Veteran aerospace journalist Nick Cook thinks the claims that private contractors have engaged in efforts to reverse-engineer recovered alien technology are true, and he has a reason for it.
These claims, Nick told me during a recent chat, are consistent with what he has heard over the years from his sources in the advanced concepts offices of large American military contractors. These sources, he said, long dropped hints about the existence of mind-blowing technologies far beyond what is publicly known to exist.
“It wasn’t ever said quite so explicitly that this did not come from human beings,” Nick, the author of The Hunt for Zero Point, recalled. “But it was certainly said in very suggestive ways that, ‘Hey Nick, whatever you are writing about in terms of stealth or hypersonics or whatever breakthrough area it is, it’s just the tip of the iceberg, matey. You could look a whole lot deeper than that and you’d be astounded.’”
In the course of our conversation, Nick, who now publishes Nick Cook’s Rogue Icons on Substack, recounted how his understanding of reality gradually expanded over the course of a decades-long career spanning defense journalism and consulting.
Nick and I also discussed our respective paths to covering the UFO mystery, and why we now tuck even the zaniest things we hear about anomalous phenomena — like claims about “reptilian” aliens — into a proverbial desk drawer, rather than tossing them straight into the rubbish bin.
