3.0 out of 5 stars "Could do better" - a lost opportunity, 13 Feb 2002
By A Customer
1. Is Nick really an ex-MoD researcher? (No reason to doubt, I'd just like proof)
2. There's no proof here, no statements by anyone worth quoting...its all so tempting but it could just be pure fiction!
3. There are some illogicalities in the text and some grey areas
4. Its worth reading but its not what it sells itself as - its not the British Governments X files. Its rambling and based on hearsay. Some good bits.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read!, 19 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I have to disagree with the reader from New York! I found this book fascinating from beginning to end. Nick Pope's writing is fluid and very easy to become immersed in, although at times, it does become just a little disjointed. In this book Pope gives an insight into his three year posting in what has to be one of the strangest jobs in the UK, that of UFO Desk Officer at the MoD ("the real Fox Mulder" as he puts it) and takes a look at some of the cases he was involved in. This is done with the underlying question - do these unidentified objects and occurences prove a threat to the country's defence? This book is not as sensationalist as many other UFO titles and, in my opinion, benefits greatly from this. I would recommend this title, without hesitation, to anyone who has even a passing interest in the subject.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible writing, research, and editing., 24 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Open Skies, Closed Minds (Hardcover)
Luckily I was given a copy of this book. I have read the top 100 books in this UFO/Alien genre and this is not one of them. Suggest you try 'Alien Rapture' by Brad Steiger (Project Blue Book), 'Alien Agenda' by Jim Marrs (Crossfire), and 'Unconventional Flying Objects' by Dr. Paul Hill (NASA UFO Scientist) which are the TOP 3 books in this genre with more information in any chapter than Nick Pope's book. The conspiracy thriller, 'Alien Rapture' with an 'insider' black projects co-author is my favorite of the Top 100. I find it hard to believe this rambling, poorly edited, and disjointed book of Popes is a best-seller in the UK.
