UFOs - Are We Alone?

A recent Pentagon report on UFOs concluded that investigations since World War II have found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology on Earth. Despite what people often fervently believe, there's no evidence that the government has found alien tech or beings. The Pentagon, disagreeing with UFO sightings since the 1940s, says recent investigations also haven't proven aliens are out there.   

Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the UK Ministry of Defence, is a close observer of the Pentagon's investigations. An employee at the British Government's Ministry of Defence from 1985 to 2006, working at what was known as the UFO desk, and responsible for investigating phenomena to determine if they had any defence significance. The author of science fiction and a media commentator regarding UFO phenomena joined Philip Clark on Nightlife to discuss the possibilities of life elsewhere and whether we are alone.
