Summary

In this special episode of Somewhere in the Skies, we pause to honor the life and legacy of one of the most influential voices in UFO research, Nick Pope, who passed away on April 6, 2026. A former UK Ministry of Defence official who once investigated UFO sightings for the government, Nick became a bridge between official inquiry and public curiosity. This episode is both a tribute and a time capsule. We revisit Ryan’s on-location interview with Nick Pope and The Basement Office’s Stephen Greenstreet in New York City, a conversation that captures Nick at his most candid, thoughtful, and intellectually sharp. From government secrecy and evolving UAP investigations to the ever-changing landscape of disclosure, Nick’s perspective reminds us why his voice mattered so much. More than just a researcher, Nick was a colleague, a friend, and a steady presence in a rapidly shifting field. As we look back on this conversation, we also look forward, carrying on the questions he championed and the pursuit of truth he never abandoned. Rest in peace, Nick Pope. Your legacy will continue somewhere in the skies. Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.
