@nickpopemod God bless you and may your next journey to the stars be as interesting as your first. Godspeed

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!

@NASCARONFOX you suck! Where's my race?

@DanielleTrotta will you be at Mecum in Kissimmee?

@MarioNawfal Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: NASCAR DRIVER GREG BIFFLE AND FAMILY DEAD IN JET CRASH This morning, Greg Biffle's private jet went down in North Carolina. No one survived. He was with his wife Cristina and their 2 kids, Emma and Ryder. Greg Biffle didn’t just race cars. He once flew into hurricane zones by himself to drop off baby formula and medicine. The loss of Greg, Cristina, Emma, and Ryder is heartbreaking. The crash happened near Statesville, according to a close friend who confirmed the news. Source: @nicksortor

@UAPodcast850 Almost like family.

Office Christmas party. My co workers got me a new friend lol.

@Jordan_Bianchi @jeff_gluck Listening to your coverage was like being there. I appreciate all you have done to bring a clear picture of the courtroom proceedings back to the fans waiting at home.

It has been a privilege to cover this historic event alongside @jeff_gluck, a fantastic teammate and even better person. And a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been so incredibly complimentary about The Teardown. I'm truly grateful for all the kind words and support.

@LarryMac28 @NASCARONFOX @DAYTONA I am not usually a fine of court drama but this is fascinating. I believe @NASCAR has made a huge mistake allowing this to go to trial. Somewhere behind closed doors someone should have spoke up and said "maybe we should really twice about this" not a good look.

Good Morning! It’s Thursday/Dec. 4th which means Christmas is (3) weeks from today, which also means…………..It’s ONLY “73” Days Until The 2026 Daytona 500 on @NASCARONFOX @DAYTONA #NASCAR

@DadroitGroup our subscription renewed yesterday but my account shows I need to upgrade to a standard license to open a larger than 50 mb file PublicSoft is our company, Bobby Dow owner

@nascar after the race yesterday @LVMotorSpeedway why would you change this #playoff format? Every week has been exciting to the last lap. Leave what is working alone.

@ATT I have an S25+ on att and all the apps on the three homepages I had have a scrambled and now I have 6 pages with all my apps out of order. I no longer have my regular "all apps" page, what happened?

@SamsungMobileUS I have an S25+ and all the apps on the three homepages I had have a scrambled and now I have 6 pages with all my apps out of order. I no longer have my regular "all apps" page, what happened?

@Android I have an S25+ and all the apps on the three homepages I had have a scrambled and now I have 6 pages with all my apps. I no longer have an "all apps" page, what happened

Question to @ATT and @SamsungMobileUS customers, did anyone lose all the apps on their home screen and there are no apps on the "all apps" page. This happened today. All the apps are there but moved forward to my home pages.

@kgeontv can you forecast the Daytona Saturday evening race, it doesn't look good for a 7:30pm start

@SpotterBrett @DAYTONA Logano

Which driver would you NEVER push to a win this weekend @DAYTONA? I’m curious.

@Uber I have a blind friend that uses uber daily, he is having trouble with the app and needs help navigating, is there a way to speak with a human #help

@UAPodcast850 Sweet set up

A look inside “UAP Studios” Organized chaos lol

@elon58853 A. Yes

@UAPodcast850 @nickpopemod @VettedPodcast Who looks most like Florida man in this pic????

What a happy accident running into these two! @nickpopemod @VettedPodcast

@UAPodcast850 When you get to that point of panic, that's the time to close your eyes, bow your head and pray for wisdom and peace, both will come and the project will be an overwhelming success

I hope this doesn’t make me look weak, but wanted to share a very real behind the scenes look at what goes through my mind while creating something new. A candid moment here. Now back to work…
