Crashed UFOs. Recovered alien entities. Secret programs. For decades, incredible claims have been made about an extraterrestrial presence on Earth–and the government has gone to great lengths to discredit them. Are we nearing the day when whistleblowers will finally be taken seriously–and their accounts proven true?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Crashed UFOs. David Grush said that they were in possession of an intact, extraterrestrial spacecraft. Recovered alien entities. Jesse Marcel knew not only that there was a crashed craft, but also bodies. Secret programs to study otherworldly technology. Bob Lazar said not only are we reverse engineering UFOs, but that he worked on one. For more than six decades, Incredible claims have been made about an extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

And the government has gone to great lengths to discredit them. Are we nearing the day when whistleblowers will finally be taken seriously and their accounts proven true? There's absolutely fear of being treated like you're crazy, but we have evidence. This is not crazy, it's not made up, it's real. There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promise of of truth. 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. Washington, D.C., July 26, 2023. On Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee assembles for a landmark

congressional hearing to record firsthand accounts of UAPS. activity. Here is Chairman Grothman and Lieutenant Ryan Graves. The subcommittee hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAPs will come to order. As we convene here, UAP are in our airspace, but they are grossly underreported. These sightings are not rare or isolated. They are routine. During the proceedings, lawmakers listened to testimony from three notable whistleblowers. Retired Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor and former Air Force intelligence officer David Gresh, who also served on the UAP task force.

The military veterans have come forward to testify under oath about UAPs that they claim the government has been covering up. Parts of our government are aware of more about UAP than they let on. But excessive classification practices keep crucial information hidden. William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist. Millions of people are watching it and they're hearing this beyond dramatic testimony that, the first time we're told, what everybody knows to be true. The U.S. government has been hiding secrets about UFOs for over 70 years.

Whistleblower David Grush even suggests that the government may be in possession of alien technology. Here's David Grush. I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program. For UFO researchers and lawmakers alike, the hearing marks a watershed moment, as many believe the Pentagon has been overly secretive about unidentified aerial phenomenon. This is Nancy Mace of the first congressional district of South Carolina. To have a UAP hearing on the House Oversight Committee was a first for the history books. There was a lot of information that was shared and alleged in that hearing, which made

it one of the most, I think, important hearings in the oversight committee's history. The hearings explosive testimony made headlines across the world. And like For many government whistleblowers, the individuals who sat before the committee came forward at great personal risk. Here is civil rights attorney, Danny Sheehan, and Tim Burchett of the Second Congressional District of Tennessee. From a layperson's perspective of what a whistleblower is, it is a person who has got inside information about wrongdoing, who comes forward and at their own peril, reveals this

to investigative reporters or to government officials. I had asked about 12 people to testify, and we got down to those three because the others had, I think they'd been threatened or warned not to come on. And some of them told us that, in fact. This is investigative journalist, George Knapp. If you're going to be a whistleblower, you've got to know that whatever deep, dark secret exists in your life, it's going to come out. These guys know that when they come forward with something as sensitive as this, they're going to pay a price. Is the government actively discouraging people from speaking out about UFOs?

According to military insiders, the answer is a resounding yes. But the willingness of whistleblowers to come forward, despite the risks, has led to more open discussion about the UFO phenomenon than ever before. And the man who is most credited with sparking interest among lawmakers on Capitol Hill is whistleblower Luis Elizondo. Louis Alizando was a full-time military career guy, the United States Army, and a very high-ranking counterintelligence officer. He was retained in 2007 to a top secret program,

which is the Advanced Weapons Special Access Program, to investigate the UFO phenomenon. He became involved in setting up some other special kind of less formal, program inside the Pentagon that was called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. For almost a decade, Elizondo studied UFOs and interviewed eyewitnesses for the Army. But according to Elizondo, the more he uncovered, the more his investigation was suppressed. They were making some progress in the military in the Pentagon, but he's trying to get the attention of his higher-ups. Hey, look,

these cases are really important. These encounters are dramatic and unexplained. we need to put some resources into studying this, and he got nowhere. He kept getting blocked. So he took a pretty courageous stance and resigned. In October 2017, Luis Elizondo resigned from ATIP after Pentagon officials refused to present his findings to defense secretary James Mattis.

I've seen too much. I've talked to too many people. I have too many reports. I know it's real. I can't a good conscience just keep my head buried in the sand. I had to leave the very job that I love to get my point across. He gets frustrated and he decides to do something about it. He becomes a whistleblower, not just a whistleblower, but perhaps the whistleblower of all time.

Just days after resigning, Elizondo shared his story with reporters from the New York Times. And on December 16th, the paper published a front page article that revealed the classified UFO program. This is David Shildress, author of Technology of the God. In many ways, that New York Times story really changed ufology around the world. Because when the New York Times got on board saying, yeah, there are UFOs out there. That opened a lot of people's eyes. Along with the article, The New York Times released three UFO videos taken by Navy pilots, including the now famous Tick-Tac encounter.

These videos captured the world's attention, and suddenly it's like we're in a new world. We have these incredible videos shot by Navy pilots, giving irrefutable evidence that there is a technology out there that is beyond anything our near peers have. Lou Elizondo was the core. I mean, without him, as the whistleblower, as the main impetus for it, that story would never have happened.

The videos, though, is what galvanized public attention. Almost immediately after Elizanda went public, elements within the government actively sought to discredit him. Richard Dolan is a historian and author of UFOs and the National Security State. Lou Elizondo went through a tremendous amount of harassment from senior Pentagon officials, former supervisors of his and the like. You had a statement in 2019 that came from the Pentagon spokesperson who stated that Louis Elizando had no official office with this office at ATIP in Advanced Airspace Threat

Identification Program. Lou Elizondo knew he'd pay a price, but it was almost immediate. The Pentagon undercut his credibility. But he's a courageous individual, and he stuck to his guns, and he changed the world. From Luis Elizando's 2017 ATIP revelations to the 2023, congressional UAP hearing, whistleblowers today are making their voices heard like never before. But they are just the latest in a long line of whistleblowers who've been coming forward to tell their stories for decades.

And the most controversial of their claims that the U.S. military is in possession of alien technology can be traced all the way back to 1947, and an Army Air Force Major who was at the heart of the Roswell incident. Roswell, New Mexico, July, 1947. An unidentified object is witnessed streaking across the night sky, then crashes into the desert north of town near the Roswell Army airfield. Rancher Mac Brazel hears the impact and investigates the next morning. Mac Brazel is the first to find the debris field, and it's an impressive debris field.

Pieces of objects and things everywhere. Brazell reports it to the local Roswell Sheriff, man named George Wilcox, and Wilcox sends some deputies out there, and the cases get crazier from there. Roswell Army Airfield sends people out to investigate it. The next thing you know, the press release goes out, Army captures flying disc. Here is Nick Pope, a former member of the UK Ministry of Defense.

Shortly after the US Air Force said we've recovered a flying disc, they reversed their position and said it was just a weather balloon. The Roswell incident has become the most notorious alleged cover-up of a UFO crash and retrieval in U.S. history. And at the center of it all is whistleblower Jesse Marcel. Here is Marcel's grandson, Jesse Marcel III. My grandfather, Major Jesse Marcel, back in July of 1947, was the head of intelligence for the 509th bombing group. I was heavily involved in our atomic program

and the Second World War and pretty well versed in the latest technologies, aircraft, what have you at the time. Major Jesse Marcel was really the lead investigator into what has become known as the Roswell incident. On July 7th, Major Marcel was dispatched from Roswell Army Airfield to examine the mysterious debris. According to his grandson, Marcel was so astounded by what he saw,

that he took the debris home with him. He went and woke up his son, my father, who was about 12 years all the time, and his wife, Vio, and said, you guys got to come take a look at this. He couldn't make heads or tails or any sense out of what he was looking at. Even stranger, while examining the wreckage,

Marcel's family discovered several mysterious markings. One of the things they noticed was it almost had no weight to it. And my father picked up what was a beam, about 11, 12, which is long, and all of a sudden, these symbols appeared. And he really came to the idea that whatever this was, it was not made by human hands. The next morning, Major Marcel was summoned to the Fort Worth Army Airfield in Texas. There he was given strict orders not to reveal the truth about the Roswell crash, and for three

decades he didn't. But in February of 1978, Marcel finally broke his silence. My grandfather was a ham radio operator. I loved to talk. He was talking on the home radio and somebody recognized his name as being part of the air base. And he talked a little bit about Roswell. And soon enough, a gentleman of my name Stanton Friedman heard of it and in any of my grandfather about it. And that was really when it broke up. Stanton Friedman was an American Canadian nuclear physicist who began scientifically investigating UFOs in the 1960s due to his curiosity about what happened at Roswell. When he learned that Jesse Marcel was ready to reveal the truth,

he went to visit him at his home in southern Louisiana. Here's Stanton. Major Marcel told me I was the first to talk to him that what they were trying to keep underwap was actual wreckage of a flying saucer. General Roger Ramey had to the 8th Air Force covered it up very straightforwardly. Here's author and euphologist Bill Burns.

Roger Ramey came to Razzell and said, He said, bring all the UFO material to Fort Worth, 8th Air Force headquarters, and we'll disclose the truth. But major Jesse Marcell goes to Fort Worth, and they bring out a weather balloon. And they make Jesse Marcel a radar-trained intelligence officer stand in front of a weather balloon and admit that he was confused.

Everybody was familiar with weather balloons. that Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer for the 509, couldn't recognize a weather balloon, is ridiculous. According to Friedman, in order to ensure that the truth about Roswell remained hidden from the public, the military not only had to stage the famous weather balloon photo, but also make sure that Marcel and others who knew the real story towed the line. You agree that you will not reveal anything you've learned that you'll learn that

you've learned that was classified to anybody without a need to know and an appropriate security clearance. There are darn few people who, after the war, incidentally, broke their security of us. My grandfather broke his bond of secrecy. I think that in some small part, he was looking for a little bit of, you know, like, hey, you guys, you know, there was something to this. Despite his excitement over what he had found in the debris field,

Marcel maintained his silence until he was 70 years. years old. People who are involved in keeping secrets, it poisons you. And you feel this great release when you finally get it out and say, yeah, you know, it's all true. I've spoken to military witnesses who sat on stories for 50 years out of loyalty, out of a belief that the law constrained them. But Marcel, 30 years on, he was like, okay, that's enough of the Calvin.

a story. Here's what really happened. After Marcel broke his silence in 1978, it caused a sensation, and Friedman began referring to the Roswell cover-up as a cosmic watergate. This is ancient astronaut theorist, Georgiosucalos. Before 1978, the Roswell crash was pretty much unheard of. Only in the hardcore groups of UFO people would you know about Roswell. Jesse Marcel blew open the door to the most famous UFO crash story that you can think of today. Could it be that Jesse Marcell is just one of dozens, or perhaps even hundreds, of military personnel who have witnessed unexplainable events that they are forbidden to reveal? UFO researchers suggest the Roswell incident was just the beginning of a decades-long government cover-up,

one that involved an elaborate disinformation campaign, disguised as an official UFO investigation called Project Blue Book. The famous Roswell incident was just one of many high-profile encounters with unidentified flying objects that occurred during the late 1940s. In June 1947, a pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine silver disc-shaped objects flying near Mount Rainier. Less than one month later, Sailor Harold Dahl reported that a flying disc dropped molten slag onto his boat near Moray Island, Washington. And in January 1948,

Army Captain Thomas Mantell tragically died in a plane crash while chasing a UFO over Western Ohio. These and other similar events prompted the government to launch Project Blue Book in 1952. Project Blue Book was the US Air Force research and investigation program into UFOs.

This was a project that took some years but by the mid-60s, there's 20,000 cases there. So this was one of the most significant investigations of UFOs of its time. Project Blue Book would last 18 years and involved dozens of investigators. Chief among them were Air Force Captain Edward J. Rupple, astronomer Jacques Ville, and Project Blue Book's scientific advisor, Dr. J. Allen Heineck. According to Dr. Heineck's son, Paul, the Air Force made its agenda clear right from the start. Here's Paul.

The Air Force came calling to my father in the late 40s, asking him to tamp down reports of flying saucers. My father was very useful to Project Blue Book because he had the academic credibility to get people to believe what he's saying. J. Allen Heinek was an astronomy profession. brought on by the U.S. Air Force. And to start off with, he absolutely took the party line. But while the purpose of Project Blue Book was to discredit UFOs, over the course of his tenure, Heinek grew to question the project's mission. My father was muzzled by the Air Force in terms of what they would investigate,

how serious they would investigate it, and what he was allowed to disclose. He had a front row center seat to the most confidential aspects of the early days of the UFO phenomena. And my father went from a diehard skeptic to an acceptor of the accumulated weight of the data. Heineck's findings were dismissed by his superiors, who demanded that he continued to debunk UFO reports. And when Project Blue Book ended in 1969, Heinek went public. He was really the main person to draw attention to the family. that Project Blue Book was not set out to find the truth, but to control the narrative.

Jay Allen Heinek was one of the most outspoken voices about the government efforts to suppress evidence of UFOs. And some researchers believe he would have spoken out sooner if it wasn't for a tragic event that happened to one of his colleagues, Air Force Captain Edward Ruppelt. Here is Micah Hanks, editor of The Debrief. Edward Ruppelt was the first first one of the first. was the first director of Project Blue Book.

During his tenure, which lasted close to two years, Rupert was in charge of all of the best information that the United States Air Force was acquiring at that time about, as he began calling them UFOs. And Rupert actually gave us that term, unidentified flying object. Project Blue Book was ostensibly a military project to debunk UFOs, but Rupelt wasn't going along with it.

Ruppet was saying, oh no, there's something going on here. We need a look at this. Captain Ruppel frequently found himself at odds with his superiors, like when he tried to investigate a major UFO incident that occurred right over the nation's capital. On Saturday, July 19, 1952, at 11.40 p.m., air traffic controllers at Washington National Airport and Andrew's Air Force Base detected seven unidentified flying objects on their radar screens. The UFO sightings caused a sensation, and incredibly, more unidentified objects were detected again the following weekend.

For two weeks, Washington, D.C. was buzzed by a fleet of seven UFOs. They literally fly over the White House, over the Capitol, Washington National Airport. Ruppelt was in Washington while this is happening. He wanted to investigate it. And his frustration begins because he's told he can't have a staff car because he's not a general if he went to. wants to investigate it, go get himself a taxi. Frustrated by what he saw as a government effort to debunk all UFOs, in 1953, Rupold resigned from Project Blue Book. And a few years later, he made his findings public.

In 1956, Rupelt publishes a book about his experience as the director of Project Blue Book, the report on unidentified flying objects. This book is incredibly important because this is the first time that the public gets a glimpse of the inner workings of the government's investigations into UFOs from an insider. One of the things Rupelt pointed out in his book that was really interesting and important was to show that within the military, particularly the Air Force, many of them took UFOs quite seriously and believed that this was interplanetary. That was the word they were using back then.

Rupert's book captivated readers across the country. Its popularity led to an updated version being published four years later. But curiously, in the new printing, RuPaul completely reversed his position on the UFO phenomenon. In 1960, Rupel had a second edition of his book, and he said that UFOs were a hoax, that they did not exist. The strange thing is that he dies within months of the release of the book. He's a 37-year-old man who dies of a heart attack.

And now on top of this, the UFO community is wondering what happened to him? Is there a conspiracy here? It is still one of the most enduring mysteries of when a UFO investigator essentially left us before their time. Is it possible that Captain Edward Ruppold paid the ultimate price for exposing a government cover-up regarding UFOs? Perhaps further clues can be found in the statements of another whistleblower who claimed to have reverse engineered an alien spacecraft. Throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, dozens of whistleblowers came forward with incredible claims about the government's knowledge of extraterrestrial visitation. But for many UFO researchers, the most important revelations of all came in the late 1980s, from a physicist named Bob Lazar. The first person Lazar told his story to was his close friend, retired CIA pilot, John Lear.

Here's John. Bob Lazar used to work at Los Alamos, had the highest clearance that you can get there, and he worked for two or four months up there at Area 51. While working at the top secret Air Force facility known as Area 51, Lazar revealed to his friend that a remarkable object was hidden deep within the secret military compound. It was December 6th of 88. He comes in, he sits down there at my desk, and he said, I saw a disc today. And I said, what?

He said, I saw a disc. And I said, you saw a flying saucer? He said, yeah, sure did. I saw him, I touched them. They are real. I said, well, there's no reason you should be here right now because they're going to have followed you. They know exactly what you're doing. Four months later, Lear learned that his concerns about Lizar being watched by the military

were well founded. Lazzar revealed that Air Force officers at Area 51 had approached him to let him know that they had been keeping track of not only him, but also his wife. They had some private information that his wife was having an affair. He said, we can't have anybody working with us

who has family problems like that. So we need to suspend your work up there until you get things sorted out. And that was April 7th of 89. and that's when he decided to go public. With Bob's permission, Lear shared his story with a reporter he knew at the local KLAS TV station, George Knapp. On May 15th, Napp sat down with Lazar for a live interview.

We had a five-minute live interview segment every night, and I don't remember who it was that day, but they canceled late in the day, and I didn't know what we're going to do, and I thought, I wonder if Lear's UFO buddy might be available. I had no idea who Bob Lazar was, and so we sent a live unit up to Lear's home. The skinny, bespectacled guy comes out. We had to hide his identity, silhouette.

We used a pseudonym, and we started interviewing. And outspills this story of a secret facility built up in the Area 51 complex. Exactly what's going on up there. Well, there's several, actually nine flying saucers, flying discs. that are out there of extraterrestrial origin, and they're being test flown and basically just analyzed. It is the highest rated, locally produced series ever airing in Las Vegas, and it changed the course of my life.

After Lazar's sensational claim, Area 51 became the center of public interest, and UFO enthusiasts began to comb the Nevada desert in search of the secret military installation. Bob Lazar ultimately revealed his identity, and once he did, his life would never be the same. Bob Lazar, he was ripped apart for this information. In fact, it got so bad where his house was broken in.

He was harassed. His family was threatened. Lazar thought he was going to be killed. We were being followed. We were being tracked. Our phones were tapped. We were being watched. I mean, I made an open appeal.

to our audience. I said, look, I know there are people who are watching this program now who know about the reverse engineering, and I want you to reach out to me. And six times in a row, people who contacted me, offered to meet with me and go on camera, were visited the very next day by people purporting to be government agents who told them to shut the hell up or else. And in a couple of those cases, they were threatened with death. Faced with constant harassment, Lizar retreated from public view. Then, in 2013, In 2013, 24 years after Bob Lazars' explosive interview, a Freedom of Information Act request forced the government to finally reveal the existence of Area 51. While Air Force officials still denied the facility had anything to do with extraterrestrial craft or beings, Lazar felt a sense of vindication.

In 2018, he decided to share his story in filmmaker Jeremy Corbell's documentary titled, Bob Lazare, Air, area 51 in flying saucers. In the late 1980s, the U.S. government had recovered alien spacecraft, several of them, and the technology in the Nevada desert that they were keeping quiet and analyzing. That's a fact. Here's investigative filmmaker, Jeremy Corbell. I think after he saw some time passing and saw how people were saying things that he never said, just finally got him.

I mean, he's a fighter. So I think he just got to a point where he was saying, okay, enough is enough. Here we go. What do you want to know? I don't like being in the public eye. I don't have money for doing this.

And quite frankly, I could make up a better lie, but I have no motivation to lie. Jeremy's film was an atomic bomb all over again. A whole new generation of people got to learn about Bob Lazar. And I think it inspired some of the people who are now coming forward as whistleblowers to go ahead and have the courage to speak up.

Could it be that Bob Lazar was targeted by a campaign to suppress the truth about alien technology at Area 51? Many believe Lazar's willingness to come forward opened the door for another whistleblower, one who exposed a conspiracy so vast, it would take him into the halls of the United States Congress. June 5, 2023. The Debrief, a science News website publishes a sensational interview with military intelligence officer David Grush. David Grush, he's a former intelligence community officer. He served on the UAP Task Force under the directorship of Jay Stratton, and he was a representative of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.

This is astrophysicist and aerospace engineer Travis Taylor. Taylor. While I was on the UAP Task Force, Dave Grush was given the job to go and start interviewing people who worked on a previous UFO program, see what they were willing to tell us. And he found a lot of things. In the debrief article, Grush revealed that as part of his official duties at the Pentagon, he was informed of a decades-long top-secret military program to recover and reverse engineer crashed craft of non-human origin.

It was his job to go and interview some of the people in the system who are actively responsible for keeping it secret. And he says it's all real. Everything you've heard, everything you've been told, all the rumors about crashed UFOs, dead bodies, it's all true. Rush interviewed, he said, about 40 witnesses within the national security establishment. He stated that there. There are multiple alien craft that the United States government or its licensed private contractors have possession of.

And he stated that there are what he called biologics that were recovered. That's his word for alien bodies. I've been in the secure environment with Dave and have been briefed on everything that he's uncovered. And everything that he's saying in public has been approved by... by the Defense Department and also by the Inspector General. There's a there, there, as the saying goes. And we would all be wise to listen to the stories. Astonished by the scope of the project, Rush came forward as a whistleblower.

He decided that the Pentagon was withholding critical information on this subject from Congress, which he argued was illegal, and he ended up issuing a complaint about this to the Inspector General's Office of the Intelligence Committee. community. On July 26, 23, just seven weeks after going public, David Grush and two other whistleblowers testified before a congressional hearing. I have taken every step I can to corroborate this evidence over a period of four years while I was with the UAP Task Force and do my due diligence on the individual sharing it. This is because of these steps, I believe strongly in the importance of bringing this information before you. During his testimony, Grush revealed specific details of military UAP

encounters. He also stated that despite having nothing to gain by disclosing this information, his testimony made him a target for significant repercussions. Mr. Grush, have you faced any retaliation or reprisals for any of your testimony or anything? Yeah, I have to be careful what I say in detail because there is an open whistleblower reprise. investigation on my behalf and I don't want to compromise that investigation. But it was very brutal and very unfortunate. Some of the tactics they used to hurt me both professionally and personally to be quite frank. Yeah. Here is Paulina Luna of the 13th Congressional District of Florida. We were told that individuals had been killed protecting this information. He's in

fear of his life as well as the safety of his wife. There is something more nefarious. at play here. Almost immediately following his dramatic testimony, articles in the press attempted to discredit Rush, making a string of accusations aimed at questioning his mental state. They tried to say that because he had deployed and some of his friends have died, he might have PTSD. They tried to discredit him, which is just the most egregious smear that they could ever run on a military service member.

The article sensationalized his mental difficulties. And it turns out that the author of it actually acknowledged publicly that he had been contacted by sources inside the Defense Department and directed to do this. We have a generation's long history of the federal government trying to discredit witnesses, and I believe we saw that with David Grush. The U.S. military denies David Grush's sensational allegations. But if what he says isn't true, then why did members of the Defense Department act tried to discredit his testimony.

The claims made by David Grush and other whistleblowers like him have brought more attention to the UFO phenomenon than ever before. An ancient astronaut theorists believe that the truth about an extraterrestrial presence on Earth may finally be revealed. Washington, D.C., July 13, 2023. After more than 70 years of whistleblower testimony claiming that the U.S. government is covering up the truth about UFOs, members of Congress finally decide to take action. Here is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

I'm pleased the NDAA will include my amendment on increasing transparency on UAPs or unidentified anomalous phenomena. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sponsors the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act. The bill would require the release of all government knowledge of UAPs. UFO researchers are left frustrated when it is finally signed into law five months later. Some really robust and new whistleblower provisions were drafted. But not a lot of that actually made it into the final bill. In fact, a lot of the really interesting UAP-related provisions were negotiated out.

No independent review board, no Eman domain provision, no extra whistleblower, protections. Were these changes to the legislation simply part of a routine political process? Or might it be the latest attempt by the government to suppress information about UFOs? Either way, many UFO researchers remain optimistic that we have entered an age in which more whistleblowers will come forward than ever before. The fact that Congress gutted this legislation, a lot of people in the UFO world see that as the end.

It's just the beginning. And I think that what's going to happen over the next months and years is that additional whistleblowers are going to go public. And they're going to release documents and they're going to release videos that are going to be very compelling. Much of the information that we've gotten about UFOs has been from whistleblowers. People who are insiders, they're in the military, and they think that people should know these things.

And so they risk themselves by becoming whistleblowers. For the past eight decades, the heroes of this movement have always been the whistleblowers, the insiders who decide that the powers that be can't withhold this information from the American people and indeed the human race any longer. They're dedicated ultimately to what all of us are seeking, the truth. It is the whistleblowers who will move us one step closer to answering the extraterrestrial question, it's about time that we're being told the truth because we can't handle the truth. We're told we can't, but we can. And so I think we now live in one of the most exciting times

in the entire history of our planet. In the wake of the whistleblower hearing before Congress, could even more incredible secrets soon be revealed? Secrets involving knowledge of a real extraterrestrial presence on Earth. For now, the fact that UFOs are the truth is a real UFOs are being discussed in the mainstream press and Congress represents monumental progress. If we ever learn the full truth about UFOs, whistleblowers will undoubtedly have played a key role in getting that truth out. We'll look back at the history of some of these people, and we'll name the names and say, these are the people who enabled this to be done. I see it as the Mount Rushmore of uphology that one day we'll have those faces carved in stone somewhere,

Hinek, Ruppeld, Elizondo, Grasch, and many others. They're all heroes. What if the incredible claims of UFO whistleblowers are all true? Could it be that first contact with extraterrestrials does not lie in the near future, but has already happened? Perhaps as more whistleblowers continue to come forward, the fool truth will finally be revealed. And we will discover that we are not alone, even on our own planet.
