Sara Carter: US govt puts evidence of UFO’s ‘front and center’
Sara Carter invited a British expert on all things unidentified and flying to discuss the latest revelations about UFO’s in her latest episode of the Sara Carter Show. Her guest Nick Pope worked for the British Ministry of Defense for 21 years. During his career, he researched and investigated UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles and other strange phenomena for the British government from 1991-1994. After Sixty Minutes interviewed a government employee who’s job it is to study unknown aerial phenomena, Carter and Pope sat down to discuss.
In the interview, Luis Elizondo, employee of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, admits that UAP are discovered on a regular basis. While he’s studied the phenomena since 2008, he’s only now going on the record.
But, according to Pope, a delayed response to questions surrounding UFO’s is “quite understandable.” Because “I think we would far rather a report that is properly done, then something just rushed out to try and meet a fairly arbitrary deadline,” Pope said.

Carter mentioned that much of the discovery of UFO’s came because these encounters tended to interfere with U.S. government technology. To her, these reports seemed “really concerning.”
“Well, I was certainly privy to some fairly extraordinary reports at the UK Ministry of Defense,” Pope said. “But I must say, the sorts of things being reported recently in the United States do seem to take it to another level altogether . . . this should be the absolute top of the list of strategic priorities.”
Previously, the U.S. stratagem for confronting UAP “conspiracies” was to deny, debunk and downplay. “And now it’s like the U.S. government is itself putting this out front and center,” Pope said. So, what changed?
Pope suggested that the nation might be trying to get ahead of a much bigger story. “Perhaps the assessment in government and even if they say it’s still unidentified, they will have a best current assessment. And maybe that best current assessment is a little bit scary. Maybe it says something is coming.”
And if something really is coming, “We’d have to rethink almost every aspect of our lives,” Pope said. “And let’s face it, the world would be more interesting with aliens in it than not.”

Morale Surges Among Border Authorities Following Trump’s Election, Tom Homan’s Appointment as ‘Border Czar’
The election of President-elect Donald Trump has sparked a notable rise in morale among U.S. border authorities, who view Trump’s commitment to border security as a turning point after years of relaxed immigration policies. Following four years that saw record numbers of migrants entering the United States, Trump’s election on promises of border security and mass deportations has revived a sense of optimism within the ranks of Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On Monday, Trump tapped Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE and a respected figure among border authorities, as his administration’s “border czar.” Homan, who has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s immigration policies, expressed his determination to address the border crisis. Appearing on Fox & Friends, Homan said, “I’ve been on this network for years complaining about what this administration did to this border… So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course, I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t.”
Under President Biden, illegal border crossings surged to nearly 3 million in fiscal 2024, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Since fiscal 2021, there have been over 10.8 million encounters involving illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Homan has publicly backed Trump’s plan for mass deportations, emphasizing that public safety and national security threats would be prioritized. When asked in a recent 60 Minutes interview if these deportations would lead to family separations, Homan responded that “families can be deported together.”
For many border officials, Homan’s appointment and Trump’s election represent a long-awaited return to policies they believe are essential to restoring border security. National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez noted, “The morale is through the roof… We’ve received hundreds of calls, texts, emails just saying how happy the agents are.”
“Troops are finally feeling like the sun is coming out after a very long storm,” said one ICE officer in Massachusetts, while an ICE officer in New York described morale as “super high, especially with the Homan news.” An Arizona Border Patrol agent added, “Ecstatic to go to work! Morale is even higher than the first time he won.”
The morale boost has even impacted retirement plans for some border agents. “There are a lot of agents that had originally said that they would retire if President Trump did not win,” Perez said. “Now those same agents are saying they’re going to hold back on their retirement because they want to serve under this administration again.”
A California border agent shared that “nothing will change until Tom Homan takes the leash off us,” while a Texas border agent commented on the renewed enthusiasm: “People who were going to retire are not, and everyone is happy.” Another senior ICE official expressed satisfaction, saying, “People know now they will get to do the work they signed up to do… They know they can get the bad guys now. Public safety threats, national security threats, gang members—here we come.”
Officials also expressed relief at the prospect of no longer being required to use politically correct language, such as referring to illegal immigrants as “noncitizens.”
