Conspiracy Theories
While investigating UFO sightings for the MoD, Nick Pope was often accused of
being part of a government cover-up to hide the truth about UFOs. He became
interested in conspiracy theories more generally and the related issue of the
psychology of belief. Nick Pope has looked into various conspiracy theories
including those surrounding 9/11, the death of Princess Diana, the moon landings
and the assassination of JFK. He found that when examined in detail, these
conspiracy theories are based on factual inaccuracies or misinterpretations,
together with fundamental misunderstandings about the way in which governments
operate. See the Conspiracy Theories
section of this website for further details.

limits on what he is able to discuss. Nick Pope contributed to the History
