Nick Pope, the man who has been called “the real-life Fox Mulder,” says if aliens were to ever actually invade and attack Earth, given our current lack of preparedness, there is little to nothing we can do to stop them.
The Daily Express reports that Pope, who while employed by the British government’s Ministry of Defence was tasked with investigating UFO phenomena, recently wrote, “If real-life aliens are regarding this Earth with envious eyes, and are drawing up plans, what are our plans to deal with them? The short answer is that there aren’t any.”
“If it came to a real-life War of the Worlds, there’s no alien invasion war plan – we’ll just have to wing it,” Pope continued.
“Conspiracy theorists will doubtless say there is a plan, buried somewhere deep within government, but I promise there isn’t,” Pope added. “If there was, I would have been responsible for writing it.”
Damn.
Pope also warns that if aliens were to ever attack Earth and shut down “critical infrastructure” the extraterrestrials wouldn’t be the only threat humanity would have to face.
“If your children were hungry and crying, what would you do to get them food?” he asked. “How far would you go? You’d do what it takes, right? Of course, you would.”

He continued, “All this may strike people as being the worst-case scenario: threats from hostile extraterrestrials, and perhaps threats from fellow survivors too, as society breaks down and people compete for scarce resources.
“And all of this in a situation where our pampered modern lifestyles mean people are losing basic skills we’ve had since the human story first began – how many people reading this article are confident they could light a fire the old-fashioned way, without using matches or a lighter?”
Valid question. And based on recent data, not many.
Like he says, it’s better to be prepared for the worst rather than assuming everything will be fine and then when it isn’t… disaster.
Pope also points out a key piece of irony in that “given that so many people are searching for aliens, it’s crazy that we don’t have a plan for what to do if we actually find them.”
Unfortunately, for everyone, we still don’t know with 100 percent certainty that aliens even actually exist.
But we do know for sure that…
