Alien signal 'could contain terrible truth' as fears rise over 'imminent' announcement

Ever since the bombshell exposé about the US Government’s research program in 2017, the subject of extraterrestrial visitors has moved steadily from the conspiracy into the mainstream.

In recent years we have seen military experts testify under oath to the US Congress that the Pentagon conducted a “multi-decade” program which collected, and attempted to reverse-engineer, .

But still, the official government “disclosure” of contact with aliens – whether it’s in the form of landings from interstellar craft or the recently-reported “non-human technological signature” allegedly detected by an Australian radio telescope – seems as far away as ever.

And has deeply worrying theory on why that might be. , once responsible for the Ministry of Defence's analysis of UFO reports, offered his disturbing explanation to Simon Holland in a leaked email.

Simon made headlines around the world earlier this month when has been found by an Oxford-backed satellite programme. He even claimed it could be announced to coincide with the US election on November 5.

But in the email – which surfaced on Reddit and has been confirmed to the as being genuine – Nick suggests that any potential message detected by the extraterrestrial research group should be very carefully analysed before being released to the public “in case it contains a truth too terrible to be told”.

Speculating on why disclosure has been so long-delayed, with Nick writing: “I don’t believe that the US presidential election, or the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East or have a bearing on the timescale. One factor that might have a bearing on timing relates to a scenario where the assessment is that we’re looking at not just a signal, but a message.

“It would be prudent to have a go at decoding the message before making an announcement – in case it contains a truth too terrible to be told.”

Some of these potential truths he exclusively told the Mirror, include the possibility that humanity is simply “a science experiment” for some advanced civilisation, or that “aliens are demonic”.

Professor Simon Holland described Nick Pope’s speculation as “deeply disturbing,” and several commentators have put forward the idea that mankind, as a whole, might suffer some sort of collective breakdown as a result of the “ontological shock” of encountering a truly alien civilisation.

Pope has previously commented that humanity, as a whole, might not be psychologically ready to cope with confirmation that non-human intelligence is real. He claimed: "I believed people were ready for Disclosure. The response to Covid made me rethink this. I overestimated societal resilience, and underestimated the panic generated by something unfamiliar and threatening.”

Another theory that he has floated in the past is that our reality is little more than an advanced video-game being played by beings so far advanced from us that they may as well be gods.

“Often in cosmology, there seems to be a disconnect between theory and observation,” he said. “In religious terms, it would be as if several different gods all had a hand in creating the universe, and all had their different styles.”
