The leading UFO expert Nick Pope reportedly claimed before his death that the government was deliberately keeping information about aliens hidden from the public. The expert examined about 1,000 reports of unexplained UFO sightings and investigated cases that had no immediate explanation. According to the Daily Star, the former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator, who was dubbed the 'real-life Fox Mulder' from The X-Files, said in his final interview,

"You know, the universe is nearly 14 billion years old. You’ve only got to imagine a civilisation with a million year, let alone a billion year headstart on us and all bets are off. So life out there, definitely."

Nick further revealed that he was not completely convinced that aliens had visited Earth, although he hoped they had. He said a world where alien life exists would be far more exciting and enjoyable than one without it, and he welcomed the possibility of their arrival.

Daily Star exclusively revealed striking information on aliens and government secrecy from Nick Pope's final interview. Nick said during the interview,

"They know there’s more to this than just weather balloons and aircraft lights."

The UFO expert further revealed that the universe was nearly 14 billion years old, and so he started believing that other civilizations could be far more advanced than humanity.

The expert explained that species with even a million-year head start on humans could possess abilities that were beyond people's understanding. That's why he was convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe. He said,

"So life out there, definitely."

Nick also warned that modern technology, especially artificial intelligence, could make it harder to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life. He explained that while technology was often expected to help investigators, it could work against them because AI made it increasingly difficult to tell whether images, videos, or other evidence are genuine.

During the interview, Nick asked some questions that might spark a conversation about the Pentagon's UFO tracking activities. He asked,

"If people have seen them, and UFOs or aliens have visited, why haven’t people taken notice? Why isn’t it on the News at 10? Are the news corporations keeping it from us? What is going on? I have no idea."

He added,

"It’s pretty naive of us to imagine that we’re the only planet capable of sustaining life in the entire universe. There’s gotta be something out there."

The UFO hunter further said that questions about whether humans were alone in the universe and whether Earth was being visited were among the most important issues humanity could explore. According to him, discovering a definite answer would permanently change the way people understand the world.


UFO files update: Does life exist beyond our planet Earth?

NASA revealed that around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe went through a brief period of extremely rapid expansion that occurred faster than the speed of light, a phase known as cosmic inflation. When this phase ended, the energy behind it transformed into matter and light and triggered the Big Bang.

Around 380,000 years later, the universe cooled enough for atomic nuclei to capture electrons. This stage is known as recombination. After that, the universe remained dark for nearly 200 million years because no stars had yet formed to produce light.

National Geographic mentioned that gravity caused hydrogen and helium to come together and form the first stars and galaxies in the universe. Inside these early stars, nuclear reactions created heavier elements such as iron, carbon, and oxygen, which later became the building blocks for planets and other cosmic objects.

The James Webb Space Telescope might provide the first detailed observations of the gas mixtures in the atmospheres of Earth-sized exoplanets. Webb, or a similar future spacecraft, could detect key gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane, which are similar to those found in Earth's atmosphere and could serve as strong evidence of possible life beyond our planet.
