from what I had been informed it's something along the lines of he has made claims of top secret clearance and working within the MI5 secret files Mulder and Scully style, while in fact it has been shown that actually he didn't and was just working the report desk, answering the phone and opening mail. then passing it on up the command line.
Then he comes out riding off the back of this, kicking out "expert" book deals, and TV appearances. He's a media junkie, and pops up every chance given, and the media love him for it!

Sigh...It was only a matter of time before Nick "make it cash" Pope got in on the act, the man while doing the job said he saw nothing in the files that was extraordinary yet now he's 'on the circuit' suddenly its all big news.

That's exactly what I would have written too but to add something else to the discussion.... I suspect that he's still employed by the MOD and they allow him to do his bit on the UFO circuit safe in the knowledge that he will only reveal as much as they want.

Can anybody find the necessary facts on date/time of the event so it can be compared with potential prosaic stimuli?

I took the liberty to email Nick Pope, asking him to clarify a few points regarding his roll at the M.O.D. So this was his reply.

Dave,
My job title was Secretariat(Air Staff)2a, but because this is meaningless to most people, I talk about "running MoD's UFO project", because that's the 'does what it says on the tin' description.
I can't comment in detail on my security clearance, but it was TS codeword, to use a generally understood official term.
I don't think "many people" question my role. Some people exaggerate it, because they mistakenly thought I was the Minister for Defence, as opposed to having worked for the Ministry of Defence. A tiny handful of UK skeptics (no more than 3 or 4) dishonestly try to downplay my role by pretending it was clerical as opposed to managerial - documents released under FOI nailed their lies.
I always have foreknowledge about the MoD UFO files (not least because I wrote many of them) but can't pre-empt things and talk about files before they're released - next batch tomorrow, by the way!
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Nick Pope
