"For as long as mankind has fixed his gaze upon the heavens, the age-old question has remained," ""Are we alone... in the universe?"" "As our tools for exploring this vast expanse continue to improve, the answer to our question comes more clearly into focus." "It's now estimated that for every grain of sand on planet Earth, there is another earth-like planet capable of sustaining life." "So... can we truly be alone?" "I can introduce a man who says," ""There are more things between heaven and hell than any of us have accepted."" "And I have the witnesses and the documents to prove it." "Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Steven Greer." "On May 9th, 2001, 20 military, government, and corporate witnesses, held a press conference in Washington DC." "And these are folks who have been involved in so-called "Black Budget", or covert unacknowledged projects." "They described a decades long conspiracy to cover up extraterrestrial visitation to Earth." "These unacknowledged special access projects are taking in at least 40 to 80 billion dollars per year." "And the study of extraterrestrial technology in covert military programs." "And, they are sitting on technologies that can change the world forever." "This technology would liberate Earth from fossil fuels, environmental devastation, and poverty in a single generation." "I didn't believe in UFOs until London control called us in the winter of 1962 and asked us would we chase one." "Their testimony would make history." "I said, "what are you gonna tell the public about it?"" "And he says, "No, we don't tell the public about this, it would panic the public."" "This was the most-watched event in the history of the National Press Club." "We actually did recoveries of crashed saucers." "There were bodies that were involved with some of these crashes." "There were also some were alive." "It marks the beginning of the global disclosure movement." "These just were hovering off the floor without any visible means of support." "They were referred to as," ""Alien reproduction vehicles."" "Fifteen years later," "Dr. Steven Greer opened his archives of documents and interviews." "This information was refused to the President of the United States by the director of Central Intelligence" "George Bush Senior." "They revealed the true story of the secrecy, and of disclosure." "There is no evidence." "I wish to emphasize that these lifeforms from elsewhere are hostile towards us." "But there is a great deal of evidence that they are concerned with our hostility." "This is that story." "Four, three, two..."

"Mikhail Gorbachev." "One of my biggest disappointments over the last 25 years is those who lack the courage of their convictions." "If one percent of the people who I've talked with, met with, or briefed, had that courage, this would have all been fixed long ago." "I've always told them," ""If you won't do it, I will."" "So here it goes..." "For all I know you may be visited by a different extraterrestrial civilization every second Tuesday." "But there's no support for this appealing idea." "The extraordinary claims are not supported by extraordinary evidence." "He's always asked, "Where's the evidence?"" ""Or where's the beef on the UFO issue?"" "In fact, we have so much evidence that Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was in charge of project Blue Book for the Air Force, stated that it's an embarrassment of riches." "We have so much." "I'm Richard Doty." "I was assigned as a special agent with the Air Force office special investigations at Kirtland Air Force base." "I was a counter-intelligence officer at the base." "During my time there, my first few months there," "I was briefed into a special access program involving the US government's investigation and contacts with extraterrestrial." "The visitation of these extraterrestrials to..." "To Earth." ""I can assure you that flying saucers, given that they exist, are not constructed by any power on Earth."" "President Harry S. Truman." "And it started out with a crash at Roswell." "Headline Additions, July 8th, 1947." "The army Air Force has announced that a flying disc has been found, and is now in the possession of the army." "Army officers say the missile found sometime last week has been inspected at Roswell, New Mexico, and sent to Wright Field, Ohio for further inspection." "Roswell's almost become a joke because there's so much myth and narrative around it." "But, if you look at the Guy Hottel document, there was a field agent sent to J. Edgar Hoover." ""The three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico."" ""Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape, but only three feet tall."" "The case's become the number one document viewed on the FBI website after we released this." "Now the craft was a more or less an oval or egg-shaped craft." "It wasn't saucer shaped." "That particular craft..." "There were some problems with..." "Number one, getting it onto the flatbed to take it up to Area 51." "The interior craft was, uh..." "It didn't have any actual levers or flight control systems that we would identify as a flight control system." "But they eventually, I think, over some time figured it out." "And it was done all by hands." "The creatures would put their hands on controls, and they'd have this headset on, and this headset would somehow control, or help them control the aircraft." "And they did discuss the fact that there were bodies." "Extra-terrestrial?" "Extra-terrestrial bodies, yes." "The creatures were about uh, four foot." "Some of the creatures were mangled, or heavily injured, and their bodies were torn apart." "There were four, uh, aliens aboard I think." "And those aliens went to Los Alamos." "And we were told that the extra-terrestrial went to" "Kirtland field, Kirtland Air force base." "And then onto Los Alamos." "Too bad." "Thought he said it wasn't anything, and their..." "In the anatomy books, it wasn't anything and what our medical schools..." "They had never seen anything like this." "First I thought it was a..." "A child because it was small." "Then I looked at his head and all..." "The head was different, the arms was spindly, the body was gray." "But the creatures were approximately four foot." "They had..." "Didn't appear to have any ears." "They only had two orifices." "They didn't have ear lobes, they had two ear canals." "They had an indentation for nose, very, very big eyes." "Enlarged eyes." "The fingers had no thumbs..." "Just four fingers." "Suction devices under the tips of their fingers." "You know, the four fragile fingers, and the long arm, real short joint." "Almost looked like they were nude." "But they actually had a very thin but tight fitting suit on." "One was alive..." "Partially alive at the time that this happened." "They died in..." "I believe it was 1952." "But the bodies of the extraterrestrials that were found at the scene were in a deep freeze..." "Placed in a deep freeze, and sent to Wright Patt field in Dayton, Ohio." "One of the briefing officers that was taking us around and talking about what was going on, they said that there had been over a hundred crashes in that four corners area." "I just saw another craft..." "Holy shit!" "After Roswell, there was a flurry of ET activity across the globe." "Dr. Greer spent eight years trying to persuade members of congress, and other high level government officials in the intelligence community to disclose what was happening." "But to no avail." "So in 2001, he formed the disclosure project." "What you're about to see is first hand witness testimony of events over the past 50 years." "Many are telling their stories for the first time." "This is only the tip of the iceberg, as hundreds more have given us their testimony, but are too fearful to go on camera for fear of repercussions for themselves and for their families." ""I feel that the Air Force has not been giving out all the available information on these Unidentified Flying Objects."" ""You cannot disregard so many unimpeachable sources."" "Honorable John McCormack." "Speaker of the House." "Now I'm one of those what you would call the high government officials in the FAA." "I was the division chief." "I was only three or four down from the admiral." "The way it started is the Japanese airlines, 747, was coming from the Northwest, going across the Alaskan territory." "So, his radar is picking up a target." "He sees this target with his eye." "And the target, the way he described it," ""Was a huge ball with lights running around it, four times as big as a 747."" "The Japanese pilot would say he's now at 11 o'clock, he's now at 1 o'clock, he's now at 3 o'clock." "When he would say that the military guy would cut in and say that he's now at 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock and he would confirm the position." "He said this the first time they ever had 30 minutes of radar data on a UFO, and they're all itching to get their hands on the data, and if they come out and told the American public" "that they ran into a UFO out there it would cause panic across the country." "So therefore you can't talk about it." "And they're taking all this data." "And I had the pilots report that came through, and I had the FAA's press report that was all downstairs on my table." "They didn't ask for that." "And so I didn't give it to them." "The plane that I was going to be flying in, was an F-104, which was the fastest-known aircraft to mankind at that time." "So we're flying down the Rhine river, we're up at high altitude, and about that time," "I spot a bogey at about 10 o'clock over here." "I don't recognize the craft." "I said, "Bogey, 10 o'clock."" "And the captain looked over there, said, "Well, let's find out."" "So he kicked it into after-burner, and we went after that and it disappeared just like that." "He says, "Please, whatever you do, do not say anything about this encounter."" ""It will get me in much trouble."" "So that was my first introduction to cover up." "So, everything was going along pretty, just ho-hum routine." "They dimmed the lights first in the command center when they said," ""Condition Zebra alert."" "Most of the times when they set these drills, they would say, "This is a drill, his is a drill."" "But they turned the lights down this time and didn't say this is a drill." "We had contact with an unidentified flying object that had entered our airspace." "We had it on radar for almost an hour." "The order was given by Admiral Train, to try and get this object forced down out of the sky if at all possible, by whatever means possible." "What was really driving him nuts was this thing absolutely had complete control of the situation." "And could just be wherever it wanted to be." "Just in a matter of seconds." "One minute off the coast of Maine, and the next minute it's in Norfolk headed south towards Florida." "After that we found out that it wasn't the Russians." "They didn't care who it was or where it was from." "They wanted it, and wanted it bad." "At various times I had loaded and unloaded nuclear weapons, and I was considered sane, so to speak, and able to handle nuclear weapons." "But apparently UFOs are..." "Well I know that they're..." "Well above, uh, even nuclear weapons and secrecy." "One particular night we just finished our refueling mission," "London control called us and asked us if we would intercept a UFO over the center of England, roughly in the Stonehenge," "Oxford area." "We're up at about 33,000 feet, and these UFOs were down at about a thousand feet." "We dove on it." "Eventually we got up close to it, and we could see what looked like a cruise ship out at sea with all the lights and everything." "Got out about a mile from it and it went up into space." "London control said you can continue on with your mission." "Apparently, Prince Philip thought that was a very important..." "We were invited to dinner at the Officers club where he was a speaker, and he knew all about the fact that we had chased the UFO." "He kind of made me a believer in it since." "I had seen him personally, of course, before that, but..." "When someone of his stature indicates that, uh, they're real, and probably from another planet, it's very convincing." ""I believe that these ET vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth."" "Astronaut Gordon Cooper." "We should go boldly where man has not gone before." "Fly by the comets, visit asteroids, visit the moon of Mars." "There's a monolith." "They're a very unusual structure on this little potato-shaped object that goes around Mars once in seven hours." "When people find out about that, they're gonna say, "Who put that there?"" ""Who put that there?"" "Dr. Greer has been around people with Top Secret clearance his whole life." "His uncle helped to design the original lunar module that put the first men on the moon." "In 1961, President Kennedy challenged NASA to put Americans in space, and on the moon by the end of the decade." "Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept." "One that we're unwilling to postpone." "And one we intend to win." "The disclosure project archives includes testimony from extraordinary individuals, who are part of this great effort to explore outer space, including astronauts Gordon Cooper, and Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon." "Yes, there had been ET visitation." "There had been crashed craft." "There had been, uh, material and bodies recovered." "And there is some group of people somewhere that may or may not be associated with government at this point, but certainly were at one time that had this knowledge." "And had been attempting to conceal this knowledge." "We walked over to one side of the lab and he said, "By the way, we've discovered a base on the back side of the moon."" "And I said..." "I said, "Whose?"" "What do you mean, "Whose?"" "Well, let's see, uh..." "And then he pulled out one of these mosaics and showed..." "Showed this base which had geometric shapes." "There were towers, there were spherical buildings." "They were very tall towers, and things that looked somewhat like radar dishes but they were large structures." "And at that point I became frightened, and I was a little terrified." "Thinking to myself that if anybody walks into the room now," "I know we're in jeopardy, we're in trouble, because he shouldn't be giving this information." "The crew of the carrier Kearsarge goes into action off Midway Island in the Pacific for the return of a hero, Major Gordon Cooper." "The capsule door is blown off and Cooper's flight ends." "A performance that exceeded the most optimistic predictions." "You're watching 8 News Now." "At 11..." "Officially, the US government ended it's study of UFOs in 1969." "Because it assured the public, there is no proof the phenomena represents a threat to national security." "But, what if these unknown aircraft showed an interest in our nuclear weapons?" "A group of more than 150 military veterans, missile officers, security personnel, including many who worked at the Nevada test sites say they've seen mystery intruders over nuclear facilities." "In advancing this concept," "Vandenberg Air Force base, California, has become the first aerospace operations center of the Air Force." "They actually photographed the UFO following the missile as it climbed into space and shining a beam on it which should've neutralized the missile." "It flew into the frame like this, and it shot a beam of light at the warhead which is represented by my thumb here." "So this thing fires a beam of light at the warhead, hits it, and then this thing flies up like this, it fires another beam of light, goes around like this, it fires another beam of light," "goes down like this and fires another beam of light, and then flies out the way it came in." "And the warhead tumbles out into outer space." "And when the lights came on, Major Mansmann turned around and looked at me and said," ""Were you guys screwing around up there?"" "And I said, "No, sir!"" "And he said," ""What was that?"" "And I said," ""It looks to me like we got a UFO."" "The idea of any explosion in space by any Earth government was not acceptable to the extraterrestrials." "And that has been demonstrated over and over." "By the destruction of any nuclear weapons sent into space." "It was early in the morning," "I received a call from my top side security guard." "He and some of the guards had been observing some strange lights flying around the launch control facility, and I said, "Whoa, you mean UFO?"" "I think I used that word." "He didn't know what they were." "But they were lights, they were flying around." "I just kind of shook my head and just said, "Well, call me if anything more important that happens."" "He calls back, and this time he's very frightened." "I can tell by the tone of his voice he's very shook up, and says, "Sir, there's a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate."" "And as I was relating this to him, our missiles started shutting down one by one." "The Air Force did an extensive investigation of the entire incident, and was not able to come up with a probable cause for the shutdowns." "The missiles are not connected to each other." "Having a fault at one side would not affect missiles that are at another location." "Assuming they've always been there," "I don't know what caused this great interest in us?" "This large incursion after '47." "And I remember every thought from that, and he said, "Well, obviously, yet our atom bomb."" "A one-and-a-half stage, 132 tonne ballistic device, now fully operational, after an evolutionary background of more than 50 years of powered flight." "Roswell was not the beginning." "It was a turning point." "We just dropped two bombs on a country, and we had a test of that bomb a few months earlier for a few weeks earlier in New Mexico." "This probably was observed by these aliens somewhere." "Whether they were doing through reconnaissance back then, or how they had figured it out." "So they came here to..." "To observe, and try to figure out what the heck was that." "At the time of the crash, shortly after the detonation of the first atomic weapons," "Roswell was the only nuclear armed squadron in the world." "If you accept the bouncer dimensional theory, it's highly likely that we've done a hell of a lot of damage." "In somebody else's world, we might have even done more damage there than we did here." "The underlying theme that connects most of the disclosure project case files is the fact that these close encounters tend to occur near our nuclear facilities suggesting that these visitors are deeply concerned with our hostility, and the existential threat that we pose to ourselves and others" "once we learned to split the atom." "These are some of the highest ranking military officials in our defense program." "They are trusted with, you know, nuclear weapons." "They are trusted with top-level security clearances and secrets." "But the minute that they start talking about this particular subject, they'd become pariah." ""I believe the American people are entitled to a more thorough explanation than has been given them by the Air Force."" ""I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs, and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment of the subject."" "Former President, Gerald Ford." "I am prepared to state that I have been at locations where craft of unknown origin that not originated on the face of this planet was there." "I am prepared to state that while I was there we saw living, dead bodies of entities that were not born on this planet." "I am prepared to state that we had what they referred to as interfacing with those entities." "Never, is there any compelling physical evidence..." "The question is, who are people like Carl Sagan, and before him, Professor Donald Menzel?" "It turns out that Sagan, in his early career, actually spoke and wrote about UFOs in a way that was affirmative, that was legitimate." "After he was threatened by the intelligence community, and blackmailed, he then began to debunk the issue." "Skepticism is very healthy." "And I'm a big skeptic about more than 90% of the information out there on this subject which the public needs to be skeptical." "However, skepticism is not just blindly denying everything that is legitimate." "For example, we have 3,500 cases where extra terrestrial vehicles have landed and left physical traces." "We have 4,000 cases where they have been tracked on radar, and seen by pilots." "We have an enormous amount of photo and video evidence, and physical evidence." "And, in our last project, brought out an actual body that is most likely not of human origin." "So, the question becomes what is the metric for the evidence?" "Well, the evidence is actually overwhelming." "There's more evidence for UFOs than there are for black holes." "Most of the theories in astrophysics, most of the evidence for most of the medicines you take." "I'm speaking now as a trauma doctor." "And yet, we have this blockage in the mainstream media and scientific establishment saying," ""Where is the evidence?"" ""What do we know?"" "We know now we live in an ever-expanding universe." "We know that there are billions of stars, and planets literally out there." "And the universe is getting bigger." "We know from our fancy telescopes that just in the last 2 years, more than 20 planets have been identified outside our solar system that seem to be far enough from their suns and dense enough that they might be able to support" "some form of life." "So..." "It makes it increasingly less likely that we're alone." "Oh, you're trying to give me a hint that there are aliens?" ""Of course flying saucers are real, and they are interplanetary."" "Air Chief Marshall," "Lord Dowding." "When I was eight or nine," "I saw one of these objects in broad daylight." "There was a beautiful, seamless, disc in a blue sky back when the skies were very blue." "And I was with some boys in the neighborhood, and we saw this and went, "Oh, My God!"" ""They're real." "We saw a UFO."" "And my parents said, "Oh, well, you're just a kid."" "But I became completely absorbed in this." "So my interest in this goes back to my childhood." "The disclosure project was an accident of history." "In 1990, I formed the center for the study of extraterrestrial intelligence, to form a diplomatic core to make peaceful contact with these civilizations." "Because, once you conclude that they're real, and they're of interstellar origin, the next question is," ""What are we gonna do about it?"" "And so, I concluded what we should be doing about it is not militarizing the relationship, but sort of having a citizens diplomacy effort, much like the physicians for social responsibility who were going to the Soviet Union" "to create a dialog during the coldest days of the Cold War." "There was no one at the United Nations or State Department or any foreign ministry dealing with it." "So we started a set of protocols to make contact." "And sure enough we had some spectacular successes." "Holy, damn, hot shit!" " Hot dog!" " Thank you." "This got kicked up to the intelligence community." "So, by 1992," "I was getting visits from the head of Army Intelligence, people inside the National Security Agency, and other three-lettered agencies." "My intention was never to get involved with trying to disclose this issue." "My interest was in this whole concept of making contact for peaceful purposes, and to advance our civilization from a planetary civilization to an interplanetary civilization." "That was really the heart of my sincere interest." "But along that way, you know, and eventually, a man who is friends with the director of the CIA, by the time Clinton became president, and who said, "You're not gonna be the first person to brief."" ""the Director of Central Intelligence and the Clinton administration on this because they had made inquiries, and they had been lied to, which I did not believe."" "I mean, he was that blunt about it." "This is really where I then went down the rabbit hole." "So can the government keep a secret this big?" "One of the biggest weapons in the intelligence community's arsenal is our general belief that the US government couldn't possibly keep a secret this big from the American public." "But the existence of the National Reconnaissance Office remained secret for over 30 years." "The mere existence of the NSA, jokingly referred to as "No Such Agency,"" "was kept secret, until it grew so large that it was quite conspicuous." "And those working in the Manhattan Project developing the atom bomb were told that any secrets that they disclose would result in ten years in prison, or an equivalent of a $100,000 fine." "Only when the weapons were used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki did the government disclose what they were." "Of all things to keep secret, the fact that there is this bountiful option that we have of reaching out into the stars and being friendly neighbors with other civilizations in sharing information, and sharing resources, and sharing knowledge, and sharing spiritual insights and values." "To suppress that information, and to conceal it is part of the efforts of the national security state that is threatened by that reality." "And so this is one of the ultimate secrets that needs to be exposed." ""We have indeed been contacted, perhaps even visited, by extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public."" "Victor Marchetti, former Special Assistant to the Executive Director of the CIA." "And in this document from the Canadian government," ""The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States government, rating higher than the H-bomb."" "That was the most top secret doomsday weapon at that time in development." "And the second item, B," ""Flying saucers exist, period."" "C, "Their modus operandi is unknown, but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush."" "And then, D," ""The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be of tremendous significance."" "What is more sensitive than the development of the hydrogen bomb prior to its detonation?" "The UFO issue." "Our priority, therefore..." "The entire subject has been managed in a way from the '40s onward with extraordinary secrecy around it." "The event at Roswell, because it resulted in the acquisition of material that could be studied." "It created a sea change in the whole national security organization, because within weeks of that event, the CIA was formed." "Within weeks, there was the formation of the Air Force which was split off from the army Air Force." "It also let, however, the development of unacknowledged special access projects." "Which is why Eisenhower, even though he knew about the subject on a fairly deep level, had completely lost control of it by 1961 when he left office." "We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought by the military industrial complex." "You know, because you think of generals, and you think of Conservatives and Republicans as being very pro-military and business." "But he's talking about the illegal part of it." "He's not talking about the conventional military." "But it's now the military industrial intelligence complex that are moving bureaucratically towards establishing dominion and control over the entire democratic process in the country." "And that they're waging war, invading the Middle Eastern oilfields, and occupying the oilfields, attempting to establish what they themselves refer to as" ""full-spectrum dominance."" "But we're gonna smoke 'em out." "And so the public has to understand there became to be this bifurcation that this separation between legitimate national security and military operations, and the deep black programs that are unacknowledged." "We're talking about the black budget, the deep black, super-secret unacknowledged budget that runs in the 100 to 200 billion dollars a year." "I'm being conservative." "My '03 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending." "More money for the Pentagon when it's own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25% of what it already spends." "According to some estimates we cannot track 2.3 trillion dollars in transactions." "$2.3 trillion with a "T."" "That's $8,000 for every man, woman, and child in America." "We're spending well over a $100 million per day on classified programs that have no congressional oversight, no public scrutiny, uh, there is no monitor of these programs." "A number of these programs go directly through Congress, totally." "When you start going through these documents, these programs start dropping off the radar screen." "These are all classified programs within the defense budget, but they don't supply any technical information on the program." "And if people think that the Congress and the President actually have a hand on this, they're gravely mistaken." "They do not." "This is where we get into the structure of secrecy." "The structure of secrecy is complex, and multifaceted." "We've been led to believe that we live in a mostly transparent democracy, with the President at the top of the intelligence food chain." "A true Commander-in-Chief." "The reality however is much different." "A shadowy government with it's own Air Force, it's own navy, it's own fund-raising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interests, free from all sects and balances," "and free from the law itself." "There is secrecy that is legal, and unfortunately, where Edward Snowden made his mistake, was by disclosing secrets, no matter how inappropriate it might have been that they were going on, that were being managed legally that the President and Congress" "and the intelligence communities knew about." "A traitor!" "A traitor to the United States!" "On the other hand, there's secrecy that is illegal!" "And these are the unacknowledged special access projects." "USAPs, U-S-A-P for short." "What they've done is they formed this alliance among themselves, of the industry that makes money by building war machines." "The military that uses the war machines and justifies them, and then the intelligence community that is not really an intelligence community, it's a covert operations community, armed with military weapons and nuclear weapons, and that they're trying to push the boundaries now" "of establishing their dominion in full-spectrum dominance over the planet." "And in this document, first document that's on the briefing for President Obama's brief, we put together that we gave to John Podesta." "This document lists the compartmented operations out of the Nellis facility, what the public wrongly calls "Area 51."" "I gave this document to the head of intelligence for the joint chiefs of staff," "Admiral Tom Wilson." "Now this is J2." "This is the guy who puts the intelligence briefings together for the joint Chiefs of Staff for the United States of America." "And he got hold of one of these compartments, and he said, "Hello, I'm Admiral Tom Wilson."" ""I want to be read in to or briefed on this project."" "They said, "Yes, sir, we know who you are, and you don't have a need to know."" ""You don't have a need to know."" "The head of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff." "So, this is where the military have been victims of the secrecy." "Because there are many Generals and Admirals and very good officers I had met with who have enormous responsibility that everyone if you pulled a thousand people on the street," "I think every single person would say something this sensitive, they would know about, and if they didn't have knowledge about it..." "And if they asked about it they will be told," ""That is not true."" "There are very clear efforts to engage in covert programs, and to keep the knowledge of those programs away from people, even in positions of constitutional authority." "Our Dick Cheney, he would have a need to know." "They call him Darth Cheney." "We're talking about people way up in the defense industry, people who are running this complex." "People like Ben Rich, like Kelly Johnson." "So these unacknowledged special access projects do not care what your rank and position is." "They care about one thing..." "Will you go along with their agenda?" "And this is exactly what happened when I met with Lord Hill-Norton." "Since my name has become connected with UFO matters in quite a big way in this country," "I have frequently been asked by a person of my background, a former chief of the defense staff, a former chairman of the NATO military committee, what the reasons may be for governments wishing to cover up the facts about UFOs." "That," "I believe, is because governments fear that if they did disclose those facts people would panic." "The only thing he really wanted to know was," "I was head of the ministry of defense, head of the military committee for NATO, head of the MI5, MI6..." "Why wouldn't they have told me?" "And I said, "Well, sir, with all due respect," ""what would you have done?" ""If you'd found out that there was a project" ""that was illegal," ""engaged in assassinations," "" that was keeping from not only our leaders" "" in our constitutionally required oversight," "" technologies and information" "" that would enable us to have a whole new civilization on this planet" "" without pollution," "" or dependency on Mid-East oil, or what have you?"" "And he says, "I would not" ""stick for it for a bloody minute!"" "And he was just in a rage about it." "I said, "That's why they didn't tell you."" "The US Presidents are on record talking about the UFO mystery." "Yeah, Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, both had UFO sightings of their own, but the current presidential campaign might be the first in which..." "UFO disclosure has been championed by a major party candidate." "We had your husband President Clinton on this show." "He said..." "I asked him about UFOs, and Area 51, and..." "If he looked in..." "Because, if I was president that's the first thing I'd do." " I'd go right into those files..." " Right." " ...and see what was going on." " Right." " And he said that he did do that..." " Yes." "And then he didn't find anything?" "Well..." " Oh." " I'm ver..." "I'm gonna do it again." "Yeah, why not?" "Right?" "And you know, there's a new name." "It's, "Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon."" "Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon?" "Really?" "Yeah, UAP, that's the latest nomenclature." "I like the old one, I like UFO." "I don't know why." "Within a couple months of me briefing the CIA director," "I get a visit from one of Bill Clinton's good friends to my home, who says," ""They love what you're recommending," ""that the President do executive orders" ""to declassify and bring all this information out."" "This man comes to my house and says," ""They really think that's a great idea." ""The president won't do it, it's too dangerous."" "And I said, "Well, he's the president."" "" He didn't want to be president he shouldn't have taken on the responsibility and sworn an oath to the constitution."" "And he says, "Yeah, but you understand." ""They don't think that they can protect the president."" "And I said, "What do you mean?"" "And he's sitting at the dinner table with my children." "And he says, "Well, they are concerned that..." ""That President Clinton will end up like Jack Kennedy."" "And I started laughing." "I really..." "I mean, I really started laughing out loud, because I felt this is nonsense, this is like conspiracy kookville." "He says, "No, this is absolutely their concern..." "" Is that if he pushes on this, he is in mortal peril."" "Kennedy may have been engaged in a bit of a struggle with the CIA in trying..." "Attempting to get more information on the UFO subject and that might have accounted for his termination." "And that morning in two of the English speaking newspapers, there was a picture of two UFOs." "So I had placed those on his table where he was going to be sitting, and I said, "Good morning, Mr. President."" "Sat him down and said would you like to have coffee and juice, and he said, "Yes."" "So while I was getting that he's looking at the papers," "I came back in," "President Kennedy says, "What do you think?"" "I looked at him, I looked down at the picture and I said," ""Well, sir, what do you think?"" "And with that magnificent grin of his, he said, "I asked you first."" "I said, "From what I've learned," "" we can't be the only" "" living beings in God's creation."" "He says, "You're right, young man." "" There is" "" considerable knowledge as far as" "" the actual being of UFO and ET phenomena" "" that we're aware of today."" ""I am convinced" "" that UFOs exist" "" because I've seen one."" "President Jimmy Carter." "When President Carter was elected," "I was the legal counsel for the Jesuit National headquarters in Washington DC." "He called the director of the Central Intelligence Agency," "George H. W. Bush, to a meeting, and asked Bush, if as he has the" "Director of Central Intelligence would give to Carters the president-elect all of the information he had on the potential existence of extraterrestrial life, and the issue of whether or not any of the UFO vehicles might be vehicles from another star system." "And George H.W. Bush refused to give him the information." "He said he'd have to go to Congress, and get Congress to have the congressional resource service at the library of Congress declassify it to get it to him if he was gonna get it." "That's a true story." "In some of these cases, absolutely, the President has no need to know because he's a temporary employee." "He's strictly a temporary employee, he does not have a need to know on some of these deeper black programs within the Skunk Works, within the Boeing Phantom Works, and also within the Black Widow group of Northrop." "Congressional research service at the library of Congress, their science and technology division, based on all the information, classified and declassified that they've reviewed that their projection was that there were at least from two to six" "other highly intelligent, highly technologically developed, but nonhuman civilizations just in our milky way galaxy." "There was deep concern that something this important would be kept out of the briefings for the President." "My sort of coming of age, which was hard..." "Anyway..." "It's hard talking about this." "I'm trying to say..." "I was a young doctor asked to do something like this." "Sorry." "I'm a doctor and an ER taking care of shootings, and stabbings, and car wrecks..." "And I'm being asked to brief the CIA director on stuff because he and the president are being lied to?" "What?" "You know, are you..." "I said, "Are you fucking crazy?"" "It was terrible." "Frankly, it was devastating." "Initially, I have to admit, the CIA Director, I thought, to be honest with you, that he was, um, sort of picking my brain to find out what I knew, as opposed to really not knowing." "And by the time the three-hour meeting was over it was quite clear that the emperor had no clothes." "He later denied the meeting." "It happened for a brief..." "This is a wonderful thing." "Now, people say, "How could he write this letter?"" "Basically saying that that this meeting, and what I said about it was a distortion of the truth." "I said, "Because he didn't realize there was a record beforehand."" "And thank God." "I saved the document." "That is the original invitation." "And in that letter, it is explicit." ""I talked to Woolsey this morning" "" and he suggested getting together." "" There was an active attempt being made at lower levels of government" "" to sabotage Project Starlight," ""which was the initiative I started," ""and Laurance Rockefeller helped fund" "" to bring all these top secret people together," ""and recommend these changes to the Clinton administration."" "And then he says," ""This group almost certainly has tapped your phones," "" and is aware of most of the details of your plans." "" Remember the most powerful people in the world" "" will have a deep compelling interest" ""in our activities and will use everything" "" at their disposal to effect their objective."" "Yeah, I thought, "Oh, come on," ""this is like a bad, you know, conspiracy novel."" "Except this became my life." "I think I just became the first president to ever publicly mention Area 51." "How's is that, folks?" "Based upon what Jimmy Carter has said, and based upon what Bill Clinton has said, that they were refused this information." "I believe that is unconstitutional for them to refuse to give the information to the President of the United States." "Many of the disclosure project witnesses have had a close encounter with another facet of the structure of secrecy." "The people who did not agree with this extraordinary secrecy, and made trouble for them ended up having horrific things happen." "He was talking about being erased." "And I said, "Man, what do you mean by erased?"" "He said, "Yes." He said," ""You will be erased."" "If you tell anyone who is not in this room about this project, this bullet has your name on it, and it will find you." "Measures have been taken by agencies to terminate people who are..." "Who appear to be inconvenient, or troublesome through knowing too much." "I've had a hell of a time after I've told this story, but I continue to tell the story because I think it's important for people to understand that this sort of shit goes on in the government!" "That the government covers up information that we are entitled to know about as citizens of this country." ""They'll go after not only you," he said." ""They'll go after your family."" "They were like, "Look, man, we're gonna take you off in a helicopter" ""and we're gonna kick your ass out in the jungle." ""We're gonna end you..." And all this..." "They were never there, this never happened." "When I asked them at the time I said," ""I don't know why you're saying this, I mean, it's..." ""Yeah, there was something there." ""And if it's not the Stealth bomber, then, you know, it's a UFO." ""And if it's a UFO why wouldn't you want the people to know?"" "Well, they got all excited over there." "They don't even want to say those words." "And there have been dozens and dozens of totally, absolutely important, credible people, who've had their careers ruined intentionally by the National Security bureaucracy because they've tried to come forward and fulfill what they've viewed to be their duty." "To report this to their superiors." "3 o'clock in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning, midnight, 10 o'clock, people would call and start screaming at me," ""You're going down, motherfucker!" "You're going down, motherfucker!"" "And he just said that, "Mister, you don't go and start any rumors in Roswell" ""because nothing happened out here."" "But who do you tell that you were involved in a UFO incident without them looking at you like you ain't wrapped too tight." "One night somebody blew up my mailbox, by putting a big load of sky rockets in it." "The mailbox went up in flames." "And that night at 1 o'clock in the morning the phone rang," "I picked it up, and somebody said," ""Sky rockets in your mailbox at night," ""oh, what a beautiful sight, motherfucker."" "Interestingly there was a man on my executive committee, he was a very well-known actor and singer named Burl Ives." "And Burl Ives, he was a 33rd degree Mason." "So all of you people who think that all these secret societies, everyone in it knows everything, they don't know anything." "And he said to me, he says, "We all know that Marilyn Monroe didn't die of a overdose."" "♪ Poo-poo, pee-too ♪" "He said, "Do you know why they killed Marilyn?"" "Mr. President, the late Marilyn Monroe." "And I said," ""Well, I didn't until I got this document."" "It's a virtual death warrant, because she was found a couple of days later." "Three August, 1962, wiretap of telephone conversations between reporter Dorothy Kilgallen, who was looking into Roswell and other UFO issues, and her close friend, Howard Rothberg." "From wiretap of telephone conversation of Marilyn Monroe, and Attorney General, Bobby Kennedy." "Rothberg discussed the apparent comeback of the subject with Kilgallen, and the breakup with the Kennedys." "This is referring to the fact that Marilyn Monroe had been having an affair with not one but both Kennedy brothers, and it was becoming conspicuous so they broke it off." "Rothberg indicated in so many words, that she had secrets to tell, no doubt, arising from her trysts with the President and the Attorney General." "Once that secret mentions the visit of the president at a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space." "Now, this is 1962." "Kilgallen said that if the story is true, it would be a terrible embarrassment for Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon." "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the the other thing." "Not because they are easy, but because they are hard." "The subject repeatedly called the Attorney General and complained about the way that she was being ignored by the President and his brother." "Subject threatened to hold a press conference and would tell all." "It's a tragic situation because she was an actress, she didn't understand the National security state, and the viciousness of those who want to keep these sort of secrets." "The aliens won't let it happen!" "We'll reveal all their secrets." "And they exercise strict control over us." "Now, you know, there are a lot of people that are going to examine your facial expressions here," " every twitch, everything, and say..." " Oh, no." "And of course, did you look, did you see, did you, explore?" "I..." "I can't reveal anything." "Oh, really?" "Because President Clinton said he did go right in, and he did check, and there was nothing." "Well, you know, that's what we're instructed to say." "One of the most powerful elements of the structure of secrecy has to do with the infiltration and control over mainstream media." "♪ It's a media-opoly ♪" "♪ A media-opoly ♪" "♪ Now, our media is controlled by a few corporations ♪" "♪ Thanks to deregulation by the FCC ♪" "♪ You mean Disney, Fox, Westinghouse and good ol' GE?" "♪" "♪ They own networks from CBS to CNBC ♪" "♪ They can use them to say ♪" "♪ Whatever they please ♪" "♪ And put down the opinions ♪" "♪ Of anyone who disagrees ♪" "We've observed first-hand the intelligence community influencing the media when they're trying to cover their story." "We have memoranda, after memoranda, after memoranda citing the psychological warfare and propaganda value of the subject." "This is a very important thing for the public to understand." "How do you keep something secret?" "You hide it in plain sight." "And I suspect that, uh, unless a... the defense department proves us otherwise that it was probably some form of an alien spacecraft." "And I think as a public figure you have to be very careful about what you say, because people can have pretty emotional reactions and..." "And I said my goal wasn't to try to stir the pot." "And now I'll ask officer Stein and his colleagues to escort the accused into the room so that we may all look upon the guilty party." "Don't get him too close to me, please." "In the alien costume is the governor's chief of staff." "And this just goes to show that you guys are entirely too serious." "So it's there." "Everyone..." "I mean 5% of the US population have seen these objects, but you create an environment where the subject is so pilloried and ridiculed, that no respectable scientist or doctor would want to be identified with it." "Internal documents from the Defense Department intelligence agencies explicitly stating that they want to have this campaign of ridiculing and destroying the credibility of completely credible, completely honest eye witnesses to UFO sightings." "And even sightings of extraterrestrial beings on the ground." "That they want them discredited." "They want their credibility destroyed." "If someone comes out and says," "I saw a UFO on TV." "The only ones who see a UFO on TV programs are the rednecks." "Out in the country that, uh..." "That are going coon hunting or alligator hunting at night." "You don't find anybody with any kind of smarts or..." "Or some professional individual saying," ""Hey, last night, let me tell you about something, so..."" "And this officially was released by the CIA." "Talking about how they have people embedded in all the major media to change, alter, and affect stories to their benefit." "You are fake news." "So every news..." "Uh, agency..." "Every television, radio station, in the Albuquerque or Santa Fe area, had our snitches in there." "So we knew..." "And we pay 'em." "We pay 'em good money." "One of the good..." "One of the reasons you get to people is you pay 'em." "And, uh..." "And that was controversial." "That was somewhat controversial." "Oh, yes, yes, yeah." "I'm not gonna name em." ""We now have relationship with reporters from every underlined" ""major wire service, newspaper," ""news weekly, and television network in the nation." ""In many instances," ""we have persuaded reporters to postpone, change, hold," ""or even scrap" ""stories that could have adversely affected National security interests," ""or jeopardized our sources and methods."" "And it goes on." "To then to say that they have the same within academic circles." "There's a finding that the high committee made, that they had verified 42 full-time Central Intelligence Agency, paid employees, that were inserted inside the major national news media centers." "And most of them ended up being a so-called," ""National Security reporters."" "The man turned to me..." "And this is a board member of Time Life and said," ""Doctor Greer," ""we basically are scribes," ""taking dictation" ""from the right hand" ""of the king." ""The fourth estate is dead."" "I know reporters for Time Magazine who've told me specifically that they've provided the stories and their editors have spiked them." "Yeah, the high level producer and directors..." "Yeah." "Cash." "Yeah, they pay." "What you do is you make 'em sign a form and you tell 'em," ""You gotta report this to IRS."" "But, whether they do it or not you..." "You're not going to give your form to IRS." "I paid..." "I paid, uh..." "No, I better not say." "There were..." "Some of them were large." "If you, Miss Maclaine, know of any proof about aliens, you can give it to me and I guarantee you I will get it out, but I am skeptical." "Based upon my experience representing NBC, and representing the New York Times," "I know that they will refuse to publish information, which in my judgment, is clearly important information for the public to know." "The corruption of the media means that you have then undermined democracy." "And our basic constitutional protections." "Because, if you control the information flow through the elite media, and the only place where you can get this information is through the tabloids, where they want it because it's discredited there." "Or on the Internet where there's so much false information that's mixed in with the real information, that you don't know what to make of it." "There creates this complete confusion." "When you go to a super market check-out, and you look at the tabloids, what you may be reading there are actual stories of actual events." "But when it's portrayed through the tabloids, it gets discredited." "And they're ridiculed, and their careers are destroyed, uh, pursuant to a very specific self conscious official program." "Now this has worked for 50 years." "Why would they change it now?" "This is the technique they've used." ""It is time for the truth to be brought out." ""Behind the scenes" ""high ranking Air Force officers" ""are soberly concerned about the UFOs." ""But through official secrecy and ridicule," ""many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects" ""are nonsense." ""I urge immediate congressional action" ""to reduce the dangers from secrecy" ""about unidentified flying objects."" "CIA Director, Vice Admiral," "Roscoe Hillenkoetter." "And so, we're sort of living in a Truman Show boat." "Everyone thinks we have a free press, we don't." "We have a democratic process, where all these sort of sensitive issues will be handled legally, we do not." "And that we have an uncorrupted scientific establishment, which we do not and which we will prove." "The structure of secrecy extends to the scientific and academic arenas." "Where a deliberate effort to spread disinformation has been going on for decades." "From professional debunker's, to CIA funded committees, our trusted academics, and scientists had been complicit in the secrecy." "A lot of people see something." "And a lot of people see things that they really can't identify, but that doesn't mean that they were..." "It's quite a leap." "I believe that people report seeing things they cannot identify." "But, I, after spending 25 years I found not a shred of evidence that we have alien visitors in our skies." "Look, look, this would be the greatest discovery in the history of science." "NASA would be elated, of course." "They'd go to Congress and get more funding." "Why would anybody..." "Let's do this other little thought experiment, everybody." "Are you gonna do this with baking soda and vinegar, Bill?" "In 1952, project Blue Book, was launched by the US Air Force to allay fears from the public of the ET activity." "And to assure them that they were doing everything in their power to look into this." "I am here to discuss the so-called flying saucers." "The Air Force interest in this problem is then due to our feeling of an obligation to identify, and analyze to the best of our ability anything in the air that may have the possibility of threat or menace to the United States." "There's been a decision made within the National security state infrastructure." "They ridicule, and dismiss cases that they know positively are cases of genuine sightings of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings." "That's perfectly clear." "Project Blue Book was headed up by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a professor of physics and astronomy in Ohio State University." "And Hynek eventually came clean, and said we were there to debunk these cases not to get to the truth and tell the public." "And I know..." "The... the job they had." "Uh, they were told "Not to excite the public."" "Uh, "Don't rock the boat."" "And I saw it in my own eyes happen that..." "Whenever a case happened that they could explain which is quite a few, they made point of that and then let that out to the media." "Cases that were very difficult to explain, they would jump the handsprings to keep the media away from it." "They had a job to do." "To keep the public from getting excited." "However, there have been a certain percentage of this volume of reports that have been made by credible observers of relatively incredible things." "It is this group of observations that we now are attempting to resolve." "In response to Project Blue Book, an academic committee was formed in 1953 called the Robertson panel." "Comprised of some of the most respected physicists and astronomers of the day, the Robertson panel was tasked with providing a fair and independent academic analysis of the UFO case files." "And in this document it says point blank, that the people who are on this committee are answering and working with the CIA, but that can't be disclosed." "And these are esteemed scientists in academic university settings." "It says point blank." "When there's a very strong piece of evidence, we need to set up something so we release certain type of balloons, and film it so that it will look like that, to sort of debunk it." "And we need to engage astronomers and amateur astronomers, and set up a sighting situation where we show them some evidence, and then show them how it's debunked." "Fast forward to 1968." "The Condon committee was formed." "Led by Dr. Edward Condon, a professor of physics at The University of Colorado." "Now, ostensibly, this was an objective scientist, who was heading up a committee, to tell the truth," ""Cause I'm a scientist."" "These guys are scientists, second." "They're humans first." "And it says, "It cannot be allowed to be known," ""that Dr. Condon et al" ""are actually working with the CIA" ""for these psychological warfare and spin factors."" "I concluded that this was not an objective study." "So, I wrote a letter to Condon, and he was so furious at that, that he called up James S. McDonnell who was at that time the chairman of the newly merged" "Douglas and McDonnell aircraft companies, and tried to get me fired." "This is in these documents, it is." "This is not a theoretical case." "This is why I say," ""You form a committee" ""when you want to kill something."" ""I must admit" ""that any favorable mention of" ""the flying saucers by a scientist" ""amounts to extreme heresy" ""and places the one making the statement" ""in danger of excommunication by the scientific theocracy."" "Frank B. Salisbury, Ph.D." "And from the very first meeting I had what the Director of Central Intelligence," "I didn't need to convince him that the UFOs were real." "I mean, in fact I pulled out all this dis-positive evidence that Carl Sagan would want to see." "And he said, "I already know this is real." ""But I want to know why I, the CIA director, James Woolsey, and the President of the United States, aren't being told anything about it."" "The "why" is always the hardest question to ask, and nobody asks it." "And I began to explain to him, what it really is, is a big technological question." "We have lost a hundred years of evolution on planet Earth." "A true lost century." "Huge progress was made in the 1920s as Nikola Tesla developed energy-generation technologies that could power the Earth, drawing endless free energy from the so-called "empty space" around us." "So called "empty space" isn't really empty at all." "It's actually full of energy." "So instead of being like kind of a quiet empty lake it's more like the froth at the base of the waterfall or something." "The amount of energy in a cubic meter of space time was 10 to the 26th power." "So, 10 with 26 zeros behind it joules per cubic meter." "And that's enough energy even in a coffee cup to boil all the oceans of the Earth completely away into steam." "The acronym, "Unidentified Flying Object,"" "is a deliberately obfuscating term." "And what it really is is an alternative energy and propulsion system." "They had a piece of..." "They thought was Plexiglas, a rectangular piece of Plexiglas for years before they figured out it was the energy device for the craft." "And that it was connected in such a manner that this device could power a very small watch up to a city." "Power was determined by what the demand on it was." "And so each craft had one of these." "The implications of free energy go far beyond keeping the lights on in your home, or running your car without gasoline." "Most of the costs of making anything, from growing food, to constructing a skyscraper, is the energy used to mine the raw materials out of the ground." "Ship, process, ship again." "Package, and deliver." "A free-energy society in which the cost of manufacturing and agriculture move towards zero, would mean endless abundance for everyone on Earth." "They already exist." "It's not like they even have to be invented." "You and I the taxpayers, have already paid, trillions of dollars, literally, in super secret black budget funding to develop these systems." "This is the society we could have had a century ago." "We could get rid of smog, we could get rid of pollution." "You wouldn't even need solar panels at this point." "We could change transportation in a micro second." "The way we build homes would be completely different." "The way we govern our lives would be completely different." "And all the literally hundreds of trillions of dollars in assets that are in coal, natural gas, uranium, nuclear power, public utilities, they're all obsolete." "Many people would say," ""Well, doesn't that mean the secrecy's been a good thing?"" "I say that would be like saying, we should have never come out with the automobile because the horse and buggy manufactures would have gone out of business." "Or come out with computers because royal typewriters didn't get ahead of the curve, and they went out of business." "When we go outside and we look at our cars, we look at our airplanes, we're already looking at dinosaur technology." "It's laughable where we are right now." "We should be at least a hundred years ahead of where we are right now." "And there are still files on this issue classified." "Top secret, from a hundred years ago for the same reasons, because the macro economic order of fossil fuels, petrodollar, of handful of the industrial elites and corporations would be completely transformed." "But the folks who actually call the shots in the multi-trillion dollar global economy, they don't want to see that happen." "They know that if that power was, you know, delineated to the average person, we wouldn't need them anymore." "They don't want it today, and the likes of JP Morgan and others back a 100 years ago didn't want it." "When they found out that Tesla had passed away in the hotel New Yorker, they came in, they had the manager of the hotel open the safe, and they took all of Tesla's papers." "And this was to the director of the FBI from the Department of Defense, in a turf war trying to get that information and then lock it up." "This is not a contested document." "This has been officially released." "A century of artificial scarcity has produced a destabilized, dehumanized, war-torn world where the power and wealth have been transferred from the many to the hands of the few." "If you take that on, you're going to run into the mother of all buzz saws in terms of the national security state." "Some of the breakthroughs in the past have been deliberately suppressed." "There are 5,135, I believe it is, patents, that have been confiscated under national security seizures." "Now these are just the patents." "And this is what happened to a lot of the huge breakthrough technologies like Stan Meyer, who had a car running on water." "A local inventor has discovered a way, hear this, to use water to run your car." "It's a major breakthrough that will no doubt make motorists happy." "And as Ralph Robinson explains the Pentagon is also showing lots of interest in this project." "Other people don't realize that Stan Meyer had a toiretto, a donut-shaped object that put out many times more energy than you had to put into it because it was tapping into this zero point quantum vacuum energy field." "That had a national security uproar on it before he even got it to patent." "It was seized and shut down." "What we really had was a threat to the scientific establishment." "I view this as the greatest strategic threat to survival of the United States, and in fact of civilization itself." "Who's gonna stop this from happening?" "The President doesn't know it's occurring." "The Congress oversight committees have no idea what's going on." "And you have these people who are in the deep National Security state who basically do what they want." "The problem is, most of these inventors think that the world's gonna be the path to the door." "Unfortunately, Murder Incorporated beats a path to their door first." "But free energy technology was only one half of the equation when it came to advanced extraterrestrial technology." "Early research into anti-gravity technology gained momentum in the 1940s as Adolf Hitler poured tremendous resources into developing his secret weapon." "The so-called Flying Bell." "Once we acquired these technologies, they were augmented with the study of retrieved extraterrestrial craft, and we created our own fleet of so-called Alien Reproduction vehicles." "This is where Bell Labs was involved, this is where General Electric was involved." "This is where a number of high-tech companies gained their knowledge." "Lockheed Martin, Skunk works, and EGG, Raytheon, and E-systems, and Mitre Corporation, and Booz Allen Hamilton, and on, and on, and on..." "I know many people who worked in these programs." ""We have things flying in a Nevada desert" ""that are 50 years beyond what you could comprehend." ""If you've seen it on Star Wars or Star Trek," ""we've been there, done that, or decided it wasn't worth the effort."" "So that's coming from Ben Rich." "Ben Rich, head of the Skunk Works between 1975 and 1991." "This is the original letter from Ben Rich on Lockheed Advanced Aeronautics Company letterhead." ""I'm a believer, and so is Kelly Johnson."" "And here it says, "Dear Ben," ""there are two categories, A. Man-made UFOs," ""B. Extraterrestrial UFOs."" ""Dear John, yes, I'm a believer in both categories." ""I feel everything is possible." ""Many of our man-made UFOs were unfunded opportunities." ""In both categories, there are lots of kooks and charlatans, be cautious." ""Ben Rich."" ""We now have the technology" ""to take ET home."" "Ben Rich, CEO, Lockheed Skunk Works." "It is being covered up, but, probably not for the reasons you might think." "Within the intelligence communities they have something called..." ""Ace in the hole technologies."" "So secret they didn't even talk about it." "November 12th of 1988 was their dog and pony show, a classified military exhibit at Norton Air Force base." "And then often, a separate section of the hangar behind a curtain, which was opened up once everyone had gathered, were three of these so-called Alien Reproduction Vehicles, or ARVs." "The craft itself was hovering off the floor with no landing gear underneath it, nothing supporting it from above." "To see something travel across 12 miles of airspace in under a second and a half, make a couple of right angle turns, and not make a supersonic shock-wave of any kind, and no sonic boom, which I've personally witnessed on a number of occasions," "I mean, it just..." "It changes your whole perspective." "There were some very good folks like Secretary Forrestal, and others who wanted to bring the subject out, but in a way there would be contact that would be peaceful between humans and these civilizations." "But there were other people who saw the big goldmine of militarism, and war profiteering, and the psychological warfare value." "Their mandate, repeat, their mandate, is to lie, deny, and deceive." "There are people who've had experiences with the technology that were not able to handle it psychologically because it just..." "It defies reality." "And in this document, the CIA director Walter Smith, says, "I am today transmitting to the National Security Council" ""a proposal in which it is concluded" ""that the problems connected with" ""unidentified flying objects" ""appear to have implications for psychological warfare." ""as well as for intelligence and operations."" "But to take a step back from all the jargon and all the paranoia, and Star Wars movies for just a minute, and realize that it's very easy to set up a false flag operation." "A false flag operation also know as a false indication, and warning is a military tactic in which you create the illusion of a threat often by attacking yourself and blaming the desired enemy." "It's proven extremely effective at uniting the public around a perceived threat." "And this is actually a well-known concept in military intelligence circles." "We did in in the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, where we exaggerated if not completely staged an attack on our naval vessels so we would stampede" "President Johnson and the Congress into vastly expanding the Vietnam conflict to benefit, guess who, the military industrial complex and the war profiteers." "US military officials, for example, have planned a project called operation North Woods back in 1962 to dress up Cuban refugees in Cuban military uniforms had them attack Guantanamo Bay so they could kill US military personnel, sink US military ships," "and blow up shopping centers in Miami." "Targeting, killing refugees from Cuba to infuriate the American population so that they can invade and occupy Cuba." "It's astonishing that anybody would dare to make a recommendation like that, but they did." "Then you can look at Iraq." "Concocted all kinds of false information about weapons of mass destruction which Saddam Hussein did not have, and it was known in intelligence circles he didn't have." "Fracture that whole part of the world, and now we have ISIS." "So, we have to realize the machinations, the manipulations that go on behind the scenes leave us very vulnerable." "And the big one is this one where they could say, "Oh, yes, the UFOs are real."" ""But guess what, they're a threat and we need to unite the world."" "Like Will Smith said in the original Independence Day." "Something you want to add to this briefing, Captain Hiller?" "No, sir." "I'm just a little anxious to get up there and whoop ET's ass, that's all." "Efforts on the part of a certain element within the kind of ruling structures of our planet to try to utilize the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence as an ultimate threat, the ultimate other bad guys to justify the national security state dream" "of locking down and putting under complete control of an authoritarian ruling class that control the planet and the resources." ""The nations of the world will have to unite," ""for the next war will be an interplanetary war." ""The nations of the Earth must someday make a common front" ""against attack by people from other planets."" "General Douglas Macarthur." "Can you realize that we, that you and I, that all of us have actually begun the exploration of another world?" "We have taken the first historic step into our solar system." "I'm Wernher Von Braun." "Wernher Von Braun was one of the top scientists brought to the US from Germany after World War II as part of Operation Paperclip." "He invented the V II rocket for Adolf Hitler, and became the chief architect for the Saturn V rocket for NASA's Apollo moon missions." "In his deathbed confession, Von Braun warned of a plot to pull off the ultimate false flag using back-engineered alien reproduction vehicles to stage an invasion from outer space." "When Von Braun was dying in front of me, the very first day that I met him." "He had tubes draining out of his side, and he was tapping on the desk telling me, "You will come to Fairchild."" "I was a school teacher." ""You will come to Fairchild," ""and you will be responsible for keeping weapons out of space."" "The strategy that Wernher Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians were the enemy against whom we were going to build space-based weapons." "Then terrorists would be identified, then we were going to identify third-world country crazies." ""The last card, is the alien card and all of it." " He said, is a lie."" ""A lie."" "Yes." "Um..." "That's pretty cla..." "That's pretty, hush..." "I don't think I should talk about that." "That is, uh..." "Yeah, that's very sensitive." "Yeah, that's very sensitive." "Yeah." "I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world." "Well, the only problem with that is that if you look at the technologies that permit for interplanetary interstellar travel, it's a thousand times more developed than a hydrogen bomb." "Which, if we were to have a massive exchange of nuclear weapons would leave most of our life on Earth extinguished." "Therefore, how could we possibly have armed conflict with another planetary system for more than a nanosecond, and survive it?" "They know that we couldn't." "But it's a way of manipulating the public through demagoguery of fear, jingoism, false nationalism, and creating a bogeyman out in space." "Were you surprised when your daughter enlisted?" "Not at all." "She's a born leader." "I know I've been taking orders from her since she was five years old." "So you don't worry about her?" "Of course, I worry about her." "I fought in the war in '96, I know what those things are capable of." "But I know what my daughter is capable of." "And I know this planet is safer because she's defending it." "They could pull it off." "They could definitely pull it off." "Right now they have the technologies to mimic the form, fit, and function of extraterrestrial UFOs." "They have the technology, absolutely." "It's seamless and you can never tell the difference." "If they do have a false flag invasion they're gonna use one of these." "This is the Hudson Valley boomerang." "This is 1982 to 1989." "Over 25,000 eyewitnesses reported this craft." "They can use the saucers, the cigars, the pyramids, the triangles, as a united coalition." "And that's how they're gonna do it." "We're talking about 150 to 172 feet across for the wingspan which is the identical wingspan of the B-2 stealth bomber." "So the question we need to ask is, was some of that $22.4 billion used on the B2 porting to this program?" "It's the exact same time frame." "When they power up, and when they accelerate it looks like a spark off a grinding wheel, and you could never know the difference." "So if they wanted to hoax an alien invasion they could do it, and they could do it in a way that's a 100% believable." "They started doing all kinds of psychological warfare entrainment of the public by staging hoaxed events." "Such as cattle mutilations," ""Oh, it's a flying saucer who did that."" "It's a covert paramilitary program, human." "So if you wanted to start indoctrinating people into a "false threat" from outer space that Wernher Von Braun warned us about, you would start staging events that look alien, but that are completely man-made that are scary" "and scare the hell out of people." "UFO encounters are categorized into four groups." "Close encounters of the fourth kind include people who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials." "If you had a close encounter of the fourth kind and you are back, we're anxious to hear from you." "Enter stage left, you got this sort of anti-gravity devices with creatures that look like ETs that are actually man-made robotic systems." "They're called programmed life-forms." "And you start doing select interfaces with the public." "We did do that, yes." "OSI did that." "There was a special group out of, uh, the 76th 2nd intel wing at Fort Belvoir that came out and did that." "They had these people that had maybe some sort of defects," "anatomical defects that were brought..." "Bought in to fool people into thinking they were aliens, yeah." "I can't give you any specifics because the program is still classified." "And they're probably still doing it." "I wouldn't doubt that they were still doing it." "So they've already got this psychological warfare already embedded into the minds of people to expect an extraterrestrial..." "Not a secret aircraft but an alien craft." "So when they do pull this they'll already have everything ready to roll." "These civilians got on to the base and got into something." "They saw something they weren't supposed to see." "And this group came out, and went into their home, and scared the Dickens out of them, and..." "Yeah, exactly." "The government will use the extraterrestrial phenomenon to cover their own deep black programs." "So that's the fight we're up against here." "And then it makes it out through the movie industry, and the UFO lure, and the Internet, what have you..." "And it starts creating the specter of a threat." "Get away from her, you bitch!" "Pardon me, eh," "Are... are you from Mars?" "The fact that you and I are still breathing the free air of Earth is abundant testimony to their restraint and non hostility." "Now the question is, how are these civilizations viewing us?" "Are they perceiving human civilization as a threat?" "And the answer is, yes." "Because I believe we've reached the point where we're a threat not only to our planet and each other, but we're also developing weapons systems that are potentially a threat in space." "And I just hope that, uh, it's not like Independence Day." "Yeah, right!" "That it's, uh, you know..." "A conflict." "Well, now we have friends." "It may be the only way to unite us in this incredibly divided world of ours." "They're out there." "We've had our..." "Think of how all the differences among people on Earth would seem small if we felt threatened by a space invader." "That's the whole theory of Independence Day." "You're right." "Everybody gets together and makes nice, and, you know..." "You and Bill O'Reilly would be hiding in a bunker together." "Yeah." "The most dangerous thing going on in the planet today isn't ISIS." "It's not Iraq." "It's not Russia." "It's not China." "It's a out of control covert group that is not being overseen by the people, the Congress, or the President who have developed these technologies and are recklessly using them to track and target extraterrestrial vehicles." "The result of this is that we're in a crisis that is unacknowledged, ironically." "Because these projects are unacknowledged." "What do you do?" "Do you talk to your Congressman?" "Do you write your senator?" "Do you march on the White House lawn?" "What good is that gonna do if the people who run this government don't have access to the programs?" "They're not cleared for it." "So..." "That's just not the direction to go." "We better not get this one wrong." "Because this could be a threat to all life on Earth if we are reckless with this issue." "We need wise elders that are humans in dealing with this situation." "And the sociopaths that are in control of those programs can't be allowed to speak for planet Earth." "And for humanity." "Wresting power from the hands of these powerful oligarchs and corporations is going to require a revolution." "One of the more hopeful events that happened over the last decade was what I called "The French Initiative."" "I get a letter from the Ministry of Defense, and it's dated 16th of January 2007." "Urgent." "And it's signed by Admiral Pierre Moran." "And he was in charge of providing briefings on this issue for then President of the French Republic," "Sarkozy." "They learned protocols to make contact with these civilizations for peaceful engagement." "So here you have a major country, a nuclear power, making a commitment to do this." "And we eventually go to France and under the cover of a posse public event." "The admiral and his assistants are there." "And we do the protocols for contact." "And they track ET craft coming in overhead at 200,000 kilometers an hour." "But what it shows is that governments around the world can actually do a lot if they wanted to to break the mold of secrecy and do something helpful." "And this is the proof that that's happened with a major country." "This is arguably the most important UFO document in history." "The irony of it is I couldn't disclose it for quite a while until that president Sarkozy was out of office, and these folks were not in harm's way." "There was an invitation extended from the Vatican to some 40 world scientists to come to Castel Gandolfo outside of Rome where the pontifical observatory is." "And they spent a week briefing the highest level members of the Vatican." "They came out with an official press statement." "Extraterrestrial life is going to be discovered much sooner than anybody had previously expected." "And for this reason, the time has now arrived for the beginning of a very serious discussion about the philosophical and theological questions that are posed to our human family by the discovery of extraterrestrial life." "There are civilizations that we need to communicate with." "And I think we've reached that point in our evolution as a human race and we need to recognize that and..." "The thing that disturbs me is that the US is going to be a third-world nation in that field if we're not careful." "By having all the secrecy and refusing to set up any kind of diplomatic protocols as I know that you have called for and I believe in very strongly." "The biggest event in the history of humankind is the discovery that we are not alone." "But there are other living entities, intelligent entities, in this universe or other universes and that we aren't here alone." "That's a huge enormous discovery." "I think it's long past time to open this up to the public." "Give this information to the young people of the world and in this country." "They want to hear it." "They want it." "Give it to them." "Don't hide it, and tell lies, and make stories." "They're not stupid." "They're not young men that'll panic." "UFOs are as real as the planes flying over your head." "And it is time that the United States government started coming clean on what it's all about, because they're very important military and..." "And economic issues that have to be addressed, and..." "How can you address a question which, uh, relates to a subject that people don't even..." "Won't admit that it exists." "And it's a mission that we as the baby boomer generation pass on to you." "Humanity is at a crossroads." "A choice between endless war, war in space, growing poverty, and environmental destruction, or a future where we explore the stars, live in peace with each other and our planetary neighbors." "The technology is there." "The solutions to Earth's urgent and long-term potential problems are there." "The technologies will change the macro economic system." "Because, visualize for a moment, you're at your home all your power needs are being provided from one of these zero point or quantum vacuum energy systems, your car is running, never has to be plugged in." "You then can have agriculture and manufacturing locally that has very little cost to it." "And this is not just in the US, but in places that aren't yet developed, so-called third world or developing world." "They're going to leapfrog right over the smokestack industries, and go to high-tech, real high-tech, just like they've skipped over telephone lines and gone to the smart phones." "This will be a tide that will lift all ships." "The world will be increasingly interconnected." "And yet on the local level, be completely self sufficient." "Every village, every home." "And this is something that is at the biggest change economically in the history of the human race." "It's a big nut to crack." "But I think that if you could do that," "I think that people would stop looking at each other with a certain level of hostility, like, we do now." "I guess it's kinda corny but it's that bright future that I see that we could all attain if just a few things could be changed." "Imagine interplanetary trade, how exciting that would be?" "You have to adjust your cosmology, you have to adjust your whole concept of arguing species being at the apex of all biological evolution in the universe." "And you also have to cross-modify your judgment that the entire universe was created just as the stage upon which the drama of the human development is unfolding." "I think there's a lot more going on in the universe than just that." "And this is why it's time for the people to lead the whole ending of the secrecy and do the disclosure." "As we the human family confront the reality of extraterrestrial life, it is perhaps worthwhile to reflect." "Was our doubt really due to a lack of evidence?" "Or merely a lack of imagination?" "When it comes to Area 51, and..." "Whether or not the US government knows of aliens should secretary Clinton be like the president?" "Well, I've talked to the secretary about it, and what she said now in public, is that if she's elected president and she gets into office she'll ask for as many records as the United States federal government has" "to be declassified." "And I think that's a commitment that she intends to keep, and that I intend to hold her to." "Have you seen any of these documents?" "You were the White House Chief of staff years ago." "You know, President Clinton asked for some information about some of these things, and in particular some information about what was going on at Area 51." "But, I think that the US government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what's going on with unidentified aerial phenomena." "And they should, you know..." "American people can handle the truth." "So they should just do a thorough search..." "What is the truth, is there evidence of alien life?" "You know, that's for the public to judge." "They've seen all the evidence that the government..." "What do you think personally?" "What do I think?" "I think there's a lot of planets out there."
