Hey Besties! We are officially kicking off mentor month! There’s no better way to end the year than with words of wisdom from icons to send us into the new year right, so let’s get into it!This week on Almost Adulting Violet is joined by Nick Pope. Nick Pope is a journalist, media commentator, and former lead of the British Government's Ministry of Defence, where he was responsible for investigating UFO phenomena. The two talk about EVERYTHING UFO’s! From places with the most sightings, why the government may or may not be hiding their findings from the public, and how soon we may find out the truth about extraterrestrial life and what that means for us. Although it may not be like the movie ET, there is definitely something out there.
