Eclipse will lead to upsurge in UFO sightings and crazy behaviour claims ex MoD man

A MAN who was been at the heart of organising Ministry of Defence (MoD) contingency plans for upcoming total eclipse sightings has warned there could be an upsurge in UFO sightings and strange behaviour today.

Nick Pope worked for the UK MoD in the 1990s and was involved in investigating the UFO phenomenon and contingency planning for the chaos caused by a total eclipse.

Today’s total solar eclipse will be seen in the UK at around 7.40pm.

It is called the Great American Eclipse because it can be seen at totality from the west to the east coast.

Mr Pope, who now speaks at UFO conferences across the globe, expects an increase in UFO sighting.

He said: “Past experience suggests there will be an upsurge in UFO sightings during the total eclipse. “I suspect many of these will turn out to be news helicopters filming the crowds, or drones flown by amateur photographers, and maybe the sightings occur simply because more people are looking at the sky.

“But don’t be surprised if Monday’s eclipse results in hundreds of UFO sightings all across America.”

There could be UFO sightings and crazy behaviour during the eclipse.

He also said to expect strange behaviour during the eclipse.

He added: “Sadly, there’s a dark side – pun intended – to the eclipse.

“Such events bring out the crazies, and I confidently predict that there will be an upsurge in nutjobbery at the time of the total eclipse.

“I’ve already seen predictions that the world will end, along with suggestions that we’ll see more sightings of Bigfoot, demons, and all manner of other weird stuff.”

Mr Pope also revealed how eclipses were a headache for the authorities due to huge numbers of people descending on areas where the eclipse will reach totality.

He said: “With millions of people squeezing into a small geographic area, there are tremendous pressures on infrastructure.

“Petrol stations run out of fuel, cash machines run out of money, and shops run out of food.

But don’t be surprised if Monday’s eclipse results in hundreds of UFO sightings all across America.

“Nobody can resupply because the area is gridlocked.

“I was involved in contingency planning for a Ministry of Defence operation – imaginatively entitled Operation Eclipse – that involved hundreds of troops being placed on standby to deal with a breakdown of various essential services, and I’m sure the US government has a similar plan in place for today.”

Yet, Mr Pope did not help the MoD during the total eclipse seen over the UK in August 1999.

He made sure he could experience it as a member of the public three years in advance.

He said: “I’m an eclipse geek. I saw the total eclipse in August 1999 in Devon, and while it was overcast, nothing can quite prepare you for totality.

“It’s as if a giant dimmer switch is suddenly turned, with it going from day to night in a few seconds.

“I booked annual leave from the MoD three years in advance, just so I could get away from London and travel to somewhere in the path of totality.

“With only a short time left to the total eclipse, I urge anyone who can do so to travel to the path of totality. It’s an experience like none other.”
