com/Holding-Fast-H…

Declaratio Inconsummato. Inconsummate (or fragmented) Disclosure. Let's start asking what social outcomes might look like if big "D" UAP Disclosure doesn't happen. No smoking gun. No indisputable evidence. Just official acknowledgement. Part of my current research. More to come.

Next stop, Merced, CA for a 2-hour event on April 17. Come join us! I love this part of the state near Yosemite. There's so much strangeness (UFOs, cryptid reports, missing people) that we'll try and cover a bit of all of it! Tickets now on sale at @mercedtheatre

@DavidClarkActor @mercedtheatre @kelliejane71 We love Adelaide! Not sure if I'm giving a talk this year but may moderate a panel.

@BenHansen00 @mercedtheatre My wife @kelliejane71 and I are travelling all the way from Adelaide Australia for CITD. Looking forward to the Sky Watch with you, already booked in! Are you doing any talks?

Lining up a good mix of live events this year. It's an honor to be returning to ParaPsyCon in Ohio and Contact in the Desert in May and Roswell UFO Fest/July. But starting it off in Central California at the Merced Theatre April 17th! @mercedtheatre benhansen.com/upcoming-event…

It was a pleasure to sit down with Ashleigh Banfield @TVAshleigh for a long chat. We discuss the unfortunate disappearance of Maj. Gen. McCasland, but also spent a while retelling my grandfather's story on her podcast @DropDeadSrs_POD Thnx Ashleigh! youtube.com/watch?v=4QyFzj…

Excited to join @SharlaMcBride and @BillSpadea Saturday 8:40AM EST @NEWSMAX to discuss UAP/UFO Disclosure. What's everyone's take on the back and forth between Trump and Obama? Are they sharing their own personal opinion or is it based on classified info we soon may learn?

Break out the popcorn. This is going to be interesting no matter what happens...

@nickpopemod Nick! Life has thrown you a hard curve ball. I can't imagine the challenge that has been. You're in my family's prayers. I've enjoyed so many of our late night hotel lobby sessions, as we've tried to solve this puzzle. Thank you my friend!

A Message From Nick Pope: A while ago, following some digestive issues, I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Unfortunately, it's Stage 4 and has metastasized to my liver. While I know that it's kindness and hope that leads people to suggest healers and supposed miracle cures, and to say things like "fight it", and "you can beat it", I'm afraid my diagnosis and my situation leaves no doubt whatsoever: I can't beat it. What an amazing adventure I've had! A 21-year career at the UK Ministry of Defence, where I got involved in subjects ranging from financial policy to counter-terrorism; from military policing to UAP. And I saved six cows; it's a long story! The things I've done; the places I've been; the people I've met; and the secrets I've been privy to. I wouldn't have swapped it for the world. And then a second career, where my previous government UAP role brought me to the attention of the world's media, leading me to become a regular commentator on TV news shows and documentaries, as well as consulting and acting as spokesperson on various UFO and alien-themed movies, TV series and video games. The media called me the real Fox Mulder! The true highlight, of course, is life with my wonderful, beautiful and incredibly smart wife, Elizabeth. She's a real-life Agent Scully: a scientist, a skeptic and a redhead. We met randomly in the lobby bar of the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San José (she was an anthropology professor at San José State University) in October 2010 and got married 3 months later. We applied successfully for my Green Card and she had me shipped over and imported to the U.S., where a new adventure began, as Elizabeth and I enjoyed wildlife watching at our wonderful home in Tucson, desert hikes, film noir, true crime, country music, Sunday lunches with my in-laws, and much more besides. Recently, we had an amazing one-year adventure in New York City, living 5 minutes from Times Square, and having a wonderful view of the Empire State Building from our apartment window. We proofread each other's books and articles (I love commas, hyphens and exclamation points way more than Elizabeth, and managed to win at least a few of those battles), and I'm  supporting her in her ongoing fight for free speech, academic freedom, and keeping political correctness, superstition and identity politics out of science and academia. The White House Press Secretary Tweeted one of her recent newspaper articles, which shows the huge impact she's having. I kept working for as long as I could (right up until last week), with my various film/TV interviews, conference appearances, and live events, including my position as moderator of Ancient Aliens Live - where I think I did 94 shows. Sadly, the time has come where I've had to step away from this work. A lot of people have followed my work on UAP. I'm loath to use the word "fans", because I'm not a celebrity. But I am a public figure, and many people have followed me on my journey as I've sought to keep the UAP subject in the public eye, and to frame it as a defense, national security and safety of flight issue - as well as a fascinating science problem. Some of this work has been public knowledge, but some such work, of necessity, has been done behind the scenes. I hope I've helped move the needle forward. But most people, of course, know me through my media interviews and live events. To everyone who's followed me on my journey, thank you - and good luck with your own journeys. I wish you every success and happiness. It's all been amazing, and I'm grateful for the things I've done, not mournful for the things that I won't now get to do. Per Aspera Ad Astra! Nick Pope, Tucson, Arizona, February 12, 2026

Excited to be joining this year's SQuatch Fest in Longview, WA on Jan. 30th and 31st! For the first time ever, they're combining it with a new conference called Galactic Fest, so we'll be addressing and celebrating both intriguing phenomena. Join us! kelsolongviewchamber.org/squatchfest/

Here's a snippet of what you'll see tonight. Join us! youtu.be/CGAe2m3r6Qg?si…

I'm excited to join the @NewsNation team with @rosscoulthart on Reality Check tonight for our hour long special on USOs. Above and below the water, we explore theories about what is actually taking place. Tune in tonight at 8PM ET/ 5PM PT on NewsNation!

Life is fragile. Life is short. Tell your family and friends often how much you love and appreciate them. I just spoke with Dr. Jeff Meldrum 2 weeks ago ... and now he's gone. My prayers and love to his family as he'll be greatly missed until they meet again.

More adventures exploring the air and sea ... mysteries of the USO kind, coming soon!

I learned with profound loss that my EP of Fact or Faked, @johnbrenkus_ lost his battle with depression. A beautiful family and amazing man. He taught me so much about TV hosting & gave me my start. We love you Brenkus family! We'll see you again John. abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/sp…

Extremely disappointed in @Meta My FB Business Profile account was hacked nearly 2 months ago and they have done nothing to help me recover it. Now the hackers have taken control of my FB fan page to use it for spam. @meta, if you care about your biz customers, please contact me

Thanks Patrick @VettedPodcast ! I always say this, but it's going to be a big year in UAP news. Exciting times and great to chat with you! youtube.com/watch?v=ViohPn…

Adding some events to first half of year. Starting in May: Parapsycon in Ohio, Contact in the Desert in California, and the SCU Conference in Alabama in June. Lots to talk about this year! benhansen.com
