Dastardly foolishness in the UFO community

There’s been a tawdry turn among UFOers which, if you’re not a Facebooker, is noted by Kevin Randle at his blog: kevinrandle.blogspot.com

Brit David Clarke has resurrected a slur about Nick Pope’s credentials while working at the Military Office of Defense in England, Clarke writing that Nick never investigated UFOs, as Nick claims.

Kevin provides an answer and Nick, himself has defused the issue often when it was brought up previously by Mr. Clarke and others in the past.

Currently, it’s Philip Mantle whose beating the bushes with the accusation.

It’s lousy that Mantle and others are running with the smear.

Mantle says my pal Nick Redfern is also wringing Nick Pope’s neck over the accusation(s). I hope that’s not the case as Nick Pope is free of making flush his time and duties at MoD as Kevin points out and makes clear to his readers.

Why the boys are pressing the matter is baffling. It’s not true that Nick has pumped up his job at the MoD, but Clarke, Mantle, and maybe Nick Redfern say they have proof Nick Pope has enhanced his activity at the MoD. I haven’t seen the so-called “proof” but Kevin appears to have provided a concise clarification.

The brouhaha is sleazy in its import and beneath contempt.

But as Gilles Fernandez often says, "That's ufology."
