Warp Drive Might Be Possible

Nick Pope Fully Unfurls: RAF Fighter Jets Ready to Battle UFOs at Olympics Games
June 8th, 2012If Pope actually said these things, it’s very strange, because he’s on the record (on his own site) as not buying into a false flag UFO event theory for the 2012 Olympics: I’m personally skeptical about a false flag alien invasion theory, but it’s a failsafe prediction because if it doesn’t happen, its supporters will […]
