Starting point is 00:00:01 Mysterious Orbs of Light. Reagan says, I just saw a UFO. He's not just being crazy. He knows exactly what it is. Strange visions. George Washington sees this glowing, beautiful creature who describes the future history of the United States. And glowing humanoid figures,
Starting point is 00:00:26 all reported by presidents of the United States. We have an extraordinary series of stories, president after president after president, being associated with a sighting. For decades, the White House has denied having any knowledge of alien craft visiting Earth. Even discussing UFOs tends to be viewed as a career ender. But is it possible that extraterrestrials have been monitoring and even influencing American presidents? It's really hard for people to wrap their heads around the fact that there was all this E.T. contact going on. There's a line, you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promise of truth.
Starting point is 00:01:19 It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. The evidence is all around us. The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone. Osaka, Japan, July 1st, 2019. In a wide-ranging interview, Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson asks President Donald Trump his thoughts about UFOs.
Starting point is 00:01:55 You gave an interview the day in which you said you've been briefed on unidentified flying objects. Are they real? Personally, I tend to doubt it. We have had people saying that they've seen things. I don't assume it's correct, But, you know, I have an open mind, Tucker. To UFO experts, the president's response raises a key question.
Starting point is 00:02:16 If U.S. intelligence officials have secret knowledge of alien visitations, are American presidents informed or kept in the dark? In August 2019, former British Ministry of Defense UFO investigator, Nick Pope, posed this question to Tucker Carlson. Do you think he knows more than he's letting on, do you think, as some people say, even the president doesn't know? My impression was that the president does know more than he said. Once in office, every president has become mum on the subject.
Starting point is 00:02:52 And what it tells you is, they likely know something that they've decided to keep from the public. Look, I don't know what they know. And so perhaps they have a good reason to lie to the public about it. But I doubt it. Months later, as the 2020 election year begins to heat up, several of Donald Trump's presidential challengers, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Bernie Sanders,
Starting point is 00:03:18 are asked by New Hampshire-based reporter Damon Steer of the Conway Daily Sun about where he or she stands on the issue of UFOs and government disclosure. It's very unlikely that we're alone in the universe. One of the things that president could do is to look into, What's there in terms of what does the science say? What is our military say? Of course we have to explore that and look at that.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Airframe is true. Many people would be surprised to discover that 36% of all U.S. presidents have had encounters with unidentified or unexplained UFO phenomena. This, according to a recent poll, is a full 20 points higher than the number of similar encounters experienced by average Americans. We have an extraordinary series of stories. President after President after President, either seeing a UFO, commenting on a UFO,
Starting point is 00:04:18 being associated with a sighting. Martin Morgan is the author of The Americans on D-Day. It's not something that just flashed in American culture briefly. We could date it back to 1800. We can date it earlier than that. This is not a new phenomenon. Presidents throughout history have been encountering this during almost the entire history of the American nation. Could aliens be trying to steer the destiny of America by influencing its presidents?
Starting point is 00:04:51 Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the very first presidential encounter on record. Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Winter, 1777. Amid freezing conditions, epidemic disease, and shortages of food, clothing, and supplies, General George Washington's Continental Army faces possible destruction. In late 1777, George Washington was kind of at his lowest point. The Continental Army had been driven out of the National Capitol of Philadelphia to a winter encampment at Valley Forge. There was an optimism that they would eventually be able to push the British. of Philadelphia, but that optimism was dim and bleak in December 1777 at Valley Forge.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Years later, an aide to General Washington revealed what happened next. Bill Burns, PhD, is the author of UFOs in the White House. Washington went out into the woods at Valley Forge to pray, and he saw this image of this spirit, garbed in white, white that assured him you will win this war and the spirit laid out for Washington the history of what would be the United States of America. David Childress is the author of Technology of the Gods. After this meeting Washington was was invigorated. He was inspired. And he realized this is divine fate for the United States to exist. But he first had to defeat
Starting point is 00:06:31 the British, which he did. Could George Washington really have had an otherworldly visitation at Valley Forge? If so, he isn't the only founding father associated with an alien encounter. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson filed one of the country's first official UFO reports after astronomer William Dunbar told him about an unexplained aerial sighting at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In his report, Jefferson wrote a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of. a fast-moving luminous object about 70 to 80 feet long that flew by at about 200 yards above the ground. After it disappeared over the horizon, the witnesses heard a tremendous impact in a nearby forest.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Upon investigating, they found a crash site where everything had been burned and scorched. Thomas Jefferson, when he was vice president, wrote up an official report of a UFO sighting that had had happened in Baton Rouge. He wrote it up for the American Philosophical Association. So that arguably is the first case where someone who would go on to be president made an official UFO report. The American Philosophical Society was founded by Benjamin Franklin, who, like Thomas Jefferson, openly expressed his belief in the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Starting point is 00:08:00 The Founding Father's World view accommodated the idea that there would be people in other worlds. And that was principled upon this idea that you cannot limit God's creativity just to the world that you observe. They literally had a vision of not just the world where we live, but the world beyond it. And that that world beyond theirs was populated by extraterrestrials. Could the founding fathers have been aware of an other worldly presence that was helping to ensure the success of the American experiment. Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that so too was the man who took office at another crucial moment in the nation's history. Abraham Lincoln on April 14th 1865 just hours before he would be assassinated
Starting point is 00:08:54 President Lincoln made a shocking admission to General Ulysses S. Grant. William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist. Lincoln met with Grant, who was awaiting news from General Sherman about a battle in North Carolina. And Lincoln assured General Grant that news would come and it would be positive. And Lincoln told him that on the eve of every great battle, Antietam, Gettysburg, Bull Run, he had the same dream. He was in some kind of indescribable vessel that he was sailing at a very rapid pace. and that this in fact led him to understand that this would be a positive outcome for the Union forces and lead to the doom of the Confederacy.
Starting point is 00:09:39 It's almost as if at these pivotal turning points in human history. The president is shown how the United States will ultimately triumph. It's a sort of galactic manifest destiny. For many, UFO sightings and strange encounters reported by U.F.O.S. sightings and strange encounters reported by U.S. U.S. presidents may seem like little more than frivolous trivia. But could such events indicate that there is an unseen hand guiding the course of the nation? And if so, where is it leading us? Oyster Bay, Long Island, August 1, 1907. At the estate of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, a giant orb of light is witnessed by dozens of neighbors hovering in the sky
Starting point is 00:10:33 for nearly two hours. In 1907, there was a spectacular UFO sighting over Sagmore Hill, one of the residences of President Teddy Roosevelt. Now, Roosevelt at the time was working on a critically important speech. In this speech, he would set out a strategic vision for the United States to develop a truly modern navy that would propel the United States into the position of a global superpower. As a part of his vision, Roosevelt wanted to develop Pearl Harbor. It could be said that, were it not for Roosevelt realizing that vision for the future of the nation,
Starting point is 00:11:18 that American intervention in the First World War, might not have been as significant as it was. So, were the UFOs with the strange lights over Sagamore Hill? At the same time, Theodore Roosevelt was coming up with this vision of a world consortium of nations, are they somehow linked? Researchers find this incident compelling, not only because it is connected with the U.S. president at a critical moment in history, but also because reports of UFO sightings were incredibly rare at the beginning of the 20th century. After World War II, however, this was no longer the case.
Starting point is 00:12:01 And it happened under the watch of the country's 33rd president, Harry S. Truman. Larry Holcomb is the author of The Presidents and UFOs. The Truman administration was really the golden years of flying saucers, as they were known then. You had Kenneth Arnold sighting. You had Roswell. But then the great incident was the Great Washington Mary-Go Round, where in two weekends in July, 1952, Washington, D.C. was overrun with strange objects that were tracked by the radar at National Airport and radar at Andrews Air Force Base. This is David Brinkley in the Roald.
Starting point is 00:12:51 radar room at Washington National Airport. On these radar screens last Saturday, they saw something strange and unusual and at the moment unexplainable. It was not an airplane. It was not a cloud. Nobody knows what it was. The second weekend, jets were scrambled. And one pilot called and said, what should I do?
Starting point is 00:13:16 Meaning should I fire on them? the strange objects all of a sudden backed off and disappeared. When President Truman was questioned about UFO incidents like the Washington, D.C. sightings, he remarkably did not deny the possibility of flying saucers. Oh, yes, we discussed it at every conference that we had with the military, and they never were able to make me a concrete report on it. There's always things like that going on, flying saucers. Many researchers point out that it was at this point in history,
Starting point is 00:13:53 the dawn of the Cold War, that Truman established a policy of government secrecy that has come to be known as the National Security State. President Truman really sends us down the path to the modern security state with the National Security Act in 1947. It created the National Security Council, and it created the Central Intelligence Agency. Truman is responding to what is now the oncoming Cold War, this new conflict that will dominate our global politics for the next five decades.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Whatever Truman's motivation for drastically increasing government secrecy, the topic of UFOs was caught in the web. Stephen Bassett is the executive director of Paradigm Research Group. UFOs were something that people were experiencing. And right at the moment when it appears that that activity is going to be able to be. kind of reaching ahead, suddenly we have the creation of the modern national security state. Truman clamps down on the open discussion of such things. That's a critical moment in history. Truman made a decision that was fateful.
Starting point is 00:15:01 And had he gone a different way, it would have changed the entire 20th century. When we look at the relationship between presidents and UFOs, we can split this into two categories, the historic sightings and encounters. Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt. Say that there's almost a benign element here. It's almost as if the United States is being guided and helped. But then the development of atomic weapons seemed to be the ultimate game changer.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Palm Springs, California, February 20th, 1954. Harry Truman's successor, President Dwight D. Eisenhower is on a golfing vacation. when he fails to show up for a scheduled public dinner. The press corps is given no explanation until the president finally reappears the next day, at which time his staff announces that he had been at an emergency dentist appointment for a chipped tooth.
Starting point is 00:16:02 But curiously, Eisenhower's medical and dental records contain no reference to this dentist visit. Grant Cameron is the author of Presidents and UFOs. Eisenhower goes to Palm Springs and he actually disappears. There's no doubt about this from the presidential records. It's really an astounding story. He secreted out to this Air Force base
Starting point is 00:16:28 where he meets with aliens and he and the aliens strike up a treaty and here's the treaty. You can stay in our skies, surveil us, you can study us. In return, we want all of your technology. and we agree not to disclose your existence. Why? Because this is after the 1952 invasion of UFOs over Washington,
Starting point is 00:16:56 so there's an urgency to Eisenhower striking a treaty with them. Numerous whistleblowers later came forward, claiming that Eisenhower met with extraterrestrial beings, not just once, but three times. And many who have researched these events, including Eisenhower, Eisenhower's own great-granddaughter are convinced a treaty was actually signed. Laura Eisenhower is the great-granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. I just feel like I was just born into this family to be the one willing to tackle it, willing to give it a voice, willing to kind of disseminate it. And I know it's really hard for people to wrap their heads around the fact that during Eisenhower's administration, there was all this contact going on.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And it's gotten to the point where there's so much information about it that it really can't be denounced. Is it possible that after World War II and humankind's development of atomic weapons, alien visitors communicated directly with officials within the United States government, perhaps even Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower. Uphologists say yes, and suggest further evidence of communication between extraterrestrials and the White House can be found by examining a strange incident that involved President Richard Nixon and an alien body. Latterhill, Florida, January, 1973.
Starting point is 00:18:29 37th President of the United States, Richard Nixon, is entering his fifth year in office, mired in a seemingly never-ending military conflict in Southeast Asia. Richard Nixon was under a great deal of pressure by 1973. He was heralded into office with the recognition that he would be our savior from Vietnam. He gets into office, basically promising the American people that I'm going to get you out of that. But I do promise action. A new policy for peace abroad. A new policy for peace and progress and justice at home. And then what does he do when he gets into office? He expands the military mission in Vietnam. To escape the daily rigors of his tumultuous presidency, Nixon schedules a
Starting point is 00:19:14 golf outing with his friend Jackie Gleason, the famous actor and comedian who starred in the 1950s hit TV series, The Honeymooners. Nixon and Jackie Gleason, they were very good friends and frequently played golf together in Florida, usually. And Nixon knew that Jackie Gleason was known to be a very big UFO buff. He had probably one of the largest libraries on the subject in the world at that time. His house was designed to look like a UFO and same with his guest house. was always asking, you know, Nixon questions, and Nixon disclosed a lot to him.
Starting point is 00:19:53 According to an article written by Beverly Gleason, who was Jackie Gleason's wife at the time, the actor's golf outing with the president led to an extraordinary experience. Hours after Gleeson returned home, a limousine arrived unannounced. Who's in the car? It's President Richard Nixon. And by the way, there's no secret service. He tells Gleason to climb in, this is your dream. They drive to an Air Force base in Florida. And what does Nixon show Gleeson? He shows him alien artifacts, pieces of a UFO, and a dead alien in cold storage.
Starting point is 00:20:39 When he got home, he told his wife all about it, what he had seen, and how Nixon had taken him there, and he told other people. I actually got the interview with Beverly Gleason. We actually interviewed her. She stayed to the story. Jackie was very shaken up when he came home after this thing, and it was very angry when she made public the fact that he had seen these bodies. This is extremely important because it indicates that almost certainly Nixon was fully briefed on the ET issue.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And if the president wants to go see an ET body, by God, he's going to get to see one. And if he's got Jackie Gleason with him, fine. When his ex-wife's story was published in 1983, 67-year-old Gleason remained silent about it. So too did Nixon. Is it possible that the incredible story is true? UFO historians suggest that Nixon's actions led to a clampdown on the information shared with future presidents.
Starting point is 00:21:42 and what they were allowed to say publicly. Leary, Georgia, October, 1969. Attendees of a local Lions Club meeting spot a mysterious object hovering in the night sky. Among the witnesses is future president of the United States, Jimmy Carter. At the time, Jimmy Carter was standing outside with a group of men, And they saw a great orb in the sky, something very unusual, the changed color from orange to a bluish color and back again and grew in size.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Nearly four years later, Carter remained so intrigued by what he witnessed that he filed an official report with the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena, or Nycap. Jimmy Carter, when he was running for president, he had made the promise, if I become president, I will release all the files. What happened? He was elected president, and then he walked it back. And he said, well, maybe there are some UFO sightings that have national security implications, and perhaps not everything can be released. The question is, what role have presidents played in maintaining this truth and border? authorizing it and so forth. Well, that's somewhat dependent upon whether they were briefed or not.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Truman was briefed on everything that happened in Roswell and anything else, E.T. related. Eisenhower, absolutely, would have been briefed in full. Kennedy, maybe not. Nixon, we think, was briefed. Carter, Stonewalled, and so forth. One of the stories that's been flowed around the UFO community is that the Democrats don't get a proper briefing because they don't have the connection to the military,
Starting point is 00:23:38 the way the Republicans, the Republicans no more. So the story's always been like, Jimmy Carter didn't get told anything, Bill Clinton didn't get told anything, but Ford, Reagan, and Bush all knew what was going on. Is it possible that there is a party bias when it comes to what an incoming president is told about the UFO phenomenon?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Or could Jimmy Carter have been denied access to government UFO files because he had promised to release them to the public during his campaign? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining what happened to a presidential candidate after he admitted to his own UFO sighting. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 31, 2007. During the Democratic primary debate at Drexel University, moderator Tim Russert,
Starting point is 00:24:32 turns and addresses presidential candidate Dennis Kucenich. Congressman Kucinich, a serious question. Shirley MacLean writes in her new book that you cited a UFO over her home in Washington State, that you found the encounter extremely moving, that it was a triangular craft. Now, did you see a UFO? I did, and the rest of the account, it was unidentified flying object, okay? It's like it's not identified. I saw something now.
Starting point is 00:25:04 And also, you have to keep in mind that more that Jimmy Carter saw. a UFO, and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs and, I think, approve of George Bush's presidency. The debate moment made national headlines. Many political commentators speculated that this admission damaged his campaign. John Podesta is a former White House chief of staff. I think for most people, it's been the notion that you are even discussing UFOs tends to be viewed as a career ender. You know, people think you're a little bit wacky if you're taking the phenomena seriously. But just what did Dennis Kucenich experience?
Starting point is 00:25:50 Seattle, Washington, February 2020. Former British Ministry of Defense UFO investigator, Nick Pope, has arranged to meet with Dennis Kucenich at the location of his 1982 UFO encounter. The former home of Academy Award-winning actress, Shirley MacLean. The home, which has since been sold, overlooks Mount Rainier, the site of the infamous Kenneth Arnold Flying Saucer incident that ignited the UFO craze in 1947. The current owner agreed to allow Nick and Dennis to take a look around.
Starting point is 00:26:28 What a fabulous view. Oh, look, there's nothing like this. This is, of course, the location where you had your UFO sighting. Can you tell me about it? Well, Nick, I was seated at a dinner table with myself and two friends, and I noticed a light in the distance came from the hill directly over the house. Come on, let me show you, okay? Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Wow. So I was standing out here. The scope was here. I brought it up here so that I could get a look at the light. And when I looked at it, I saw it wasn't just one light. It was a series of lights, like a grid. One stacked on another. I went back and I looked.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And then I saw something that was extraordinary. I said, the lights were separating. They were definitely moving in this direction. So at that point, came right to the edge here, and I looked out into the hills to watch, what proved to be, three crafts moving in this direction. Just to be clear, first seen over there to directly over the house. Right, right in the hills, in the distance,
Starting point is 00:27:35 and then in a straight line. That straight line would just go. So right overhead here, and then above the house, and then quickly accelerating out of sight. Just like that, gone. And that was the lost you saw it. Oh, yeah. The next day, Kusenich described the experience to Shirley McLean. He would say nothing more about it for 26 years.
Starting point is 00:28:02 And then, when running for the Democratic nomination in 2008, his private UFO sighting would become a public event, affecting presidential politics in a most unexpected way. When the question was asked, I think there was mention of feeling almost an emotional connection and not that it spoke to you, I mean, not in a literal sense, but feelings. I don't know that I ever communicated that to anyone, but I will tell you this, that it was extraordinary, it's exciting. How could it not be? I mean, anybody who would see anything like that, would have to be excited than was I? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:44 After the debate, commentators like Chris Matthews questioned whether Kucenich's admission had, in effect, disqualified him from the presidential race. But he was surprised by the reaction of another candidate, New Mexico governor, Bill Richardson.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Is that disqualifying for a presidential candidate to say you've seen UFOs? You know, I've never seen one. You know, Roswell, New York. New Mexico is the hotbed of UFOs, and I promote Roswell as a tourism issue. The federal government has not come clean on all that issue, and it should, but no, I've never seen what's incredible... Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Stop the music! Stop the music government. Did you say the United States government is covering up a history of a UFO setting in your state? You said the government hasn't trimmed this up yet. What are they hiding that you say about a UFO? Oh, they haven't. Well, they don't produce documents, Chris.
Starting point is 00:29:39 They should just get it up. all out. And there's a known history about this. What is a conspiracy? What is your belief that they're hiding? If they released all documents, look, I don't believe they're UFOs, but the government has not handled this well over the years. That's a historical fact. Three months after Cusenich's admission, he withdrew from the Democratic race. But he remains committed to a policy of disclosure. Information ought to be open for people to see so we know what our government's actually about. Let the people know, let the people know what's going on with unexplained aerial phenomenon. If extraterrestrials have been monitoring and perhaps guiding the course of the United States since the time of George Washington,
Starting point is 00:30:22 where is it all leading? Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the president who was most vocal when it came to speculating about an alien invasion. Ronald Reagan Merced, California September 19th, 1974 California Governor Ronald Reagan, along with his security detail,
Starting point is 00:30:49 boards a Cessna aircraft bound for a fundraising event in Bakersfield. As the aircraft reaches an altitude of 35,000 feet, Governor Reagan is startled by a mysterious orb of light, which appears to be flying alongside his plane. Ronald Reagan was flying in an airplane
Starting point is 00:31:09 and had an encounter with an unidentified flying object. He asked the pilot to follow it. They followed it for a period of time. Reagan is enthusiastic about this. When he lands, he says, I just saw a UFO. He's not just being crazy. He saw the UFO.
Starting point is 00:31:31 He knows exactly what it is. The pilot that is corroborated Reagan's sighting was Air Force Colonel Bill Painter, who claimed that the UFO appeared to elongate and then rapidly shoot up into the sky. Some years later, the pilot was asked, did he really think that Reagan believed in UFOs? And the pilot said, after what we saw in the sky that night, how could anybody not believe in them? According to historians, it was this incident that sparked Ronald Reagan's lifelong interest and belief in UFOs.
Starting point is 00:32:12 But unlike other politicians who suffered ridicule for such beliefs, Reagan did not, and for a very simple reason. His closest aides kept him from speaking publicly about his UFO experience and his belief in extraterrestrials. The people that worked for him really tried to keep Reagan under control, so to speak, because they knew that he was very interested in this subject and wanted to talk about it publicly. So they had to kind of keep the lid on it, if you will. But did the UFO sighting influence Ronald Reagan's policies after he became the 40th president of the United States? And if so, could this have also been due to the fact that once elected, he was given even more direct knowledge of an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes. And for proof, they point to a mysterious document that surfaced in 2005. Linda Moulton Howe is an investigative journalist for Earth Files.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I became exposed to a very, very important document that March 6 to 8th, 1981, then brand new President Ronald Reagan, was taken by his new CIA Director, William Casey, to Camp David. With them were analysts from the CIA, the NSA, DIA. And this briefing boiled down to an introduction to Ronald Reagan, a extra-traveled. terrestrial species that William Casey was saying, sir, you need to understand that we are dealing with others on this planet. Curiously, throughout his presidency, Ronald Reagan brought up the subject of what would happen in the case of an alien invasion. Most famously in 1987, when addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Perhaps we need some outside universal threat to make us recognize
Starting point is 00:34:23 recognize this common bound. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? Georgio Suclos is the publisher of Legendary Times Magazine. Reagan was the first one who said publicly it just needs one extraterrestrial threat and that would bring together the entire planet. So you have to ask yourself the question, did he know something? Both in discussions with the Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev,
Starting point is 00:35:11 Reagan alluded to an alien presence. And Gorbachev says he was quite taken aback when Reagan said this to him at the critically important point of pivotal arms negotiations, and suddenly Ronald Reagan starts talking about extraterrestrials. Years later, during a symposium in New York, President Gorbachev recounted the incident. President Reagan suddenly said to me, what would you do if the United States were attacked by someone from outer space? Would you help us? I said no doubt about it. He said, we too.
Starting point is 00:36:02 So that's interesting. Is it possible that Ronald Reagan knew the truth about extraterrestrial activity on Earth? And then kept the facts a secret for fear of creating a global panic. As far as many researchers are concerned, further evidence. that President Reagan had knowledge of an alien presence can be found by examining one of his most high-profile and controversial initiatives. Star Wars. On March 23rd, 1983, U.S. President Ronald Reagan launches a Strategic Defense Initiative, nicknamed Star Wars. Its stated purpose is to deter a Soviet attack by basing defensive weapons in outer space.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I have approved a research program to find, if we can, a security shield that will destroy nuclear missiles before they reach their target. Isn't it interesting that this man who had this encounter in 1974 is the man who then, less than a decade later, authorizes the Strategic Defense Initiative, also known as Star Wars? If you'll pardon my stealing a film line, the force is with us. But was defending the United States against Soviet nuclear aggression, Ronald Reagan's only motivation. Some believe that the real purpose of the Star Wars campaign was to fight extraterrestrials. It's all about arming planet Earth so that if the extraterrestrial presence suddenly turns hostile,
Starting point is 00:37:43 we have the military hardware to resist. While Ronald Reagan's Star Wars program was dissolved in 1993, some researchers believe it set the nation on a course for taking the next crucial step towards connecting with other intelligences. Washington, D.C., January 24, 2020. President Donald Trump reveals the official logo for the newest branch of the Armed Services, Space Force. With my signature today, you will witness the birth of the Space Force, and that will be now officially the sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces. That is something more. The USSF, an offshoot of the Air Force,
Starting point is 00:38:36 was established by the Trump administration to oversee military operations beyond the Earth's atmosphere. One of President Trump's most famous initiatives relates to the Space Force. Inevitably, the UFO community have said, well, this is about the aliens. This is almost a carbon copy of what happened under Reagan's presidency with Star Wars. Trump's announcement that the United States is going to have a space force says something important about what he knows as the president of the United States. There have been disclosures since he became president that seemed to suggest that his move in establishing a space force has merit.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Space, there would be a lot of things happening in space. Because space is the world's doing as war-fighting domain. The final push to create a space force came just months after three leaked military videos of unidentified aerial phenomena. became widely circulated online. The Navy goes in and shows Trump three videos, the GoFast, the Gimble, and the Tic-Tac video, and basically give them the video. So what is Trump gonna say?
Starting point is 00:39:57 So what is it? And they had to have said, we don't know, Mr. President, we're working on it. We're working on it, we don't know, we know it's for real. Could the formation of Space Force indicate that we are nearing the point when an American president will finally reveal to the way world that aliens are among us.
Starting point is 00:40:17 The escalation of the UFO presence has stimulated the awareness of the world, driving the process forward towards an announcement or confirmation by government, which I call disclosure. One of the fundamental purposes of the modern era is to get the world to the point where it will confirm the presence of these extraterrestrials. Once the world has had some time to adjust to that new profound information, open contact then becomes not particularly dramatic. In 2019 onward, I think we're not in disclosure. I think we're in confirmation.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Donald Trump, as president of the United States, is admitting that we've got some of our best military pilots who are reporting UFOs, and he in the White House and the Department of Defense, they are watching what the Navy pilots are reporting. The human race is now more ready than ever to accept the reality of extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs. And I think this is ultimately the end game of the extraterrestrial plan.
Starting point is 00:41:20 And they are here to guide us, to assist us, and to help us to manifest a new future for humanity. George Washington encountering a glowing being. Ronald Reagan witnessing an orb of light through an airplane window. Is it possible that America's presidents have known for centuries, the truth about an extraterrestrial agenda. If so, then perhaps we are on the threshold of learning not only the full history of the United States,
Starting point is 00:41:53 but also the hidden facts about an alien presence right here on Earth.
