NARRATOR: Official government reports

of extraterrestrial contact...

PILOT: Wow.

NARRATOR: ...a clandestine group

tasked with silencing UFO witnesses,

and secret research programs

to reverse engineer alien technology.

For over a decade, Ancient Aliens

has investigated covert groups,

bases and research sites that are connected

to the extraterrestrial phenomenon.

Now we're taking a look back

at ten of the most incredible secret projects

we've investigated.

Projects that could provide evidence

of government contact with extraterrestrials.

♪

As an ancient astronaut theorist,

I think it's great that UFOs are becoming

a regular subject of today's headlines.

And what I find even more exciting

is that for more than 80 years, witnesses have claimed

that the government has top secret programs

designed to study extraterrestrials

and their technology.

We'll start our countdown

with a famous incident in New Mexico

that the government still denies to this day.

At number ten on our list of the Top Ten Secret Projects:

The Roswell Cover-Up.

NARRATOR: The FBI posts thousands of previously classified files

to its new online vault.

And one file in particular draws immediate attention

from the media and independent researchers.

The memo, dated March 22, 1950,

is a briefing to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover

regarding informant information about three "flying saucers"

that were recovered in New Mexico.

Investigators immediately connect the memo

to the infamous Roswell incident,

a purported UFO crash that many people believe

was covered up by the military in 1947.

Perhaps the most famous UFO incident of all time

is Roswell.

Now, this crash was brought to the attention

of the Army Air Force base at Roswell,

and famously, the base actually put out a press release

and said a "flying disk" has been recovered.

NARRATOR: Just one day after this explosive headline,

the military changed its story

and claimed the recovered debris had an earthly origin.

RICHARD DOLAN: The world was told, "Nope, just a weather balloon,"

and for more than 30 years,

that's where it was left, until witnesses

started to surface,

saying, "In fact, it was an extraterrestrial craft."

NARRATOR: Is it possible that an alien craft

really did crash near Roswell?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and suggest the cover-up was part

of a secret government project.

As evidence, they point to statements

made 50 years after the event

by retired United States Army Colonel Philip J. Corso

in his book The Day after Roswell.

DOLAN: Philip J. Corso

made an incredible claim

that he worked at the Foreign Technology Division

within the Army Research and Development

and had key access to E.T. technology

from the Roswell crash.

NARRATOR: According to Colonel Corso's account,

military scientists were tasked

with reverse engineering the debris collected at Roswell.

After the 1947 crash in Roswell, New Mexico,

our technology took off just like a rocket.

Silicon chips,

laser technology,

fiber optics.

All of this stuff came after the Roswell crash.

Not only did Roswell spark public interest in UFOs,

according to allegedly top secret documents,

it also inspired the creation of a classified organization

that has a really cool name.

Number nine on our countdown: The Majestic 12.

NARRATOR: Movie producer and UFO researcher Jaime Shandera

is anonymously sent a mysterious document.

It is a top secret memo,

allegedly sent in 1952 from the CIA

to President-elect Dwight Eisenhower.

The document reveals the existence

of a clandestine government think tank

called the Majestic 12.

POPE: The Majestic 12

is supposedly the government body

that has responsibility for securing

extraterrestrial technology, uh, crash retrievals,

and investigating UFOs.

It comprises senior figures

in the scientific community, the military community,

and within government, particularly intelligence.

No one anywhere outside of this group

is to know anything about UFOs, crash retrievals,

E.T.s, bodies, any of it.

NARRATOR: According to the documents,

President Harry S. Truman established MJ-12 in 1947,

shortly after the infamous UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.

The files also include detailed instructions

explaining how to handle the debris

from an extraterrestrial crash.

NICK REDFERN: The documents talk about how

debris from UFOs could be collected

and sent to specific, um, military facilities

and how alien bodies could be preserved.

So the document essentially

is a guideline to handle UFOs.

HOWE: The most important document is the "Restricted SOM1-01,

Majestic 12 Group Special Operations Manual."

And when you go to page ten,

there is an extraterrestrial

technology classification table.

This is solid confirmation that our government knew

and was dealing with extraterrestrial entities

and technology in the '40s.

Of all the top secret projects we've covered on Ancient Aliens,

perhaps the most nefarious

is a group of clandestine government agents

who will do whatever it takes

to keep extraterrestrial encounters quiet.

At number eight on our list: The Men in Black.

NARRATOR: World War II Air Force veteran Albert Bender

establishes one of America's first UFO organizations,

the International Flying Saucer Bureau.

The IFSB publishes a quarterly journal Space Review

to share stories of UFO sightings

with its 600 worldwide members.

But just one year after launching, Bender claims

he was visited by three strange men in black suits

who threatened both his fledgling organization

and his life.

BILL BIRNES: Albert K. Bender coined the term

"men in black" to describe the people who cautioned him

not to talk about UFOs, not to talk about flying saucers,

and, above all, not to talk about extraterrestrials.

The men in black are, without doubt,

the most feared and sinister beings in ufology.

The men in black go around threatening people

who have seen UFOs, who have been abducted.

Even in some cases, people who have found crop circles.

NARRATOR: Encounters with the men in black

have been reported for more than seven decades.

But just who or what are the men in black?

DOLAN: There's a lot of men in black stories

that have occurred over the years.

Enough to make you conclude

that there is an agency involved,

or agencies involved, over the years

that, from time to time, have felt it was important

to silence UFO witnesses.

NARRATOR: Are the men in black a secret government agency

that is tasked with both investigating and concealing

an extraterrestrial presence on Earth?

Based on Albert Bender's account of his experience

with the men in black,

some researchers believe these intimidating figures

may even be alien entities themselves.

REDFERN: He said,

late one night, when he was working in his attic room,

these three shadowy, fedora-wearing figures

literally materialize through the walls of the bedroom,

and of course the three men were the men in black.

He thought they were

an extraterrestrial police force.

NARRATOR: If the men in black are, in fact, of otherworldly origin,

could it be that the government

is working with extraterrestrials

to keep their presence hidden from the public?

Whatever the truth may be,

many in the UFO community are convinced

these shadowy figures

continue to operate today.

POPE: UFO sightings haven't stopped.

Quite the opposite.

So, if UFO sightings are still going on,

there's no reason to suppose that men in black

aren't still going around, speaking to witnesses.

And if they're successful in their mission,

we don't get to hear about it.

It's quite possible that the men in black

are still operating, still intimidating witnesses,

and still being the gatekeepers of the UFO secret.

For UFO researchers,

one of the most intriguing secret projects

that studies extraterrestrial activity is located in England.

Its headquarters are rumored to be hidden

within a series of underground rooms

and tunnels found beneath a quaint country estate.

At number seven on our countdown

of the Top Ten Secret Projects: Rudloe Manor.

NARRATOR: In England's southwest county of Wiltshire

stands Rudloe Manor.

On the surface, it appears to be nothing more

than a charming English country house.

But deep beneath this structure lie

an astounding 2.2 million square feet

of vast caverns divided into many smaller chambers.

COLLINS: Rudloe Manor is an extremely mysterious place.

And at the heart of it is

a very hidden base,

one that is so secret

that very little is known today

about what actually goes on there.

NARRATOR: During World War II,

the caverns and chambers beneath the estate were used

by the British Royal Air Force

as an underground aircraft factory.

But while the underground complex once served

as a clever way to hide military production

from German bombers,

today it is used to protect

even more clandestine activities.

POPE: To this day,

the underground facility carries out work

which is highly classified, shrouded in secrecy...

...and, uh, people cannot get

information about what the true mission is.

It's-it's absolutely off-limits.

For years it was home to a group called

the Provost and Security Services.

They're kind of like the James Bonds

of the British Royal Air Force.

They do espionage investigations,

counterintelligence programs, things like that.

One of the more thought-provoking aspects

of Rudloe Manor is this claim

that it's sort of the British equivalent of Area 51.

NATE: Rudloe Manor earned its reputation

as the British Area 51 in 1955

after celebrated American journalist

Dorothy Kilgallen published a story

with the International News Service that claimed

the British Royal Air Force had recovered a UFO.

REDFERN: Kilgallen heard a story

that the British government had got its hands on a crashed UFO

and the military then decided

to start investigating it at Rudloe Manor.

Now, for years, the air force

and the Ministry of Defense denied

that any UFO investigations were going on at Rudloe Manor.

Then a document got released

and it showed that actually, yes,

UFO investigations had been done from Rudloe Manor.

And, of course, a lot of people say,

"Oh, wait a minute, now. Now we're getting interested."

So, all this, of course, uh, just fuels the idea

that maybe there is something to hide down there.

And whatever's going on down there, it's big.

One of the most compelling stories

we've investigated on Ancient Aliensfeatures

another top secret project in England.

It involves the 30-year cover-up

of what some are calling

"the greatest UFO photo of all time."

At number six: the Calvine Cover-Up.

NARRATOR: Newsweekmagazine publishes

the provocative headline "'Best' UFO Picture Ever,

the Calvine Photo, Found After 30 Years Missing."

WILLIAM HENRY: This photograph

from the Calvine Hills in Scotland

is crystal clear, it's in color.

It shows this just magical-looking,

100-foot-long, diamond-shaped craft

that is clear as a bell.

RYAN SPRAGUE: Not only that,

we also see a Harrier jet trailing the object.

As soon as this photo was

released to the public,

uh, people went crazy.

It was a big deal.

NARRATOR: According to the article,

the photograph was taken 32 years earlier,

in August 1990.

It is one of six photographs allegedly taken by two hikers

outside the small Scottish village of Calvine.

The two hikers brought the photographs

to Scotland's largest newspaper,

the Daily Record.

But then the photographs mysteriously disappeared.

HOWE: They had six photographs,

and they go to the local newspaper

to have them published.

And for reasons that are still not clear to this day,

this Scotland newspaper,

instead of immediately putting these six incredible photos

on the front page, which is what I would have done,

as a reporter,

somebody calls the Ministry of Defense in London.

And they are ordered to send the photos

and the negatives from the newspaper

to somebody in the government.

NARRATOR: Among the people who saw the six photographs was

former Ministry of Defense UFO investigator Nick Pope,

who was present for classified briefings regarding the images.

POPE: The photographs and the negatives went

to JARIC, which is Joint Air Reconnaissance

and Intelligence Center.

This is part of the intelligence community

that specializes in imagery analysis.

Their opinion was that this was not a fake,

these were genuine pictures.

NARRATOR: The photographs would remain

hidden from public view for over 30 years.

Until one of the photos was

shared with Newsweek for publication.

In 2022, a former Royal Air Force press officer

named Craig Lindsay

actually came forward and said that he had

in his possession a copy of one of the Calvine UFO photos,

and he decided he wanted to release it to the public.

Craig Lindsay was the Royal Air Force press officer,

who interviewed the original hikers who took the photos.

NARRATOR: While the photograph shared by Craig Lindsay

caused a sensation, the five other Calvine photos

have yet to be revealed.

But why?

Is it possible that the British government has

a secret project to keep evidence of UFOs

and extraterrestrials out of the public eye?

According to some government insiders,

it's a distinct possibility.

POPE: We had the photographs, we had the negatives.

Now, the Ministry of Defense

has not commented on whether the Craig Lindsay picture

is or isn't the real thing.

And therefore,

because I'm still bound by the Official Secrets Act,

I can't comment on that either.

But the picture's out there in the public domain,

and people can look at these images

and decide for themselves.

We're coming up on the halfway point

in our countdown of the Top Ten Secret Projects,

and this next one is absolutely mind-blowing.

According to one military whistleblower,

in the 1980s, a team of government scientists

challenged the laws of physics

and opened a portal to another world.

At number five: Project Jackknife.

NARRATOR: Counterintelligence officer Richard Doty

begins a new assignment at the Nevada Test Site--

a top secret US military facility

used for the development of nuclear weapons

in the 1940s and 1950s.

According to Doty,

he was part of an operation code-named Project Jackknife,

a military experiment that was attempting to open

a gateway to another world.

DOTY: I got involved in it

to protect the operation against any kind of espionage.

This particular experiment,

we used a high-energy laser and a large magnetic field.

And when they generated this beam

through this magnetic field,

what I saw was a wavy orb appearing.

And the orb became larger

and larger and larger and larger.

And behind it, there was a flashing light.

And when I asked a scientist

who was standing right next to me,

"What did we just see?"

He said, "We just opened the fabric of space.

"And if we go in that, then we can go

to another dimension."

They call that a portal.

NARRATOR: Also known as wormholes or stargates,

portals are bridges through space and time

that can connect to other worlds.

According to Doty, this is only one

of many secret experiments the US government has conducted

to try to create these conduits.

DOTY: Ever since the Central Intelligence Agency's

Office of Scientific Intelligence

realized that there were theories about portals,

they engaged in a number of operations over the years

to try to prove portals were possible.

And I can guarantee you even today

that there's some type of experiment going on.

NARRATOR: Could it be that for the past 50 years,

the United States government has had a secret project

to develop a real traversable stargate?

While it may sound like science fiction,

to ancient astronaut theorists

this technology is not only possible,

but there is evidence

it was used in the ancient world.

All around the world, we have myths and legends

of beings coming and going through gates.

The Anunnaki gods in ancient Sumeria

were constantly coming and going through gateways.

In Egypt, we learn of the portals of Ptah

and the pharaoh scaling the ladder to heaven

and going through the portal of the gods.

The idea of the stargate as a transportation system

has been proposed as one of the ideal ways

for these extraterrestrial beings to travel.

Deep in the barren desert of Nevada

is a clandestine military installation

that is the world's worst-kept secret.

It's a series of runways, nondescript buildings

and giant hangars.

And according to some government insiders,

it's also home to extraterrestrial spacecraft.

Number four on our countdown

of the Top Ten Secret Projects: Area 51.

NARRATOR: Throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s,

dozens of reports surfaced that suggested the US government

was hiding evidence of extraterrestrials.

But for many UFO researchers,

the most important revelations of all came in 1989,

from a physicist named Bob Lazar.

According to Lazar,

he worked on a top secret project

at an Air Force facility known as Area 51.

While there, he had a remarkable encounter

that he revealed to his close friend,

retired CIA pilot John Lear.

Bob Lazar used to work at Los Alamos.

Had the highest clearance that you can get there.

And then he worked for three or four months at Area 51.

It was December 6th of '88.

He comes in, he sits down there at, uh, my desk,

and he said, "I saw a disk today."

And I said, "What?" He said, "I saw a disk."

And I said, "You saw a flying saucer?"

He said, "Yeah, sure did.

"I saw 'em, I touched them.

They are real."

NARRATOR: With Bob's permission,

Lear shared his story with a reporter he knew

at the local KLAS TV station, George Knapp.

On May 15th,

Knapp sat down with Lazar for a live interview.

GEORGE KNAPP: We had a five-minute live interview segment

every day on the 5:00 news

and we got a cancellation at the last minute.

We got to fill this hole, we call up Lear,

"Hey, would your UFO buddy come on the air?"

And Lear calls back in a little while, "Yes."

We go up to John Lear's house,

we put Bob Lazar on the air, blacked out his face,

and he told this incredible story.

Exactly what's going on up there?

LAZAR: Well, there's several, uh...

actually nine, uh, flying saucers,

flying disks, uh,

that are out there of extraterrestrial origin.

And they're being test flown and, uh,

basically, just analyzed.

NARRATOR: Could Bob Lazar's extraordinary claims--

that there is a secret program

studying alien technology at Area 51-- be true?

The idea struck many as far-fetched,

until August 2013,

when the CIA not only acknowledged

the existence of Area 51,

but admitted that scientists at the top secret facility

had developed some of the military's

most advanced technology,

from the U2 spy plane

to the F-117 stealth fighter.

POPE: When this announcement was first made,

some people said, "Wait a minute.

"If Bob Lazar was right about Area 51,

"what else was he right about?"

Finally, these years of rumors

that the UFO community and the conspiracy theory community

had been claiming to be true had been validated.

When it comes to the UFO phenomenon,

one of the most astonishing secret projects

was revealed in 2002.

A computer hacker claimed to have uncovered NASA documents

that suggest that the US has been collaborating

with extraterrestrial beings for decades.

Number three on our countdown: the secret space program.

NARRATOR: Shortly after 8:00 a.m.,

the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit arrives at the home

of 36-year-old Scottish computer engineer Gary McKinnon.

They are there to arrest him

on behalf of the United States Justice Department

for hacking into top secret computers

at NASA and the Pentagon.

McKinnon not only admits to the crime,

but claims he uncovered evidence

that the US government was working

with extraterrestrial beings.

McKINNON: I found the spreadsheet. It was actually titled

in the column, "non-terrestrial officers."

And as well as officers' names, it had ship names.

None of these were oceangoing ships.

It was astounding.

They're not Navy. They're not in the Army.

And not even Air Force.

So, to me, I was thinking

there must be an off-planet space force,

or space fleet, at least.

NARRATOR: According to McKinnon,

the most shocking file he came across

was on a computer at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Within a folder labeled "unfiltered,"

he spotted a thumbnail image of a hi-res NASA satellite photo

which appeared to depict an unusual spacecraft.

McKINNON: And so I double click on an image

and it came down, you know, slowly, more and more.

But as it came down, you could see the hemisphere of a planet.

And then suddenly, a ship started to appear.

It was tubular, or what we used to call a cigar-shaped object.

Then suddenly, that was it. Blank screen.

So, it was my eureka moment.

And the same moment I got caught, too.

NARRATOR: Before he was arrested,

Gary McKinnon released what he had discovered online.

Could it be that his account

of what he saw when he hacked into computers

at the Pentagon and NASA is genuine?

According to ancient astronaut theorists,

the answer is a resounding yes.

DAVID CHILDRESS: It seems that what he's talking about

is real. And even today, I mean,

we have now the Space Force

of the American military,

and that would actually be combined

in with what Gary McKinnon was discovering

when he hacked into the Pentagon's computers.

NARRATOR: While there are many who question the authenticity

of Gary McKinnon's account,

other more notable figures

have since come forward with similar claims.

In 2013,

former Canadian minister of national defense, Paul Hellyer,

declared that the United States government

and other governments around the world

are working with organized groups of extraterrestrials.

Paul Hellyer was really a senior political leadership figure.

And he essentially came out and said

extraterrestrial are real,

uh, they are visiting Earth

and there is interaction.

PAUL HELLYER: I was privy to a lot of things.

And some of it, for me, very frightening,

very disturbing.

UFOs are real.

The United States government had been in contact with them.

NARRATOR: Paul Hellyer is not the only government official

to come forward with alleged knowledge

of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

PAUL HYNEK: Recently, the former Israeli chief of space security,

Haim Eshed, came out and said

that there is a galactic federation

and that indeed many world leaders

know of and are in talks

with delegates of the galactic federation.

CHILDRESS: Dr. Haim Eshed claimed that the extraterrestrials

in this galactic federation

were in contact with governments around the world.

It's a fascinating idea

and one that may well be true.

NARRATOR: Is it possible

that the so-called secret space program,

allegedly uncovered by Gary McKinnon,

is connected to the supposed galactic federation

that politicians have recently disclosed?

If Gary McKinnon's story is true,

it means that we have treaties

with-with extraterrestrials

and that we're up there in space

operating with them,

and that's an intriguing thought.

Without a doubt, one of the most extraordinary

government projects to study extraterrestrials

came to light in 2017,

but this wasn't some wild internet rumor

or conspiracy theory.

This classified program

was featured on the front page of The New York Times.

Number two on our countdown of the Top Ten Secret Projects:

AATIP.

NARRATOR: The New York Timespublishes an explosive story

entitled "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money':

The Pentagon's Mysterious UFO Program."

The story exposes a top secret US government project

to investigate UFO reports called

the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program,

or AATIP.

The revelations concerning the existence

of the Pentagon's AATIP program are extraordinary.

It is the single biggest ever news

in the whole history of the UFO phenomenon.

It's not quite a "spaceship in a hangar" smoking gun,

but it's the closest we've ever been.

NARRATOR: The article reported that the program had been run

by a former Pentagon official named Luis Elizondo,

a senior career intelligence officer

with top security clearance.

It was Elizondo's job to investigate reports

of unidentified flying objects

and to measure what threat they could pose

to national security.

Luis Elizondo is a long-standing

intelligence officer in the Department of Defense.

He has made it clear that the information that's come

to AATIP over the years is quite extraordinary

and not explainable,

and his most important statements have been

along the lines of, "Look,

"if we ever thought that these were Russian or Chinese,

we'd be going crazy right now."

To everyone who's able to read between the lines,

he's essentially saying UFOs are real.

NARRATOR: Elizondo ran AATIP for eight years,

from 2009 until he resigned in 2017.

During this time, the program collected

several extraordinary videos of military encounters with UFOs.

NARRATOR: Taken by forward-looking infrared cameras

mounted on Navy jets,

they were perhaps the most spectacular

and credible UFO videos ever released to the public.

[pilot laughs]

TRAVIS TAYLOR: One of these videos, at least,

comes from the gun camera of an F-18.

And you don't just jump out in your plane and fly out

and chase something because you saw it go by.

You were told to do so, and it took a lot of people

to know this was going on.

HENRY: 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.

NARRATOR: But perhaps the most shocking information to come out

about AATIP was that the government

had recovered strange, metal alloys of unknown origin.

Luis Elizondo has referred to these as "meta materials."

The implication is that they're-they're not special

magical elements or anything, but they do

seem to be materials that have been studied.

According to Elizondo, tests have been run.

The answer has come back:

whatever these things were, they came from space.

DOLAN: You know, for years and years,

UFO researchers had talked about crash retrievals of UFOs,

or that elements of these objects

had been recovered and were being studied,

and skeptics would laugh at these claims.

You know, how ridiculous

such conspiracy, paranoid, uh, fantasies were.

Uh, well, guess what? Now we have it confirmed.

NARRATOR: Although the complete findings of AATIP

are still considered highly classified

and may never be released,

its very existence provides proof

that the United States military has been secretly investigating

unidentified flying objects for decades.

One of the really interesting things about AATIP

is how much information hasn't been released.

Are there more videos? They were doing this for, like, five years

or maybe even a lot longer than that.

I bet you there's a lot more.

We've reached the top spot in our countdown

of the Top Ten Secret Projects,

and for ancient astronaut theorists like me,

this last one truly stands apart.

It was the subject of a televised

congressional hearing,

where rumors about unidentified aerial phenomena

became public record.

At number one: the UAP Recovery Program.

NARRATOR: The Debrief, a science news website,

publishes a sensational interview

with military intelligence officer David Grusch.

In the article, Grusch revealed that the Pentagon

has a top secret task force to recover

and reverse engineer crashed craft of nonhuman origin.

It is known simply as the UAP recovery program.

Grusch stated that there are multiple craft--

alien craft, let's be clear--

that the United States government

or its licensed private contractors have possession of.

He speculated it could be as many as ten or more

or a dozen or more. It's a lot.

NARRATOR: According to Grusch, the UAP recovery program

had secured vehicles that were made of exotic materials

and suggests they are nonhuman in origin.

Grusch claims he learned about this secret project

while serving on the UAP task force.

POPE: David Grusch served

on the unidentified aerial phenomena task force

under the directorship of Jay Stratton,

and he was a representative

of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

While I was on the UAP task force,

Dave Grusch was given the job

to go and start interviewing people who worked on

a previous UFO program

and see what they were willing to tell us.

And he found a lot of things.

NARRATOR: The dramatic revelation

of a secret UAP recovery program in The Debriefarticle

turned heads on Capitol Hill.

And on July 26, 2023,

just seven weeks after going public,

David Grusch 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 individuals sharing it.

Uh, this is because of these steps

I believe strongly in the importance

of bringing this information before you.

NARRATOR: During his testimony, Grusch refused to divulge

specific details about the UAP recovery program,

as the project remains highly classified.

If you believe we have crashed craft, as stated earlier,

do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?

Uh, biologics came with some of these recoveries, yeah.

And was this documented as evidence, video, photos?

The specific documentation I would have to

talk to you in a SCIF about.

DOLAN: When pressed for some of these details,

he would frequently say, "Look, I am going as far

"as I can legally go with you here in this environment.

"If we go into a SCIF"--

that is a secured compartmented information facility--

"where we can discuss these classified topics,

I can go further. I will be happy to go further."

HENRY: Millions of people are watching it,

and they're hearing this beyond-dramatic

testimony that, for the first time, we're told

what everybody knows to be true.

The US government has been hiding secrets

about UFOs for over 70 years.

The sworn testimony of David Grusch

seems to confirm what many have proposed all along:

that secret projects to study extraterrestrials

have existed for decades.

But whether it's a UAP crash and retrieval program,

a covert laboratory in the English countryside,

or even attempts to open portals to other worlds,

unlocking the truth behind these secret projects

may finally reveal a long history

of extraterrestrial visitation here on Earth.
